Chapter 21: Natural Disasters Heavy Snow
The wind howled and the snow swayed.
Gu Mi stood by the window, looking up at the falling snow, frowning slightly.
"It's snowing too much."
She whispered, then immediately turned around and hurried out of the house.
"Lord Lord." Avery was clad in animal skins and cuddled with the others in the hall of the village affairs center to keep warm. Seeing Gu Mi walking out of the small room inside, he quickly stood up and called.
"It's alright, I'll go out and have a look."
Gu Mi nodded to indicate that Avery didn't need to pay attention to himself, and then carefully stepped out of the crowd and came to the door. Foley shouted eagerly.
"Lord Lord, please allow me to go out with you."
Thinking that Avery has a giant bear suit, is not afraid of the cold, and that more than one person can help, Gu Mi did not refuse: "Okay." The
two of them As soon as he walked out of the gate of the village affairs center, he was greeted by the cold heavy snow on his face.
Gu Mi wiped his face, removed the broken ice on his face, turned his head to look, and suddenly found a black bear head next to him.
She was shocked, and almost greeted her without drawing a knife.
Fortunately, I reacted rationally in time, and found that it was Avery wearing a giant bear hood, not a magical beast who sneaked in quietly, so it didn't cause a tragedy.
"Lord Lord?"
Avery touched his hood in confusion and looked back at Gu Mi who had been staring at his hood.
"...This headgear suits you very well." Gu Mi sincerely praised.
"Uh, thanks."
Avery was even more confused, but Gu Mi didn't mean to explain. She took out a complete rabbit skin from the card book and put it on her face to act as a temporary mask to block the cold wind and snow, and then Head towards the farmland with Avery.
It had only been snowing for more than an hour, and the outside world had already turned into a world covered in silver. There was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and even a layer of frost and snow hung on the tops of the trees.
Gu Mi stepped on the ground covered with snow, and could clearly feel the softness of the snow, which showed that the snow had accumulated a certain thickness.
This made her heart feel heavier and her pace quickened involuntarily.
Avery followed silently.
He didn't ask the lord where he was going, because her goal at this time was very clear, which was the direction to the farmland.
It seems that the lord found that the snow was too heavy and worried that the crops in the farmland would freeze to death, so he hurried to rescue.
When the two came to the farmland, they found that there was already someone else here.
At this time, the old village chief was taking Rabbit Xiaosi together to make a shelter for the crops on the farmland to block the heavy snow.
They nailed wooden stakes into the ground to support the four corners, and then placed four wooden stakes across the top of the four corners, and tied the joints with twine to build a simple wooden shelf.
Then cover the top of the wooden frame with a large piece of animal skin that is simply sewn from a few pieces of animal skin. The same operation is performed on all four sides, but the cover is changed to hanging, which is similar to setting up a square leather tent.
In this way, the crops in the field can be preserved as much as possible in the cold wind and snow.
The crops donated by the system farmland are different from those in the world that Gu Mi originally had in the world. This is a unique crop in survival games, called wheat beans. It is also the raw material for making the kind of bread that has a super hard taste and can even be used as a weapon.
The fruit of wheat beans is a bit like a combination of wheat and beans, Gu Mi guessed that its name should come from this.
Although making this thing into food is expensive to eat, its advantages are also very significant.
First, the wheat and bean plants are resistant to cold and heat, with tenacious vitality, and they are not picky about the choice of land, so they can adapt to most harsh environments. They simply build a warm shed that can block the wind and snow.
The second and most important point is that the yield of wheat beans is very high, the yield per mu can reach 1000-1200 catties, and can grow all year round, the growth cycle is still short, mature in March, and harvest three times a year. to four rounds.
It can be said that the wheat beans grown on these six plots of land in Gumi's territory are enough to feed everyone in their entire territory now.
Of course, the premise is that the number of people in the territory will not increase.
However this is not possible.
That's why Gu Mi only issued a task before to encourage the residents to actively reclaim their farmland, because she knew that such things as food would only become more and more scarce in the future, so when there is still a chance to collect food now, it is best to A little more, a little more.
in case the emergency.
"Huhu..." The
old village chief was panting, exhaling two white mists, and was struggling to control two green vines growing from seeds that fell on the snow surface, making them move up the wooden stakes Climb, come to the connection and act as a rope, tying up several crisscross sections of wood.
The weather is too cold to be friendly to any plants except ice and snow.
The old village chief could clearly feel that in this climate, it was much more laborious than usual to use the talent of the forest fairy to control the vines.
Otherwise he wouldn't be so tired.
Taking another breath, the old village chief didn't pay attention and let go of the control of the vines.
