Steampunk City [Infrastructure]

Salmon was going to hold a frog at home to hatch its eggs, but was stopped by Luo Xi.

One is that in order to reach the temperature at which the eggs hatch, the fireplace is burning, and it is too stuffy to stay indoors.

The second is that a member of the Tongque Ancient Clan who was patrolling just now came to inform that people from West Pole and Southern Border had brought their children.

These people basically waited for the places they were promised to learn characters yesterday before dawn.

The members of the ancient Tongque clan said that Shutao was collecting their tuition fees, and Luo Zhan was not in a hurry. The ultimate purpose of teaching them characters was for negotiation, and the negotiation had to take the initiative.

It was almost noon when Luo Zhan walked towards the city square.

Shutao was still counting the tuition fees there. Luo Zhan looked at the meat that was delivered, and they were all the best. It is estimated that these foreigners are eager to use the best meat as tuition fees. If there is a problem with this, they will be cancelled. It would be a pity for the number of places.

Luo Zhan took the salmon and stood on the corona in the middle of the city square.

Today, Luo Zhan's clothes are a bit weird, he is wearing a knitted sweater inside, an animal skin robe outside, with the snake mother's eye pattern on his back, and his name "Ji" on his chest.

This robe is brand new, it was cut out by Luo Zhan when he was free. Now that the weather has started to warm up, it is estimated that he will have to take off the knitted sweater inside after a while.

The pocket at the back of the robe covered his head, only his eyes were exposed.

The salmon next to him is also dressed similarly, except that the word "fish" is shown on his chest with red wool.

Unlike Luo Zhan, Salmon also carried a big bow and a quiver filled with arrows.

The little one looks particularly eye-catching.

Anyway, Salmon thinks that he is the most handsome boy in this city now, and he walks with straight feet.

At this time, Shutao also came over with the foreigners and the children they sent.

Those children couldn't take their eyes off the salmon wearing the beautiful little robes on the corona and carrying strange bows and arrows.

Then look at the animal skin around his waist and the rough stone spear in his hand.

No matter how you look at it, this small child is so good-looking.

Salmon eyes are smiling.

At this time, Shutao said, "This is Luo Ji, the patriarch of the Li clan of the eleven clans in our City of Glory."

Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, Eleven Clans of Glory City?

Isn't this the place occupied by the top ten ancient tribes in the north?When did it become the Eleven Clan?

And this Li nationality, why have I never heard of it?

Even a slightly larger tribe does not have this name.

Everyone was really surprised, because looking at how the Huashu Ancient Clan grew peaches, it seemed that this Li Clan was still on the same status as the Ten Great Ancient Clans of the Northern Wilderness.

I really can't think of any tribe in the Northern Wilderness that can have such an ability.

If what Shu Tao said just now surprised these people, then what Shu Tao said next, they felt as if their brains had been struck by thunder.

"The ancestral characters of our city were all taught by the Li people, and your children will also be handed over to the Li people in the future."

hiss!

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Zhan. If at first they were somewhat indifferent because the Li people were not part of the Northern Desolate Ten Clans, then now they have no choice but to raise their spirits.

Taking a closer look, they found that the patriarch of the Li nationality was very different. They couldn't tell what was different, but it seemed that they were different from the people they had seen and known before.

But from the only pair of eyes exposed, it can be seen that the patriarch of the Li nationality should not be very old.

Luo Zhan was also looking at these people, as well as at the children with curious eyes.

The corners of his mouth could not help but rise, as long as these children are handed over, they will not be afraid that people from West Pole and Southern Border will not cooperate.

Luo Zhan looked at his new students and said, "Ancestor characters cannot be learned overnight. You will stay in this city for a long time and cannot go out. Are you ready?"

These children thought that they were testing their ability to endure hardships and stand hard work for a long time. They felt that learning the characters of their ancestors was an incomparably sacred thing, and naturally it was also difficult, so they raised their small heads, with an expression that they were not afraid of hardships or tiredness.

No matter how bitter they are, they can eat it.

