Wolf King

Chapter 294 Release the prisoners of war

"Huoyan... City?"

The forest elf warrior Kai stood on the bridge blankly, looking at the original Huoyan tribe standing not far away, now Huoyan City.

On this side of the river are endless farmland, and on the other side of the river are also large tracts of fields.The wind on the grassland is hot in May, and at the end of the undulating farmland like waves, there are buildings lined up in a row, as if there is no end in sight.

Kai is still very young, far from the age of memory loss, so after he confirmed that he came to the right place, he rubbed his eyes hard...

--How is this going!

The last time I was here, this place wasn't like this! !

Kai roared silently in his heart, and his handsome face became a little hideous... When he came last time, this place was at most a neater and larger village, and in the blink of an eye (less than ten years, the forest elves It is indeed the blink of an eye) These prairie people actually built a city bigger than Ananas? !

"Don't get in the way." Hailin kicked Kai away rudely, walked past Kai with a look of disgust, and walked to the front, "This bridge is not very wide, so it won't allow people to walk."

"Haileen! Why didn't you say that the Fire Department and the Fire City have become like this?!" Kai couldn't care less about getting angry, and patted his buttocks and chased down the bridge.

"What are you talking about? I come here every year, and I don't think it's changed much." Hailin said indifferently, "It's because you don't want to come, and you don't recognize it after so many years."

"you--"

A farm production team was pulling large and small agricultural machinery towards their own field of responsibility. When they saw a forest elf from a distance, the snow werewolf in the lead raised his hand and greeted enthusiastically: "Come on, hot Hailin!"

"Yes! I'm here again!" Hailin waved her hands with a smile.

This production team turned a corner and walked northwards. After a while, another production team came and greeted the forest elves who came here every year at this time: "Hi, Hailin!"

"Hey, are you busy?" Hailin waved vigorously.

After crossing the bridge and entering the Huoyan City Square, the forest elves who came to buy supplies encountered four or five production teams one after another. The Snow Werewolf in each team knew Hailin, and they even cordially invited Hailin went to their house to play...

Kai silently distanced himself from Helene, and looked at this good friend with a very vigilant look.

"Why, you don't think I'm a traitor to Ananas, do you?" Heilene knew more about this guy, squinting and said, "If you want to worry about it, why don't you think about 'reporting' Evelyn and you?" Elder Mei Li, my teacher. Evelyn spends at least ten months a year on the grassland, and just for that, Elder Mei Li elected her to take over the seat of the elders."

Among the elf warriors accompanying the team, some couldn't help but let out a puff.

Kai gave a fake cough, turned his head to look at the sky, and pretended nothing happened.

Not long after the forest elves' team entered the square, Snow Flower, who was in charge of the internal and external transfer of bulk goods, rushed over.

After Elder Gwendolyn abdicated, Evelyn obediently gave up the "right to buy".Elder Meili did not persuade her to continue to take over, and of course, she did not hold on to the business with the prairie people, but directly transferred it to the army, and asked General Kleist to arrange for someone to handle the goods—that is, just run away It's just running errands, Elder Mei Li dare not intervene in such a large business, let alone General Kleist.

They are all old acquaintances and there is no need to pay too much attention, Xue Hua directly took Kai and others to the warehouse area to "sweep the goods" without saying a word...

"Soy sauce is still the same. I have prepared 800 million catties for you, and 300 million catties for vinegar. Last year, you prepared [-] jars of sweet and sour tomato sauce, all of which are here. Doubanjiang is in the warehouse over there. After finishing the vermicelli, go to put on the sauce."

"The quality of this batch of fish floss is very good... huh? There is absolutely no rabbit meat mixed in. Rabbit meat is very difficult to fry into meat floss, okay? Who made up rumors?"

"Here is pork jerky that is vacuum-packed in thick plastic. As usual, if you return the packaging plastic, we can give you a 9.5% discount. You have to wash it and return it. Don't be like before, it will stink when you send it back! "

"The price of jerky has been going up, and the profit is too low. I didn't make it this year. This mutton strip is really good. We used a lot of spices to process it..."

