Wolf King

In the early years, Xiao Yun watched a documentary about beekeepers chasing flowering seasons. The couple drove a truck with a carload of bees chasing flowering seasons all over the country. It was very hard work and full of charm of life.

Later, when I was watching the video of Northeast Master Pankang on Douyin, I accidentally saw the showy operation of beekeeping by Northeast farmers. The farmers who broadcast the live broadcast did not use the previous rectangular wooden boxes, but built a cement beehive. To use - I later learned that cement beehives are actually a common operation, one is durable, and the other is cold protection.

Keeping bees on grasslands is impossible to chase flowering everywhere, and there is no need to move beehives around. In addition, the cold temperate climate is really cold in winter, so cement beehives must be more cold-proof than wooden beehives; another thing, wooden beehives want to be used more It will take a long time to test the workmanship, Xiao Yun feels that he does not have that skill...

When everything was silent, the moon was dark and the wind was high, Xiao Yun took Balk to the depths of the alfalfa field. Apart from carpentry tools and wood, he had prepared cement and bricks in advance.

"We use cement and bricks to make the outer wall of the honeycomb, and make it a rectangle, about this big." Xiao Yun stood at the position he had chosen and gestured with his hands, "Put the nest frames in the middle, and line them up one by one. Leave room for bee paths... The nest foundation on the frame is to imitate the honeycomb structure and let the bees live in it. I don't know how to do it. Let's try to provide empty planks first, or try to weave a similar small one with rattan grass. Grid, let's see if the bees buy it..."

"In this way, the wooden boards are put in vertically, and the wooden boards form a honeycomb structure, will the bees live in it?" Balk said enthusiastically.

"...If the bees feel that the house we provide them is comfortable." Xiao Yun nodded, "How can a bee's nest in the wild not be as strong and warm as a beehive with a concrete outer wall?"

Balk thought it wasn't true. His castle was built by summoning low-level demons to dig rocks from the mountain. It looked pretty, but it was far less comfortable to live in than the cement brick house of the Snow Wolf Clan. Now he doesn't want to go back to live in a cold castle. I'm ready, and I'm gearing up right away... Carrying hydrated cement, I don't dislike the job being dirty, dirty, etc., and I do it very actively.

Xiao Yun was not surprised by this, because in this world, sugar is considered a luxury!

In other words, in a world with backward productivity, sugar is not cheap... In the modern history of the earth, the number of blacks who were captured in the slave trade were buried in sugarcane plantations in foreign countries.The capitalists plundered black slaves frantically because the profit from planting sugar cane was no less than the profiteering from illegal drugs at that time.

Sweetness is the most popular taste sensation. Not to mention humans, ants know how to chase after sugar. It can be seen that the demand for sugar is regardless of race or species.Only modern people who are tired of eating all kinds of sweets are qualified to hypocritically say that they don’t like sweets, and replace it with places with backward productivity. Hehe, ordinary people can experience sweetness once a year, which is considered a good standard of living.

The green dragon Balk who owns a piece of forest territory, the last time he ate serious sweets was when he was doing business with the forest elves... It's not that he can't afford candy, but that he doesn't have the concept of fair trade with others. "I want everything" that catches my eye, and I can only get in and out. If this kind of evil guest comes to the door, the forest elves will treat them to a meal, and give them sugar?The forest elves look silly and sweet!

So, Balk is also greedy for honey...

It took two nights to make six cement beehives lined up in a row, put the wooden frame into it, and cover the top with protruding wooden boards to leave a gap for the bees to shuttle through. The bees that came to pick flowers from the alfalfa field lived there... In order to speed up the process, Xiao Yun patiently shook some pollen with a clean cloth and sprinkled it into the beehive, hoping to bring in these little honey-breeding guys as soon as possible.

During this process, Balke was impatient, and he didn't want others to see his impatience. The twisted appearance made Xiao Yun feel anxious for him... Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and the first flowering period of the alfalfa field was about ten Days later, five swarms of bees happily moved into their new home.

