Chapter 9

No one knew when No. [-] and No. [-] came back, but they were still standing on the city wall when they got up early.

next morning.Ono released many mosquito-sized flying cameras, flying in all directions to explore unknown maps.

The people got up one after another.

Pay attention to getting some water to wipe your face, and those who are used to fleeing go out directly.The men put on their clothes and waited at the gate of the city.Women with children tie the baby behind their backs with cloth, so that they can work without delaying taking care of the children.

City gate gathering place.

As the sky grew brighter, more and more people gathered.Wei Zhou and Yuan You arrived together.

The slaves sat or stood, knowing that they were not welcome, and distanced themselves from the crowd.

Everyone stood in disorder, looking forward to it.

"Everyone has worked hard to open up wasteland today." Yuan You stood up and spoke, "The new city owner is kind-hearted and understands that it is not easy for the slaves to work in shackles. This order is to remove the shackles. Slaves, please stand up. Take off the shackles before we Good job."

Everyone was stunned.

The slaves couldn't believe it.They have been shackled since birth, and they don't know what it's like to be free.

Leng Yi took the lead and stood up first.

Wei Zhou nodded in satisfaction and motioned to the soldiers beside him.Two soldiers stepped forward and opened the shackles.

The mold of the shackles is universal, and the keys are not bad.

If it doesn't work once, try a few more times and it will always open.

The shackles were undone and the soldiers put away.

Leng Yi felt that his hands and feet had never been so easy. It turned out that the shackles were such a heavy thing.

Freedom is so beautiful that he is a little at a loss.My body was not used to it, and I almost fell to one side when I moved.

"Don't take up space. Next." The soldier pushed Leng Yi aside.Immediately, slaves came over, and they lined up consciously.

Finally it was Fang Youan's turn.

Wei Zhou and Yuan You couldn't help being surprised, they supposedly became servants in the city lord's courtyard, but they didn't have to come.

But when people come, they won't say anything.

A pair of shackles were removed, some people wept with joy, and some stood there in a daze.They never thought that one day they would be able to remove the shackles.

The hands, feet, and body are so relaxed, like a newborn.

"The city lord is merciful, you have to work hard in return." Yuan You reminded them, observing them quietly.

Although he asks for grace, he does not want anyone to be ungrateful.If you really don't know what is good or bad, you can only expel them.

"Thank you, the city lord, for releasing us. We must work hard in return. Thank you, the city lord, thank you, the city lord..."

With a thank you, the slaves were very excited.

Yuan You didn't see anyone with a wrong expression, so he nodded in relief.Still acquainted.

"It's lively." Zhu Qinghong in a red dress came over.Everyone looked over and was instantly amazed.

She rolled up her hair and put her hair in a bun.

The red and green hairband hangs down behind her head, fluttering and dancing when the wind blows.A strand of hair hangs from the sideburns, adding a touch of tenderness to her flamboyant beauty.Green top, red skirt, dark patterns are complex and delicate.

The tassel accessories around the waist collided with her movements, creating a different kind of beauty.With perfect makeup and gorgeous jewelry, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy in the sky.Zhu Qinghong's beautiful eyes flowed, how suffocating.

Her red lips were slightly raised, and her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming.

"See the city lord." Yuanyou was the first to respond.

Wei Zhou regained consciousness immediately, bowed his head and saluted.

Then the soldiers and the people.

Fang You'an knelt down to salute, and shouted the city lord.

The slaves followed suit.

The people hesitated for a moment, then followed the crowd and knelt down.

"See the city lord" in unison, what the hearts of the people want.

Zhu Qinghong smiled and raised his hand: "Get up. Master Yuan, leave the city."

"Yes." Yuan You looked at Wei Zhou.

Wei Zhou immediately asked the soldiers to open the city gate.

The people stood up one after another and made way for the road.

The city gate opened slowly, and Zhu Qinghong was the first to walk out of the city.Yuanyou and Weizhou followed, followed by the common people.

Except for the soldiers standing guard, everyone left the city in mighty force.When Zhu Qinghong came to the forest where he lived that night, the terrain was flat and endless.The space door opened, and a cylindrical robot wearing a doctor's hat appeared.

It spits out a piece of paper with a floor plan drawn on it.

Yuanyou took it, and looked at it with Wei Zhou for some reason.

Zhu Qinghong turned around: "One by one, come empty-handed. Shall we dig wasteland by hand?"

Some people did the work and carried hoes.

Some people looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately turned back to the city to get tools.Zhu Qinghong beckoned for the man with the hoe to come forward.

She turned the paper in Yuanyou's hand around: "It's the wrong way. This is the planning and design of the cultivated land."

Judging from their expressions, Zhu Qinghong knew that they didn't understand.

The doctor hat robot rolls on the ground and draws a straight line.

[Plan the ground within the line for planting.In groups of three, plan at least three times before planting.Please act as soon as possible. 】

The three men with hoes went over immediately and waved the hoes to plan.One hoe after another, the soil was compacted, and the hands were numb from the shock.

In order to survive, this bit of suffering is nothing.

They continued digging without saying a word. The three of them had a clear division of labor, and one of them was responsible for digging.After digging a piece of land, they exchanged orders.After all, the person who planed the first time will suffer, and no one will take advantage of the other in rotation.

Zhu Qinghong had a good impression of these three people, so he asked for their names.Lin Mu, Tian Wei, Fang Ye, the local people of Tianchong City.

