My farm does not raise idle dragons

Marco and others just settled outside Lingnan Farm.

Lu Xi didn't know about this at all, although she didn't think Marco and the others would leave so happily. After all, the goal they wanted to accomplish has not been completed yet. It was impossible that just because she said a few words after seeing her, Simply gave up.

But she didn't expect that Marco and the others would stay not far from her Lingnan Farm and directly guard the gate.

Fortunately, Lu Xi felt that they would not give up so easily, so he did not forget to let Zhuo Zhuo disguise himself through the phantom badge. Anyway, the process was not troublesome, but she was not used to it.

In addition, Lu Xi also lets Zhuo Zhuo fly in the sky for a period of time every day, which is almost like taking a walk after a meal. He also checks whether there is anything different around the farm, and is still on guard against Marco and the others.

However, since Marco and the others chose to be stationed not far from Lingxin Farm, they would certainly not ignore such an important issue. They had already arranged elemental arrays for concealment when they were stationed, and even the team went out to look for various monsters. People who leave traces also carry elemental weapons that can hide traces.

Otherwise, with only a few miles away, Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo would have sensed any elemental fluctuations caused by Marco and the others.

Monsters are more sensitive to the power of elements than humans. In essence, monsters are symbiotic with the elements, but humans can only perceive elements through elemental contracts. With such a layer separated, the perception ability is relatively weaker. .

After Marco stayed around the Lingbo Farm, he did not just sit around and eat hard food every day. Instead, he surveyed the surroundings of the Lingbo Farm, including Xinwa Village, without alerting the Lingbo Farm. The location and the people who live in it.

Cross's slave backup was still with Marco, so Marco could easily determine the identity of this group of people. Their busy construction work in the village was completely consistent with the news that they had just defected here.

The only thing that was different from what Marco thought was probably their generous life in Xinwa Village.

They were slaves in name, and actually considered themselves slaves, but the way Lu Xi treated them was not like slaves, which made them seem like they were not slaves.

"Tsk, they really don't look like a group of slaves." Standing at a high point, Marco looked down at Xinwa Village, which was under construction below.

Considering the shortage of manpower and lack of time, Lu Xi did not arrange a house for each of them when designing the building. That was unrealistic.

The current plan is to build three relatively large houses, the kind that can accommodate more than a dozen people in one room. There will be no beds in the houses, but earthen Kangs.

Fortunately, the principle of the earthen kang is very simple. Lu Xi had seen the process of building an earthen kang several times when he was young. After briefly explaining it, Yegli understood what she meant and gave her the drawings for building a house according to her ideas.

Therefore, there is no problem saying that these houses were designed by Lu Xi, and Yegri can only be regarded as a "drawer."

More than ten days have passed, and the first house has been built in general shape. In a few days, it can be considered to be lived in.

After all, it is the first time to build this house, so the speed will definitely be slower. When this house is completed, the construction of the next two houses will save at least half the time.

Considering practical problems, each house is designed very simply. There are only two rooms in the house, one large room and one small room, which look like a "!"

The big room is where people sleep. There is only a large kang that is more than half a meter high, two meters wide and more than ten meters long, and a two-meter-wide floor that goes straight back and forth. In winter, everyone sleeps on the same kang, which is very warm. .

If you want personal space, you can also use wooden boards to isolate small spaces on the kang. Although it is not soundproof, it will make you feel much more comfortable.

The small room is a combination of a kitchen and a dining room. In addition, there are two doors at the front and back, making it convenient for so many people to come and go. On one side is the large iron pot stove in the countryside that Lu Xi remembers, and on the other side can accommodate more than a dozen people to eat together. Large table top.

The stove and the kang in the big house are connected together, so that when you cook every day, you can also heat the kang. However, this kang is too big and one burning point cannot heat the kang at the same time, so there are several on the other side. There was such a large open space in the fire place. On the one hand, it allowed them to arrange some furniture and store items. On the other hand, it also left enough space for placing firewood.

It would be troublesome to go out frequently to find firewood to make a fire in winter. Being able to store a lot of firewood in the house at once will save you from having to go out frequently to freeze in cold weather.

