Little Lord of the Beast World

Chapter 31 Rejection

Wu and the people of the Beishan tribe were not far away from Xuefeng Ridge at this moment, and soon reached the outer gate of the territory.

The tribes invited in these two days will arrive one after another, and two guards have been arranged at the outer gate.Seeing Wu and his party coming back from the guard post, the two youths hurriedly greeted them loudly, and ran down to open the wooden gate.

As soon as they entered the Xuefeng territory, the people of the Beishan tribe keenly felt that the surrounding environment seemed to be different from their tribe.Looking carefully, I found that the fields inside the earthen wall were covered with green seedlings of almost the same height, like a large green blanket, and there were not a few weeds at all.They were all used to all kinds of grass in the field, but when they saw such a beautiful wheat field, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Whoa!Qiu opened his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and recognized that the rye seedlings were planted in the field, and hurriedly asked: "Is it possible that you planted rye before it thawed, how did it grow so tall? Yes, no grass at all?"

Look at these bumpkins!Wu laughed triumphantly: "This is also a new method of farming that our little lord came up with. Although the wheat seedlings have grown so high, it has only been planted for a few days. Hey, I don't know how long it will take to produce grain." Wu also deliberately sighed He took a breath and looked even more in need of a beating.

The field is full of fertility, and there are no weeds competing for nutrients. Of course, the wheat seedlings grow fast.Although Wu, like the villagers, was deeply shocked by this growth rate before, it didn't prevent him from pretending to be calm in front of his old opponent.

The corner of Qiu's mouth twitched, and he replied with duplicity: "You've already said that you've planted a field, so you can brag about it."

"Whether I'm bragging or not, you'll know when it's harvested." Wu continued to be proud, his gray beard curled up and down, looking irritating.

Qiu continued to walk in unhappily, passing flat wheat fields, and found that some fields had been made into a strange shape of one high and one low, and vegetables were planted on the higher mounds. "Why do you grow vegetables like this now?" Qiu had never seen a field ridge before, so he felt that the land looked neat and beautiful.But thinking so in his heart, he still sneered hard: "Why are you so particular now, what's the use of making the ground look so good?"

Wu was not angry either, and pointed at a few vegetable fields with a smile, and asked Qiu: "Look at these green vegetable leaves, have you ever seen them grow so big? There are also those few vegetables that we Xiaolin newly discovered. Haven’t eaten it yet? Let me tell you, it tastes very good and fresh, so I’ll make some for you to try at night.”

Qiu is a little bit frustrated now.It is the dream of all their witches to feed the people of the tribe.The little lord led by Xuefeng even discovered new food, which is really quite remarkable.He almost believed it in his heart, so he snorted: "That kid Xiaolin is really so smart? Could it be a coincidence?"

Wu Dan smiled and said nothing, with a look of winning, he was very angry.

As they talked, they entered the main entrance of the territory, and Qiu was immediately attracted by the groups of pheasants and hares in the nearby pen: "You're not bragging, you really raised so many animals! Did you really raise them from a young age? Don't You caught a half-sized pheasant to fool me?" Qiu still didn't want to believe it.

The adult chickens and ducks captured were distributed to the villagers to eat, and the ducklings and goats were taken to the creek for stocking. Now there are some cute chickens and rabbits in the farm, one ball is yellow and the other is white. Very gratifying.The witch "tsk" disdainfully: "Why do you have so many problems, you old thing? You don't believe in anything, otherwise you will live here and see if we can support us. Our Xiaolin is a genius of herbal medicine, what kind of herbal medicine? I can remember it once. He also brought a lot of notes back from the capital, and to be honest, he knows more than me."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me, I will definitely stay with you for a while." Just after arriving at Xuefeng, Qiu's three views were shocked several times.The clansmen who came with him were similar to him, and they all felt that their eyes were not enough.All kinds of novel changes in Xuefeng's collar made Qiu full of curiosity.

