Succubus' Manor

The sun was scorching hot, and an ice basin was placed in Chi Yan's house. All the saltpeter excavated had been processed. When needed, put it in the water to produce cold ice. After freezing, there will be ice cubes that can be eaten, topped with syrup and wild fruits, and the wild version of smoothie is ready.

The ice basin doesn't work as well as the air conditioner, but it's better than nothing.

Andrew left a long time ago, and before leaving, he told Chi Yan with snot and tears that he would definitely find a way to come back next year.

The house is almost built, and you can live in it after drying. After you live in, the previous house will be pushed away.

Now there is enough land for land reclamation in the territory, and Chi Yan also gave people ten days off, everyone, no matter civilians or slaves.

As for ice, people want to be able to exchange it with grain, whether it is katuo or wheat. Wheat can be exchanged more, but katuo is less.

However, except for the dwarves who can change, other people are still reluctant to exchange food for ice. Hanging shoulders with other races and becoming friends, it is natural to go to a friend's house as a guest, so that you can enjoy the air-conditioning without spending money.

Triss is the one who exchanges the most ice. She is a handy dwarf who has also taught many people how to make quilts. She has a quilt, several linen clothes, and several bolts of linen and cotton. With a piece of cotton cloth, she can get three pots of ice every day before the summer is over.

Her room is always cool, so she has many more suitors.

Because the dwarves are still a matriarchal clan, they are still the female lead outside and the male lead inside. A powerful female dwarf can always be pursued by a group of male dwarves behind her.

Triss was not idle during the holidays. After she greeted the manager, she moved the spinning wheel home and spun thread beside the ice basin. With her as an example, other female dwarves also brought their own spinning wheels. moved back.

After all, the thread spun during the holidays is not included in the work tasks. When they take the spun thread back, they can only get paid, which is paid, not rewarded.

But compared to the dwarves, other races are full of curiosity about this rare holiday.

No one cares about them!

In addition to not being able to fight or commit crimes or steal chickens and dogs, they can go to the woods to play together, catch prey and eat it by themselves, sleep until they wake up naturally every day, and cook a katuo or some mush when they are hungry.

Chi Yan also asked them to hold the first tug-of-war competition - football, volleyball, badminton and so on, which need to be made into balls, but the tug-of-war only needs a rope.

Each group has a different race, and there are commoners and slaves.

Two wins out of three, one game in the morning and one game in the afternoon, and finally a group of champions will be determined, and each person will get a small red flower made of paper, a small handful of wheat, and a large basin of ice.

People are enthusiastic, because they can form teams freely, but they must be of all races, so tauren become particularly popular, with great strength and good endurance, whichever group has more tauren seems to be able to win.

Tauren have never been more popular!

They were both happy and worried. They were happy that so many people praised them, smiled at them, and promised to cook wheat together to eat after receiving the reward. They were worried that so many people came to them and they couldn't agree to everyone.

"Do you want to go there?" The tauren pushed his companion.

The tauren whose body color was lighter than other tauren said, "Think about it."

The tauren gathered quickly.

The one with the lighter color said, "I'm going to the group where Barton is."

"Oh, yes, you have a good relationship with Barton!"

"He was locked up in a small room to prevent you from working too much."

"That's great. I also want a friend from the human race. I heard that the human race is very smart."

The light-colored one said: "Button is very smart, he knows a lot."

Tauren: "I'm so envious."

"No human race ever wanted to talk to us before."

The light-colored tauren lowered his head, with a smile on his lips. When Barton was locked up, he went there every day when no one was paying attention, leaning against the wall and talking to Barton. Although Barton was the one talking most of the time, he listen.

He and Barton were already friends.

The tauren got along more like family, and this was the first time he had friends.

Button is very nice, good-looking, and very lively. When talking to Button, he always feels very happy.

Before the tug-of-war competition started, Chi Yan still delivered a speech. He had no experience of giving a speech on stage, but he did go on stage to reflect on it. He didn’t do his summer homework for a year, and spent all his time playing games, and he was very talented in telling the teacher about his summer homework. Being stolen, not only being called as a parent, but also going on stage to reflect.

But he is not the only one who has to reflect on himself, and there are five people in total, one-fifth, so it's not too embarrassing.

Before the tug-of-war competition started, Chi Yan scratched his head to write a speech, and he wrote all the old-fashioned words such as "excellence in the competition" and "friendship first and competition second". He wrote it all night, Kleis Te was lying on the bed, and Chi Yan was still writing.

"Just say something." Kleist persuaded Chi Yan after seeing Chi Yan's hard work, "It's okay if you don't say anything."

