Neighbors in forbidden land

After the incident last night temporarily came to an end, we also restarted the plan we made before.

Although Yimi looked very unhappy last night, she was obviously much better after sleeping.

I really didn't dare to go out last night... The last time that person saw me, he just started fighting. It's really hard to imagine that humans other than Yimi would accept monsters like us.

As for Wushao... She probably got the chance to meet us because she ate the potatoes we planted... Otherwise, the reaction might be the same. It would be better to say that she would be scared away directly than the starter, right?

Anyway, I think it is not easy to get to know Yimi, so I don't expect more humans to accept us, after all, as long as we have Yimi, isn't it?

So, I tried to carry out our plan with a state of mind that exceeded normal limits like Goo.

The first is to replant the potatoes, for which a new cave has to be dug, but this time with the help of Lan Xue, the progress is indeed much faster. For example, the last time I was buried by rocks because I didn’t dig well, The difference between this time and the last time is that both Lan Xue and I were buried.

After Lan Xue and I climbed out of the rock pile, we began to divide the work. While cleaning up the gravel in the cave, we turned over the land, and on the other hand, we started to help Yimi find branches to burn plant ash.

Just like what Yimi and Wu Shao said, at the beginning, you need to apply base fertilizer to the open space to make the soil more nutrient-rich, so don’t plant potatoes today, and wait until tomorrow.

I always feel that we are really getting more and more proficient, and our movements are much faster than before.

Another task today is to continue repairing the broken ship. In terms of our ability, the repair work has reached a bottleneck, but——

"So I've become a free laborer..." Holding a hammer and metal nails, Dancing Spoon sighed heavily as he began to repair the hole in the ship's bulkhead with wooden planks, "I'll be squeezed at night and I'll be squeezed during the day... ...I strongly demand processing money!"

"Is there any salary or anything, how about the food we provide you every day?" Yimi who stood aside said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness Yimi... Potatoes are nothing like before even for us low-level common people... Is it okay to hire a carpenter at the market price for more than these few potatoes..."

"Then how about adding Bechymos meat?" Yimi smiled and clapped her hands, "You must have never eaten this, have you?"

"Bechymos? Your Highness Yimi, you are not talking about the Bechymos monster, are you..." I seemed to see the corner of Wu Shao's mouth twitching.

"That's it, how is it? This deal is still good, right?"

"Hmm..." Wu Shao stopped the movement in his hand, thought briefly for a while, and then spoke slowly, "Is it delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious."

Eh?Is it tasty?

Although I can't judge the taste very well, isn't Yimi's expression very painful every time he eats it?His expression is completely different from when he eats fish, kelp, and potatoes, and——

"Didn't you, Yimi, say no yourself..." Before I could finish my sentence, Yimi covered my mouth with her hands from behind and snatched the words:

"One bite of that taste will be unforgettable in this life, right, Xiao Hei?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuu..." But Yimi didn't intend to let go at all, so everything I said became like this.

"I haven't eaten it yet!" Xiao Gu looked eager to try, and Yimi just smiled softly, "Then Xiao Gu will try it next time."

What Xiaogu said should be similar to my situation, and it is estimated that there are different judgment standards from human beings in terms of taste.

"Is that so... Sure enough, following His Royal Highness Yimi is to see different things. Since His Royal Highness Yimi has said so, I will look forward to it." Wu Shao smiled lightly, and restarted the movement of his hands , "Can I get another plank?"

"You really eat everything..." Lan Xue, who cut the wooden board into the required specifications according to Wu Shao's request, glanced at us with contempt on his face while handing the wooden board to Wu Shao.

Although to Lan Xue her hands are also her claws, but she is different from me, she seems to be able to easily control whether her fingers are sharp or not, that's great...

When I asked her about the method, she just said such a simple thing, do I still need to ask?So I heard Goo calling "Idiot, idiot" behind me again.

"Haha, that's how human beings are." After Wu Shao took over the board, he began to place the board in the middle of the hole, and then nailed both sides to the edge of the hole with a hammer, "Don't Miss Lan Xue be interested?"

When Wu Shao asked about Lan Xue's identity before, she called Lan Xue "Sister Lan Xue", but she was almost frozen into an ice sculpture by Lan Xue after receiving it. Later, she hurriedly changed her name to Miss Lan Xue. Lan Xue seemed to like this title quite a bit.

"Yes, but I'm not interested in eating."

"A habit of observation? It's amazing."

"Of course." Lan Xue shook her short tail slightly and smiled lightly.

"But then again... did this ship come here..." Wu Shao wiped the sweat left from his forehead, and looked around at the sunlight that was shot through the hole and the light emitted by the little goblin At the same time, the cabin was illuminated, "I remember seeing this ship coming when I was helping to repair the dock not long ago, and then I heard that it was wrecked at sea, but I didn't expect it to come here..."

"No... This is what Xiaogu found." Yimi finally took her hand away from my mouth, and I told Wu Shao the truth.

