Wolf King

Chapter 50 The Apple of Eden

In late autumn on the grassland, the temperature at night can drop below zero. If you sleep in the wild, even if you are wrapped in thick fur like a rice dumpling, you will have a runny nose, a sore throat, and a proper cold overnight.

In this weather, if you sleep on a warm kang wrapped in a thick blanket, it will be more comfortable... The cold-resistant snow werewolf can even take off his shorts, and lay bare buttocks on straw and on the bed Rolling on the heated kang covered with rattan and grass mats and a layer of animal skins, the blanket in his arms was used to cover his face, and his arms and lower body were completely naked to dry outside.

Xiao Yun turned over, and when he opened his eyes, what he saw was a sleeping bird with its horns stretched out... Immediately, his whole body became refreshed.

Sitting up, he pushed the bull's horns towards Ah Shan vigorously, lifted the blanket, went down to the kang, and added some coal to the stove.The stove mouth was facing the door, and the wooden door that was not too tightly pieced together immediately poured in a gust of cold wind, which made Xiao Yun's butt cool.

Burning coal will inevitably have an unpleasant smell of soot, and carbon monoxide poisoning must be prevented. The newly built collective bedrooms and family houses have vents at the beams, and the stoves should face the door as much as possible.Well, now it seems that this door is really useless. In winter, it is not allowed to be covered with animal skins.

The night was deep, the autumn was as cool as water, the moon and stars were scarce, Xiao Yun stood at the door in a daze for a while, moved the wooden door, slowly returned to the kang, lay down and stared at the beam above his head.

stare.

eye.

... silently turned over.

The Snow Werewolf didn't have the habit of lighting, so the room was pitch black, only the moonlight coming in from the vent and the firelight from the stove added a little light to the room; Similarly, you can see things with subtle light, which is convenient, but you can see the details of things you don’t want to see. He can see the hair on the horns and balls clearly. This is very eye-catching... …

Sitting up silently, he pulled off the blanket covering his horn-pasted face to cover his lower body, and then he didn't want to lie down anymore, sitting cross-legged in the dark alone, thinking about life with his arms in his hands.The so-called power of habit is powerful. Xiao Yun, who often gets up in the middle of the night to urge others to go to work, is now suffering from the habit. He is awakened by his biological clock when it is o'clock...

The high-intensity construction work of the previous one and a half months made it all fall down and there was only one breath left. Now that everyone lives in a warm concrete house with no moisture, the breath has been relieved, but the suffocation is also gone. Break up; now continue to force them to maintain the supreme truth that life is equal to work, Xiao Yun feels that even if they are as stupid as horns, they will definitely rebel... He is trying his best to tap everyone's potential in labor, not because he eats too much and sees others too relaxed For things like life and work, you still need to pay attention to the sense of rhythm and relaxation.

"Arrange some low-intensity work for them to rest, relieve the pressure accumulated in front, and then restore the work rhythm." In the darkness, Xiao Yun was expressionless and silently calculated, "Before the relocation of Sal's mushroom house Go and collect the acorns, this time there are too many people, you can try to transplant some oak trees back to plant around. Wool will go back to be in charge of the bean sprouts room, and someone from the cubs will have to take her place, um, let Qingyan come... Hongye will bring the team back Okay, if you teach her again, she should be able to take care of herself, and put some pressure on her later, so she can't grow slower than Mao Mao... Dahe, alas, I don't think it will be able to be trained in a short period of time, and she is still a half-hearted."

If the tribe wants to expand, it is impossible for Xiao Yun to take care of all the affairs up and down by himself forever. He has to train a few assistants to replace him as the new core of a certain direction, so that he can have more time and energy to manage. Take the overall situation and hold the steering wheel for the future development of the tribe.

To be honest, this is a very difficult thing... It is not that Xiao Yun has not experienced the test of building a team framework from scratch and starting from scratch, but the working environment on the grassland is too strange——Xiao Yun is a respectful person for the "mass" He is the most fucked up" person who understands this sentence well enough, he has never met a new employee who is so stupid as a customer, but it is really rare to be like a snow werewolf... Qingyan is so obedient, the rabbit is so well-behaved, goblin How honest, why is this group of people so difficult to deal with!

He has worked so hard to train, brainwash, and subtly influence for almost a year. Among his family members, only Hongye can save Hongye, who obviously has a smart brain. Under Uncle Ku's face is a cute bastard...Talents are withering!

If Mao Mao and the grassroots patriarch hadn't given him a little surprise, he would have almost despaired of the snow werewolf's tomorrow.

Sighing, since he couldn't sleep anyway, Xiao Yun took the cloth roll next to his pillow and spread it out, looking at the densely packed charcoal characters on it. The names of all the snow werewolves were on it, and behind the names were the lengths he wrote. Unequal markings... A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, this principle is universal.

