This time, it took a few days longer to return to Winter Village from Irontree Fort than when he and Laura walked, and a team of more than a dozen people and two cars walked for nearly twenty days before reaching the village.

Laura, Mark and Tirio Ferding were a little surprised to see David bring back so many people, why did David bring back so many people this time?

"The effect is so obvious after getting a formal appointment letter?" Laura knew that David wanted to try to recruit some farmers again after he was officially appointed, but she felt that even if David could recruit farmers this time, that is, two or three people, there were thirteen people gathered in front of him at the moment—not counting David.

"The specific situation is a little different from what you think, and I will explain it to you in detail later."

As a responsible village chief, he couldn't bring people back and leave them alone, so he had to make some arrangements: fortunately, the first few big wooden houses were not all demolished, except for the one that served as a warehouse, there was only one large wooden house left, which allowed these people to live in the big wooden houses for a while, and then built everyone's quarters before it was winter.

David turned his head to look and saw that another wooden house had been built in the village: "That's where Addis lives?" ”

"Yes!"

With the strong labor force of Ferdin, the relatively simple structure of the wooden hut, and the fact that the village had stockpiled enough timber, the dwellings of Ardis and Alfie were soon built.

"How much wood is there?"

"I've cut some more in the past few days, but I've only replenished the stock and haven't cut too much, and the remaining wood may only be enough to build a new house or two."

David nodded, knowing what to do next: Fording still had to work as a lumberjack during this time, after all, no one in the village was more efficient at cutting trees than him.

The next main task of these new villagers is to build their own houses, and everything else can be put in the back.

After talking to several new villagers about their arrangements, several farmers said: "Actually, we can build houses while cultivating new farmland, and it will not affect farm work." ”

According to these people, they can first live in a large wooden house, first reclaim the wasteland, and when the basic work is completed, the subsequent farm work will be relatively 'easy', and then use their leisure time every day to build their own house - even the wood, they can cut it themselves.

Although it will take more effort and time to do so, and it is likely that they and several family members will have to spend this winter in a large wooden house with poor warmth, but none of these people feel that this is inappropriate.

A few farmers with contracts to David stood there, with very rustic eyes making a small request: as long as they and their families had food during this time, they promised to let David harvest the first grain grown in the new field before the winter on—they didn't know the situation of potatoes, and the time was calculated according to the crops they usually planted.

In the face of such low requirements, David did not know whether to sigh that the peasants of any world were so simple; Or hurry up and explain to Laura and Mark next to you: Things are not what you think! As for Fordin, the old nobles were already familiar with this situation.

Fortunately, his IQ is online, and he decisively vetoed the advice of several indentured farmers and asked them to do what they wanted. As for the food, they don't have to worry at all, the food in the village is distributed to all the villagers during this time, and the meal is served every day.

Hearing the village elder David say this, the inden farmers, who were still a little worried about their own treatment, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was food to eat, they could arrange whatever they wanted.

"After so many days of traveling, wait until dinner is over and have a good rest, and start work tomorrow."

David didn't say anything about a good day off, for these farmers, the early start of work can get their share early, and the holiday is not a good thing for them.

As for the long journey, everyone came by car, and the bumps on the road were nothing to these farmers, who had been doing manual work since childhood.

After David's arrangements were made, the men began to get busy: they brought down the various things in the cart, and then put them where they should be put under the command of Laura, Mark, and Fordin—for example, a few cows were brought into the warehouse, and the poultry were temporarily kept in cages, and they were also placed in the large warehouse, and then they were placed in a few days after the chicken coop, duck coop, and cattle pen were built separately.

All kinds of cold weapons are also put on the shelves in the warehouse, and they are not mixed with the various weapons brought by Laura, these are just ordinary weapons, the craftsmanship and materials are very ordinary, and the role of these weapons is to distribute them to ordinary villagers when they are attacked in Winter Village, so that the villagers become armed militia.

When the peasants had carried their belongings into the big hut and set up their beds for dinner, the hard bread they had brought with them, Laura beckoned everyone to eat.

It was only at this time that several farmers understood what the village chief meant when he said 'the meal is ready'.