"Is that so...I always feel that no matter how unbelievable things come to you, it's a matter of course..." Wu Shao turned his head and looked at Xiao Gu, "Then sister Xiao Gu, did you see any survivors in this ship before?" ...or other living beings?"

"No!" Little Gu raised a hand and shouted loudly.

"That's right..." Wu Shao retracted his gaze, and continued to repair the holes in the ship's wall with the planks that Lan Xue and I cut.

These planks were scraped from broken wooden boxes and various places.

According to Wu Shao, the deputy team leader acquiesced in her coming here, and kept other human explorations away from this area as much as possible.Then they may return without success... After all, Wu Shao also said that their purpose of coming here is to defeat Calamity and retrieve Yimi, but both Calamity and Yimi are here.

But this is also a good thing for me, I am not ready to meet other humans, and I don't really want Yimi to meet those humans.

Although I can't tell the reason, but... I just don't want Yimi to leave me too far.

For many days after that, Wu Shao came to us to help us make simple repairs to the ship.

After all, the hammer and nails and the weird tools on the boat can only be used by Wu Spoon, and we can only do simple help.

"First let me say that I am not a professional... I just did some simple treatment when the house at home leaked. If it is raining, I will not take the blame if the boat leaks..." This is Wu Shao the original words.

"It's okay, if there is any leak at that time, you can just plug it with the dance spoon." These are Yimi's original words.

"..." Then I saw Wu Shao's expression of wanting to cry.

Wu Shao repaired some holes on the top deck of the entire ship and the walls of the ship. Lan Xue carried her and flew up to repair the places that were out of reach, and Xiao Gu, who was slowly learning to use his hands, and I Pass her the tools and materials.

"By the way, Your Highness Yimi, do you know how to light the fire on the boat?"

"do not know."

"Use this... to have sex!"

While Wu Shao was talking, he pulled out a metal plate covered with smoke from the pile of sundries. After brushing off the dust on the surface of the metal plate with his hands, it revealed that it was burnt by the flames and turned into various white and gray colors. , brown, brown distorted marks on the surface.

"how to use?"

"Sister Hei and Miss Lanxue went to find some soil, and Sister Xiaogu went to find water, and finally assembled in the room we cleared."

"I always feel that I don't understand what I'm doing anymore..." Lan Xue just said this while covering her face, but she still went out with me.

So after Lan Xue and I came back with the soil in our hands, Xiao Gu came back with a round water polo... The water, which was drilled through a crack, became extremely flexible in Xiao Gu's hands, like a living thing It can move freely and can be fixed into various shapes.

"So, how is this going to be done?" Yimi asked curiously.

"Like this..." Wu Shao put the mud that Lan Xue and I found on the wooden floor, then mixed the mud with water and spread it evenly, then placed the metal plate on top of the mud , "In this way, you can start a fire on that metal plate. The soil is mainly used for heat insulation. This will be much safer and will not burn the floor."

"Not bad." Yimi praised with a smile, "You really know a lot about Wu Shao."

"Where..." Wu Shao scratched his head embarrassingly, "Just because we cook like this on the boat, I thought there should be one on this boat, but luckily the metal plate was not lost... ..."

"It's amazing..." This is what I thought.

"It's amazing!" This was Xiao Gu's thought.

"You humans have too many bad ideas..." This was Lan Xue's thought.

"After all, rainy days will cool down. If you want to live here, let's not talk about other things, at least you have to light a fire to keep warm..."

Thus, Wu Shao's words were quickly verified.

————————————————————————————————————————

The sky today is no longer as blue as it used to be. The gray clouds seem to have lowered to the sea level. The wind after another keeps taking away my body temperature. It looks like it will rain today.

So I bid farewell to His Royal Highness Yimi and the others and returned to the camp. Although I could shelter from the rain with His Royal Highness Yimi and the others, I told everyone except Liyue that I was exploring in the west. If it rains, I will not return to the camp. I can't justify it.

The camp was already busy. Some moved stones to reinforce the corners of the tent, some circled around the tent to check whether the fixed ropes and ground nails were firm, and some began to put tarpaulins on the tent. A group of people were in the camp In a hurry, I also hurriedly joined the team.

Finally, we got into the tent before the big cold raindrops drowned us, listening to the dense noise of the raindrops hitting the tarpaulin on the top of the tent, and the strong wind blowing the tent to vibrate and whirr , although some wind still leaked in, but he was still slightly relieved.

however--

A female adventurer who lived with me hurriedly bypassed the boat boards and living tools in the tent, ran to the edge of the tent and squatted down to check the situation, and shouted: "The tent is flooded!"

Hearing this, the eldest sister hurriedly put down the scimitar in her hand, gently opened a corner of the curtain on the tent to look outside, gritted her teeth and said loudly: "The gutter is full! It didn't work, it must be Didn't dig well!"

A drainage ditch was dug around the tent to prevent the rainwater from directly flooding the tent when it rained, but now...

"Then what should we do now! The place where the water enters cannot be blocked!"

I also hurriedly checked around and found that there were more than one place where the water had entered. The water intruding from the outside soaked the soil on the ground and stirred up the yellowish muddy water.