The personnel of the three working teams of Maomao, Dahe, and Hongye are not fixed. During this period of high-intensity labor oppression, Xiao Yun observed the adaptability of the existing first-level labor force, and adjusted and changed jobs at any time according to individual work performance. Post, up to now, Xiao Yun has a rough standard for judging the abilities of all the adult snow werewolves in the tribe.

How many people are hard-working enough to accept repetitive labor in the mechanical department, how many people are a little bit flexible, how many people are not able to withstand stress, and how many people will give up treatment if the labor intensity exceeds a certain level... These Xiao Yun We must do it roughly.For a small team in the initial stage, how well the manager understands his team and whether he knows the upper limit of his team's ability determines the lower limit of the team's development--those who say the upper limit of team development are either kidding or ridiculous MLM, through the ages, if the leader of any team is an idealist (the vernacular is that there is no way to tell the truth), it is hard to say whether the team is cheated or not, and the cheating team must be a bloody pit...

As a pragmatist, Xiao Yun certainly wouldn't think about fighting for hegemony on the grasslands and sweeping the world without being forced to come up. The small goal he set for himself was to feed all the snow werewolves... Uh, actually, this goal is a bit unreasonable , but there is always the possibility of realizing it, and the possibility is still very high.Being a person and doing things is like going up stairs. You have to climb the first step before you can reach the second step.

After calculating the human resources of the tribe, Xiao Yun got off the kang, put on his shoes and walked out, heading for the warehouse area that stood quietly in the dark.

The sixteen warehouses in the warehouse area are neatly arranged in four rows. Because there is no steel bar, the warehouse cannot be built very large. The capacity of each warehouse is about three to four containers. One warehouse contains soybeans, wheat Two warehouses were installed, miscellaneous materials such as salt, dried radish, pickled vegetables, animal skins, pottery, etc. took up a sundry warehouse, and the rest of the warehouses were filled with alfalfa.

After entering the sundries warehouse to make a brief inventory, Xiao Yun unexpectedly discovered... what the tribe is short of now is the animal skins that are most unlikely to be in short supply.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yun was not too surprised. He didn't hunt much this year. The animal skins and sheepskins he saved were used up to make leather bags and clothes. The last remaining sheets have to be used as the roof of the greenhouse--a movable roof with wooden sticks tied to reed poles and covered with animal skins. After all, there is no plastic film available... Vegetables in the greenhouse It needs sunshine.

"It seems that it's time to let the warriors out for a walk... Uh, I'm patrolling and hunting, and I'm also looking for those gray dwarves along the way."

After all, the gray dwarves who took away two hundred rams have been looking for iron ore for almost five months, and the sheep they took away for food should not be able to last for so long... I want to look for ore on the vast prairie It's not an easy task either, they don't have any scientific equipment to use yet, it's all due to the talent of the dwarves in finding mineral veins, and they haven't returned for a long time, either they didn't find it and were embarrassed to meet the snow werewolf, or they encountered an accident.

The possibility of the latter is unlikely, Xiao Yun believes that those cautious gray dwarves will not run away to dangerous places, and there are no cat or tiger tribes around here - the nearest cat tribe to their tribe is [-] kilometers away , the upper reaches of the river of the earth, the Tiger Clan is almost as far away as the Tauren tribe that I have been to before, and it is impossible for the gray dwarves to go that far.

When it was dawn, although he didn't make the brain-piercing sound, everyone woke up one after another under the influence of inertia... The hardworking and virtuous rabbit man even got up to cook soup, wash vegetables and make noodles-cook noodles The flour of the soup does not need to be kneaded, just add water to make a paste, and then cut it into pieces with a thin weapon like making noodle, put it in the pot and cook it.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the staff gathered in the open area in front of the dormitory to have breakfast, Xiao Yun hurriedly arranged today's work—first grabbed Dahe's shoulders, and said seriously, "Dahe, do you want to be the Dahe in the tribe?" kitchen?"

Xiao Yun had already given up on training this guy into a qualified assistant, so he simply used it as a waste.

Before Dahe could respond, the grassroots patriarch next to him, who was slurping noodle soup, showed a look of surprise...

"...Huh?" Dahe showed a pure expression that seemed incomprehensible.

Xiao Yun thought "hehe", he has already seen through this guy's fault of trying to play dumb for things he doesn't want to do!It's useless to be cute!

