Chapter 107 Another Rain

After watching the trolls for a while, Xiang En lay back in Andrea's arms, lowering his eyebrows in thought.

The trolls stayed in the town, probably not because they wanted revenge.

After this battle, the strength of the trolls is ten to one, and they should not take the risk of dying together to be hostile to them.

Even if the trolls really want revenge, it's impossible in the near future, at least this winter, they don't have to worry about it.

If they can win once, they can win the second time!

After digesting the spoils of this battle, their strength can be improved by at least several levels. Under the ebb and flow, even if the trolls want to make trouble in the future, Xiang En is sure to deal with it.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiang En didn't care about it. It's better to go to bed now, he is too tired.

In the afternoon, Markey knocked on the bedroom door to remind them that it was time for their rotation.

Then, Xiang En and the others got up, randomly summoned some bread for a few people to eat, went to rest when it was time to rest, and went to work when it was time to work.

A wooden board temporarily served as the door to the basement, and Xiang En took Andrea and Naka to the manor that was still covered by the corpse of the zombie bird.

The smell of dead bodies was blown by the wind, and it went straight into their noses. Even the cows in the cowshed were disgusted by this smell, and huddled in the corner of the cowshed.

Coming to the edge of the small lake, Xiang En checked the excavation progress of the big pit, and found that the big pit for cremation was only dug to a diameter of ten meters and a depth of three meters.

Without battery life, Markey and Duncan can spend a few hours digging such a big hole, which is already very good.

But such a pit is far from enough, they will continue to dig and expand the pit.

At least fifteen meters in diameter and eight meters in depth are needed to barely burn half of the corpses of the zombie birds.

The number of bird carcasses piled up in the manor is really exaggerated. At least two large pits with a width of 15 meters and a depth of 8 meters must be burned four times to burn them all.

They opened the battery life plug-in and dug until night before completing the first hole.

The work of burning the corpses needs to be completed as soon as possible, so Xiang En wakes up Markey and Duncan and asks them to cut trees together, implementing the truth that if you want to get rich, you must first cut down trees.

The others went to collect firewood, piled logs and debris on the bottom of the pit, made a layer of firewood, then a layer of corpses, and after the pile of corpses, another layer of firewood.

It's like a puff pastry, one layer of corpses, one layer of wood.

At night, Xiang En and the others laid out a large pit of corpses, including zombie birds and trolls.

After lighting the firewood, they went back to rest, and the work of guarding was handed over to the trap totems planted around the manor.

After knowing that trolls were about to appear, Xiang En was stockpiling trap totems. There were a lot of them in stock, so there was no need to worry about wasting them.

When they woke up the next day, they found that the body hadn't been completely burned, but it was almost there.

The trolls are still building huts and cowsheds, and some trolls are still clearing the fields and continuing to grow potatoes.

Xiang En told everyone about their situation, but told them not to be so nervous, just keep doing their business.

Even if they worked overtime to clean up the corpses, it took a full three days.

Although the corpses have been cleaned up, the blood-smelling dirt on the ground still needs to be cleaned up.

It took another two days to clean up the layer of blood-smelling mud in the manor, which was only possible with the help of the yaks.

Xiang En sacrificed his old handicraft, and made two ox carts and a few plows out of wood, allowing them to play a role other than growing meat.

After the manor was cleaned up, the originally beautiful garden turned into a large piece of mud, the stone slabs were basically broken, and some stone chips were left in the big house, and the large grass in the backyard was stripped and turned into an ugly mud.

After a few days, the surrounding temperature dropped again, and the weather became worse and worse, gloomy, reminiscent of the rain that changed the world.

Now when everyone looks up, they will think of the terrible experience they once had, and feel faintly uneasy.

This anxiety became a reality in just two days.

The sky with a hint of dark green between the gloom cast a layer of haze over the hearts of Xiang En and the others.

Xiang En looked back at the sky, adjusted the content of today's work, and pointed to a few people standing by the entrance of the basement, "Markey, Duncan, you two will pull a bullock cart to the river later, and bring a cart of loess back. I taught you before. Naka, you and Hogan continue to cut trees. Bourne went to the cowshed to get some wood for reinforcement."

