Chapter 36 Supplies are urgent
The whole family sat around the table, Chen Fan stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and chewed it very vigorously.
"Is it beef?"
he was surprised.
"It's beef."
Chen Guodong explained: "That wild bull in the morning, let the pack of wolves eat a lot, and the rest is less than a hundred catties. Our family has a little more, four or five catties, all of which are here."
As for the meat eaten by wolves, I plan to make blood sausage with wolf intestines at that time, which can be regarded as a flavor.
"I also divided dozens of catties of wolf meat, and the wildebeest meat you brought back yesterday. The total is estimated to be hundreds of catties." The woman's eyes narrowed with a smile.
In the past few years, there has never been a day like today. There is so much in stock. If it is just food, it can be enough for a family to eat for a month.
"Is that so?"
Chen Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. From this point of view, in the short term, there is no need to worry about food, but the hunting must continue, and he cannot sit and eat.
After swallowing the beef, a message also appeared in his mind.
"Potential point +0.2."
"As expected of beef, there are two slices of rabbit meat on top of one piece." He secretly thought, picked up the second piece, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.
Chen Guodong and his wife also started eating.
While eating, the woman suddenly said: "Guodong, the rice at home is almost gone, and the salt jar is about to bottom out. Look, do you want to get some meat and go to Songjiabao to exchange some?"
Chen Guodong stopped his chopsticks, then nodded, and said, "I'm going to change some."
Chen Fan's ears moved slightly, and some memories in his mind slowly emerged.
This Songjiabao, like Zhaojiabao, is also a relatively large camp, with one or two thousand people. The leader of the village is said to have some connections with Anshan City, a hundred kilometers away, and can get some precious daily necessities, such as Rice noodles, grains and oils, cigarettes and tea, even drugs and weapons.
Guns and ammunition also seem to be available, but they are very expensive.
In some small villages around, you can exchange gold and silver jewelry, beast meat and other things to exchange for what you want. I heard that some villages will also exchange women and children.
Of course, it is not allowed to enter. A special area is designated in front of the fort for simplicity. If you are setting up a stall, you need to charge some stall fees, and the other party guarantees your personal safety.
Therefore, the reputation of Songjiabao in this area is much greater than that of Zhaojiabao.
"Dad, is Songjiabao far away?"
he asked curiously.
"Somewhat."
Chen Guodong thought for a while, "It's about 15 kilometers, and the round trip is 30 miles. If you want to go, it's best to start at three or four o'clock. If you delay a while on the way, it's too late and you can't come back, it will be dangerous."
The woman was silent when she heard the words.
But there is no way to do it. If there is no rice and meat to eat, it is better, but if there is no salt to eat, it will be very serious.
"That's dangerous, isn't it?"
Chen Fanxin raised his throat.
"This is not dangerous."
Chen Guodong smiled wryly, "In this world, even if there is enough food, it is dangerous to stay in the stockade and not go out. Don't make trouble, nothing will happen."
"At that time, I will go with you." Chen Fan thought for a while and said.
"This, don't use it."
Chen Guodong hesitated for a while, and said: "It's just to change some things, not to go hunting, it's not as dangerous as you think, and we also have experience in this matter, nothing will happen."
"Yes, Xiaofan."
The woman also nodded.
"Dad, I mainly want to see him." Chen Fan smiled.
He actually doesn't want anything, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so it's hard to say.
If he guessed right, the people in the village used to buy things with gold and silver jewelry, such as a few catties of rice, a bottle of salt, etc., and they were hidden away, and even if they were seen, it would not cause too much trouble. Big attention.
This time is different, everyone is using prey to exchange, dozens of catties of animal meat, according to my father, one catty of the most common animal meat can be exchanged for two or three catties of rice, that is hundreds of catties of rice, ten people, that is several One hundred catties, it's hard not to attract attention.
In this case, with him on the scene, he can help if he is in danger.
As for why the price is so expensive, it is because the rice and wheat in the past have mutated and cannot produce ears. Although substitutes have been found, the price of seeds is extremely high, and the small village cannot afford it.
The most important thing is that if it is planted outside the city, it will be fine during the day, but it will definitely attract fierce beasts at night, so it is very difficult.
Rare things are more expensive, and some people deliberately control them, forming this situation.
In addition, he really wanted to go and see it.
"Here, okay, wait for two days, and there will be some more prey, you set off with us."
Chen Guodong also felt that what Chen Fan said was very reasonable. In his heart, if Chen Fan wanted to lead everyone to live, he must also be exposed to these things.
"Then, you should pay attention to safety." The woman's heart twitched again.
"Don't worry, Mom, didn't Dad just say that there would be no danger?" Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Yeah, don't worry, nothing will happen, not once or twice."
Chen Guodong also comforted him.
I don't know if Chen Fan is going to follow, but he suddenly felt that this trip, I'm afraid, is really not as simple as he thought.
But, what can I do?
Still going.
After a stormy meal, the whole pot of meat was eaten up by the family of four.
Chen Fan ate about two catties of meat by himself, and his belly was round. After coming here for a few days, he was finally full once, which is not easy.
Not only that, but the potential point has also increased from 6 to 28 points. Strengthening the body twice is probably enough.
"There are still two or three days. It is best to reach the third level of body quenching. If it is not possible, the second level of body quenching is fine."
He secretly thought that if he reached the third level of body tempering, he would be able to use the bow with a pulling force of two hundred catties, with a limited range, estimated to be more than two hundred, close to three hundred meters, whether it was encountering a fierce beast or being followed, With this kind of strong bow in hand, the probability of the team retreating unscathed is much higher, and they can even go to the "dangerous zone" that Uncle Liu and others call "dangerous zone".
For the second level of body tempering, you can still only use a bow with a pulling force of 100 jin. Of course, the effective range of 200 meters is actually not bad. It is more than enough to deal with ordinary people and some intermediate-level beasts.
In addition, it is best to increase the level of [Basic Archery] by one level. For the riding and shooting characteristics of level 3, the hit rate has not yet reached 100%, so upgrade it to level 4 to ensure foolproofness.
In short, I hope everything is safe and sound, but we must also be prepared to deal with emergencies.
"Dad, I went to practice martial arts with Uncle Zhang."
"ah?"
Chen Guodong was stunned, then raised his head, and there was no longer any trace of Chen Fan in front of him.
"This kid..."
There was a wry smile on his face.
"He is also working hard."
The woman had a distressed expression on her face.
"yes."
Chen Guodong sighed, and it is no exaggeration to say that the entire village now counts on Chen Fan's archery skills for a living.
Even if it is him, it is the same.
Chen Fan was walking on the loess road, looking at the attribute panel.
Strength attribute, 18.51, almost 20.
He originally planned to use it when his physical strength was exhausted. Depending on the situation, how about strengthening it first?
Because after the strength attribute reaches 20 points, you can use a bow of one hundred catties normally. If you practice archery with this bow, your proficiency will increase faster, right?
