Chapter 259 It was like a dream, and I still didn't dare to move
after waking up. The arrival of the oxen, plows and waterwheels allowed Zhao Geng to completely let go and get busy with his spring ploughing work.
As for Zhou Xu, his mantra power has almost recovered during this period, and he plans to take some time to visit the grassland village.
It doesn't take much time to ride a fast horse from Black Moon Village to Grassland Village.
In addition, Zhou Xu's riding skills have become more and more proficient recently. He rode his horse at full speed all the way and successfully arrived at the grassland village before noon.
Upon receiving the news, Ye Jinghong hurried out to greet him.
"Ye Jinghong, meet the leader!"
"No need to be polite."
As Zhou Xu spoke, he jumped off his horse.
"What's going on in Prairie Village recently?"
"Thanks to the chief, everything is fine here in Prairie Village."
"Where's Li Ce?"
"He's taking the soldiers out for training and usually won't be back until after noon."
As the questions were asked and answered, Zhou Xu followed Ye Jinghong into the village.
Indeed, compared to when he left, there has not been much change in the grassland village.
Even the buildings that collapsed during the previous winter have not yet been rebuilt.
Because at this point in time, the construction team has just finished the construction work in Black Moon Village and is now heading to Salt Lake Village. It will be the turn of Grassland Village after they finish the construction work in Salt Lake Village.
In the future, the construction team will probably have to stay in the mountains for a long time to build new villages.
It was only the beginning of the year, and Zhou Xu had already clearly arranged the construction team's work for the entire year.
"Jinghong, don't just focus on training soldiers in Prairie Village. You also need to catch wild buffaloes and horses."
The investment in oxen has once again increased their demand for cattle, not to mention horses.
As of now, Zhou Xu is absolutely not too much.
At worst, we can build a horse-drawn carriage. This is not a waste. A horse-drawn carriage can pull goods much faster than an ox-drawn cart!
They have been using ox carts instead of horses. After all, there are not enough horses. When there are not enough mounts for the soldiers, how can there be extra horses to pull carts? Ye Jinghong naturally wrote down all these instructions.
Zhou Xu said this as he walked around the village.
This is his habit.
After being away for a while, when he came back to the village, unless there was anything extremely urgent, he would take a walk around and inspect the situation in the village.
During this period, at the farm...
I don’t know if it was because he had a premonition that Zhou Xu would come back today, but Qiansui rarely went out for a walk and was now taking a nap in the straw pile.
Not far away, the little white wolf was wagging its tail with excitement, and when the time was right, it pounced at Qiansui with a roar.
Facing the sneak attack from the little white wolf, Qiansui closed his eyes, but seemed to sense something.
With a swipe of its front paw, it slapped the little white wolf like swatting a fly, and it fell onto the straw pile.
Afterwards, the little white wolf wanted to get up, but Qiansui held him down with one hand. The little white wolf was unwilling to admit defeat and struggled desperately.
I don’t know if Qiansui, who was taking a nap, was annoyed by this little guy.
The next second, a big bag hit his face, making the little white wolf's expression become dazed and he began to doubt his life as a wolf.
It was unknown how much time had passed before the little white wolf came to his senses and glanced nervously at Qiansui, who was still dozing off, with his ice-blue eyes.
It showed no sign of waking up the whole time, and didn't even open its eyes. Only its front paws remained motionless on its body, preventing it from moving.
He wanted to struggle, but as if he remembered the little white wolf with the big pussy, he was afraid to act rashly, for fear of being hit by another big pussy.
For a moment, even the expression on the little white wolf's face was filled with a hint of melancholy.
It was like a dream, and I didn’t dare to move even after waking up.
At the same time, Zhou Xu, who was inspecting various places in the village, happened to walk over.
At a glance, he saw Qiansui who was taking a nap, and the little white wolf who was being held down by Qiansui with one hand and looked desperate at the moment.
The expression on the little white wolf's face was so lifelike that it actually made Zhou Xu laugh.
Hearing the noise, Chitose opened his eyes, then stood up and stretched.
During this time, the little white wolf, who had finally seized the opportunity to escape, quickly dived into the straw pile next to him, and then poked his head out, looking at Qiansui furtively, as if to confirm whether Qiansui had discovered him.
In this regard, Qiansui was too lazy to pay attention to this evil creature. He just walked lazily to Zhou Xu's side and rubbed him, as if expressing his longing for him.
“Ah~”
Seeing this, Zhou Xu reached out and touched Qiansui's head. After Qiansui raised his head, he scratched its chin to comfort it.
He then continued his inspection in the village, with Chitose following right behind him.
In fact, since Qiansui grew up, it is no longer as clingy as it was when it was a child. Usually, it will only stick to him for a while when it just wakes up in the morning, and then go out to play by itself.
But this time, probably because he was away longer than any other time before, Qiansui became his follower again, following him wherever he went.
After noon, Li Ce returned to the camp with the soldiers who had just finished their horse riding and archery training. After learning that Zhou Xu had arrived, he hurried over to greet him.
"Li Ce, meet the leader!"
"Li Ce, you're here just in time. I have something to ask you."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu called Li Ce aside.
"You also had the mantra on you back then. Was it difficult for you to learn how to pronounce it?"
"Disaster!"
Faced with this question, Li Ce gave the answer without thinking.
Then, as if he felt that the word "difficult" was not enough to describe his feelings at the time, he quickly added another sentence.
"It was very difficult! Looking back, it took me more than a month to learn how to recite the mantra. I often couldn't unleash the power of the mantra because I couldn't recite it fluently enough."
“…”
If only Shi Lei was like this, then it might be an exception, but now that Li Ce was also like this, Zhou Xu had to start wondering if he would be that exception.
[Speaking of which, there should be some degree of compatibility between this mantra and people, but up to now, I don’t think I have encountered any mantra that doesn’t fit me.]
[Is it because I'm lucky? Or...?]
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu couldn't help but think of his talent, the evolutionary leader!
The first sentence of his talent introduction is "Survival of the fittest!"
[Survival of the fittest. Could it be that my talent as an 'evolutionary leader' has given me a strong ability to adapt? It has made my physique able to adapt to various mantras of different natures without being rejected?]
The update is here, and I would like to thank my book friend '孤寂的鸿' for the reward!
