- Enise gently raised her whip and drove the lambs in front of her.
The whip in her hand seemed to be raised, but it was reluctant to fall on Yang'er. Looking at the sheep grazing happily in front of them, Anise's eyes shone brightly.
The sheep are already fatter than when they came from the grassland. The water and grass here are very good. Although the pasture area is not large, fortunately there are very few shepherds. Unlike on the grassland, there are many tribes competing for it, and there is no need to be constantly wary of bandits from other tribes.
Looking at the winding river in front of her, Enise simply sat down on the grass. Dragging his cheeks, he looked at the sheep, not knowing what he was thinking about in a daze.
"Eat, eat, eat faster. Eat fatter." Aini Sai murmured in her mouth.
It is already late autumn, and in a few days, winter will come. Before the first snow of winter arrives, this is the last opportunity for cattle and sheep to gain weight and store energy for the winter.
Here, Enise feels happier than ever before.
There is no need to worry about insufficient food in winter, there is no need to worry about slaughtering weak cattle and sheep, and there is no longer a scene where the old and weak are driven out of the tribe with tears in order to terminate the food contract.
It¡¯s a pitymy brother and father are both gone.
It¡¯s a pity that my brother and grandma can¡¯t see either.
There is no lame old man here who always smiles heartily, nor are the tough young boys from the tribe chasing him around and pulling his pigtails.
The grass was a little cold, but Enise didn't care. Children on the grassland have never been so delicate.
He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it, revealing a delicious ball of dough, yellow and orange. This is what the people here call "corn", ground into flour.
The taste is much more delicate and sweeter than the highland barley that Enise used to eat.
Anise feels that she will never get tired of such delicious food even if she eats it for the rest of her life.
What makes her a little ashamed is that in the first few days after she came here, when she dreamed at night, she dreamed that she was lying in a pile of corn.
Enise had already seen the cornfield. The herdsmen looked at the large tracts of farmland and regarded that place as a treasure. They sternly warned their children not to play there. If they broke a banker, they would probably lose their money. The gods will be angry.
But Enise is the only exception.
Everyone here knows that she was brought back by the "high priest" and was also the disciple accepted by the high priest.
Enise has special privileges. She can enter the city under construction and the temple that looks so majestic that people can¡¯t help but want to worship it. Although the people on the grassland do not believe in this, it is The majesty of the building inevitably evokes a sense of awe.
Of course, Enise can also enter the cornfield. But the little girl didn't do that. She only talked about taking a look around the cornfield while driving the sheep - looking at so much grain, the little girl felt an indescribable sense of security.
Yes, looking at it, it seems that the feeling of hunger and thirst has been far away from me.
Everything here is so beautiful.
The only thing that makes Enise feel depressed is that she has not seen her husband again for many, many days.
It seems that my husband has been away from home for a while, and since he came back, he seems to have been very busy.
That¡¯s right, sir, he is such a great and magical man of God.
The tribe here, the majestic city built, the large farmhouse, those chimneys that smoke all day long, and those brick kilns all belong to Mr.
The population here is tens of thousands!
Even in the grassland, a tribe with a population of tens of thousands is a rare large tribe.
"And the wealth of my husband is probably not comparable to that of the Prairie King.
Enise saw with her own eyes that Mr.¡¯s men picked corn in the farmland, then crushed the corn stalks and used them to feed the livestock.
This is such a waste!
Enise once picked up the dregs of the corn stalks, took them back, ground them, cooked them, and tasted them. They all tasted better than highland barley!
If it were on the grassland, something like this would be very good food.
But here, sir, it is only used to feed horses.
No wonder, sir, the cattle, sheep and horses here are all so majestic.
There are boats coming far on the river. The workers on the boat magically stood on the bow, occasionally waving their hats at the herdsmen on the shore and letting out generous and proud laughter.
These people are all subordinates of Lord Montoya. It is said that they were mining in the distant mountains and dug out some black stones for making fire. Once ignited, the fire would be difficult to extinguish, much more difficult than burning. Wood is much more economical, and a piece of black stone can burn for a long time.
From the mines in the deep mountains, boatloads of black stones like this are transported out every day. These boats slowly drive along this small river to the settlement.
Those boatmen are all very dark. When they smile, only their teeth are white.
Enise raised her head and looked at the blue sky.
In a few days, in a few days it will snow, right?
¡°I heard from people here that they have already stored enough food for this winter. Everyone is discussing how to spend this New Year.
Enise knew that this tribe and territory of his husband had only been established for less than a year. This winter is also the first winter for this new tribe.
But the winter here seems to be so relaxed, cheerful, and even
Just when Enise was looking at the sky in a daze, she didn't realize that a shadow covered her above her head.
Raising his head, Enise saw a slender figure standing in front of him, looking down at him. Although he was in the shadows, the smile on his face immediately made Enise happy.
"gentlemen!"
Anise jumped up, as if she wanted to hug her husband's waist, but then a trace of uneasiness in her heart prevented her from doing so - ever since she saw so many people in the temple kneeling and worshiping her husband piously in the territory, Aine Sai Nise deeply understood how much authority the husband had here.
Chen Daolin smiled.
He looked at the little girl who seemed to be at a loss. He reached out and gently touched Enise's hair, and said softly: "It's so cold, why are you still sitting here blowing the wind?"
