Chapter 59 Wait a Moment

The remnant snow on the ground has not yet been cleared, and the snow werewolf's tribe vigorously launched a land reclamation campaign.

A dozen one-ton pure iron triangular plows pulled a deep plough line on the land on the south bank of the river, and the steel coulters casted after thousands of hammers pierced into the hard soil due to the weight of the plow body. When the plow body is pulled, the rough burnt soil layer is planed and overturned by the neatly arranged coulters.

The yellow and black ground surface is dragged by the plow body, as if it has been smeared by a paintbrush, piece by piece. Into a uniform deep black. The sturdy curvy horns can drag heavy plows, or become wolf-shaped snow werewolves. Large areas of ground that have been thrown for many years are turned over, soil blocks and weeds are cut and broken, and insects hidden in the soil. Eggs of insects and grass seeds were also ruthlessly turned out to be baptized by the cold wind in late winter and early spring.

"Workers who want to do well must first sharpen their tools." Standing on the bank of the river, Xiao Yun refreshedly scanned a circle of wasteland reclamation sites with less labor and efficiency than last year. It's a good idea to make a plow without a tractor, science and technology tree. Depending on the situation, our manpower is more than enough to drive this piece of land."

Before the burnout, everyone has picked up the rocks on the surface of the fruit on the south bank. At the moment it was all piled on the bank of the river. Caogen patriarch sat on the ground panting, and wiped her sweat. "But we don't have enough soil and fertilizer. There is no way to sprinkle as much fertilizer as the original field." 　　

"It doesn't matter. Even if the crops are planted and the harvest is small, the losses will not go far. Plow the land well, add the base fertilizer again, repair the water canals that should be repaired, and the rest will follow." Xiao Yun said. With such a good black land and such convenient water resources, even if there is no way to cultivate and plant intensively, the yield of alfalfa can always be 1500 catties per mu, and soybeans cannot be lower than last year. Alfalfa and soybeans themselves can fertilize the fields. After planting for one or two years, this raw land will become mature. It doesn't matter whether you have to grow wheat or use water to grow paddy fields nearby, you will not be at a loss.

The adult snow werewolf dragged the plow with a curved horn or went up to drag the plow by himself. The cubs followed and picked up the rubble. The gray dwarves also came on standby. Pre-repair...After all, it is a plow body cast by a "small workshop" and a hand-cast coulter. Standardization and accuracy are impossible to count on. The five coulters lined up on a split plow are very useful. Maybe the screws have to be divided into several numbers...

The group of people who squatted to rest on the bank of the river were relieved, and one after another came off to replace the clansmen. Hongye turned into a wolf and jumped over, replacing Oxhorn with his tongue out.　　

There is no division of labor during busy farming hours. All those who have labor have to contribute. Even Caogen and the four earthworm raisers have to come and rotate, so Oxhorn naturally have to leave his beloved kitchen.

Not all the ground on the south bank is very level. When the land near the river is in full swing, Languo's engineering team is also working with the gray dwarves to flatten the hills of varying heights and fill up the water.

The goblins and the manuls were unable to help with this kind of heavy manual labor, so they assumed the responsibility of cooking and delivering food for the tribe. When the time came, these little guys with an average height of 1.4 meters worked together to lift the iron pot pottery. Bowls and simple wooden bridges over the wood to deliver food. With the labor experience accumulated last year, the land reclamation work this year has been quite smooth on the whole. The most troublesome thing was that when the plow was used to cross the river, I found that the wooden bridge built last year could not support it, so I relied on the snow wolf. People carried the plowed river...　　

It took half a month to open a total of 320 fields (approximately 3,200 mu) on the south bank. The residual snow completely melted, and the weeds in the wild also appeared crisp and tender buds— -Even if you can't tell the solar terms without a calendar, and feel the temperature rising to more than ten degrees, you know that spring plowing is about to officially begin.

Alfalfa should be sown early. Last year, Xiao Yun left three fields (30 mu) of alfalfa for planting until flowering and fruiting. The dwarf applied the base fertilizer, and the sowing work was performed by the rabbit and the gray dwarf. The snow werewolf once again returned the heavy plow to the north bank, ploughing the field that had been planted for a year.　　

Xiao Yun kept running statistics on the fields on the north bank and estimated the seeds. He took the time to find Hongye and Ashan to explain to them that they had to go to the Tauren tribe for rice planting. "We use pottery to exchange them with them, and don't have too many seeds. Just come with a hundred acres of rice seeds." 　　

