David was very confident in his judgment, but he didn't know exactly when Will Turner would come back.
After dinner, he didn't just stay there and wait around. After packing up and starting his usual practice and study, David also fell asleep.
Continuously traveling back and forth between Winter Village and Iron Tree Fort, plus thinking about how to develop his village every day, made David feel a little tired, so he slept very deeply that night.
The whole night was silent, and when I opened my eyes it was already bright.
After lying on his bed and staring at the empty roof for a while, David got up, dressed and washed, ready to start a new day.
Pushing open the door, the Winter Village, which was peaceful and peaceful some time ago, is now a bustling scene. The people who followed David to the village yesterday are all busy with various tasks at this time.
The men have chosen the location of their homes and have begun to work together to dig shallow pits as the foundation of the houses; the women have not been idle either, but have used treated wood to build chicken coops and cattle pens, and have traveled back and forth in the village.
With Mark rushing back and forth to answer various questions, and Fording returning with lumber from time to time, the entire Winter Village has become a lively construction site, full of busy workers.
"Are you up?" Laura appeared out of nowhere. Looking at the things she was carrying and the backpack behind her, she must have just come from her own home: "Your breakfast is on the table! It may have been cold.
, warm it up yourself!"
After saying that, he returned to his wooden house, then quickly walked out and walked towards the outside of the village.
"I'm afraid there's nothing you need to do for the time being." Mark thought carefully. As the village chief, David has already done all the things he needs to do most at the moment.
"Does everyone get up so early?"
"Yeah?"
"Yes!" With David's eyes, even sitting here, he can clearly see the smiles on the faces of the farmers, including Samantha, whose name she only learned after asking in person not long ago.
Even Conn's mother looked forward to her new life: "Seeing everyone busy, I also want to find something to do."
After hearing David's inquiry, Laura stopped: "I told you before, right? I have some things to do over there, and I'm getting ready to leave recently. This is the preparation work before departure."
Walking along the road to the west, a little distance away from Mark's wooden house is Addis' wooden house, and some distance away is the large wooden house used as a warehouse.
Tirion Fordring's page is marked with information such as priest of the Church of Holy Light, first generation paladin, one of the most powerful users of Holy Light, Lord of Hearthglen, etc.
After looking at the various projects he had listed, David drew a circle on public toilets, water wells and garbage dumps. These are the next work goals, among which toilets and water wells are the top priority.
Facilities and garbage dumps are relatively simple. You just need to dig a fixed hole for throwing things first.
"Should I get a notebook and write it down?"
"Huh? You're up!" Mark walked around in a circle, mainly to remind these new villagers which areas cannot build houses, because that area has been spotted by him and is planned to be used as farmland for further reclamation and to build wooden houses.
Definitely avoid these places.
By the way, take Squirtle to spray some water on his farmland and check the growth of the crops. After confirming that there is nothing bad, he will go to the Mars base to check the condition of the potatoes there.
Each person occupied a separate page, and then David wrote all the information he could think of on the corresponding page while thinking.
After walking around in a circle, David returned to his wooden house, took out a brand new notebook, and sketched the general situation of Winter Village on it.
"Because there is something that needs to be done, right?" Mark poured himself a large glass of water, sat down next to David, and looked at the busy farmers together: "This scene has an inexplicable appeal."
After closing the notebook, David thought for a moment and did not get up immediately to build a toilet or dig a well. Instead, he went back to the house and took out a new notebook.
Even the blacksmith whom I have always been thinking about now has a clue - it depends on when the little blacksmith Will Turner will come over again.
After saying that, regardless of whether David understood or not, he hurriedly ran out of the village, and soon he turned into a shadow and disappeared.
With suitable high-yielding crops, there are enough prey around Lindong Village, and there are abundant aquatic products in the Lindong River, coupled with sustainable breeding and a continuous supply of eggs and meat, food is essential for this village of more than a dozen people.
It's quite sufficient.
David walked to the table, picked up the cover that was fastened to the table, saw his breakfast, and tested it to see if it was still warm, so he sat down directly, facing the busy and enthusiastic people, and ate breakfast.
Enjoy the busy scene.
The last one listed is Squirtle.
Opposite the warehouse is another temporary wooden house that has not had time to be demolished, which is the house where the farmers currently live. At the same time, the farmers chose to build a new home on the north side of this large wooden house.
