A group of villagers stared at the thousands of kobold slaves beside the reed pond, their eyes filled with wonder.
Several native dogs in the village barked crazily at these kobold slaves, but after barking for a while, the barking gradually weakened.
The kobold slaves dried their fur in the bonfire and ate another meal of raw cassava before Andrew drove them into the dry reed pond. They pulled out the reeds with their hands and carried them out in bundles.
, these more than a thousand kobold slaves probably suffered a lot under the whips of slave traders. The Nanai indigenous warrior stood on the shore holding a whip and let these kobold slaves work honestly.
The reeds and haystacks were piled up, and the villagers began to take courage and sit in the open space beside the reed pond. They first stripped off the leaves from the dry reeds, and then used stone rollers to crush the reeds. Then some villagers
The villagers who were weaving reed mats began to demonstrate to everyone.
According to the old village chief's request, these mats do not need to be exquisite. It doesn't matter if they are rough, but they must be strong.
Just like magic, the reed mats under the villagers gradually grew longer, and then more and more villagers joined in the process of weaving the mats.
In Wall Village, basically every villager can weave reed mats. Some are more skilled, while others are a little rough. Of course, it doesn't matter even if they are a little bit worse, because these mats were prepared by the old village chief for these kobold slaves.
The old village chief asked people to build a row of low frames with logs next to the yellow sheep pen at the entrance of the village, and then wrapped these woven mats around the frame, and soon a row of temporary work sheds were erected.
In early spring, the night wind in the deserted land was very cold. The old village chief felt that even if these kobolds were slaves, they should live in houses that could protect them from the wind and rain, especially when he saw that some of the kobold slaves were old and young.
Young, although he didn't say anything, he strongly disagreed with Surdak's practice of purchasing slaves.
After the low work shed was built, the old village chief placed the kobold slaves in it. He originally wanted to build a fence around the work shed, but the wood in the village's carpenter's workshop was very limited, and to build a fence, go to Oak Ridge.
Just pick some branches from the forest.
Helensa owns a large area of oak ridges. These oak forests belong to the territory of some nobles in the city of Helensa. The ownership of the output belongs to these nobles. However, as long as you do not steal the acorns produced and do not hunt in the oak forest,
, just simply picking up some dead branches, mushrooms and chestnuts, the noble master would not care about these poor villagers.
A group of women in the village were squatting at the entrance of the village, processing the cassava piled up in a hill. Old Sheila took little Peter and other children to sit under a dead tree at the entrance of the village, quietly watching the women wash the cassava, which is very convenient.
Store it in a cool place and it won't rot even if you keep it for a few weeks.
The women in the village are no strangers to cassava. During the famine years, the villagers had to eat some.
Surdak called over the Nanai native Andrew, the ogre Gulitem, the half-elf archer, and the succubus Aphrodite, and introduced them to the old village chief and the young people in the village.
Andrew was wearing a full metal armor and carrying two large axes behind his back. He was filled with murderous aura. At first glance, he looked like a ferocious warrior who had walked off the battlefield. When the young people in the village faced Andrew, they couldn't even breathe.
Became a little lighter.
The half-elf archer Samira wears salamander leather armor. This tight-fitting leather armor sets off Samira's slender figure extremely gracefully.
Although the half-elf archer did not lift the hood on his head, a group of young people in the village still stared blankly. However, when Surdak introduced to the old village chief that Samira had served in the defense battle of Wozhimara City,
, with the forest bow in his hand, he killed more than fifty hell dogs, and the young people in the village looked at Samira with fear.
The succubus Aphrodite did not take off the black veil on her face. Even if she did not use "charm", her beautiful face still had a fatal attraction for the villagers. In addition, Surdak introduced the succubus Aphrodite.
The origin was a little vague, except that he was a homeless foreigner rescued on the battlefield. The villagers thought that the succubus Aphrodite was just like Andrew, a native of the Maca plane.
Moreover, the custom of this indigenous people is to wear a veil, so no one thought that she could be a succubus.