At this time, Xiaolin also got the news, and came to greet them in person: "Grandpa Wu, you've come back, you've worked hard." He respectfully thanked Wu, then turned to the old man beside Wu, and said politely: "Grandpa Qiu! Hello." Grandpa Wu introduced the situation of the Beishan tribe, and just by looking at his age, Xiaolin knew that this must be a Wu from the Beishan tribe.

Qiu was quite gracious towards the younger generation, but not as rascal as he was in front of Jin.He stroked his beard, and said with emotion: "The last time I saw you was more than ten years ago. At that time, you were a little wolf cub, and I even hugged you. Dong is a good man, and you are also a good boy. I hope Xuefeng leader will get better and better under your leadership."

As a shaman of the tribe, Qiu rarely went out, and that time was also to celebrate Lin's birth, so he accepted Dong's invitation to come to Xuefeng to take part in his son's full moon ceremony.Dong returned to the embrace of the Beast God at a young age, but his son was very intelligent at first glance, and his temperament was really outstanding.According to Lao Jin, Xiao Lin is still very studious, and Qiu has already believed that this young man has those talents.

"Thank you for your blessing, I will work hard." Listening to the old man's memories, Xiao Lin was a little lost in thought.A certain guy in the back began to feel sour: who is this old man, I have never seen Xiaolin's animal shape!

This disgruntled guy is naturally Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui was learning singing from Xiao Lin just now, and she was working hard.Xiao Lin is so good, he came up with a particularly nice song, which he sang for Xue Feng.He also selected some people who were good at singing, taught them the songs, and planned to sing them at the bonfire party during the Spring Plowing Festival.Xiaolin led everyone to practice, and Hui also went to join in the fun.No matter how you sing, the voice is the loudest anyway.Hearing that Wu was coming back, Lin came out to greet him, and Hui also followed, who would have heard such news that made him jealous.

Maybe it was because his gaze was too hot, Qiu turned his head and gave Xiao Hui a strange look, Wu then introduced, "This is the young patriarch of the Snow Wolf Clan, named Xiao Hui, who recently visited our territory."

Hui took a step forward, puffed up his chest, and introduced himself energetically: "Hello, I am Xiao Hui from the Snow Wolf Clan, and I am Xiao Lin's best friend." He glanced at Xiao Lin quietly as he spoke.Xiaolin's expression didn't change much, and he didn't stare at him, so he agreed with what he said.From friend to best friend, the progress is so fast, Xiao Hui is super happy.

"Look at this physique, what a great guy." Qiu nodded with a smile, but he was even more surprised in his heart.Are big clans like the Snow Wolf clan cooperating with the Xuefeng leader?Then their Beishan people can't fall behind.He almost made up his mind.

Lin brought a group of Beishan people to the Lord's Mansion, sat down in the living room, and someone brought a set of black pottery cups and poured honey water for everyone.The black pottery cup looks similar, it looks very mysterious and noble, Qiu's eyes straightened again: This pottery cup is too beautiful, even better than the ones from Wangdu!Such good things are casually brought out for everyone to use, why is Xuefeng leader so rich now, no wonder Lao Jin is shaking.Qiu's eyes are extremely hot, and the Beishan people also want to use such beautiful pottery!

"Xiaolin, the whole Beishan clan really wants to learn how to make pottery with you Xuefeng. Whether it's sending people, things or effort, we agree!" Qiu Yan said earnestly, unable to see the doubts before.There are some things that Lao Jin can't say to Lao Jin, but looking at Xiao Lin's quiet face, he can easily say them.

Wu squinted at Qiu: Who on the road was full of disbelief, and why did he change his attitude?Why does this man have two faces?

Qiu Cai ignored Lao Jin's contemptuous eyes and continued to look at Xiao Lin expectantly.

Lin was not in a hurry, and did not immediately agree: "Grandpa Qiu, please wait for a few days. Our tribe has not only mastered the technology of pottery, but also papermaking, and there may be other things in the future. Only relying on our Xuefeng leader , or one or two tribes, it is impossible to finish all. So I asked Grandpa Wu and a few elders to invite you who are close to the tribes. I hope that everyone can work together so that our tribes can Live a good life. Let's discuss after the other tribes have arrived."

