Chapter 2 Goblins and Small Villages(1/2)
Chapter 2 Goblin Village
Robin walked a long way, panting from exhaustion, and the prisoner's clothes were soaked with sweat. At a glance, he saw a leg-high fence beside the road in the distance. The village was not big, and they were all simple small houses.
wooden house.
"This village... well! It's very poor!"
Robin stepped in and found that the houses in this village were all very close together, and there were only twenty at most. There was no one on the path. "
Robin knelt down, grabbed a handful of dirt, rubbed it, and then smelled it.
"Well! The soil here is quite good. Although there is little water in it, it can barely be used for planting. Judging from the smell, it must have rained a few days ago."
"And there must be water sources and forests nearby. It's actually not very far from where I found the water source. If you have a car, a few hours will be enough!"
With a creak, the door of the cabin opened, and a figure walked out of the house.
Robin looked and realized that this was not a human, but a goblin.
"Is this a Colombian village?"
Robin thought about it and it was right. How could there be humans living in this deserted land?
"Um...hello!"
Robin stepped forward to say hello. When the male goblin saw Robin, his face suddenly changed, his eyes showed fear, and he quickly ran back into the house.
"What's going on? Are you afraid of me?"
Robin walked down to the cabin and knocked on the door twice.
"Hey! Open the door quickly! I won't hurt you."
"Open the door quickly!"
After knocking for a long time, there was still no movement.
"Open the door! I really won't hurt you."
Hearing the creaking wooden door open, Columbus looked at Robin cautiously.
"You...who are you?"
"My name is Robin and I am a farmer."
"farmer?"
"Well! Let me go in and tell you. It's not convenient to say this!"
Columbus thought for a while and finally opened the door. Robin walked in and found that the house was extremely simple, and the living tools were very simple, just like a stable.
"By the way, why do you run away when you see me?"
"I thought you were a monster?" Goblin said.
"Monster? Do you think I look like a monster? Am I human?"
"Humans are scarier! Scarier than monsters!"
"Oh! Why do you say that?"
"We are the only small village in the Green Mountains. There is a huge river to the east, and behind the river is an endless forest! That forest is very scary, and there are many monsters."
"However, I have seen humans fighting against monsters many times."
"I understand! Goblins are considered monsters, so you are afraid!"
"Um!"
"How big is the forest you mentioned?"
"It's very big! Many humans have died in it, and we have never seen anyone come out alive. But although the forest is very big, it is just the tip of the iceberg in the Green Mountains."
When Columbus saw that Robin was polite and kind, and had no intention of harming him, he relaxed his vigilance and picked up the wooden cup on the table and took a sip of water.
"Hey! Did you make this wooden cup yourself?"
"Well! We are far away from the kingdom, but we still know a few things about humans."
The goblin picked up the wooden cup and took a sip of water. Seeing this, Robin took out an apple and handed it to him.
"Eat it! This is the fruit I grew. It's delicious."
"What is fruit?"
"Well...it's almost like a wild fruit."
Columbus looked at Robin, then at the big red apple, but he couldn't help but take it and bite it. The goblin's face suddenly showed a happy expression.
"Yeah! It's delicious! It's so delicious, so sweet! I've never tasted such delicious wild fruit. Did you really grow this?"
"Of course, I said I am a farmer."
"If we could have this kind of wild fruit in the village, we wouldn't be starving anymore."
"What? Is there no food in your village?"
Goblin shook his head and said: "We don't understand human cultivation. Low-level monsters like us all live on wild fruits, but some wild fruits, wild vegetables and mushrooms in this forest are poisonous, and our village
There are less than a hundred people in total, and hunting is out of the question."
"Is that so? But don't worry, since I'm here I will definitely help you improve your life."
"Really? Do you really want to help us?"
"Um!"
"That's great. My name is Tegula. Nice to meet you."
"Just call me Robin."
"I'll call the village chief and everyone here right now!"
When Robin saw Tegula running out happily, he also had a smile on his face, because he had decided to turn this place into his own base and develop agriculture and forestry here. "
After a while everyone came to Tegula's door, and saw a seventy-year-old Corinthian walking over tremblingly with a cane.
"I have heard what Tegula said, and I am very grateful to Mr. Robin for his willingness to help us."
"Don't be so polite, we all live in the Green Mountains."
Robin took a general glance and saw that there were about ninety people, and there were no old, weak, women and children. Perhaps they had all died because of the poor living environment here. The only one there was the village chief.
"Since everyone trusts me, I will just say a few words."
"I am a farmer, and what I hold in my hands are planting tools. We call planting collectively agriculture. You just need to know this."
"I am good at planting, that is, planting some wild fruits, vegetables, trees, etc., which are what we eat, so I hope everyone can cooperate with me to improve the entire village and provide a place to eat and live."
"So we all must listen to my arrangements and work hard to do everything well! Don't be afraid of hard work or tiredness! We must build a beautiful home with our own hands."
"Okay! We all listen to Mr. Robin, what should we do now?"
"I will first observe the surrounding environment of the village and the river."
Originally, Robin planned to use the spring of life, but it cannot continue like this. If the scope is expanded in the future, ordinary planting will play a key role, and the spring of life can be used as a supplement. The current use of the spring of life is also to lay the foundation for the future.
"Since planting must use ordinary methods, the spring of life can only achieve improvement! If it is widely planted in the future, the land can be improved, which is more cost-effective."
Robin took a general look at the village and didn't come back until night. At this time, the village leader Luke gave his house to Robin.
"Alas! The village is now poor in food and accommodation. It is unrealistic to expect improvement all at once. Let's do it bit by bit."
The next morning, Robin got up at dawn. Because last night he had a rough idea of where to plant what! So he came here in advance to plant the spring of life and improve the land.
"Is it so early Mr. Robin?"
"Yeah! Did you know that a fence is going to be built here in Tegula?"
"Ah! Such a big place needs to be fenced off?"
"Not bad! I want to plant things here, and also fence it on the left side. I have already painted it. It's best to finish it today!"
"I understand Mr. Robin."
"I saw there are a lot of these Columbus men, you guys form a team."
"Don't worry, I will definitely finish it!"
"Um!"
"Now I only have tomato seeds and apple seeds, and nothing else. I may not be able to go to the forest in this situation. It's too dangerous!"
Tegula formed a team of fifty people, but it took these people a whole day and night to finally complete it. Robin was very happy to see this scene! Because these goblins really worked hard, no worse than humans.
"You guys go and have a rest and leave it to me."
"Okay! Mr. Robin, you should also go to bed early."
"Um!"
After the goblins left, Robin picked up a hoe and began to loosen the soil, carefully planting tomato seeds, and then went to another place to plant apple seeds. Robin knew that the soil improved with the fountain of life was suitable.
Anything, but not as good as using it directly on the seeds.