Balk was very happy, but he didn't want others to see that he was happy. He followed the soldiers in and out with a sullen face all day long; If you see this guy from afar, you can hide as far as you can.

"He kept his promise, and didn't expose the secret bee keeping." Xiao Yun stroked his chin in satisfaction. This was a rare shining point in the Green Dragon, although he had a bad personality and a big temper, so he couldn't beat him up ( This is Xiao Yun's most angry), but it is a good thing to have a sense of keeping promises, which means that this guy can at least be responsible for his words and deeds, and he is not a bear.

"Master Xing said, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimps, dried shrimps...can fight dragons." Turning his eyes to the goblins who were eating in the corner of the pile far away, Xiao Yun's eyes flashed...

Balke stared blankly at the two shivering little guys in front of him, turned his head and asked Hongye dissatisfied: "Ah Yun really told me to watch them?"

The two adult goblins, Baron and Gal, almost fell to the ground with their feet so weak.

Hong Ye secretly scolded Xiao Yun who asked her to pass the message, but remembered Xiao Yun's words firmly, and said with a smile: "Ah Yun said, the soldiers go out in rotation, and you are the only one who goes out every day. You have worked hard during this time." Already, let you also change to a lighter job, which can be regarded as a rest..."

Hearing this, Balk felt extremely comfortable: "No need, it doesn't matter to me whether I rest or not."

When you turn around and get busy, don't forget what you said!Hongye slandered in her heart, smiling on the surface: "Of course we know that you are different from us, but we all live together, and there is no reason why anyone who is particularly capable should always be required to pay. If this is the case, won't other people feel very sorry? You just treat it like that. Don't make us too embarrassed, and do some light work once in a while."

The corners of Balke's mouth turned up uncontrollably, pretending to be magnanimous: "Okay, just keep an eye on these two gadgets?"

"Baron and Gal are going to the forest to collect wild garlic for the tribe. You know, tofu curd and stir-fried vegetables will taste much worse without wild garlic. Originally, we were supposed to accompany them to this job, but the first batch of alfalfa planted It's time to start harvesting, so I have to trouble you." Hongye said so much that her tongue was almost tied up... Ayun asked her to express the simple meaning in such complicated words, so it's very worrying!

"Leave it to me!" Balk waved his hand, walked out with his head upright... After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned his head, throwing disgusted eyes at the two trembling goblins, "Hurry up and catch up with me!" !"

Baron and Gal looked at Hongye in fear... As a result, Hongye only urged them to hurry up with her eyes, unable to hold back, the two goblins could only face the cruel life with tears in their eyes.

"Go and come back quickly, pay attention to safety!" Hongye waved.

"Don't worry!" Balk said loudly.

Hong Ye watched the trio leave the tribe, turned her head and ran to find Xiao Yun.

"Ayun, are you so relieved to let Balk accompany Baron and Gal?" Seeing Xiao Yun holding the clay in a relaxed manner, Hongye felt annoyed.

"If he doesn't agree, there's nothing to say. If he agrees, you can rest assured." Xiao Yun turned the pottery bowl slowly.

"...What on earth are you planning?" Hong Ye had learned a lot, and it was not so easy for Xiao Yun to fool her.

Xiao Yun carefully took off the made pottery bowl, put it aside to dry, and stood up after wiping his hands: "Didn't I tell you, I have taught that guy's bad nature. Don't look at Balk, who hasn't enjoyed much, this guy I really don’t know what suffering is in the world. As a dragon, the worst and most embarrassing thing is that the jewelry and beloved things are robbed by the father. It’s hard to survive? It doesn’t exist. The dragon will not die easily no matter how much he struggles. He lacks life. Awe, so, let him see how the weakest goblin on this grassland is struggling to survive, don't ask him to have empathy for the goblin, at least let him know the weight of the word survival. "

"Uh..." It was that sort of incomprehensible but plausible argument again, which made Hongye speechless for a while.