Chi Yan buried his head and wrote vigorously: "How can that be done? I have to participate anyway, the most important thing is to participate."

It's fine if the housekeeper doesn't allow him to go to the tug-of-war, but it's hard to organize a small "sports meeting", so why not take part in it?

Chi Yan also plans to hold a sports meeting every year in the future. There are not too many events, just throwing shot put.

Long-distance running and sprinting, long jump and high jump, tug-of-war, etc. can not only exercise the body, but also cultivate team spirit without spending money. Isn't it beautiful?

Even if you spend money, you are poor.

In the end, Chi Yan drew up a speech.

Finally, it was the day when the tug-of-war competition started. Everyone got up early and went to the river to fetch water. Although the river water cannot be directly imported, it can be used for washing. There is no pollution. In addition, there are not many parasites and bacteria in the running water. Chi Yan did not strictly prohibit people from using the river water, only the water at the entrance must be filtered and boiled before being used.

It is also very simple to make a container for filtering water, and now everyone has it at home.

The bottom layer is a muslin cloth, followed by clean fine sand, charcoal and stones that have been basked in the sun. Water is poured from the top, and after it leaks from the bottom, boil it and drink it.

Although people don't know if this method is useful, but since the adults let them do it, they will do it.

The adults will never harm them, and it is always right to listen to the adults.

Barton also got up early to clean up. He put on his clothes and went to the river to fetch water with his companions. They all have wooden basins now. The dwarves are getting better and better. Apply a layer of vegetable glue to the wooden basin so that the wooden basin is not so easy to break.

After washing up, many people started running and jumping in the open space. Although they didn't know what the little red flower was, they knew about the wheat and the ice, and they could get it for free. Everyone was very excited.

Barton was also excited. This time he was in the same group as Gener, who was the half-blood tauren.

Since the last time he helped Gener to speak and was locked in a dark room, their relationship has improved. They will greet each other every day, and sometimes talk to each other. Gener will also take the initiative to help him with work, although he has repeatedly pushed refused, but Gunner didn't listen to what he was saying.

maybe……

Button patted his face with cold water, feeling that he was too bad.

Gunner regarded him as a friend, but his purpose was not pure at all.

The ropes are ready, the lines are drawn, and everyone is out in the open, ready to show off.

The goblins are very nervous. Compared with other races, their strength is too small. Fortunately, the number of each race in this team is about the same, otherwise the goblins must be at the bottom.

Chi Yan was very nervous before he took the stage to speak. He asked Kleist several times: "Is it really all right?"

Kleist answered him every time: "No problem, you are fine."

In fact, even if Chi Yan went up and said a few casual words, no one would think that what he said was bad.

Chi Yan took a deep breath, stepped onto the stage that had been set up, and looked down at everyone.

Everyone raised their heads to look at him, with yearning, hope and admiration on their faces, all kinds of emotions mixed together.

It reminded Chi Yan of the lines he heard when he was playing the game.

"The feeling of having a burden on your shoulders is a thousand people, each looking forward to your every word."

Even though it was just a tug of war, Chi Yan suddenly felt something else.

Maybe God sent him here for a reason.

It is pity for the poor people here.

Everyone has a mission from birth, and Chi Yan's mission is not in modern times, but here.

Chi Yan let out a long breath, ignored the finished manuscript, and discarded it directly.

"Last year, our harvest was twice that of the previous year. Now everyone has clothes to wear, a place to live, and food to fill their stomachs."

"I hope you don't slack off, don't start to be lazy when you think that the current life is good enough, there are no lazy people in this land."

"We are still facing threats, natural disasters or man-made disasters, the winter is getting longer and longer, and the summer temperature is getting higher and higher. We may face drought and extremely cold winters. You must always remember that the current Life is by no means our last pursuit."

……

The people below listened quietly.

It was also at this time that they suddenly discovered that the days when they were hungry and naked seemed to be far away from them.

Before they even realized it, they got used to their current life.

As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded or rewarded accordingly.

Even those who lack arms and legs can get enough food to support themselves without being lazy.

Chi Yan talked a lot, and finally made a conclusion: "Last year, everyone did a good job. I hope this year will be better than last year, and next year will be better than this year."

He borrowed a lot of what the headmaster said before the sports meeting, but the meaning is pretty much the same anyway.

But the effect is very good...

The people here have never heard these words that would make the ears of modern middle school students callous.

Everyone was very excited. If they were not worried about the competition, they would probably have gone back to work.