"Cooking food for everyone is actually not that hard. I can give you the horns, and you can also find two cubs to help you, such as Azi and Ershui who play well with you. It's much easier for the four of you to do it Well." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "I don't have much time now, when it snows, I have more time, and I can teach you how to cook a lot of delicious things, you who are in charge of making food can enjoy it first~ "

Dahe was still weighing the pros and cons, the horns came out of nowhere, hugged Dahe's shoulders intimately, gave Xiao Yun a thumbs up, and showed his big white teeth: "Leave it to us!"

Dahe: "??"

Xiao Yun nodded to Niu Jiao with satisfaction, interest is the best driving force, and letting Niu Jiao work as a cook might be able to develop his frozen brain again.

Then turn around...Look at Qingyan: "Qingyan, the wool is going to take care of the bean sprouts, do you think it's up to you to take the cubs to take care of the sheepfold?"

Qing Yan, who was sipping noodle soup among a pile of snow werewolf cubs, nodded silently.There is nothing wrong with mixing cubs with cubs, and this black panther soldier also looked away.

"If there is more... Dashui!" Xiao Yun looked around and waved at an adult snow werewolf.

This adult snow werewolf showed a very stiff expression.

"Dashui, from today onwards you will lead your work team to dig fermentation tanks behind the warehouse area. Now we are not in a hurry, you can dig slowly, Samana, your people will cooperate with Dashui's work team, Just dig it out within five days, is there any problem?"

The old monk nodded quickly, while Da Shui looked constipated... His original name was Ah Shui, and he had the same name as a cub. It is common for snow werewolves to have the same name, but Ah Yun felt it was difficult to distinguish them, so he changed their names. .

"Qingcao, like Dashui, you should lead your work team first and build a mill. The specifications refer to the bean sprouts house for wool. After you build it, put the stone mill in it."

"Languo, you are the same. Your team is here to level the land in front of us, level the uneven areas, and fill in the potholes."

"The three work teams can go to the forest to drag the acorns after finishing the tasks at hand. Just like last year, we will take the cows to drag the acorns. It will be lighter, and the soldiers will also go together at that time. Before this, we have a long time I'm not going to patrol and hunt anymore, so I'll let the soldiers go for a while... relax for a while, and go to the place that should be patrolled, patriarch, what do you think?"

Patriarch Huoyan's square face was as serious as ever, and after a moment of pondering, he nodded steadily: "That's it."

The soldiers were still surprised that they hadn't heard that they were arranged for their own homes. When they heard that they were actually asked to patrol and hunt, they were suddenly quite excited... Patrolling used to be work, but now, patrolling is really a kind of relaxation!

Qing Yan has no expression on his face, so he, the Black Panther fighter, is only a fighter when he is in a meeting... Really angry!

"Our pottery is still not enough. I want to burn some larger pottery, such as a big vat for pickling Chinese cabbage, and we should add another batch of pottery bowls and plates that are used daily in the tribe." Xiao Yun looked at the two. Patriarch, "The two patriarchs have worked hard a while ago, why don't you burn some pottery with me these few days?"

Huo Yan nodded hurriedly. Burning pottery is much easier and hotter than doing other things, and you can also "collect" the most beautifully fired pottery!

Grassroots was also very excited, she was so curious to death how Ayun made pottery!

This time, the work Xiao Yun arranged was very easy and the time limit was generous. It can be said that everyone was happy. Everyone felt that the noodle soup was sweeter and sweeter. Looking at A Yun, they felt much more pleasing to the eye... Sure enough, A Yun is still good. Great!Not devil teeth at all~

Xiao Yun's smile is very pure, of course I am a good person~

Temporarily stripping off the right to lead the soldiers and letting the adults take care of things is to weaken the existing phenomenon of specialization of soldiers... It will be considered a success when the adult clansmen who have the ability to lead the team can participate in the work meeting. The one with high hopes is Dahe, but this stuff is muddy (no typo) not on the wall, so he had to dig it out separately.

If a group wants to develop, it is definitely unhealthy to use force to determine the right to speak.Although Xiao Yun also felt that Hongye and Maomao were useful talents, when he used and cultivated them, he must separate their personal abilities from their warrior identities.The sooner this kind of thing can be started, the better, he doesn't want to have to learn Zhu Baba Zhao Kuangyin and so on later, it would be too painful.

As for the patriarch... Of course, he has to confess high.Patriarch Huoyan seems to be shrewd but in fact dull, easy to fool, and has been domesticated successfully so far; if she is not patriarch Xiao Yun, the grassroots patriarch, if she is not patriarch Xiao Yun, he will use her as quickly as he cultivated Mao Mao. Now, Xiao Yun has no plans Give up such a rare usable (brained) talent, but she must be thoroughly domesticated before training, otherwise her patriarch status will be a big problem.

Why do you want to say that, because the identity of the patriarch naturally has the right to allocate tribal resources...

