Although there are weeds and thatch growing everywhere here, the soil here is extremely fertile.
"Let's settle down first."
As the mastermind of this group of people, Fang Xiaoyue decisively issued the order.
After the hard work of the past few days, this group of people has become quite skilled and experienced in cooperating with each other.
The women, old and young, dispersed to collect firewood nearby, while the young men left the valley to look for food outside.
Fang Xiaoyue wandered around the valley alone, inspecting the terrain of the entire valley.
When he walked near the swamp, he was surprised to find several pieces of taro.
Taro is a plant rich in starch and has high nutritional value. It only needs to be boiled to make a delicacy.
In addition, he also saw some plants that are used both as medicine and food, the details of which need not be described in detail.
When he reached the deepest part of the valley, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
There is actually a connected valley deep in the valley.
The valley inside is larger and flatter, and there is a thin line of sky between the two valleys. The surrounding mountain walls are towering and steep, making it a natural and dangerous place.
After going back and forth a few times, Fang Xiaoyue made up her mind and decided to live here.
Not to mention anything else, those few pieces of taro alone are enough to support everyone's initial survival, not to mention that there is a forest in the inner valley, including ginkgo trees, jujube trees, mulberry trees, etc., which can be climbed along the mountain wall.
, there is also lush vegetation on the ridge.
It can be said that it is difficult to starve them to death just relying on the plant resources here.
"Let's go and settle down inside."
Fang Xiaoyue returned to the outer valley, gathered everyone, and started heading towards the inner valley.
Entering the inner valley, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The outer valley looks pretty good, but the inner valley is naturally dangerous and can give them a sense of security.
After a few busy days, everyone settled down in the inner valley.
In order not to destroy the fruit forest resources in the inner valley, when felling trees, Fang Xiaoyue would rather take everyone out of the valley to cut down the forest outside, and then slowly carry them back.
During this period, Fang Xiaoyue placed a warning circle of wooden statues all around. Any humans or even large animals that approached would be spotted by the wooden statues and issue an early warning.
After more than a dozen wooden houses were hurriedly built, everyone recommended Fang Xiaoyue to be the village chief of this small human village.
He did not refuse and took office directly.
Now that we have settled here, some things should be put on the agenda.
Such as cultivating new fields!
Even in these hundreds of thousands of mountains, these honest farmers have not forgotten the basis of their survival.
This is not surprising. Although there is a lot of food in the two valleys, and Fang Xiaoyue leads people to search everywhere when nothing happens, there is no need to worry about the source of the food.
But in the eyes of farmers, those foods cannot feed people without rice and flour.
Besides, the storage time of many foods here is not as long as that of rice and flour.
It is actually not difficult for them to cultivate new fields.
With Fang Xiaoyue's skills, it is not difficult to make some wooden farm tools. Coupled with the five captured war horses, it is relatively easy to cultivate a large area of farmland before winter.
But they have no grain!
When they were fleeing, they didn't even bother to bring food and seeds. They were lucky to be able to bring a few more Wowotou, white flour and so on.
"Let's do this. I'll take a few people out to take a look first, and you can cultivate the fields first."
Fang Xiaoyue made a decision after a little hesitation, and immediately ordered his eldest son Zhang Ping'an and several others to leave the valley as his entourage.
As for the safety here, in addition to some wooden statues he left behind, most of the captured weapons were also left behind.
For those who go out, a machete is enough for each person.
The people who stayed behind reluctantly sent the village chief away and turned to work on farming.
Fang Xiaoyue was not idle while leading people to Xiaofeng Valley, and began to teach several people sword skills.
Xingyiquan is not only boxing, but also weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and sticks.
Among them, the Five Elements Knife is the most famous.
In fact, the Five Elements Knife is a set of swordsmanship techniques compiled from various schools of swordsmanship and using the Five Elements Fist as a template.
Therefore, even though Fang Xiaoyue has not specifically practiced swordsmanship, she has a strong foundation in Five Elements Quan. In addition, after being promoted to level 5 in Xingyi Quan, Fang Xiaoyue naturally became proficient in various weapons in Xingyi Quan.
But for now, the Five Elements Knife is undoubtedly the easiest to get started with.
I watched my father holding a machete, flying back and forth among the woods. The sword was shining brightly, and countless broken branches and leaves fell one after another, but it was difficult to touch him.
This really left Zhang Pingan and others dumbfounded.
Zhang Pingan, in particular, began to wonder, could his father be an anonymous master?
But his guess is not surprising. Compared with Fang Xiaoyue and Zhang Dadao, the changes have been huge.
If it were a modern society, Zhang Ping'an would probably think that his father had been killed by some monster.
But in this plane, there are no legends about monsters, so no matter how strange Zhang Ping'an is, he doesn't dare to treat Fang Xiaoyue as his father.
"Draw the knife!"
After Fang Xiaoyue practiced it once, he asked several people to practice the basic movement breakdown.
This was an inspiration he got from his previous military training.
At that time, didn't learning to goose step mean breaking down the movements? One step at a time and so on.
He also broke down the Five Elements Knife into basic movements, and then asked several people to practice distance apart while walking, and they could also practice footwork.
As a result, at the beginning, the young men led by his eldest son really made a lot of jokes.
He was walking while taking out the knife, but if he didn't pay attention, his feet would be shaken. At least he stumbled, or at worst he fell directly to the ground. Not to mention he was in a state of embarrassment, and soon his face and body were covered in bruises and bruises.
Of course, as a result, the traveling speed will be much slower.
Fang Xiaoyue would rush over from time to time to catch the guy who was about to fall under the ridge.
Otherwise, when we go back, the valley will be crying loudly.
So by the time they arrived at the entrance of Xiaofeng Valley, it was already night.
Fang Xiaoyue and others had to camp near the mouth of the valley.
As for dinner, I found some nuts on the spot, inserted bamboo skewers into them, and roasted them over the fire until they softened. They were a bit sweet.
When they got up early the next morning, the group walked through Xiaofeng Valley and headed straight to Zhaogui Village.
No way, if I want to say that I am familiar with it, I am still familiar with Zhaogui Village.
They thought that even though the Beiyue cavalry came and plundered a handful, they would still miss some grains, right?
After all, grain seeds are not for human consumption here.
In many large families, in order to prevent unfilial sons from stealing the grain seeds, the grain seeds must be soaked in manure buckets before being dried and stored!
Well, that is to say, anyone who steals grain seeds is equivalent to eating shit!