"We ourselves have suffered and lived a hard life, so we can understand races that are weaker than us, and we won't despise others just because they are weak, and think their lives are worthless." Xiao Yun said seriously, "We The snow werewolves hold this concept, but it does not mean that others will be like us. Think about it, Hongye, how did we meet Balk in the first place? That guy took the gray dwarves back as slaves indifferently. Do you think he would go to Do you respect lives that are weaker than him? To correct this guy's wrong world view, of course, let him understand that small lives also have the dignity and way of life of small lives."

"Actually, I don't care what will happen to that guy, I'm just worried about Baron and Gal." Hongye said bluntly, compared to goblins, green dragons are not likable at all, and it was Ayun who coaxed him all the time for the peace of the tribe. Others don't know she doesn't know.

"Hehe...don't worry, all the gold, silver and jewels of that guy are with me." Xiao Yun chuckled, "If something happens to Baron and Gal, all his wealth will be gone."

Hongye: "...(oyan o)"

Baron & Gal: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Shut up, I'll throw you down again." The green dragon Balk, who was soaring leisurely, said lazily.

Baron & Gall immediately covered each other's mouth, closed their eyes, and endured the fear of being caught in mid-air by the dragon's claws.

It takes several hours to fly in ten minutes, and this is the case where Balck deliberately slowed down and lowered the flying altitude.

Released his left paw and threw the paralyzed two goblins to the ground. Balk took out his robe and put it on, looking at the two goblins expressionlessly.

Baron & Gal: "...??"

"Don't you want to collect wild garlic?" Balk was dissatisfied.

The two goblins jumped up quickly... twitching their noses four times.

Balk loves tofu curds, cold yuqian and bean sprouts (bean sprouts that are boiled and boiled). Naturally, he likes the taste of wild garlic. When the two goblins were gathering, the old man followed behind with his arms folded. I want to see what such a delicious wild garlic looks like.

Both Baron and Gal's feet were soft, which did not hinder their work. After touching for a while outside the forest where the trees were relatively sparse, they found the target.

"...Huh?" Balk felt a little strange seeing the two goblins kneeling down to pick up grass. After Baron dug out the wild garlic with small and round stems and thin leaves like grass leaves from the weed pile, carefully removed the large roots. Then he was surprised to find that this seemingly indistinguishable thing from weeds was actually his favorite wild garlic? !

Most of the wild garlic grows in flakes, and when I found one place, I must have looked around carefully; the two goblins knelt directly on the ground, pawing left and right, and they dug out handfuls of wild garlic.

Fold a handful of wild garlic, wrap the leaves around the stem, and put it into a small bag made of bark. The two goblins shrink back and look at the green dragon who is standing next to the supervisor like an uncle. After a while, they muster their courage: "Around here...we're done picking, let's go, go to another place to look for it?"

"Lead the way." This time, Balk walked ahead without arrogance.Even though it was small, he was a bit of a loser... How could he recognize the wild garlic that looked like grass.

Rushi picked two more pieces of wild garlic, and when he continued to collect, Baron found something good.

"Ba, Balk, shall we go pick some mushrooms?" Baron was the most courageous among the goblins, and stammered, "Well, there are mushrooms over there..."

"What are you doing?" Balk frowned.

"That's right, put it in when cooking the soup, it can make the soup taste more delicious..." Baron said nervously.

Balk thought for a while, and Hongye didn't say that he could only collect wild garlic, so he waved his hand generously.

After collecting shiitake mushrooms, I found a small piece of matsutake that was growing well. Xiao Yun knew this thing even though he didn’t know the goblins, and happily put it in the bag; there were also some that grew on the ground or even grew in the soil Edible mushrooms were also found by goblins with first-class gathering skills.

The bags at the waists of the two were filled quickly, and they were untied from the belts, sealed and tied, and carried on the backs. Then, the rolled bark fiber woven bags were unfolded and hung on the belts.

When collecting wild garlic again, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

"Huh?" Balk frowned and looked into the depths of the forest. The branches and leaves blocked his sight, and he only felt that there seemed to be a bear's breath in that direction.Bear meat Balk doesn't like to eat it, it's woody and hard, and he loses interest after looking at it, and looks away.

