My farm does not raise idle dragons

Chapter 86 Foreshadowing Chapter

Considering the special status of the carpenter Kent as a farm resident, Lu Xi did not let the little girl Niluo stay on the farm.

Instead, he asked Cross to arrange for someone to send the little girl Nile to the home of carpenter Kent every morning and pick her back up in the evening.

The distance between the left and right is only a few miles, and it doesn't take long to go back and forth.

Cross had no objection, and was even ecstatic about it. The treatment of the little girl Nile not only exceeded his imagination, but also gave him a false hope.

He could tell that Miss Lucy was willing to do these extra things for the little girl Nile because of her "smartness".

In other words, as long as you have enough value, you will be treated differently by Miss Lucy and be nurtured beyond your status.

Even if he is still a slave, with the ability to do things, he has more opportunities to control his destiny than other slaves, and it is not impossible to even escape from slavery.

Although slave redemption was an unspoken joke among nobles most of the time, Cross felt that if it was Miss Lucy, they might not be unable to redeem themselves.

No one wants to be a slave for the rest of their life, even if they are ready to be a slave for the rest of their lives.

The heavy rain continued intermittently for three more days, and it was not until the last day of the "Daily Challenges for New Farmers" mission that the sun finally came out.

"It's probably going to stop raining next." Looking at the cloudless sky, Lu Xi didn't know how the clouds that had rained for so many days dispersed overnight.

When the heavy rain stopped, there was a feeling of new life.

Everyone in Xinwa Village feels this most clearly.

After spending the first two days and making sure that the wooden shed was strong enough and would not collapse in the heavy rain, Xiao Yuan stopped paying so much attention to them.

I only occasionally come back with the little girl Niluo to take a look at the living conditions of this group of people.

The relationship between Xiao Yuan and the little girl Ni Luo should be the best, because Ni Luo is different from other children. Although she likes Xiao Yuan very much, she is not as "enthusiastic" as other children.

Sometimes excessive enthusiasm can cause inconvenience.

After hearing about the little girl Niluo from Lu Xi, Xiao Yuan actually felt a little more "pity" and care for her. After all, different people will always receive special treatment, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Xi no longer comes to Xinwa Village in person, but Cross comes once a day, and he is currently doing the task of sending the little girl Niluo here in the morning.

Therefore, Lu Xi had heard most of what happened in Xinwa Village mentioned by Cross. It was not that Lu Xi was just idle and paying attention to these things, but that the "side mission resettlement" suddenly prompted completion and refreshed the follow-up mission.

[System notification: Congratulations to the player for completing the "Side Task·Placement" and receiving the task reward "300 experience points, the power management function of Lingbo Farm is turned on". The subsequent side task has been triggered. 】

[Side mission: Construction of Xinwa Village [-]: Although a temporary shelter has been prepared for these displaced people, the walls made of cotton cloth are so fragile, and the pillars made of trees are always blown by the wind. Shake, please prepare some sturdy houses for these poor people. 】

[Task reward: 1500 experience points, 100 reputation points in Tanersi collar. After completion, subsequent side tasks will be opened. 】

The power management function of Lingyi Farm does not have much content. It simply lists the information of these people in Xinwa Village and the permissions that Lu Xi can set for them.

For example, whether it is allowed to enter the area of ​​​​Lingxu Farm. If it is set to not allowed to enter, then when they approach a certain range of Lingxu Farm, the residents of the farm will come out and warn them to leave.

Another example is whether the functions of restaurants, the Holy See and other places are open to them. If it is set to open, then these residents of Xinwa Village can spend money to eat in restaurants or go to the Holy See to pray to God.

Lu Xi thought for a moment and only opened the authority of the Holy See to these villagers in Xinwa Village, because there was no hospital or doctor in Lingbo Farm, and ordinary humans like them would get sick.

The only thing that can help them is the fountain in the courtyard of the Holy See, because the water in that fountain is called "holy water", which has been blessed by God and can remove illnesses.

And in such a world where "gods" truly exist, even if the Holy See is found to have any violations, they probably don't dare to think too much about it and just think it is the influence of "gods".

