Chapter 162162. Harvest (Part 2)
"Drive away the wolves!" Lodel waved her hand.
The guards shouted and charged towards the woods, while Zoe and Anke respectively targeted large targets.
The wolf king was hit in the eye by an arrow and fell to the ground with a scream. The giant bear turned around and ran away, but unfortunately he still couldn't escape the killing that followed.
An Ke stabbed the blade gracefully, and the khaki flame pierced through the heart of the giant bear. Perhaps the orcs would show mercy to the beasts of the same blood, but they would never be soft on some of their relatives.
Nature doesn't tolerate much mercy.
The wolf pack left behind a few carcasses and scattered. Now it was time to deal with the spoils. There were too many carcasses, more than ten tons in total. Fulin Fort would consume most of them, and the rest would flow into the Donggang City market for consumption.
While the guards were dealing with the wild animals, the farmers who owned the field rushed to harvest the wheat.
A large pool of blood on the ground can easily attract nearby predators with a keen sense of smell.
Lodel decided to help them and took the lead in helping to harvest the crops. Some idle guards came to help, and the fields were gradually cleared and the wheat was loaded onto carts.
"Thank you very much, Commander Soldier." The farmer said gratefully.
"Be careful in this area at night," warned Lodel.
A guard came over to report, "Sir, the lord is here with his men."
"What is he doing here?" Lodel frowned.
In the distant fields, a group of people were approaching quickly.
The randomly scattered formation seemed like a picnic, the atmosphere was joyful, and laughter could be heard from far away.
Luodel flashed a few times and appeared in front of Lowe. He glanced around him without much emotion on his face.
"Dale, aren't you going to continue patrolling?" Lovey asked casually.
"You'd better be careful and stick to the fixed route. Don't wander around. A dragon beast just appeared here." Lordel informed.
"It's okay! I'm not afraid even if a real dragon comes." Lovi leaned over and looked at the body of the Dinobot curiously.
It’s really big, weighing more than five tons, bigger than an elephant!
Its back is covered with fish-like scales, its sharp claws are perfect for digging the ground, and its long crocodile-like mouth has extraordinary bite force.
Large dragon beasts are basically third-level creatures, and the Mosasaurus is no exception.
If the three levels are divided into upper, middle and lower levels, the Dinosaurus can be classified as a middle or upper position, and is an omnivorous dragon species.
“The scales on this earth dragon can be used to make several sets of nice armor!” Aka whispered.
"Yes, but it's more troublesome to handle." Lodel folded his hands and watched the busy logistics staff.
It may take several hours to process, and some of them will have to stay here.
"Let's continue." Lowe said hello and left with his hands behind his back.
Walking and walking, quietly admiring the bright starry sky and nebulae, and enjoying the gentleness of the night breeze.
Before I knew it, the torch had burned out, leaving only the light of the kerosene lamp.
The moon quietly ran above people's heads.
"Let's take a break." Lovi picked a stone and took the cup of water handed to him by Lanlan.
Everyone found their own place to rest, but finally they all crowded together.
If it were any other lord, he would be furious, and a petty lord might even beat a few people to death, but this is a free territory.
After Lowe took office, there was never any precedent of punishing any retainers.
He only ever rewarded the maid with a slap.
In the eyes of everyone, this is not a punishment at all, but a humiliation of personality.
Take a short break and start again.
Along the way, no beast within the range of the mental power could escape.
Most of them are wild boars.
They travel in groups, bringing their families with them. They are a terrifying species whose reproductive capacity is second only to rats.
Due to their large size and appetite, wild boars are particularly harmful to farmland. Some wild boars also like to attack humans, and are hostile to passers-by and will actively attack them.
There were so many of them that people couldn't handle them at night.
As a result, the outermost farmlands were severely damaged.
Lovey pointed out the direction and ordered the soldiers to drive away the wild boars, and Georgia rushed forward first.
The heavy weapon in his hand is the nemesis of wild boars, and he can kill several of them easily.
"Master, what should we do with this meat?"
"You're going to carry it back?"
"ah!?"
Georgia scratched the back of his head in bewilderment. There was not even a cart, and it would be too tiring to carry it back.
Finally, they found farmers with fields nearby and gave the meat to them for free.
Wild boar meat is not a top-quality food and has a strong fishy smell.
It is only in recent times that a set of processing methods, which involves bleeding, soaking in water, and adding wild vegetables to suppress the taste, has gradually been accepted by people and has become a staple meat.
Soon, the farmers had no time to harvest, and more than a dozen people came to start dealing with the wild boars.
Everyone discussed how to eat wild boar meat and chop it into meat filling to make dumplings, and most people agreed unanimously.
As the moon climbed overhead, it began to fall.
Everyone finally arrived at the beach, patrolled a large circle around the territory, and finally walked into the city at night.
Dongguan City is much busier tonight than during the day.
The road was full of carts, people carrying kerosene lamps and torches, and transporting grain into granaries.
There were shouts from the street: "The old granary is full, go to the new granary"
"Oh!" "Okay!" "It's full so soon?" The responses came one after another.
People had expected a good harvest this year, and had long since built a house on Fulin Road as a new granary.
If that is still not enough, nearby residents can be temporarily recruited.
Consul Bruno had already discussed this with others in advance, and the residents were happy to support it.
In fact, after wheat matures, it needs to be dried before it can be stored. Otherwise, it may become moldy or sprout, reducing the storage period.
It's just that the weather has been sunny this year, so the harvested wheat is very dry. So it doesn't matter if you dry it later, it's more important to harvest it first.
The trouble is the rats.
The flooding in the old city area posed a huge threat to the bumper grain harvest.
There were always people guarding the entrance of the granary, and a group of cats were kept, but they were unable to prevent the invasion of rats, which was particularly abominable.
At this time, pottery plays an important role.
Generally, it is difficult to protect food containers from being gnawed by rats. No matter whether they are made of wood or stone, they cannot escape the fate of being damaged by rats.
Only the pottery was beyond the reach of the mice.
The smooth surface of the ceramic jar makes it impossible for mice to eat or climb up.
As a result, the large pottery jars became a very popular commodity in the territory. Every household bought at least a few to store water and food.
Fulinbao even placed a large order of 10,000 pieces at one time for grain storage in granaries.
As long as you put a ceramic lid on the ceramic jar, the mice will be helpless.
Lovey had a good idea, but he greatly underestimated the rats in this world.
With such a huge population base, special rats with certain intelligence and spellcasting abilities naturally emerged.
The clay jar can stop ordinary mice, but it cannot stop monsters.