There are so many children in the clan, why can they come?

It wasn't that they were beaten out of a bunch of children yesterday in order to compete for places. If you look closely, you can see the messy little wounds on their bodies.

Those who did not win are still rolling around outside the city.

So how could they give up before they started.

Besides, from the moment they entered the city, all they saw was the glory of their ancestors. Not to mention learning their ancestors' characters, they would have to stay in the city for a long time, even if they were allowed to live here for the rest of their lives, they would be willing.

Luo added, "If you cannot accept our conditions, you can withdraw now."

Everyone: "..."

quit?Are you kidding, that is the ancestral text.

Even the surprise on Shutao's face flashed across, is it necessary to ask this?Take them themselves as an example, if they get this opportunity, let alone quit, they have to stay in a shameless manner.

Luo Zhan glanced at it, and continued with a profound tone, "Remember your current choice, and no matter what difficulties or problems you encounter in the future, remember your current determination."

Everyone: "..."

Their determination is naturally unshakable by anything.

Luo Yan glanced at it. At this time, a group of children from the Xietong Ancient Clan came out carrying some things.

Luo Zhan said, "Come up and get your school supplies, one for each of you."

Those children are a little confused, what?

It was Luo Zhan who pointed to the child at the front and said, "Come forward."

Annunciations of good news and mourning were set up in front of a table.

Annunciation handed a washbasin to the child who came forward, which contained a set of small animal skin towels, toothbrushes and other toiletries.

The tuition fee charged by each person is indeed a bit high, so Luo Zhan is not stingy with this little thing.

The mourner next to the table took out a book stapled with thread from a box, took out a bronze pen, and then said to the foreign child who was holding a basin, "What's your name?"

The child replied, "Flying bird."

Baosang used the bronze pen he had prepared to write the word "Asuka" on the case of the book, and then handed over the book and the brand new pen, "This is your school supplies, don't throw them away after you put them away, they won't be reissued. "

"It's your name on the notebook, remember it, don't confuse it with other people's notebooks in the future."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, he continued, "Next."

Asuka carrying a basin, "..."

stupid!

One by one children are receiving school supplies.

And those adults who came to see off their children had their eyes narrowed.

The pattern written on the notebook is their child's name?

Those children were also at a loss looking at the books in the basin. Is this the ancestral writing?Representing the ancestral characters of their names?

It was the first time they saw and knew that their names could also be written in ancestral characters.

It was obviously a magical pattern, but at this time it actually possessed a kind of power, attracting them.

They didn't even dare to reach out to hold it, for fear of getting such a beautiful design dirty, so their names are so beautiful.

Of course, there were also some surprises. After some children reported their names, they scratched their heads when they reported their funerals, and he couldn't write more complicated words.

But it doesn't matter, he opened his voice and shouted to one side, "Brother Yuyu, I don't know how to write this word."

He also said to the children who signed up, "Your name is too remote, do you know that it is a remote word?"

Obviously he can't write it himself, but he still speaks with reason.

After the school supplies were distributed, it was quite strange to see a group of children holding pots who didn't know what they were doing.

Luo Zhan said, "Next, I will take you to the student dormitory."

Since these students are not allowed to leave the city during their studies, it is certain that these new students must be provided with a place to live.

It happened that a lot of dormitories were built for travelers before, and the second prize of the last lottery was rewarded. As a result, these ancient tribes did not aim at the second prize at all for the first prize. Performance, resulting in no check-in.

Just used as student dormitory.

The adults who delivered the children also followed.

Luo Zhan didn't stop him either. Let others send their children in for closed study, so they have to let the other party feel at ease.

Approaching the dormitory, this is the first time that these foreigners are so close to these buildings.

The exterior of the building is dark, and the pebbles on it are flat and smooth, like warm and large gemstones.

The moment you step on the floor under your feet, you can still feel a trace of ice, like a jade-like texture.

Announcing the good news and the news of the funeral have already come running over wearing two red sleeves. "We will be the administrators of the dormitory in the future. We will regularly check the cleanliness of the dormitory and other issues. Now students who read their names can enter your room by themselves."