…Then he saw the two goblins stop collecting, dig out a piece of land, pull out the soil inside, and then scramble to squeeze into the hole.

Balk: "...??"

The two goblins who got into the hole and were about to drag the turf to seal the roof suddenly froze.

Balk realized what the two little things were doing, and veins appeared on his forehead: "I, Balk are standing here, but you are afraid of a bear?"

Baron and Gal jumped out of the hole as if pressing the accelerator button, quickly filled back the soil dug out just now, covered the ground, and jumped back to the original place to dig wild garlic, as if nothing happened just now Same.

"..." Balk suddenly felt a sense of entanglement that if he was seriously angry, the price would drop, and if he was not angry, it would be embarrassing.

Thinking that the little goblin is not enough for him to slap him, if he speaks louder, the other party seems to be scared to death, Balk gritted his teeth and suppressed the little bit of annoyance.

"Damn it, I actually want to give in to this little thing." After recollecting his "surrender", Balck's expression was not very good.

Gathering is a tedious and time-consuming job, and Balk has no sense of coming forward to help. He just hangs around with his arms folded all the way. Naturally, the amount of wild garlic collected in this day is not as good as when the snow werewolves accompany the goblins. But after returning to the tribe, Balk had just landed, turned into a human form and hadn't put on clothes yet, Xiao Yun greeted him, and praised Balk's bear face, what a great help to us, really If it is reliable, it will be sent out free of charge.

The goblin designated that he didn't have the guts to sue, saying that Balk was only an overseer and didn't do much, so Balk was photographed comfortably for a while, thinking that he had done a good job of "watching the goblin", and unknowingly agreed to continue to "help a lot".

The next day, Balk, who grabbed the two goblins with his big paws and flew towards the edge of the forest, felt that something was wrong... but he really couldn't understand what was wrong.

After another boring day, Balk, who was in an inexplicable mood, grabbed the little goblin and returned to the tribe. This time, he ran into Caogen, the old patriarch of the snow wolf clan...

The grassroots patriarch's acting skills are much more natural and smooth than Hongye's. It seems that he has just returned from the shed area with three tribesmen, and "just happened" to see the grassroots who landed as a transport plane on a voluntary basis. Look, and then turned to his own people and said, "No wonder Hongye and the others are so relieved to harvest alfalfa. It turns out that Balk helped them a lot!"

Not knowing what the grassroots were talking about, the three clan members looked confused: "??"

Balk, who was still in pain and wondering what he was doing, subconsciously puffed up his chest...

On the third day, Balk, who still vaguely felt that something was wrong, was basically in a good mood when he flew to the forest... It is true that he was tired of this kind of boring work of hanging around with the little goblin all day, but the Dragon Clan Well, I've spent many boring days, and it's not bad for a few days.

"Today's flattery... Mao Mao, it's up to you."

In the tribe, Xiao Yun swept around a few tribesmen who could be useful in the great cause of Green Dragon's training, and named Yu.

Lan Guo heaved a sigh of relief, and Yu immediately showed a very reluctant expression.

"A bit of team spirit, Hongye and Grassroots have worked hard, how can you lose the chain?" Xiao Yun followed the temptation, "You don't need to memorize a long paragraph like Hongye, just learn the method of the grassroots patriarch yesterday, Just say something that Balk can hear. If you are really unhappy in your heart, then think about it: the preferential treatment, consideration, and special care for this product are all for the next ten years. Let him do the work a hundred times more. The only time that guy laughs is now, and when he cries in the future... Thinking about it this way, doesn't he feel much more comfortable?"

Feather, blue fruit, grass root, red leaf: "..."

"Okay, everyone go to work, Mao Mao, come here and let me tell you what to do..."

Yu... How can Yu be so sloppy, just bite the bullet and say it!

On the fourth day, when the green dragon Balk went to "work", it was the two goblins who took the initiative to find...

If you want to say which race in this world can do boring things with the most interest, the name must be the Dragon Race. It has a long life span, can guarantee survival without dying, and is full of energy. What else can you do if you don’t do boring things?

