Chapter 042 "Frustration Education"
"Ka...Boom boom boom!"
After the lightning passed, the rapid raindrops splashed from the air to the ground again, and the raindrops shook the cabbage leaves slightly, making a series creaks.
In the heavy rain, all the snow werewolves and manuls stood silently on the ridge of the vegetable field, lined up in a row, everyone lowered their heads slightly, staring blankly at the vegetables harvested in the field, unable to recover for a long time.
Xiao Yun bent down and pulled out the last Chinese cabbage from the soaked soil. He threw the Chinese cabbage directly in front of everyone without caring about the worms lying on the leaves. Piled up a small pile of Chinese cabbage:
"Look, this is all the harvest in this big field."
His tone is not angry, because it is no longer necessary for him to get angry, the tribesmen and the manuls are completely looked utterly pale. ...
What is the concept of being soaked in water for a few days in a vegetable field that was originally in a low-lying place? It is the concept of failure... The Chinese cabbage that is about to be harvested is completely soaked from the root to the leaf, and the pests happily start carnivals in the leaves of the cabbage. The Chinese cabbage harvested in a large field in the last crop can make the snow werewolves happily sent it to the tribe for a long time. Now, a large field of Chinese cabbage that is barely complete can have a few dozen hundred kilograms, which is considered God's face.
"Why, how could this happen, isn't there enough water in the vegetable field... That's rain, obviously not river water?" The pale patriarch pressed his chest, his heartache was so bad that he could hardly breathe.
Yesterday, when the patriarch saw so much salt, he almost smiled on the spot and lied in Qingcao's house for a long time before relieving himself; Xiao Yun didn't want the patriarch to change from happiness to grief, so he calm down his tone, try not to be emotional: "The vegetable field does need a lot of watering, but the amount needed is limited. It has nothing to do with river water or rain. Just like we can't eat a meal for ten days and a half a month. It's the same as food. If you eat so much, you'll die."
Raised his fingers around the rotten cabbage in the vegetable field: "These are the all cabbages that drank too much water to death."
The pale-faced people standing there, many of them shook their bodies, it seemed that they are too grief and almost untenable-they would not be so uncomfortable without the last harvest. Compare the joy of serving the harvested vegetables, and then look at more than ninety-nine percent of the harvest. The remains of Chinese cabbage in here...No one can bear this kind of grievance.
Xiao Yun hardened his heart and stared at them with his hands behind his back and his face calm, without saying a word of comfort and relief. This group of guys really have a messy life, and their brains have been frozen for a long time. He said that when he repaired water conservancy, he mentioned the importance of preventing floods countless times. As a result, they always remember to prevent them. It's river water, rain is okay, seeing the vegetable field flooded by the rain and happily think that the vegetable is full of water... What's shit foolish!
Given a few minutes to make everyone heartache enough, Xiao Yun took them to the next vegetable field. This time he didn't let everyone "punish the station", but let them personally "collect the body" of the soaked Chinese cabbage. The heartache people stepped into the pulpy vegetable field with one foot and one foot. He trembled and pulled out the miserable cabbage... and most people cried.
"Why? It was still very fresh before obviously!"
"Oh my God~ we have been working hard to serve the vegetables for almost two months~ Plowing, fertilizing, picking water and weeding, everyone has worked hard to do it~"
"woo woo woo woo~~~~"
Ruthless cold-blooded cruel and unreasonable Xiao Yun still said something No hair, standing on the ridge with arms folded, looking at a group of adults & cubs with indifferent faces, or choking silently or crying.
He is not the kind of person who agrees with frustration education, because if a person hurts his confidence, he will be more reluctant to do things and his future will be slimmer. This is the experience summed up by many newcomers and younger generations in the company.
But when a newcomer makes a serious mistake, he must also let the other party know how much he has done wrong, how much he has caused himself and the company, and let the failure truly become a lesson and a mother of success. It is absolutely necessary to deeply realize the error. Otherwise, the people brought out won't be useful.
When there is a right place, you should praise it hard, to the extent that the other party uses your praise as the spiritual support. There is no need to swear harshly if there is something wrong, it will arouse the other person's rebellious psychology. Use appropriate means to make the other person fully realize the error, regret, or even cry out; and you can't just use words to comfort you. Don't let the other party have self-comforting psychology like "Your own mistakes can be remedied, and your own mistakes are not a big deal", so that the training will be deep...cough, the lesson will be deep enough.
Everyone has finished harvesting the pitiful harvest of this vegetable field, and basically no one can afford to raise their heads; Xiao Yun nodded, and continued on to the next vegetable field...
Chinese cabbage and green vegetables cannot withstand the blisters It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a mess in the vegetable field. Anyway, the harvest of Chengdu was so bad, Xiao Yun simply didn't have any time to collect it with a piece of land and a piece of land with the girls. It would not be enough to toss everyone to the point of death...
