It was getting late and the sun was about to set.
"Gululu~"
"Sister, I'm so hungry."
Opening her eyes, Xina sat up from the bed holding her bulging belly, only to find that her sister had already been lying on the ground, still face down, with her nose flat.
"Yeah! Sister!"
Turning over from the bed, Xina helped Misha, who was about to faint from hunger, and shook her vigorously.
"You don't want to die, sister! Oh, sister, wake up quickly!"
Misha's eyes moved with difficulty, and Misha, who had a red mark on her forehead, opened her mouth.
"Stop, shake..., I'm...not dead yet..."
"Xina? Misha? Dad, I'm back! Open the door quickly~"
A man's familiar voice came from outside the door, making the two little girls jump up from the ground.
Misha pushed her sister away and opened the door bolt first. She stared at the sack behind Qi Ram, then her eyes lit up and a pure smile appeared on her face.
"Xina, Misha, are you obedient and staying in the house?"
Qi Ram rarely showed his dignity as a father, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face. Because he was holding the jar, he couldn't put his hands on his hips, and he couldn't be dignified.
Before the two little guys could respond to their father's question, the man happily closed the door, put down the water jar he was holding, and gave instructions.
"Dad is going to make something delicious for you, just be careful not to break the jar."
"I know~ (*2)"
Two little girls were kneeling on the dirt floor in a good baby position.
Looking at the tattered clothes of his good daughters and recalling again the linen clothes worn by those enthusiastic friends in the morning, the man's nose felt a little sore.
"Today daddy got two loaves of bread and a fish, which is enough for you two little guys. Tomorrow daddy can get the food back."
"Wow! Dad is so awesome!"
Seeing Xina cheering and kissing Ziram's dirty cheek, Misha hesitated and kissed the other side.
Looking at his daughters' adoring eyes, Qiram's eyes were a little sore and swollen. He felt that his injustice was not in vain at all, and no matter how much suffering he endured, it was worth it.
As long as he can make his two daughters live a good life, it doesn't matter if he is a cow or a horse. What's more, if he lives in the Emerald Territory, he may not have to be a cow or a horse...
"Actually, it's not that dad is great, it's that dad has met a truly good person."
Use a flint to light the hemp grass, and the branches in the pebbles will soon burn. Then place the earthen pot between the three pebbles. Just wait for the water to boil and put the pickled fish in, and you will have a perfect meal. Served hot.
"Good people? Are they the good people of Demacia? I remember my father said that he used to get food from the good people of Demacia."
Hina opened her eyes wide and looked at her father who seemed to have changed.
Thinking back to the Demacian soldiers who killed the old cripple that morning, Ziram shook his head sadly.
"The people in Demacia are not good people. Dad was wrong before."
"Then where did dad get so much food this time...where did he get it?"
Misha asked following her sister's words. She was also very curious. Before, it was a small piece of black bread, but today it was two pieces of black bread and a fish. The difference was too big.
One thing she didn't say was that she suspected her father had stolen the food.
"The people from Jade Collar gave it to Dad. Dad helped the people from Jade Collier to build a house. They gave Dad food and asked Dad to bring the food back to you two little guys. It's equivalent to Dad doing the work of one person. I took food from three people, and they were all good people.”
"Emerald collar? What is that? Is it a gem?"
Chiram was stunned, looking at the innocent Xina, and nodded subconsciously.
"Yes, the Emerald Collar is a green gem. It is the hope of Dad, Misha and Hina."
Misha heard other meanings.
"Then, Dad, who is the owner of this gem in the Emerald Ring?"
"Jade collar's...master?"
Thinking back on everything he had experienced during the day, because he was too focused on food and investigating the reasons for the Emerald Territory, Ziram found that he had forgotten the name of the Emerald Territory master that the Noxians and others had said. The man was distressed. The ground scratched his messy head, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.
Taking advantage of others without remembering their names is too unethical.
"Haha, they didn't tell me. Dad can ask Misha tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay~"
"Xina needs to know too!"
"Okay, Xina will know too~"
Knowing that the precocious eldest daughter was already thinking about the Emerald Lord, Qi Ram kept this matter in mind.
"Haha, the soup is hot and the fish is cooked. Don't be too anxious, otherwise you will burn your mouth. Eat the bread and drink the soup at the same time. Wait for it to dry..."
Seeing his two daughters with smiles and satisfaction on their faces, Chiram's face was also full of pride.
"Go early tomorrow, maybe you can come back early..."
…
The Emerald Territory has undergone earth-shaking changes under the new policy. Whether they are Demacia or Mombia, whether they are refugees or victims, their faces have a little more longing for life, putting aside their past identities. , began to try to identify themselves as citizens of the Emerald Territory.
The premise of self-motivation is that there is room for improvement. The fact is that as long as life can get better and better, no one will show their laziness unless most of the room for improvement has been lost.
The farmland and orchards in the north are managed in an orderly manner by the collar people. Counting the game in the northern mountains, the food output is enough to feed more than a thousand people. The current population of the Emerald Territory is less than 600, and the uniform distribution in Leicester Under the order, most people can live a good life with enough food.
Rows of wooden houses stood neatly in the west area, and the military camp also had a general framework. The Black Iron Guards and Shadow Crossbowmen had already entered it, laying down their weapons and building their future homes under the guidance of the masons.
There are also many more workshops in the south. With priority construction, two more blacksmith shops and crossbow workshops have been added. Under the constraints of qualified craftsmen, the weapon workshops have now reached the limit that the Emerald Territory can bear.
Regarding equipment manufacturing, Leicester appointed an old blacksmith named Christol. Under the leadership of the old blacksmith, more than a dozen blacksmiths formed the [War Workshop] and began to study casting techniques.
The blacksmiths also led dozens of young apprentices who were willing to learn casting skills, allowing the apprentices to start their iron smelting careers, and taught the blacksmith apprentices to practice casting some simple farm tools.
Near the foot of the Shining Silver Mountains, Leicester sent people to take over the mines left by the Mombians. Copper, iron ore and tin ores were discovered in the mines. Most importantly, further south of the mines, There are large amounts of silver ore deep in the mining area.
This result made Leicester sigh. The land in Emerald Territory is indeed a geomantic treasure, but he doesn't know why it will become barren in the future.
Everything is developing prosperously, and a pregnant woman has given birth to a new life. The Emerald Collar has shown a unique vitality and atmosphere, giving the residents of the Emerald Collar a greater sense of belonging to this beautiful and fertile land. , and naturally felt a strong sense of gratitude and admiration for Leicester, who brought all this.
Opening his eyes from the empty bed, Lester decided to take a day off for himself.