"Asuka, dormitory 101."

Bird: "..."

Annunciation of good news and mourning: "..."

When he slapped his forehead, the other party seemed to be illiterate.

"Here, this is dormitory 101, and you will live in this room from now on." Luckily, the lively classmates started to help.

Asuka followed the enthusiastic classmate into room 101, and the adults of the same clan who came to see him off followed silently.

After entering, there is no sound anymore.

The flat ground inlaid with white pebbles, the walls of goose yellow pebbles.

Originally designed for travelers, it is different from a student dormitory. It is more like a small single room in a hotel.

There is a bed in the room, and there is a small closet in the corner, which can be used to store clothes and the like.

There is a window, and under the window is a writing desk.

Then there is a bathroom with a shower.

That's all for the things. Although the room is small, it has all internal organs.

but……

These new students used to live in a cave, and the stones on the walls could fall from time to time and hit the sleeping people.

If it weren't for the fear of embarrassment, they would have hugged the ground and stuck their faces on it.

Are they going to live here in the future?

I don't know why, but they felt that the person who didn't fight with them for the quota last night probably regretted it.

Of course, if they fight again, they will not lose, because they have seen something so beautiful, how could they let go of the quota.

And the adult who followed in: "..."

They even want to ask, why can't the quota be given to adults.

The building looks extremely beautiful from the outside, but after entering it, the surprise is even more indescribable.

This is a beauty that they could never have imagined before.

For a while, he was completely caught in a kind of illusion that couldn't extricate himself from reality.

In fact, it was the same with the previous Ten Northern Wilderness Clans. When they entered their small town room for the first time, they were even more surprised and exaggerated than these people.

Because it is a living environment that is impossible to imagine even in fantasy.

The students who came in broke the silence, "This room is too small."

"It's not as beautiful as our house."

"Our house has a big living room, big windows, lots of big rooms, and a fireplace..."

"Salmon's house is even more beautiful. He lives on the second floor, and he can see the castle of their Li nationality through the window. Salmon's room is very well lit, and writing on the desk under the window is very comfortable."

"The second floor of his house can go directly to the wall of their castle..."

The showing off that belongs to children is often the most real and undisguised. Perhaps in their hearts they are telling the truth rather than showing off.

Think this is the end?But that's just the beginning.

"New classmate, do you know how to use the bathroom?"

"Come, come, I'll teach you how to turn on the faucet. It's fun, but you can't keep playing. It's shameful to waste water."

"This is a sink. You can wash your face and brush your teeth on this beautiful table. Turn the switch and there will be water."

"This is a fluffy head for showers. When you twist it, it will automatically sprinkle water. It is very comfortable to stand under it to take a bath."

"..."

Watching the white water flow out by itself...

Leaving aside the issue of convenience, they even have trouble drinking water.

Finally, some new students couldn't help but ask, "We... can we really use it?"

Water is very precious, so the people in the Northern Wilderness let them use it so easily?

"The teacher just said that the tuition you pay includes the water fee, but you can't secretly use it for your clansmen. Although the water fee is included in your tuition fee, it is only for your own use."

Everyone: "..."

At first, they thought that they came to learn the characters of their ancestors to endure hardships and stand hard work.

But now, they feel different.

This happens in almost all dormitories.

And the new students, seeing that they stepped on the floor dirty because they entered, I don't know why they feel a little heartbroken, because this is where they will live in the future.

The room, which was originally clean and spotless, was actually dirty by themselves.

Only then did they discover the biggest difference between them and the children in this city.

Look at the children from the Northern Wilderness who were talking to them. Their animal skin skirts, well, I don’t know whether they should be called animal skin skirts or not. Apart from being pretty, they are extremely clean, and their hair is even a hair. One by one, they are like small furry animals, they want to be rubbed just looking at them.

And their hands and feet are so white that there is no dirt at all.

Unlike them, with mud all over their feet, of course it made the room dirty.

