Chapter 58: Make Your Choice, Miss Lucy
Marco and the others just stayed outside the Spiritual Farm.
Lu Xi didn't know about this at all, although she didn't think Marco and they would leave so happily, after all, the goal they wanted to accomplish had not been completed, and it was impossible for them to simply give up just because they saw her, she said a few words.
But she didn't expect that Marco would stay directly not far from her spiritual farm and guard the door directly.
Fortunately, Lu Xi felt that they would not give up so easily, so she did not forget to let Mao Hao disguise herself through the phantom badge, anyway, the process was not troublesome, but she was a little unaccustomed to it.
In addition, Lu Xi also let Mao Miao fly in the sky for a period of time every day, which was similar to taking a walk after dinner, and by the way, he checked if there was anything different around the farm, and he was still guarding against Marco and them.
However, since Marco and the others chose to be stationed not far from the Spiritual Farm, of course they would not ignore such an important issue, and they had already arranged the elemental magic circle for concealment when they were stationed, and even the group of people who went out to find traces of various monsters also carried elemental magic weapons that could hide traces.
Otherwise, the distance is only a few miles away, Marco has any elemental fluctuations, Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao can already sense it.
Monsters are more sensitive to the perception of elemental power than humans, in essence, monsters are symbiotic with the elements, but humans can only perceive the elements through the elemental contract, and after such a layer, the perception ability is relatively weaker.
After Marco stayed in the vicinity of the Spiritual Farm, he did not eat dry food idle every day, but without arousing the alarm of the Spiritual Farm, he surveyed the surrounding area of the Spiritual Farm, including the location of Xinwa Village and the people living in it.
Cross's slave back-up was still with Marko, so Marco was easily able to identify the group, and their construction work in the village was in full swing, which was exactly as good as the news they had just come over.
The only thing that is different from what Marco thinks is probably their good life in Xinwa Village.
They are nominally slaves, but in fact they treat themselves as slaves, but Lu Xi treats them not the way they treat slaves, which makes them not look like slaves.
"Tsk, it doesn't look like a bunch of slaves." Standing on a high point, Marco looked down at the village of Xinwa under construction.
Considering the shortage of manpower and time, Lu Xi did not arrange a house for each of them when designing the building, which was unrealistic.
At present, the plan is to build three relatively large houses, the kind that can accommodate more than a dozen people in one room, and there is no bed in the house, but an earthen kang.
Fortunately, the principle of the earthen kang is very simple, Lu Xi saw the process of building the earthen kang several times when he was a child, and after briefly saying it once, Yagli understood what she meant, and gave the drawings for building the house according to her ideas.
Therefore, there is no problem at all with the fact that these houses are designed by Lu Xi, and Jaegli can only be regarded as a "drawing paper".
More than ten days have passed, and the first house has been built in a general shape, and in a few days it will be ready to be considered for occupancy.
After all, this house is the first time to get started, and the speed will definitely be slower, and when this house is completed, the next two houses can be built to save at least half of the time.
Considering the practical problems, each house is designed to be simple, there are only two rooms in the house, a large room with a small room, which looks like a "! ".
The big room is a place to sleep, only a big kang more than half a meter high, two meters wide, more than ten meters long, and a two-meter-wide ground that goes straight to and fro.
If you want personal space, you can also use a wooden board or something to isolate a small space on the kang, although it is not soundproof, but it will be much more comfortable.
The small room is a combination of kitchen and dining room, and there are two doors in front and back, which is convenient for so many people to come and go.
The stove and the kang in the big house are connected together, so that the fire is cooked every day, and the kang is heated by the way, but this kang is too big, and a fire point cannot make the kang heat up together, so there are several places to burn the fire on the other side, leaving such a large open space, on the one hand, it is possible for them to arrange some furniture to store items, and on the other hand, it is also to leave enough place to put firewood.
In winter, it must be troublesome to go out often to find firewood for fire, and you can store a lot of them in the house at one time, and you can often go out to get cold in the cold weather.
