Chapter 041 Carl--a Vindictive Elf
This elf appeared abruptly in the rain curtain. He has a pair of slender and pointed ears with ear tips over the top of his head. The long light golden hair wet by the rain is softly pressed against the scalp, and he is wearing some kind of plant fiber woven. Thin and smooth clothing, carrying a long bow, a row of palm-length daggers pinned to the belt around the waist, holding a wooden scabbard in the left hand, and a long sword wrapped in a handle with vines in the right hand, in terms of costume , No one would mistake the identity of this elf warrior.
At this moment, the elf warrior seemed to be adapting to the washing of the rain, squinting his dark blue pupils, scanning the snow werewolves with bare butts, wearing hats and shoes, and pausing for a moment on the dark blue rocks. When he looked at other people again, Xiao Yun seemed... from his expression, he saw a trace of doubt?
"..." Xiao Yun silently turned his head and glanced at Ashan next to him. That's right, the snow wolves were forced to wash away for nothing. If this elf warrior knew the snow wolves before, he would be confused now-even Qingyan at first he didn't dare to recognize them.
Xiao Yun swallowed secretly, he said that he was not guilty, it was false, after all, a lot of the materials behind them were taken from the hands of the elves... In this case, it is not embarrassing to encounter the victim! Ordinarily, under this kind of heavy rain, wild countryside, and no one around, he was looking for the victim who was brought up by a large number of people, a guilty conscience and a weak conscience, but Xiao Yun did not want to experience being caught. Millions of elves are gearing up to slaughter your whole family. Does the ghost know that these magical elves have the technology to send the alarm? He didn't have the ability of Old Demon Han to stubbornly flee thousands of miles away! (Old Demon Han: the actor Han Li in "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation", a famous contemporary immortal chivalrous novel in China )
But if you want to say that he is more acquainted, immediately hand over his knees and lick the elves. it also no way. Now the snow werewolves this population, technology and economic level, they're not qualified to be a little brother! What's more, the snow werewolf doesn't mean that they really haven't any grudge with the elves. Didn't the snow werewolves greedily went to work as a mercenary for the Orc Emperor? In case the elves hold grudges, if he kneeling and licking that it's not the difference giving away their heads?
The above thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, Xiao Yun gritted his teeth and decided... it would be better to quickly fool away this guy who appeared completely out of place.
"Hello?" Xiao Yun blinked his eyes, his eyes were all misty, opened his mouth to reveal his big white teeth, smiled innocently and purely, "Are you an elf?"
The elf warrior retracted his eyes from the others and looked towards his mouth. The cub was silent for a while before the elf warrior said uncertainly: "Are you snow werewolves?"
"Yes." Xiao Yun took off his vine hat to expose the snow werewolf clan's ears, and put it back on, "We are about to go back to the tribe, but it was so heavy rain. "
If now the snow werewolf tribe is already developed and Xiao Yun has the confidence to deal with the elves, then he will put on an innocent face to ask for help. He stubbornly got in touch with the other party, but since it's not time... then forget it!
The elf warrior stared at him for a few seconds, then looked at the others again, and took a half step back with one foot: "Are you really snow werewolves?"
Xiao Yun: "..." wait, he patronizes and worry about the situation of the werewolf here, forgetting that the other party should be more concerned about his own safety in the case of an order!
If the elf warrior turned his head and ran away, it would be even more troublesome if he turned his head back and asked his friends to catch up and explain that the snow werewolf was not malicious!
Xiao Yun immediately put on an aggrieved face and turned to look at Ashan: "Uncle Ashan, why doesn't he believe that we are snow werewolves?"
Ashan scratched his scalp, looked at the evil-looking elf, and deliberated: "Or, Shall we become wolves to show you?"
Qingyan was completely shocked: "..."
The elf warrior who couldn't keep up with the opposite thought: "..."
Xiao Yun praised Ashan's true performance in his heart, and was shameless. The innocent and pure face looked at the elf: "Uncle and others are very tired, or I will turn to show you?"
The corner of the elf warrior's mouth was clearly twitched: "No, no, I believe you are snow werewolves."
Xiao Yun made a very satisfied expression, relaxed the dried salted fish in his hand and took a bite: "What are you looking for us do for you?"
The expression of the elf warrior suddenly became deeper.
"Oh, you are hungry and hunting right now!" Xiao Yun pretended to be suddenly enlightened before the other party pulled out the reason, "We have dried fish here, if you want it, you can give it to you." He said from his side. Two palm-sized dried fish slices were taken out from the oily skin pocket and passed over them purely.
Elf warrior Carl: "..."
A group of snow werewolves and a cat clan, adults seem to be tired enough, only the cubs are energetic, such a team... does not seem to be threatening?
