Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Chapter 130. The locust plague is coming

After the Little Iron Beast recognized its master, it immediately had a spiritual connection with Zhang He, and even became dependent on Zhang He.

I gave him a bath just now, and now he is held in Zhang He's arms, and Zhang Yuan is beside me kneading the little iron beast's head.

Brother, is the little food iron beast hungry? Let me go get him a bowl of rice, okay?

Zhang He thought for a while, and he didn't quite know how to feed him.

This guy was supposed to be a carnivore, but I don't know if it was because he was too lazy, or because of a sudden compassion, he changed it to a vegetarian.

There are also bamboo forests in Heishui Town, but there are no bamboo shoots in this season. Looking at the small teeth of the little iron beast, it doesn't look like it can bite bamboo.

Now he doesn't know whether to feed vegetarian or meat, but considering that meat is too expensive, he can try feeding some rice.

Well, go and make a bowl of rice to try.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan let go of her little feet and ran to the kitchen.

After a while, the little girl held a small bowl of rice with both hands, and behind her was a cook who was chasing after her because she was not at ease.

Little iron beast, eat quickly, there is still meat in it!

Zhang Yuan put the small bowl in front of the mouth of the little food iron beast. On top of the bowl of rice, she specially put two pieces of fatty braised pork, one of which had a small tooth.

The little iron food beast looked left and right at the rice in the bowl. It was not in his recipe, and he didn't know if it could be eaten.

But his nose is much more sensitive than a dog's, and he has already smelled a very bear-attracting scent.

The little iron-eating beast tried to put its mouth into the bowl, picked up a mouthful of rice and meat, chewed it a few times, and felt that the taste was not bad.

This bowl of rice and braised pork was quickly eaten up by the little iron beast.

It seems that this little iron-eating beast is not very picky about food, as long as it can eat, it will be easy to feed.

Zhang Yuan put his arms around the neck of the little iron-eating beast, rubbing their heads together, looking very harmonious.

Brother, do you think we should name the little iron-eating beast?

Zhang He looked at the man and the bear,

Think for a while.

Look, your name is Yuanyuan. From now on, the little iron-eating beast will be called Gungun. How about calling the two of you Yuanyuan Gungun together?

Okay! Okay! Go away...

Children are easy to fool, and immediately agreed to the name.

The two teased rolling in the courtyard for a while, when Wei Peng and Ma Gan came in at the same time.

Young Master, the caravan captured a total of 100 zombies during this trip, and 85 of them have turned into white zombies.

In addition, the caravan also hunted down five monsters, one of which was a monster pig, one monster wolf, and three monster rats.

In this caravan, eight people were injured and three died.

Ma Gan made a statistics of the gains and losses of this trip, recorded it in a notebook, and handed it to Zhang He for review.

Zhang He took a look and found that the overall performance of the caravan was not bad.

The players who were killed and injured in battle will be paid pensions according to the standard.

The skins of these five monsters were peeled off, and the rest of the monster meat was given to each of the guards for a catty, and the rest was given to all the team members for extra meals.

The monster skin can be kept for making leather armor in the future, which not only keeps warm, but also has good defense.

The flesh and blood of monsters contain rich spiritual power and blood energy, which is of great benefit to both warriors and immortals.

This kind of flesh and blood can be sold at a very good price in the Xiuxian Bazaar, but Zhang He does not lack these few spirit stones now, and the improvement of the strength of the guards is also good for him.

Wei Peng, organize craftsmen, and then build some zombie water trucks, and place them in places where water is inconvenient.

In addition, you find a few carpenters with better skills to design a vehicle that can be pulled by zombies.

There are also more than a dozen horse-drawn carts and ox carts in Heishui Town, but horses and cattle are more expensive, and the work is not as hard as zombies.

Since there are such good alternatives to zombies, why not use zombies?

After Wei Peng took the order, after more than ten days, he finally made the first sample.

In fact, the style is similar to that of an ox cart, except that some details such as dimensions and specifications have been adjusted a little.

In addition, a small single room is separated by wooden boards in front, and zombies can be placed in it. Three directions are blocked by wooden boards, leaving only the front empty, and a handful of dead grass stained with blood can be hung to attract zombies.

Zhang He tried to push it back and forth a few times. The carpenters in the town were very rough and the car was relatively heavy.

I feel that the wooden wheels are not very round, especially without bearings, and they are creaking when they turn. Such friction is laborious and easy to damage.

So he found Blacksmith Niu again, and the two discussed for a long time, tossing in the blacksmith's shop for several days, and finally made a bearing sample.

This bearing is relatively large, with a diameter of more than ten centimeters. With the materials and tools they have now, the smaller the bearing, the more difficult it is to make.

The two iron rings and beads that make up the bearing are cast directly from molten iron, then polished and smoothed before assembly.

Grease is poured into the bearing, and it turns quickly with a flick of the hand.

After making the first bearing sample, Zhang He arranged for blacksmith Niu to continue to make dozens more.

After the first car with bearings installed, the car body remained the same as before, but it was extremely easy to pull, and it could be pulled and run by manpower.

In this way, the load capacity of the modified zombie vehicle is greatly improved, and it is more durable.

The disadvantage of this kind of zombie car is that the wooden wheels are not easy to use, and Zhang He doesn't have a particularly good modification plan at present, so it can only be temporarily.

After the first sample was ready, Zhang He asked Wei Peng to organize manpower and make more than 20 zombie cars. It will be much more convenient to organize caravans for long-distance transportation in the future.

At the same time, dozens of zombie-powered large water trucks have also been built, and they have all been installed in some places where it is difficult to get water.

The drought continued during this period, and the water level of the Heishui River dropped a lot. Wei Peng organized manpower to pour a large amount of earth and rocks into the Heishui River near the diversion canal to raise the water level.

I heard that most of the crops in other villages and towns have died of drought, and the tenants kept watering the fields from the river day and night, but they could only keep a small part of the crops from being drought-killed.

According to the information obtained by Ma Gan and others, the drought has affected the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, the caravan had already found signs of locust plagues in the Sui Kingdom.

At such a time of dire straits, the rulers of the country of Lu are busy fighting for power.

At this time, son Su and son Jian had divided the state of Lu into two, each occupying a territory, and there were often wars between the two sides.

According to the news, Dehua County, where Heishui Town is located, belongs to the sphere of influence of Young Master Su, but the location is relatively remote and has not been affected yet.

On this day, three fast horses galloped into Heishui Town from outside the town.

The guards on horseback dismounted and went straight to the town hall.

It's not good, the plague of locusts is coming!

The three were in charge of different directions, and unexpectedly found traces of the locust plague at the same time. Large areas of locusts had already appeared in the west, north, and northwest of Heishui Town.

At present, these locust swarms are still more than 50 miles away from Heishui Town.

Quick! Send all the chickens and ducks in the farms to the borders in these three directions.

When Wei Peng got the news, he immediately dispatched an army of chickens and ducks, but his heart was still a little bit drummed, and he didn't know what the effect of Zhang He's preparation would be.

At the same time, arrange people to convey the news, so that the tenants in each village can prepare tools and be ready to deal with the locust plague at any time.

You can bang pots and pans to make noise to scare off locusts, or you can swipe with a long stick to drive them away.
