Chapter 106: Another Rain
After looking at the trolls for a while, Xiang En lay back in Andrea's arms, bowing his eyebrows and pondering.
The trolls stayed in the town and didn't leave, probably not because they wanted revenge.
After this battle, the trolls are no longer strong enough to risk their death.
Even if the trolls really wanted revenge, it wouldn't be in the near future, at least not this winter.
If they can win once, they can win a second time!
After digesting the spoils of this battle, their strength can be increased by at least several levels, and even if the trolls still want to make trouble in the future, Xiang En will be sure to deal with it.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiang En didn't care, now it's better to go to bed first, he's too tired.
In the afternoon, Markey knocked on the bedroom door to remind them that it was time for their rotation.
Then, Xiang En and the others got up, and casually summoned some bread for a few people to eat, and went to rest when it was time to rest, and went to work when it was time to work.
A wooden plank temporarily acts as a door to the basement, and Xiang En leads Andrea and Naka to the manor, which is still covered in the corpses of zombie birds.
The smell of corpses was blown by the wind and drilled into their noses, and even the cows in the barn were disgusted by the smell and cowered in the corner of the barn.
When he came to the edge of the small lake, he checked the excavation progress of the big pit and found that the big pit used for cremation was only ten meters in diameter and three meters deep.
Without endurance, it's good that Markey and Duncan can spend a few hours digging such a big hole.
But such a pit is far from enough, and they will continue to dig and expand the pit further.
It was necessary to dig at least fifteen meters in diameter and eight meters deep to barely incinerate half of the corpses of the zombie birds.
The number of bird corpses piled up in the manor is really exaggerated, and it takes at least two large pits with a width of 15 meters and a depth of 8 meters to burn four times to burn them all.
They turned on the endurance plug-in and dug until the evening to complete the first pit.
The burning of the corpses needs to be completed as soon as possible, so Xiang En wakes up Markey and Duncan and asks them to go and cut down trees together, implementing the truth that if you want to get rich, you must first dig trees.
Others went to collect firewood, piled logs and broken logs at the bottom of the pit, spread a layer of firewood, then a layer of corpses, and after a pile of corpses, another layer of firewood.
It's like a layer of corpses, a layer of wood.
At night, Xiang En and the others laid out a large pit of corpses, including zombie birds and trolls.
After lighting the firewood, they went back to rest, and the caretaker's work was handed over to the trap totems that filled the perimeter of the manor.
After knowing that trolls were going to appear, Xiang En was in the trap totem, and he had a lot of inventory, so he didn't have to worry about wasting it.
When they woke up the next day, they found that the body had not been completely burned, but it was almost there.
The trolls are still building huts and cowsheds, and some of them are still cultivating fields and growing potatoes.
Xiang En told everyone about their situation, but also told them not to be so nervous and just continue to do their business.
The clean-up of the corpses took three days, even if it was overtime.
Although the corpse has been cleaned up, the foul with the smell of blood on the ground has to be cleaned up.
It took another two days to clean up a layer of blood-stained dirt from the manor, and it was only with the help of the yaks that it was so fast.
Xiang En sacrificed his old handiwork, and made two ox carts and several plows out of wood, so that they could play a role other than growing meat.
After the manor was cleared, the originally beautiful garden turned into a large area of mud, the stone slabs were basically broken, the big house was left with some stone chips, and the large grass in the backyard was stripped away, turning into an unsightly mud field.
After a few days, the temperature around me dropped again, and the sky became worse and darker, and it was gloomy, reminiscent of the rain that changed the world.
Now when everyone looks up, they think of the terrible experience and feel a faint sense of unease.
This uneasiness became a reality just two days later.
The gloomy sky with a slight green color in the gloom cast a layer of gloom on the hearts of Xiang En and the others.
Xiang En retracted his gaze from Wangtian, adjusted the content of today's work, and pointed to the few people standing at the entrance of the basement, "Markey, Duncan, you two will pull an ox cart to the river later, and bring back a cart of loess, I taught you before." Naka, you and Hogan continue to cut down trees. Bourne went to the cowshed to get some planks to reinforce it. ”
After arranging the work, he released the migratory birds to take a look at the situation of the trolls, and found that the trolls were a little indifferent to the dark clouds in the sky, and did not seem to care much about the upcoming rain.