But this does not completely dispel Carl's worries. After all, this area belongs to the grassland where the water flows into the sea. The terrain is low and flooded year by year. The snow werewolves who rely on grazing never lean here. Such a group of snow werewolves appeared nearby. As a soldier on patrol, there was no reason why he ignored him. He had seen the power of snow werewolf fighters with his own eyes, and he was not so easily blinded by the seemingly harmless appearance of these guys!
The elf warrior raised his finger to the huge package behind the snow wolf people: "What is that?"
Xiao Yun: "..." This guy is not easy to fool!
Be honest? This definitely won't work, the ghost knows what the status of the salt on the elves is? If someone comes to see that you are very capable and accept you as a younger brother to make you a general salt-cooking officer, how can you expect the elves to show kindness in the future? While thinking about it, Xiao Yun made a vigilant face and hugged the oil-skin bag of dried fish, staring at the other side defensively: "What do you want to do, this is what we have worked so hard on, and can't give it to you." He held out his right hand again. Two pieces of dried fish, "I can only give you so much at most."
"..." Qingyan & the people looked at Xiao Yun silently, then silently focused their eyes on the elf.
Elf warrior Carl: "..."
The cubs of the snow werewolves come into adulthood at the age of 30 years old, and the elves are at the age of 100 years old. As an elf warrior in the clan, Carl is over 260 years old this year. Even though the internal social structure of the elf clan is not as complicated as humans, it is still not easy to deceive elves of this age by lies and rhetoric.
Carl could see that this snow werewolf cub was pretending to be naive. At the same time, Carl could also tell that the other party did not lie...The huge burden behind them seemed to be the fruit of the snow werewolf's own labor. When he asked directly, the cub's reaction at that moment showed that he was really worried that the elves would plunder the fruits of their labor.
This made Carl very depressed-no matter how the forest elves could be reduced to the point where they would snatch these poor mass bare-ass snow werewolves!
Glancing at the pretendingly clever Snow Wolf cub, Carl's good mood this day can be regarded as ruined by this guy's malicious guess: "...Don't go into the deep forest."
Dropped this warning, and the elf warrior submerge in the rain.
Xiao Yun was staring at this guy with his eyes completely the figure disappeared from the rain curtain, and the sweat beads on his forehead scrambled to emerge.
"Jesus!... These elves are really shrewd!" Xiao Yun, who was nervous all the way, felt a sense of gratitude that he had escaped a catastrophe. The clansmen didn't feel anything, but he had been squinted by that guy. His eyes were so hairy, and there was even an illusion that he was truant and lied when he returned to junior high school, and was spotted by the teacher-in-charge. The blue eyes of the elves seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he could vaguely feel that the other party knew he was acting.
If he hadn't noticed that this guy's tail was a little bit warped, and took advantage of this elf's arrogant mentality, this level would not be so easy to get past!
"There is no thunder, go quickly, the farther away from this broken place, the better!" Putting the dried fish back out, Xiao Yun immediately urged the tribe to leave. You don't care if you are hungry or tired. It's serious to stay away from the dangerous wall earlier.
It rained heavily all night, and when the sky was twilight, the rain gradually reduced, but he still rushed and refused to give up the land and air positions he occupied for a long time.
Two figures jumped and shuttled between the treetops of the trees, and when the raindrops accumulated on the swaying leaves fell, they had appeared several meters away.
"Know how to deceive your snow werewolf cub? Carl, are you serious?"
"I can't be sure if he has misled me, but I can confirm that he is hiding something, Harlan."
Harlan jumped out of the woods The scope and toes fell on the grass where there was a lot of water, and turned to look at his companion: "Are you sure that it is really a cub of the snow wolf man, not a human?"
"I don't even have the smell of human beings.." Carl floated down to his companion's side, led the way forward, frowning and said, "They appeared here, they could only go to the beach. A group of snow werewolves far away from the tribe and went to the beach to fish and dry the fish. This is not like what would a snow werewolf do?"
Harlan disagrees: "Otherwise, do they want to build ships and go out to sea?"
"The things they use to wrap supplies are the sails on human sailboats. After I went back, I thought about it and thought about it... It seems we got rid of it. The merchant ship sails." Carl was a little annoyed.
"Huh?!" Harlan was surprised, "So, there really were Snow Werewolves near us at that time?"
"At that time, I told you that you didn't believe it."
"It's too strange anyway, I really don't think the snow werewolves on the grassland would collude with human merchant ships. If those guys could be so smart, they wouldn't be willing to be the beast king's sword for a little bit of profit. It's more likely that they would later After looting those merchant ships, this kind of thing was done by Snow Werewolves." Harlan shook his head.
"I don't think the snow werewolves colluded with merchant ships. If so, they had no reason not to attack us at the time. After all, we only had two people. But those snow werewolves did take something from the beach, and they didn't want us to know. "
"So what is the difference between the two of us now and the previous situation?"
