Chapter Twenty Arrangements for Provisions and Fodder

  Then Lin Feng asked Zhao Lao and the others, "Has anything important happened here in the past two days? I see that this place has been basically built."

  Mr. Li nodded and said, "Nothing big happened, it's still relatively stable, but someone found large wild animal footprints not far away, I estimate the den is not too far from here either. The main thing is that we haven't had time to discuss this yet, you just happened to come back, what do you think?"

  After listening, Lin Feng lowered his head, tapping his index finger on the stone slab, and said after a moment of consideration: "For now, let's not provoke them, one less thing is better than one more. Here's what we'll do, starting tomorrow, we'll encircle the surroundings of our residence, yeah... build a two-meter high fence around it! The top must be sharpened, and the bottom must be at least one meter deep into the ground. We'll also dig a moat outside that's at least half a meter wide, leaving two gates, and we'll also build two sturdy wooden doors!"

  After finishing, Lin Feng took out my cigarette case and looked at it. There were only nine cigarettes left inside. Lin Feng took out the Zippo lighter he had brought with him and lit a cigarette. As for the disposable lighter he had also brought, he kept it for future use, who knows what might come in handy! Anyway, anything that comes to this place in the 21st century will have an unexpected use.

  Lin Feng took a drag on his cigarette, thought for a moment and said to Zhou Chen: "Tomorrow, first transport the grain, this matter is handed over to you, tomorrow must bring back all the grain within one day." At this point, Old Zhao interrupted: "Little Feng, at our westernmost place, there is a cave, which is not small inside, and it's very safe. I think it's more suitable to transport the grain up and put it in there, just inside is quite humid, need to burn fire for a long time to dry it out, otherwise all the grain will go bad."

  "Alright, let's do it! Let's arrange for a few people to go in and start a fire to rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, the grain will be transported up, and if we don't dry it out in advance, we'll have to trouble ourselves again tomorrow." Lin Feng nodded in agreement after hearing Zhao Lao's words, then continued: "Divide the teams into shifts to take care of the grain problem, switching every week. Every half month, find a good day for everyone to move the grain out and dry it properly. Also, I have some silver here, tomorrow I'll let Xiao Hua bring it to you, arrange for someone to go down the mountain to buy some vegetable seeds, salt, and other things!"

  After finishing speaking, Lin Feng threw away the last cigarette and said to Zhou Chen: "Tomorrow you bring Xiao Huan, remember, tomorrow must finish all the food, you also heard that there are large wild beasts nearby. After finishing the food, we need to hurry up and fix the fence and gate to be safe."

  "Alright, I know." Zhou Chen nodded in response. Mao Hao also nodded on the side.

  "Also, starting tomorrow, those who can't go to transport grain will begin digging trenches around our perimeter. The shallower the better, at least one and a half meters deep. The deeper the safer we are. It should be at least one and a half meters wide, but the bottom should be two meters wide, with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and the walls should be sloping, you understand? After everything is done, we will also cover it with branches and leaves to make it a trap. If it's not our internal personnel, they will definitely fall down. As for the trap, we have Master Li, an expert in this field! Haha..."

  Three old men nodded in unison, Lin Feng thought it was almost over and stood up saying: "If there's nothing else, everyone can disperse, I'm tired too. Old Zhao, remember to send someone to guard the mountain cave tonight!"

  Several people also stood up, and Old Zhao nodded: "I know, don't worry, I'll take care of it!" The others also nodded in agreement.

  "Alright, I'm off first then!" Lin Feng waved his hand and led the way out of their seats. Everyone else dispersed afterwards.

  Back in the house, Lin Feng directly lay down on it and closed his eyes to think about the problem again. From being muddled to coming to this place, from being muddled to knowing these people, and then escaping, saving people, all sorts of things happened. I was thinking that if it were the 21st century, probably a lifetime wouldn't be enough to encounter such things, but here in just three days, I've encountered them all.

  Also encountered the most famous small cavalry charge of the Tang Dynasty's Divine Strategy Army, especially that kind of fighting power that can hold off ten with one, and the group charging force. It was really shocking! Also saw the real cold weapon era war, although it was just a small battle of only a few hundred people. But it really made this person who likes cold weapon warfare boil with excitement.

  It's only been three days since I arrived here, but Lin Feng has already discovered that my subconscious mind has started to like this place and slowly accept it. Because I haven't rejected or hated this life, on the contrary, I've somewhat enjoyed it... Just thinking about those cavalry battles makes my blood boil, as if I were one of them.

  Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt someone beside him. Lin Feng immediately jumped up from the bed and his right hand instinctively pulled out a dagger from his calf. However, after seeing who it was, he let out a sigh of relief and put the dagger back. He then sat down on the edge of the bed: "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping? Aren't you tired?"

  Xiao Yan sat down beside Lin Feng and looked at him, saying: "Feng Ge, you're finally back. You don't know how worried I've been about you these past two days since you left the mountain. I was afraid you'd get hurt again..." As she spoke, her voice became choked with emotion...

  Lin Feng sighed, stood up and patted her head, saying: "Silly girl, I'm back now, aren't I? Don't think about it anymore, it's all in the past. Alright, if you're not tired, come out with me for a walk."

  Xiao Yan also stood up and said: "Well, let's go out for a walk, it's not too late yet!"

  They strolled to a small forest about five or six miles away from their camp, where they also fetched water. There was a small stream here, and the mountain spring water flowed down the mountain from here, which is considered midstream.

  They found a large stone to sit on, Lin Feng looked at the stream, Xiao Yan looked at the sky, and they were all silent.

  It feels quite boring and embarrassing, Lin Feng said to Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yan, I'll show you something new. Don't be surprised, and don't tell anyone, including your dad. Only you can know, okay?"

  Xiao Yan turned her head and looked at Lin Feng, her big eyes sparkling as she nodded: "En, I promise you! Let me see what it is quickly?"

  Lin Feng took out the two mobile phones from his waist, then took out a domestic solar-powered phone. As for the genuine domestic Chinese mobile phone, he put it away. In this era, it's impossible to charge, so let's use a shanzhai machine that uses solar energy. At least you don't have to worry about running out of power! He turned on the phone, and Xiao Xian was startled by the sudden bright light when the phone started up, grabbing Lin Feng's arm and leaning back. Lin Feng turned his head to look at her with a smile: "It's okay, don't be afraid, this thing is very fun!"
