Chương 47: Chapter 047
After confirming that the storage could be put into use, the villagers were filled with joy.
With the completion of the storage, they could now begin storing food.
Each household actively went into the mountains to collect food and followed Yu Su's instructions to store it in the storage.
After a few days, when they checked the stored food in the storage and found it still fresh, their enthusiasm soared.
The entire village was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Of course, this didn't include Yu Da's family of three.
They didn't have a storage.
Yu Da couldn't bring himself to register with Yu Su, and the three excavation teams naturally bypassed their house.
Now, their home became the only one in the village without a storage.
At first, they didn't think it was a big deal. In previous years, they had no storage and still managed to get through winter safely.
However, when other families' storages were completed and filled with plenty of food, Yu Da's family became envious.
Unable to bear it any longer, Yashan Shi went to the village chief, hoping he could persuade Yu Feng's team to dig a storage for her family.
The village chief responded, "Yuda, the skill of digging storages was taught by Yu Su. It's useless to come to me for help."
Yashan Shi awkwardly smiled, "But you're the village chief. As long as you give the order, Yu Feng's team will have to agree."
She thought well. Could Yu Su be larger than the village chief?
As long as the village chief was willing to nod, Yu Feng's team would have to dig a storage for her.
However, the village chief shook his head, "I said I can't decide on this matter. If you genuinely want a storage, go find Yu Su."
Yashan Shi's expression turned unpleasant, "Village chief, you know very well that Yu Su doesn't like us."
The village chief, not mincing words, laughed, "You also know that Yu Su doesn't like you? If I were you, I'd kneel in front of Yu Su and sincerely beg for his forgiveness, instead of remaining unrepentant like you."
Yashan Shi had nothing to say. She wasn't willing to kneel in front of Yu Su to beg for forgiveness.
Seeing that she still couldn't grasp the reality, the village chief thought she was beyond help and didn't bother with her anymore.
Yashan Shi returned home unhappily.
Yu Da sat at home in a gloomy mood. Seeing Yashan Shi return with a stern face, he knew she had hit a wall with the village chief.
"The village chief is too heartless, actually asking us to kneel and beg Yu Su. Ridiculous!" Yashan Shi cursed.
Yu Da frowned, "Did the village chief really say that?"
"That's exactly what he said. That old guy is too biased!"
"In that case, let's not dig. We can survive without a storage."
Yu Da's meaning was clear, and Yashan Shi understood. However, watching other households storing plenty of food while their home had nothing, she couldn't bear the feeling.

While everyone was storing food in the storage, Yu Su was treating Jian Yunchuan's leg.
"Your leg needs to be broken again and reset," Yu Su informed Jian Yunchuan.
Breaking and resetting the leg could be very painful, and Yu Su was concerned that Jian Yunchuan might not be able to handle it.
However, Jian Yunchuan nodded without any hesitation, "Then break it."
# Jian Yunchuan heard that Yu Su's medical skills are even more powerful than the witch doctor's, and he believes in Yu Su.
Yu Su had Luyan prepare the necessary items, touched the previously improperly set broken leg of Jian Yunchuan, and said to him, "Bite on a piece of wood. If it hurts, bite down."
Jian Yunchuan replied, "No need. I've been injured many times guarding the Great Witch before, and I always endured it."
Seeing his determination, Yu Su didn't insist further.
"Let's begin."
Yu Su proceeded to re-break Jian Yunchuan's leg.
Jian Yunchuan grunted in pain, sweating profusely, but remarkably, he didn't utter a single scream.
Yu Su then proceeded to re-set the bones, bandaging them properly and applying splints.
Reconnecting the broken bones was no small task, but guided by the comprehensive elf's scan, Yu Su completed the process.
"All done. Now, it's time to take medicine and rest in bed on schedule," Yu Su wiped off sweat.
The conditions here were rudimentary, lacking plaster and wheelchairs. To ensure Jian Yunchuan's leg healed properly, he needed to rest in bed.
"Brother, when will Dad's leg be better?" Yu Zhou turned to ask Yu Su.
"A hundred days for bones and tendons to heal. It won't be quick, but with good rest, it won't be a big problem," Yu Su answered.
Jian Yunchuan rubbed his younger son's head, "Once Dad's leg is better, I'll take you hunting."
"Really?" Yu Zhou's eyes lit up.
"Of course, Dad never lies," Jian Yunchuan said.
Successfully reconnecting Jian Yunchuan's leg, Yu Su also relieved a burden in his heart.
Now, it was time for him to go into the mountains to gather food and fill the storage.
He conveniently asked Yu Ji and Yu Kui to accompany Jian Yunchuan, while he and Lu Yan ventured into the mountains.
"Yu Su, going into the mountains."
