Chapter 47 One Man Against Three Oxen
Chapter 47 One Man Against Three Oxen
Zi Yi was somewhat puzzled by the efficiency with which the bear-beastmen worked.
"Master, isn't this a bit too little?"
"She said it herself."
"it is good."
Zi Yi turned to the large cave and gave the order. Soon after, the aroma of cooking bread wafted out.
Two goblins carried out a bronze bucket.
Li Mosi picked up the whip and swung it.
Snapped!
The loud sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Li Mosi pointed to the copper bucket and said, "Come and eat, everyone!"
The slave pulling weeds threw the weeds in his hand out of the field and got up to walk towards the copper bucket.
"They're here!"
Enlian put down the hoe in her hand, and was about to take a step when she turned her head to look at the bean seedlings around her. She then stepped out of the field and walked around the edge of the field.
The five prisoners, who were hoeing the ground, looked at each other and did not dare to leave immediately.
They didn't move until Enlian responded.
The prisoners ate from the wooden bowls they brought with them.
Zi Yi served food to the first group of slaves who came to weed, and they were taken aback when they saw that the bowl contained only soup made from softened old bread.
Although they did prepare some leftover bread as food when they set off, that was all they had...
They looked at each other.
Kaken, who was holding one hand back, was the first to react: "Don't block the way here."
The other three weeding slaves nodded and walked away to the side.
They sat on the side, holding their bowls and drinking.
It's already an act of kindness to make them do such an easy job.
We can't ask for more.
Five prisoners of loose soil arrived shortly afterward, and upon seeing the stale bread soup in the bowl, they finally understood why the four slaves had been standing there for a while.
Even the slaves' food had to include some wild vegetables and fruits.
Well, at least there's a good amount of bread.
Lasso decided to put up with it.
However, Lacas nudged his captain lightly: "Captain, this..."
"Get lost, go eat!"
Lasso casually slapped his hand away and walked towards the four weeding slaves.
This way of eating should keep you going for a while without any problems.
But if anyone dares to raise objections, they'll be in trouble right now!
BYD Lacas, who himself was whipped but dared not speak out, wanted him to speak out.
Yesterday was also the day he gave the fastest explanation.
People are utterly wicked!
Lacas then looked at the other three guys, but they all turned their heads away, avoiding his gaze.
He had no choice but to carry the food and follow Lasso.
Enlian was the last to arrive.
She picked up the last wooden bowl and waited for Ziyi to serve her food.
Zi Yi filled the bowl with a spoon, and she simply picked up the wooden bowl and tilted her head back to gulp it down.
She licked her lips and held out the bowl again: "Again!"
Zi Yi filled her cup again.
She tilted her head back, and the bowl was emptied again.
In the end, Zi Yi gave her the last bit left in the bucket, so she could drink a little more than half a bowl.
"Hiccup~~~"
After tilting her head back three times, Enlian let out a loud burp and then walked towards the farmland.
This situation left the Holy Maiden completely bewildered.
Li Mosi began to interrogate: "Look at others, they can eat three bowls of boiled bread in one go, but you have to prepare to drink just one bowl of soup with meat in it."
He had just finished eating and was about to feed Haki Saint.
As a result, she had to mentally prepare herself before eating it.
By the standards of that era, the porridge they had been making these past two days with wheat biscuits, cured meat, and smoked meat was definitely a refined grain.
Even Haki Saint looked troubled.
He doesn't even dare to think about what he usually eats.
"Um."
The saintess didn't say much, she just frowned.
"I'm ready, go ahead and drink it."
Li Mosi pinched her nose and poured the contents into her mouth.
Glug glug~
"Uh~"
The saintess suppressed her voice and let out a soft burp.
Seeing that Li Mosi was about to gag herself with vines again, she quickly spoke up.
"Wait! This is making it impossible for me to think! I haven't been able to figure out what the problem is for the past few days!"
Is it because you're too stupid?
Li Mosi looked at Hagi Saint speechlessly.
However, she has been quite cooperative these past few days, and she doesn't breathe out so much like she did the first two days.
He thought for a moment and then tossed the vines aside.
"Take your time to think about it."
The saintess's eyes widened when she saw him throw down the vines.
The craftsman actually agreed?
With her mouth gagged, she felt her breathing was strange, and it was also difficult for her to think.
Now it's finally back to normal.
She can finally think straight!
"Leader! Leader!"
A slightly chubby goblin ran towards Ziyi, squeaking as it went.
Zi Yi had the two goblins take the copper bucket away and asked, "What happened? You're greedy for meat."
After catching his breath, Greedy Meat said, "Those humans, how many of them wanted to slack off while working..."
Zi Yi frowned.
Is that all?
Why not just poke them a few times with a spearhead?
"We poked them a few times with spears at first, and they behaved themselves. But there were two that kept slacking off, no matter how we poked them, they wouldn't budge. I came back to ask if we could kill them."
Even if these humans kill and eat, it's only with the leader's permission.
They dared not touch the meat because they were greedy.
Zi Yi asked, "Were those two wearing wool sweaters?"
"No, it's because I'm wearing a thin leather jacket."
He was a full-time employee of the slave-catching team.
Zi Yi walked up to Li Mosi and said, "Master, there are two guys in the logging team below who are slacking off, just like them."
As he spoke, he pointed to the group of five hoeers.
Li Mosi nodded, picked up the whip, and stood up.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Enlian had already started swinging her hoe.
Li Mosi glanced at the unusually enthusiastic bear-beastmen, then at the prisoners huddled together chatting while holding bowls.
Snapped!
He lashed the ground with his whip and shouted, "Eat up and get to work!"
What are you dawdling about?!
"Yes, sir."
Lacas dropped the empty bowl and ran towards the field.
The others quickly finished eating and followed suit.
That was loud!
Greedy Meat was startled just now.
It makes such a loud noise when you whip it; it must hurt a lot if it hits someone.
Li Mosi put away the rattan whip and handed it to Zi Yi, who then handed it to Tan Rou.
"Take it and use it."
"Wow!"
Greedy Meat nodded, picked up his whip, and left.
Zi Yi looked at his former teacher.
Li Mosi sat back down and started weaving the second whip, only occasionally looking up to see if anyone was slacking off.
Fortunately, no.
On the contrary, Enlian entered a state of flow, just like Li Moss when she was making weapons.
Hoe the ground, break up clods of soil, and back away.
Hoe the ground, break up clods of soil, and back away.
Enlian felt as if she had returned to her childhood, to the time when she helped her family farm.
However, they only turn the soil before sowing, and after turning it, they simply scatter the seeds one by one.
They wouldn't be planted so neatly.
Unfortunately, she only sent back food this time, and it seemed she would have to stay.
However, all of this is necessary for the sake of happiness.
Surely a strong bear-orc is not even as strong as a goblin?
I must make my late teacher acknowledge me!
Snapped!
With this in mind, Enlian swung her hoe with even more vigor.
When Li Mosi looked up again, the sunlight began to turn red.
He looked around and saw that the five prisoners hoeing the land had loosened more than three acres of soil.
This efficiency is quite normal.
Compacted soil is not so easy to deal with.
He walked a little further away and looked towards where Enlian was.
"?"
She cultivated four acres of land!
They can work four acres of land in an afternoon, which is even more impressive than the oxen pulling heavy plows on the estate!