Maybe they don't know what this rain will bring, so they don't have a sense of crisis, right?
After a routine look at the trolls, Xiang En refocused and began to waterproof the basement entrance and a few small vents.
The simplest waterproof treatment is to directly block the door tightly, but this is too depressing.
Xiang En is going to build a hut like a thatched hut at the entrance of the basement, and then he has to expand the basement, increase the area a little more, fill it with wooden boards, and divide several rooms.
The wooden hut was built in half a day, and many of the materials were directly dismantled from the troll huts, and the huts built by the trolls were quite simple and durable.
After the cottage was built, Xiang En took Andrea to dig drainage channels in the manor, and the rain could be very heavy, so they needed to dig enough drainage channels to drain the black rain that might arrive in a suitable place.
The well in the manor was covered with wooden planks by Xiang En, and it was temporarily unused.
When the simple canal was dug, Markey and Duncan returned with a cart of ox-cart loess.
This loess will be used to build a cistern in the basement cell, and Xiang En only knew that the soil can be burned into ceramics.
He only remembered an ant's nest of specific materials, and it took many attempts to figure out which kind of dirt could be used as a building material.
As he prepares to build a forge, a troll arrives and interrupts his plans to make iron.
Winter is coming, and they can melt iron into the shape they need this winter.
The iron door of the cell was removed, and the space of the cell appeared much larger, about 40 square meters.
They only need to make a 20-square-meter cistern, and the rest of the space is ready to be used to build a kitchen.
The middle of the cistern was filled with wooden planks as a partition, and it only took half a day to repair it, and the rest was to dry the soil in a charcoal basin.
By late at night, the preparations that could be done were basically done.
It wasn't too dark outside, and if it had rained last time, they would have three or four days to get ready.
In the evening, after a rat dinner, Xiang En and Andrea took a bath.
Lying in bed at night, Andrea changed her old stupid appearance, looking stupid and stupid, as if she was thinking about something.
"What are you thinking?"
Xiang En turned against the guest, hugged Andrea, and rubbed the gorgeous red hair intimately.
Andrea also put her backhand around Xiang En's waist and said sullenly: "I miss my family a little bit......"
The arrival of the second rain reminded her of her mood during the first rain, and then she thought of her family who was not around.
Father and mother, as well as the second sister, don't worry too much, the most worrying thing is the eldest sister Sharon who accepted the imperial conscription and went to a different place.
In the past, you could see your parents as long as you went home, but now you can't see your parents even when you go home, although you can't see them either, but the two are fundamentally different.
The former doesn't make people think much about it, because that's not a problem. The latter is like a separation between heaven and man, making people scratch their hearts as uncomfortable, even if they want to see it, it is impossible to see it.
Such a question made people think about it very irritatingly, and then Andrea got up and pressed Xiang En underneath.
What should I do if I'm in a bad mood?
Just do something else to distract yourself!
Although both physically and mentally exhausted from the labor, Xiang En still took the initiative to cooperate, and they hadn't practiced for more than a month when they were in the underground before.
He still missed that feeling a little, after all, Xiang En was also a young man with strong blood......
The night was unusually long, and the two of them woke up two hours late the next morning.
By the time the two came out of the basement, the others had already started exercising, feeding the cows and grazing by the way.
The sky was darker than yesterday, and when Xiang En looked up, he saw a dark green overcast sky, and the wind was blowing, wafting the familiar sour smell.
The clouds were moving, and perhaps somewhere else, the rain was already falling.
After a while, he arranged a task for Naka and them, and continued to cut down trees and store wood in the ground.
Let Byrne and Hogan harvest some more young grass and store it as food for a few yaks.
After checking the cistern in the cell, he found that it had been dried out, although it was not very smooth, but Xiang En had a spell to purify the liquid, and it was not too much of a problem whether the water was dirty or not.
As long as it is not soaked in the corpse's water, there will be no problems after purification.
Let Markey and Duncan go to fetch water together, and when the reservoir is full, Xiang En purifies the water and then covers it with a wooden plank.
