Chapter 231 Climbing Trees
The soldiers who were in charge of supervising the work of the slaves were overwhelmed when they heard about their rewards. The recruits scrambled to the side of the forest fire to choose a surname they liked.

The slaves looked at this group of excited gentlemen with resentment. If these people who were pressing on them were not happy, the hatred in their hearts would increase.

Soon the recruits all chose their surnames, and asked each other what the other recruits had chosen, and when they met those of the same form, they would brag about each other and praise each other for their vision.

Although the veterans' rewards have not yet been handed out, since the leader has already spoken, there is no possibility of taking them back. The veterans are also very excited when they think that they will soon have a dagger or dagger.

On this day, a relaxed atmosphere permeated the entire camp, and the soldiers even generously added two bowls of rice to the slaves' food.

The next day, Lin Huo sent six people to go in three directions to inform the other camps of the news.

East, Copper Mine.

Three days ago, after a difficult journey, Kong Yi finally escorted the slaves here. Nearly ten slaves died along the way, and those who survived to get here were all in good physical condition.

According to Wang Lang's instruction, Kong Yi set up the mining camp in the baobab forest.

The reason for choosing this place is precisely because the large baobab forest can not only provide abundant water sources, but also the thick tree trunk can be used as a house just by digging a hole, which greatly reduces the difficulty of building a camp.

In three days, Kong Yi commanded the slaves to dig twenty tree-hole houses. Of course, these tree-hole houses are not without slaves.

The miserable slaves had to dig their own cages themselves.

More than 40 slaves wielding shovels and copper pickaxes worked hard to dig the deep pit.

Today, the deep pit has been excavated nearly one meter deep, with an area of ​​about 30 square meters.

More than 40 slaves will be held in such a small space in the future. One can imagine how crowded it will be. After squatting down, people are next to each other, like a large can of sardines.

"Boss, are we going to live here for a long time?" a team member asked.

"I should stay here for a long time. According to the leader's intention, a village will be established here in the future, and I will probably be in charge here, so you must make this place well. It's not just for me, It's also for you to live more comfortably." Kong Yi leaned against a baobab tree, shaking his head and said to the team.

"This place is too remote. We don't have anything to eat. Apart from some meat and corn, we can't even eat fish. It would be great if there was a river." Another team member said with a sigh.

"Oh, isn't it? The damn weather is so hot, if this is in the tribe, it would be so comfortable to jump into the river comfortably." Recalling the river in the tribe, the team was full of emotion. Cozy.

"Don't complain, the leader attaches great importance to this matter, and there must be no mistakes. If I do well and the leader is satisfied with my performance, I will be satisfied with you as well." Kong Yi said slowly.

"Boss, these useless slaves work so slowly and have been digging a hole for so long. I think it's time to teach them a lesson."

"Forget it, there are not many slaves allocated to us. If they all die, we will have to do these jobs." Kong Yi said with a smile.

"It's still thoughtful of the total."

Two teams are complimenting each other.

"It's been so long since I've been here in this place, I haven't even seen a bigger beast. I've caught some Dou Bilong in so many days. It would be nice to have a few beasts to improve our food!" the team complained.

"It's good to have something to eat. If you want to eat, it's on the top. If you have the ability to pick them off, I will credit you." Kong Yi shook his head and said.

The team member was looking up at the baobab fruit that seemed to be strangely high on the treetop, and sighed, "Boss, the trunk is so bare, you can't climb it at all!"

"If you're not afraid, just stay there. With so much nonsense and such hot weather, it's better to take a nap." Kong Yi squinted his eyes and said.

At this moment, another member of the team looked at the tree trunk, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said to Kong Yi: "Boss, I have an idea, I can pick these fruits."

Kong Yi opened his eyes, looked at the team and said, "Oh! Tell me what you can do."

The team member said: "Boss, if we make a strong rope, tie the two ends of it together and put it on the tree trunk, we will move to the treetop bit by bit by this rope."

"It's interesting. I just have nothing to do. I will leave this matter to you. If you do it well, it will be your credit." Kong Yi said.

"Hey, Boss, just take a look, I'll definitely pick this fruit for you."

Just as the team finished speaking, they hurried to the side and called a few soldiers over, ordering them to collect weeds and weave straw ropes.

After more than an hour, a thick rope was made.

The team member ran over with the rope and said, "Master, the rope is ready, I'll try it now."

Kong nodded and said, "Okay, let's try this tree!"

The team is looping the rope around the tree trunk, taking a deep breath and lifting one foot to the tree trunk.

"Be careful, if it doesn't work, don't try it. Falling from such a height is no joke." Kong Yi warned.

"Don't worry, Boss, it's fine!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the other foot.

Seeing that they had slid down from the tree again, the team immediately became more confident, moving the rope a little bit and moving up slowly.

Although the speed is not fast, everyone saw that this method can really climb trees, and their faces were full of anticipation.

After ten minutes of careful climbing, I finally climbed to the top of the tree.

This team member was nimbly grasping the branch, turned over vigorously, and rode on the trunk. At this time, due to fatigue and tension, he was already sweating profusely.

After resting for a while, he waved his hand towards the ground and shouted: "Boss, you guys keep picking on the ground, and I'll pick the fruit right now."

"Got it, be careful!" Kong Yi raised his head and said.

Team Zheng nodded, carefully stood up on the branch, and picked all the fruits that could be reached.

Watching the strings of fruits fall to the ground, Kong Yi hastily asked people to collect them and pile them aside.

Seeing that everything that could be reached was picked clean, the team was carefully climbing down from the tree.

Seeing that he came down safely, Kong Yi patted his shoulder excitedly and said: "Shi Hu, well done, this time you have made meritorious service."