Snow Flower led a group of forest elves to clear two rows of warehouses, and finally came to the cooked food processing workshop behind the warehouse area.

Xuehua confidently pushed the door of the workshop, and proudly pointed inside: "This year's diced rabbit is definitely better than previous years, because we have brothers and sisters this year, and the processing is very meticulous. The rabbit meat is deboned, even if it is Elderly people with bad teeth can eat it without any problem!"

Kay put his head on Helene's shoulder and looked inward, but he was stunned at just one glance.

In the deli processing workshop converted from two warehouses, next to several "production lines" made up of tables, there are bears in sleeved aprons and white cotton masks standing neatly, and they are processing rabbits quickly. Meat.

At the front end of one of the "production lines", a bear family took out a rabbit that had been peeled, gutted, and clawed from a large bamboo basket, and threw it on the chopping board. Then he swiped a few times and cut the rabbit into eight pieces of equal size; after finishing, the wide machete swept again, and pushed the chopped rabbit meat to the next person, and continued to take out the rabbit from the big basket.

The second person keeps two pieces for himself, and pushes the rest to the third person. The boning knife in his hand rotates flexibly to precisely pick out the bones and bone dregs from the meat, and then puts the finished meat on his body. In the next basket.

The third person is also only responsible for two yuan, and the rest is pushed to the fourth person...

It takes only a few minutes for a rabbit to become boneless good meat from head to tail, while the second rabbit has already processed more than half of it, and the third rabbit is also on the assembly line...

When the boned rabbit meat is filled with baskets, someone will come and take it away, and take it to the other side for soaking in water to wash, marinate with the ingredients, and cook in the pot... Different people are in charge of each link, and each bear has its own responsibility. You only need to be proficient in the steps you need to handle, and it is very smooth to do it; the elves stood at the door and "visited" for a short while, and saw a few large pots of cold spicy and spicy rabbit diced from the stove. The top end is down, poured into a clay pot to cool...

Kay: "...(oyan o)"

Kai turned to look at Xue Hua: "Fish floss, pork jerky, and mutton strips are all processed by the Xiong clan?!"

"Yeah, anyway, the technical content is not high. Break it down into different steps and let them practice for a few days to get started. Otherwise, how could this year's production be so much higher than last year?" Snow Flower said with a smile, "Not to mention, the bear clan also They are very talented chefs, only a little worse than our Snow Werewolves, and the cat clan is not as quick as them in this."

All forest elves: "..."

Hailin wiped off her sweat: "Since this is the case... we want as many cold-eating rabbits as we can."

The elves don't like spicy food very much, but selling it to the dwarf kingdom is also a blood profit...

"That won't work, I can only sell you half." Xue Hua smiled and waved her hand, "Half is more than last year, don't worry, someone has reserved the other half."

"Are you going to sell it to the Dark Iron Dwarves?" Hai Lin asked vigilantly.

"No, don't you sell them at the Black Iron Dwarves?" Snow Flower asked back.

"How much can you sell us?" Hailin immediately changed the subject.

Snow Flower readily took him to see the goods...

The weather is getting hotter, and the shelf life of cold-eating rabbits is also shortened. Due to the investment of the bear clan's labor force, the finance minister of Huoyan City, Snow Flower, who has produced too many cold-eating rabbits, is anxious to get rid of these things that won't last long. Hurry up and sell it...

It was stuffed with space props brought by the forest elf purchasing team, and both parties breathed a sigh of relief, and then entered the normal reception link, that is, serving food with big sticks~!

"It feels like your canteen will be expanded every time I come here." Sitting in the newly built canteen, Hai Lin patted the newly made tables and chairs and smiled.

"This is the last expansion. Next time we want to build, we will build a small food store like the one run by Ah Shu." Snow Flower said with a smile, "Everyone always comes to eat in one place. There is no place during peak hours, when there is no one. , So many empty dining halls are a waste.”