Now people are used to the concept of "no work, no food", and at the same time agree with the saying "do more and earn more".

They were tug-of-war below, and Chi Yan was watching from the balcony of the castle. He began to miss his student days. Anyway, when he was studying tug-of-war, as long as he was on the side, he would definitely win—although it probably had nothing to do with him It doesn't matter, after all, Chi Yan is not very strong.

The classmates all said that Chi Yan was a mascot, and he was blessed with lucky buffs even if he didn't have to play.

When others were tug-of-war, other people were also cheering on the sidelines. This is the benefit of group activities. Barton ran in the open space, shouting while running: "Strength! Strength!"

The person in the tug-of-war scolded: "You, you watch the fun, and you, you are still shouting non-stop, get out of here!"

The two sides used their breastfeeding strength to tug of war, and the red mark on the rope was facing this way and that direction for a while.

The spectators watched with enthusiasm.

Even the servants in the castle went down to watch the fun, and they were anxious to go up by themselves.

"Didn't you eat?!"

"Quick pull! Otherwise you will lose!"

As soon as the morning game was over, they were looking forward to arriving in the afternoon soon. They also ate two katuo for lunch, and people in one group would discuss "tactics".

"The tauren stands last!"

"Yes, the weaker ones stand in front, and the stronger ones stand behind."

Button was a little nervous, and said to Gerner, "It's our turn in the afternoon."

Gener nodded and ate the katuo.

Button: "Aren't you nervous? What if you lose?"

Gener looked up at Barton, and asked a little strangely: "There is no penalty for losing."

……Right.

Barton held his chin and watched Gener eat. As long as Gener eats well, he feels full.

The person next to him said with a smile, "Barton, don't you think you've taken a fancy to Gener?"

"I knew it! Barton went to find Gener every day!"

Barton was so irritated by the laughter: "I want you to take care of it! Anyway, I have a crush on you and no one has a crush on you!"

The tug-of-war competition lasted only a few days. On the day of the final, Chi Yan watched the battle in person, and then hung small red flowers on the chests of the victors one by one. Since there were no pins, they were hung with ropes.

The winners all raised their heads and chests, their faces flushed, and those who didn't know thought they were going to be grooms soon.

After the tug-of-war, the relationship between the various races became much more harmonious, especially those who had been teammates. Every day, you could see goblins and tauren, or dwarves eating and chatting with human races, even commoners and slaves. There are also contacts.

Chi Yan: "It's worth my exhaustion!"

He raised his head and begged for praise: "The contradiction between civilians and slaves is a contradiction between two classes. Since the class cannot be broken in a short time, start with the relationship between people. After becoming friends, even if you still have a class concept, I won’t show it easily anymore! I’m called boiled frog in warm water, take pictures slowly!”

Seeing Chi Yan's excited look, Kleist reached out and touched Chi Yan's head, then bent down, hugged Chi Yan's waist, and directly hugged Chi Yan.

It was only then that Chi Yan had to lower his head to see Kleist.

He was a little embarrassed, but this feeling was really not bad.

Chi Yan lowered his head, kissed Kleist's lips with reddish cheeks.

Because Kleist's hands are on Chi Yan's waist, the rhythm and depth are all controlled by Chi Yan.

Different from Kleist's very possessive kiss, Chi Yan's kiss was very light, gentle, and lingering.

Chi Yan himself prefers this kind of kiss, it's very comfortable.

Chi Yan hummed while kissing.

Kleist's jaw became tighter and tighter, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Don't hum."

Chi Yan distanced himself from Kleist, and his blushing was even more comparable to Wanxia: "You let me go down."

Kleist's bayonet was drawn.

Chi Yan looked forward to it, but was more afraid.

He still doesn't want to know why the flowers are so red.

Kleist looked into Chi Yan's eyes, Chi Yan turned his head, but didn't meet Kleist's eyes.

Kleist sighed softly and put Chi Yan down.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Chi Yan jumped a few meters away in an instant, not only blushing, but also the tips of his ears. He didn't dare to look at Kleist, hey!Kleist's bayonet out of its sheath now is really disgraceful, so I better not look at it, save him some face!

"Pig iron... have you got it back?" Chi Yan managed to find his voice, and asked a random topic.

Kleist looked calm, as if there was nothing wrong with him.

Kleist: "It should be on the way."

Kleist smiled at Chi Yan.

Chi Yan saw Kleist's smile from the corner of his eye.

This man is so alluring, he is emitting hormones almost all the time.

Did you say that you are the succubus?

Chi Yan swallowed: "Then, shall I have someone remind me?"

