Chapter 244: Bird Plague

The place where Lin Bei went ashore was a dense forest transit station.

Now it's bare, too, and some of the barracks made of wood have been washed away by the floods.

Coming out of the transit station, there was a passage in the middle of the silt, which had been re-cleared, very narrow and muddy, and the footprints in the passage were all deep and shallow, and it was obvious that the sergeants had a hard time passing through here.

Lin Bei is also very hard, the transfer station is about one hundred and twenty miles away from the Changshan Mountain Range, all of them are this kind of road, and when Lin Bei climbs out, his whole body is covered with mud, and then he is dried by the sun, just like a layer of mud armor, which is quite uncomfortable, and when he arrived at the outpost camp, the sergeants almost didn't recognize that it was Lin Beilai, because Lord Longshen was too wolf.

"Get me some water and rinse myself." Lin Bei commanded.

After a new look, Lin Bei just wanted to get back on the road, a steam car emitted black smoke and suddenly drove into the outpost camp, and the car compartment was written with the word 'patrol'.

This is a patrol car, and there should have been a car carrying coal, but because the flood sealed the forest, the coal truck did not come, otherwise the outpost camp is even more lively, and dozens of steam cars can be seen every day.

The task of the sergeant in the patrol car is very simple, that is, to drive back and forth between Wanghai City and the outpost camp in a steam car, to protect and help the common people in the farmland next to the road, and at the same time, because the road is built on the seaside, so you can see the situation in the sea, and if there is anything unusual in the sea, you can also find it quickly.

The sergeant replenished some drinking water in the outpost camp, stayed only for a quarter of an hour, and then drove back to Wanghai City, Lin Bei and the patrol car started at the same time, and soon overtook it, leaving the patrol car far behind.

In Linjiang City. Linbei has encountered more than 20 days of flood season, but on the side of the Changshan Mountain Range, the sun is shining, and it has only rained a few times in the past 20 days, just embellishment.

When Wanghai City was less than a hundred miles away, the farmland became more abundant. Lin Bei found that he had not come back for more than 20 days, the rice in the terraced fields was almost ripe, and a huge scarecrow was erected in the rice field to drive away the seabirds, the sea breeze blew, and the rice ears on the rice swayed gently, sending a fresh fragrance, which was very intoxicating, and the various fruit trees planted in the gap between the rice fields. The bananas on the banana trees also look like they're ready to eat.

Lin Bei ran all the way, and did not let the common people who worked in the fields come to pay homage, leaving a lot of words: The speed of the adults is really fast.

Entering the forty-mile range of Wanghai City, both sides of the road have almost become fruit trees, although the mango and coconut have been picked, but the leaves are still green, among which the coconut will still bear fruit this year, and the mango needs to wait until next year. And Lin Bei really determined that the banana was indeed almost ripe, but Lin Bei could find it. Birds can also find that some bananas with yellowish skin have traces of bird pecking.

There were still more than ten miles away from Wanghai City, and Lin Bei saw Cui Lan in a wooden shed at the edge of the field, and Lin Bei stopped.

Cui Lan was eating, so she didn't notice Lin Bei until Lin Bei made a noise. Cui Lan turned her head, and when she saw Lin Bei, she subconsciously wanted to hide the things in her hand behind her, just like the student who was caught by the teacher, Lin Bei smiled and said, "Am I so terrible?" What to eat? ”

"Cucumber." Cui Lan Dao. shook it in front of Lin Bei, "Do you want to come here?" ”

Cucumbers are cucumbers, but also courgettes, all the vegetable fields around here are cultivated, cultivated a little earlier, many fruit trees have not been moved to the time to reclaim, Lin Bei was surprised: "Cucumbers can also be eaten?" You're pretty beautiful, hiding here and stealing vegetables. ”

Cui Lan stopped doing it: "My lord, what is this stealing, I am eating brightly." ”

Now the cucumbers are small, like the cucumbers of later generations, there is definitely no pollution, verdant and verdant, it looks delicious, but unfortunately Lin Bei can't eat it, this thing has to bite with his teeth, in addition to cucumbers, in fact, there are far more vegetables in this era than Lin Bei imagined, like the seasoning vegetables that Lin Bei knows such as green onions, ginger, garlic, leek flowers, which are already quite complete, edible and fried, such as cucumbers, turnips, kohlrabi, celery, water cabbage, water cabbage, gourds are a bit like winter melons, The taste Lin Bei has not tried, and there are spinach and cabbage, as long as you are willing to grow, vegetables are available all year round.

Without worrying about whether Cui Lan was stealing or eating brightly, Lin Bei asked, "Why are you here?" Isn't it supposed to have fun in the sea with your blackhead? How have these twenty or so days been? Have any dolphins been tamed? ”

After Lin Bei can speak, there are often some modern people's habits of speaking, and the people around Lin Bei are almost used to it, and they can ignore it.

As soon as she mentioned this, Cui Lan's face became resentful: "My lord, Cui Lan told my adult some time ago."

Lin Bei remembered, Cui Lan said some time ago that she didn't like to go to sea with a black head every day to play with dolphins, she liked to fight more, Lin Bei also said let her wait, but Lin Bei said that he would forget, at this time Cui Lan mentioned it, Lin Bei looked up to the sky and said haha: "Did you say it?" By the way, I remember that I have something to look back at the sea right away, so let's do it first."