"You should also open a shop in our Ananas. You can always eat authentic hot and sour food when you are on duty at the port. It's terrible to miss it." Hai Lin half-jokingly.

"Ha, there is a chance." Xuehua slapped haha ​​to fool her... She can't just say that the Ananas floating population is not as large as the Elf Port and the Dungeon, and not everyone in the locals is willing to eat heavy flavors. After the store opened, it was difficult to earn back the transportation cost.

After enjoying a delicious meal carefully prepared by a serious chef, a group of elves came out of the cafeteria holding their stomachs... and saw a large group of cubs roaring past.

It's no exaggeration, when the orc cubs gather in a group, they really have the aura of a tsunami and drowning everything... Even Xue Hua took the initiative to stand against the wall and give up the road to these cubs.

Snow wolf cubs who run and bite each other, cat cubs that nimbly move around, gray dwarf cubs hugging tightly, goblin cubs sitting on the back of a centaur and riding on the shoulders of a tauren. cub... huh? !

"Tauren?!" Kai was startled, "The tauren also came to Huoyan City?"

"I didn't come, it's just that the school we opened also helped the tauren take care of the cubs." Xue Hua explained with a smile.

"School?!" Kai thought he heard it wrong.

"It's normal, don't you forest elves also have a place to concentrate on elf larva education?" Snow Flower said strangely, "I heard from Evelyn that you Anas also have a larva academy?"

Kay: "Uh..."

Can he say that in his impression, they still belong to the barbaric and backward prairie tribes that drink blood and have schools that are very weird...

Hai Lin stepped on Kai's toes with a blank expression, turned her head and stared fiercely at her.

Kai hurriedly withdrew his impolite expression.

At least a few hundred brats ran from north to south for a long time, and suddenly there were a few short screams, and the brats who had just ran past ran back in panic...

Elves: "??"

"stop!"

With a yell, the chaotic group of kids actually... obediently stopped.

Even the particularly skinny cubs of the Snow Wolf Clan stood obediently, not daring to move...

Kai felt that the voice just now was very familiar, so he took a look two steps forward, and sure enough—the devil cub who made him have a particularly complicated attitude towards the grassland tribe was striding over!

Xiao Yun walked to the front of the cub group with a blank expression, his majestic eyes swept across the cubs: "Who is the one who skipped class today?"

Immediately, several cat clan cubs looked at the same person in unison.

Moss, who tried to hide behind the calf's head but failed, raised her head stiffly, and smiled flatteringly at Xiao Yun.

"Hehe..." Xiao Yun pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and in the next moment, he rushed into the pile of cubs like a wolf, pulled out the moss with one hand, held it down on the spot, and pumped his butt, "Skipping class! Skipping class! Still agitating Let the others skip class together!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Aooooooooooow~~~~"

Behind the cub brigade, the calves showed shocked expressions one by one.

"Are we skipping class?!"

"Didn't you tell us to help with things?"

When Xiao Yun heard this, he lashed out even harder: "How dare you lie to people to skip class! Lie to people to skip class! Lie to people to skip class!!"

"Wow, wow, Ayun, I don't dare to be spicy~~"

To the forest elves who are stuck under the roadside wall: "..."Indifferent face.jpg.

Xiao Yun pulled the moss so hard that he cried, got up and pinched the first woolen skin under his arm, waved to the elves as a greeting, and then drove hundreds of cubs to the school direction to go.

The first public school was built in the north of the tribe, at the original warrior training ground. It consists of six rows of back-to-back buildings, with a total of [-] classrooms. It is a school for cubs during the day and a cram school for adults at night. .

The teachers of the cubs are the excellent students in the cram school...the headmaster is concurrently held by the Huoyan patriarch.

Xiao Yun drove these kids back to the classroom, turned around, and complained to Patriarch Huoyan dumbfoundingly: "Don't get too used to them, Patriarch Huoyan, especially Moss, if she dares to lead her classmates to hula la the school gate, you will Dare to catch her out of the crowd and slap her butt hard, beat her a few more times, do you think she is not honest?"

