Samira was walking by the river. The dense trees almost drooped into the river. This was a low-lying plain and the river flow was extremely slow.
A few older children stood barefooted on the branches of trees extending into the river by the river, holding long-handled harpoons tied with daggers and wooden sticks in their hands, waiting under the shade of the trees for the fish in the river to swim over and eat them.
The frog legs hanging in the river. The fish in the river are not too big, but they are very silly. From time to time, there will be fish coming up to me.
The boy plunged the long-handled harpoon into the river, and there was a "dong" sound on the water.
"Damn it, let it run away again..."
The boy cursed.
Then he pulled the long-handled harpoon out of the river, squatted on the horizontal branch again, and waited quietly for the swimming fish to come up.
There was also a fish basket woven from wicker hanging around his waist. Judging from the heavy weight of the fish basket, there must be fish in it.
Samira stood by the river and said to the boy: "You can't catch many fish like this. Not only is it not accurate enough, but it's also not fast enough, and the range of movement is too large. The moment you make a move, all the fish on the water will be caught."
The reflection has already betrayed you..."
The boy frowned and turned to look at Samira.
When he saw a strange woman who was a few years older than him, she was wearing exquisite black leather armor with magnificent and strange patterns on it, and she was carrying a sharp bow behind her back, she immediately put away her contempt.
But he still said a little unconvinced:
"That's easy for you to say, do you want to try it?"
Her long leather boots stepped firmly on the horizontal branches protruding into the river. Samira stood beside the boy with extremely excellent balance. She lowered her head and looked at the fish swimming in the river before taking out the Sky Strike Bow on her back.
, shook the boy and said:
"I use this..."
The child looked at Samira's sharp bow with envy and said, "Compared with your longbow, mine looks like a toy."
"It's just a toy, why do you say it's like a toy?" Samira looked at the boy with a half-smile.
The boy was so angry that he pouted his mouth and refused to talk to Sami. Mila didn't care anymore and pulled out an arrow and looked towards the river.
"Are you a ranger?"
The boy was once again attracted to the dagger with golden patterns on her thigh, and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right!" Samira didn't say that she was a second-level Hawkeye.
Two water flowers suddenly appeared on the slowly flowing river. The two water flowers appeared almost at the same time in no particular order. It seemed that the shining scales could be clearly seen in the water flowers.
Samira shot out the arrow in her hand almost at the same time like lightning. It was obviously one arrow, but it turned into two arrows when it shot out of her hand.
The arrow split halfway and hit two water splashes a little lower.
The arrow entered the water, bringing up a string of white bubbles. After waiting for a while, the wooden arrow emerged from the water with two small swimming fish, moving slowly along the river towards them.
The boy quickly picked up the fish in the river with the long handle in his hand and asked with surprise:
"You're so cool, how did you do it?"
Samira took the wet arrow, untied the fish from it, threw it into the boy's fish basket, rinsed the arrow in the river water, and then put it back into the arrow pot.
"You just asked me a question, now it's my turn to ask you." Samira said.
The boy said impatiently: "Then ask quickly!"
"How long have you lived here?"
Samira asked the boy with a smile.
"It's been several months..." the boy thought for a moment before saying.
Samira said it was very good, and then said:
"This is archery. It requires continuous practice to achieve such accuracy. First of all, your hands must be very stable. Secondly... let me see... your arm strength is not enough. At the same time, you must practice your
For eyesight, it is not enough to just stare at the fish in the water, but also to observe the birds in the sky..."
Samira asked again: "Where are you from?"
The boy replied without thinking: "The town of Ronhild is just south of this jungle."
"How can I improve my arm strength?" the boy asked seriously.
"Stretch your arms flat like this, and then hang two stones that you can hold on to your wrists. Do this for an hour every morning, and soon your arms will become stronger..."
When Samira was exchanging new tips on archery with the boy, other boys who were fishing by the river also joined in...
…
Surdak walked to the edge of the camp, where a group of women were dealing with a patch of tangled bushes in the forest. After cutting these bushes, they cleared a clearing in the forest.