The toilet is set up outside, and the ventilation in the house is not very good, and it is not too well designed, so they can only rely on themselves.
Lu Xi's idea was that these barely young men lived in one house, the women with children lived in one house, and the childless women and unmarried girls lived in the same house alone.
The idea was approved by everyone, and there was no way to do it, but more importantly, there was no such thing as a complete family, so no one had any opinion that they had to live separately.
One of the three houses was designed to be much larger than the other two, especially the kitchen to accommodate all the current people of Xinwa Village to dine here.
It was also an idea of Lu Xi, she felt that she would definitely find something to do for this group of people in winter, so it was necessary to have a relatively large space where these people could be gathered, otherwise they would be crowded together, or listen to her outside, which would be strange.
In addition, she also considered one thing, that is, cooking in a unified manner, which is definitely more convenient than cooking alone, and with such a dining space, the people of Xinwa Village must also prefer to be able to eat with everyone every day.
They have lost too many loved ones, and each of these remaining people needs to be cherished.
Marco couldn't see Lu Xi's thoughts, but he still saw Miss Lucy's "kindness" from the construction pattern of this house.
Oh, whose slave can live in such a wide place?
In Lu Xi's eyes, it was already a very compact residence, and she even deliberately widened the space on the ground, in order to reduce the "suffocation" of that small space, but in the eyes of others, it was quite wide.
Marco was a man from the bottom, he had seen the slaves of the mayor of Snch, a dozen people living in a small room, their clothes had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, their bodies were covered with various scars from the whipping, and they were so dirty that they could smell a mixture of stenchs from a long distance.
Look at the slaves again, and the new, washed and clean clothes are left to dry in the yard and drift in the wind, even though all the people are working, and they are covered in dust and look dirty.
But it's just a layer of floating soil, and as long as you wash it, you can reveal the cleanliness underneath.
When they were eating, they went to wash their hands one by one before picking up the food.
And the women, who still wore such bright and beautiful silk scarves on their heads—each of them was worth at least 1 silver coin, Marco thought.
But they were tied to the heads of a group of female slaves.
"Worthy of the kind Miss Lucy." Marco sighed, his voice did not mean praise, but more like a mockery, although he no longer looked down on a few silver coins, but to see a group of slaves using such expensive things, he really felt disgusted and annoyed from the bottom of his heart.
It's just a bunch of slaves, why can you use such a good thing?!
Of course, in fact, it is more because the hair of this group of female slaves has been shaved, which makes their already not too beautiful appearance, even more unsightly.
If it was a group of young and beautiful female slaves with such expensive silk scarves, perhaps Marco would not be so angry.
But a group of bald female slaves, Marco felt that his vision was polluted at first glance.
As for the group of male slaves in Cross, Marco is even more disdainful, as an elemental warrior, the pursuit of a strong body is an instinct, and the group of crooked melons and cracked dates, Marco doesn't bother to take a look at them at all.
Even Lu Xi thinks that Iron Tooth, who is a good seedling, is the same, Iron Tooth has not eaten good things a few times since he was a child, although his own strength is quite strong and his body is quite good, but in Marco's eyes, he is a little too thin.
More than ten years of malnutrition cannot be supplemented by more than ten days of food and drink.
What's more, Lu Xi didn't give them too much food to supplement their body nutrition, one is that their bodies have been malnourished for too long, and they can't come up directly to supplement nutrition, which will hurt their bodies.
So in terms of food, Lu Xi only provided some wild rice, cooked porridge for them to drink every day, and the side dishes were all wild vegetables and other things they picked themselves, which was also the reason why Lu Xi said that eating more green vegetables was good for his body.
The second is that the food is too good, this group of people should be afraid in their hearts, what is their identity, the number in their hearts is still very sufficient, in order to make them feel at ease, Lu Xi is not too good to them.
Although Marco had never seen such food as wild rice, he could also know from the behavior of these slaves after eating it that it must be a very valuable food, and it was a unique food produced by the Spirit Farm, which was an item that had not been discovered by anyone on other farms before.