Objectively speaking, the snow werewolves under the tribal system do not actually have oppression and power feudalism, but more like a utopian communism-the productivity and production resources of the whole clan are shared, everyone is equal, everyone eats what they have, and everyone eats what they have. Everyone wears it, and it seems to be perfect.

But if you peel off the surface of this seemingly perfect equality, you will find problems... The equality of this tribal system is based on low productivity and difficult living conditions.If the productivity has been improved, improved, and surplus value not required for survival can be produced, then the existence of this surplus value is likely to become the "Eden Apple" that causes the imbalance of the Snow Werewolf equality system.

This is a very cold question, and one that cannot be avoided. Why did the successful rebel groups in Chinese history always fail to harmonize in the later period of Mao?It would be too simple to describe it only as "we can share adversity, but not wealth".

In a word - don't bet on the greed in human nature!Don't think that human nature can be tested!Don't be selfish and think that others are not selfish!

In the eyes of someone like Xiao Yun who practiced "human nature is inherently evil", he was absolutely right to naively think that anyone whose moral level has been tested will never breed greed.So as an adult with a normal IQ, it is the most basic quality to prepare a response plan before problems arise... This is not unfounded worry. The current situation is that the "Eden apple" already exists in the tribe, and there is residual value!

The wealth created by the collective, which exceeds the need for survival, is the surplus value!Those things piled up in the warehouse are the apples that made Adam and Eve fall!

At present, this apple is still very shriveled and not sweet enough, but is Xiao Yun going to bet that this apple will not grow poisonous when it matures?Certainly not.

So it is not easy for Xiao Yun... Everyone in the tribe can be heartless, but he can't. What he has to consider and take into account must always be ahead of the development of the tribe; this leading The degree should not be too advanced, if you take too big a step, you will be pulled to the egg, and you should not be too behind, if you are confused by the problem and then think about the solution, it will not only waste the precious time for the development of the tribe.

Hmm...Thanks to the fact that the people of all races eating breakfast in a bustling manner didn't have mind reading skills, and couldn't see what was going on in A Yun's heart with a calm smile on his face, otherwise the mental stimulation would be light...

When the sixteen snow werewolf warriors came in twos and threes, armed with weapons, and rushed to the vast world outside the tribe, two gray dwarves came out of the forest one after the other in the northwest, at the junction of the grassland and the jungle, with expressions on their faces. He looked around in a panic, before taking a few steps, he hid in the bushes like a frightened bird.

"Huh...huh...we finally escaped, Elba."

The snow werewolf friend, Charles the gray dwarf, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, his slightly childish face was still in shock, mixed with a little joy, and lowered his voice excitedly: "We want, hurry to find our snow werewolf friend ...Only they can help us save our people."

Alba is ten years older than Shire, but because of the special characteristics of gray dwarves, he looks like Shire is about the same age. Unlike Shire, he seems very pessimistic, shook his head, and said in despair: "Snow werewolf Can't help us... Have you forgotten, Ciel, the snow werewolf is a forbidden race, a race that is not favored by magic, they can't help us."

Charles slowly lowered his sweat-wiping hand, and the joy of the rest of his life disappeared from his eyebrows: "Then what should we do, who else can we ask?"

"I don't know... Otherwise, let's go back to the underground world to find the dark elves?" Elba said painfully, "Being a slave to the dark elves can at least save your life, isn't it?"

"No, no, we escaped to the ground after untold hardships." Charles said in surprise.

"What's the use of escaping, the people on the ground still treat us as slaves?" Elba was desperate, "If I had known this, I would not have thought of escaping at the time... At least the most terrifying thing in the underground world is the dark elves, As long as we forge the iron they demand..."

"Calm down, Elba, at least the Snow Werewolf treats us as friends, and they gave us so many sheep."

"So what, Charles, don't forget that the Snow Werewolf also asked us to make iron for them, now it's only you and me how to satisfy the Snow Werewolf's request, maybe they will think that we have cheated them sheep, and failed to do what they promised, they will kill us..."

"Erba, don't you want to save Balu and the others?" Ciel was very angry, and his voice raised a little unconsciously.

The two gray dwarves were frightened. After looking at each other for a few seconds, they jumped out of the bushes and ran towards the grassland at the same time.

The autumn wind rustled the leaves in this area, and the yellowed leaves drifted down with the wind, slowly falling on the short footprints left by the two gray dwarves.

One foot stepped on the ground near the gray dwarf's footprints, and the thick humus layer was stepped on to create a half-finger-deep pit. The insects hidden among the fallen leaves and rotting leaves were startled, twisted their bodies and moved towards the ground in panic. Climb outside.

"Have you escaped here..."

The tracker's eyes fell on the two rows of small footprints, and then moved to the depths of the grassland.