Several men climbed up to the high crown of the tree with hatchets and cut down some branches and leaves at the top of the crown.
These trees are so dense that no light can penetrate them unless they are cut down.
Once there was enough lighting, the men moved in some logs and started to build a tree house using these trees as the main supports.
They first skillfully propped up three pillars and connected them to the big tree to form a square platform. They laid a layer of thick wooden boards on the platform, and then continued to use some wooden boards to surround the walls.
They are very skilled in building this kind of wooden house. A wooden house has three rooms and a terrace that can overlook the distance. The spiral staircase is also built on the trunk of a big tree, which is strong and beautiful.
When building a roof, the trunks of big trees will also be avoided to prevent the tree house from leaking...
The men are continuing to build wooden houses here, and Suldak is standing in the forest clearing below.
He roughly counted the wooden houses in the camp and found that there were probably more than two hundred wooden houses of this kind in the camp. With the construction speed of these men, they could build two wooden houses in one day, which basically solved the accommodation problem for everyone.
"Why do you still build these treehouses?" Suldak raised his head and asked the man standing on the platform using a claw hammer to hammer nails into the wooden boards.
The man raised his stubby eyebrows, glanced at the woman cleaning the bushes over there, showed a vulgar expression that everyone knew, and said with a smile to Suldak: "Of course, the house is not enough to live in, and no one wants to squeeze in.
In a room."
The partner who was working with him on the other side also put his head in and said:
"And more people will live here."
Suldak continued to ask: "Do you mind if I come up and take a look?"
The man spread his hands and said very casually: "Whatever, if you can bring up the following two pieces of wood, we would be very grateful..."
Surdak lowered his head, put the two pieces of wood on his shoulders, and walked along the spiral staircase to the platform.
The man took the two pieces of wood, looked at Suldak wearing decent leather armor, and asked Surdak: "I seem to have never seen you before..."
"Oh, I came from outside with Edgar." Suldak explained.
After speaking, he stood on the platform of the tree house and looked around. This kind of tree house really has an atmosphere that is very close to nature.
Smelling the aroma of oil among the trees, I seemed to relax a lot.
"Are there frequent wars here?" Surdak asked the man.
"It won't happen here. We usually have to climb out of the mountain to see the Lords' army." The man pointed to the other end of the board and asked Surdak to help him.
Surdak nailed the plank to the trunk of the tree with color and said: "Life here seems to be pretty good..."
Seeing that Surdak was not annoying at all and was willing to help, the man started chatting with him: "It's just that the camp here is relatively primitive and the supplies for daily life are relatively scarce, but things will get better in the future..."
…
A group of rebel fighters traveled down the river, hunting everything they encountered in the jungle along the way.
Birds perched on the treetops, eggs in bird nests, badgers and pigs hiding in the bushes, hedgehogs, snakes hanging on the branches of vines, everything in sight will be caught, and everything that can bleed will be drained from the body.
The blood in my body is hanging around my waist...
There were almost two hundred people in this pair of rebels. They were a hunting team that hunted in the forest and provided food for the entire camp.
Because of their presence, the area within one kilometer around this woodland has more mosquitoes at most, and it is difficult to see even a grouse.
In order to hunt more prey, they had to go further.
Sometimes I go out in the morning and can't return until the evening of the next day.
Siya soaked in the river upstream, diving her head into the water to prevent others from seeing her three-colored fish tail. She waited until the group of hunters had completely moved away from the river before resurfacing.
With such a deep and wide river, she could swim a few laps in the river to stretch her body.
On the other side of the river, there was a low bush full of berries. A group of women squatted in the bush with baskets, picking these red berries.
A large tree that had been deliberately cut down lay across the river. The branches on the crown of the tree had been cleared away. The trunk was covered with a layer of wooden boards. There were handrails on both sides. There was a one-meter-high fence on one side of the root of the tree.
Climbing the ladder, this design concept that combines with nature, makes this wooden bridge full of fun.