"Don't you think we need to confirm what they are wrapped in sails and carefully taken away?" Karl asked back.
"I think you are just getting mad and angry after being fooled by that snow wolf man cub for a while." The companion rudely said, "The snow wolf man didn't dare to attack you and made you a little arrogant, so you despised them. You have always been like this. Carl, exaggerate what you have encountered, and then show off your ability to solve problems."
"Harlan!"
The two elf warriors quickly found the slope where the snow werewolves rested last night. The place was naturally empty, even the snow werewolves left behind. His footprints and traces were washed away by the heavy rain all night.
Harlan looked at his companion with a faint smile: "I start to think that the smart' snow werewolf cub you described is real, Carl, after they coaxed you away, they didn't delay and ran all night... …Perhaps you happily laughed at you, such a fool behind your back?"
Carl: "…"
The elves are a proud race, and neither the dwarf king, the beast king, or the overlord humans in the south can't ignore and despise the existence and status of the elves. The powerful individual combat power and the luxuriant ethnic group give the elves enough capital to disregard all the creatures on this continent-the green dragons who live in the same forest have maintained friendly relations with the forest elves for thousands of years. Will not easily show fangs to the elves.
As a warrior of the elves, Carl will inevitably swell...Whether he admits it or not, when he faces a group of down-and-out, bare-assed snow werewolves alone, these snow werewolves are obviously too powerful but dare not touch him. His tail is almost up to the sky.
So when he was fooled by a snow werewolf cub, Carl was very angry...
Enduring the cynicism of his unscrupulous companion, Carl secretly made up his mind on the way home: Let him meet the shamelessly innocent cub again, and he must teach him a lesson!
The bare-bottomed snow werewolves finally rushed back to their tribe after four days...
There was no "close contact" with outsiders on the way, no chance of getting lice, no need to shave their heads one by one, just wash inside and out and eat just one more meal as a welcome meal for them back.
After they were full, they counted the harvest immediately. Naturally, it is a full-time carnival. The hard work of this month and a half was not in vain. A bag of about 50 catties of salt was brought back with more than 100 bags. A pile of so much salt is still pure and white. With a little green, crystal-like fine salt, the patriarch almost didn't laugh to death on the spot...
In addition to salt, there are more than a hundred bags of dried salted fish and dried shrimps. There has never been a fishing boat on the side of the inland sea on the grassland. Haunted, the fishing nets made of bark fibers are a good harvest. According to the nature of the snow werewolves, Hongye and the others couldn't stop crazy for fishing...The offshore fish is not as spiny as the freshwater fish, and it is easy to eat. .
Put the fruits of these snow werewolves' own labor into the warehouse, and the next step is to count the materials which they collected from the beach. Xiao Yun opened the first wooden box under the gaze of the rare people waiting to see the people around the wall. Most of the box of copper coins appeared...
People were very quiet.
Xiao Yun threw away the box of useless copper coins with sullen brows, untied the tied canvas, pulled out the hay that was cushioning it, and revealed a large round iron pot more than half a meter wide.
"Oh oh oh oh oh!" The tribe's eyes were bright with excitement, iron pot! An iron pot that is better than a clay pot! Only a wok that the tauren can afford!
Xiao Yun put out two large boxes of fabric again.
"Wow wow wow wow!" The people of the tribe were rolling happily, with a lot of fabrics, and seeing so much for the first time!
Xiao Yun spread out the sweet potato bag and the potato boxes.
People are very quiet.
"...Is it really good to be so realistic? Let's have a voice of support!" Xiao Yun was furious.
"Oh, good, good~~" The tribe screamed casually.
Xiao Yun wiped his face and explained the importance of these two gods himself: "Don't look at these tubers inconspicuously. Cut them into pieces according to the buds on them, and plant them in the fields when the temperature is right. We can eat them next year. There are potato cakes and sweet potato flours that are not inferior to wheat cakes!"
"Wow,wow,wow——!!!" The tribe immediately screamed and some people started to roll. Ayun said that something delicious must be delicious!
Xiao Yun: "..." he didn't know if he should be moved. These guys really made people feel complicated.
He took the important sweet potato potatoes aside. Now that the solar terms of planting these two crops have passed, Xiao Yun is unwilling to delay it until next year, so he can set up a simple greenhouse to try it out.
The next harvest is all fragments, a good-looking but not very useful pocket watch, a small handful of steel needles that can be used to sew clothes, a merchant ship medical kit that looks useful but very limited, or complete or incomplete. Hundreds of iron-like weapons...
With an iron pan, they can eat stir-fried dishes. Under the influence of Xiao Yun, the people of the tribe have the habit of accumulating animal fats, and they have accumulated a lot animal fat when they kill sheep or doing work with the catch of wild animals. Xiao Yun showed his cooking skill that night, letting the clan learn about the third way to eat the vegetables they grow, besides boiled and as pie fillings: stir-fried Chinese cabbage, stir-fried small green vegetables, stir-fried pork with pork slices and Chinese cabbage, stir-fried pork slices and small green vegetables...
