Chapter 133 There are sentries!
"Master, this time it seems we've gained even more."
After seeing the eight warehouses, Zi Yi felt an unreal sense of happiness.
We were busy fighting to the death a while ago, and although we got enough food for more than ten days, it was still not enough to get through the winter.
Although he didn't say it, he was always worried about the life and death of his people and the food problem for the winter.
But after this battle, both problems were solved at once!
"Yeah, it seems like we can just wait for winter?"
Zi'an also fiddled with the bear ears on his head, looking somewhat helpless.
The saintess lowered her head and then looked up at them.
"But these things don't need iron gates, do they?"
Is she still struggling with this?
Li Mosi glanced at Hagi Saint and looked at Zi Yi: "Let the goblins rest for a bit and we'll move the stuff back."
This will keep you very busy.
It would take almost two days to travel from the tribe to here without rest, and three to four days to rest normally, so a round trip would take six to eight days.
These things are enough to carry over into winter.
The old man glanced at the other slaves, took a few steps forward, and approached Li Mosi to speak.
"Sir, the outpost is now empty, you can stay here directly."
Several other slaves in the distance raised their heads slightly, offering words of encouragement.
Zi Yi frowned; he felt this was more convenient.
But something just doesn't feel right.
Unsure of what to do, he chose to ask his former teacher directly.
"Master, is this alright?"
"That won't do."
Li Mosi shook her head.
"This is a large flat area, which is difficult to defend in case of any incident. Moreover, the surrounding trees have been heavily logged, the fields are almost unusable, and prey is scarce. Most importantly, the slope where the tribe lives is sheltered from the wind and receives more sunlight, resulting in much less snow accumulation in winter. It's easier to get through the winter."
This land needs time to recover.
In every respect, it is not as good as the tribe.
The land in the tribe has been improved and restored to its fertility, and the ecology has been gradually recovering over time, thanks to large areas of forest and natural springs.
There is no comparison between the two sides at all.
After these few days, he had already discovered that the tribe's location was a good place that was sheltered from the wind and faced the sun, and it was less likely to accumulate snow in winter.
If you want to spend the winter, a tribe is a better option.
"Hmm? Doesn't that place in the tribe get blown around by the wind?"
Zi'an scratched the bear's ears.
She didn't really understand, but it was true that the place was bathed in sunlight.
The saintess feigned sudden realization: "Oh, very good. So that's how it's calculated."
She suddenly matched the maps she had memorized with the information about the various towns!
But Li Mosi didn't know what she suddenly realized.
Seeing that they had made up their minds, the old man added, "Sir, there is actually a pasture in that direction with many donkeys, as well as some pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, and geese. Carts that are not currently in use are also parked there."
Is this for real?
Li Moss looked at him and asked, "Do you know how to drive?"
Seeing his unwavering resolve, the old man sighed inwardly.
He nodded: "Sir, I will."
"What else is there to say? Ziyi, tell the goblins to keep watch, and let them sleep here for a while. Later, take everything back in the oxcart and donkey cart. Let's go check out the pasture."
"Yes, Master!"
……
Rumble rumble...
Two more nights have passed.
crunch--
"Stop! Sir! It's time to apply the black oil!"
Upon hearing the old man's shouts, Zi Yi and Li Mosi quickly gave the order.
"Stop! Take a break!"
With commands issued simultaneously in both languages, the convoy came to a stop.
"Wow!"
"Take a break."
"I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when we leave."
"Snoring~ Snoring—"
The goblins rested against the cart and whatever was nearby, and those who were too tired fell asleep immediately.
Zi'an, sporting large dark circles under his eyes, looked up at the dimly lit sky, somewhat anxious.
"Old man, is this car even working? We're almost there and it's still stopping!"
She wanted to sleep too!
"alright."
Li Mosi, who also had dark circles under her eyes, interrupted her complaint.
"That's how this car works, otherwise why would you expect there to be a can of black oil hanging on the back of the car?"
popping.
Li Mosi felt a pat on her thigh.
He looked down and saw Zi Yi.
"Master, I'd like to take a nap too, just for a little while."
Li Mosi waved her hand: "You should rest. Look, this guy is asleep too."