Anise blushed and just looked at her teacher with a pair of bright eyes.
"I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing?"
"Okay." Enise nodded vigorously: "Eat well and wear warm clothes. And, andthat sister Rodel sent me a lot of things."
Chen Daolin smiled: "She knew you were my apprentice, so she naturally looked at you differently. I heard her say that she originally asked you to live in the city, but you refused and just wanted to stay in the herdsman tribe here?"
Anise's little face was red, and she was a little scared: "Sir, I, I don't dare."
The first is that I don¡¯t dare, and the second is that I am uneasy.
Because her husband was not here, Enise instinctively felt a little afraid of the many strangers in the city. Although those people, the sister named Barossa and the sister named Rodel, were all very kind and polite to me, but the teacher was not at home, and Enise was instinctively afraid of them.
Chen Daolin sighed, gently stroked Enise's forehead with his fingers, and said warmly: "Okay, I was too busy a few days ago to take care of you. Now that winter is coming, everyone should breathe a sigh of relief. Starting today, you come back to the city with me. Since you are my disciple, I can't just let you have a name. I have to teach you something to be a qualified teacher."
Anise¡¯s eyes were a little excited.
In fact, it¡¯s not that she doesn¡¯t want to live in the city¡ªin fact, she just wants to follow her teacher. The teacher was not in the city, so she naturally didn't want to go. But now that the teacher is back, Enise thinks in her heart that she must always be with the teacher.
Moreover, although the tribe is good, because everyone knows that they are the disciples of the teacher, and Sister Rodel and Sister Barossa have sent people to send many, many good things, the herdsmen always look at me with a confused look. Something strange.
Although he was still very polite, there was a hint of awe and alienation.
¡°We¡¯ve already agreed that sheep are not allowed to be raised in the city, and I don¡¯t have room to raise sheep at home.¡± Chen Daolin smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s just hand over the sheep to the tribe for foster care first.¡±
Anise nodded and whispered: "I listen to sir."
Chen Daolin looked at the little girl, took two steps back and looked at her carefully, and said with a smile: "It's only been more than a month since I last saw her. You seem to have grown taller again."
Enise has indeed grown taller. Originally malnourished, Chen Daolin became almost malnourished on the way out from the grassland.Thanks to the cool nursing care and more than a month of living a prosperous life here, the little girl's face has gained a lot of rosy color and her figure has become a bit taller.
The only thing that embarrassed her was that her clothes were a little too short. Enise once quietly modified her clothes in the tent at night, but her shoes were still a little tight on her feet, which would hurt her if she walked too much.
Of course, these are all small problems. Compared with being on the grassland, I am already very excited and happy here. So Enise never complained to anyone.
"Come on, follow me back to the city."
Chen Daolin stretched out his big hand.
Anise hesitated for a moment, blinked her eyes, and slowly put her little hand into Chen Daolin's palm.
Chen Daolin took the little girl's hand and the two walked towards the new city together.
The smoke from the chimney has been reduced a lot. The scale of the brick kiln has been deliberately controlled under Chen Daolin's instruction.
At present, Chen Daolin is not in a hurry to expand the output of brick kilns. He doesn't really plan to make money by selling bricks, as long as the output is enough to build a new city.
The problem of manpower shortage still bothered him, and he did not want to turn everyone in his territory into brick-burners.
This year¡¯s production and inventory of bricks are enough to last until spring. Chen Daolin did not intend to forcefully continue building the walled city in winter. After all, once it snows, the climate in the northwest is also terrible. The soil will freeze and be harder than iron. If you hit it with a hammer, there won't even be a hole.
At present, Chen Daolin is generally relieved that there is enough carbon for heating during the winter and enough food.
In the northwest, if you don¡¯t starve to death or freeze to death during the winter, it will be like a day in paradise.
As for the invasion of the prairie people Chen Daolin is not too worried.
If the prairie people really attack, the Tulip family's army will be the first to resist, right?
Even if we fight back here, Panin's Thunder God's Whip will still hold us back.
¡°If it doesn¡¯t work in the end, at worst, Chen Daolin will drag everyone to the northwest fortress. Once the city gate is closed, the other gathering places will be left to the prairie people to toss.
The dealers have all harvested, and these broken brick kilns are left to their own devices, and they won¡¯t feel bad even if they are all destroyed.
As for the houses and buildings if they are left there, the prairie people cannot move them away.
In fact, compared to others, Chen Daolin prays almost every day.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Pray to God. Let it snow, let it snow!
As soon as the first snow falls, it heralds the arrival of winter! !
What does winter mean?
¡°Winter means peace.¡±
In his own home, all Chen Daolin¡¯s team gathered in the hall.
Chen Daolin looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I don't care about the grassland people. They may be desperate to invade eastward, but that is a headache for the Tulip family and Panin. With them blocking both sides, it is not our turn to worry.
¡°I¡¯m worried about the orcs.
But once winter really comes, the snow falls, and a heavy snowfall blocks the roads, then the orcs will not be able to move south on a large scale for at least one winter. In winter, orcs can only hide in houses.
When the army goes out to fight in the ice and snow, that is unless the king of the orcs has lost his mind.
So God bless, let it snow soon! ! " - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