Gave Hongye the two sets of colored pottery bowls and pottery cups that were drawn when I had free time in winter. Xiao Yun said, "Remember. Ask the tauren about the details of growing rice, the more meticulous the better, remember to come back...I know how to grow wheat, I don't know how to grow rice. Also, by the way, ask if there is any way for tauren to do it. Kill the pests in the field on the premise of harming the crops. If the tauren has a way to kill the insects, please also ask them for advice. Learn as much as you can."

Hongye nodded, Ah Shan cannot be counted on for this, she has to work hard.

Xiao Yun thought for a while, then said: "If you need it, find the wife of Saladin, the tauren sage, and teach her to use the lye extracted from plant ash to prepare noodles..."

Hongye blinked his eyes, blessed to the soul "If the tauren shows embarrassment, then don't entangle with their patriarchs and sages, go to ask Qin." 　　

Xiao Yun gave a thumbs up, he deserves to be Hongye, and her comprehension is right!　　

Sending away Hongye and Ashan, Xiao Yun continued to devote himself to endless busy work-Languo could stand alone and did relieve him a lot of pressure, but now the tribe is more troublesome, and he is still busier than last year.　　

Hongye and Ashan took the road lightly and brought the rice seeds back in half a month... Among them, Hongye squatted in the Tauren tribe for five days in order to learn from the tauren's rice seed planting techniques. Also brought back synchronously is Tauren's insect removal technology-a vine plant that looks similar to commonly used vines, but has a ring pattern of the same color on the skin, and has yellow flowers in spring, summer and autumn.

"Qin said this is called Snake Vine. Collect the petals of this Snake Vine, dry them and soak them in water, soak a small handful of water in a large bucket of water, and spray them into the field to get rid of some insects." The windy and frosty red leaves poured down in one breath. Half a pot of soup, and when she got angry, she quickly poured out what she remembered. "Saladin said that rice seeds should be planted later than wheat, and then planted when the weather is warm. The seeds should be dried before planting, and then they should be exposed to sunlight. When I choose a field as a seedbed to raise seedlings... In the rice fields, you have to catch frogs and go to the mudflats to find a gray, ugly bird with a round and flat mouth, and raise it in the rice field... …" 　　

Xiao Yun quickly took a charcoal pen and wrote down the hard-working experience of Hongye. The more he remembered, the more he felt that something was wrong—how did it sound familiar?

Should the tauren and the Chinese be interplanetary relatives?　　

Hongye talked for more than half an hour and poured out the knowledge she had memorized for five days.

The whole person suddenly seemed to be collapsed, and he had to rely on Ashan to reluctantly sit upright. Xiao Yun packed up the cloth roll he had written down and turned back to look at the snake vine: "Did Qin say where to find this kind of vine?"

Before Hongye spoke, Ashan said: "When we went to the beach to boil salt, I've encountered it on the road, that is, the water soaks the woods, where the water is still beautiful, and the surrounding area is so big!"

Xiao Yun didn't react for a while.

Hongye straightened his arms to support his body: "I said Ayun doesn't remember it anymore. We never remembered seeing this snake vine."

"Really, Ayue caught the snake there, and Ayun roasted it that night. Snake meat for us to eat!" Ashan anxiously patted his thigh.

Xiao Yun only vaguely remembered this when he heard the snake meat. He remembered that the place where Ayue caught the snake was a large area of yellow flowers. At that time, he looked at it and found that it was not a chrysanthemum or rape flower, so he ignored it... Thought about it he can't remember whether the yellow flower grew on the vine or grows into a clump.　　

"Uncle, do you really remember? The yellow flowers there grow on this snake vine?" 　　

"Oh, that's the flower that grows on this vine, exactly the same as this one!" Ah Shan was very angry and patted his thigh again.　　

Xiao Yun and Hongye looked at each other, and then looked at Ashan, both of them looked very strange... Ashan must not be a nonsense person, but just a quick glance at him will remember him now. Why is it so unbelievable? !　　

"Um...Uncle, do you remember the rice planting experience Saladin taught Hongye?" Xiao Yun tried to ask.　　

"How can I remember that long!" Ashan confidently said.　　

"Uh... should the rice seed be planted earlier or later than the wheat?" Xiao Yun pretended to ask Hongye and looked at Ashan. "Late sowing." Ashan said, "When the weather is warm, sow the rice seeds. Dry the seeds before planting. Do not pick out those that are not full. The seedling beds should be placed in well-lit places..." He explain so many places were more detailed than Hongye. After finishing talking, he looked at Hongye, "Did Saladin say that at the time?"