No one dared to get close to the ogre Gulitem. The ogre Gulitem was sitting on the slope beside the reed pond, looking like a mountain of meat. In order to eliminate the fear in the hearts of the villagers, Gulitem
Temu took the initiative and tried to smile at the villagers, which immediately frightened a group of older children standing nearby to watch the fun and fled in all directions. One little one was so frightened that his legs became weak and he rolled and crawled on his hands and feet.
open.
There is no way, the title of ogre brings great fear to the villagers.
Rita carried a large barrel of grain porridge in front of the ogre. She was wearing an apron and holding a spoon in her other hand. She stood in front of the ogre and raised her red little tongue.
He faced the ogre and said, "Your name is Gulitem?"
The name of the ogre was mentioned by Suldak.
The ogre nodded honestly, his eyes fell on the barrel, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"These are prepared for you. I didn't expect you to be so strong. I only prepared so much chestnut porridge." Rita lifted the barrel with force and handed it to the ogre.
"Thank you!" the ogre Gulitem said angrily.
After saying that, he took the barrel with one hand, held the bottom of the barrel, opened his big mouth, poured a barrel of chestnut porridge into his mouth, and drank it in one breath without even chewing it carefully.
The chestnut porridge entered the ogre's stomach in an instant. The ogre licked his lips with unsatisfied intention, feeling the sweetness from the taste buds on his tongue to his mind. In Rita's dumbfounded eyes, he turned his head with embarrassment.
The bucket was returned to Rita.
Rita looked at Surdak who had completed the task. She held up the hem of her sarong with one hand and walked back to the village entrance with the empty barrel. She squeezed in next to Natasha and worked with the village women to deal with the pile.
Cassava at the entrance of the village.
Selina pulled little Xigna out of the village, but did not get close to Suldak. Selina was the old village chief's assistant and was currently responsible for managing the village's accounts. She sewed a linen cloth for herself.
Her crossbody bag contains a parchment account book, which she carries with her wherever she goes. Now she is counting the cassava at the entrance of the village.
Signa was still hiding in Selena's dress, only occasionally poking her head out cautiously.
Suldak couldn't get away, so he waved to the two of them. In the cold wind, Selina's face bloomed with a smile as bright as a tulip.
Seeing Surdak, Signa had the courage to get out of Selena's skirt.
She first looked at Andrew and Samira, then at the ogre lying on the withered grass slope with his head resting on his arms, and finally landed on the succubus Aphrodite, with some caution in her eyes.
Ruodi also noticed this little girl, but before she could take a few more glances, Suldak picked up little Signa.
He took out a bag of candies from the magic waist bag and gave it to Xigna. He looked at her hair with a bunch of fine braids and her fair little face was rosy. She no longer looked as skinny and pretty as before, so he stretched out his hand and shaved her.
With her small nose, she asked: "How have you been lately?"
Signa pushed away Suldak's hand with dissatisfaction, then gave Suldak a sweet smile, and said solemnly: "Fortunately, Selena is always reluctant to give me meat.
, you have to tell her about this for me, she will listen to you. Also, that big fish tastes great, please bring us more next time."
"Okay, wait until I have time to talk to Selena!" Suldak put Xigna down and asked Samira beside him: "Our little Xigna wants to eat fish, Samira."
La, do you have any smoked fish..."
As a half-elf, Samira prefers the eating habits of elves and likes to eat fish and fruits. Now Samira's wallet is getting bigger and she always carries some apples and smoked fish with her.
However, the half-elf archer showed his disdain unabashedly when Surdak used her dry food to coax the little girl.
…
At night, the kobolds finally settled into a work shed surrounded by reed mats.
This kind of work shed leaks air everywhere, but it is much better than sleeping on the wasteland outside by the reed pond. The work shed is very simple, with only a reed mat blocking the door, and there is no intention of locking it. The person in charge of the night watch is
There were two young men in the village, but they were only guarding the yellow sheep pen at the entrance of the village from a distance. Judging from their intentions, it was more like they were worried that these kobold slaves would steal the village's yellow sheep at night.
The dinner of the kobold slaves is cassava porridge cooked by the women in the village. The cassava is soaked in water for an afternoon and then boiled, so that the paralyzing poison is not so strong.
