HCB Chapter 125 Wooden Bridge
Chapter 125 Wooden Bridge
Speaking of this bridge, a simple wooden bridge can be built right away. The trees in this world are tall, and for this river that is more than ten meters wide, we only need to find trees more than ten meters long to cross it. Of course, if we want to build tall ships in the future, for the purpose of passage, this kind of wooden bridge directly on the river will not work. We will consider this in the next step. We will take it step by step. There are always more solutions than problems.
Chen Shiyue asked Yiyun to take her to the river to have a look, and Yinfeng followed behind.
Yiyun turned around and said, "Why are you following me here if you don't want to go to the construction site?" He felt a little unhappy that his and Yueyue's alone time was disturbed.
Yinfeng smiled and said, "Of course I'll go and see what new ideas Shiyue has."
When they came to the river, they unexpectedly found Liefeng standing on the other side of the river. He stood quietly on the raised embankment, looking at this side, his long hair fluttering, his expression indifferent, like a sculpture.
Next to Liefeng was Lie Bai, who was much thinner than him. Of course, this thinness was only relative to Liefeng.
One black and one white stood there without saying a word, and the expressions of the two orcs were similar.
Yinfeng saw Liefeng and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Lord Liefeng, you are still here. How long have you been standing here? What are you looking at?"
Liefeng's gaze first fell on Chen Shiyue, then darkened, then fell on Yiyun's body, and then fell on Yinfeng, and said lightly: "The river wind is blowing."
Yinfeng was stunned by Liefeng's answer and said, "Aren't you guys expanding the tent across the street? How can you, the city lord, be so idle?"
Lie Feng still said calmly: "The city lord does not need to do everything himself. He should consider how to grow and develop, such as the next transaction with Yaocheng."
Yinfeng smacked his lips, deep, too deep. He kept smiling as he said, "The trade is easy to negotiate, as long as Beifeng City has enough animal skins and meat or provides us with orc labor."
Liefeng said: "Those twenty orcs will be sent over before dark."
Yiyun's expression was also indifferent. He said, "I think you can prepare the next batch of orcs in advance. Not many, just another fifty. The Yaocheng settlement can be opened to you."
Liefeng’s expression almost couldn’t be suppressed. He frowned. Another fifty orcs?
Yiyun added: "We are building a better place to live than a tent, and we need to finish it before the winter. There are still nearly two full moons before the winter. If you want to learn, the sooner the orcs are sent over, the better. After all, building a house is not like setting up a tent. There are more things to prepare, and it won't be that fast." He didn't want the other side to have a harder time than them during the winter. Since Beifeng City has no shortage of orcs, then use the orcs' labor to exchange for development.
Liefeng looked at Yiyun, feeling unhappy, very unhappy, and was considering whether to fight with Yiyun again. But he changed his mind and decided to forget it. Now Yaocheng has surpassed their Beifeng City in many aspects, so he had to endure it in order to learn more and better things.
Building a house? It turned out that Yaocheng had been busy building a house recently. Building a house required so many stones and wood? He knew that Yaocheng had been constantly cutting down trees and fishing for stones from the river.
He did not doubt the benefits of houses. Since people in Yaocheng did not even want to live in tents, houses must be much better than tents. Thinking of this, his heart sank slightly. If he had not decisively led the North Wind Tribe to settle opposite Yaocheng, how big would the gap between the North Wind Tribe and Yaocheng be.
He smiled, which was rare for him, and said, "Northern Wind City is not short of orcs. I will consider what City Lord Yiyun said."
Yinfeng smiled and said, "Hurry up then, don't wait until we stay in the house during the cold season while you can only stay in the tent."
Yiyun stopped looking at the other side and lowered his head to ask his partner: "Yueyue, what do you want to do by the river?"
Chen Shiyue looked at the river and asked, "Ayun, take a look, which position is shorter from us to the opposite side?"
Yiyun looked around and said, "It should be there." He walked upstream with his partner.
Chen Shiyue looked at the other side and said, "Ayun, can the longest piece of wood be laid from our side to the other side?"
Use wood to pave to the other side?