Looking at the young man with a calm demeanor in front of him, Qiu stood up suddenly, stroked his chest with his right hand and bowed slightly to Lin: "Your heart is as broad as the sky, and your ambition is as lofty as a mountain peak. We Beishan people are willing to advance and retreat together with Xuefeng leader."

Xiao Lin was taken aback, then stood up and returned a salute: "Thank you for your praise, I will definitely not let you down." At first, Xiao Lin really just wanted to find some people to share the pressure, but after listening to Wu's story, he understood Other tribes were in the same predicament as them, so he slowly changed his mind.If possible, he is willing to develop together with everyone so that more people can live a better life.

That afternoon, Mo Ye, the leader of the tundra, arrived with a dozen or so people.

The area of ​​the Tundra Territory is much smaller than that of the Xuefeng Territory, with a population of just over a hundred people. Compared with the other three tribes, it is farthest from the Xuefeng Territory.They also suffered disasters in winter and couldn't take care of themselves. After Mo Lai's condolences, he only wished that he could not help Xuefeng leader, and he always felt very uncomfortable.This time Mai went to invite him, and Mo came without saying a word.

Mo is an ordinary-looking middle-aged orc, his face has been stained with wind and frost, and he is very loyal.As soon as he saw Lin, he patted the young man's thin shoulder with emotion: "My good boy, I planned to come and have a look these few days, but I didn't expect to hear such good news. Mai told me, what do you want to come up with?" I have come up with a lot of new methods, and I know that the beast god will bless you."

In winter, Mo led people to live in Xuefeng for a period of time and helped with a lot of work. He was a part of the yard in Yuexi Village. Lin felt very kind to this hardworking and simple uncle.

Lin also expressed his gratitude in the way of an orc: "Thank you Uncle Mo for your blessing, the beast god will bless all kind-hearted orcs."

It was the first time Qiu and Mo met, and they chatted quickly.They all want to cooperate with Lin as soon as possible, and they are very optimistic about Lin.Lin asked them to wait for two days, and then discuss cooperation matters when everyone was present.

The next day, the other two tribes also arrived, both led by their chiefs, obviously attaching great importance to the cooperation with Xuefeng leader.

After coming to the Xuefeng Territory, the people of the Claw and Baishi tribes, like the people of the Beishan tribe and the Tundra Territory, immediately noticed the many changes in the Xuefeng Territory: neat wheat seedlings and vegetables in the fields, and mature green vegetables in the farm. Flocks of chickens and ducks, busy but energetic villagers...these are enough for them to be amazed.When they arrived at the lord's mansion, they saw that they even used precious pottery for drinking and eating, and there were many foods on the dining table that they had never seen before. The white mushrooms were so plump and the vegetables were so tender, which made these people feel extremely Shock.

Xuefeng leader actually made pottery and discovered so many new foods, not to mention precious paper!Being able to learn one thing is enough for them to enjoy endlessly. How can this young lord express his willingness to share everything with them? How can we not make them feel ecstatic?They all hurriedly expressed their willingness to learn from Xuefengling, and agreed to any request.

Seeing that the four patriarchs were only interested in being happy, Lin hurriedly poured some cold water on them, and truthfully told them the troubles they might encounter in the future: learning these new technologies may attract the covetousness of certain forces.

The patriarch of the Talon clan is named Xun, and he has a bad temper.He looked a bit fierce, and he was the first to express his attitude by slapping the table: "Where is there such a good thing in the world if you want benefits but don't want to cause trouble? If you want to eat meat, you have to hunt. Every year, villagers lose their lives because of hunting. Don't we want to eat meat? We don't want to live a life of hardship. Whoever dares to rob us, we will do it with him. Lord Xiaolin, you are a big deal, and you are willing to lead us to live a good life together. We can't I don’t know what’s good and what’s wrong. If I didn’t say anything, we’ll do it with you.”