There is no doubt that the taste of stir-fried dishes is richer than that of boiling. The iron pot that plays an outstanding role when cooking salt immediately won the most sincere love of the tribe...
Two iron woks boil hot water and boil food, and use the third one for stir-fried, but do the other iron woks rotate with them... The patriarch wanted to store the rest of the iron woks, Xiao Yun grabbed him and told him that the iron woks would not be stored for a long time and will be easy broken to persuade him.
The patriarch Huoyan is really more and more prone to hamsterism.
The next morning when he returned to the tribe, Xiao Yun got up and ran to the river. The tribes didn't seem to worry too much about the recent rain flooding, but as far as the careless behavior of the tribes... To be honest, Xiao Yun was not very much trust them.
When he reached the position of the waterwheel by the river, Xiao Yun almost didn't mention it—the river was almost flooded to the bearing of the waterwheel!
The water in the canal is full, and the three waterwheels are still working!
"Can't be angry, calm down, you raise them by yourself...Oh! No, I am raised by them, and I can't be angry!" Xiao Yun looked hard-boiled and pressed his chest to reduce the pressure, making Ashan and Oxhorn dismantled the three waterwheels and placed them high on the bank of the river. They ran to the downstream position and opened the sluice at the outlet of the canal to release the water.
Checked the fields again, okay, the alfalfa fields were relatively high, and only a small part of the alfalfa roots in the fields were rotten, and the vegetable fields directly became water fields...
The water from the vegetable field drained away in the ditch, and an angry Xiao Yun planned to find the trouble of Qiuqiu--when he left, he clearly told him to look at the water level. Didn't he have any memory for such a big person?
Walking halfway, Xiao Yun turned his head in response...Really, his brain was also clamped to the goal, expecting a manul Qiuqiu to pay attention to the water level when it is flooded? Will Qiuqiu get out when it rains? When the water level of the river is high, does he dare to approach it?
"I am such an idiot..." Xiao Yun wiped his face and admitted that he was stupid, and rushed to check the water storage pond further downstream, and drain the water from the pond into the swamp...
Checked the embankment built by the snow werewolves on the north bank, Xiao Yun's mood was a little better. The embankment is made of mud bricks, soil cement mixed with a large number of reed poles, and rammed loess. It is very thick, about four meters wide, and more than two meters higher than the original river bank. It turns from the river to the tribe. The location has been repaired to the lowest swamp on the north shore. If the flood is not too unreasonable, it should not be able to come here.
Climbing to the embankment, looking far away from the upper reaches of the river, which had become turbid and turbulent due to heavy rains, and then looked at the surface of the opposite bank where the water had not yet receded and was basically soaked in the muddy water. Xiao Yun just recovered a little bit of mood again. It's getting worse... now it has passed the highest temperature, but the tail of summer is still in the world. According to the tauren's instructions, this period of flooding is still too early!
"Perhaps, I should go to the upper reaches to see the upper river course?" Xiao Yun was a little bit undecided. To build water conservancy is not just to build a river embankment. Everyone in China who has studied Dayu's water management in elementary school knows that blocking is worse than dredging... The best way to manage this tributary of the Main River, which supports their tribe's farming, is to start from the source and use diversion methods to slow down the flow of the river and reduce the possibility of flooding.
But here is the crux of the problem... In ancient China, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people were involved in water control. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole people contribute their efforts. How could he have such a scale of manpower? !
Facing the rushing river blankly for a few minutes, Xiao Yun suddenly had an evil idea in his mind: "It's better to... make an opening in the upstream reaches to lead the excess river water to the forest, or go to the underground world..."
... There is no doubt that it is much easier to run to the upstream of this tributary before turning here to open a flood discharge hole than to dig a whole river channel by crazy squeezing the labor of the tribe. As soon as this evil thought came up, Xiao Yun couldn't help himself...
Especially when he thought of the arrogant eyes that the elf warrior seemed to see through his thought, Xiao Yun was inclined to the former—even if he knew it clearly in his heart that the flood released there may not be able to flood the place where the elf lives, but it seems to be very pleasant to take revenge on them~
"...Forget it. Looking back, the elves ran up to find the source of the flooding. It's easy for us to expose the small tribe above them." Thinking of the consequences, Xiao Yun was a little unsure. It was not to say that he was frightened, but to harm himself in when he was unable to bear the consequences. It was so stupid.
"In the first that organize the rescue and harvest of vegetables...This time of vegetables will be rotten in the bad ground if they are not harvested. If I have not thought of any other way after harvesting the vegetables, then... let me more thinking!"
