A group of villagers stared at the more than a thousand kobold slaves by the reed pond, their eyes full of amazement.

Several of the dogs in the village barked wildly at the kobold slaves, but after barking for a while, their barking gradually weakened.

The kobold slaves dried their fluff on the bonfire and ate a meal of raw cassava before Andrew drove them into the dry reed pond, where they plucked the reeds with both hands and carried them out in bundles, the more than a thousand kobold slaves probably suffered under the whips of the slave traders, and the native warriors of the Nanai tribe stood on the shore with a leather whip, and let these kobold slaves work honestly.

The reeds and haystacks were piled up, and the villagers began to sit in the open space by the reed pond, first peeling off the leaves of the dry reeds, and then flattening the reeds with stone grinds, and then some villagers in the village who were skilled in weaving reed mats began to demonstrate to everyone.

According to the old village chief's requirements, these mats don't need to be exquisite, it doesn't matter if they are rough, but they must be strong.

As if by magic, the reed mats under the villagers grew longer and longer, and then more and more villagers joined in weaving mats.

In Vol Village, basically every villager can weave reed mats, which is nothing more than some people are skilled, and some people have rough craftsmanship. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's almost there, because these mats were prepared by the old village chief for these kobold slaves, and the old village chief asked people to build a row of low frames out of logs next to the yellow sheepfold at the entrance of the village, and then surrounded these woven mats around the frame, and soon set up a row of temporary sheds.

In the early spring, the wind was very cold at night on this side of the barren land, and the old village chief felt that even if these kobolds were slaves, they should also live in houses that could shelter them from the wind and rain, especially when he saw that there were old and young kobold slaves, although he didn't say anything, but he didn't agree with Surdak's practice of buying slaves.

After the low hut was erected, the old village chief placed these kobold slaves in, and originally wanted to build a fence around the perimeter of the shed, but the wood in the village's carpenter's workshop was very limited, and if you want to fence it, you can go to the forest of Oak Ridge to pick up some branches.

Highlandsa has a large area of oak mountains, these oak forests belong to the territory of some nobles in the city of Highlandsa, and the ownership of the output in them belongs to these nobles, but as long as they do not steal the acorns produced, do not hunt in the oak forests casually, and simply pick up some dead branches, mushrooms and chestnuts, the noble lord will not bother with these poor villagers.

As a group of women squatted at the entrance of the village, tending to the piles of cassava, old Sheila sat with little Peter and the other children under the dead trees at the entrance of the village, quietly watching the women clean the cassava, which was very easy to store and kept in a cool place and would not rot for a few weeks.

The women of the village are no strangers to cassava, and in the years of famine, the villagers inevitably want to eat some.

Surdak called over the native Andrew of the Nanai tribe, the ogre Gulitham, the half-elven archer, and the succubus Aphrodite and introduced them to the old village chief and the young people of the village.

Andrew was wearing a full metal armor and carrying two large axes behind him, and he was full of murderous energy, looking like the kind of fierce warrior who walked down from the battlefield, and the young people in the village even felt lighter when they faced Andrew.

Samira, the half-elf archer, wears salamander leather armor, which sets off Samira's slender figure beautifully.

Although the half-elven archers did not lift their hoods, a group of young people from the village still looked at them with straight eyes, but when Surdak told the old village chief that Samira had shot more than fifty hellhounds with the forest bow in his hand during the defense of the city of Worzhmara, the young people of the village looked at Samira with a wince.

Succubus Aphrodi did not remove the black veil on her face, even if she did not perform 'charm', that exquisite face also had a fatal attraction to the villagers, and when Surdak introduced the origin of the succubus Aphrodite, he said it was a little vague, just said that he was a homeless alien who was rescued on the battlefield, and the villagers thought that the succubus Aphrodite was like Andrew, and he was also a native of the maca plane, and the custom of this indigenous group was to wear a veil, no one thought that she would be a succubus.

