38 Ferry
The horse thieves suffered heavy losses, and only the leader was wounded and fled.
This month-end battle for food in Xiaobai Village ended in the player's victory under careful planning. Without Zhan Xiaobai's command, the players cleaned up the battlefield. More than a dozen horse thieves actually dropped more than 100 copper coins and a level 10 Pu knife. Copper coins were divided among the players as loot. Pu Dao was sent to Zhan Xiaobai.
Zhan Xiaobai lamented the "wealth" of the horse thief, but on the other hand, he was helpless about the difference in strength between the two sides. If he had a strong cavalry hundred-man army, he would have made a fortune just by exterminating horse thieves. He played with the Pu knife a few times, this level 10 Pu knife +3 attack, very good, he handed it to the sword domineering casually: "This Pu knife will be given to the player with the greatest combat credit." ”
Jian Ba nodded and accepted the Pu knife.
The five military observation teams of Daqi Village couldn't help but sigh, and while admiring, they followed Zhan Xiaobai and patted their ass, "I have always heard that the Qiushui Elder of Xiaobai Village is very good, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful." She can easily command a team of two or three thousand players. If we change our Daqi ......" Khan, I'm afraid our Daqi team of 1,000 people won't be able to get together, let alone command. It's incomparable! "If we have a chance in the future, we will come to Xiaobai Village more often."
Zhan Xiaobai, Jian Ba and others laughed. These player observers in Daqi Village are really interesting, and it seems that they want to join Xiaobai Village. It's just that there is some hindrance in the identities of the two sides, and Daqi and Xiaobai are "friendly neighbors" villages, so I'm afraid it won't work in the short term.
Qiushui smiled: "The brothers of Daqi have won the prize. Being able to protect the village is safe and sound, and I don't dare to take credit for this great credit. This is all the result of the concerted efforts of Big Brother Bai, Sword Ba, Shaoxia, Ah Fei, and many brothers. ”
Sycamore also inevitably exaggerated this battle.
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and waved his hand, "Don't brag between our brothers, I think after the horse thief is frustrated this time, there should be no big moves within a month." Otherwise, most of the villages in the world will not be able to withstand that kind of crazy attack. So this time is very precious, and you will have to hurry up the time to resume construction and recruit farmers after you return to Wutong Village. If you encounter difficulties, come here and find Sword Master directly, and he will try his best to help you solve it. ”
Wutong smiled: "Brother Xiaobai, don't worry, I won't make those low-level mistakes again this time." ”
After bidding farewell to the military observation group in Daqi Village, the players of Xiaobai Village and the players of Wutong Village had an all-night celebration. A bonfire was lit in the wilderness outside the village to congratulate the successful defense of the village. There is no good food and wine, only some game can be grilled, meaning.
There are 50 acres of farmland, and it only took one day for the NPc farmers to harvest all the grain.
Li Asan reported to Zhan Xiaobai: "My lord, only the farmland in our village has been trampled and destroyed. Because a small amount of river fertilizer was added to the field, the yield per mu reached 39 catties per mu, and a total of 1,950 catties of grain were harvested. In addition, hundreds of fish can be purchased every day. If we recruit 200 peasants in one go, we need to consume 6,000 catties of grain a month, which is a huge shortfall......"
Zhan Xiaobai didn't think about it: "Increase the purchase of fish, and strive to recruit 200 farmers before February 1." ”
"I'm afraid that there won't be enough fish in the river....."
"There wasn't enough fish near the village, so I went farther and fished along the whole river." Zhan Xiaobai patted Li Asan on the shoulder and said, "I know that there are many difficulties, but it is related to the future of the village, and we must do everything we can to complete this task." ”
Li Asan saw that Zhan Xiaobai was very determined, and hurriedly said yes, so he didn't say more.
In the next few days, Xiaobai Village and Wutong Village are urgently recruiting farmers, hoping to climb the villager population to the maximum in these days. Fortunately, when the grain is planted at the beginning of next month, there is the largest number of NPc farmer labor.
In the intervening days, although the grain harvest was finished, so many peasants could not be idle, and they all went to cut wood first.
Zhan Xiaobai himself stayed in the blacksmith shop.
The disabled veteran worked in the blacksmith every day to make more than 20 sets of rough iron ploughs, which were very helpful to the peasants in plowing the fields.
Rough Iron Plow: A level 1 farming tool that increases the farmer's ploughing speed by 5%.
Zhan Xiaobai saw that he was busy, and asked curiously: "Brother, what kind of good weapons can you create with your ironwork now?" ”
The disabled veteran said: "Lord, this is my primary iron-fighting technique. Can craft the lowest farm implements and +1 crude iron weapons. However, it will be able to level up soon, and after five or six days, you will be able to upgrade to the intermediate iron fighting technique, and you can create +2 iron swords and broadswords. If you build more, you can reach advanced ironsmithing in about a month, and create +3 weapons and armor. The soldiers of our village no longer have to wear cloth clothes to the battlefield. ”
Zhan Xiaobai nodded, he will be able to use the +2 iron sword next month. I'm still not satisfied, but it's better than using a copper knife. "I'll try my best to provide you with iron ore, and my brother can build it with peace of mind."
When Zhan Xiaobai was free, he went to visit the carpenter in the village again.
The carpenter in the small village was tired during this time, and he worked day and night to make all kinds of woodware.
Zhan Xiaobai asked him if he was satisfied with his stay in the village.
The carpenter said happily: "There is a lot of work, a lot of wages, and of course the small ones are satisfied." That's right, village elder, the little beginner carpenter has long been promoted to the intermediate level, and he is rushing to the advanced carpenter skill. Last time, you asked Mr. Li to ask about the shipbuilding of the ferry. If you think about it, it should be no problem to build a few small boats that can carry 2 people now. ”
Zhan Xiaobai was very happy to hear that the carpenter had been promoted to the intermediate level. However, he was not satisfied with the boat: "2 people is too little, if it is a raft, how many people can it carry?" ”
The carpenter replied: "I can build a large raft that can carry up to eight people at a time, but this kind of raft is not as stable as a small boat, and it is easy to capsize in the rapids, so it is not easy to operate." ”
Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "It's just used to ferry a small river, and it can't be overturned." Let's build a big raft first, so that we can transport people faster. If you are free for the next two days, I will ask Elder Ah Fei to take you to the river to build a ferry, what do you think? ”
The carpenter hurriedly said, "If you have time, you can build it." ”
Zhan Xiaobai called Ah Fei and asked him to bring some brothers, carpenters, and a few farmers. Go to the river and choose a good location to build a ferry. Ah Fei agreed and led the carpenter and the others to go.