Suddenly, a connection that was not yet firmly tied came loose, and the several sections of wood were about to collapse, and the direction of the fall was just above the head of the old village chief.
If this is smashed, he may not die or be seriously injured!
Eyes wide open in horror, the old village chief wanted to hide, but he found that his old and weak body was not flexible enough to avoid it at all.
In the end, the only thing he could do was cover his head with his arms, hoping that there would be cushioning from his arms so that he wouldn't get hurt too badly.
...
no movement.
After waiting for a while, he couldn't wait for the pain to subside, and he didn't hear the sound of wood falling to the ground. The old village chief couldn't help but move his arms in doubt, and saw a furry and majestic back in front of him.
At first glance, it looks like a huge black bear.
However, if you look closely, you can still make out that this is a man in a bear's skin.
Seemingly aware of his gaze, the bearskin man turned his head and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, village chief."
"Oh, it's Avery, I almost didn't recognize you dressed like this. ." As soon as he heard this voice, the old village chief recognized the identity of the person, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "How did you come out?"
"I came out with Lord Lord, she was there."
Avery pointed, The old village chief followed and looked over, and saw Gu Mi alone carrying a large pile of wooden stakes with sharpened bottoms, one hole after another, like planting rice seedlings, and easily put every wooden stake into place. Go deep into the corresponding ground, to ensure that no matter how big the wind and snow can't blow it down.
She silently repeated the actions of the old village chief and others just now, and soon set up a warm shed, and then started to build the next one.
The area of the greenhouse is not large, and a place can only cover about a piece of land at most, so at least six greenhouses are needed.
Everyone worked together to build all the greenhouses in no time.
"There should be nothing wrong here, everyone hurry up and hide from the snow, don't catch the cold." The whistling of the wind and snow was getting louder and louder. In order for everyone to hear his words, Gu Mi had to shout loudly.
Tu Xiaosi's face was almost frozen from the wind and snow, and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod his head vigorously, and then supported the old village chief and walked towards the direction of the residence where they lived.
However, just after walking far, Gu Mi was keenly aware of something, and her expression changed: "Be careful!"
Before she finished speaking, she was already slashing forward with a knife.
The icy blood-colored sword qi turned into a half-moon-shaped qi blade, smashing through the flying snow all the way, and immediately came behind the old village chief to shoot down a mysterious guy who was intending to sneak attack for him.
"Squeak-!" The
shrill scream resounded through the sky, and was quickly covered up by the whistling sound of the wind and snow, and not even the slightest trace was left.
There is really no trace.
in a physical sense.
Gu Mi was sure that her knife had indeed hurt the other party, but there was not a drop of blood left on the spot, not even a hair.
"What's that?"
Rabbit Xiaosi took a moment to react before he reacted, and hurriedly took an offensive posture and stood in front of the old village chief vigilantly.
"It's an element elf, but I don't know if it's an ice element or a snow element, or maybe it's a wind element."
Thanks to his rich combat experience in his previous life, Gu Mi has a good understanding of his former opponents, including various element elves. .
Elemental elves are the general term for elves born from various natural elements, but in a strict sense, they are not regarded as high-intelligence races equal to humans or elves, but are classified into the wave of monsters.
The proud elves do not recognize the identity of the element elves.
Even think of them as an animal with their namesake.
The reason is naturally because these elemental elves generally have low intelligence, some of which are even worse than some smart beasts, and are born with bad temperament and bloodthirsty. Like a cat catching a mouse, playing with its prey.
Its cruel and vicious behavior, not to mention the peace-loving elves, even the human race orc race and other races feel disgusted and disgusted by it.
Sometimes Gu Mi thinks that these elemental elves are not the mutants of the zombies in the doomsday movies she has seen before. The only difference is that they only know how to kill, but not to eat.
It should be said that the body composition and power of the elemental elves are all derived from the elements of nature. In a sense, they are regarded as creatures that are aggregated by a single elemental energy body, so they do not need to eat.
It is precisely because of this that the element elves will not leave any traces if they are injured, as long as they do not die.
Because the injured place has been turned into an element and returned to nature.
Elemental elves can also supplement themselves by absorbing the elemental power in nature that is consistent with their own attributes.
Based on this, Gu Mi could easily guess the identity of the attacker.
Unfortunately, guessing is useless.
The opponent's speed was too fast, and under the cover of the heavy snow that was gradually evolving into a blizzard, he kept strutting back and forth in Gu Mi's territory, extremely arrogant, but no one could get it.
Just a few back and forth.
Someone on Gu Mi's side was injured and saw blood.
