Chapter Eighty-Six: A Crisis Comes
After a long and boring month's voyage, Surin and his party returned to Logo.
After arriving, Melson and the others were first arranged, and then they were ready to carry out the next work, after all, it was already September, and it was the season of grain harvest.
After seeing Surin return, Star, Gru, Tariq, and Kersma also gathered together to report to him what had happened in the past few months.
"Lord Duke, now that the training of our army is on full track, and Tim has also built a lot of weapons, you can check them out. ”
"My lord, now that the wheat is ripe, and it is time to harvest, let's see if you can organize it and start it. ”
Su Lin saw that they were arguing, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop them from continuing to quarrel, stood up and shouted: "Okay, give me peace, the most important thing now is to harvest the grain in the field, it's not too early now, and the harvest will start tomorrow." ”
After letting them go down, Su Lin also walked in front of him, ready to go and see how the corn and peppers in the field looked, and after going out for so long, the only worry in his heart was them.
After leaving the town, Su Lin saw from a distance that the corn in the field was growing tall, green, and a touch of pale yellow in the middle.
Seeing this, he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over, and then saw thirty or forty corns standing upright in the ground, looking very vibrant.
Then Su Lin also approached the corn bud and took a deep breath, a familiar taste invaded his heart and spleen again, and he was also going to break a few at night and go back to taste the taste first.
When he was in a daze, Shi'an, a foodie, came over again, and watched him staring at these strange plants in the ground, and his saliva was about to flow out, and he couldn't help but say, "Can you eat these things?"
"You can't eat it, you don't have to eat it at night, you don't have your share. ”
After that, Su Lin turned around and went around to a nearby field, and saw that the peppers in it had turned red, and they were very small, and they seemed to feel very spicy.
Now he can already think of what it will be like to barbecue meat and chili peppers at that time, and the familiar taste is about to awaken his memory again, and he is also very happy, and after large-scale cultivation in the future, it will become a unique seasoning on the mainland, and then it will be a daily income.
Seeing that Su Lin didn't pay attention to himself at all, Shi'an was also very unhappy, looking at these red fruits in the field, thinking that they would definitely be delicious, so he picked one and stuffed it into his mouth.
And Su Lin didn't stop him when he saw this, and wanted to teach this girl a lesson and let her eat everything.
After Shi An took a heavy bite in the mouth of the chili pepper room, he immediately spit it out, and his face became red, his mouth opened wide, and he kept inhaling.
"Hurry up and drink water, or you'll be very uncomfortable. Su Lin was also very distressed to see her like this, and hurriedly asked her to drink water, regretting in her heart that she shouldn't have done this.
At this time, Shi An had already shed spicy tears, her lips were red, and after glaring at him, she turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Su Lin didn't pay much attention to it, but began to carefully pick the corn and peppers, and sent them back to the house, most of them were kept as seeds, and only a little bit was used to taste it, after all, there was not much harvest now.
After finishing his work, Surin also rode a horse to inspect the fields outside, and at this time, Felicia and Debi also rode up to follow, and he quickly asked, "Why did you come out?"
"It's boring in the house anyway, so we came out, by the way, I watched Shi'an cry and ran back home, did you mess with her again?" asked Felicia looking at him with a suspicious expression.
"Just joke with her, just go back and coax her. ”
Then they walked towards the wheat field outside, and as they passed the stadium, they saw a group of children chasing a ball and kicking it happily, and the people around them also burst into laughter.
Felicia and Debi were also very moved when they saw this scene, they had both seen the peasants, and if they were in other places, they only had endless work to do every day, where there was any entertainment, and the food was much better, at least it was no longer the unpalatable black bread, and there was almost no shortage of meat.
And all this is thanks to Su Lin, thinking of this, they can't help but look at the mysterious and secret man next to them.
Soon they came to the edge of the wheat field, and it was all golden as far as the eye could see, and the neat rows of wheat looked particularly beautiful.
At this moment, a breeze blew and caressed the wheat field, and the ears of wheat swayed with the wind, forming a wave of wheat, as if they were in the ocean, and the two of them were also intoxicated by this scenery, and they were fascinated for a while.
Su Lin looked at this endless wheat field, it was really beautiful against the backdrop of the sunset, and he couldn't move his legs a little.
At this time, a group of people also gathered on the edge of the wheat field, all of them were old men, who should be farmers who farmed the land, and they were chatting with each other.