After speaking, Lin Bei ran away directly, and Cui Lan didn't let Lin Bei turn back even after shouting several adults, so that Cui Lan could only pull her hair.

"Girls' families, how good it is to play with animal friends like dolphins, you have to fight and kill," Lin Bei muttered, completely forgetting that Cui Lan's appearance had a lot to do with him.

At the gate of Wanghai City, this is still a place where craftsmen gather, as soon as Lin Bei appeared, the craftsmen knew about it, and they rushed up, and talked to Lin Bei about the recent situation during this time, such as the improvement of the steam engine and the improvement of the carriage, whether he understood it or not, Lin Bei responded one by one.

"Leave the other things aside, and talk to me about them when you have time." Lin Beidao: "Is the cement I asked the sergeants to pass back now out of the company?" ”

Hearing Lin Bei talk about cement, a craftsman said: "My lord, the cement zuò has come out, but the cement is not very strong, and it can't even compare with the tamped clay." ”

These craftsmen still make the mistake of yesterday's craftsmen in Linjiang City, that is, they are not mixed with sediment.

An Zhongzhi, the place where the cement is made, picked a place casually, just by the sea, Lin Bei rushed over, the cement was not made much, it should be that the craftsmen felt that it was not very strong. That's why I'm a little lazy.

Lin Bei ordered people to dig up the sediment, and then did the same according to the method tested in Linjiang City, and saw that the cement slab made could not even be hammered, and the craftsmen were immediately convinced.

"My lord, if this kind of cement is used to build the city wall, it will be really solid." In this era, it was common to use the city walls as the standard. Therefore, the craftsman and Zhang Cheng thought about the same, that is, they both felt that the city wall made of this kind of cement must be strong.

"Well, the city wall needs to be repaired, but the road also needs to be repaired, what about loyalty? Where? ”

After shouting several times, An Zhongzhi hurriedly arrived, he was in the city just now, and he came from the moment he got the news.

"Your Excellency, you're back." An Zhong ran straight and sweated all over: "My lord." This cement can't do it, my lord," he rushed over, and didn't see the test just now.

"Pavilion Master, we are all wrong, it turns out that this cement needs to be mixed with sediment, and it is as strong as steel after drying, which is really a strange thing."

"Really?" An Zhongzhi was overjoyed, "I'll just say, how can something that adults come up with be useless." It turned out that we couldn't use it."

"It's over." Lin Beida laughed and said, this An Zhongzhi is getting better and better at sycophancy: "Zhongzhi." I have taught the craftsmen how to use cement, and now I hope that Haicheng will make more cement, and I am ready to use this cement to build roads. ”

"Use it as adults say." An Zhongzhi didn't say anything.

"Well, then you can arrange this, the focus of Wanghai City for a period of time in the future is to make this cement, the more the merrier."

"No."

Wait until An Zhongzhi finishes arranging. Lin Bei and An Zhongzhi set off together to look back at the sea, and saw An Zhongzhi running back and forth, his face was full of sweat, Lin Bei said with concern: "Zhongzhi, you can't do this." Can the body eat? ”

"My lord, the villain's body is still tough, thank you for your concern."

"Do you still have a bike?"

"Not many have been built now, and there are only more than 500 vehicles in the city." An Zhongzhi came casually.

"Only more than 500 vehicles? Well, make some more bicycles and give them to you and some people in charge for transportation. ”

An Zhongzhi is indeed very hard, Wanghai City is now getting bigger and bigger, he runs around every day, if there is no means of transportation, it is both time and tiring, with a bicycle can be regarded as enjoying the privilege, although this privilege seems a little frustrated.

"Thank you for the kindness." An Zhongzhi said with great joy.

Without Lin Bei's order, An Zhongzhi really didn't dare to do this, and he didn't dare to find someone to carry him in a sedan chair, because even Lin Bei didn't enjoy this kind of treatment, how could An Zhongzhi have the courage? Originally, An Zhongzhi could ride a horse, but unfortunately he couldn't ride well, so the bicycle was a good choice, and it could also be used as exercise.

Lin Bei nodded, and asked again, "What about the master?" ”

"Yesterday, the master went to the city to inspect the people's reading, and he was a little tired, so he didn't go out today."

"Then let's go directly to the master's house."

While walking, An Zhongzhi reported to Lin Bei the progress of Wanghai City in the past 20 days, which was good, but An Zhongzhi talked about one thing, that is, seabirds.

It turned out that during this time, as the maturity of the rice was approaching, there were more and more seabirds near Wanghai City, and the staff of the guard towers on several islands also reported the situation, and they saw many groups of seabirds flying towards Wanghai City.

Didn't Lin Bei see many scarecrows in the rice fields on the way back? It was made during this time, but because there were too many seabirds, even if there was a scarecrow, An Zhongzhi didn't think it was safe, and in addition, there were many seabirds on the banana tree to peck at it, which made An Zhongzhi very annoying.

This matter is quite troublesome, even if it is guarded by a special person, the scope of Wanghai City is not big, it is not small, the seabirds are flying everywhere, but people will definitely not be able to outrun the birds.

"How many seabirds are there?"

"There are a lot, a few days ago, several large flocks flew in, overwhelming, there are many seabirds, even people are not afraid, and the bananas are estimated to be unsafe." An Zhong said with a sad face. (To be continued......)