Everyone didn't dare to get close to the ogre Gullitham, the ogre Gullitham sat on the slope by the reed pond, looking like a mountain of meat, in order to eliminate the fear in the hearts of the villagers, Gulit took the initiative to try to smile at the villagers, and suddenly scared a group of big children who were standing not far away to watch the excitement and ran away. His legs were weak, and his hands and feet were crawling away with a rolling belt.

No way, the fear that the name ogre brings to the villagers is very great.

Rita snorted and carried a large wooden bucket of multigrain porridge in front of the ogre, she wore an apron on her body, and held a spoon in her other hand, standing in front of the ogre, raising her little red face and saying to the ogre: "Your name is Gullitham?" ”

The ogre's name was heard from Surdak.

The ogre nodded honestly, his eyes falling on the barrel, saliva running down the corners of his mouth.

"These are for you, I didn't expect you to grow so strong, there is only so much chestnut rice porridge I prepared." Rita lifted the barrel with all her might, and handed it to the ogre.

"Thank you!" The ogre Gullitme said angrily.

After speaking, he took the barrel with one hand, and held the bottom of the barrel, opened his mouth directly, poured a bucket of chestnut rice porridge into his mouth, and didn't even chew it carefully, he drank it in one go, and a bucket of chestnut rice porridge entered the ogre's stomach in an instant, and the ogre licked his lips inexhaustibly, feeling the sweetness transmitted into his mind on the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, and returned the barrel to Rita with an embarrassed face in Rita's stunned eyes.

Rita gave Surdak a look at the completion of the task, and then walked back to the entrance of the village with the corner of the cloth skirt in one hand, carrying the empty wooden barrel, and squeezed around Natasha, and handled the cassava piled at the entrance of the village with the village women.

Selena pulled little Signa out of the village, and did not come to Surdak, Selena, the assistant to the old village chief, who was currently in charge of the village accounts, and she sewed herself a linen crossbody bag with a parchment book, which she carried with her wherever she went, and now she was counting the cassava at the entrance of the village.

Signa remained hidden in Selena's long dress, only occasionally poking her head out cautiously.

Surdak couldn't get out of his body, so he waved his hand to the two of them, and in the cold wind, Selena's face bloomed with a bright smile like a tulip.

Seeing Surdak, Signa had the courage to get out of Selena's skirt.

She first looked at Andrew and Samira, then at the ogre lying on the dry grass slope with her head resting on her arm, and finally landed on the succubus Aphrodite, with some vigilance in her eyes, and the succubus Aphrodi also noticed the little girl, but before she could take a few more looks, Surdak picked up little Signa.

He took out a bag of candy from his magic waist bag and stuffed it to Xigna, looking at the string of fine braids on her head, her white little face was flushed, and she no longer had the same thinness and vegetable color as before, so she reached out and scratched her small nose and asked her, "How are you doing?" ”

Signa pushed Surdak's hand away very dissatisfied, and then gave Surdak a sweet smile, and said solemnly: "Fortunately, Selena is always reluctant to give me meat, you have to help me talk about her, she listens to you." Also that big fish tastes great, you can bring us a little more next time. ”

"Okay, I'll talk to Selena when I have time!" Surdak put Signa down and asked Samira beside her, "Our little Signa wants to eat fish, Samira, do you have any smoked ......fish?"

As a half-elf, Samira prefers elven habits in terms of food, likes to eat fish and fruits, and now Samira's wallet is gradually bulging, and she always carries some apples and smoked fish with her.

However, the half-elf archer made no secret of his disdain for Surdak to coax the little girl with her dry food.

……

At night, the kobolds finally settled into a hut surrounded by reed mats.

This kind of shed leaks everywhere, but it is much better than sleeping on the wasteland by the reed pond outside, the shed is very simple, the door is only blocked by a reed mat, and there is no intention of locking it at all, the two young people in the village are in charge of the night, but they are only far away next to the yellow sheep pen at the entrance of the village, looking at their meaning, it is more like worrying that these kobold slaves will steal the yellow sheep in the village at night.