Surdak's home is not big. He gave up his house to Samira and the succubus Aphrodite. Andrew could only set up a tent in the yard. The ogre originally wanted to live with Surdak.
The cow at home was squeezed in the cowshed and was driven directly to the yard by Suldak. As a non-staff member of the guard camp, the ogre now also has a set of large marching tents set up in the yard.
It takes up almost half of the yard.
Rita and little Peter slept in old Sheila's room.
This was the first time that Suldak walked into Natasha and Rita's room. There were two wooden beds on the left and right sides of the room, covered with cotton sheets. They looked soft and clean. Except for the two beds,
Outside, there was only a wooden table and a cabinet in the room. The furnishings in the room were very simple. He was sitting on the chair beside the table, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance.
The door was pushed open, and Natasha walked in carrying a steaming wooden basin filled with hot water. She placed the wooden basin in front of Suldak's feet, and first carefully used a hot towel to give it to him.
Surdak wiped his face and hands, and then squatted down to unbuckle Surdak's leather boots, took off his boots, and let him soak his feet in the warm water basin.
There was a candle burning on the wooden table. Under the dim light, Natasha lowered her head and carefully washed Suldak's feet. She was only wearing a thin pajamas, with a large area of fair skin exposed at the collar, and her hair was still a little wet.
Yes, it looks like he has just taken a shower, and his body exudes a faint scent of soap locust.
Looking at her fair and smooth face, Suldak leaned down and grabbed Natasha's hand. Natasha's face suddenly turned red, and neither of them spoke.
Suldak lifted her up and put her on the bed, stared at her moist lips, and kissed her gently...
…
The succubus Aphrodite turned over irritably and found that Samira across from her was not sleeping either.
In the dark room, the half-elf archer's eyes were tinged with light red, staring silently at Aphrodite. Aphrodite smiled faintly at the half-elf whose eyes were as sharp as arrows, and discovered that
Samira was unmoved and changed to a more comfortable position, but the wooden bed was too hard, so she pulled the blanket covering her body with her hands.
"...It's been so noisy for so long that no one can sleep!" Aphrodite complained in a low voice.
Even when Samira was sleeping, she looked like a raccoon cat lying in the darkness. She curled up her body and slowly closed her light red eyes.
However, the succubus Aphrodite did not. She whispered to Samira again: "Hey, Samira, are you a little disappointed?"
The moonlight shone into the room through the window. Samira opened her eyes again and asked doubtfully:
"What?"
The succubus Aphrodite sat up from the bed hugging the blanket. Her long black hair hung down like a waterfall. Her body hidden under her pajamas had undulating peaks. With a narrow smile on her slightly gray face, she pointed at the moon outside the window.
Looking down at the slightly desolate ridge, he said to Samira:
"Here, in this desolate land, I didn't expect the captain's house to be so shabby. You don't even need to look to know that the captain doesn't have much money."
She turned her head and stared at Samira's light red eyes, raised her sexy lips slightly, and said to Samira:
"I heard that you followed him because he gave a large sum of money to the orphanage in Wozhimala City? Now, do you regret your decision..."
Samira turned over, facing the ceiling, her eyes fell on the dark roof, and said in a nonchalant tone: "I have received my salary for five years, what is there to be disappointed about? Now I am just fulfilling my promise.
, Andrew is probably in the same situation as me, and besides, do you think the captain’s life will always be so embarrassing?”
"Haha, of course not!" The succubus felt that Samira's gaze became a little sharp and fell on her, making her feel as if the skin on her face had been cut by a knife.
"Then what else is there to say?" Samira closed her eyes again, and the magic-patterned clothing on the bandaged arm hidden under the blanket gradually returned to calm, and said to Aphrodite: "In addition, you will
It's best not to confuse people in front of me, lest one day when you are in a bad mood, I can't help but shoot you with an arrow..."
"The fact that you can tell me this means that you won't do that." After Aphrodite finished speaking, she couldn't help but cast a fearful glance at the forest bow leaning against the wall.
The room became quiet again, and the moonlight was like water.