Hongye looked at him with a dull face.　　

Xiao Yun also looked at him blankly.

"Uncle, if we have six steamed cakes, you and Hongye share it with each other. How many steamed cakes can one person share?" Xiao Yun swallowed.　　

"Hmm..." Ashan lowered his head and pulled his finger.　　

"Uncle, can you remember that when we were in the tauren tribe last year, you and Hongye chased Shire back. What clothes did he wear at that time?" Xiao Yun asked again.　　

"Squirrel leather clothes with belts on the neckline and rabbit leather pants. The rabbit leather was not processed properly and had several holes in it. Later, Ayun you threw it into the fire and burned it." Ashan immediately reported it.　　

Xiao Yun & Hong Ye: "..." 　　

"Ashan, Qingyan gave you two wild fruits. I asked you for one, and you gave Ayun another one. How many wild fruits are left in your hand?" Hong Ye asked.　　

"Uh..." Ashan lowered his head and pulled his finger.　　

"..." Hong Ye's dull face turned to Xiao Yun.　　

"..." Xiao Yun was expressionless.　　

"You have such a good relationship with my uncle, you don't know his characteristics at all?" Xiao Yun looked at Hongye incomprehensibly.　　

"...If you insist, he can recognize the prey that Ashan hasn't chased after a few years, doesn't it count?" Hong Ye twitched his mouth.　　

...Both of them were speechless.　　

Xiao Yun pinched his thigh, what was it for them to plan so hard and let Hongye squat and memorize it for five days!　　

"I have all the fruits for you, I don't have any." Ashan spread his hands and looked at the two innocently.　　

Xiao Yun only felt that a mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat... Uncle, biological uncle! Can't be angry, can't hate that iron can't become steel!

Jumping over Ashan, a memory talent that is powerful at first glance but seemingly useless. Xiao Yun drew a team from the busy farming army to harvest the insect-killing snake vine-press the Qin's instructions, this kind of snake vine opens. The flowers are harvested on the basis of stubble. They can be harvested in spring, summer and autumn. They bloom every 30 days. The effect is the same whether it is a failed bloom or a bud; it is very toxic, and it will itch when directly contacted with the skin. Flowers can poison a human being... you have to harvest them through leather gloves and dry them, and a handful of dried flower soaked water can spray an acre of land,

Qiu, Qingyan, Ayue, and Ashan have taken over this important task... Qiu and Qingyan are responsible for picking flowers, and Ayue, who has a more conservative character, is a bodyguard, and Ashan is responsible for leading the way and bodyguard.　　

Well, cat paws are more flexible than wolf paws. If it weren't for other adult manuls who weren't warriors, Xiao Yun would like to have more manuls to pass.　　

Bringing five days' worth of food, the four people who had no one to send off embarked on the journey—the others were so busy that they really didn't have the time to play farewell. Ashan turned into a three-person car, and found the original yellow flower field after a day of trotting...

Ashan can't be regarded as having an IQ, he still has fighting instincts, hunting instincts, and so on. Once he knows the direction, he won't get lost, instinctively. Can find the nearest way. This yellow flower field is quite domineering.

The snake vines that grow close to the ground squeeze the growth space of other plants. Wherever there are yellow flowers, you can't see the green. Ashan put the three people down, turned them back into human form, and took them out and put them in a leather bag. Compared with the vines growing on the ground with yellow flowers, the samples of snake vines have taller breasts.　　

Ayue&Qingyan&Qiu: "??" 　　

"I said that here are all snake vines!" Ashan said.　　

"Ah, how about it?" The three of them looked blank.　　

Ashan: "..." I was very discouraged, and silently put on pants, trousers, and leather gloves made by the cubs, dragged up the leather bags, and picked yellow flowers with the three of them. Snake garcinia yellow flowers have no fragrance. They are clearly blooming quite vigorously without attracting bees and butterflies. On the contrary, there are many large and small snakes that shuttle between the vines.

When Ayue picks the flowers, he remembers the snake meat roasted by Ayun last year, and there is a snake swim. When he reached his feet, he caught it, twisted the snake's head off, and threw it to the place where the luggage was stacked outside. Qiu, with the most dexterous hands and feet, was the first to pick it up. He was not surprised when he came out to change the bag. He hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Don't catch Ayue, there are so many, you can't grab and take it back." 　　