Patriarch Huoyan scratched his scalp in embarrassment: "Next time I will definitely stop her."

"It's not enough to stop it. If you want to fight, if you don't fight, Moss will have the ability to lead others to harm." Xiao Yunyu said earnestly, "This little bastard is so used to knowing the heights of the sky and the earth, he dares to cause any disaster, and if he doesn't pay close attention to education, it will be too late... "

Before Ruhua was born, Moss was the smallest cub in the tribe, and was spoiled to death by everyone for several years.Later, Moss joined Evelyn's magic application team to earn pocket money, and was used by Evelyn and the cat magicians. When Xiao Yun found out, this guy became a bully of cubs. Not even wool can hold her well.

It is also very skinny like a flower, and my mother's green grass from time to time "maternal love is like a mountain", without the direct education of parents, the moss is completely developing in the direction of destroying the world...

After painstakingly instilling the importance of "love like a mountain" to the Huoyan patriarch for a long time, Xiao Yun let him go until the Huoyan patriarch painfully promised that he would use the love of landslides to discipline these leather children...

Leaving the school with his forehead pressed, Xiao Yun headed for his original destination without stopping: the Bear Clan prisoner-of-war camp.

After half a year of training and transformation, nearly [-]% of the bear heads among the more than [-] bear prisoners of war have transformed into qualified industrial workers, working hard in various low-tech processing fields in Huoyan City. Consciously abide by the order, go to and from work on time every day.

The remaining Qianlaihao people are not so useful, either because they miss their hometown and relatives, so they are not motivated to work, or they are "non-violent and non-cooperative", and they are lazy without soldiers guarding them, or they have a lot of hatred for grassland tribes. He wanted to escape—the latter's attitude of resistance was especially fierce when the weather turned warm.

As soon as Xiao Yun entered the prisoner-of-war camp, Ah Yan, who was in charge of the custody, came up and complained: "I'm so bored, Ah Yun, I don't want to bring these unmotivated guys with me, can you let me do something else? Let me go Road repairs are fine, I don’t want to squat here anymore!”

"Huh? What do you mean, you look down on road repairs?" Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes.

"No, no, absolutely not, I mean I want to build roads, really." Ah Yan quickly defended.

"Hehe." Xiao Yun didn't bother with him, and walked in, "Okay, this time I'm here to solve this matter, you invite the three generals over, let's do this..."

Half an hour later, the White Bear General Wood with gauze wrapped around his arm, the Moon Bear General Bazel who was not injured but had shackles on his hands and feet, and the Black Bear General who was tied into rice dumplings were "invited" into the room one after another. In the vacated barracks.

Seeing Xiao Yun who was sitting on the kang looking at them, Wood's face darkened, Bazel and General Black Bear glared at them viciously, as if they wanted to eat Xiao Yun alive.

Ever since he found out that his clansmen and soldiers under his command were "bewitched" by these prairie people, and bought by the prairie people's little favors as if they were possessed, the three generals who were still living in decadence became increasingly irritable...

After the long winter passed, the three generals found out in horror and despair that more than half of the soldiers were docile and obedient to the prairie people, and were willing to work honestly and diligently for the prairie people without being imprisoned. They planned several riots one after another... ...and then, all failed.

The reason for the attempt was that one of his own people reported it.

When the sage Ayun entered the prisoner-of-war camp to check the progress of the work, General Black Bear rushed forward with a dozen of his cronies, trying to control him and threaten the prairie people, but he was spontaneously stopped by the nearby bears... At that time, General Black Bear The tone almost didn't come up, and he was so angry to death.

More and more soldiers were bewitched, and after they were arranged to leave the prisoner-of-war camp in batches and live among the prairie people, there were also "rebels" among the non-commissioned officers under General Black Bear...

After half a year, the three generals gradually realized that the "betrayal" of the clansmen was all due to the bewitchment of the sage Ayun. The hatred for the guarded soldiers was completely concentrated on Xiao Yun. Fart, the three generals may all be willing to do it...