It's not just a matter of handing out some hard bread or something like that, or sending some ingredients for them to solve on their own, but really making hot rice and hot dishes that everyone can eat.

And in their opinion, the food is quite good - a big pot full of stews, not many vegetables, basically all meat. Even the peasants of the Kingdom of Tiran did not live the kind of life that they could not eat a few bites of meat for many years, and they had never experienced this way of eating.

Looking at the large pieces of stew in the pot, they were a little skeptical, did the village chief send out all the meat for the next few months at once?

Just as the farmers were wondering if they had eaten all this meat, they would run out of meat for the next period of time. When it was time to save some food, David was explaining the situation of these farmers to Ferdin.

The wooden table, which was used for several people to eat and deliberate, was lengthened again, and Ardis was now sitting at the wooden table.

What they ate was no different from the food that was sent to the farmers, but David didn't call the farmers out to eat with them.

This was Fordin's suggestion, and he didn't think that David's dinner with the farmers would make the farmers grateful, but would only make them uncomfortable.

Ardis agreed, and no one struggled with the matter – not even Mark Watney, who came from the land of 'freedom and equality', did not think that certain ideas would apply to all worlds.

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Mark Watney's mysterious appearance, David glanced to the side and deliberately put on a curious look to wait for the following.

"You have a magical creature here, it should be from another world, just like me!"

David looked at Mark Watney's 'Do you want to know what that creature looks like?' Where are you now? Keep asking me! Davy pointed to his side and back mercilessly: "You are talking about a very simple-looking blue turtle?" ”

“……”

Mark Watney turned his head to look at Jenny Turtle, who didn't know when he was standing next to him, and then looked at David, who didn't have the slightest surprised expression, and immediately realized that David had long known about Jenny's tortoise.

"When did you find out?"

"I discovered this little guy during the time Maloney Mansfield was in our village." David looked at Jenny Turtle who was standing next to him, holding a wooden bowl and eating stew, and was speechless about this little guy running around eating and drinking so grandly: "You just walked out to eat it during this time?" ”

"Jenny Jeni!" Jenny Turtle nodded very calmly, during David's absence, he often came to the village to wander, when he was hungry, he came to see, and when he was bored, he also came to take a look, and after knowing the meal time of Winter Village, he simply asked for a pair of exclusive tableware, and he has lived in the village in the last few days.

"Alright! I thought I was the first to discover this little thing! Mark Watney was very fond of Jenny Turtle, especially when he found out that Jenny Turtle could help him water his fields, and he wanted to become a trainer immediately: "But you don't know what this little thing is!" This is a magical creature called Pokémon, each Pokémon has a special ability, this little guy is called Jenny Turtle and can spray water ......"

"Oh, that's amazing, isn't it?" After only listening to a few words, it turned out that Mark Watney didn't know as much about Pokémon as he did! I only know a few names such as Jenny Turtle, Pikachu, and Garlic King Eight, and I don't even know the skills, including that Jenny Turtle can squirt water, and I only knew it not long ago.

However, David didn't pierce Mark, and he was idle anyway, so he should pass the time.

While the two of them were eating dinner, they were chatting about Jenny Turtle, and Laura next to her was chewing food expressionlessly, quietly watching David fool Mark.

While everyone was chatting about various things during this time, Laura gently kicked Davy in the shin under the table.

“？” David gave a surprised look back, and then stole a glance at the people next to him, as if to remind Laura that there were too many people here.

Speechless, she rolled her eyes as Laura motioned to Davy to look over there.

Following Laura's reminder to look to the side, David understood why Laura kicked himself: not far from the table where everyone was eating, a phantom gradually emerged and slowly became solidified.

David was already familiar with this meeting, and he certainly understood what it meant: there were visitors from other worlds coming.

Just as David was looking forward to seeing who it would be this time, Laura kicked David again, and then glanced at Ardis at the square table.

In the past, they used to eat with Mark, Laura, and Ferdin, and David didn't think of the two locals, Ardis and Alfie, and just when David was about to find a topic to draw Ardis and Alfie's attention away, Ardis happened to turn around and happened to face the direction where the phantom was.

"Huh? Is someone coming to us? ”
