Chapter 18 Fat Chaser
Chapter 18 Fat Chaser
bump!
The old goblin's wooden staff struck the hardened earth, silencing the goblins gathered at the edge of the field.
Zi Yi, one hand on the plow, shouted, "Don't even think about eating without working!"
He was holding a light plow, which could not turn the soil but could only be used to cut the soil.
However, since there was little need for in-depth cultivation in this era, it was used more frequently.
Best of all, it only requires one animal to pull, so even families with little money can afford it.
Even without livestock, it's not impossible to pull it yourself.
In Li Moss's memory, this was also the main reason why it became the mainstream plow.
Now, 17 goblins, led by the strong goblin, are about to do this.
The strong goblin looked up and met Zi Yi's gaze, his face full of dissatisfaction.
His underlings looked around, clearly unable to say anything about the statement itself.
The five goblins, who were not the strong goblin minions, stepped out from the group. They lowered their heads and walked to the light plow, intending to carry it into the field.
Zi Yi caught the nearest goblin: "Flathead, do a good job. Eat lots of meat tonight."
This goblin has a flat back of its head.
This makes its face look somewhat wide and round.
The flat-headed man, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head, his face beaming with joy: "Yes, thank you, Chief."
The goblins nearby also looked up and said thank you.
The changes came too quickly, but Li Mosi understood the general situation.
He felt that if this had happened to Ziyi, she should have felt even more ashamed.
In contrast, these goblins seem heartless.
That is precisely why Zi Yi was able to get them to switch sides so quickly.
It's all good.
Flathead led four goblins, carrying a light plow into the field. As they passed the group of strong goblins, Flathead gently tugged at one of them.
That goblin didn't have any special features, except that its arms were a little longer than those of a normal goblin.
"Long arms..."
Long-armed Goblin glanced at Flathead, then at Strong Goblin, and finally shook it off.
Without saying much, Flathead pulled the rope in front of him and began to pull the light plow forward.
Of the four goblins behind, one controls the plow, while the other three either hold the plow or follow it.
Plowing is hard work; once you pull the plowshare a dozen meters, you're exhausted.
It moved to the side and held the plow, while another goblin took over pulling the plow.
This attracted the attention of more goblins in the vicinity.
Zi Yi then looked at the henchmen beside the strong goblin: "Work hard and you'll get more meat; if you don't work, you won't get anything to eat."
The underlings couldn't help but turn their heads slightly, looking at each other.
Clearly shaken.
The old goblin spoke up at this moment: "Didn't you hear what the chief said? Go plow the land!"
"Okay, okay."
"The elders have given orders, but there's nothing we can do."
"I don't want to get electrocuted."
The goblins squeaked in dissatisfaction, but moved quite quickly.
It seems they're just missing one step.
The strong goblin's eyes widened instantly, and he turned to look at his minions around him.
Not a single one stayed!
They are divided into two groups.
A group of people rushed towards the team with the flat-headed man, walking quickly at first and even jogging at the end.
Another group, muttering and grumbling, walked up to Ziyi and lifted the remaining light plow.
They turned and met the gaze of the strong goblin, but still squeaked something and continued walking into the field, pretending not to see it.
This condition persisted until plowing began, at which point it returned to normal.
But the underlings still stole glances at the strong goblin every now and then.
On Ziyi's side, the strong goblin, having lost his little brother, was clearly struggling to hold on alone.
It wasn't even as sturdy anymore.
The strong goblin felt his body becoming increasingly stiff.
If you don't work, you won't get to eat.
If it were yesterday, it wouldn't have taken the elder's words seriously.
But now it believes that the elder can really do it!
It has a large appetite to begin with, so if it doesn't eat...
"Ugh."
After staring at each other for a while, the strong goblin finally walked away on its own.
It turned and walked towards the group of its younger brothers.
Zi Yi was somewhat surprised: "Is it giving in?"
Li Moss shook her head: "Because you've become stronger. But don't let your guard down. If you weaken again, it could revert to its former state at any time."
"Master is right, you should listen to him more." The old goblin raised his hand, patted Zi Yi's head a few times, and then turned to look at Li Mosi: "Master, from now on, Zi Yi is in your care."
Li Mosi didn't say much, she just nodded slightly.
Zi Yi glanced at his grandmother, then turned to look at the goblins who were watering the ground with fertilizer.
The most conspicuous one is Fatty Greedy Meat.
It fertilizes like it's playing with water, scooping it up with a wooden bowl and splashing it straight out.
It's not very uniform.
Li Mosi said to Zi Yi, "Now that we have people to plow the land, you can have the people fertilizing follow the people plowing to apply fertilizer. They can then pour the fertilizer water into the furrows that have been plowed."
The furrow is closer to the seeds than the surface of the earth.
Zi Yi understood: "What my teacher said makes sense."
After saying that, he began to give new commands to the goblins in a series of babbling sounds.
The three teams of goblins responsible for fertilizing gathered together. Two of them changed their fertilizing methods and followed the two teams that were plowing the land to fertilize, leaving only one team to continue fertilizing in various places.
The commotion attracted the attention of the plowing team.
But they don't care.
But once the first bowl of fertilizer was poured, they couldn't help but pay attention.
After several rounds of changing, Flathead, who was starting to get weak, suddenly jumped up: "Wow! Greedy Meat, why are you pouring manure here?"
"This is magical mud water!" Greedy Meat corrected Flathead. "According to the leader, watering the trenches with magical mud water brings the seeds closer!"
What is being poured into the ditch?
Isn't this just chasing after them and watering them?
Although these goblins are willing to plow the land, it doesn't mean their mindset has changed.
Especially the strong goblin, it heard humans say it was for making shit!
It couldn't possibly be that the younger brother lied to it!
Snapped--
The one-eyed old man poured out another bowl of fertilizer: "Hurry up and plow! If you plow faster, the fertilizer won't reach you!"
Upon hearing this, the goblin pulling the plow quickened his pace.
Seeing the goblins doing their jobs as instructed, Li Moss had nothing to do.
He pulled the saintess down from the north slope.
The saintess's small hands were a little dirty, with a few specks of dirt on them, but Li Mosi ignored them for the time being.
Because he discovered that [Leshanshui] had found new whereabouts.
[Small wild animal footprints discovered (New)!]
[Large Wild Animal Footprints Found (New)!]
[Large Wild Animal Path Discovered (New)!]
Although we don't know exactly what the new large beast is, as long as there's enough to eat, that's fine.
As for small wild animals, he simply ignored them.
The wild boars have been staying down the mountain lately, and the cost of fuel for even a single trip with small wild animals isn't enough.
Now, Leshan Water has also provided more terrain information.
For example, this mountain is connected to another mountain to its southeast and northwest.
Li Mosi carefully examined every part of the map before leading the saintess slowly back to the edge of the cave.
He was so engrossed in watching that by the time he returned, the sun was already setting, and the goblins had exhausted all their strength.
At this moment, both teams of plowers stopped in place, motionless.
A bunch of goblins were lying on the edge of the field.
Ziyi, holding the bowl alone, shouted, "Hurry up! It's almost done!"
Li Moss asked, "What's wrong?"
Zi Yi shook his head: "We were almost done plowing this area, but everyone was too exhausted."
Li Mosi looked towards the farmland.
It's said to be almost there, but in reality, only about a quarter of the land in front of us is left.
It is impossible for the chief and elders to plow the land themselves.
Li Mosi looked at the saintess.
"Hmm?"