Facing the hateful eyes of the three people, Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "Don't be so excited when you see me, you three, too much emotional ups and downs is not good for your health, we don't have the habit of abusing prisoners of war, if you get sick from anger, isn't it? They are blackmailing us."

General Black Bear took a deep breath, and words of greeting welled up on his tongue.

"You guys are not happy here, and we are very sorry. So, we plan to send some of you out of Huoyan City, so that you can go back to the Far East." Xiao Yun smiled.

General Heixiong choked on his own saliva, and the words of greeting failed.

"Let us go back?" Moon Bear General Bazel was full of disbelief.

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded, "Several clan members who are willing to go back with you can bring along, those who want to leave can take away all their property, and those who have not saved money, we will do it out of humanity Doctrine donates travel expenses."

The three generals stared at him firmly, even Bazel dared not speak casually, for fear that Xiao Yun was teasing them.

Xiao Yun didn't explain, and after explaining the "repatriation policy", he took out a notebook and asked the three generals to report the list of clansmen they wished to take away, and then asked Ah Yan and the others to ask them from one barracks to the other. bring it all...

Two days later.

The three generals and more than [-] Xiong tribe warriors were "sent out of the country" by a group of snow wolf tribe warriors, each carrying a change of clothes, bedding, and dry food, with more or less money bags hanging on their waists.After sending them out of the farm coverage area of ​​Huoyan City, the soldiers guarding them watched them go far away and still waved their hands, shouting farewell blessings such as "be careful all the way" and "pay attention to your body"...

General Black Bear turned his head step by step until he could no longer see those snow werewolves who were "sending off", and he still couldn't recover: "This, really let us go?"

The expression on Bazel's face was like a dream. He also turned around after walking for a while, and he was very confused and puzzled. He didn't understand why the prairie people who had imprisoned them for so long would let them go so readily...

Wood, who cherishes words like gold, breathed out lightly, and said in a deep voice: "In any case, we are free."

"That's right, we are free." General Black Bear collected himself, raised his arm and waved vigorously, "Let's go home!"

"Go home!" The bear warriors woke up and shouted in agreement.

Wood silently swept around the excited and cheering soldiers, moved his lips, but did not speak after all.

The Snow Werewolf sent them "intimately" to the route they traveled last year. Although winter and spring have passed, the bear heads who are good at identifying directions and remembering roads can still remember the road they have traveled. , happily follow the memory all the way east.

A week later.

When they came to the birch forest where they had suffered a big loss, Bazel and Wood were filled with emotion.This time, there were no cats squatting around them to play "bear fishing". After a rough inspection, the three generals decided to rest here for the night so that they could continue their journey tomorrow.

Dig out the fire barrier, collect firewood, light the fire with the matches given by the snow werewolf, set up an iron pot, throw the vermicelli given by the snow werewolf to cook, and add the refined salt, hot sauce, and seasonings given by the snow werewolf to it.

After a full meal of spicy sweet potato flour, the bear heads each took out the biscuits given by the Snow Werewolf from their backpacks, and slowly chewed them around the campfire - half a year was enough for them to develop a snack after dinner habit.

"Actually... these prairie people are not too bad." Bazel suddenly sighed, "If it's not...that's all."

Wood, who was sitting nearby, knew what Bazel hadn't said. If the snow wolves, the cats, or the Far East orcs, then it was not impossible for them to be friends with the bears.

After eating the biscuits, Wood silently licked his fingers. He couldn't be in the mood to lament the antagonism with the prairie people at this time like Bazel. Worried about confessing.

"Who?!" General Black Bear yelled violently, and suddenly grabbed the scimitar that was put aside and jumped up.

Wood & Bazel was a little slower, and immediately jumped up after reacting, looking vigilantly into the depths of the birch forest.

In the darkness, several bears wearing familiar scout outfits walked out slowly.

The three generals looked horrified, and the bear warriors around them also showed extremely shocked expressions.

This - the same race? !
