After more than four months of raging, the bitter cold wind finally showed signs of weakening. Although the sky was still full of snowflakes, the visibility was much higher and the snowflakes were smaller.

According to the old tree man, at most one month, the snow will slowly disappear, and spring will come.

When Shen Yannian heard it, he still felt like a dream. There is still spring here!

With the wind and snow these days, he almost thought that it was only winter here!

But the warmer weather is a good thing after all. They dug mines and smelted iron to build the fence, and when spring came, they could just fill in the hollowed-out pits and plant them.

Spring, the season of vitality.

Thinking of this really makes me feel a lot better.

The only regret is that the old tree man didn't bring the little tree man over.

Even though he went through three more treatments, the adult worms on his body were basically eliminated, and his health was obviously much better, but the old tree man didn't seem to appreciate it. Although his attitude towards Bai Ye gradually softened, he never once mentioned that he wanted to see other people in the camp. people!

Yes, the old tree man has been treated by Shen Yannian five times before and after. In almost two months, this stunned person has never said that he wants to see Shen Yannian and others, even though Shen Yannian talked to him many times in the drone , even if he clearly saw other people working beside him in the camp, he just kept his eyes on him, and never said a word to anyone except Bai Ye and the cemetery who were receiving him.

This is extreme arrogance, and it also looks down on human beings!

Shen Yannian also thought that maybe after this treatment, the old tree man would ease his hostility towards humans and ease the relationship with them, but looking at it now, he is too naive!

But fortunately, they were not idle during this seemingly peaceful time.

Bai Ye led people to clear a large piece of land, and after erecting a cement cloth shed, they built a total of five small blast furnaces. The coal excavated from the tunnel has less impurities and is resistant to fire.

The land is full of mines. Although the types are different, the iron ore content is more than enough for them to build walls and houses.

Spring is coming, Bai Ye and the others have to consider the drainage problem.

The terrain of the camp is quite high, so there is no need to worry about the problem of water accumulation according to the earth's conditions, but now, the snow they shoveled and piled up in one winter is more than ten meters thick, which is higher than their walls, let alone the snow in other places. If it thawed at the same time, the water could flood their camp.

And to survive here in the future, there will be snow in winter every year, so Shen Yannian and his new house built a new house with metal steel columns and bottom ore, and then laid metal plates on it to build an elevated floor, which is four feet high. meters, the bungalows built above are used for living.It is used for drainage during thawing in spring, and it can also be used to pile up sundries in normal times.

The shape is actually a reference to the bamboo houses on stilts in the south, but instead of bamboo, metal is used here.

But judging from the current situation, the temporary house built before may not be able to keep it!

Every time the old priest mentioned this, he sighed: "What a wonderful house, I didn't even dare to think about it before, but now I only live in it for a few days, and it will be demolished!"

What a waste of things!

Needless to say, the others were reluctant. Although it was a prefabricated house, it was much better than their previous house because of the good materials and exquisite decoration.After such a beautiful winter day, no one can stand the sudden announcement that it will be demolished.

After all, Bai Ye is more sensible. Although he is reluctant to part with it, it is better than being submerged when the snow melts later: "Now it can still be used after dismantling it, but if it is soaked in water behind, it will be a waste of things."

The truth is such a truth!

But I still can't bear it!

Everyone started to tear down the house bit by bit, crying, sending the materials to the metal panels and rebuilding.

Tashan's houses were among the first to be demolished, and he almost cried while hugging A Ying so distressed.

His bed, his little blackboard, his paintings!

He has recently become obsessed with games, and he specially built a game character snowman outside the window. Every time he is on the bed, he can see the snowman through the window, drinking water and playing games while lying on the bed, it is heaven!

Now, all gone!

Jiang Yang slapped him from behind: "Okay, the house in the back will be rebuilt for you!"

Tashan stroked his chest: "What's the same? The outside is made of metal panels, while the inside is made of wood, and the number of panels has increased, and the area has also expanded—it won't be my hut if I build it again." "Our nest is gone!"

A Ying met Jiang Yang's playful eyes, his endurance finally reached its limit, and he pushed him away: "Okay, you, let you watch less TV dramas, what kind of nonsense are you learning!"

Recently, Shen Yannian played "XX Raiders" for them. Tashan chased after him so much that he was fascinated, even if he became hypocritical, he was too hypocritical.

I don't even look at my five big and three thick, can I compare with other beautiful girls?

I told the adults, hot eyes!

Tashan didn't listen to what he heard, and dragged him to make a fuss, and Ah Ying hurriedly dragged Jiang Yang away.

No matter how sad the old priest was, seeing these living treasures all scattered.