Lin was very surprised. The patriarch of the Claw Clan looked a little reckless on the outside, but he didn't expect to see the problem very thoroughly.That's right, isn't it just because they are afraid of being coveted by others that they don't develop their territories?Lin couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.

His temperament is sometimes too cautious, thinking too much, and lacking drive.No matter what kind of danger he will encounter in the future, he will never give up developing the territory, and those worries are unnecessary.

The preparations that should be made must be made in advance. You can't expect to act low-key and let others ignore you. This is too passive.To protect your homeland, you need to train manpower, expand your armed forces, and research more advanced weapons and equipment.At that time, whoever dares to stretch out his hand will make him come and go.

The three patriarchs and one witch are all the kind of people who are so courageous that they can stand up to the sky. Even Mo, who has the most honest personality, said: "The patriarch of Claw is right. We are all willing to work with Lord Xiaolin. When something happens Don't complain to any of us, it's all arranged by the Beast God. Let's do something, Xiao Lin, just say it."

Seeing their resolute attitude, Lin spoke of the cooperation method after discussing with Wu and the others.Of course, those technologies cannot be given for free. No one cherishes free things, and the four families have to provide some food.Wu and the others knew the situation of each tribe very well, and the numbers proposed were acceptable to everyone.

In addition to food, each family has to send more than [-] people, and at least two or three of them must be craftsmen with certain experience in the tribe. This way they can learn skills faster, and everyone else has to work hard.These people are going to help Xuefeng leader do a year's work.Several families also decided to form an alliance to advance and retreat together. If one family was in danger, the other families would do their best to help.After mastering the technology, the things made by each family, in addition to their own use, have to negotiate how much to exchange and where to sell, so as to avoid competition with each other.

The patriarchs were very grateful to see Xuefeng leader's request so lenient.This is no different from giving away for nothing!The food is not much, as for the manpower, what is it.To them, people are the least valuable, and this must be Lord Xiaolin's care for them.Who told them to be so poor, they couldn't produce any good things, it was so embarrassing.Fortunately, Lord Xiaolin is kind-hearted and willing to take them with him. They must follow Xiaolin well!

In fact, in Lin's view, manpower is also a precious resource.The territory is too short of people now, especially those who know some knowledge and technology, and they can't find many in the territory.At this time, there are no channels to recruit people, and we can only cultivate them slowly.Wu and the others each hold multiple positions, and they are all used by Xiao Lin as several people.Fortunately, there is no labor law at this time, otherwise the unscrupulous boss Xiaolin will definitely be sued.

There are at least 80 people from the four tribes, let alone literate people, which can relieve the pressure for a period of time.Xiaolin only regrets that there is too little time and not enough manpower. He now wants to have a few hundred more laborers, so that the numerous work plans in his small notebook can be carried out better.There are several projects on Xiaolin's schedule that will start soon, and manpower is urgently needed.

The first is to pave the main roads of the territory with gravel before the rainy summer days.Xuefeng collar has a dry climate, which is usually fine, but there is a lot of rain in July and August, and these dirt roads will become muddy by then, which is very inconvenient.The main road and the road from the Lord's Mansion to several workshops should at least be repaired.Then some canals will be dug for the farmland to divert water, and a wall will be built over the paper and pottery workshops.Now it is simply blocked by a fence, and Yan and Uncle lead the guards to guard in turn.

Everyone confirmed the alliance and happily discussed the cooperation details.Every item of cooperation has been written down on paper, together with today's five alliances, all written clearly in black and white on yellow paper.Someone copied out four copies of the alliance letter, Lin signed his name at the end of each copy, and the four patriarchs also held a quill in novelty, signed their names on the back, and kept praising: "This thing is beautiful!" It works, really good."

"Later, I will give you a trial copy. If you have any comments, you can talk about it and improve it." Xiao Lin said with a smile.

The four chiefs each received a copy of the covenant, holding the thin light yellow paper, as if they had found a treasure, and carefully wrapped them in animal skins.Then they were impatient and prepared to leave, wishing they could fly back to the tribe immediately, and quickly gather people to come to Xuefeng to learn advanced experience.

