Chapter 225 Climbing a tree
The soldiers who were responsible for supervising the work of the slaves were immediately excited when they heard about their rewards. The new recruits rushed to Lin Huo to choose their favorite surname.
The slaves looked at the excited men with resentment. The people who were pressing on their heads were not happy, and the hatred in their hearts would increase.
Soon the recruits chose their surnames and asked each other what the other person had chosen. When they encountered the same form, they would brag about each other and praise each other's vision.
Although the veterans have not yet been given the reward, since the leader has already said it, there is no possibility of taking it back. When the veterans think that he soon has a short sword or dagger that is commonly known as himself, the veterans are extremely excited.
On this day, a relaxed atmosphere filled the camp, and the soldiers even generously added two more bowls of rice to the slave's food.
The next day, Linhuo sent six people to three directions and notified the news to several other camps.
East, copper ore.
Three days ago, Kong Yi, who had been trekking, finally escorted the slaves here. Nearly ten slaves died along the way, and those who could survive here were all relatively good physical fitness.
Kong Yi followed Wang Lang's instructions and set up the mining camp in the baobab forest.
The reason I chose this place is precisely because this large area of baobab forest not only provides a rich source of water, but also the thick tree trunk can be used as a house as a digging hole, which greatly reduces the difficulty of building a camp.
In three days, Kong Yi directed the slaves to dig twenty tree hole houses. Of course, these tree hole houses were not without slaves. After building the houses of Kong Yi and other noble people.
The miserable slaves had to dig out the cages that held them themselves.
More than forty slaves waving shovels and copper picks, digging deep pits hard.
Now, this deep pit has been dug nearly one meter deep, with an area of about 30 square meters.
More than 40 slaves will be imprisoned in such a small space in the future. It is conceivable how crowded it will be. After squatting down, people are next to each other, like a large canned sardine.
"Master, are we going to live here for a long time?" a team asked.
"I should stay here for a long time. According to the leader's wishes, a village will be built here in the future, and I may be responsible for it, so you must make it well, not only for me, but also for the comfort of your life." Kong Yi leaned under a baobab tree and shook his head to the team.
"This place is too remote and there is nothing to do. We can't even eat fish except for some meat and corn. It would be great if there was a river." Another team was sighing and said.
"Oh, isn't it? The weather is so hot. If it were in the tribe, it would be so comfortable to jump into the river." Thinking of the tribe's river, the team looked comfortable.
"Don't complain. The leader attaches great importance to this matter. Never make mistakes. If you do well, the leader is satisfied with my performance, and I will be satisfied with you." Kong Yi said slowly.
"President, this group of useless slaves, who work so slowly and have been playing tricks for so long, have dug up so much. I'll teach them some lessons."
"Forget it, there are not many slaves assigned to us. If we die, we have to do these jobs." Kong Yixiao.
"It's better to always think carefully."
The two teams were complimenting.
"I have been here for so long and haven't even seen a bigger beast. I have caught some funny dragons in so many days. It's good to have a few beasts to improve our food!" the team was complaining.
"Some of them are good to eat. If you want to eat, there is something on it. If you have the ability to pick them off, I will remember you for your merits." Kong Yi shook his head and said.
The team was looking up at the baobab fruit that was strangely eccentric on the treetops, and sighed and said, "Old Master, the trunk of this tree is bare and can't climb up at all!"
"I'm afraid I can't go up, so I stay honestly. That's so much nonsense and it's better to have a sleep in such hot weather." Kong Yi said with his eyes narrowed.
At this time, another team member looked at the trunk, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and said to Kong Yi: "Master, I have a note that I can pick these fruits."
Kong Yi opened his eyes and looked at the team and said, "Oh! What's the solution?"
The team was saying, "If we make a strong rope, tie the two ends together and put them on the trunk, we will move it little by little to the treetops."
"It's interesting. I'm just idle and have nothing to do. Leave this matter to you. If you do it, it will be yours." Kong Yi said.
"Hehe, please take a look, you will definitely pick the fruit for you."
As the team finished speaking, they hurriedly ran aside and called a few soldiers to collect weeds and woven straw ropes.
More than an hour later, a thick rope was made.
The team was running over with a rope and said, "Master, the rope is ready, I'll try it now."
Kong nodded and said, "Okay, then try this tree!"
The team was putting the rope on the trunk, taking a deep breath, lifting one foot and stepping on the trunk.
"Be careful, if it doesn't work, don't try it. It's not a joke to fall down at such a high." Kong Yi warned.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine!"
After saying that, he stepped on his other foot.
Seeing that it was sliding down from the tree again, the team was immediately confident and moved the rope slowly upwards.
Although the speed is not fast, everyone was looking forward to seeing this method that they could really climb trees.
After climbing carefully for more than ten minutes, I finally climbed onto the canopy.
The team was flexibly grasping the branches, turning over and riding on the trunk. At this time, due to fatigue and tension, they were already sweating profusely.
After a while of rest, he waved to the ground and shouted, "President, please continue to click on the ground. I will pick the fruits now."
"I understand, be careful!" Kong Yi said with his head raised.
The team nodded, stood up carefully on the branches, and picked all the fruits.
Watching the strings of fruits falling to the ground, Kong quickly asked someone to collect them and pile them aside.
Seeing that they could get all the things clean, the team was carefully climbing down from the tree.
Seeing him coming down safely, Kong Yi excitedly patted his shoulder and said, "Shi Hu, good, you have made contributions this time."