Before the slaves found out, Marco came back stealing a bowl of wild rice porridge and a handful of wild rice that had not been cooked for food.
He was a mid-level elemental warrior, and it was easy to do this kind of thing without being discovered, and Kross was just a bunch of ordinary people after all...... Oh no, ordinary slaves.
The taste of wild rice porridge is very good, even if the group of slaves made it without adding any ingredients, Marco, who is used to eating all kinds of good things, can accept the taste of this food, and even thinks it is not bad.
And the handful of wild rice that he secretly grabbed, Mar scientifically looked like the group of slaves, added water and boiled it, and soon a large pot was boiled.
The taste of wild rice and its practical effect instantly conquered Marco, and at the same time thought of the various uses of this food.
If you can take this food into your own hands, and pack these unique characteristics, you might be able to sell it at a very high price, Marco calculated in his heart.
If he could take charge of this matter from Mayor Snch, he would definitely get no less.
And this is also a method often used by the nobles, the kind of large amount, full control, can be popularized to more commoners, so that those commoners are fed, the nobles will not do.
They will just take this east XZ and then package it into an expensive cargo, prohibiting others from growing it while puffing up their own wallets.
As for the lives of those civilians, what does it matter to them?
Marco didn't know if Miss Lucy didn't know the value of this new wild rice, or if she still didn't care if she knew it, and she was showing her unnecessary kindness to this group of slaves.
But it didn't matter anymore, because soon Miss Lucy wouldn't have to think about it.
"Of course, if she wants to, she can still let these slaves continue to eat this food." Marco looked down at the pot of wild rice porridge in front of him and smiled contemptuously.
It's just this group of slaves, and when he gets the authority to take charge of this from Mayor Snki, he definitely won't let Wild Rice appear anywhere else.
What a lucky bunch of slaves, Marco looked up in the direction of Xinwa Village, but he didn't have any thoughts about them.
Because his status is high enough, this group of slaves does not deserve to appear in his eyes, as long as he wants, that group of slaves can disappear at any time.
Or, they'll disappear right away.
"Roar!" In the distance, the roar of a monster sounded, and it approached the Spiritual Farm.
It's some scattered monsters, in a state of three or five, although they don't seem to be of the same race, they get along very friendly, and there is no infighting or anything.
Most of them are more than one meter or two meters in size, but there are not a few low-level monsters, they are all ordinary monsters.
Usually low-level monsters don't stay together, more often than not, it's a lone ranger, or a low-level monster with an ordinary monster of the same race, which is something determined by their instincts.
In three days, Marco had already driven a team of more than a hundred monsters from other places through his subordinate team.
Let these monsters attack the Soul Farm? No, no, no, Marco is not so naïve, each farm has an extremely strong defensive elemental circle, even if it is a complete tide of monsters, there is no way to do any damage to a farm.
However, those farmlands are not included in the scope of the farm's defense elemental circle.
And the harvest time has come.
How can the group of ordinary people on the farm harvest the ripe grain in the farmland surrounded by a group of monsters?
Either huddle in the farm surrounded by monsters, waiting for the grain in the farmland outside to ripen to rot and waste the fruits of the year, or pay a small "price" to ask them, a patrol, to help drive away the monsters, so that the harvest can be successfully completed.
How to choose, it's already very simple, isn't it, Marco looked at the Spirit Farm and smiled slightly.
Now, it's your choice, Miss Lucy.
Again, I'm a rambling writer.
When writing something, I can't help but diverge into all kinds of details, which leads to a lot of content that I often write in a row.
In addition, my book is set up as a daily text.,So I don't feel like there should be much coolness.,I'm not very good at writing cool.。
Also, the last book proved that I am not very good at creating characters, so it is normal for this book to have problems with the image of the characters.
All I can say is that I'm trying to improve.
Sometimes when you see something that doesn't make sense, I hope you can think about whether it's because the author can't write something more reasonable.
The ability is limited, so everyone's requirements can be lowered a little (hint)