As for the farmland opened up by Mark, it is located on the west side of the big wooden house, and according to his plan, it will extend to the west in the direction of the Winter River.
There are now about twenty people living in the village, and it would be a bit troublesome to go so far to fetch water from the river, so a well must be dug—even if groundwater cannot be found, one must find a way to get water from the Winter River.
Bring water over.
"What are you talking about?"
David, who was very imaginative, considered the possibility of laying water pipes. In addition, he was also dissatisfied with the dirt roads in the village. Even if he couldn't lay an asphalt road, he had to at least get a gravel road, right? Not only could he make it
The village is more hygienic, reduces flying dust, and most importantly, looks more beautiful and clean.
The accommodation is currently being sorted out. Although it is just a wooden house, we need to solve the existing problems first and then consider whether we can live in a better and more comfortable place.
According to the order of coming to Winter Village, David compiled this information to determine what 'rewards' he could get, such as the language and archery on Laura's page, and the Holy Light on Fording's page, etc.
It has become my own talent.
This time, he listed the names of Lara Croft, Tirion Fordring, and Mark Watney.
For example, Lara Croft's page contains information about ancient civilizations from many countries, she is proficient in multiple languages, she is proficient in the use of bows, arrows, firearms and other weapons, she is good at climbing, etc.
In the information recorded on Mark Watney's page, he marked potatoes and put a question mark after "fertile soil".
In the past, there were few people living in the village. Although it was troublesome to go to the river to fetch water, the water was not consumed so quickly when there were few people, so it was acceptable to go further away.
"It seems that it takes a lot of time and energy to make everything come true."
Everything is on track. At first glance, it seems that there is really nothing for David to worry about. Next, he just needs to develop the village step by step?
What should be done next? Or what can be done? David needs to think about it!
After thinking carefully for a while and looking at the empty dishes in front of him, David stood up and tidied up. When he came back, Mark had already left and his figure was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he had returned to Mars?
Walking along the road that is barely considered the main avenue - the road facing the door, David quickly visited the brand new Winter Village:
The wooden houses of David, Laura, Fording and Mark are located on the easternmost side of the village, facing the main avenue. The square table where they eat together is located in front of David's wooden house, which is the entire east side of the village.
side edge.
As he was thinking and writing, he realized that there were a lot of things he wanted to do. If the initial construction could be completed according to his vision, Winter Village would be a smaller town, and its infrastructure would surpass other small towns in the Kingdom of Tilan.
town.
He looked at Squirtle, who was sitting next to him, drinking from a water cup and looking at him with cute eyes from time to time. David didn't know what he would get from this guy?
He had secretly tested that he could not spit out a lot of water from his mouth like Squirtle; and he had just turned the village around, and nothing new appeared in the village like potatoes after Mark appeared.
.
"How about fixing a water pipe?"
"Public toilet..." With the sketch, his thinking became much clearer: "We still need to dig a well."
If there are no accidents, when the farmers build their own houses, the temporary wooden house will be demolished, and the large wooden house used as the kitchen, blacksmith shop and warehouse will also be demolished sooner or later - the warehouse will be rebuilt.
Even better, the functions of the kitchen and blacksmith shop will also be separated separately.
What else can be planned?
David immediately thought that a public toilet should be built at the outermost edge of the village to ensure public health inside the village and to store fertilizer.
This is the current Cold Winter Village. Counting the houses, cattle pens, and chicken coops that have just been built, there are not many buildings in total. Standing anywhere in the village, you can see the entire village.
"So tell me, what do you need to do now?" Mark was also curious, what is David going to do next?
"When you say that, I really can't think of what to do?" The village has been established; he has also received a formal appointment document from the Kingdom of Tilan. Due to the special circumstances of the pioneering team establishing the village, he can barely be regarded as a small lord in a remote countryside.
.
Is it because your relationship with Squirtle is not good enough that you haven’t received the reward yet?
After finishing writing the information he thought of, David hesitated and finally only wrote Will Turner's name, and put a question mark at the end.
Whether this young blacksmith can become the blacksmith of Cold Winter Village has not been finalized yet. Now I have to write a lot of them, but in the end I find that I can't get them all. That would be very depressing.
He tore out a few pages filled with words and burned them all to ashes with sacred fire. David suddenly thought: "If two of them really appear together, does it mean that a new person is coming?"