They are neighbors and good hands at work.Since the farmland was destroyed, they became soldiers to protect their families.

She nodded and gave them certain authority to manage some people.Be a group leader.

After all, there is ability, and it cannot be buried.

Others brought tools and began to work under Wei Zhou's command.Some people have never done it before, and Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye are in charge of teaching.It's not difficult, practice makes perfect.After learning, all that is left is to work hard.

Being lazy will be looked down upon by everyone.

It is very tiring and bitter, but everyone is very sweet in their hearts.

They know that digging is not for others, but just to fill their stomachs.

Serve at noon.

Everyone lined up at the gate of the city to get food, each with a thick noodle steamed bun and a bowl of porridge.After a busy morning, my stomach was growling with hunger.Everyone gobbled it up, not afraid of choking at all.

After eating one by one, I licked the bowls clean, not full.

Women with children, feed the children with gruel first.

Chew steamed buns by yourself and drink some soup.

Zhu Qinghong was very impressed with her.

I worked hard and didn't make any demands because of taking the children.Tough women are pleasing, but Zhu Qinghong does not give special treatment.

After lunch, digging started again.

No. [-] and No. [-] escorted them, during which monsters invaded and they were all beaten away.

The people trembled from the beginning to concentrate on their work in the end.Number One and Number Two give them an unprecedented sense of security.

It was getting dark, and everyone slowly returned to the city.

Only one meal a day is provided, and they drink water or endure it when they are hungry at night.Enduring hunger, looking forward to eating at noon tomorrow.To harvest enough food, a lot of wasteland must be reclaimed.

These days they dig the ground in addition to digging.

More and more land has been dug out, and the grain in the grain depot is getting less and less.Yuanyou was very impatient, and he swallowed it every time he opened his mouth.

The flying camera sent back a lot of pictures, and found a small river in the south.Up the river, there is a river.

The small river is a branch of the river, and the water source is guaranteed.Although the water source was found, it was not so easy to attract it.

The distance is a bit far, and there are many monsters along the way.Demons also need to eat and drink, and naturally gather more near the water source.

On Zhu Qinghong's table was a map that appeared after exploration, with a river to the south and a city to the north.

It is bigger than Tianchong City.

There is a forest in the west and a big country in the east.The forest is better than here, at least it looks lush.

When Yuanyou entered, he saw Zhu Qinghong staring at the table in a daze.Zhu Qinghong waved: "Do you know what's going on in the forest to the west?"

He went over and was amazed by the breadth of the map.

Yuan You scanned the map and replied: "I read about it in the book, the Forest of Demons."

With only one name, he probably knows what Lin Zi is like.The lair of demons, no wonder the flying camera is folded inside.

Zhu Qinghong stretched out his hand and pointed to the river in the south: "If you want to irrigate the fields, you must have sufficient water. Although there are many monsters here, it is not impossible to operate. But we are currently short of manpower. Even if there are no monsters to interfere, we cannot attract the river water."

【Master, Ono can bring water here.Buried pipes in the ground will not be destroyed.Safe and secure. 】

Ignoring Ono, Zhu Qinghong continued: "So this water source is just for filing. After all, we still have well water to drink."

Yuan You looked up at her, those quiet eyes said everything.He cupped his hands: "The reclamation of the wasteland is going well, when will the seeds be planted?"

"Tomorrow." Zhu Qinghong put away the map and said, "Divide the people into two parts. Continue to dig the ground while planting seeds."

"Yes. I'll do it right away." Yuanyou bowed and stepped back.

Zhu Qinghong smiled, knowing that Yuanyou understood what she meant.

【Master, as long as you put on the mech to buy time.Ono promised to bring the water.why not? 】

"Xiaoye, people only cherish what they get with difficulty." Zhu Qinghong stood up, "We have done everything, what use are these subordinates? I will give them a goal and let them do their best to complete it. sweet."

No matter how many years it takes, she has patience.

Zhu Qinghong hopes to see that the common people use their wisdom and labor to do what they can.

Instead of relying on her everywhere.Knowing that she is interested in the source of water, I am really looking forward to what Yuanyou will do.

Wei Zhou just entered the mansion, and it was strange to see Yuan You's distraught appearance.

"What happened?" he asked.

"General Wei, there is a river in the south." Yuanyou sighed, "It is an indispensable source of water for us. However, monsters block the way, so it is not easy to fetch. How do you think we can attract water? How many years will it take to achieve it? "

"Drain water from the eyes of the demon?" Wei Zhou was shocked, "You are too whimsical. It is impossible."

Yuan You looked directly at Wei Zhou: "Is it really impossible? General Wei, any great thing is just wishful thinking before it succeeds."

Once successful, it is a feat.Diversion of water sources will benefit future generations, and this benefit will last forever.

They have to do it and do it well.

"Are you serious?" Wei Zhou said helplessly, "Do you know that we don't even know where the next month's food is now? Instead of thinking about water sources that are out of reach, look in front of you. First find a way to get food to fill our stomachs. Everyone's belly."

"Yes. You are right." Yuanyou cupped his hands, then turned and left.

Wei Zhou was at a loss as to what to do with the food...

Yuanyou came home and sat at the table in a daze.

He turned his head to look at the mechanical bird on his shoulder, and touched its eyes with his hand.The next moment, Yuan You entered a place full of books.

With a thought in his mind, countless books flew over.

Yuanyou caught one and read it carefully.
