I learned skills in a different world

Chapter 47 Learning to make tools on the ancient border (3)

After a pause, Shen Fangshi explained again, "Oh, sweet potatoes are what you eat. I once read in a book that this kind of sweet potato is also called sweet potato. It is a kind of food brought by overseas businessmen from other countries. , but I don’t know why it didn’t spread in the Great Wei Kingdom.”

"Wow, Xiaoten, you know a lot."

"Yeah yeah."

Lin Feng asked curiously: "Xiaoten, which book did you read about it?"

Shen Fangshi continued to compile: "It took so long that I didn't pay much attention at the time and forgot about it."

Then he changed the subject, "Let's go look for sweet potatoes together early tomorrow."

"Okay!" Everyone cheered.

"The little tenon is so powerful."

"Yeah, we didn't find anything to eat for so long, but Xiaoten found it in one afternoon."

"After all, Little Tenon is Uncle Da Zhuang's son, and Uncle Da Zhuang is the only carpenter in the nearby village!"

Shen Fangshi listened to them with a smile. Yes, Lin Dazhuang was Lin Gu's father. Not only was he the only carpenter in the village of Bianguan, Shabei, he also had very high carpentry skills. Therefore, Lin's father was still very respected in the village.

No one in the same village noticed that the person in Lin Que's body had changed.

After all, no matter how much they have gone through, they are still a group of children.

They thought that finding sweet potatoes was just like finding edible wild fruits before, and they did not realize the preciousness of sweet potatoes.

As for fire, the hunters in their village know how to make fire by drilling wood. Lin Ju may have learned from him.

The people in the camp got up before dawn the next day. Lin Feng and the others were divided into two teams. Four of them followed Shen Fangshi to find sweet potatoes, while the others continued to work with people in other refugee camps.

Lin Feng is not among the four. He is now considered the leader of Linjia Village. It is best for him to lead the group when helping the army.

Since there were no backpacks to carry things, the only two old men in the camp sewed several bags with rags.

Yuchengguan not only has vast wilderness, but also stretches of mountains.

It was already late autumn, the grass was withered and yellow, Yuchengguan was desolate and desolate, and the cold wind from the north was blowing bitingly.

Shen Fangshi spent the whole night running the "Qingmu Changchun Jue" to improve his body and drank spiritual spring water, but the time was too short, and he did not dare to drink the elixir wine or take the marrow-cleansing pill, fearing that the effect would be too obvious and others would notice.

So I was hit by the cold wind and almost fell down.

He had never suffered in the previous world. Even if he sometimes forgot to eat and sleep while doing research, experiments, and cultivation, Fu Chuanbai would make arrangements for himself and take good care of himself.

Thinking of Fu Chuanbai, Shen Fangshi was silent for a moment, but quickly adjusted and led the other four people towards Yanyan Mountain.

In the main barracks of the military camp, the atmosphere was different from the optimism in the refugee camp. The air was slightly solemn.

A middle-aged man couldn't help but say: "Those stupid Humang people will steal and rob the people if they can't be beaten. Four or five villages have been massacred."

"Alas, we rushed there too late. We only rescued about a hundred people. In some villages, not a single person was left."

"They are really beasts. They don't even spare the elderly, women and children!"

All the generals said indignantly.

At this time, an elegant scribe said: "General, there is still a problem."

The sounds in the barracks suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the chief seat in the barracks.

I saw a young man wearing armor, with a figure as tall and straight as a pine tree, a strong momentum, and a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars under his sword-shaped eyebrows. He was the General Chu that people called him.

General Chu looked at the scribe and motioned to him.

The scribe said: "We don't have much food and grass. The military rations have been delayed, Hu Mang is disturbing the people, and now there are so many more villagers, I'm afraid..."

"The most important thing now is to arrange for these villagers as soon as possible. Living in a refugee camp is not an option. There will be hidden dangers."

When they cannot distribute relief food, the villagers may gather together and riot. Although there are not many people, there will be trouble if things are not handled well.

"I wonder when the imperial court will deliver food and grass?"

"I hope the military pay will not be deducted too much. Almost half of the food and grass last time was mixed with sand, and a lot of the food was moldy and cannot be eaten at all."

"This is so fucking frustrating. I've been born and died to protect my family and my country, but I'm just a cheap little person who can't live without food!"

When the scribe saw that everyone was talking to each other again, his ears hurt from the loud voices, but he was used to it and only looked at the person above him.

As expected, General Chu spoke.

"How long can we manage our food supply now?"

His voice was not loud, but everyone's noise stopped immediately.

The food and grass officer said respectfully: "General, the food and grass we have now is only enough for the entire military camp for half a month at most."

This is only counting the minimum daily ration for each soldier, which can barely sustain half fullness. But how can those soldiers go to the battlefield like this?

In addition to military pay, they also cultivated military camps in Yucheng Pass. However, the border environment was harsh, the land was barren, and the harvest was not good. Now they had to help refugees, but no matter what, they could not let the soldiers go to war hungry.

General Chu showed no expression and just asked: "Qi Diao Si, have you found out all the tribes you were asked to investigate before?"

Qi Diaosi was a bold and careful man. He was often sent to do investigation work, and he had already anticipated General Chu's problems.

Qi Diao Si saluted and said: "General, we have now explored three tribes and roughly figured out the location and number of their tribes."

General Chu no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice: "Well, count the troops and take the initiative to attack."

"Yes!"

The generals, including the scribes, were very excited. They had been forced to resist in the past few days. Now it would be more painful to take the initiative, and it could also replenish the little food and grass they had left.

Orders were issued one after another, and the military camp was immediately ready to go.

There were many people on the way into the mountain, most of them were refugees like Shen Fangshi and others who wanted to go into the mountain to find some food, and some were nearby hunters who wanted to go into the mountain to hunt.

The wilderness that is about to enter winter is lonely and desolate, and the sky is filled with yellow sand. Occasionally, the vast sky echoes with the loud calls of wild geese.

Shen Fangshi had just come to this world and didn't know the way very well. The original owner didn't have many things about Yanyan Mountain in his memory. It was still the way pointed out by the system.

This also avoided the suspicion of the other four people.

They were all half-grown teenagers. They hadn't eaten much recently, so they didn't have very good physical strength. They walked very fast. After half an hour, they finally arrived at Yanyan Mountain.

Yanyan Mountain is a dense forest. In autumn and winter, Yanyan Mountain takes on a chilling feel. Although the vegetation is withered at this time, the wild fruits are already ripe, and the wild beasts in the mountains and forests are not short of food.

Therefore, all the fruits and wild vegetables on the outskirts of the mountain forest have been picked long ago. Even the roots of grass and trees were dug up when people were extremely hungry, so there was basically nothing left.

Ordinary people do not dare to go deep into the mountains and forests, and even hunters do not dare to go too deep. Only nearby military camps dare to organize soldiers to hunt in the mountains in order to make tooth sacrifices for the soldiers and replenish food and grass.

Shen Fangshi and his children did not dare to go too deep. He planned to quietly place some sweet potatoes on the outside near the mountains for them to discover.

When it was almost done, Shen Fangshi said, "I found it near here. Let's search separately. You should all remember what sweet potatoes look like, right?"
