What was once a barren hunting passage has been transformed into a thriving farmland and a noisy construction site.

The woman and child with the woven straw hat weeded all the way along the gap between the corn seedlings and the corn seedlings, leaving behind the rows of corn seedlings that were not neat but looked quite energetic.

In one direction close to the swamp, thousands of acres of various vegetables and fruits are horizontal, and the rows grow quite gratifyingly.

The planned location of the western and northern walls of the city wall was dug out of the ground, and countless people were busy wielding tools and pushing carts and wheelbarrows.

A section of the fence has been built, and many people are filling it with earth and ramming it with wooden stakes.

Outside the fence, stacks of cement lay at intervals. This is Lin Ji saw thousands of tons of cement in the mixing yard outside the small city, and directly forked it out with a forklift. The cement may not be enough to build a full city, but it is enough to build the herds to the west and north.

Both sides are where you will be facing the herd, so they need to be particularly strong.

As for the other two sides and the other buildings in the city, Lin Rui was going to try to burn some of them himself. Not so fast anyway.

The excavator in the forest trail is already driving decently. At least dig it all at once, and he won't gnaw at the dog again, and he won't suddenly crook his claws, but his whole body is now a big circle. And because I'm too busy, I've become a little thin.

From the north, several deer knights came galloping in, with green flags flying behind them.

"No trace of the enemy was found." The knight slowed down, approached the forest from the crowd, and reported loudly.

"Good work. Can go back. Lin Ji replied and sent these people away.

On the defensive line to the north, there are now only 500 men. These people will report the situation three times in the morning, noon and evening. There is also an emergency message from the beacon. This is to prevent the raid of the deer.

The arrival of these people almost means that it is now lunchtime.

Lin Ji put off the fire and threw down his gloves, greeted the surroundings, and went in the direction of the eating shed. Today I ate a jerky batter, and a few vegetable leaves on top of it will be done.

Lin Ji squatted aside, and not long after, more than a dozen leaders gathered.

Lin Ji took a sip of batter and swallowed it hard, eager to rush to the kitchen to beat the cook. At present, there is basically only dried meat here, and people can't eat dried meat every day, so Lin Ji brought some rice and noodles from the small town to eat together. In this way, there will be enough food to eat until autumn.

These people who cook rice will only cook broth. Regardless of whether it is rice or noodles, they are all boiled in the pot with the meat for an hour. Lin Ji is so busy that he flies now, and occasionally saying a few words has no effect at all.

However, most of the surrounding leaders eat happily, and this batter is much more refreshing than the old corn.

Lin Ji rolled his eyes, scooped up the jerky and chewed it, and got down to business: "For so long, there has been no news from Jilu, and I haven't even seen anyone." Do you have any opinions? ”

I've been on the road for more than two months, and I've never seen anyone with a deer.

The people of the deer and the tiger are separated on both sides of the lake. They retreat north in winter, lest they be accidentally injured by the tigers. But in spring and summer, they usually come to the lake to fish. Now the forest trails also allow people to enter the lake to fish, and by the way, monitor the movements of the deer.

However, the people in the lake have not seen the appearance of the deer. Of course, fishermen did not dare to go too far north for fear of misunderstanding. But this time they didn't meet, so it was a little strange.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one could tell why.

Qian Mian put down his rice bowl and said, "Why don't I go to the north and have a look?" ”

He was born as a savage, with an ugly face, and as long as he took off his clothes, he could approach the deer like a savage.

This proposal was quite exciting. There was a plan to set up a sharp barracks to find out the battlefield. Although work in this area has already begun, the results have not yet been achieved. For example, there is no one who has found the deer doing at the moment.

If Qian Mian can go deep behind enemy lines and find out the plans of the deer, this will be of great benefit to the entire construction and deployment.

Lin Ji hesitated: "That's a good idea, but do you want to send someone else?" You've been involved in hunting, and we're afraid that the mushroom picker will recognize you. ”

Qian Mian feints that he will hunt well and be paid a ten-master. Later, when recruiting people, he performed brilliantly and became a centurion. His face was obviously ugly, and Lin Ji's worries were not unreasonable.

Qian Mian smirked: "At that time, I was just an ordinary warrior, and I never went to the Tiger Aman's big tent at all. How would she recognize me? And when I was single, I also went to the deer, and I was somewhat familiar with the terrain, so I was good to go. ”

Lin Ji nodded: "Then you pay attention to your own safety." ”

Qian Mian didn't eat a small meal, and immediately stripped himself naked, and exchanged his pants for a tattered animal skin with a tigery old man.

Lin Ji saw that he was so anxious, so he said, "No matter what, let's finish eating before leaving?" We also have to negotiate your route of entry and retreat, so that we do not take care of each one. ”

Qian Mian pretended to look at the food in the bowl, swallowed his saliva, but said, "I can't eat it." I'm too strong now to look like a savage. I'm hungry and I'll look for something to eat in the wild. ”

When Lin Ji heard this, his heart was much more relaxed. also glanced at him invisibly. He can think of this kind of detail, and he is definitely a genius who does undercover.

"Then tell me, how do you want to get there?" Lin Ji asked.

Qian Mian pretended to look at the other side and said, "I want to bring a companion over, and Qizi agrees." ”

"Whoever you want, go."

Qian Mian pretended to be ordered, ran not far away, and not long after, he brought the black jackal who was reluctant to scatter the bowl, and said to Lin Ji: "Qizi, I'll take him." This boy knows the way in the swamp, and we get through it. ”

The jackal was one of the children rescued in the swamp and is now a baby elephant soldier. Every three or two days, people from the tribe will send supplies or communications here. Now there are not enough bighorn deer, so sometimes they send a few of their older baby elephant soldiers to run errands. He hadn't been here for long.

The black jackal's batter had already sprinkled a lot, and when he arrived in front of Lin Ji, he still held on to his rice bowl: "You have to let me finish the meal whatever you want me to do, right?" ”

Qian Mian pretended to smile: "We are in the swamp, why are you eating so much?" ”

The black jackal was stunned and put down the bowl. looked at Qian Mian again, and he was already full of vigilance. It's as if the wolf boy in the swamp has returned.

Lin Ji was relieved and told him the purpose. The black jackal nodded in response, but pointed to the money and asked, "He won't eat me, right?" ”

Qian Mian smiled and patted the black jackal's short hair, and said, "You take off your clothes first, and get ready to leave." We Ji Lin don't eat people now, don't think about it. ”

The black jackal stripped himself naked in disbelief, and Qian Mian pretended to borrow another straw skirt to put on him.

The black jackal relaxed his vigilance slightly, but Qian Mian suddenly hugged him and pressed his head to the side of the fire. It was as if he was going to roast him raw.

The jackal screamed and struggled, but most of his hair and eyebrows were still burned. The rest of the rest is completely invisible.

The black jackal finally broke free from Qian Mian's embrace, and when he picked up a piece of firewood, he had to find Qian Mian to fight hard. Qian Mian pretended to retreat like no one else, looking at his head and looking at him with some appreciation: "I can't see it." ”

"I'll kill you!" The black jackal pounced on Qian Mian, who turned around and ran in the direction of the swamp. The two quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lin Ji was afraid that they would go too far and delay the business, so he shouted from behind: "Black jackal, when you come back, I will give you a hat." ”