There is indeed a big gap between dirty wild children and a group of white and tender children.

In fact, Luo Zhan didn't teach them specifically, but these students liked to learn from Luo Zhan and Salmon the most. No, gradually they all became quite different from before.

It took a lot of time to arrange all the students.

Walking out of the dormitory, whether it is an adult or a child, is like a lifetime away.

The corners of Luo Ji's mouth turned upwards, why did these adults see this?

Because seeing, they are more reluctant to let their children lose.

If the people from the Eastern Territory really won this city, can they give such good things to them, the ancient tribes from the Outer Territory?

With Dongyu's code of conduct, it's impossible even if you think about it.

These people will naturally understand the truth. They can't grab it, but they still want to gain some glory, so they have to help Beihuang defend the city.

Luo Zhan coughed, waking everyone up from their unreal state.

He said to a group of adults, "This is where they will live in the future, and there is nothing to see. Now that the market is open, why don't you go and have a look?"

Everyone: "..."

What isn't there to see?

They think it's beautiful here.

Luo Zhan: "..."

He said directly, "I'm going to start teaching their ancestors characters."

Everyone: "..."

This is chasing people away.

They also saw the place where their children would live in the future. Not to mention the difficult conditions, it was a beautiful place that had never been seen before, so they were naturally satisfied.

Originally, because of paying so much tuition, although it is to learn the ancestor's script, it is worth it, but it hurts a lot.

But seeing the living environment here now, it seems that I don't feel so distressed anymore.

Luo Zhan finally said, "By the way, the building next to the dormitory is a place for eating, which provides a lot of food, whether you or students can eat, but you need to pay for the food, you'd better keep some money , that is, paper money for your children.”

"Of course, you can also bring your own food for your children every day, you don't have to force it."

Because the food specially made there uses their newly planted seasonings, plus manpower, the price is not cheap.

This is the public property of the city. Of course, if the residents of the city want to eat, they can naturally spend money to buy it.

In order not to let foreigners feel that they are taking advantage of them, they are also allowed to cook their own food for these students.

The adults started to leave, and before they left, they actually left some money for these children. After all, they came to study on behalf of their entire ancient clan, and in their opinion, there must be an indispensable supply.

The adults didn't leave the city, but went to the market. They are also very interested in visiting the market now. For some reason, they want to go shopping even if they don't buy anything.

The bazaar was even busier than the first day it opened. If it wasn't for the restriction on the number of people entering, it would have been possible to trample people.

The happiest people are the Ten Clans of the Northern Wilderness, because the busier the market, the better their business.

They have also begun to get used to having such a special and integrated place in the city.

Luo Zhan asked the children of the Northern Wilderness Ten Clans to take these new students to get used to the new environment first.

It was already afternoon when Luo Zhan came back.

And the new students have wet hair and clean hands and feet.

Luo Zhan: "..."

Yeah.

With a head of dirty hair like weeds, he does look like a savage.

Besides, not loving cleanliness is bad for your health.

Luo Zhan asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

The new classmate was still a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know what he remembered. He kept touching his chubby belly, and couldn't help saying, "I've eaten."

"Even your meat is too expensive."

"One banknote can barely eat two meals."

They also know that a piece of meat is a piece of paper money. Normally, they would have to eat a piece of meat for a long time.

But it was so delicious that they almost swallowed their own tongues.

How can the same meat be so delicious.

If it wasn't for the fact that their stomachs couldn't hold it, they could still eat it.

Luo Zhan smiled and didn't say anything. Anyway, the cafeteria is open, and no one is forced to eat in the cafeteria.

Luo Zhan said, "Do you want to eat something more delicious?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Luo Zhan didn't plan to teach them directly today, but to familiarize them with it.

Luo Zhan led the people and the original students into a group.

They are going to the road, to be precise, to the green belt beside the road.

Inside the green belt, the most obvious one is the female phase tree of the ancient Huashu tribe. There is such a strange tree with undefeated flowers every other distance, which is very beautiful.

Then there are some pepper trees and fruit trees that haven't grown up yet.

