Chapter 16: Ghosts

The warm sun shines on the soft earth, and the breeze in the canyon blows slowly, as if lingering around, gently taking away the heat emitted, and walking through the layers of rippled lake, full of leisure.

A small shoot emerges from the ground, eager to breathe in the fresh air, and Alice's astonished gaze shows that the freshly planted bread tree seed sprouts after being watered.

"Brother, brother, look, the seed has sprouted!" It was a very happy thing to see the seeds she had planted with her own hands germinate, and at this moment Alice was like a lively lark.

"Alice did a great job, the water you watered the seeds made him grow faster. ”

"Really, then I'm going to water the little bread tree every day!" Alice, encouraged by the thunder, curled the corners of her mouth into a small crescent, which was the joy of being affirmed.

"Of course it's true. ”

Thunder Ming affirmed without restraint that if the bread trees had not deceived him, then the seed would grow to the point of producing breadfruit in seven days, so it would grow very quickly.

It can be seen that the seeds of the bread tree are constantly growing, even if this growth rate seems slow to the eye, but after a while, it is obvious that the little bread tree has grown taller again. Lei Ming's eyes burned as he looked at the small sapling that had been half a human tall in a short period of time, and he felt a powerful life energy lurking in the dirt, and a new life was about to open his eyes.

"Take care of this little sapling, someone must keep an eye on it all the time! This is the most valuable thing in the territory!" "Lei Ming summoned Qi Lin and asked Qi Lin to arrange someone to protect the little bread tree, although the little bread tree is not so delicate, but it is always better for someone to look at it.

"Yes!" Qi Lin's heart froze, and he could hear from the calm tone of the thunder that the lord valued the little sapling, because the lord emphasized that the little sapling was the most valuable thing in the realm, and he accepted the order without any nonsense, and at the same time secretly decided that at least two people should take care of the little sapling at all times.

Lei Ming walked to the people who were preparing to sow seeds, he saw that these people were about to sow the wheat seeds directly, he immediately stopped them, and reminded them: "We must pull out the grass roots in the land, there is so much fertility in the field, if a lot of weeds take away a lot of these wheat yields will be very low, these grass roots can be pulled out and thrown into the lake, used to feed the fish is very good." ”

In fact, Lei Ming also wants to remove the grass seeds in the land, but it is very difficult, if there are some chickens there it is easy, but unfortunately, when fleeing, poultry like chickens and ducks are directly used as food, after all, it is very troublesome to take chickens and ducks.

Those people were stunned for a moment, stopped the movements in their hands, chewed carefully, and felt that the lord's words were very reasonable, in the past, when they planted, they just sowed the seeds, at most they pulled out some when they saw too much grass, after all, they were too busy, they had to raise chickens and ducks, hunt, deal with miscellaneous labor, and of course, they had to get together for entertainment.

Lei Ming just nodded, and after the wheat germinated, he would organize people to weed and fertilize, he knew that these ordinary people did not have the consciousness of intensive cultivation, and almost every one of them had other jobs.

The power of the whole territory to operate is enormous, before the sun goes down, a total of four wooden walls have been built on two sides, and at the same time two rudimentary guard towers have been built, the height is only about the same as the wooden wall, less than four meters, just a few pillars support a boxy wooden platform, standing on which you can at least see the situation in the enclosed camp clearly.

In the afternoon, in addition to cutting trees and nailing stakes, the rest of the people mainly went to sow seeds, and there was not much food in the territory, although there were a large number of rabbits and fish to replenish, but the food was the most important, without the harvest of food, the territory could not support for long.

The effect is also obvious, all the cultivated land has been sown, and tomorrow there will be at least another day to plant, and Lei Ming is ready to scatter all the several carts of grain in the original caravan, and for the time being, he will rely on black bread as the staple food.

At the same time, there were also schools of fish, and the roots of a cart were thrown into the lake, which quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the fish to grab food, and then fished a net, and the harvest was better than the previous nets, enough to drink delicious fish soup at night.

When the forest trolls returned to the tribe, Lei Ming generously filled each of them with a box of salt blocks, and agreed to let another group of trolls come to help tomorrow, the weight of six boxes of salt blocks added up to half a cart, but the quality is not as good as that for the troll prophet, these condensed together some yellowed salt blocks are very different from refined salt, but they are also good things for trolls, most of the salt blocks used in this era are like this, only nobles are eligible to enjoy refined salt.