The kobold slaves' dinner consisted of cassava porridge cooked by the women of the village, which was soaked in water for an afternoon and then boiled to make the paralysis less toxic.

Surdak's home is not big, he gave up his house to Samira and the succubus Aphrodite to live in, Andrew can only set up a tent in the yard, the ogre wanted to squeeze the cow of Surdak's family in the cowshed, but Surdak drove directly into the yard, as a supernumerary member of the guard battalion, the ogre now also has a set of large marching tents, set up in the yard, almost half of the yard space.

Rita and little Peter slept in the old Sheila's house.

This was the first time Surdak walked into Natasha and Rita's room, the room was lined with two wooden beds on the left and right sides, covered with cotton sheets, which looked soft and clean, except for the two beds, there was only a wooden table and a cabinet in the room, the room was very simple, he sat on the chair next to the table, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance.

The door was pushed open, and Natasha walked in with a steaming wooden basin filled with hot water, which she placed in front of Surdak's feet, first carefully wiped Surdak's face with a hot towel, wiped his hands, and then squatted down to unbuckle Surdak's boots, took off them, and let him dip his feet in the warm basin.

A candle was lit on the wooden table, and in the dim light, Natasha lowered her head and seriously washed Surdak's feet, she was only wearing a thin pajamas, the neckline showed a large area of fair skin, and her hair was still a little wet, she looked like she had just taken a shower, and her body exuded a faint scent of soap.

Looking at her white and smooth face, Surdak leaned down and grabbed Natasha's hand, Natasha's face turned red all of a sudden, and neither of them spoke.

Surdak picked her up sideways and placed her on the bed, stared at her moist lips, and kissed her gently......

……

The succubus Aphrodi turned over a little irritably, and found that Samira on the other side was not sleeping either.

In the dark room, the half-elf archer's eyes were a light red, staring at Aphrodite silently, Aphrodite smiled faintly at the half-elf with eyes as sharp as arrows, and found that Samira was unmoved, and changed to a more comfortable position, but the wooden bed was too hard, and she pulled the blanket covering her body with her hand.

“…… It's been so noisy for so long that people can't sleep! Aphrodite grumbled quietly.

Even when she slept, Samira was like a tanuki crouching in the dark, curling her body and slowly closing her light red eyes.

However, the succubus Aphrodite did not, and she whispered to Samira, "Hey, Samira, are you a little disappointed?" ”

The moonlight shone into the room through the window, and Samira opened her eyes again and asked suspiciously:

"What?"

The succubus Aphrodi sat up from the bed with a blanket, her long black hair hanging down like a waterfall, her body hidden under her pajamas rose and fell, her slightly gray face smiled narrowly, pointed to the slightly desolate ridge under the moonlight outside the window, and said to Samira:

"Here, this desolate land, I can't imagine that the captain's house is so dilapidated, and you don't need to look to know that the captain shouldn't have much money."

She turned her head to stare at Samira's pale red eyes, her sexy lips rose slightly, and she said to Samira:

"I heard that you followed him because he gave a large sum of money to the orphanage in the city of Warzhmara? Now, do you regret a little bit and regret your decision......

Samira turned over, facing the ceiling, her eyes fell on the dark ceiling, and said in a nonchalant tone: "After receiving five years' salary, what is there to be disappointed about?" Now I'm just keeping my promise, and Andrew is probably in the same situation as me, and besides, do you think the captain's life will always be so embarrassing? ”

"Hehe, of course not!" The succubus felt Samira's gaze sharpen and fall on her, making her feel like the skin on her face had been cut by a knife.

"So what else is there to say?" Samira closed her eyes again, and the demonic vestment on her bandaged arm hidden in the blanket gradually regained her composure, and said to Aphrodite: "In addition, it is better for you not to deceive people in front of me in the future, lest one day when you are in a bad mood, you can't help but shoot you with an arrow......

"If you can tell me that, it means you won't do that." After Aphrodite finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at the forest bow leaning against the wall.

The room was quiet again, and the moonlight was like water.