Because of the full fertility, in fact, it is almost waist-high, but it has not yet begun to bear fruit.

Ordinary fruit trees take two years to bear fruit.

The rest is the "green grass" under the fruit trees.

These "green grasses" were planted in the first spring, dotted in the green belt, well-behaved, and they looked very beautiful.

Moreover, rows of red fruits have been hung under the current "green grass".

As beautiful as a ruby.

Even the children in the Northern Wilderness are curious about what these are, because the Tongque ancient people who usually patrol do not let them play with these red fruits, and those female phase trees, they use branches to whip them whenever they get close.

Although the female phase trees have taken root in the ground, their essence is a conscious beast, which is still different from plants.

Salmon has the deepest understanding of this point, because once he saw the beautiful flowers on the tree, he wanted to climb up the tree to pinch the flowers, but he got a red stripe on his face.

At the beginning, when I ran back to complain tearfully, I was actually bullied by a tree, and I cried pitifully for a long time.

Luo Zhan usually told the people of the ancient Huashu tribe to let their female phase trees guard the "green grass" so that they would not be ruined by ignorant children.

Today I happened to see that the red fruits under these "green grasses" were almost ready, so I asked Shutao to release the order of their beast guards, so you won't be able to slap people if you get close to those branches today.

Luo Zhan picked a red fruit and put it in his mouth, his eyes narrowed.

People in the tribe seldom eat berries, because the berries in the dense forest have been eaten up by all kinds of wild animals and birds before they are ripe, and the berries that can be obtained are raw and astringent, not delicious at all.

It was also the first time for Luo Zhan to eat such ripe and sweet berries. For a while, the unique taste of the fruit and the wonderful sweetness occupied the whole soul.

Some even muttered to themselves, "Is this the taste of strawberries mentioned in the video? No wonder so many people like it."

Thinking of all kinds of fruits grown on the computer and those small fruit saplings in the green belt, Luo Zhan became even happier.

The salmon next to him scratched his head, "What is this?"

They usually just look at it, from the green fruit to the plump red fruit, they watch it grow almost every day, but they dare not approach it.

Luo Zhan picked another one and stuffed it into the salmon's mouth.

The salmon was taken aback for a moment, and then naturally kept poking its small mouth.

Oh my god, what does this taste like in your mouth?How can it be so delicious.

Then I looked at the red fruit under the "green grass" beside the road with bright eyes.

Because... a lot.

At the beginning, Luo Zhan considered what to plant in the green belt, because the road circled the entire city, and the green belt was too long.

Then Luo Zhan found strawberry seeds in the pile of seeds he got.

It is said that sesame seeds are small, but have you seen strawberry seeds?

It is almost like a grain of sand, so the number of Luo Zhan's large bag of seeds is simply uncountable.

Only such seeds can fill the green belt surrounding the entire city.

Luo Zhan said to the other students, "What are you doing in a daze? Pick such a big red strawberry to try the taste. Today our task is to pick all the ripe strawberries."

This task is not light, and it takes a long time.

When a group of students also learned to use their mouths to take a bite out of the large strawberries they picked, they were all stunned.

They usually secretly look at the beautiful red fruit, which is so delicious.

The eyes are happily crescent-shaped.

It is said that eating fruit can bring happiness, and it is estimated that it is now.

And those foreign students were immediately dumbfounded.

too delicious.

They ate the most delicious food in the world in that cafeteria just now, and now these berries called strawberries brought them a completely different and wonderful feeling, completely different from the bitter and inedible berries they remembered thing.

They have just entered the city, but they already feel that this is the holy land for the survival of the tribe.

Luo Zhan didn't ask them to come to eat the fruit. After all, these strawberry seedlings were transplanted into the green belt with all the hard work of all ethnic groups, and they can no longer be regarded as the product of Luo Zhan alone.

Luo Zhan let them join in, let them exchange their labor for strawberries.

Small baskets were sent out one by one, "Our task today is...to pick all the ripe strawberries."

