"What needle box?"
Song Yuehua said, "Once you see it, you will know what it is. By the way, help me keep an eye on the You Mansion."
The next day, when she came to the wall at the entrance of the village again, everything inside and outside had been cleaned up. Only a thick black smoke was rising not far away, which had been burning from yesterday to today and was still burning.
Zhou Dafu brought over two large baskets of arrows and said with a look of regret, "Most of them are damaged. The arrows need to be repaired."
"It's okay as long as the arrow is fine. Grandpa Zhu will have to work hard next." Song Yuehua said.
Zhou Dafu smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, there were three doors prepared in front of the gate. They were originally set as traps to lure snakes into the hole. Breaking the door was also part of the plan. The gate was replaced early this morning.
These days, everyone in the village has been busy and exhausted. They put some meat slices in the porridge and rice they cooked these two days as a reward for everyone.
After the cult incident, many people realized that the world has changed. If they try to be cunning and cunning at this time, they will end up dead.
On this day, Zhou Lizheng and Song Yuehua were at the bamboo craftsman's house, discussing how to make more bows and arrows.
Bows and arrows consume a lot of energy, so it is impossible for one person to do it alone.
The bamboo craftsman also agreed that now that the situation has come to this critical juncture of survival, no matter how important the skills are, they are not as important as survival.
Despite this, Zhou Lizheng still sympathized with him. After the disaster, the Zhu family also had to make a living, and it would not be appropriate for their craft to be known to everyone.
"It's up to you to decide who to teach," said Zhou Lizheng.
The bamboo craftsman smiled and said, "I will teach anyone who wants to learn. What matters most now is staying alive."
Song Yuehua said, "We still have to make a living after surviving this drought. How about I give you a way to have the best of both worlds?"
Both old men looked at her.
After all, Song Yuehua had experienced the industrial age. To make a product, one only needs to separate each process and teach each person a part of it. One person is only responsible for one process. This is not only efficient, but also there is no need to worry about the loss of technology.
Just like in a factory, some people have been screwing screws for their entire lives and have never seen a completed product.
Although the bow and arrow is not that complicated, the principle is the same.
The two elders agreed very much after hearing this. The bamboo craftsman laughed and said, "Girl, you have a really smart brain."
Song Yuehua just smiled.
The problem was solved, and the three of them chatted for a while. Zhou Dafu came over with an anxious look on his face.
"Dad, that..." Zhou Dafu looked embarrassed, "There are people outside, looking for you, they are all village heads..."
At this time, the headmen of each village came over and they could guess what was going on with just a quick guess.
The bamboo craftsman stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look together."
Song Yuehua also followed.
At the entrance of the village, in addition to Wang Lizheng from Hongye Village, there were also Lu Lizheng from Luoxia Village and Lei Lizheng from Daozhu Village.
There were not many villagers who came with him, only about a dozen people in total, and Zhou Lizheng invited a few of them in.
After the three village heads came in, they looked at the wall behind them, the tall tower in front of them, and the villagers who were busy all the time, and they were all envious.
After the incident in Hongye Village, Li Zheng Wang could no longer enter Taoyuan Village, so he had to flee to other villages with his group. However, the situation in the other villages was not much better than theirs.
Several village heads came here with no other purpose than to find a way to survive.
"Brother Zhou, if it weren't for this life-and-death situation, we would never want to trouble you. We know each other, and you have to save the lives of our village."
As Lu Li was speaking, he was about to kneel down.
Zhou Dafu, who was standing next to him, quickly supported the man.
Zhou Lizheng also spoke up, "I understand why you are here. I am willing to help as much as I can. I'm sure you have heard the rules for entering the village from Old Wang."
"Of course, I have a bond with you all. If it only involves me, I can ignore my own interests and my situation and do everything I can to help you through the difficulties. However, now that you are here as the head of the village, and I am also speaking here as the head of the village, I can only say this from the perspective of the entire village. If you want to enter the village, you must follow the village rules."
Lei Lizheng said excitedly, "How can we get 1,000 kilograms of food?"
"Brother Zhou, 1,000 kilograms of grain is really too much of a burden..." said Wang Lizheng.
Lu Lizheng hunched over and asked, "Brother, we are not unreasonable people. Can we give you less food? 1,000 kilograms is not something that many people can afford."
Not only is grain expensive now, it is also hard to buy. A normal farmer can only store a few hundred kilograms of grain, so how can he possibly come up with 1,000 kilograms of grain?
Zhou Lizheng asked, "Tell me what you think."
The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Lizheng spoke again, "Before coming here, we went to Xinan Village, where they agreed to accept everyone in the village for 50 kilograms per person. We discussed it with Brother Zhou and saw if we could do the same..."
Xinan Village?
I haven't heard of any action from Xinan Village before. I guess they have some skills to survive the cult and refugees.
It is unknown how long the drought will last. 50 kilograms per person can be self-sufficient for at least half a year. It is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either. If that were the case, why would these three people come to Taoyuan Village?
Song Yuehua thought about it and whispered a few words to Zhou Lizheng.
Zhou Lizheng nodded, then looked up and asked, "Does Xinan Village have any other conditions for keeping people here?"
Hearing this, Lu Lizheng's face suddenly turned bad.
The other two also smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
"There are indeed some requirements. They must be men over 14 and under 40. Women, old or young, are not accepted..." Lu Lizheng said as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