"Put on a raincoat! Come with me outside to dig the drainage ditch!" The eldest sister neatly grabbed the raincoat hanging on the wall of the tent, then quickly squatted down and pulled out a shovel from under the bed that had begun to flood. He took off his shoes and threw them aside, tore off the stuck door curtain, and rushed into the rain curtain.

"Ahhhhh why did this happen to me! It's so annoying, I don't want to make myself unhappy in such bad weather!" After the female adventurer yelled, she still held her hand like the eldest sister. The equipment rushed out.

I glanced at Li Le who took out the book and looked around without saying a word: "You stay in the tent, I'm going out too!"

As I said that, I also put on my musty raincoat, grabbed the shovel and rushed into the rain curtain, turned around and glued the curtain of the tent.

A magical barrier covering the entire country filters out most of the rain, and only the amount suitable for growing crops can fall into the towns and cities.

So, I seem to be facing such a heavy rain for the first time.The overwhelming rain curtain dyed the whole world gray, the strong wind pulled the raindrops into slender slashes, and the icy rain hit the face from the place where the hood of the raincoat couldn't block it, and it was icy cold one after another.

The three of us desperately used shovels to dig out the rain and soil accumulated in the gutter and threw it aside, and then expanded the gutter leading to the lower place.

In this kind of heavy rain, the effect of the raincoat can hardly be felt. In addition, I am still making large movements, and the close-fitting clothes will soon be soaked.

"The rain is as big as the crotch!" The mercenary man who sat and chatted with me by the campfire that day also put on a raincoat, and while cursing, he tore off the rain cloth on the tent with his hands. , it seems they are leaking rain from the top of the tent because there is something wrong with the tarpaulin and the tent.

"Usually don't spend more time on inspections! It will be like this at critical moments! Learn a lesson!" Even at this time, the rain curtain covering the sky can't hide the voice of the team leader. He grabbed a corner of a tent with his hands, and then used a rope to grab back the nails that were about to fly out of the soil. The rainwater wet his clothes along his body, but he didn't move. any hesitation.

The tent that was about to be blown away by the strong wind because the ground nails were not secured was not the leader’s place. He seemed to be helping those people, and I seemed to be able to vaguely see the leader’s smile through the rain.

Ah...is this the so-called calmness...

But some people's tents have been blown away...the shower tent has been completely collapsed, buckets and tools are rolled all over the floor.

I always feel that now I have no time to care about others. I can only numbly wave the shovel held by my cold hand to deal with the seemingly endless water in the gutter.

The next moment, the rain seemed to be less, and the body seemed to be much warmer.

I shook off the rainwater that was dripping from my forehead, and looked around.

Li Le hugged the book in his arms, raised one hand and pointed to the sky, a small magical barrier emitting radiance appeared above our heads, blocking most of the rain and wind.

And in the pupils of her eyes under the hood, the golden light burned like a torch.

For a moment, I was stunned.

"Don't move?" Li Le's soft voice pulled me back to the reality of the raging storm, and I hurriedly waved the shovel to drain the water.

"Didn't I let you stay in the tent? Leave this kind of thing to us." I lowered my head and looked at the muddy water all over the ground and the pits smashed by raindrops.

"I can help too. I know more than just academic research."

"All right……"

I don't know what's going on with His Royal Highness Yimi and the others...

————————————————————————————————————————

"Xiao Gu, there seems to be a water leak over there." I looked at the raindrops drifting in from the unsealed part of the bulkhead, and motioned to Xiao Gu, who waved his hand lightly, and the raindrops that had already entered flowed back in this way. up.

Lan Xue waved her hand expressionlessly, and a light blue ice crystal blocked the small gap.

In the fairly sealed dark room, there was only the fire in front of him and the fire light from the goblin.

"Ah...it seems to be much warmer than in the cave." Yimi put her hand next to the fire lit on the metal plate, and the flickering light of the fire reflected on her smiling face, "I knew it would be so convenient to eat green apples." I also moved here with the potatoes, and now I have something to eat."

I looked around and heard the dull sound of dense raindrops hitting the ship's wall. It was indeed the right choice to choose this room in the middle of the whole ship as a resting place.

"Ah... now I feel that the wood is much more comfortable than the stone floor..." Yimi caressed the wooden floor with her hands, with a relaxed expression on her face, "Why don't you just live here from now on..."

"Okay, as long as you like Yimi."

"You guys are so reliable!" Yimi smiled and stretched out two hands to touch the heads of the three of us. Little Gu and I didn't respond, and Yimi caressed casually, but Lan Xue was She tilted to one side, avoiding Yimi's hand.

"Don't touch my head casually, human."

"It's really not cute." Yimi chuckled and turned to caressing the heads of the two of us. Xiaogu, who closed his eyes, spit out a bubble from his throat, which reflected colorful light in the firelight, and then quickly cracked.

I also feel Yimi's hand, which is still familiar and gentle.

"Ah... I have to thank Wu Shao too, but I don't know how she is doing now..."
