Chapter 48 Zian
Chapter 48 Zian
While this also depends on the depth of the loosened soil, Enlian did indeed expend a lot of effort.
Li Mosi picked up a wooden stick and carefully checked the depth of their loosened soil.
When the five members of the loose soil group saw Li Mosi approaching with a wooden stick, they were clearly a little nervous, and forced their tired bodies to move a little faster.
They don't want to get beaten!
Seeing their bodies so exhausted they looked like fake branches, Li Mosi didn't say anything more.
He used a wooden stick to probe and inspect the fields.
Overall, there are varying degrees of difficulty, but they are all acceptable.
He turned and walked towards Enlian.
The group of five breathed a sigh of relief.
Lacas suddenly dropped his arms: "You scared me to death."
Snapped!
"Hurry up and get to work!" Lasso continued swinging his hoe. "If you do the least, you'll get whipped to death."
"Hmm~"
Lacas gave a wry smile and swung his hoe with all his might.
Li Moss walked to the land that Enlian was in charge of and stuck a wooden stick in it to check.
Due to the depletion of her strength and the pursuit of speed, Enlian's hoeing depth gradually decreased from "near the hoe's limit" at the beginning to about twelve centimeters.
It eventually dropped to just under ten centimeters.
However, this depth is sufficient.
"Master, how did I do?"
Enlian had noticed him approaching earlier and asked from a distance.
Li Mosi nodded: "Not bad."
Seeing that the bear-orc showed no hostility, he beckoned for it to come closer.
My late master called her!
Are they finally going to accept her as their disciple?
Enlian strode out of the field and quickly walked to Li Mosi's side.
Li Moss asked, "How did you join them?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the five people hoeing the ground in the distance.
The bear-orc was visibly disappointed, but there were some questions he needed to clarify.
Enlian answered, "We... well, the tribe's chief, his child disappeared for a while, and when he returned, he brought back enough food for two families to eat for a year. I heard he ran southwest, so I ran southwest too."
Compared to Li Mosi's questions, Enlian's questions were practically groundbreaking.
However, this would allow him to learn more, so he did not interrupt.
"After running for about thirty nights, I encountered a group of people. They tried to capture me, so I uprooted a small tree and defeated them. I asked them for a job, and they gave me one. So I joined them."
After Enlian finished speaking, she pointed to the five people hoeing the fields.
"They paid me and provided food, so I joined them."
Li Mosi nodded, then asked, "So what are your job responsibilities? How did they tell you?"
Enlian frowned.
"They said some important figures, the nobility, were short of manpower, and that sending these people living in the forest would earn them a reward. These people could live in better houses, have food, and even start families."
"Every time I work, I just walk to a group of dilapidated houses, put on my armor, rush in, see who's the strongest, and grab whoever I can."
A dilapidated house?
Li Mo thought of the ruins where the original body was trapped.
The primary target of the slave-catching teams should have been the settlements of these escaped slaves.
He asked one last question: "How much is the compensation?"
"Every time we go out..."
Enlian looked up and pondered for a while before continuing to speak.
"Is that enough to last me for forty days during the coldest part of winter?"
She herself wasn't sure.
But the pay is definitely very high.
After she finished speaking, she saw that Li Mosi was silent.
Enlian asked cautiously, "They're lying to me, aren't they, Master?"
Li Mosi nodded.
"Of course they're lying to you!"
A female voice came from behind Li Mosi, and he turned around to look.
At some point, the old goblin pulled the saintess over.
"You actually believed those thieves! You idiot!"
The saintess spoke sarcastically, and Enlian's brows furrowed even more.
The old goblin didn't speak, but his head-shaking gesture said it all.
"Hehehehe..."
The saintess inexplicably started laughing, leaving Li Mosi somewhat helpless.
Her words, placed in this era, are indeed somewhat offensive.
But what she said made no problem.
It's unrealistic to expect the bear-beastmen, who possess superhuman strength, to have much wisdom in the wild.
I don't have the motivation.
You know that, right?
Ignoring the saintess, Enlian spoke to Li Mosi with a cautious demeanor.
"Master, may I become your disciple?"
Li Mosi nodded: "Of course."
"Thank you, Master!"
Enlian was so happy that she knelt down, and Li Mo tried to stop her but couldn't catch her.
He spoke helplessly.
"I will accept you as my disciple when we eat later."
Enlian paused for a moment.
She realized that this matter was indeed quite important and could not be treated as casually as eating or drinking.
"Yes, yes." She stood up and nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Master."
Are you really going to take this idiot as your disciple?
The saintess's laughter stopped abruptly.
Do you want disciples or guards?
Zi'an looked towards the old goblin and asked Li Mosi, "Master, I've always been curious about who they are?"
Li Mosi glanced at the old goblin and the saintess who hadn't made any comment, and thinking about what she was about to do, decided it was time to give them a heads-up.
"This is an elder of the goblin tribe, this is a former saintess of the Church of Light, and the one practicing archery is Zi Yi, my only disciple at present."
"What does 'once' even mean!"
The saintess was immediately enraged.
Li Mosi frowned. Why was Hagi Saint's mood so strange?
What was she thinking about all afternoon?
I should ask them properly when I have the chance.
But he's not in the mood right now.
Enlian looked at the saintess: "Master, isn't she your disciple?"
Li Mosi nodded.
Enlian yelled at the saintess, "Say one more word and I'll gag you!"
The saintess choked.
She didn't want to be silenced.
But why did these words come from the mouth of the bear-beastman!
She was about to say something more when Li Mosi interrupted her.
"That's enough!" Li Moss said to Enlian. "You continue loosening the soil. Later, mix the soil that was brought over this morning into the loosened soil. I'll call you for dinner."
It's time to mix fertilizer into the soil.
This order will also be given to those five prisoners of war later.
"it is good."
Li Moss and the old goblin led the saint back to her original position.
He glanced at the old goblin who seemed to have no idea what to do, then at the saintess who was frowning in thought, and walked back to Zi Yi's side, speaking:
"For dinner, prepare enough food for two more people in our meals, and enough food for two fewer people in the slaves' meals."
Zi Yi slowly restored the bowstring to its original position: "Master, shall we make that bear-beastman your disciple?"
"That's right."
After Li Mosi finished speaking, he looked at Zi Yi, who remained remarkably calm. The equally calm old goblin spoke first:
"The bear-beastman is very powerful. With her joining us, you and your master will be safer."
Li Mosi nodded: "The apprenticeship ceremony will be held before the meal. From now on, you will call her junior sister, and you will be her senior brother."
Zi Yi looked puzzled: "Junior Sister?"
Li Mosi used a word-splitting machine translation method to break down the word into "pull" which means "the younger sister who receives education from the teacher together".
He continued, "A teacher and his students are like family. You are the first student, like the first child, and the other students are like your younger brothers and sisters."
Like family...
Zi Yi smiled and asked, "What's her name?"
"I'm going to have her call me—Zi'an."
