Chapter 514 [Happy Winter]

Anicee gently raised her whip and drove away the lambs in front of her.

The whip in her hand seemed to be raised, but it was willing to really fall on the sheep. Looking at the happily grazing sheep in front of him, Anice's eyes shone brightly.

The sheep were fatter than when they came up from the grassland. The water and grass here are very good, although the area of the pasture is not large, but fortunately, there are few shepherds, unlike in the grassland, there are many tribes to fight, not to mention that there is always a need to beware of robbers from other tribes.

Looking at the winding river in front of him, Anicee simply sat down and sat down on the grass. dragged his cheeks, looked at the sheep, and didn't know what he was thinking in a daze.

"Eat, eat, eat, eat. Eat a little fatter. Anicee muttered.

It's already late autumn, and in a few days, winter is coming. Before the first snow of winter arrives, this is the last chance for cattle, sheep and livestock to grow fat and reserve energy for the winter.

Here, Anicee felt a happiness that she had never felt before.

There is no longer any need to worry about the lack of food in winter, no more worrying about slaughtering weak cattle and sheep, and no longer seeing the scenes of those who shed tears to drive the old and weak out of the tribe in order to relieve the food contract.

It's a pity...... My brother and father were gone.

It's a pity that my brother and grandma can't see it.

There was no lame uncle who always smiled heartily, nor did the sturdy young boys of the tribe chase after him, pulling his braids.

The grass was a little cold, but Anicee didn't care. The sons and daughters of the grassland have never been so delicate.

He took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and opened it, and there was a fragrant ball of dough, yellow, orange and orange. It's the kind of flour that people here call "corn", and it's ground noodles.

The taste is much more delicate than the barley that Anicese used to eat. It's also sweeter.

Anicee felt that she would never get tired of eating such delicious things for the rest of her life.

What made her a little ashamed was that she had only been here for a few days, and even when she dreamed at night, she dreamed that she was lying in a cornyard.

The cornfield Anicee had already seen it, and the herdsmen looked at the vast expanse of farmland, and they all regarded it as a treasure, and sternly warned their children not to go there to play. If you break a dealer, I'm afraid that even the gods will be angry.

But Anicee was the only exception.

Everyone here knows that she was brought back by the "high priest" and that she was also an apprentice taken in by the high priest.

Anicee had the privilege of entering the walled city under construction, and the temple that looked so magnificent that one could not help but want to worship it—although the people of the steppe did not believe in this, the grandeur of the building was inevitably awe-inspiring.

Cornfields, of course. Anicee can also go in. But the little girl did not do this, and when she was only driving the sheep, she looked around the cornfield—and there was an indescribable sense of security in her heart when she looked at so much grain.

Yes. Looking at it, it seems as if the feeling of hunger and thirst has already moved away from me.

The qiē here is so beautiful.

The only thing that made Enisse a little depressed was that he hadn't seen him again for many, many days.

The gentleman seems to have been away for a while, and after coming back. Mr. all seem to be busy all the time.

That's right, Sir is such a great and amazing man of God.

The tribe here, the city that was built. There is also such a large dealer, those chimneys that smoke all day long, and those brick kilns, all of which belong to Mr.

There are tens of thousands of people here!

Even in the grassland, a tribe with a population of tens of thousands is a rare big tribe.

And the richness of the gentleman, I'm afraid even the king of the prairie can't be compared.

Anicee saw with his own eyes that his men were picking corn in the fields, crushing the stalks and feeding the livestock.

What a waste!

Anicee once picked up the slag from the corn stalk, took it back and milled it, cooked it and tasted it, and it tasted better than barley!

If it's on the grassland, it's a good food.

But in the gentleman's place, it is only used to feed the horses.

It's no wonder that the cattle, sheep and horses here are all so majestic.

There were boats far away on the river. The workers on the boat stood magically at the bow of the boat, occasionally waving their hats at the herdsmen on the shore, and let out a hearty and triumphant laugh.

These were all men of the man named Montoya, and it is said that they were digging in the mountains far away, and they dug up some black stones, which were used to make fires, and once they were lit, the fire was very difficult to extinguish, and it was much more economical than burning wood, and a single black stone could burn for a long time.

Boatloads of these black stones are brought out every day from the mines deep in the mountains, and these boats slowly travel along this small river to the settlement.

The boatmen, all of them pitch black, laughed with only their teeth white.

Anicee looked up at the blue sky.

A few more days, a few more days...... It's going to snow, right?

According to the people here, there is already enough food for this winter. Everyone is talking about this, how will this New Year be celebrated.

Anicee knew that this tribe and this territory of the gentleman had only been established for less than a year. This winter is also the first winter for this new tribe.

But the winter here seems to be so relaxed, cheerful, and even ......

Happiness?

......

As Anicee stared at the sky in a daze, she didn't notice that a shadow had covered her overhead.

Raising his head, Anicei saw a slender figure standing in front of him, looking at him condescendingly, although in the shadows, but the smile on that face immediately made Anicee happy.

"Sir!"

Anicee jumped up, as if to hug her by the waist, but then a hint of trepidation in her heart prevented her from doing so—since she was in the territory, she saw so many people in the temple bowing down to him. What authority you have here, sir.

Chen Daolin smiled.

He looked at the little girl who seemed to be a little helpless, reached out and gently touched Anice's hair, and said softly: "It's so cold, why are you still sitting here blowing the wind?"

Anicee blushed, just looking at her teacher with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"I haven't seen you in a few days, how are you doing?"

