9. Reclaim wasteland(1/2)

No one knows when No. 1 and No. 2 came back, but when they got up early they saw them still standing on the city wall.

Early the next morning, Ono released numerous flying cameras the size of mosquitoes, flying in all directions to explore unknown maps.

People got up one after another.

They were particular about getting some water and wiping their faces, and those who were accustomed to fleeing went out directly. The men put on their clothes and went to the city gate to wait. Women with children tied their babies behind their backs with cloth, so that they could work without delaying taking care of their children.

Gathering place at the city gate.

As the sky grew brighter, more and more people gathered. Wei Zhou and Yuanyou arrived together.

The slaves sat or stood, knowing that they were not welcome and keeping a distance from the crowd.

Everyone stood in confusion, looking forward to it.

"Everyone has worked hard to open up wasteland today." Yuan You stood up and spoke. "The new city lord is kind-hearted and understands that it is not easy for the slaves to work in shackles. I have given an order to remove the shackles. Slaves, please stand up and take off the shackles."

What a great job."

Everyone was stunned.

The slaves couldn't believe it. They had been shackled since birth and had no idea what freedom was like.

Leng Yi took the lead and stood up first.

Wei Zhou nodded with satisfaction and motioned to the soldiers beside him. Two soldiers stepped forward and opened the shackles.

The molds for shackles are universal, but the keys vary widely.

If it doesn't work once, you can always open it after trying a few times.

The shackles were removed and the soldiers put them away.

Leng Yi felt that his hands and feet had never felt so relaxed. It turned out that the shackles were such heavy things.

Freedom was so wonderful that he was a little at a loss as to what to do. His body couldn't adapt, and he almost fell to one side when moving.

"Don't take up space. Next one." The soldier pushed Leng Yi aside. Immediately, slaves came over and they lined up consciously.

Finally it was Fang Youan's turn.

Wei Zhou and Yuan You were surprised. They were supposed to be the servants in the city lord's courtyard, but they didn't have to come.

But when people come, they won't say anything.

When a pair of shackles were removed, some people cried with joy, while others stood there in a daze. They never thought that one day they would be able to remove the shackles.

The hands, feet, and body were so relaxed and relaxed, as if they were reborn.

"The city lord is merciful, and you have to work hard in return." Yuanyou reminded them, observing them calmly.

Although he asked for grace, he didn't want anyone to be ungrateful. If he was really ungrateful, he could only expel him.

"Thank you City Lord for releasing us. We will definitely work hard and repay you. Thank you City Lord, thank you City Lord..."

The slaves were very excited as they thanked each other one after another.

Yuanyou didn't see anyone with a wrong expression, so he nodded happily. He was quite sensible.

"It's quite lively." Zhu Qinghong, who was wearing a red dress, came over. Everyone looked over and were instantly amazed.

Her black hair was pulled up and her hair was styled into a bun.

The red and green hairband hangs down from the back of her head, fluttering and dancing when the wind blows. A strand of hair hangs from the temples, adding a touch of tenderness to her flamboyant beauty. The green top and red skirt have complicated and delicate dark patterns.

The tassel accessories around her waist collide with her movements, creating a different kind of beauty. With perfect makeup and gorgeous jewelry, it is no exaggeration to say that she is a fairy in the sky. Zhu Qinghong's beautiful eyes are so suffocating.

Her red lips were slightly raised, and her smile was like a hundred flowers in bloom.

"See City Lord." Yuanyou was the first to respond.

Wei Zhou immediately came to his senses and bowed his head in salute.

Then the soldiers and the people.

Fang Youan knelt down to salute and shouted to the Lord of the City.

The slaves followed suit.

The people hesitated for a moment, then followed the crowd and knelt down.

"See the Lord of the City" in unison, which is what people want.

Zhu Qinghong smiled and raised his hand: "Get up. Military Advisor Yuan, leave the city."

"Yes." Yuanyou looked at Wei Zhou.

Wei Zhou immediately asked the soldiers to open the city gate.