Lu Xi didn't think they would do anything bad, and he wasn't afraid of it, but his Lingnan Farm was somewhat unusual. After these special places were discovered, it would easily lead to unnecessary speculation.

When the time comes, they will scare themselves, and it will be bad if something happens if they are scared again.

The sudden increase in experience points rewarded by the side mission made Lu Xi look sideways, but when he thought about the time it took to complete this side mission, he felt that... the game system was really stingy.

Tan Erxi's 100 reputation value made Lu Xi think more. The mission reward she saw on the "Side Mission·Beautiful Music" was "racial reputation value".

So, are there actually many types of reputation points?Tanersi Territory can only be regarded as a "province" among countries in another world at best, so there should actually be "national reputation" and "elemental continent reputation" beyond that.

I just don’t know what level the “racial reputation value” is, or is there another calculation method?Yes, it seems that there are several races in this world besides humans.

Lu Xi touched her head. She had never met other races, and she never had any true feelings for them.

Although Zhuo Zhuo is a dragon, it is more like a "monster". In Lu Xi's eyes, it has always existed with Xiao Yuan, although in a different world, dragons should be a separate race.

However, she seemed to have read in a book that some humans considered dragons among monsters and did not recognize the dragon race.

It's actually quite funny, because obviously among humans and dragons, humans are at a disadvantage, but there are always some people who are not very clear-headed and look down on other races from various commanding heights.

It's probably because dragons don't know how to read human books at all. If they knew that what they wrote would be seen by dragons, those people would not dare to write such arrogant content.

But it’s not necessarily true. After all, some people can’t pretend to be stupid, and that’s probably what they think in their hearts.

Thanks to the heavy rain, one of the indoor challenges that was refreshed was for Lu Xi to go to the library to read books for three hours.

There is no requirement for Lu Xi to read any books or how many books, as long as the reading time is enough, so Lu Xi has read a lot of books seriously in the past two days.

Quite interesting.

Living without the earth's network, Lu Xi began to indulge in the simplest entertainment activity of reading.

Those gossip books are really interesting if you can understand them.Lu Xi also went to the library to read and found out that the number of books there was so rich, covering basically every country, and not only the content related to the Holy See, but also gossip novels.

Although the current gossip novels are still relatively "restrained", this restraint does not mean in terms of content. In fact, if you look at ancient books, you will find that the imagination of the ancients is no weaker than that of modern people.

The restraint Lu Xi talks about is implicit in language.

Probably because most people who know Chinese characters have some status, people who write books usually don’t use vernacular that can be understood at a glance. Instead, they use various metaphors and allusions. Without sufficient understanding, they are basically incomprehensible. Too understanding.

Lu Xi didn't have much understanding of the culture of other worlds, but her experience on Earth was rich enough. Even if she didn't know what examples were used, she could guess the meaning based on the descriptions.

After reading more books, you will find that the examples and metaphors in these books can be connected in series, and the content that was originally half-understood gradually becomes clear. The joy of reading is indescribable.

After Lu Xi discovered the joy of reading, he borrowed a few books from the library to use as bedtime stories. He read the books every night and taught Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo how to read.

When Lu Xi finished breakfast and walked out of the yard, he saw Cross already standing respectfully at the door of the yard. Without Lu Xi's permission, he did not dare to take a step forward.

Lu Xi was not polite to Cross, and did not even hide that she had to do challenging tasks every day. Although she could pretend to be a normal noble lady, Lu Xi felt that she would have to ask Cross to help her with things in the future. Xiaoyuan and After all, Zhuo Zhuo's identity is too restrictive.

As for Cross, as the name that appears on Lu Xi's game panel, Lu Xi feels that he can use it. Since they have "accepted" the benefits of the game system, they will inevitably be checked and balanced by the game system.

In this case, it would be too troublesome to always hide it. It is better to let him see it and get used to it, so that there won't be too many problems when doing things for Lu Xi in the future.

