As a good father, Huang Chengyan, who loves Huang Yueying, naturally knows about wooden cattle and horses.

When Huang Yueying was very young, a person named Ma Gong came to Xiangyang City, this is the person of the Ma family in Qingzhou, the Ma family is known as the world's first craftsman family, and everyone in the world knows about the organs, at that time Ma Gong also came to the Huang family as a guest, Huang Yueying was only two years old at this time, Ma Gong cut out a wooden frog and gave it to Huang Yueying, this wooden frog that will jump and jump became Huang Yueying's favorite toy before the age of six.

Why do you say before the age of six? Because after the age of six, Huang Yueying was able to make her own wooden frog, which even Huang Chengyan was surprised, you must know that it all depends on Huang Yueying's self-study, because the Ma family's organ learning will not be passed on to outsiders.

When Huang Yueying was eight years old, one day she came back from playing outside, and told Huang Chengyan that she wanted to build a kind of wooden ox and Trojan horse that could run, it turned out that because Huang Yueying went to the street this time, the Huang family's carriage collided with an ox cart, and the cattle and horses were injured at the same time, and they couldn't work, so Huang Yueying wanted to create a kind of cow and horse that could not be injured, and she would not be afraid to rush in the future, Huang Chengyan didn't care at the time.

But since then, Huang Chengyan found that his girl seemed to be a different person, Huang Chengyan's collection of books had been read by her, and Huang Chengyan went to find ancient books, especially books on the study of organs, so to be precise, Huang Yueying began to formally and systematically study institutions at the age of eight.

Four years later, when Huang Yueying was twelve years old, she made the first wooden cow, this wooden cow is indeed like a cow, no different from ordinary cows, but they are all wooden, and the wooden cow has a total of 8,888 machines in its body, which is so exquisite that Huang Chengyan is dumbfounded.

Although Huang Chengyan felt that this kind of wooden cow might not be able to be made even if the people of the Ma family took action in person, Huang Yueying was not satisfied, the wooden cow she envisioned was the kind of wooden cow that could run on its own, but the current wooden cow could not run on its own. In addition, the movement is stiff, and the internal bracket will be damaged if it is dragged by a person for dozens of feet.

This year, Huang Yueying studied harder, dabbling in magic, astronomy, geography and other knowledge. In the following years, the wooden ox was improved several times, and the wooden cow began to use iron for its internal machinery.

At the age of fifteen, Huang Yueying made the fourth wooden cow, at this time, in addition to the wood outside, almost all of the wooden cows in the body are made of iron brackets and gears, the number of brackets increased to 9,999, weighing more than 3,000 catties, but unfortunately this wooden ox is too heavy, and it can't even walk. Huang Yueying thought about reducing the weight, so she made another flowing horse, which weighed more than 2,000 catties, and it still couldn't work.

For the wooden ox and flowing horse, although they can't run, Huang Chengyan still sees their importance, warns his daughter, and sues Huang Yueying. If the wooden ox and horse are really made, then it must be kept secret. Because Huang Chengyan was worried that this kind of thing would be taken by some careerists and used in the war, Huang Yueying dismantled the wooden cow and the flowing horse, but she never forgot about it, but kept thinking about it.

Hearing his daughter say that he could make a wooden ox flowing horse, Huang Chengyan knew that what his daughter said was that he could be sure that he could make the wooden ox flowing horse run automatically. That's why Huang Chengyan is so shaken.

Xu Shu had never heard of the name of the wooden ox and flowing horse, so he didn't know how strange this thing was, even in the 21st century, it was a puzzle that many craftsmen couldn't guess.

Seeing Huang Yueying offering a treasure and wanting to show her wooden ox and flowing horse to Xu Shu, Huang Chengyan could only sigh with emotion. However, Huang Chengyan really likes Xu Shu very much, since this is the case, then it will be a daughter, but the origin of Shan Fu

"This Shan Fu has a strange temperament, he must have been in the army before, and he is quite powerful in the army, his guards Shan San is a barbarian, and the mount is a white elephant, and the South Yue border is inseparable, but it must not be a yellow turban thief, what other forces are there in the South Yue border? Wait for me to test it," Huang Chengyan said secretly

The water in the forest is finally slowly receding, which means that the flood season of the Mekong is almost over.

For more than ten days in a row, Lin Bei had to bear the food of more than 10,000 people, and he felt that the pressure was great, and the bison herd on the mountain was almost captured by him.

Zhang Cheng had to send sergeants to the bottom of the mine every day to have a look, and when the river was only about one meter, Lin Bei instructed everyone to set nets to catch fish, and take a boat to the Mekong River every day, protected by Lin Bei, every time there was a harvest, and a certain amount of Cheng dù was also regarded as alleviating the food crisis, Liao was better than nothing.

In late August, the flood season, which lasted for nearly 20 days, finally passed, and all the water in the forest receded and returned to the river.

"My lord, the river has finally receded." In the morning, Zhang Cheng came to report to Lin Bei.

"It's okay to retreat." Lin Bei sighed, almost twenty days, the time was beyond Lin Bei's expectations, and the rivers without dams and reservoirs were estimated to be like this, "Can I return to Linjiang City now?" ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head: "My lord, I'm afraid it's not right at this time, although the water has receded now, the forest is full of silt, nearly a foot thick, I will send a sergeant to explore the road first, why don't you set off tomorrow?" ”

"Then I'll go too." Lin Bei didn't want to stay in the mine anymore.