Lin politely asked a few people to stay: "Don't be so anxious. Today is the Spring Plowing Festival in our territory. We will hold a bonfire party to reward the villagers for their hard work during this time, and to commend the hardest-working villagers. Please be sure to attend, It’s also a celebration of our five families forming an alliance.”

It sounds like a lot of fun. After the spring plowing, there will be a festival. Xuefeng leader really has a way, and we have to learn from it in the future.As soon as the four chiefs heard that there was something exciting to watch, they were not in a hurry anymore.Orcs will not miss any festivals. The Spring Plowing Festival must be held once a year. If you miss it for a year, you will regret it. You must participate.The four of them agreed at once, and said enthusiastically: "Then let's help with the preparations, and see what new things you have made."

Lin arranged for someone to take them to visit the territory, and then came back by himself, sitting cross-legged at a low table, writing a new work plan while thinking with a quill.After a while, I saw Hui running over in a hurry. Before he could catch his breath, he squatted down and stared at him in a daze: "Xiao Lin, I heard that you want to form an alliance with those tribes? Why did you put us The Snow Wolf Clan forgot! What do you think of our Snow Wolf Clan? We also produce people and things, so you take one of us."

Xiao Hui looked at Xiao Lin anxiously.Xiao Lin looked at him thoughtfully, Xiao Hui smiled and scratched his head: "Can't you? Our tribe is not bad. I just didn't know that you need someone to help you with the work, otherwise I wouldn't let the tribe Let's go. There are hundreds of people in my vanguard, and I can bring you at least half of them when I go back."

Lin really hoped to establish a cooperative relationship with the Snow Wolf Clan, but it was only for business cooperation, and the time was not so early.As for the alliance, it is not in his plan for the time being.Because the strength of the Snow Wolf tribe is much stronger than that of their own territory, the relationship between the two sides is unequal, and if they cooperate with such a large tribe, they may end up becoming their vassal.

Lin was still thinking about how to refuse, but Hui seemed to understand his concerns, and suddenly sat up straight, stroked his chest, and swore solemnly: "God of the Beast, as long as I am here, our Snow Wolf Clan will never die." It will not harm the Xuefeng leader. If there is any violation, let me be buried in the beast tide."

The orc took the oath very seriously, Hui Man thought that Xiao Lin would believe him if he said this.Unexpectedly, Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became angry: "Can this be used to swear?" Xiao Hui actually swore on his own life, which made Lin want to scold him severely.This kind of thing is not for you to use casually to coax people.

"Ah, me, I just want Xiaolin to believe me." Seeing that Xiaolin's face turned paler with anger, Hui was a little flustered, and quickly explained: "Xiaolin, don't be angry. I will definitely do what I said , those bad things won’t come true, you don’t have to worry.”

Lin calmed down a little, thinking that this guy is only 15 years old, and it's normal for him to speak immaturely.But he was angry and didn't want to pay attention to this guy, so he refused firmly: "I don't think you can represent your tribe, so let's leave it at that. After a while, I will personally come to discuss cooperation with Patriarch Yue. "

Does Xiao Lin think that he is childish and useless?Feeling anxious, he knelt down on the mat with a bitter face, and apologized desperately: "I'm sorry Xiaolin, I said something wrong, and I will never say that again in the future. You don't need to run so far, my mother will definitely say the same."

"You didn't apologize to me, but I don't want to think about it for the time being." Lin turned his head to the side, showing a gesture of refusal, "You go out first, I still have things to do."

"Ah!" Hui felt as if struck by lightning.Xiao Lin had the best temper, it was the first time he reprimanded him so angrily, and even drove him out, Xiao Hui was so ashamed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground. "Then, then you are busy, I'll go, I'll go to the farm." He blushed, stood up, took a slow step and turned his head, as if a big stone had fallen on his foot, and he didn't go out for a long time.But Xiao Lin didn't look at him at all, Xiao Hui had excellent eyesight, and could only see the lovely silver-white hair swirls on top of his head.He stared blankly at the little hair for a while, then moved to the door dejectedly.