Strawberries are ripe in batches, and it is estimated that they will have to pick them again in a few days.

Holding the small basket, I picked the big and ripe strawberries into the basket, and couldn't help it, so I ate another one.

Today is their happiest day.

It would be great if every day was this good.

Luo Zhan also enjoys this kind of life very much, picking strawberries and enjoying the sweetness of the fruits.

And those foreign students were a little embarrassed when they put strawberries in their mouths. Although the teacher said just now that they bought them with labor, it is okay to eat some, but they feel that they have taken advantage of it. It is so delicious. The berries are not something that can be exchanged if you want to.

So they cherish every one of them. Looking at the "Ruby" that took a bite, their eyes were bent with a smile, and they looked at the children around Beihuang. The children in Beihuang are too happy. The residents in this city are so happy.

Because, the Tongque ancient tribe patrolling in the sky is sending the picked strawberries door to door, and each family can get a big basket.

The life of the people in the city turned out to be like this, and they were so happy.

The residents who received the berries were still a little confused, and only listened to the humanity of the ancient Tongque tribe who flew over, "The strawberries grown by the Li nationality are ripe, let us send a basket to each family, you quickly take out the container, I have to return this basket." Send it back for them to continue picking."

The voice of speaking is sweet, because he also tasted it just now, it is so delicious.

Those green grass planted on the side of the road, which I thought were just regular and beautiful green grass, turned out to be able to bear such delicious berries.

Just now his family also sent a basket, and when he got back, he hugged it and ate it slowly. Just now, the little patriarch of the Li nationality said that the strawberries should be eaten as soon as possible after they are picked.

They didn't finish picking strawberries until dark, and all ethnic groups rushed over to help after finishing their day's work.

In the end, under the light of fireflies, every household got a big basket.

And those students, before returning to the dormitory, were also stopped by Luo Zhan, and each of them was given a portion of strawberries.

Back in the dormitory, open the window, look at the city illuminated by fireflies, and look at the gem-like strawberries on the desk.

Mingming was very young, but he couldn't help but say, "It's really nice here."

Completely different from their tribe.

Every family is in the same situation. Sitting together, biting a big strawberry with their mouths, their faces are full of happiness and satisfaction.

"At first, I thought that the little patriarch of the Li nationality was just getting some grass to make our road beautiful, but I didn't expect that these grasses could bear such good berries."

"The little patriarch of the Li nationality said that we have cultivated the green belt well, and we can often eat such berries in the future. This is just the first harvest."

Warm night, this is life.

And Luo Zhan was poking the salmon's forehead with his fingers, "If you eat so many strawberries, you won't even be able to eat."

The salmon was aggrieved, "But I just couldn't help eating it, and accidentally stretched my stomach."

When he left, he also held a large handful of strawberries, and he wanted to get up in the middle of the night to eat them.

Negative Xie also took away a large handful. The berries are beautiful and delicious, and there are still a lot of unripe ones in the green belt, so we should be able to share them again after a while.

Tonight is strawberry night.

Even people who come out for a walk talk about strawberries.

There is a kind of fruit in their city.

Luo Zhan glanced at the eggs covered in the basket, and added a lot of firewood to the fireplace. The ones he added were all the big ones, enough to burn all night.

Then he went up to the second floor, returned to the room, and brought a plate of strawberries in his hand.

There is no way, without a refrigerator, strawberries are easy to spoil, and he is going to work overtime to eat them.

In fact, apart from the distribution to each household, there are still some left over. Shutao has arranged to be sold at the market tomorrow, which should be a considerable income, after all, it is considered a rare commodity.

Luo Zhan closed the doors and windows, and turned on the computer.

Eating strawberries while watching TV is also very good.

Just looking at it, suddenly a penguin-like icon in the lower corner of the computer began to flicker.

The strawberries that Luo Zhan ate fell to the ground, because he saw the most impossible thing in this world.

I even thought of the sound effect prompt in my ear, "Ding, your network has been connected."

Luo Zhan: "..."

This is absolutely impossible!

Why?