After arranging the work, he released migratory birds to look at the situation of the trolls, and found that the trolls were a little indifferent to the dark clouds in the sky, as if they didn't care much about the coming rain.

Maybe they don't know what the rain will bring, so they don't have any sense of crisis?

After watching the trolls routinely, Xiang En refocused and began to waterproof the basement entrance and several small vents.

The simplest waterproof treatment is to directly block the door tightly, but this is too depressing.

Xiang En plans to build a hut-like hut at the entrance of the basement. Later, the basement will have to be expanded, the area will be enlarged, filled with wooden boards, and several rooms will be separated.

The wooden hut was built in half a day, and many materials were directly disassembled from those troll huts. The huts built by trolls are quite simple and durable.

After the hut was built, Xiang En took Andrea to dig drainage ditches in the manor. The rain might be heavy, and they needed to dig enough drainage ditches to drain the possible black rainwater to a suitable place.

The well in the manor was covered by Xiang En with wooden boards, and it will not be used for the time being.

After the simple canal was dug, Markey and Duncan came back with an oxcart of loess.

The loess will be in the cell in the basement to build a reservoir. Before Xiang En only knew that the soil could be fired into ceramics.

As for the specific material, he only remembered an ant nest, and it was only after many attempts that he figured out which kind of soil could be used as a building material.

When preparing to build a furnace, the troll came and interrupted his iron-making plan.

Winter is coming soon, and they can melt the iron into the shape they need in this winter.

The iron door of the cell was dismantled, and the space of the cell became much larger, about 40 square meters.

They only need to build a cistern of 20 square meters, and the remaining space is ready to be used to build a kitchen.

The middle of the reservoir was filled with wooden boards as a partition. It took only half a day to repair it, and the rest was to dry the soil with a charcoal basin.

By late at night, all the preparatory work that could be done had been basically done.

The sky outside was not too dark. If it followed the black rain last time, they still had three or four days to complete the preparations.

At night, after eating rat dinner, Xiang En and Andrea took a bath.

Lying on the bed at night, Andrea changed her usual foolish look, and looked stupid, as if she was thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?"

Taking the lead in turning back to the guest, he hugged Andrea and rubbed that gorgeous red hair intimately.

Andrea also put her arms around Xiang En's waist, and said sullenly: "I miss my family..."

The arrival of the second rain reminded her of her mood during the first rain, and then of her family members who were not around.

Father, mother, and second sister don't need to worry too much. The most worrying thing is the eldest sister Sharon who accepted the imperial conscript and went to a different place.

In the past, you could see your parents and relatives as long as you went home, but now you can’t see your parents even when you return home. Although they can’t see each other, there is an essential difference between the two.

The former doesn't make people think too much, because that's not the problem. The latter is like the separation between heaven and man, which makes people feel uncomfortable, even if they want to see it, it is impossible to see it.

Such a question makes people feel very irritated, and then Andrea gets up

what to do if I am sad?

Just do something else to distract yourself!

Although the body and spirit have accumulated a lot of fatigue due to hard work. They hadn't practiced for more than a month when they were underground.

By the time the two came out of the basement, the others had already started exercising and feeding the cattle by the way.

The sky was darker than yesterday, Xiang En raised his head, and what he saw was a dark green gloomy sky, with a strong wind blowing, and a familiar sour smell.

The clouds were moving, and perhaps somewhere else, it was already raining.

After feeling for a while, he arranged a task for Naka and the others to continue to cut down trees and store the wood underground.

Let Bourne and Hogan harvest some more tender grass and store it as food for a few yaks.

I checked the cistern in the cell and found that it had been baked dry. Although it was not very smooth, Xiang En had the spell to purify the liquid, so whether the water was dirty or not was no longer a big problem.

As long as it's not the water soaking in the corpse, there won't be any problems after purification.

Ask Maggie and Duncan to carry water together, and when the reservoir is full, Xiang En will purify the water, and then cover it with wooden boards to complete.

The water in the pool is enough for them to drink for a month or two, and even if it is very cold in winter, they don't have to leave the ground often.

