At this time, limestone mines.
A group of goblins are digging minerals with great effort, fearing that they will fall behind others.
After a while, when they finished one new mine, they moved on to the next one.
When I got to the next one, I heard a shout.
"It's break time!"
With just one sentence, the group of goblins quickly came out of the mine and came to a well-built shed.
The greenhouse is an open-air kitchen, where several pots of noodles are emitting steam.
The goblins held their bowls and lined up in a familiar manner, waiting for the other party to distribute food.
A large chopstick of noodles, topped with broth, minced meat, vegetables and other ingredients is a top delicacy in the eyes of the goblins.
Among them, many goblins had never thought that they would be able to eat such delicious food in their lifetime.
...
...
But these days, this is all they eat.
It was also while they were eating that there was some movement in a bush near them.
The goblins were no longer as timid as before, but instead looked expectantly towards the source of the sound.
At this time, a group of people carried several huge demon sheep from behind the bushes. When they saw the goblins, they smiled and said, "Let's have a roasted whole sheep together tonight."
A group of goblins listened and nodded wildly.
Although the noodles are delicious, the roasted whole lamb is more fragrant.
For a moment, many goblins felt that they could continue doing this job for a few more days, or even better, never stop.
"Smoore, how is it? I didn't lie to you!" While the goblins were showing off their food crazily, Mills spoke to another clan leader, Smoore, in a small tent not far away, as if showing off.
Small looked at Mills' smug expression and after a long while squeezed out a "hmm" from his throat.
He had indeed never imagined that humans would be so kind to the goblins.
My thoughts couldn't help but go back to a few days ago.
This group of goblins had been constantly changing their gathering places, and finally found this relatively secluded place, where they spent some time in peace.
However, they did not expect that they were discovered by a slave-trading mercenary group, who launched an attack on them after investigation. Under the powerful military suppression, they could only barely hold on by relying on the geographical advantage.
At that time, the mercenary team, which had been unable to capture the city for a long time, simply chose to attack with fire.
A large amount of thick smoke continuously poured into the cave where they were hiding under the command of a wind magician.
"Cough cough cough..." The thick smoke made the goblins inside unable to stop coughing.
"If you don't want to die, just surrender!"
Because thick smoke is also deadly.
These mercenaries believed that faced with death and loss of freedom, the goblins would most likely choose the latter.
As for Small, he was also wondering whether he should choose to compromise in order to survive.
After all, he hoped that his people could survive.
Just when they were at a loss, Mills appeared with a group of people.
In a very short time, the mercenaries were driven away.
They were happy when they saw their goblin companions, but when they saw the humans accompanying them, they were more afraid that it was a trap.
In the end, only Mills and other goblins entered their cave, told them about Hope Village, and tried their best to invite them to live in Hope Village.
After a violent struggle, he agreed to give it a try.
Because he understood that if the other party really had malicious intentions, if they refused, their fate would still be miserable, so it would be better for them to accept it, which would give them a certain probability of living a normal life.
My thought at that time was just to give it a try, after all, I had the backing of a fellow tribesman.
We can only believe that "goblins don't deceive goblins".
As a result, they turned to humans
Even though they were still invited to mine later, copper coins were actually delivered to each of them every day, allowing them to experience the joy of having money in their hands.
In addition to the copper coins, they can also eat and drink for free.
They had never dared to imagine a day like this.
"It will be the same if we go to the Hope Village you mentioned, right?" Small couldn't help but ask.
The present days were too good, which made him feel a little scared. He was afraid that everything he was experiencing was just an illusion.
I want to get reassurance from my companions again.
"It's the same. It will be better there." Mills said confidently, "You can choose to work in the territory, or open your own shop, and your children can be sent to school..."
As Small listened, his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
Listening to the scenes described by Mills, he couldn't wait to visit Hope Village.
Speaking of which, these days of getting along with each other have given him a little more confidence in humans.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the laughter of a group of goblin cubs.
Following the direction of the sound, I saw Zhou Zhengping and other soldiers returning with the goblin cubs.
And their arms were filled with a lot of fruits.
Obviously, these fruits were picked by Zhou Zhengping and his friends for these little guys.
At this time, the little cub Koro from the Smoor family came to him happily, picked out the reddest fruit, and said happily, "Father, eat the fruit."
"Where can we pick the fruits?" Small lowered his voice and spoke softly.
"There were a lot of monsters just ahead, but they were quickly dealt with by the uncles. They are very powerful. I want to be a warrior like them in the future." Ke Luo raised his head with a look of longing.
When goblins like Smoor are in harsh environments, they will try their best to protect their cubs whenever they can and prevent them from suffering the torture of life too early. Therefore, the cubs still maintain their rare passion and innocence.
As they grow up, Small's biggest fear is letting them face the cruel reality, and how to tell them?
One of the reasons why he was willing to take a chance was because of these cubs.
Seeing how they were looking forward to life and the future, Small felt more at ease.
At this time, Zhou Zhengping had also arrived.
But unlike when he left, there were several magic pigeons resting on Zhou Zhengping's shoulders, looking like magical pets.
"This is..." Mills on the side asked bluntly.
He has a good relationship with Zhou Zhengping, so naturally he won't beat around the bush.
"These are the magic pigeons flying from Hope Village to deliver messages. They are here to deliver a letter." Zhou Zhengping said directly, with a faint smile in his eyes.
When his son Xiaobai was concerned about the progress of mining, he also gave him a caring letter from his wife, which made him feel very good.
This is the loving care from my dear wife!
"Does the village chief have any instructions?" Mills asked immediately. It had been a while since they came out! The village chief and his men must be getting impatient!
"Just to understand our situation and see if we are safe." Zhou Zhengping explained simply, "Also, he told me about the current situation of the territory. The territory is developing better and better now. The population now exceeds 10,000, and the buildings in the territory have been completely renovated..."
"That's great." After listening to Zhou Zhengping's description, Mills and the others also looked a little nostalgic.
They consider themselves as part of Hope Village and hope that the village will become better. They are happier than anyone else.
Small naturally noticed the change in Mills' expression, and he felt a little happier in his heart.
"Does the territory have any other instructions?" Mills asked immediately.
"They asked about our ore mining situation and whether everything went well. They also hoped that we could return to the territory as soon as possible." Zhou Zhengping continued, "Before I came back, I sent a message to let them know that I was safe."
"That's good." Mills said, "Let's add some more oil and mine all the ore as soon as possible so we can go back."
"Follow your normal pace and don't work too hard. Your health is the most important." Zhou Zhengping said considerately.
In Zhou Zhengping's opinion, this group of goblins are really fighting hard enough.
Hearing Zhou Zhengping's caring words, Small felt a sense of bitterness in his heart for some reason.
It took a while to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes. "At this pace, there are only two days left. Let's work overtime and try to go back as soon as possible!"
"Okay, just wait and see." Zhou Zhengping was actually quite eager to go home.
After getting Zhou Zhengping's consent, Small immediately went to cheer up his fellow tribesmen.
You should know that some of the goblins who are mining now used to live in Hope Village. The goblins under Smoor also asked about the situation in Hope Village when they worked with them. After knowing that Hope Village is a good place, these goblins are looking forward to it.
Therefore, once they were encouraged, a group of goblins immediately started mining.
Just like that, within two days, the entire limestone mine was mined out.
"Let's go back!" Zhou Zhengping said immediately as he looked at the big guy's fat pockets.
At the command, the entire team quickly packed up and headed back towards Hope Village.
Small followed Mills and the others, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Can Hope Village really allow them to walk freely under the sun?