"Yu Su, what are you looking for? Let me help you gather."
"Lord Yu Su..."
As Yu Su and Lu Yan entered the mountains, they encountered many villagers collecting winter food. Everyone greeted him warmly, some even addressing him as Lord Yu Su.
Despite his insistence not to be addressed as a lord, the villagers continued out of goodwill.
Seeing the respect Yu Su received, Lu Yan's eyes sparkled even more.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Yu Su noticed Lu Yan's admiring gaze and couldn't always understand what he was thinking.
"Looking at you, impressive," Lu Yan replied.
Lu Yan enjoyed seeing Yu Su being respected or, more accurately, believed that Yu Su should be treated this way.
Yu Su: "..."
He was indeed impressive, and this guy, Lu Yan, wasn't just realizing it today.
Avoiding the villagers gathering food, Yu Su and Lu Yan walked deeper into the mountains.
On the way, they encountered Yu Feng and others hunting with Xin Dong and his group.
Xin Dong and his group, experienced hunters, enhanced the hunting team significantly. However, they still remembered their status as slaves. After each hunt, they presented the prey to Yu Su for inspection. Once Yu Su distributed it, they took their share.
Seeing Yu Su and Lu Yan entering the mountains, they all came and knelt down in salute.
"Master."
"Master, are you going hunting? Shall we follow?"
Yu Su told them to rise, saying, "Continue hunting with Uncle Feng. No need to follow me."
Xin Dong nodded and led the others back to Yu Feng's team.
While leaving, Xin Dong glanced back at Yu Su and Lu Yan, contemplating many thoughts.
Initially, he thought Yu Su would treat them like other village people, making them slaves, but Yu Su didn't. He allowed them to live in thatched houses, dig storage, and participate in hunting. Unlike other slaveholders, Yu Su treated them like human beings.
Since the destruction of Ma Village, Xin Dong never thought there would be a day when they would be treated as humans again. His feelings were complex, but overall, he was grateful to Yu Su.
---
Yu Su and Lu Yan gathered a lot of things in the mountains, storing everything in the storage. Meanwhile, Xin Dong's group had also hunted many fat and delicious beasts. Yu Su decided to air-dry some of the meat and smoke the rest, creating dried and smoked meat.
When Yu Feng and others saw Yu Su hanging the meat, they became curious and asked why.
"This is the method I mentioned earlier for storing meat. Meat dried and smoked can be stored for a long time," Yu Su explained.
After hearing this, Yu Feng's group followed suit.
Word quickly spread in the village, and soon, it became a trend to make dried and smoked meat. Almost every household hung up pieces of meat.
Thanks to the bountiful recent harvests of the hunting team, nearly every family could now enjoy meat.
"I've been the village chief for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen our village so prosperous," the village chief remarked, looking at the meat hanging in every house, unable to hide his amazement.
His wife, Hong Shan, said, "All thanks to Yu Su."
The village chief nodded, having a premonition that the future of Yu Village would only get better.
The people of Yu Village enthusiastically prepared for the winter with an abundance of food.
Once the storage was full, and the dried and smoked meat was ready, the first cold wind of winter arrived in Yu Village.
Overnight, many leaves turned yellow, and the temperature plummeted, marking the abrupt transition to winter.
[The climate in the Savage Wilderness is variable, and early onset of severe winter is not uncommon. Historical records indicate that there have been instances of prolonged winters lasting up to half a year, resulting in the starvation of countless creatures.] The comprehensive elf informed Yu Su.
Yu Su frowned; such extreme weather was challenging for ordinary people.
Moreover, this winter was expected to be long, and he was concerned about its impact on Jian Yunchuan's leg recovery.
After careful consideration, he decided to build a kang (heated bed).
Deciding on this, he asked the comprehensive elf to find information on building an earth kang and started studying.
"What's this?" Lu Yan asked when he saw Yu Su drawing something incomprehensible on the ground.
Lu Yan had opened the door, letting in the cold wind when he entered.
Yu Su shivered, feeling the need for a heated bed to endure this cold. Without waiting for snowfall, the temperature was already unbearable.
He explained, "This is a kang. With it, we can keep warm in winter."
Given the limited current technology, the construction method had to be simplified and practical.
While drawing, Yu Su explained the concept to Lu Yan.
Sitting on the bed, Jian Yunchuan also listened attentively.
Listening to the explanation, Jian Yunchuan was surprised. This method seemed effective. How did Little Su come up with it?
Lu Yan, with a high level of comprehension, also understood Yu Su's intention.
After squatting down to carefully examine the drawing, he said to Yu Su, "I'll do it."
Seeing his confident expression, Yu Su wondered if he truly understood or was just saying he would
do it.