Of course, Cross would not know that Lu Xi was doing a challenge mission. All he could see was that Lu Xi, an aristocratic lady, was growing vegetables and working like an ordinary person on her family farm every day.

...No, actually Cross didn't think that. It was just what Lu Xi thought Cross had thought.

Because there are no ordinary people doing the work, it is done using various elemental magic weapons.

Yes, in Cross's eyes, those unusual places are the effects of various elemental magic weapons.

For an aristocratic lady who uses various elemental instruments to do farm work every day, and only does it for a while before doing other things, Cross can't think of any other reason besides "experience life".

Thinking of Lu Xi's friendly attitude towards slaves like them, Cross couldn't help but think that perhaps it was because of experiencing this kind of working life that Miss Lucy had such a kind heart.

How can we understand the difficulty of life without experiencing the pain of labor?

Although Miss Lucy's work seemed not painful or tiring at all, Cross would not think so rudely.

A noble lady is willing to experience the work of common people, so how can she be overly required to do such real work? !

"This morning, Tie Ya has already taken people to get the mud, and Tie Mu has also taken some people to collect the broadleaf grass that Mr. Yegli mentioned." Cross told them all about their arrangements.

After waiting for so many days, the weather finally cleared, and no one could wait any longer.

After several days, the women had almost finished making quilts and new clothes, and the stronger ones followed to do the work.

The weaker ones stayed in the wooden shed and did the cleaning work.

It was obvious that Lu Xi attached great importance to hygiene, and Cross didn't dare to ignore it. Taking advantage of the sunny weather, he quickly cleaned up the wooden shed inside and out.

However, Cross still hesitated and asked Lu Xi, "Miss Lucy, do you really want to... shave all your hair?"

These men are all okay, and the older women can also agree, but there are some newly married people and two unmarried girls, and it would be too much to shave their heads...

Lu Xi could see what Cross meant. Fortunately, in this different world, they didn't have the idea that "the body, hair, and skin are affected by the parents", so they had no objection to shaving their hair.

"Shaving your hair is a must." Lu Xi thought for a moment and explained it in easy-to-understand terms.

"I don't know what the environment you lived in before, but after you have been in the wild for such a long time, you will definitely be contaminated with bugs and other things. You don't need to explain that you have checked and didn't see bugs, because some bugs are What you can’t see with your eyes.”

"Hair is an easy place to hide bugs. No matter how many times you wash it or how clean it is, it is actually impossible to completely wash away the bugs. They will still hide in those places, so shaving your hair is actually the easiest thing to do."

Cross was startled and subconsciously reached out to touch his hair. Then he quickly took a few steps back, a little further away from Lu Xi. He looked flustered and nervous and didn't know what to say.

Lu Xi waved his hand, "You don't have to be so nervous, you can't pass it on to me."

Not to mention refreshing things every day, she takes a shower every night, and there are shower gels and shampoos produced by the system that can be used, so there is no need to worry about these at all.

As for why Lu Xi didn't use these for the villagers in Xinwa Village... what they needed was a thorough insecticide and disinfection, not a simple cleaning.

Furthermore, Lu Xi was not in a hurry because of too much money. The price of shampoo and body wash produced by the system was not something that could be purchased with dozens or hundreds of copper coins.

No matter how Lu Xi comforted him, Cross stayed ten steps away from Lu Xi and did not dare to get closer, so that Lu Xi had to speak in a louder voice.

Lu Xi was helpless, but understood Cross's thoughts. He just said one more thing before Cross left, "There are actually these invisible bugs in the water. If you want to drink water, try to drink boiled water." Fire will kill the bugs."

When it comes to boiling water, Lu Xi suddenly thinks of the kettle in the house. This thing is useless to her. Even if she drinks a lot of water a day, she will not use a ton of hot water.

But Cross and the others should be able to use it. They have to take a shower after shaving their heads. Hot water is definitely the best. They are afraid that they won't be able to get so much firewood for the fire, so they finally use cold water from the river to wash.

Judging from their physiques, half of them would probably catch a cold and get sick after taking a bath, and there were no cold medicines in this other world.

Props should be used in the right place.