The radish field is better. After all, it was a tuber crop, and the leaves on the top were rotten. The tubers below were still alive. When they received the radish field, everyone's faces finally looked a little bit human: Xiao Yun's heart "haha", stretched out a sigh: " Alas, it seems that the salt we brought back can only be used to pickle radishes...the other two are no longer needed."
...Everyone cried again.
Xiao Yun originally planned to plant another crop, but looking at the current weather, there is nothing to expect from the third crop... This kind of continuous rainy day sowing is similar to throwing the seeds for fun. Fortunately, the first harvest of Chinese cabbage has a lot of storage, and the radish harvested in two rounds will be enough to eat until next year. The supply of vegetables and vegetables is still passable.
One day was used to let the people thoroughly reflect and recognize their mistakes. From the next day, they started to grab alfalfa seriously.
Xiao Yun also didn't want to harvest alfalfa in this kind of weather with constant thunderstorms, but the alfalfa field has fallen down due to the heavy rain for many days, and if it is not collected, it will be rotten in the ground, and the waste will be large.
The alfalfa that has been harvested should be dried in the sun, and the clouds in the sky become thicker, so quickly put it away and put it in a temporary canopy to avoid rain. In terms of workload, it is really more than last time.
But because of such a complicated and heavy harvest work, no one complained from the beginning to the end, and the sound of shouting tired and hungry disappeared completely-the "frustration education" in the vegetable field that day was so profound that it was so deep that night. Countless people lie down to sleep to the extent that they are still sobbing. The psychological shadow is estimated to be unable to get out in the short term... Even those who go out to cook salt without looking after the house will have red eyes the next day.
Xiao Yun looked at the situation, how could he be polite with them, and took advantage of this very honest opportunity to quickly arrange the work to be done-the river depends on the section of their tribe, dug a 500-meter-long artificial river to the no man's land in the south, lead the water overflowing the river to the wilderness below!
This decision was made by Xiao Yun after he turned into a wolf in the middle of the night and ran up the river for two back and forth. When he discovered that the extra water source of this river in the northwest was actually flowing out of the jungle, he was completely dead about the flooding of the forest.
The terrain of the entire jungle mountain range is taller than the grassland! He wanted to release the flood to flood the forest. The most likely consequence was not that the elves came to his tribe, but the damn flood turned around and flooded himself... So no matter how much Xiao Yun's heart moved, he had to give up this looks great idea.
As for why we don't use water to irrigate the underground world, it's because Xiao Yun discovered after field investigation that he had to dig a two-kilometer man-made river for this operation. The amount of work, time-consuming, and logistical support during work are all. Trouble, it's better to dig up your own tribe—this naturally formed tributary flowing along the terrain shows a not-so-standard slash line on the ground. The upper middle part of the slash is the nearest to your own tribe. In the area, opening up an artificial river on the opposite side of the river and diverting the water to the deserted field to the south is the best plan for the tribe's current human and material resources.
Ran back and forth several times at night to survey the terrain and the route to be dug. At dawn, Xiao Yun knocked on his hoe and sickle to wake everyone up, ate a little breakfast, and pulled them to the construction site... and started work!
Thanks to the successful "failure education", no one complained about the hard work of digging rivers in the rain with simple tools. Xiao Yun couldn't help but wonder if he would come again next year when he planted vegetables. The manuls, who are afraid of the water, across the river to deliver the food bravely.
When Xiao Yun squeezed the labors of his tribe to his heart's content, he ran two trips to the upper reaches of the river, in the northwestern region more than 80 kilometers away from the tribe. An ugly man with a big head and thin body, short hands and short legs The four-fingered palm of the hand was faintly metallic, and the small creatures with slightly wider and sharp-pointed metal nails on their fingers sneaked out of the hole.
"How about it, is there the smell of that snow werewolf?"
The companion hiding in the cave asked in a low voice..
The little creature lying on the entrance of the cave stared with big eyes without eyebrows, and sniffed the surrounding area with a flat nose. Then he crawled out numbly, turned his head and shouted inwardly: "There is no smell of snow werewolves. He didn't come."
"Whoosh", and the indiscriminately ugly companion of the guy who jumped out in front jumped out...
After these two little creatures jumped out, they sniffed vigilantly for a long time. Push the stone near the entrance of the cave to block the door of their "home".
The northern grasslands are not as distinct as the tropical grasslands in the rainy and dry seasons. However, in summer and autumn, the snowy mountains and snow melted by the increase in temperature and the substantially increased rainfall can still bring the rainy season-like experience to the residents of the northern grasslands. In such a natural environment, the weak and small creatures on this grassland are quite adapted to rainy days-rain will dilute their breath and reduce the probability of being spotted by predators. Some creatures even dare to go out for food when it rains.