Lin Bei was going, and that achievement had to stay in the mine, so Lin Bei took five hundred soldiers and headed towards the forest.

At first glance, the forest is covered with silt, and there are many puddles between the silt, and the water in these puddles cannot flow away, and if the puddles are large, they cannot evaporate, and it is easy to form a swampy area.

Lin Bei walked to the front, his body crawled into the mud, and he immediately fell in, enveloping half of Lin Bei's body, so that it became difficult to walk.

"Be careful, everyone, and follow me." Lin Bei turned back to the sergeant and said that Lin Bei and the sergeants' task this time is to explore and open the way, and the exploration is to see where there is a swampy area, so as not to trap the people behind.

Lin Bei was in front, the sergeants followed behind, using hoes and thick branches to get the mud away, five hundred sergeants stayed in the mountain for nearly half a month, all of them were full of energy, and they were already a little panicked, so they worked very hard.

Just a few steps, a few meters in front of the mud suddenly jumped out of a fish, nearly 20 centimeters long, and then desperately wanted to drill into the mud, several sergeants were overjoyed, like a wolf and a tiger pounced, grabbed the fish, and finally finally caught the fish.

This is a catfish, presumably a small giant catfish, but it did not follow the river after the river receded, and when it was caught, it had to be reduced to a delicious meal for everyone at night.

"Are there any fish here?" The sergeants said happily.

"Look carefully at the mud, there should be fish." Lin Bei said loudly.

Subsequently, Lin Bei knew that they were here, not only were there fish in the mud, but also crabs, lobsters, cockroaches, loaches, forest frogs, it was like a big treasure pot, the fish were big and small, the big ones were close to the feet, the small ones were only a few centimeters, and the others were the same, and the sergeants also caught an old yellow cockroach nearly half a meter long.

It was less than five hundred meters, and the five hundred sergeants almost caught fish in their hands, and the harvest was quite rich, Lin Bei saw it, and immediately sent the sergeant back to the mine, and asked Zhang Cheng to call all the idle people, why are you calling? Catch fish, of course.

Soon, Zhang Cheng sent people, the number reached thousands, all with large basins or large buckets, some people were even more ruthless, carrying small boats, and throwing fish into the boat when they caught them.

This is the harvest time, the flood season brought a large number of fish to the river, the Mekong River in this era is extremely rich, otherwise it is impossible to raise the countless big fish in the river, the aquatic products left in the forest are estimated to account for only one percent of the entire Mekong River aquatic products, Rao is so, but also Lin Bei and the sergeants to the beauty, it is too much.

After catching fish for a day, Lin Bei and they only advanced forward for more than ten miles, that is, in the distance of more than ten miles, at night, they caught almost 100,000 catties of various aquatic products, so everyone naturally ate fish at night.

Lin Bei's food should naturally be the best, but Lin Bei only picked the catfish, and asked the staff to slaughter the catfish and then stab it and cook the soup in a large pot, except for putting a little salt, there were almost no other seasonings, but even so, this soup made Lin Bei eat so much that his tongue was about to swallow it.

Catfish are delicious and have very few spines, and for Mekong giant catfish, anything less than one meter is juvenile, so the meat is more tender, which is really delicious.

"My lord, this rising water turns out to have such benefits." Zhang Cheng also eats with Lin Bei, but Zhang Cheng is a small pot, and Lin Bei is a giant pot

Lin Bei smiled: "Yes, there are so many fish here alone, if you catch all the fish in the entire forest, wouldn't it be enough to eat for a year or two?" ”

Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "It seems to be true, then I will catch fish tomorrow?" ”

"Catch it, but you don't have to be deliberate, it's important to rush to Linjiang City."

Zhang Cheng nodded.

On the second day, although they were still catching fish, everyone consciously rushed to Linjiang City, which was not far from the mine, and arrived in the afternoon of the same day.

Linjiang City is now in ruins, only a few pillars remain, and everything else has been washed away by the water, bare, and the sergeant reported after patrolling around the area, saying that the boat tied to the tree is also gone, which Lin Bei had long expected.

At dinner in the evening, Zhang Cheng found Lin Bei: "My lord, now my Linjiang City is in ruins, and it will be rebuilt tomorrow?" ”

"What do you think?" Lin Bei asked Zhang Cheng and wanted to hear Zhang Cheng's opinion.

"My lord, if you want to rebuild Linjiang City, I don't think you need to build it carefully, this Mekong River is really terrible, compared to the typhoon and tsunami in Wanghai City last time, it is better to build some houses at will, and people can live in it, and when the river rises, you don't have to feel too distressed." Zhang Cheng replied.

Lin Bei smiled, what Zhang Cheng said was indeed quite reasonable.

Nowadays, there are no dams and reservoirs in the Mekong River, and when it comes to the flood season, it will start a violent posture, and no city can stop it, which is the reason, but if you just treat Linjiang City as a temporary camp, then Lin Bei is unwilling, because the channel of the Mekong River is too important, Lin Bei does not want to give up, and it must be built here, and it cannot be one. (To be continued......)