Many of the unqualified timber was used by the carpenters, and the first to bear fruit was the enclosures and wooden sheds of the livestock, and even the troughs were ready, and these simple peasants valued these animals more than their own lives, preferring to arrange the livestock before considering building them their own wooden houses.

Tomorrow, if the planting goes well, there may be a chance to build a few wooden houses before the sun sets, and the wood for the main wooden houses may be ready tomorrow, after all, most men are cutting down trees.

The delicious fish soup wafted out a strong aroma, the beige soup made people can't help but swallow their saliva when they saw it, there were a lot of fish caught today, everyone was able to drink a few bowls of fish soup, plus a few pieces of fresh fish, plus the reconstruction of the home is going very well, everyone has a bright smile on their faces, and they firmly believe that tomorrow will be better.

"Brother, the little bread tree is already taller than me!" Alice chewed the rough black bread vigorously, her little face bulging, and happily shared her joy with Thunder, she had been taking care of the little bread tree all afternoon, including the weeds around the little bread tree, which she had uprooted, and she had tactfully refused the help of others, all of whom she had done alone.

"Oh, is Alice ready to pick breadfruit? Thunder joked appropriately.

"But Alice can't climb trees......" Alice was excited, then frustrated.

"It's okay, my brother will teach you. Lei Ming easily agreed to Alice, the bread tree is only about five meters high, even if it is not difficult to erect a circle of wooden fences.

Lei Ming concentrated on nibbling on the rabbit meat in his hand, his appetite has increased dramatically now, and he can't fill his stomach with some black bread, there is fish and meat today, and only professionals can eat half a rabbit because of the large amount of food.

Whether it's fish or rabbits, you won't eat too much in the future, you can't eat all the rabbits and fish, yesterday's wanton capture of rabbits has scared the group of timid creatures to escape, and now they all rely on traps to catch some, and then rush to the grass to catch them frantically, I'm afraid I will have to walk a long way to see the rabbits.

At night, Lei Ming lay on a freshly woven straw mat, wrapped in a quilt and looked at the bright starry sky, the quilt was warm after the sun had been basked in the daytime, Alice slept next to him, and there were several bonfires burning around him to ward off the cold of the night.

After waiting for a while, the sleeping Alice woke up with her head in her arms, her face was very pale, and the feeling of headache made her very uncomfortable, Lei Ming had not slept because he estimated that his sister's headache was going to attack again today, so he waited until midnight.

Alice didn't say a word, her lips trembled and her body curled up, Lei Ming was so distressed that he hugged her in his arms, every time he saw his sister have a headache, his heart was like a knife, and he still had no choice.

Only by becoming a mage, warlock, or priest can solve Alice's headache, Lei Ming suspects that Alice's mental power is chaotic, so there will be mental conflicts every once in a while, resulting in headache attacks, if these chaotic mental powers can be channeled, Alice's condition will improve or even fully recover.

Alice's headache lasted for a long time, the campfires around her were gradually extinguished, and the whole camp became more and more quiet, except for the thunder, only about five people were still awake, they had to take turns at night, two of them sat on the platform of the watchtower and watched around, and from time to time the eyes of the two of them focused on the small sapling not far away, which was the main task assigned to them by Kirin, and three patrolled around the camp with torches.

Alice survived the headache and quickly fell asleep, turning over from time to time and sleeping unsteadily.

The early morning fog drifted from the lake towards the camp, and although several members of the patrol guard added firewood to several campfires in the camp, the whole camp was hazy under the fog, and only a faint outline could be seen.

A white figure drifted towards the camp with the mist, and a total of five night watchmen did not notice it, and it was late at night, and the bouts of sleepiness that hit them greatly reduced their vigilance, and with it, there was a murmur as delicate as a breeze.

Lei Ming was also very sleepy because he had been guarding Alice for such a long time, and he dimly felt some slight noises in the camp, and he was half-asleep and half-awake as if it was convenient for someone to get up at night, and he didn't even open his eyes.

A diminutive lord followed the spectre that was looking around the camp without realizing it, and he was controlled to walk towards the lake, where several night watchmen did not notice him, and the fog was so good that he was hidden.

The murmur of sympathy sounded softly by the lake, and the lord walked towards the white ghost with his eyes closed, and if he could see the ghost's face, he would surely find that the delicate face was full of excitement......
