Chapter 546 Digging a Trench

Outside the camp, 20 meters to the east.

The few Egret prisoners who were captured yesterday were still sweating profusely digging trenches.

From last night until the sun rose and the moon set, these guys didn't have any rest during the whole process.

As long as anyone is a little lazy, what awaits him is the cane whip in Blake's hand. With a "snap" of the whip, a bloodstain immediately appeared on his body.

These prisoners of war did not dare to resist or be lazy, even if they were exhausted, they had to continue to work.

"How are these guys, honestly?"

"Return to Master, everything is going well here."

"Fine, go on."

Equation came behind Blake and checked the digging of the trench by the way.

After a night of excavation last night, the progress of the project is about the same as expected by the equation. A horizontal ditch about 20 meters long has been dug out on the ground. The current length is just the same as the wall of the base, but it is still wide and deep. Far from meeting the requirements of the equation.

But Equation also knows that digging a trench is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project, and it is not bad that these few prisoners can dig out this appearance in one night.

Standing at the scene and watching the captives dig for another hour, Fang Fang looked at his watch, and it was already eight o'clock in the morning, which meant that these guys had been working day and night until now.

"It's almost done, let's take them back." Fang Fang said lightly.

"Stop digging?" Blake asked.

Fang Fang said: "I won't dig anymore. You can see that they are exhausted. Take them back and give them some food. After eating, tie them in a corner and send someone to watch them."

Blake nodded yes, and yelled at the prisoners who were still working.

Those guys obediently put down the hoes in their hands, crawled out of the trench, stood crookedly in a row, and bowed to Fang Fang in salute.

Equation was slightly surprised, glanced at Blake, and asked, "You taught them?"

Blake said embarrassingly: "I told them that you are our leader, let them respect you."

"Okay, take it back."

Fang Fang waved his hand, on the surface calm, but in his heart it was quite useful.

I have to say that Blake is really smart. Among the prisoners of war, he has the strongest learning ability. He has learned the HX language the fastest, and now he can enjoy discussing equations.

After Blake took all the captives back, Fang Fang stayed alone in front of the ditch, staring at the shallow ditch in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Fengmei came behind Fangfang. From the pace of his walking, it can be seen that he is recovering well, and the impact of the abdominal injury on him is gradually decreasing.

Fang Fang smiled slightly, and asked concerned: "Is the wound better?"

Lu Fengmei said: "It's much better. It's thanks to you who let me recuperate well. You didn't even let me go to the battlefield for such an important thing as fighting barbarians."

"From your tone, it seems that you are complaining to me?"

Fang Fang was joking, of course he knew that Lu Fengmei was saying that on purpose, and he would not really be dissatisfied with it.

Lu Fengmei also said very cooperatively: "Of course I have. Next time when barbarians come to fight, I must go to the battlefield and fight them."

"Okay, no problem!" Fang Fang suddenly teased, "It's no problem on my side, but what about Shizi, can she let you go to the battlefield?"

"Are you kidding? You don't need to ask her about such a trivial matter. Of course, I have the final say!" Lu Fengmei said loudly.

"is it?"

"Of course!"

"Really?"

"necessary……"

Lu Fengmei was still trying to be brave, but she faintly felt that something was wrong, that Fang Fang was setting him up.

Suddenly, Lu Fengmei felt a sense of danger behind her, and slowly turned her head to look.Sure enough, Ichiko Asai was standing behind her, smiling softly at her.

Fang Fang didn't think it was a big deal, so he added fuel to the fire and said, "Shizi, Lao Lu said that he must go to the battlefield next time, do you agree with it?"

Shizi Asai's eyebrows were submissive, and he looked like Nadeshiko Yamato, and said softly: "Mr. Lu says what, Shizi has no objection."

"Yo heh."

Fang Fang couldn't help letting out a sigh, and looked at Lu Fengmei with envious eyes, and he really let him pick up the treasure.

Lu Fengmei laughed so heartily that she almost wrote the word "happiness" on her face. After smiling for a while, she suppressed her smile and asked in a serious manner, "Shizi, why are you here?"

Ichiko Asai said softly, "I'm worried about you, so I followed you."

"My injury is fine, you go back first, I want to talk to Fang Fang."

Lu Fengmei wanted to send Asai Shizi away, but Asai Shizi didn't seem to want to go away.

Seeing the inseparable posture of the two, Fang Fang smiled and said, "Okay, Shi Zi wants to be with you, so don't ruin his good intentions, stay here."

Lu Fengmei became anxious, and said: "This is a matter between us men, what's so nice about her as a woman."

Fang Fang waved his hand and said: "It's almost done, just the three of us, don't make a fool of yourself, there is nothing you can't say."

"It's also..." Lu Fengmei murmured softly, and then talked about the topic of coming to find the equation, "I also saw these dug up soils, and suddenly I had an idea, maybe these soils can be used. use."

"Oh, what's the use?" Fang Fang was looking forward to it, wanting to hear Lu Fengmei's opinion.

Lu Fengmei said: "These soils seem to be sticky, maybe they can be used to burn bricks."

Equation was a little stunned, "Bricks?" He was familiar with the lime and stone before, and it was difficult to turn to bricks all at once.

Previously, all the buildings on the northern island used stone as the main material, because there was not much soil on the northern island, and the limited soil was used to grow crops, so building houses, arrow towers, prisons, sheepfolds, etc. They are all stones that are the easiest to mine.

But the situation on this island is different now. This island has no shortage of soil. Using the soil from digging trenches to burn bricks can just solve the problem of soil. It is simply an excellent way to kill two birds with one stone.

"But do we know how to burn bricks?" Equation was a little confused.

Lu Fengmei said confidently: "Brick firing requires a brick kiln. We can't build a big brick kiln. We can build a small brick kiln first and try it step by step. Anyway, there is a lot of soil and wood on this island. With so many resources, I am afraid that we will not be able to get it done." Come out of a brick kiln."

Fang Fang was overjoyed, put his arms around Lu Fengmei and said with a smile: "Old Lu, you are right, I am right, you will really surprise me."

Shizi Asai was also happy, looking at Lu Fengmei with eyes full of admiration.

"When will the brick-burning start?" Equation seemed the most anxious.

"Now you can."