So the dragons sleep casually throughout the winter, and if they get a certain toy, they can just stare at the toy and giggle happily for ten days... So let Balk be the "supervisor" for the two little goblins for a few days , it’s really nothing, as long as you are willing to do it...

After wandering around with the goblins on his hips for three days, Balk really felt a little flustered. On the fourth day, he decided to find something to do during the process of "helping a lot": staring at the two busy collecting goblins. The little goblins, pass the time with their labor process.

Someone on earth said this when they sued their direct blood relatives. The greatest cruelty is ignorance, which makes sense. If a person who is living in front of your eyes just doesn’t fall into your eyes, it must be more hurtful than deliberately targeting people. .

This is how Balk viewed goblins before. Even though he was forced by his father to have a home and ran to live with others, he did not pay attention to the minority and absolutely weak goblins in the Snow Wolf tribe. In other words, he didn't think goblins were intelligent creatures at all.If the goblin hadn't come earlier than him and had already integrated into the life of the snow wolf clan, Balk would have made a first impression upon his arrival, and he might be dissatisfied that the snow werewolf provided the goblin with food of the same quality as him.

Finally, Balk, who was willing to give a little attention to the goblin (on the premise that he had nothing else to do), found that the goblin, an ugly and weak thing that he didn't even care about catching slaves, was not completely useless— —The two of them collected a lot of wild garlic, and besides, they could also find some delicious game, which was not completely useless as he had imagined.

Balk, who had a slight change in mentality, returned to the tribe that day, and it was Qingyan and Qiu from the cat tribe who were responsible for affirming his "effort". The wild garlic and wild game ingredients he brought back looked very happy, and he said to the two goblins and Balk: "Thank you for your hard work, it is all thanks to you that you can put enough wild garlic in everything you eat these days."

Balk habitually raised his chest, feeling a little guilty for no reason... Perhaps, he should also try to gather wild garlic tomorrow?

When Balk was struggling to do the same work as the goblin, Xiao Yun approached him and said with a smile, "It's been hard work for you these few days, and you don't have to go collecting from tomorrow onwards."

Balk breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yun continued: "We have to quickly take back the alfalfa in batches during this time, and we are really too busy... Balk, the goblins are going to quarry limestone tomorrow, can you please take care of them?"

"Yes." Balk didn't hesitate.

Xiao Yun smiled and said: "I knew you were very reliable, so I will trouble you. I will entrust the safety of the nine goblins in our tribe to you. To tell you the truth, this batch of limestone is very important. After a month or so, it will be rainy, we need to strengthen the embankment, and we need to use a lot of cement..." After a pause, looking around for no one, Xiao Yun lowered his voice and said, "That's what we do. The cement used in the beehives is made of limestone, and the house we live in is also built with this, and we cannot live without it.”

"Oh..." Balk understood, and felt a little proud at once. It turned out to be such an important thing, no wonder it was asked on him!

The next day, Balk, with a straight chest, followed a group of goblins, big and small, to the short mountain quarry in the southeast of the tribe, out of the dry land. The cement, which is so important to the Snow Wolf Tribe, is actually mined from the ground?

Arriving at the quarry, a low mountain with a small slope was dug out, which made Balk stunned for a while... For the Dragon Clan, it is not difficult to flatten such a small mountain with full magic, but... it is as weak as a reptile. The goblins in the world can actually dig out such a gap in the mountain?

He was dazed, and the conscious goblins had already stepped forward to start work.This mountain bag bulged due to changes in the earth's crust was dug out and the rock layer below the surface is covered with limestone. It is about three to 40 meters high, which is not high, but it is also a very dangerous height for goblins, so they excavated from top to bottom. Dig down and down in steps; nine goblins, old and young, climbed to the top, and their tiny figures walked on the white and slightly steep mountain wall, just like ants climbing up a tree inconspicuous.

Balk suddenly felt that something was touched in his heart, but he seriously thought about where it was touched, but he really couldn't feel it.