Yiyun and Yinfeng looked at each other, and both orcs showed some shock. But when they thought about it, it was not impossible. The only ones who could block this river were the females. Orcs could wade back and forth, but it was a bit troublesome.
Yinfeng looked at Chen Shiyue and said, "Shiyue, are you coming to us for the convenience of the females in Beifeng City?"
Chen Shiyue nodded and said, "Yes, it will be more convenient to transport supplies this way."
Yinfeng smiled brilliantly and said, "It is indeed an excellent idea."
Liefeng and Liebai, who were on the opposite side, were some distance away, but they could still vaguely hear the conversation between the few people. Liebai looked at the beautiful female opposite in surprise, thinking: This female is not only very beautiful, but also very smart.
Lie Feng's heart was shocked, and his pupils shrank. Could this female be the smart beast he thought of? This was beyond his imagination. In his impression, females were weak and not very smart, and they always lived under the protection of orcs. One female had several orc partners, not only because the number of females was much smaller than that of orcs, but also because females were naturally delicate, and one orc could not take care of a female alone, especially in the cold season.
Yiyun let out a not-so-loud beast roar, and immediately a huge black python swam over from the river in the distance.
"Yunzi." Mo Chen's low voice came from the river.
Yiyun said, "Father Mochen, use your beast form to measure the width of the river and see if the trees in the forest are long enough to stretch from this side of the river to the other side."
Mo Chen's snake body was immediately placed horizontally, and the length of the river was actually shorter than Mo Chen's snake body.
Chen Shiyue's face was full of smiles. This ruler is good. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Father Mo Chen. Let's build a wooden bridge at this location."
Wooden bridge? The orcs memorized this word silently.
Mo Chen said, "I'll take a few orcs to the forest to chop down trees." He didn't have claws, so he couldn't chop down trees. As he spoke, he quickly swam ashore and headed into Yaocheng.
On the other side of the river, Lie Bai's pupils shrank. This big black python, in its beast form, was actually bigger than his, and looked a little stronger than him.
The bridge issue has been settled, and Chen Shiyue didn't want to stay any longer, so she asked Yiyun to take her back as she was busy.
Liefeng looked at the two males and one female leaving with an unpredictable expression.
After a day of sunshine, the moisture on the earth's surface is rapidly lost and gradually becomes dry.
In the evening, in the northern eastern valley, wisps of smoke floated above the valley. Yi Tian and three peacocks were barbecuing with branches. Not far away, Sheye Sheqi was sitting cross-legged on the ground watching. They were a little uncomfortable with the fire.
Zhi's little face was flushed, her mouth was grinning, and her clear and bright eyes were staring at the skewers of meat in her hand.
Sheye looked at his female cub, and a warm current flowed through his heart. It can be seen that since following Yitian, his female cub has been very happy.
Sheqi looked at her with relief, as long as A-mei was happy.
Yitian looked at Zhi gently, and said with a smile: "Zhi, it's time to turn it over, don't let it burn."
Zhi said "oh" and turned the page hurriedly.
Yi Tian looked at Zhi and thought: My little female is so cute.
Que Qiao looked at Yi Tian and Zhi with a constipated look on his face. Is this still the cool big black eagle beside the Lord of Yiyun City?
Quebai and Queshan watched calmly, taking care of the females. It always does good to learn more.
Yitian took the roasted meat skewers from the flames and said, "Zhi, do you want to eat the meat I roasted first?"
Zhi shook her head and said, "No, I want to eat what I baked myself."
Yitian stood up and shared the skewers with Sheye and Sheqi, saying, "Try it. Even though there's no salt, it's still better than raw meat."
Sheye shook his head and said, "You eat, we have already swallowed the prey." In order to recover quickly, he and Sheqi went hunting.
She Qi, who had never eaten cooked food, quickly took it and said, "Let me try it." He carefully bit off a piece of meat and immediately showed a surprised expression and said, "Dad, the barbecue is very delicious, you try it."
Only then did Sheye take the barbecue from Yitian's hand.
Que Qiao said: "We didn't bring any salt with us, so this is unsalted. It would be delicious if we put some salt on it."