The people stood up one after another and moved out of the way.

The city gate slowly opened, and Zhu Qinghong was the first to walk out. Yuanyou and Wei Zhou followed, followed by the common people.

Except for the soldiers who were standing guard, everyone left the city in a mighty manner. Zhu Qinghong came to the forest where he lived that night. The terrain was flat and endless as far as the eye could see. The space door opened, and a cylindrical robot wearing a doctor's hat appeared.

It spits out a piece of paper with a floor plan.

Yuanyou took it and looked at it with Wei Zhou, wondering why.

Zhu Qinghong turned around and said, "Come here empty-handed, do you want to open up wasteland by hand?"

Some people did work and carried hoes.

Some people looked at each other and immediately turned back to the city to get tools. Zhu Qinghong waved to the man with the hoe to come forward.

She turned the paper in Yuanyou's hand and said, "Hold it upside down. This is the farmland planning and design drawing."

Looking at their expressions, Zhu Qinghong knew they didn't understand.

The doctor's hat robot rolls on the ground and draws a straight line.

[Plough the ground within the line for planting. A group of three people should dig it at least three times before planting. Please act as soon as possible.]

The three people with hoes immediately went over and started digging with their hoes. One hoe after another, the soil was so tight that their hands were numb from the shock.

In order to survive, this little hardship is nothing.

They continued to dig without saying a word. The division of labor among the three was clear, and one person was responsible for digging once. After digging a piece of land, they exchanged order. After all, the person who dug the first time suffered, and no one took advantage of the other in the rotation.

Zhu Qinghong had a good impression of these three people and specifically asked their names. Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye were local people in Tianchong City.

They are neighbors and good at work. Since the farmland was destroyed, they have become soldiers to protect their families.

She nodded and gave them certain authority to manage some people. Let's call them group leaders.

After all, you have the ability and you cannot bury it.

Others brought tools and started working under Wei Zhou's command. Some people had never done it before. Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye were responsible for teaching. It is not a difficult task. Practice makes perfect. After learning, all that is left is to work hard.

Being lazy will be looked down upon by everyone.

It was very tiring and bitter, but everyone felt very sweet.

They know that digging the ground is not for others, but just to fill their stomachs.

Have lunch at noon.

Everyone queued up to the city gate to get food, each of them got a thick steamed bun and a bowl of white porridge. They had been busy all morning, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger. Everyone devoured the food without fear of choking.

After eating, they licked their bowls clean one by one. They were not full.

Women who take care of children should first feed them gruel.

Chew the steamed buns by yourself and drink some soup.

Zhu Qinghong was deeply impressed by her.

She worked hard and did not make any demands for taking care of her children. The tenacious woman was lovable, but Zhu Qinghong did not receive any special treatment.

After lunch, we started digging again.

No. 1 and No. 2 escorted us, but there were demons intruding during this period, and they were all beaten away.

From the beginning of the war, the people finally concentrated on their work. No. 1 and No. 2 gave them an unprecedented sense of security.

It was getting dark, and everyone slowly returned to the city.

Only one meal was provided a day, and they drank water or passed by if they were hungry at night. They endured hunger and looked forward to eating at noon tomorrow. To harvest enough food, a large amount of wasteland must be cultivated.

These days they do more than dig the ground.

More and more land was dug out, and the grain in the granary became less and less. Yuanyou was anxious and swallowed back every time he opened his mouth.

The flying camera sent back a lot of pictures, and I found a small river in the south. Going up the river, there is a river.

The creek is a branch of the river, and the water source is guaranteed. Even if the water source is found, it is not easy to draw it there.

The distance is a bit far, and there are a lot of demons along the way. The demons also need to eat and drink, so they naturally gather more near the water source.

Zhu Qinghong placed a map on his desk after exploration. There was a river in the south and a city in the north.

It is larger than Tian Chong City.

There are forests in the west and big country in the east. The forest is in better condition than here, at least it looks lush and green.
