Chapter Eighty-Four: The Moat
"Hey-ha!"
"Hey-ha!"
More than 1,000 people, naked in the bright sun, shouted cheering slogans, and struggled to widen the river under the hills, using iron tools collected from all over the city and shovels from the blacksmiths.
This is the source of a tributary of the Heishui River, which is more than a meter wide and about half a circle around the hills.
A load of dirt was dug up by the river and piled up into a mound.
Riding a plough horse, Bachelor Belton, who was patrolling back and forth, looked at it and reminded again, "Champion of the Tuohe Brigade, 32nd Squad, Runner-up, 19th Squad......"
"Fuck, it's thirty-two again. ”
Where Master Belton had just passed, one of the strongest men shook off the sweat on his body and spat fiercely, "Can't you give me some courage? As long as a team wins the championship in twenty-one days, there is a chance to elect one person to become an honorary knight, and it only takes twenty-one days, brothers!"
"Donkey, don't worry, if you don't fight for jazz, you have to fight for breath, I think the thirty-second squad is already very unhappy, when they eat at noon today, they eat the loudest, I don't know how angry it is, fuck it!
"it, brothers!"
Then, the neat shouts of the sixth squad "heyha, heyha" sounded again.
......
"Everything is under the command of the lord!" shouted a patrolling northern soldier.
"Lord Commander~Ah!" the people by the river shouted loudly.
"Long live the Lord!" the patrolling Northern soldier then shouted.
"Long live the lord~ah!" With the beat of the digging, the sixth team of twenty people continued to shout.
The patrolling northern soldiers nodded slightly, and the sixth squad also smiled reassuringly when they saw it.
Morale is also an important criterion, and the lifeless squad will be brought up separately and criticized by name at the summary meeting before the meal.
You don't want to experience the feeling of being criticized in front of more than a thousand people.
......
"Bang!" a group of women shouted loudly as they beat an iron gong, "Drink water!"
The members of the sixth squad immediately put down their shovels, rushed to the donkey cart, picked up the wooden bowls, and drank with a grunt.
"Don't drink too much, drink quickly, otherwise it will affect your work!" said the big donkey, who had finished drinking first, frowned and shouted sternly.
"Got it, got it," said the other man unconcernedly, rubbing the breasts of a woman who was delivering water a few times.
The corners of the woman's mouth rose, she gave him a blank look, then patted the man's chest and said, "If you don't hurry up, I'll find someone from Team 32 to drill into the woods." ”
"Just go, go right away," the man said flatteringly, "Big girl, what is in the water this time? ”
"What else could it be, salt, oats, beets, but it's all boiled. The big girl took the bowl back and reminded again, "and pee to go to the designated dung tank, remember, right? Don't be like yesterday, because this will be deducted again." ”
"I know, don't delay your work, you can also go to the next team. Before leaving, the man pinched the big girl's chest again, and ran back with a smile.
"Dead~!" the big girl stomped her feet, looked at the man's back, and the corners of her mouth began to rise.
"Work hard, Little Five. ”
Then, with the other women, she drove the donkey cart to the next team.
It didn't take long for the banging sound to sound again.
......
Pulling the reins of the ploughing horse, Lady Belton jumped off his horse, sat down on the ground, pulled out the ink, bit the quill, and wrote it down on the paper.
After writing for a while, he relaxed and rested on the ground for a while.
There weren't many people in the city who could write, and the lord trusted him, so he became an inspector and recorder for more than fifty squads.
He doesn't know how many times a day he has to go back and forth, which is not easy for a bachelor.
But he has nothing to complain about, the Tuohe brigade on their side is actually quite easy.
The really hard work was the river digging brigade in the other half circle, he went there once, and the atmosphere of the river digging brigade was really similar to war.
Their inspector and recorder, Rona Stau, dressed in leather armor and riding a warhorse, kept urging as if he never stopped for a moment.
Draining and digging rivers from scratch is a very hard job, so the 1,000 people of the river digging brigade are only divided into ten squads, and each team even has a noble knight leader.
Their roars were sometimes low, sometimes high, as serious as war.
The ten knights also took the lead, personally going down and working together.
The civilians in their squad were also deeply honored, even he could see the encouragement on the faces of the civilians.
......
"Fuck Jones Amber, fuck the Black Knight, fuck the Northerners!"
Jazz, who was naked, recited silently in his heart every time he dug it.
Only in this way can he keep himself from stopping.
The canonization ceremony the day before yesterday was later all turned into a personal speech by the Black Knight.
After teaching the knight who opposed him a lesson, the Black Knight not only took back his fiefdom, but also took the opportunity to attack all the remaining knights.
"I have doubts about your loyalty, courage, and ability. These are the words of the Black Knight.
"Ignore your suspicions, I was never prepared to be loyal to you. When Sir thought of this, he cursed again.
"The canonization ceremony is postponed, and until then, you have to prove yourselves to me. I'm going to give you a fair chance to play, and the three worst performers will be taken back because they don't deserve to be a Jazz anymore!" the Black Knight finally announced.
Thinking about it, compared to what he is doing now, Jazz is on fire again.
He originally thought that it was a patrol or a task to train new cavalry, but he didn't expect that it would end up digging a moat with a group of untouchables.
Seven layers of hell, to start from scratch, dig a moat nearly ten meters wide.
Although it was originally farmland and the soil was relatively wet, it was still extremely hard work, so he had to take off his cardigan and go naked like the untouchables.
Moreover, what is even more torturous is that he has to pretend to be extremely enthusiastic, shouting those damn slogans, otherwise as long as he slows down for a while, several patrolmen in the north will stare in his direction as if they were shooting knives.
"Long live the lord!" shouted Sir 'excitedly', cursing silently in his heart, "I swear that sooner or later, I will throw your head into those dung tanks." ”
......
"Brothers, we'll work harder later," a slightly older knight encouraged the nearly 100 people around him during the interval between drinking water, "I was also named a knight by the lord because I was never lazy in my work." ”
"You work hard, and you have a chance to make a jazz. And when the time comes, I can testify to you, and the new feudal fields will also be divided into others. ”
"Sir, we believe in you!"
"By the way, we've all heard of your reputation, and in the end, there is nothing to close the field, we just need to do our best and not drag the child back. ”
"I'm a bachelor, but I'm satisfied. I have water to drink, food to eat, twenty copper plates a day to take, and what else to say. ”
"The lord is a good man!" said a man sincerely.
"Of course, my mother-in-law and I are both working for the lord, and the salary is paid every day. I'm not afraid of your jokes, the family had money left over for the first time last night, and my mother-in-law cried excitedly all night, saying that in order to pay tribute to the lord, she wanted to have another baby, named Jones."
"That's what my woman said!"
"Okay! That's it, everyone's child will be called Jones from now on. ”
A few men said happily.