"It's okay Qiuqiu ," Let's bake it." Ayue said.　　

"..." Qiu had no expression on his face, so his name was changed forcibly, right?... But Dashui had hit the cub by name, he didn't hit the name with anyone!

The bag brought was a little and a half, and it was getting dark. Looking for a place that was protected from the wind, Ayue really cut the snake he caught and cut it into sections, and took the wooden sticks through it and put it on the side of the fire to bake...

Overnight in the wild, everyone can't sleep loudly. People should stay vigil. After Ayue sleeps three times, Ashan puts his long arch on his back and strolls out of the temporary camp to patrol the surrounding area.　　

There are wandering warcrafts on the grassland. Some top beasts and snow werewolves have to flee from the wind, guarding the camp and waiting for the wandering warcrafts to get close before waking up others. It will be too late. There are large snake vines nearby. There are no insects around here, and naturally there are no disturbing insects. Apart from the sound of my own footsteps, there is only the occasional beast roar from the distant jungle, which draws Ashan to the west from time to time. Looking back... If this is near the tribe, he must run around there to see if he can catch a big guy.　　 After patrolling slowly into the middle of the night, Ashan suddenly heard an extremely small sound, which seemed to be a collision of iron objects.　　

"...Huh?" 　　

Ashan crouched and listened carefully. A gust of wind was coming from the southeast. This time he heard a "knock" sound of gold and iron.

Most of the misfortunes were caused by the merchant ships' weapons that were leaked at the beach last year, and now there is still a small part of them still insisting. Ashan's belt is tied to a long sword that was broken and turned into a dagger. He is still familiar with this sound, immediately. Squat down, hide in the grass, touch your toes, and dive briskly in the direction of the sound.　　

The more you go to the southeast, the more frequent the sound of metal and iron crows. When Ah Shan quietly climbed up a mound, hid behind a stone and looked down, he was surprised to find that there were many people!

Humanity!　　

Sal's family!　　

Take a closer look, these people are not like Thrall, they are fatter than Thrall, and they dress much better than Thrall.

…Uh, what Thrall wears are provided by the Snow Werewolves. If you want to say that the vulgar is ugly...　　

A distance of five or six hundred meters, Ashan, with good eyesight, saw two groups of human beings meeting each other with swordsmen. One side is wearing a neat metal armor with a lot of people, and the other side wears everything. There are few people, but the lesser side seems to be the dominant side, but the more side is pressed and beaten.

Ashan looked at it curiously for a while. The more humans seemed to be unable to withstand it. The line began to retreat. A protected brightly dressed person seemed to shout something, and a group of people hurried towards retreat in the distance.　　

The few human beings who wore everything stood in place, and hurriedly left when the large group of people walked away.　　

The two humans left in the opposite direction to their temporary camp. Ashan lay on the spot, and waited until both sides walked out of sight, before jumping out and running to the place where they were fighting.

The vegetation was in a mess, and there were still a lot of blood stains on the ground and weeds. Ashan sniffed his nose, showed his claws, bent down and plowed the soil to cover these blood stains... The smell of blood at night will be very radiated by the wind. Far away, what if it causes a troublesome big guy!　　

Voluntarily cleaned the battlefield, Ashan continued to patrol, and turned over with Ayue after dawn, only then did he find a place near Huanghuayuan to lie down and sleep.　　

They collected it this day, and the bag I brought was filled with most of it, and I can pick it up in another day and pack it back to the tribe. After the sky darkened, I still returned to the temporary camp where there were big rocks to block the wind. Ayue continued to roast the snake meat, Qingyan and Qiu rubbed each other's waist, and Ashan took out the enoki mushrooms wrapped in leaves and added them to the pot. Here, all of a sudden, four warriors each busy turning their heads and looking in the same direction.　　

"Human smell?" Qingyan said with his nose.　　

"There is still a bloody smell, very weak." Qiu frowned.　　

Ashan found that the smell seemed to be those people he saw last night, and quickly grabbed the longbow and jumped up: "Qingyan and I will go over and take a look, Ayue, look at things with Qiuqiu." 　　

"Huh?" Ayue was stunned.

"I saw two groups of humans fighting on the southeast side last night. This is one of them. They have weapons and are very fierce," Ashan explained. Apart from the caravan, the snow werewolf rarely encounters humans, so naturally there is no hatred, but Ashan remembered that they had met with blood when they fought with each other.　　