"Good. Anicee nodded vigorously: "Well fed and warmly dressed." And, moreover...... That Sister Rodelle sent me a lot of things. ”

Chen Daolin smiled: "She knows that you are my apprentice, so she naturally looks at you differently." I heard her say that she was supposed to let you live in the city. You don't want to, you just want to stay in the herdsmen tribe here?"

Anice's little face was red and a little afraid: "Sir, I, I don't dare." ”

One is not dare, and the other is apprehensive.

In her absence, Anicei instinctively felt a little afraid of the many strangers in the city. Although those people, the sister named Barossa, the sister called Lodel. They were all very kind and polite to themselves, but when the teacher was not at home, Anicee was instinctively a little afraid of them.

Chen Daolin sighed, and his fingers gently stroked Anice's forehead. Wen Yan said: "Okay, I was too busy a few days ago to take care of you. Now that winter is almost over, it's time for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. Get started today. Come back to the city with me. Since you are my disciple, I can't just let you hang a name, I always have to teach you something. is a qualified teacher. ”

There was some excitement in Anice's eyes.

It wasn't that she didn't want to live in the city—in fact, she just wanted to follow her teacher. The teacher was not in the city, so she naturally didn't want to go. But now that the teacher is back, Anicee thinks to herself that it is better to follow the teacher.

Moreover, although the tribe is good, because everyone knows that they are the disciples of the teacher, and the sister Lotelle and Sister Barossa have sent people to send a lot of good things, so the way those herdsmen look at them is always a little strange.

Although it is still very polite, it is faintly a little more awe and alienation.

"First of all, sheep are not allowed in the city, and I have no place to raise sheep at home. Chen Daolin said with a smile: "The sheep will be fostered in the tribe first." ”

Anicee nodded and whispered, "I'll listen to sir." ”

Chen Daolin looked at the little girl, took two steps back, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, you seem to have grown taller again." ”

Anicee did grow a little taller. The original malnutrition, after the almost cruel recuperation of Chen Daolin on the road when he came out of the grassland, coupled with the rich life here for more than a month, the little girl's face was a lot more ruddy and bloody, and her figure was a little higher.

It's just that the only thing that makes her a little embarrassed is that her clothes are a little short. Anicee once quietly changed her clothes in the tent at night, but her shoes were still a little crowded, and it hurt if she walked too much.

Of course, these are minor problems, and compared to being on the grassland, it is already very exciting and happy here. So Anicee never complained to anyone.

"Let's go, follow me back to the city. ”

Chen Daolin stretched out his big hand.

Anicee hesitated, blinked his eyes, and slowly put his little hand into Chen Daolin's palm.

Chen Daolin took the little girl's hand, and the two walked towards the newborn walled city together.

......

There is a lot less smoke from the chimney. The scale of the brick kiln has begun to be deliberately controlled under the instruction of Chen Daolin.

For now, Chen Daolin is not in a hurry to expand the output of brick kilns. He didn't really plan to make money by selling bricks, he just had enough production to build a new city on his own.

The problem of lack of manpower still bothered him, and he didn't want to turn all the people in his territory into bricklayers.

This year's production and stock of bricks are enough until the beginning of spring. In winter, Chen Daolin did not plan to forcibly continue to build the walled city. After all, once it snows, the climate in the northwest is also terrible, the soil will freeze, harder than iron, and there will not even be a pit when a hammer is smashed.

At present, there is enough carbon for heating and enough food for winter, and Chen Daolin is generally relieved.

In the northwest, if you can survive the winter without starving to death or freezing to death, it will already be a heaven-like day.

As for the invasion of the steppe people...... Chen Daolin was not too worried.

If the steppe people really fight, there will be the Tulip family's army first, right?

Even if it really hits here, there is still Panin's Thor's whip on the top.

In the end, if it really doesn't work, it's a big deal that Chen Daolin will drag everyone to the northwest fortress, and when the city gate is closed, these other gathering places will be thrown to the grassland people to toss.

The dealers have all harvested, and these broken brick kilns are going to make trouble with them, even if they are all smashed, they are not distressed.

As for the house construction...... If it is left there, the steppe people will not be able to move away.

In fact, compared to others, Chen Daolin prays almost every day.

Pray to God. Hurry up the snow, get the snow on it!

As soon as the first snow falls, it is a sign that winter is coming!!

What does winter mean?

......

"Winter means peace. ”

In his own home, all of Chen Daolin's team gathered in the hall.

Chen Daolin looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I don't care about the grassland people, they may ignore the eastward invasion of Yiqiē, but that is a headache for the Tulip family and Paning, with them in the way, it is not our turn to worry."

I'm worried about the orcs.

But as long as winter really comes, the snow falls, and a heavy snow closes the road, then it is impossible for the orcs to move south on a large scale for at least one winter. In winter, the orcs can only hide in the house.

When it's cold and snowy, the army goes out on the march, unless the orc king has a bad brain.

So...... God forbid, it's snowing!!"

[Regarding the update, I saw a lot of people scolding.

I can only explain it to you very aggrieved.

I've told you at the end of the chapter before.,Recently, there are some things in my house.,It's really hard to ensure that it updates normally.,I can only try to find time to write.,Really can only try.。

I know I'm sorry for everyone, but I really can't do anything other than ask for your bearing.

Fortunately, my father's health is fine, and I will gradually return to my normal work rhythm recently.

This abnormal update doesn't last long.

The other day, I didn't even have time to surf the internet, let alone update the codeword.

Finally, I would like to say two sincere experiences: brothers and friends of my age, we must pay attention to the health of our parents, and if you have time, take the elderly to have a physical examination. When you are old, there will really be a lot of problems, early detection, early treatment~

I wish you all good health and good family!!]