As he spoke, he looked at Hagi Saint beside him.
"Hoo hoo~"
Even the usually quiet saintess was so tired that she started snoring.
There's nothing we can do about it.
They had only slept once since they visited the eight warehouses two days ago.
They slept until noon, and when they got up at noon, they prepared oxcarts and donkey carts to transport their goods back.
According to the old man, due to the emergency assembly before the battle, a large number of donkeys died from exhaustion, leaving only about fifty donkeys on the ranch, but there were still about forty vehicles of various kinds.
If it weren't for the five cows and eight packhorses similar to Shire horses on the ranch, we really wouldn't need so many vehicles.
With these, things will be much easier.
It only takes three or four trips to empty the slave-catching team's stronghold.
The reason why so many vehicles need to make three or four trips is that the slave-catching team's stronghold has more than just the supplies in the warehouse.
The various rooms contained metal tableware and oil lamps, the dungeons contained iron shackles and bars, and there were also iron nails or other tools in various places. Each family also had a considerable amount of food and wine stored up.
They're quite busy.
The first train was not carrying grain, but rather various high-value tools and processed timber.
They loaded the items onto the vehicle first, then filled the empty spaces with food.
After all, there are too many things to fit in the chief's cave alone.
Li Moss first needs to teach the goblins how to build a warehouse.
There are so many things to do.
Zi Yi and Haji Saint went to rest, while Li Mosi and Zi An watched as several new slaves oiled the axles.
In this era, there are no enclosed ball bearings like those from before the time travel, so to prevent wear and tear, they can only be manually brushed from time to time.
That's why all vehicles have a bucket hanging from the back, containing different types of lubricating oil.
As for the dark oil they are using now, it seems to be a mixture of animal fat and something else.
Li Mosi didn't quite understand.
Applying oil to bearings is a troublesome task, and to prevent waste, it inevitably takes some time.
About ten minutes later, the slaves finally hung the bucket back up.
Having completed one round of Darwin's Sleep Method, the group sets off again.
By the time they reached the foot of the southern mountain of the tribe, the sun had already risen above the horizon.
"Wow! The humans ran away!"
"I can't see it anymore!"
"What should we do? How should we tell the leader?"
"What kind of team is that?!"
Li Mosi could hear the goblins squeaking from afar, but she couldn't tell what they were saying.
He only saw a group of prisoners cutting down trees a few hundred meters away on the slope, and a dozen or so goblin warriors who had been left behind shouting and yelling about two hundred meters down the slope.
Zi Yi quickly shouted, "What are you trying to tell me?!"
"Wow! Chief!"
"The leader has returned!"
"The leader has returned with such a large force!"
The old one-eyed man with the spear thrower ran quickly to Zi Yi, with the clever boy following closely behind.
They were the main force of the overseers left behind by Li Moss.
The one-eyed old man led the team, while the clever young man was in charge of translation.
As for the humans, with four safety officers watching over them, this makeshift team was able to communicate to some extent.
"leader."
The one-eyed old man took a few breaths.
The clever boy next to him chimed in.
"The same giant donkey from before, someone else is riding that giant donkey again!"
Zi Yi tried to think hard.
He's a knight!
He quickly asked, "What's going on? How many people did you bring? Where are they?"
"That's right."
The old one-eyed man was the first to catch his breath.
"Just as dawn was breaking, we brought slaves to cut down trees, and a man riding that huge donkey came galloping from the foot of the northern mountain straight to the south. He clearly saw us! He even tried to approach! We threw stones at him and drove him away! We didn't manage to kill him!"
what? !
Zi Yi stared wide-eyed at Li Mosi.
"Master! A knight has arrived!"
"What knight?! Where? Where?"
Zi'an looked as if he had just woken up, startling everyone around him.
Li Mosi first opened the [Leshanshui] map and glanced at it, then waved her hand: "There is no danger for the time being. You take the caravan back to the tribe to drop off the things and get some rest."
"Ah, yes, Master."
Zi'an nodded blankly and led the convoy toward the mountainside.
As the convoy continued its journey, Li Mosi listened to Zi Yi recount the events that had transpired.
He was startled.
There are sentries!
