Chapter 37 Moving Stones

Early the next morning, Du Zhilian and Du Zhizhong, who were sleeping heavily, were woken up by the second brother's rude push.

Du Zhilian is a little worried, second brother and I are both fathers, can't you let me sleep a little longer?

Du Zhiyi looked at the two sleepy-eyed younger brothers, lowered his voice and said: "The third brother will go to work with me, the fourth child will look at Xiaoxi, and when she wakes up, take her to dinner, just inside the camp, don't run around!" ”

Du Zhizhong got the second brother's order, happily rolled on the warm quilt, and said with a smile: "Got it!" Elder brother! "That's great! I can stay in bed.

Du Zhilian put on his clothes and shoes and walked behind Du Zhiyi, and the two ran to the forest next to them and poured a urine bucket, and by the way, they soaked their brothers' urine together. When he returned to the door of the hut, he caught a glimpse of Du Zhizhong holding the quilt and falling asleep again, but Du Zhiyi didn't say anything. washed his face with the water in the wooden barrel at the door, and called Du Youyin, who was on the other side, to have breakfast together.

The camp is in charge of food, but the people who cook are the fireheads in the army, and the amount is sufficient, and the taste is average. Most of the people who come to repair the river are eaten in the camp three times a day, and they don't need money anyway.

Surrounded by mountains, it is easy for farmers to catch rabbits and chickens, and there are fish in the river. The guys also made it when they caught the game, but it was a whole one, and it must have been half-crippled when it was brought back. In order to eat two more bites, many people often make their own fires and make sacrifices.

The three of them walked all the way to the place where the rice was placed, and Du Zhiyi said some things to pay attention to, and by the way, he told his younger brother where to find wild fruits to eat and where to get fish fat.

The place where the rice was put was on the river, and the three gang leaders made steamed buns, porridge, and pickles.

The three of them lined up and walked forward slowly, and Du Zhilian saw that the few people who received the rice were all a big bowl of thick porridge, three big steamed buns, and half a bowl of pickles.

It was Du Zhiyi's turn to be three, and the three little soldiers grinned in unison, and actually greeted: "Brother Yi'er is good!" It's brothers! It's really long! ”

Du Zhiyi took the steamed bun and responded with a smile: "Brother Huang, this is my twin third brother, I will drag you to take care of it in the future!" Du Zhiyi thanked me here! ”

"Well said! Say! The three of them agreed in unison.

Du Zhiyi has a lot of strength, and the water is very good, and he rescued the Shangguan doll last time it fell into the water. This time it's even more incredible, it was spread all over the camp yesterday, Du Zhiyi's sister-in-law is the apprentice of Master Xile. A female doll can be taken in, which is much more difficult than a male doll. With such a strong sister, of course they are happy to make friends.

Du Zhilian was taken care of by the man's specific expression: porridge is comparable to rice, steamed buns are one more than others, pickles are also radishes, peppers and garlic are complete, and the three fireheads also beckoned him, 'Not enough to eat, come and scoop it again~~'

After eating, the three of them rowed a small boat and started to work. Only then did Du Zhilian know what the specific task of Xiu Dao was.

Move stones.

Just move the stones from the river to the shore.

The reason why no one has ever discovered the mountain waterway is that the place where the river flows has been divided into several streams by some hills many times, and it is gradually impossible to see that this is a very wide river.

What Du Zhilian and they have to do is to dig up these hills in the middle of the river, so that the whole big river can merge with the North-South Grand Canal in waves.

Moving mountains may seem easy, but it was definitely a big project for the ancients, who could only move one stone at a time.

Du Zhilian followed Du Zhiyi and Du Youyin on the small fishing boat, the nearby waters are very deep, and the bamboo pole that can usually be borrowed can not be inserted into it.

The river surface is dozens of meters wide and the water is long.

Du Zhiyi pointed to a few connected hills not far away, "Our task is to finish moving those mountains, and carry the stones onto the shore and transport them to other places." Two trips a day, more money. ”

After speaking, Du Zhiyi added: "It's not just our people from Shanshui County who move stones, there is another place that can't walk a hundred miles further, those people are prisoners sent from nearby, and there are people who escaped at night last year, you will be with the silver in the future, don't run around." ”

"Got it, brother!" Du Zhilian nodded again and again, he is not good at fighting!

The boat stopped when it rowed to the mountains that Du Zhiyi pointed out before, and Du Zhilian found that these mountains were very big. The trees on the mountain have long since been burned, and the bare stones are constantly washed by the river.

"This is the land of our Dujia Village, don't run around in the future, no one will stand up for you when you turn around and be beaten."

A village has a village territory, after all, a fool knows that the broken stones on the surface of the water are much easier to get than the stones under the water, and no one wants to hold their breath and dig stones under the water.

Du Zhiyi and Du Youyin worked together to tie the boat to a half-cut wooden stake, put on worn leather gloves and began to work.

Du Zhiyi first found a stick on the boat, knocked on the selected place for a while, and only relieved when he saw that nothing ran out.

"There are scorpions and snakes in this stone, don't be stupid and stupid, beware of the poison hidden in the cracks of the stone. But the snake meat on this mountain is fresh! "These mountains have been burned by a fire before, and the living creatures have long been burned to death, but these snakes and scorpions living in the water do not pick a place, and it was not long before they got into the cracks of the stones again, and they usually have to take precautions when they work.

Du Youyin also nodded again and again when he heard the snake meat, his righteous brother is very capable, he can catch snakes that are so difficult to catch, and he can roast them so fragrantly, he will enjoy eating them once, Brother Lian and Brother Yi are twins who will catch snakes if they want to, right?

Du Zhilian: You're definitely thinking too much!

The two threw the not too big stones into the barrels next to them, and the large ones were directly carried to the boat, and Du Zhilian also moved the stones when he saw it.

"Those who are soldiers don't look at how many catties of stuff you have in a boat, pick up large pieces of stuff, and put them almost there. See the red line on the boat? Our ship is going to cross that red line and it will be qualified. ”

It is said that one person has two boats a day, these boats are not standard, many of them are collected from fishermen, and they are of different sizes, and they can't always move two boats with a big palm, so the army has drawn a task line on each boat.

The speed of the three of them is still very fast, and they have already qualified in less than an hour.

Du Zhiyi sat directly on the stone this time and beckoned Du Zhilian, "Third child, you row the boat over, just a little to the right of the place where we just eat." ”

Du Zhilian swallowed his saliva and shouted in his heart: 'Brother! My brother can't do it! These are solid stones.

Du Zhilian spent a lot of effort, and finally with the help of Du Youyin, he finally rowed the boat to the shore.

When the boat docked, the soldiers on the shore came to answer it, and Du Zhiyi said hello and jumped on another boat with his younger brother.

The soldiers who responded were also moving stones, but they were much more difficult than those in Dujia Village. These soldiers were border soldiers who did not know water, so they had to pick up stones and send them to a nearby valley. The people of Shanshui County can still use the river to save effort, but these soldiers are really coolies. But fortunately, I heard that this place was moved by people, and many places directly found an unimportant river and poured it directly into it.

In the morning, after moving the stones three times, Shun led his younger brother to familiarize himself with the working environment, and Du Zhiyi stopped.

In March, the days are not very long, and it can take six or seven boats a day, except for the four boats requested by him and Du Youyin, the rest can be booked and receive silver.