Goblin, this kind of unpopular weak race from the underground world is one of the weak creatures that are stubbornly struggling to survive on the grasslands. They often find it difficult to maintain a larger ethnic group, because once the inhabitants of the prairie find that there are groups of goblins nearby, they will drive or even culminate them. If they want to continue their lives on the prairie, they can only hide in the form of small families or tiny ethnic groups. Quietly survived in an unknown corner of the grassland.
Areas with more rocks, dense low hills, and thin soil layers are not good pastures. Grassland dwellers who graze will not come here. This hilly area sandwiched between forests and grasslands becomes this one. The home of the tiny goblin tribe... Originally they lived in a place closer to the grassland to the east, but the snow werewolf tribe who had migrated found them and drove them away, so they moved west for more than 20 kilometers. To live in this hilly area closer to the forest.
Goblins cannot raise livestock, nor can they cultivate like tauren. They cannot expose traces of life on the surface. This will bring devastating disasters to their race... So, even if they live in one place for a long time, they can only sources of living supplies depend on collecting plant roots, snatching wild fruits from beaks, and hunting smaller creatures.
The two adult goblins, who were responsible for finding food for the tribe, cautiously and cautiously entered the outskirts of the forest. They used their claws and palms that were harder than metal to climb to the tree and confirmed that there were no large beasts hovering around. Their hunting action-they found long, barbed thorn bars, turned the thorn bars upside down, stabbed them into the hole dug by the rabbit, and slowly dig out; once the barbs of the thorn bars hook and hide The rabbit fur in the hole in the ground, they will happily drag the thorn strips out and break the rabbit's neck with a hard and strong palm.
Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, there are not always rabbits in the rabbit hole, but there will always be gains if you try more. After digging out the rabbit holes that can be found around them, they began to climb trees again and beat the deadwood trunks.
The leftover wild fruits and berries from the birds and the plump bugs hidden in the bark were their food sources. When bird eggs were found, they had to be carefully placed in the pockets woven from bark hanging from their waists. Leaving a safe burrow nest to find food on the surface is a dangerous job, so the person in charge of foraging always has some preferential treatment. The grasshoppers, dragonflies, cicadas and other edible insects that are not too many are caught. The snacks that belong to them can be eaten directly without taking them back.
Goblin's recipes are very wide. They eat all the edible wild vegetables and wild animals as long as they can get them. In the forest with frequent bird activities, they could even find wild taro and wild ginger that Xiao Yun hadn't found before...
Before the rain stopped, the two goblins returned to the hole dug by their tribe with a rich harvest.
The entrance is small, less than forty centimeters in diameter, and can only accommodate adult goblins. There is a cave in the cave. The deepest part reaches 30 meters underground, and the widest room can accommodate the wolf-shaped snow werewolf rolling and playing... But the air is not so good. The environment is also relatively dirty, and the little goblins hiding in the cave waiting to be fed are like briquettes.
They don't have a clay pot that can cook food, but long-term eating raw food is not good for health. Goblins live in a difficult situation, and the living environment under high pressure does not allow them to be stupid and brainless, so they also have a way to heat food—theirs A tunnel will be dug out for fire. This tunnel is far away from the place where they live, and safety can be guaranteed by collapsing the tunnel in case of danger; the end of this tunnel will be dug into the ground with larger stones , Or near the mountain, leave a breathable gap on the top, in which to light a fire, heat the specially selected stone-high-density slate stone with no holes-after the stone is heated , Clamp it with a wooden stick and put it in a large stone with a concave surface. Put water and food into the concave surface of the stone, and cook the food with the hot stones.
After filling their stomachs, the goblins will not leave the cave... When it is not raining, the surface world is too dangerous for them. Not to mention the wandering monsters, the larger beasts can drive them into the sky. Nowhere.
"Today I went to look around the snow werewolf's pasture. The grass over there is very rich, the same as before the snow werewolf came. Don't they come here to graze and don't want this pasture?"
The youngest in this small group The long goblin said.
The adult goblin who went out to find food immediately shook his head: "Didn't the snow werewolves come to see it a few days ago? Maybe they just didn't graze before, maybe they will come up during this time."
"The snow werewolf didn't go to the pasture at all. Ah, they must have given up the pasture here." Another adult goblin sighed: "The snow werewolves don't come to graze, there are many more beasts around...in the past few months, their soldiers have not patrolled here. "
" It's easier to avoid wild beasts than to avoid snow werewolves. When they are grazing in the nearby pasture, we can't go out for food even on rainy days."
"At least the snow werewolves found that we were just driving away. Leave and come back secretly. If you are found by a beast, you will lose your life."