Ayue remembered that the merchant ship of the elves was caught by the sea last year, and nodded to Ashan show that he understood.

Qingyan jumped up and ran with Ashan, curiously: "How come there are humans in this place? The caravan doesn't go here? They still fight?" 　　

"Well, there was blood over there, I buried it in the past. "Ashan said.　　

"They don't cover up the smell of blood? Are they seriously injured?" Qingyan was surprised, except for being seriously injured and weak, who would expose the smell of blood casually.

It's not like you've been seriously injured? I don't understand either." Ashan was puzzled.　　

Ashan is very fast, Qingyan is faster, the two ran in tandem for more than two minutes, passing through a sparse piece of wood, and ran into a human who was walking in the direction of their temporary camp.

The group of people was still a hundred meters away from the small forest. They seemed to be hesitating to go through or go around. They suddenly looked up and found two people one is black and one is white, rushing out of the forest... Uh, half-naked man, shortly surprised.

The cry immediately sounded several times. "This, this is, an elf? No, it's not an elf, cat tribe?!"

The woman in the team wearing a robe with riding boots and a strange peaked top hat cried out in surprise and joy: "Great, we found the steppe tribe　　

"Wait, it seems that there is only one cat clan." The man wearing half-length armor and carrying a shield reached out his hand to stop his companion, and his puzzled eyes swept across Ashan and Qingyan.

"The black one is the cat clan, and the white one is the cat clan. That...the cat clan's ears don't seem to be like this?" As soon as Ashan and Qingyan came out, they found that these humans were not hostile, but the smell of blood on them was indeed very heavy. They looked at each other immediately...

They all know how to deal with caravans, but these humans obviously don't have a caravan with cargo.

At this time, the man with a shield and a body that looked like Ashan stepped forward and waved to the two of them: "Hello, we are mercenaries hired by the merchant group. We come to the grassland to find a new business route. We don't have any hostility, can you talk to you about it?" 　　

Ashan put down his longbow hand and tilted his head: "What do you want to do?" 　　

"We are looking for a grassland tribe. Of course, we are definitely not enemies. The people who hire us want us. I can find a prairie tribe willing to trade." The man showed a harmless smile and took a half step forward carefully. "Can I talk to you a little closer? I'll come here alone."

Ashan looked at Qingyan blankly. .

"..." Qingyan knew that Ashan was slow to understand things, so he had to stand up, "Yes." 　　

The human man walked a few steps forward and approached the two with a smile on his face. Although he behaved very naturally, Qingyan still found this guy. The body deliberately leaned to his side, and his left elbow was slightly facing outwards, as if to guard against Ashan...

"My name is Dan Crowdy, and I am the leader of this mercenary group. We are here to help our employer find a prairie tribe to do business." Dan smiled very sincerely and enthusiastically, "Our employer is the ultimate human kingdom. A reputable merchant group can provide more goods than the current prairie caravans... But what is bad is that, except for the current prairie caravans, almost no humans have set foot in the hinterland of the prairie, so we unfortunately lost our way... It's rude, can I ask the names of the two?"

Qingyan stared at the man for a while, then looked at the other human beings waiting behind and couldn't help but probe their heads here, and felt that this group of people—seems not to be. What a threat!　　

Force? Human beings want to threaten the non-existence of the snow werewolf tribe!　　

Brainpower? A certain cub flashed in his mind... The green dragon was slumped, and Qingyan really didn't think this group of people could take advantage.

After some calculations, Qing Yan nodded and pointed to herself: "My name is Qingyan, a family of black panthers." Pointing to Ashan with a blank face, "Ashan, snow werewolf." 　　 "Snow werewolf!" Dan Crowdy's expression changed drastically. Shocked and horrified, both eyes immediately clung to Ashan. Ashan & Qingyan: "??" 　　

Then Qingyan saw the man who was short for no reason, bends over his chest, bows his knees, and the smiley on his face pulls trivially and flatteringly.

It took him a few times before he took out a gold embroidered piece from the half body a delicate bag of thread, hands under Ashan's nose, a pair of eyes as if he wanted to peel and eat Ashan into his abdomen, barely concealing his desire to bare fruit: "My name is Dan Crowdy, Kingdom Knight, the first heir to the Crowdy family, young, rich and powerful... Mr. Ashan, would you like to be a lifelong companion of a knight? I swear, I will treat you better than my wife, my children, and my father. Also kiss!" 　　

Ashan: "??" 　　

Qingyan: "..." You, wait!