After swimming in the river, Siya found a secluded place to go ashore, turned into a human, put on a black robe, her long wet hair spread behind her, and stepped on the slightly damp rotten leaves with her bare feet.
On the soil, the dead branches on the ground were somewhat prickly.
However, she did not wear shoes. The boots were wet and would make a "puff, plop" sound when walking on her feet, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
She held the hem of her robe with one hand and walked barefoot into the women who were stepping on the berries, walking as gracefully as a princess.
Her eyes are so clear that even women would find it difficult to have any hostility towards her.
Crouching next to the bush, she watched a young girl picking berries with a smile on her face. She imitated her movements, picked a few berries from the branches and held them in her hands, and asked softly:
"Are all these fruits edible?"
When the young girl saw Siya, her eyes froze for a moment, then she generously raised the basket in her hand and invited Siya:
"Yeah, would you like some to try?"
"OK!"
Siya took out a berry from the basket and threw it into her mouth. When she bit it, the sour juice overflowed. She closed her eyes and forced herself to swallow it.
As a member of the Janna Sea Clan, Siya could not accept such sour fruit. In contrast, she would rather find something to eat in the river, such as water plants, river mussels, snails, etc. When she fled, she was hungry.
Have eaten them all too.
"You guys have picked so many fruits, can you eat them all?" Siya couldn't help but ask when she saw that the baskets in the hands of all the women were filled with sour berries.
"Of course, there are so many people in the camp. Besides...even if you can't finish it, you can make it into jam." The young girl skillfully threw a berry into her mouth and chewed it with relish.
Then she asked Thea: "Are you new from outside?"
Thea nodded and helped her pick berries, but then she didn't dare to put them in her mouth again.
The young girl looked at Siya's wet long hair that was as green as seaweed with dark purple in it, and said with envy:
"Your hair is so beautiful. I have never seen hair of this color before."
Then she extended the invitation very enthusiastically: "Would you like to join our picking team?"
Siya hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I haven't decided yet whether I want to live here, but I can try to learn to collect these wild fruits now..."
The young girl felt very connected with Siya, as if she had endless things to say.
"what's your name?"
"Thea."
"Did you just come from outside?"
"Well, they came from Takarai Town. They were fighting with the Lord Army in the town. Many houses in the town were destroyed by the Lord Army's catapults. A group of Lord Army wanted to cause trouble for us, so we
He ran out with Edgar." Thea said casually.
"Why are those lord armies like this every time..." Hearing Siya say this, the young girl's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she remembered something sad.
Seeing that the young girl was in agitated mood, Siya carefully put away the siren song.
Without this layer of temptation, the girl calmed down, and she was still a little strange in her heart, how could she become friends with such a beautiful girl.
The women in the camp usually collect berries and wild fruits in the surrounding forest, and also plant some wheat in a forest clearing. However, the places that can be opened into fields in the jungle are very limited. This part of the wheat field alone can make a lot of money.
You can't feed everyone.
They were busy until dusk, before Xi Ya and the women returned to the camp...
…
Surdak was found back to the camp by Edgar at noon.
There are still so many wounded in the camp, and Edgar hopes that Surdak will help treat them again.
Although it was just a tentative request, Surdak unexpectedly agreed readily. Edgar suddenly felt that Surdak, a paladin, had a really good character...
Checking the injuries of these wounded warriors does not need to be as tiring as treating them.
Despite this, Surdak also made some preparations in advance, returned to his wooden house and started the sacrificial ceremony, blessing himself with the 'Eye of Truth'.
At the very least, you need to use the sacred breath to enter the opponent's body, and you can see the injury at a glance.
When other rebel soldiers saw Surdak treating the wounded with such dedication, they realized that this was a knight who had mastered the Holy Light technique, which instantly made Surdak's reputation in the camp greatly increased.
You must know that on the battlefield, everyone will inevitably get injured.
If there is a knight with Holy Light in the camp at any time, the combat effectiveness of the entire team will be significantly improved.
When Suldak walked out of the wounded barracks, he immediately felt that he was being pointed at. Almost everyone knew that he was a knight who knew how to use the Holy Light.