The toilet is set outside, the ventilation in the room is not very good, and there is no time to design it well, so they can only rely on themselves.

Lu Xi's idea was that these men, who could barely be considered young adults, lived in one house, women with children lived in one house, and women without children and unmarried girls lived alone in one house.

This idea has been approved by everyone. Although there is nothing you can do if you don't agree, but more importantly, there is no complete family here, so no one has any opinions on the need to live separately.

Among the three houses, one is designed to be much larger than the other two houses, especially the location of the kitchen, which can accommodate everyone in Xinwa Village currently dining here.

It was also Lu Xi's idea. She felt that she would definitely find something for this group of people to do in the winter, so a relatively large space that could gather these people was necessary, otherwise they would be crowded together. , or listening to her talk outside, which is weird.

In addition, she also considered one thing, that is, cooking together is definitely more convenient than cooking alone. With such a dining space, the people of Xinwa Village would definitely prefer to eat with everyone every day.

They have lost too many relatives, and each of the remaining people needs to be cherished.

Marco couldn't see these thoughts of Lu Xi, but he could still see Miss Lucy's "kindness" from the construction pattern of the house.

Oh, whose slave can live in such a spacious place.

In Lu Xi's eyes, it is already a very compact residence. She even deliberately widened the space on the ground in order to reduce the "suffocating feeling" of the small space, but in the eyes of others, it is quite spacious.

Marco was a person from the bottom of society. He had seen the slaves of Mayor Sienqi's house. More than a dozen of them lived in a small room. Their clothes had not been washed for an unknown period of time, and their bodies were full of stains from being whipped. The various scars that came out were so dirty that you could smell a mixed smell from a distance.

Look at these slaves again. The clean and new clothes are hanging in the yard, blowing in the wind. Although everyone is working, they are covered in dust and look very dirty.

But it is just a layer of floating soil, and as long as it is washed, the cleanliness underneath will be revealed.

When they were eating, they actually washed their hands one by one before picking up the food.

And those women were still wearing such bright and beautiful silk scarves on their heads - Marco felt that each of those silk scarves was worth at least 1 silver coin.

But they were just tied to the heads of a group of female slaves.

"As expected of the kind-hearted Miss Lucy." Marco sighed. His voice did not mean to praise, but more like a mockery. Although he could no longer despise a few silver coins, he saw a group of slaves using such expensive things. , he really felt disgusted and angry from the bottom of his heart.

They are just a group of slaves, why can they use such a good thing? !
Of course, in fact, it is more because the hair of these female slaves has been shaved, which makes their not very beautiful appearance even more unsightly.

If it were a group of young and beautiful female slaves wearing such expensive silk scarves, maybe Marco wouldn't be so angry.But one look at a group of bald female slaves made Marco feel that his sight was polluted.

As for Cross's group of male slaves, Marco looked down upon them. As an elemental warrior, the pursuit of a strong body was an instinct. However, Marco didn't even bother to look at those crooked men.

Even Tie Ya, who Lu Xi thought was a good young man, was like this. After all, Tie Ya had never eaten good food many times since he was a child. Although he was quite strong and in good health, from Marco's point of view, he was a bit Too thin.

More than ten years of malnutrition cannot be replenished by just eating and drinking for more than ten days.

What's more, Lu Xi didn't give them much food to replenish their body's nutrition. First, they had been malnourished for too long, so they couldn't just replenish their nutrition. That would be harmful to their bodies. They had to feed them whole grains for a while, until their bodies had enough strength. , to supplement nutrition.

So in terms of food, Lu Xi only provided some wild rice and cooked porridge for them every day. The side dishes were all wild vegetables and other things they picked themselves. This is why Lu Xi said that eating more vegetables is good for the body.

Second, the food was provided so well that these people should be scared. They still had a good idea of ​​who they were. In order to make them feel at ease, Lu Xi should not be too nice to them.