"Needless to say, before they came, how many people did we lose? After they came, those beasts and beasts were driven away by them, even if they graze. At times, we have to be hungry for a while, but at other times it's always safer." The old goblin sighed: "If the same race of the world who came to the earth before us don't steal the cattle and sheep grazing by others, we won't be caught in the grassland. People are so disgusted... quietly picking up some cow dung will not be discovered, how can the cattle and sheep that have been stolen by others will not be discovered."
The only remaining three adult goblins of this small tribe sighed at the same time...
"If this snow werewolf tribe moves away...Are we secretly migrating with them?" The goblin who sighed with the increase in beasts suggested, "This tribe has very few snow werewolves. We will not be discovered by them if we are careful. Otherwise, If there are more beasts around here, it will be difficult for us to go up and find food."
"That's too dangerous." Another person immediately retorted, "They just drove us before. If they found out that we were following them, would we just be killed immediately?"
...The three shivered at the same time, the snow werewolf is really terrifying! When they were observing in secret, they saw a single Snow Werewolf warrior tearing a terrifying wild boar with their own eyes. It was terrifying!
"Otherwise, let's go to the south to see if the snow werewolf tribe is still there? Whether they want to migrate or not want the pastures here, we will know by just taking a look." The old goblin thought about it and said, "Although It's a bit adventurous, but it's safer to live near the snow werewolves. We hide underground and don't go to the ground when the snow werewolves are active."
Two adult goblins thought for a while and nodded in agreement—the night before. After the snow werewolf came, they couldn't even smell the scent of wild beasts when they went up for food these days. Although there is a lot of heartbeat, it is indeed much safer to survive around the tribe of the snow werewolves than in an environment surrounded by wild animals.
On the same day, it rained again on the grassland, and two adult goblins drilled out of the hole again, trying to gather and hunt a lot of food. After dawn and the sky started to rain the next day, the two adult goblins carried a small amount of food, bid farewell to the tribe, and quietly followed the trajectory of the snow werewolf who ran up at midnight.
The rain will dilute their smell, and when the rain stops, they will hide in the tree hole. Relying on the cover of rain, they ran the 80-kilometer journey in three days and came to the area where the snow werewolves were frequent.
Goblins have a keen sense of smell and the top perception ability necessary for survival instincts as weak creatures. Once they enter the snow werewolf's activity zone, they feel the difference...There are almost no traces of wild beasts and beasts around, except for the calls of insects and birds. You can't hear the roar of the beast at all-this is very rare on the grassland, especially at night when the predator activity peaks.
Of course... the faint, if there is no such thing as the snow werewolf aura is also very frightening. Before seeing the snow werewolf tribe, the two goblins were almost scared to go home.
"Huh?"
Hongye sweating on the artificial river construction site suddenly straightened up and looked suspiciously to the northwest.
"Did you smell it too? Is there a foul smell that resembles a beast but not so much?" Ashan wiped his sweat with his hoe.
"I always feel that this disgusting smell has been smelled somewhere." Hongye sniffed, uncertainly.
Xiao Yun put down the vine basket that transported soil and rocks in his hand with sweaty, and looked over in surprise: "Really, there are things that even you all find stinky?"
Ashan did not respond, Hongye was very upset: "I am very clean! Very clean!" She could understand Ayun's deep meaning and disliked him for talking about she is not pay attention of hygiene!
"I didn't say anything." Xiao Yun pretended to be innocent, and immediately changed the subject, "Is the source of that odor dangerous, or I should go to someone to drive it away?"
"Where should I smell this smell before... strange, I can't think of it." Hongye shook the mud on her hands, "I and Ashan went to see, I shouldn't have to go back with a bow, it's not a dangerous creature."
"Go and go back quickly." Xiao Yun waved, he was not worried at all. The combat effectiveness of these two people is only worried that they waste too much time and delay the construction period.
Ashan only knew that he nodded stupidly, Hongye turned his head again unhappy and looked over: "I won't take this opportunity to be lazy!"
Xiao Yun: "..." Is it over-pressured or something wrong? Hongye is IQ, EQ, This comprehension has grown too fast!
Looking at Uncle Ashan who still has no response, Xiao Yun felt that the pressure was not enough...
The author has something to say:
I think since goblins rely on underground caves to survive, they should be without tools. They are also good at drilling holes, so they should have claws similar to pangolins, so that they have the cost of digging through the rock layer. They cannot be shaped like long fleshy palms in Japanese RPGs or American computer games.
As an extremely weak species, it can maintain the continuity of the race. In addition to the ability to reproduce, it should also have the survival instinct to avoid danger and the intelligence within the standard range. Otherwise, such a species that would be suspicious everywhere would have been wiped out.
As for the characteristic of stealing something under cover of an emergency, it is permanent~