Bai Cheng persuaded his teacher: "In a few months, when the new house is built, the adults said, it will be more lively than before. At that time, if there are people from the clan, priest, our life will get better and better!"

The old priest looked back at the dormitory that had been demolished several times, and then at the new construction site that was in full swing, took a breath, and touched Bai Cheng's head: "You have to study hard, watch more, and think more!"

Bai Cheng grinned happily.

He knew what the priest meant. In the past, in Baicheng, no matter how good their lives were, they never enjoyed all kinds of delicious food, warm clothes, and handy tools—even if they studied and worked day and night, but They gain more.

Looking at the steel city that is still in its infancy, if this had to be said half a year ago, people would die of laughter!

But now, they just stand here quietly. According to Shen Yannian's drawings, the future here will be a city of steel!

"Where are the people from the construction team dead? Someone is important here!"

"Come and push the board, where will everyone die!"

"It's time to pull the thread, come and help me!"

……

Well, this future might take a while!

The shortage of manpower in the camp has reached an unavoidable state.

Since winter, for the past four months, Shen Yannian has been entertaining with good meals and dishes every day, three meals a day plus supper, calling this group of elders

Every meal is full and good—but after such a long time, no one gained a pound, but lost a lot of meat.

Why?are tired!

From mining at the beginning to building houses, building electricity towers and clearing tunnels...it's not a problem!From opening my eyes to going to sleep, thinking about the things I have to do every day is hopeless.

Shen Yannian was the one who didn't have to do heavy and rough work in this group of people, and he lost a lot of weight after helping the beaters. No matter how healthy Bai Ye was, he couldn't bear such consumption. Fortunately, Shen Yannian gave him good food, otherwise he would have collapsed a long time ago.

"According to the current progress, we can barely build [-] houses in one month. It is enough to live in Datongpu." Shen Yannian looked stern, "But after spring, we will start to move the soil, create farmland, and start planting. There is also the expansion of the camp, the expansion of the electricity tower, and the signal tower is indispensable..." After writing down a series of notes, he frowned, "According to this, our manpower will not be enough even if we have several times more!"

Bai Ye looked at the notebook full of writing in his hand, feeling worried.

There are so many people, where can I find them!

"The matter of finding the clansmen can't be delayed any longer!" Bai Ye looked at the snowflakes flying outside, "It will take a month on the road, and I have to find people again. I don't know if they are in good condition..."

Speaking of this, Bai Ye's voice could not help but lowered.

This winter, because of Shen Yannian, they had a pretty good life, but those clansmen he left in the city would only be treated as slaves, and slaves in winter...

Shen Yannian had heard some things from Bai Cheng. Seeing Bai Ye like this, he felt very uncomfortable. He sat down and patted his arm: "It will be fine when they get back here, and it will be fine when they get home..."

Bai Ye's depression was only for a moment. Under Shen Yannian's comfort, he quickly recovered his usual rationality and calmness: "The threat of the old tree man is still in front of us. We can't send too many people out. We don't have enough manpower. Let Mu Yuan lead the team, and three people ride Go on a snowmobile. Pack some fuel biscuits and ride lightly."

Shen Yannian was worried: "Then what should I do when I come back? No, I'd better go with a few more people and ride a few more cars!"

Bai Ye shook his head resolutely: "No! Dealing with the old tree man is just around the corner, and there will be a shortage of manpower at that time! Mu Yuan will bring money there, and buy more supplies at that time, no problem!" He seemed to be convincing Shen Yannian, but also seemed to be Convince yourself and say firmly.

Shen Yannian knew that he couldn't persuade him, but after thinking about it, there really was no better way. "Otherwise, we'll wait until spring..."

Slow down the work of the camp.

Bai Ye rejected this proposal even more.

He didn't want to tell Shen Yannian something too dark. The second half of winter is the most difficult time for all human beings. The stored food is almost exhausted, but there is no new output from the ground.Some tribes will reduce the food of slaves in winter, and this season is the time when the probability of slaves starving to death is the highest!

If they go later, even if they are lucky enough to survive the winter, the trading market will open in the spring, and all kinds of slaves will be exchanged and sold. When they left last year, the clansmen were basically left in several places, but after the spring, it will be hard to say!At that time, it will be even more difficult to gather the tribe again!

"Now that the wind and snow are light, the journey is not as hard as before." Bai Ye made a decision, "The day after tomorrow, let Mu Yuan lead people to set off!"

Shen Yannian looked at him and nodded: "When he leaves, we will take action. If we don't get rid of the threat of the old tree man, we will be restrained in everything we do in the future!"

The two looked at each other and smiled wryly.

There is a long way to go!