Although Marco has never seen food like wild rice, looking at the behavior of these slaves after eating it, he can know that this must be a very valuable food, and it is a unique food produced by Lingyi Farm. Items that had not been found on other farms before.

Without the slaves noticing, Marco stole a bowl of wild rice porridge and returned with a handful of wild rice that had not been cooked into food.

He is an intermediate elemental warrior. It is very easy to do this kind of thing without being discovered. After all, Cross and the others are just a group of ordinary people... oh no, ordinary slaves.

The taste of wild rice porridge is very good. Even if it is made by the group of slaves without adding any ingredients, Marco, who is used to eating all kinds of good things, can accept the taste of this food and even thinks it is pretty good.

As for the handful of wild rice he secretly grabbed, Marco looked at the slaves and added water to boil it, and soon a large pot was cooked.

The smell of wild rice and its practical effects immediately conquered Marco, and at the same time he thought of various uses for this food.

If he could take this kind of food into his own hands and package it with these unique characteristics, he might be able to sell it at a very expensive price, Marco thought in his heart.

If he could take charge of this matter with Mayor Sienqi, he would definitely gain a lot of benefits.

And this is also a method often used by nobles. The nobles will not do things that can be spread to more civilians in large quantities and filled with food, so that those civilians can be fed.

They will only collect this kind of stuff, and then package it into an expensive product, prohibiting others from growing it, and at the same time bulging their own wallets.

As for the life and death of those civilians, what does it have to do with them?
Marco didn't know whether Miss Lucy didn't know the value of this newly emerged wild rice, or whether she knew it and still didn't care, spreading her unnecessary kindness to these slaves.

But it doesn't matter anymore, because soon Miss Lucy won't need to think about these problems.

"Of course, if she wants, she can still let these slaves continue to eat this kind of food." Marco looked down at the pot of wild rice porridge in front of him and smiled scornfully.

It's just this group of slaves. Once he gets the authority to take charge of this matter from Mayor Sienqi, he will definitely not let Wild Rice appear in other places again.

What a lucky group of slaves. Marco looked up in the direction of Xinwa Village, but he had no thoughts about this group of slaves.

Because his status is high enough, these slaves are not worthy of appearing in his eyes. If he wants, these slaves can disappear at any time.

Or they'll disappear immediately.

"Roar!" In the distance, a monster roared, approaching Lingnan Farm.

They were some scattered monsters, arranged in groups of three to five. Although they didn't seem to be of the same race, they got along very well with each other, and there was no internal strife or anything like that.

Most of them have a large size of more than one meter or two meters, but there are not many low-level monsters, they are all ordinary monsters.

Usually low-level monsters don't stay together. They are mostly lone rangers, or a low-level monster with ordinary monsters of the same race. This is determined by their instincts.

In three days, Marco had used his team to drive more than 100 monsters from other places.

Let these monsters attack Lingnan Farm?No, no, no, Marco is not that naive yet. Every farm has a very strong defensive elemental array. Even a complete wave of monsters cannot cause any harm to a farm.

However, those farmlands are not included in the farm defense element array.

And the harvest time has come.

How do the ordinary people on the farm harvest the mature grains in the farmland when surrounded by a group of monsters?
Either, huddle in the farm surrounded by monsters, waiting for the food in the fields outside to mature and rot, wasting the results of the year, or pay a small "price" and invite their patrol team to help. Drive away monsters to complete the harvest smoothly.

How to choose is already very simple, isn't it? Marco looked at Lingxin Farm and smiled slightly.

Now, it's your choice, Miss Lucy.

Let me reiterate, I am a long-winded writer.

When writing something, I can't help but divulge into all kinds of details, which leads me to often write a lot of content in a verbose manner.

In addition, the setting of my book is daily writing, so I don’t think it will be very interesting, and I’m not very good at writing interesting things.

Also, the last book proved that I am not good at character creation, so it is normal for this book to have problems with the characters.

All I can say is that I'm trying to make progress.

Sometimes when you see unreasonable content, I hope everyone can think carefully about whether it is because the author cannot write something more reasonable.

My abilities are limited, so please lower your requirements a little bit (hint)