But this winter must be better than the last winter, because Xiang En can use the fire element blessing, and can use this skill to achieve the effect of constant body temperature, so cold that he doesn't want to move at all will never happen again!

Routinely observing the neighbors of the trolls, Xiang En found that the trolls seemed to be using soil to make pottery, and they seemed to be very leisurely. They only made some basic preparations for the heavy rain that followed, and dug some drainage ditches.

After finishing observing the troll, Xiang En continued to do carpentry.

The things to be done have basically been done, and now they just need to wait quietly for the coming rainstorm to end and spend this year's winter.

In today's world, even the most worthless time passes extremely quickly.

Green clouds as thick as ink soon covered the entire sky. The next night, Xiang En and Andrea, who were practicing duel, were about to decide the winner, when suddenly a thunderbolt fell from the sky, which frightened Xiang En to lose his size.

After hastily finishing the sparring, Xiang En released the migratory birds and flew outside to check the situation.

The pure white body of the migratory bird stumbled under the interference of the rain. With the help of the shaking perspective, Xiang En saw the thunder that dyed the night sky dark green.

The strong wind blew the rain, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes even upwards.

The sound of clattering can be heard clearly underground.

Facing the wind and rain, the migratory birds flew towards the direction of the town with difficulty. Not long after, Xiang En saw the camp of the trolls.

The camp of the trolls was very lively. Some of the roofs of the huts built by the trolls were blown away by the strong wind, and the raindrops fell on the trolls, making strange screams.

They searched for materials in a panic, re-strengthened the roof, and even directly pressed the roof of the hut with trees to prevent rainwater from drifting into the house.

After watching for a while, the migratory birds were scattered by the black rain.

After seeing the horrors of the trolls, Xiang En didn't feel that they had the ability to sneak attack them. He couldn't protect himself, so how could he still be able to attack them.

In this way, Xiang En will sleep next to Andrea with peace of mind.

I slept until I woke up naturally. Although it was daytime outside, the rain still did not stop, and it was getting worse.

They can stay in the basement, but that was before, and now they have six more yaks to look after.

Bourne was already very familiar with taking care of yaks. After wrapping himself in animal skins, he left the basement and rushed to the cowshed.

Because he had predicted the coming of acid rain in advance, Xiang En had asked Bourn to strengthen the cowshed in advance to store fodder, and built a pool.

Bourne used to prepare forage for the yaks for a day, and returned after shoveling the excrement. The rain had little effect on the yaks.

During the rainy days, they lived very leisurely.

Xiangen saw that Naka and the others had nothing to do, so they reproduced the playing cards with wooden chips, and then taught them how to play landlords and bullfights.

Adventurers all have common hobbies, drinking and gambling, even Andrea is no exception.

In addition to reading novels and hand-to-hand combat, Andrea has another hobby of playing cards, and she is becoming more and more addicted to it.

Xiang En didn't have much interest in playing cards. When he really had nothing to do, he would bring a wooden barrel and ask Bourne to go to the cowshed with him to milk the cows.

After all, yaks are not dairy cows, and their milk supply is limited. They only got a little over a liter of milk in two days.

After it was boiled by Xiang En, it was divided. There was too little milk and no eggs, so it was impossible to make some cakes.

Five or six days after Naka and the others were addicted to playing cards, the rain outside finally stopped.

Under Xiang En's forced request, they reluctantly left the surface and went to see the world after the rain together.

This time the acid rain was much more serious than Xiang En expected. When they walked to the surface, the pungent sour smell in the air was stronger than what they remembered, and the accumulated water on the ground was also black.

Stepping on the muddy road, Xiang En first checked the condition of the cowshed and found that the yaks were all normal.

Afterwards, Xiang En went to the well again, and after opening the wooden board, a more intense sour smell hit his nostrils, making him dizzy, so he quickly covered the wooden board.

The underground well water was also polluted, and the people and animals in the world fell into a state of water shortage and food shortage again.

The pollution this time is more serious than last time. I don't know if the land will recover to a level where it can be planted after this winter.

If the land is completely polluted, they may not have such a good meal now.

The trolls next door who insist on being neighbors with them may also change their minds.