The pool of water is about enough for them to drink for a month or two, and then they don't have to leave the ground very often, even if it's very cold in winter.
However, this winter is definitely better than the previous winter, because with the blessing of the fire element, you can use this skill to achieve the effect of constant body temperature, and it will not happen again if you are so cold that you don't want to move at all!
Observing the troll neighbors as well, Xiang En found that the trolls seemed to be making pottery out of clay as well, and they seemed to be very leisurely, making some basic preparations for the heavy rain that followed, digging some ditches for drainage.
After finishing his observation of the trolls, Xiang En continued to do carpentry.
They've pretty much done what they need to do, and now they just have to wait quietly for the end of the upcoming rainstorm to get through the winter of the year.
In today's world, the least valuable time passes very quickly.
The thick black green clouds soon covered the entire sky, and the next night, Xiang En and Andrea, who were practicing against each other, were about to divide the winner, when suddenly a thunder fell from the sky and scared Xiang En out of place.
After hurriedly finishing the sparring session, Xiang En released the migratory birds and flew outside to check the situation.
The pure white body of the migratory bird stumbled under the interference of the rain, and with the help of the shaking perspective, Xiang En saw that the thunder had dyed the night sky dark green.
The wind blew the rain, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes even upward.
The sound of rattling can be heard clearly even underground.
Facing the wind and rain, the migratory birds flew with difficulty in the direction of the town, and soon after Xiang En saw the camp of the trolls.
The troll's camp was bustling, and some of the roofs of the trolls' huts were blown away by the wind, and the rain was dripping down on the trolls' bodies, scorching with strange screams.
They frantically searched for materials, re-reinforced the roof, and even pressed the roof of the hut directly with trees so that rainwater would not drift into the house.
After watching for a while, the migratory birds were scattered by the black rain.
After seeing the tragic situation of the trolls, Xiang En didn't feel that they had the ability to sneak attack them, and it was difficult to protect himself, how could he still have the ability to do something to them.
In this way, Xiang En slept with Andrea with peace of mind.
I slept until I woke up naturally, and although it was already daytime outside, the rain still did not stop, and there was a tendency to intensify.
They didn't have to leave the basement, but that was before, and now they have six more yaks to look after.
Bourne was already familiar with the care of yaks, and after wrapping himself in animal skins, he left the basement and rushed to the cowshed.
Because he expected the acid rain to come, Xiang En had asked Bourne to fortify the cowshed in advance, store the forage, and build a pond.
Byrne used to prepare forage for the yaks for the day, shoveled the and came back, and the rain had little effect on the yaks.
In the past few rainy days, they have been very leisurely.
Xiang En saw that Naka and the others were really idle and had nothing to do, so he copied the playing cards with wooden chips, and then taught them to play landlord fighting and bullfighting.
Adventurers all share a hobby, drinking and gambling, even Andrea.
In addition to hand-to-hand combat, Andrea developed a hobby of playing cards and became more and more addicted.
Xiang En didn't have much interest in playing cards, and when he really had nothing to do, he would take the barrel and call Bourne to go to the cowshed with him to milk the cows.
Yaks are not dairy cows after all, and their milk supply is limited, and they only get more than a liter of milk for two days back and forth.
After being cooked by Xiang En, it was divided, this little milk was too little, and there were no eggs, so I couldn't make some cakes if I wanted to.
After five or six days of indulging in playing cards, the rain outside finally stopped.
At Xiang Eun's insistence, they reluctantly left the surface and went to see the world after the rain together.
This time the acid rain was much more severe than Xiang En expected, and when they walked to the surface, the pungent sour smell in the air was stronger than the one they remembered, and the water on the ground was also black.
Stepping on the muddy road, Xiang En first checked the condition of the cowshed and found that everything was normal with the yaks.
After that, Xiang En went to the well again, and after opening the plank, a stronger sour smell hit his nose, making him dizzy, and he hurriedly covered the board.
The underground well water has also been polluted, and the people and animals of the world have fallen into a state of water and food shortage.
This time the pollution is worse than the last time, and I wonder if the land will be able to recover enough to be planted after this winter.
If the land is completely polluted, they may not have the food they have now.
The trolls next door who insist on being neighbors with them may also have a strange move and make up their minds.