Kleist raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who will go?"

Just as Chi Yan was about to speak, Kleist sat on a chair beside him and said slowly, "Let me go?"

Chi Yan looked at him.

Kleist gave Chi Yan a sideways look: "No."

Chi Yan: "...No, I won't go if I don't go."

After the tug-of-war, the holiday is also over. Although the holiday is short, people are relaxed and happy.

It is the kind of happiness that satisfies the physical needs and also meets the spiritual needs. They even play rope tug-of-war after finishing their work, and the smiles on their faces become more. Even children can learn from adults Going to tug of war.

The bad news also came at this time.

This summer lasted longer than usual, and the riverbed has dropped. Although it has not reached the point where water cannot be obtained, they are in the upper reaches, and the riverbed in the upper reaches has dropped to half of what it used to be, let alone other places. .

Chi Yan was very worried, and so was the housekeeper.

"Is there still time to store water?" Chi Yan was worried that they didn't dig the water storage tank. When the water storage tank was dug, whether there was still water became a big problem.

Chi Yan thought for a while, then said, "Dig the well."

The project of digging the storage tank is too huge, and once it is really dry, the storage tank will not play much role.

After all, in addition to daily water and drinking water, we also need to irrigate the land.

This fall, we will plant cotton, and we will have to irrigate the land after we have fertilized it.

But they don't have the equipment to dig wells, so they can only do it now.

So the importance of pig iron was once again highlighted.

Chi Yan first draws the things he needs, the first is the butterfly cone. The head of the cone is a bit like an ice bucket, and there are two mud buckets shaped like butterfly wings on the top. When the cone drills into the soil, the sand will be brought into the mud bucket In the well, the sediment can be brought out while drilling the well.

Then you have to use wood to make wells.

If the well is drilled deep, it must be lowered layer by layer to avoid landslides later.

Anyway, wells have to be drilled, and it is better to drill them sooner rather than later. Even if the river bed rises later, the wells will not be drilled in vain.

The river bed was dropping day by day. Chi Yan and Karl rode a horse to look downstream. When Karl came back, he told Chi Yan that the downstream river bed was dry. Karl didn't know how to convert the distance, so he could only say, "Two days on horseback."

It's not short, but it's not long either. It's conceivable that the riverbed here will be dry soon.

This is not a brook or puddle, this is a river. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the river of life on their side.

All stream branches sprawl from this river.

When the river dries up, the only other source of water is groundwater.

But not every piece of land can have a well, and not every well has enough water.

May do a lot of useless work.

There is a well in the holy courtyard, so the holy courtyard must have the technology of surveying directions and digging wells.

However, the Holy Academy firmly holds all the high-tech technologies in the palm of their hands, and monopolizes all the possibilities of technological development. If Chi Yan wants to dig a well, he has to go one step at a time.

Maybe the wrong place was hit, it was very deep, and it took a lot of manpower and time, but still no water could be seen.

In particular, there are no professional talents who look at the terrain to find water sources. Not every piece of land can drill wells.

Thinking of this, Chi Yan became furious.

What?It is simply the chief culprit in restricting social development!

Chi Yan said bitterly to the butler: "The way of the Holy Court is against humanity!"

The butler didn't understand.

Chi Yan wanted to bite the tip of the pen, but the quill pen didn't have a tip, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Won't the conscience of the Holy Dean be overwhelmed?"

If the Holy Academy can disclose the technology in hand, the people here will not say that they will live a better life immediately, at least they will not be as miserable as they are now.

Chi Yan: "I know he won't make it difficult. Those people only have power in their eyes, not life."

Chi Yan continued to babble: "Faith is to give people psychological comfort, to restrain people's behavior, not to repeatedly oppress."

A healthy religion should encourage people to go upward.

Only cults use fear to control their followers.

For example—if you don’t follow the teachings, you will suffer like a pig or a dog in your next life.

The teaching of health should be—according to the teaching, you will be able to live a good life in your next life.

The two look alike, but the content is vastly different.

The former is to give the congregation fear, and the latter is to give the congregation hope.

The former is control and the latter is encouragement.

Chi Yan clenched his little fist and said to the housekeeper, "I will not let the Holy Court's conspiracy succeed! I can't control other places, but no matter how severe the situation is in my territory, no one can die! "

The butler nodded.

—if grown-ups were not so childish when they spoke.

That's quite regal.

But it's also nice and cute.

The housekeeper blushed.

Hey, I knew he should have gotten married when he was young, and he should have grandchildren now.

If the grandson can be as cute as an adult, he will sleep with a smile every day.