"This is the best harvest I've ever seen in my life, and it looks like the yield should be increased by 10%. ”
"That's for sure, you see my land, there is not a single grass, not to mention how well these wheat grows. ”
"Look at my land, not to mention the grass, there is not a single worm, but I guard the field every day. ”
Hearing their conversation, Su Lin also smiled comfortably, this year's wheat harvest will increase for sure, he has expected it a long time ago, but he didn't expect the yield to increase so much, presumably the soil is very fertile, and it will definitely become a good land if you raise it well in the future.
Then Surin walked forward, with Felicia and Debi, and looked at the wheat fields that were about to be harvested on both sides, and they were all very excited.
After the inspection, the three of them returned to the house, and Su Lin also hurriedly came to the underground warehouse, where the peppers and corn were stored.
After entering, he was going to pick a few corns and cook them first to taste the taste, he counted them with his fingers, and it was only five or six people, anyway, it was in his own home, and the others didn't have to think about it.
After selecting six corns, Surin carried them to the kitchen, and at the same time told Eve to close the door.
Seeing him so mysterious, Felicia and Debi also felt very strange, and became curious about what he had in his hands.
After entering the kitchen, Surin washed the corn and put it in an iron pot, poured water into it and began to boil.
Half an hour later, Su Lin scooped up the corn, first put it in front of his nose and smelled it, it was still a familiar fragrance, and when he took a bite, he felt glutinous, soft and fragrant.
Then he took out the boiled corn and placed it before them, and said, "Taste it, and make sure you haven't eaten it." ”
"I haven't seen it, and I certainly haven't eaten it. ”
Felicia picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth, and after taking a bite, her eyes opened wide, and then her mouth couldn't stop.
And Debi had the same expression, just eating and not saying anything.
At this time, Su Lin didn't see Shi'an's figure in the house, and hurriedly asked, "Where did Shi'an's girl go?"
"Didn't you make you cry before, but now you probably hide in your room and cry!" Felicia said as she gnawed.
Hearing this, Su Lin remembered that Shi'an was made to cry by herself, so she hurriedly took a piece of corn and walked to her room, ready to comfort her.
After arriving at the door, Su Lin found that the door was closed, so he hurriedly knocked on the door a few times: "Shi'er, it's me, I was wrong before, you can forgive me!"
But after saying that, no one inside responded, thinking that she should still be angry, and then continued to shout inside: "Shi'er, I brought you something delicious, you can open the door!"
As soon as the words fell, the door was opened, and then a tender white hand stretched out, snatched the corn directly, and made a gesture to close the door.
Seeing this, Su Lin hurriedly tried her best not to let her close the door, but Shi An didn't insist, and after letting go of her hand, she sat on the bed and began to gnaw.
Su Lin also sat beside her, looked at her red and swollen eyes and said good things again: "Shi'er, I was really wrong, you don't know how distressed I was at that time"
Although he said good things for most of the day, Shi An didn't even raise his head, and still gnawed on the corn in his hand.
It wasn't until she finished eating that she raised her head and glanced at Su Lin, then wiped her mouth and said, "What you said is true, you won't lie to me again?"
"Of course. Su Lin said confidently.
"Then I have one more request now. ”
"Tell me, what's it?"
"I still want to eat"
It took a while to make Shi An happy, and Surin's task was completed, and then he returned to the house to rest.
After entering the house, he stood by the window again, watching the white moonlight outside sprinkle like silver threads into the world, and the outside world seemed extremely quiet.
He couldn't help laughing at the thought of the great harvest that was to take place tomorrow, and then he saw Felicia walk in, so he rushed over and picked her up, and spun around.
In the dead of night, an army quietly appeared on the steppe, all composed of half-orcs, with two thousand wolf cavalry at the front, six thousand pikemen at the back, and two thousand archers at the end.
At this time, the leader was a half-orc riding a huge wolf, with an eye patch on his face, and his right arm had turned into a knife, and the whole person looked very cold and cruel.
And beside him was a human, Hammer, who had escaped from the barbarian tribe before.
"Lord Ironblade, we should be able to reach the human habitation tomorrow morning, and you won't be without food. Hammer said with a respectful and flattering face.
"Don't worry, I promised you that I will do it, and let you rule the human race here. ”
Iron Blade's eyes were full of playful sneers as he said this, and he looked at the pitch black in front of him, and his heart was also eager to hunt those humans.
