Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Chapter 137 Enemy attack!

About forty people sat at the long table and wolfed down their food, and for a moment no one spoke.

no way!

So delicious!

In this world, no matter men, women, young or old, everyone is short of food and clothing. Now it is a year of disaster, and many people cannot even have a bowl of porridge to drink.

Therefore, most people do not have the energy to work. It is not because they are lazy, but because of long-term malnutrition and lack of physical strength.

I originally came to Xiaofengshan just to have a full meal, and I didn't expect anything more.

But today when they had their meal, they found that they could eat rice here, and it was enough to fill them up.

There weren't many dishes, but one was scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and another was large chunks of braised pork.

They couldn't even dream of it.

Everyone carefully tasted every piece of meat on the plate. The long-lost wonderful taste was so fragrant that even the tongue wanted to swallow it.

The guards quickly devoured all the food, even leaving no soup and eating it with their steamed buns. The plates were so clean that they hardly needed to be washed.

Looking up, I saw that everyone else's plates were cleaner than the other.

There was no way. Everyone hadn't had a full meal for a long time, and it was a meal with so much meat.

Out of face, no one felt comfortable asking for more food. They were already very satisfied to eat so much in one meal.

Aunt Liu’s braised pork was so delicious today that Chen Changfan ate a few extra pieces.

In order to prevent indigestion, he deliberately went out for a walk and took the opportunity to investigate everyone's feedback on the food.

It is said that "people are made of iron and food is made of steel" and "if you want to capture the hearts of your employees, you must first capture their stomachs", so Chen Changfan pays great attention to the food.

"Old Wei, how does this meal compare to the one in the army?"

Old Wei looked up at Chen Changfan, and when he found that the boss was not calling him, he continued to eat.

The guard saw that Lord Chen had stood behind him without him noticing, looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

He immediately stood up and replied somewhat awkwardly, "Sir, the food in the army is far inferior to that here."

This is the truth.

After the meal, everyone felt warm all over, and the slight unhappiness they had felt before was swept away.

The feeling of fullness and satisfaction brought by high carbohydrates can make people forget many troubles.

In today's era, as long as you have enough food to eat, you can even train a group of loyal soldiers to fight for you.

After everyone finished eating, they returned all the tableware.

Aunt Liu even set up a泔水袋 to collect leftover food, but after all the plates were returned, the泔水袋 was still empty.

Here, there is no need to promote the "Clean Plate" campaign, as everyone is reluctant to waste even a grain of rice.

After eating and drinking, everyone continued to work, and Chen Changfan called Lao Wei.

"Boss, what do you want?"

In private, Old Wei was still used to calling Chen Changfan "boss". Seeing that Chen Changfan seemed to be worried, he immediately asked tentatively.

"But are you worried about the bandits coming to take revenge?"

Chen Changfan nodded.

"We not only killed a group of horse bandits, but also several mountain bandits. They will surely come looking for us soon. We need to prepare in advance."

When he thought of the horse bandits, Lao Wei's face became serious. Being targeted by these guys was definitely not a good thing.

"Someone will definitely come tonight. I can't say for sure which group they are or how many people will come."

Chen Changfan took a look around the walls and arrow towers and felt that these defensive facilities were not good enough.

He called Hu the bricklayer, asked about the current number of adobe bricks, and made relevant adjustments.

"First, reinforce and raise the walls with adobe bricks. Construction of the furnace can be put on hold for a while. After all, the refractory tiles need time to dry in the shade."

Bricklayer Hu nodded in agreement.

"Thanks to your reminder, Master, I've stockpiled a lot of adobe. I'm afraid it won't be enough to reinforce the wooden wall, but we can build a small earthen wall. At least the garrison's wooden houses and other facilities can be enclosed within the wall."

Bricklayer Hu made a rough estimate and gave his own judgment.

Chen Changfan nodded, "Then go and make the arrangements. Build the earth wall as soon as possible within three days."

Bricklayer Hu responded and went to work quickly.

It was quite a huge undertaking to build a wall of this size within three days.

"Old Wei, come with me."

Chen Changfan took Lao Wei out of the camp and carefully checked along the wooden wall.

"These areas are blind spots in the Arrow Tower's field of vision. Send a few people to take turns on duty tonight to prevent anyone from sneaking up from here."

Old Wei took careful note of everything Chen Changfan instructed. He now really had a premonition that a big war was about to happen, and his nerves had begun to tense up unconsciously.

The two of them walked out of the wall and Chen Changfan took a look around.

"These trees are too tall. If you climb up, you can see what's happening inside the camp. Find someone to cut them down."

Chen Changfan explained several more problems, and Lao Wei arranged people to deal with them one by one. The village protection team was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

After explaining all this, Chen Changfan returned to the cave, picked up the tools and began to polish the fish bones.

During the battle with the white ape, the fishbone arrows were used up and he needed to replenish some.

"Damn, this bone is really hard, and it's often hard to find it after you shoot it out. When I make a Gatling gun, I'll shoot you damn bandits to death sooner or later."

It was late at night, and Chen Changfan was still working hard to polish the arrows, so much so that he was a little irritable.

In my previous life, I worked overtime until late at night and died suddenly at my workstation. I didn’t expect that after traveling through time in this life, I still have to work overtime to polish arrows. Is this really the fate of an ox or a horse?

Fortunately, Shen Cuiyun brought a bucket of hot water, sprinkled some flower petals on it, and added a few drops of white ape blood, which made a bucket of excellent foot bathing water.

Feeling the waves of comfort coming from the soles of his feet, Chen Changfan felt all his fatigue swept away.

The white ape blood in the foot bath water seemed to be extremely beneficial to the body, making him feel very comfortable.

"Erlang, you've worked hard all day, why don't you take a break early?"

Shen Cuiyun walked over to the foot bath tub and dried the man's feet.

Then she hugged Chen Erlang from behind with heartache, and a subtle touch came from behind.

Her delicate cheek was pressed against the back of the man's neck, and her breath was as sweet as orchid.

Which cadre can withstand such a test?

Chen Changfan finished polishing the last fishbone arrow in his hand before putting down his work.

The whetstone is sparking.

He chuckled, stood up and picked up the lady horizontally. The latter immediately blushed and buried her head in the man's arms.

Listening to Chen Changfan's strong heartbeat, Jiao Niangzi seemed to have thought of something and her breathing became a little disordered.

"Erlang, please have mercy..."

These gentle words fell into his ears, but it was like a flame ignited in his heart. Chen Changfan was about to take further action -

Dangdang Dangdang!

Dangdang Dangdang!

The rapid sound of gongs rang out from above, accompanied by the loud shouts of the village protection team.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! All men, come out with weapons!"

"The bandits are coming! All men, come out with your weapons!"

The loud voice immediately woke up the people who were sleeping. The village protection team was the first to take action, followed by the bandit suppression team.

Chen Changfan had no choice but to put his wife down, picked up his bow and arrow and walked out of the cave.

"Erlang, be careful..."

Shen Cuiyun's worried voice came from behind.

Chen Changfan used the Cloud Ladder to get out of another pit directly. In the darkness, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

Damn horse bandits, you ruined my good thing, you must die today!
