Chapter 145: Pinched a handful of sweat
Chen Chao saw that the time was almost up, so he walked into the cave. The cave that had been chattering and noisy, the moment he stepped in, only the crackling sound of a campfire burning.
It's like a homeroom teacher who suddenly appeared in a self-study class.
Chen Chao secretly laughed, walked to the middle of the crowd, and waved his big hand, "Sleep when you should sleep, go to vigil when you should keep vigil." ”
"Wow-" The whole cave was full of excitement again, and it was time to go to bed to find his own animal skin quilt and spread it on the ground. The person in charge of guarding the first wave of the night got up and walked to the vicinity of the cave entrance, and took a few pottery bowls with him by the way, and when his hands were too cold, he could serve a bowl of hot water to warm his hands and heart.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day everyone woke up early in the morning. Chen Chao took advantage of the others' preparation of breakfast to take Qu and Li Nong out to explore the road and find trees suitable for felling.
As soon as Chen Chao walked out of the cave, he saw a large number of people gathered on the other side of the river not far away.
Some are standing empty-handed, others are holding something in their hands. In addition to people, there are also many black pigs and flower pigs scattered around them.
The size is different, but the number is so large that Chen Chao is drooling here.
Of course, it's not all because I think of braised pork, white-cut meat, braised pork trotters, braised pork feet, and stewed pork feet with pig's ears.
More because of these domesticated domestic pigs, the breeding industry of the Tianyuan tribe can be in full swing.
The people on the other side also saw Chen Chao walking out of the cave, obviously bringing his clansmen to wait around early in the morning.
Otherwise, Chen Chao and the others came here yesterday, why didn't they see people from the Ring tribe coming here to herd pigs?
When this group of people saw Chen Chao and the others coming out, they all jumped up and jumped to say hello, and some of them were holding animal skins high and saying something loudly with "Ula Ula" in their mouths.
Maybe they were afraid that Chen Chao and they wouldn't understand, so they took out the river mending beast/fish artifact that they exchanged from them yesterday, and held it in the air and swayed and swayed.
Chen Chao looked at their excitement, just jumped up and waved his hand a few times, perfunctory them, and then took Qu and Li Nong into the forest behind them to find suitable wood.
And the group of people on the other side of the river saw that Chen Chao didn't know what he was carrying in his hands, and he was drilling in and out of the forest. They tried to say hello several more times, but they were obviously too busy to see their own group of people greeting.
After finding a few pieces of wood that looked tallest and marking them, Chen Chao returned to the cave with Qu and Li Nong.
At this time, the little old man and the others also prepared breakfast.
After having breakfast hastily, Chen Chao asked the little old man to stay in the cave with a few people from the Tianyuan tribe. He took all the rest of the people into the woods, half of them were responsible for cutting down trees, and half of them were responsible for carrying the logs one by one to the river.
After the first big tree was cut down, Chen Chao asked Qu and Li Nong to rest for a while, and explained whether to cut down the second tree or not, and waited for his news.
After explaining, Chen Chao took more than half of the people and began to move the big tree that was at least fifteen meters long to the river.
After moving the tree to the river, he looked at the team behind him and it seemed to be in good shape.
After all, the distance to carry wood is not very long, estimated to be less than a kilometer. And there are a lot of people who carry it together, and the weight spread evenly on each person is actually fine.
So Chen Chao asked loudly, "Are you tired?" ”
Then came the sparse answers of Cao Jia and Cao Yi and others, "Don't be tired!" ”
The state is okay, but the strength of this answer makes him not very satisfied. So Chen Chao asked in a louder voice, "Are you tired, louder?!" ”
"Not tired!" This time, the answer was almost a roar, with grass A and grass B being the loudest.
Chen Chao was satisfied this time.
But the people on the other side were not so satisfied, and this roar almost startled them!
Even the flower pig and the black pig they came subconsciously snorted twice.
They were puzzled by the strange behavior of these people, who were not hurrying forward to bypass the great river, and what were they doing here to move wood?
And can you pick up such a large piece of wood in the forest opposite?
But what's the use of them picking up such a big piece of wood? Do you want to burn it on a bonfire?
Or do you want to swim over with this log?
Can't you, swim over on such a cold day, don't die?
And the ice hasn't completely thawed yet, so even if they want to, they can't swim!
It's also to blame that they didn't come at the right time, if they came some time earlier, or some time later, wouldn't they be able to come over?!
I have to rush in these days, and I don't want to walk for a few more days to detour, isn't this a blind toss?
Like the tribes or 'caravans' that came to this vicinity in the past, they walked for a few more days to find a way to get around the river. At present, it seems that only this group of people who come is different, and they are messing around here!
Wait, it is estimated that I will toss for a day today, and I will continue to move forward tomorrow, and I will take a few days around the road like those people before~
Otherwise, they will be fooling around here, and they won't be able to get through it in the spring!
It's true that you can cross the river with a log, but it has to be summer!
The water is not cold in the summer, but what is it like in the winter?
Don't want to die?
And Chen Chao confirmed the status of Cao Jia and Cao Yi and the others, and then continued, "Wait a minute, I will shout 'one, two, one', and you will shout together, and we will find a way to push the wood to the other side of the river." ”
"Okay." There was another loud reply.
With everyone pushing the first half of the wood into the river, Chen Chao visually measured it, and the length should be enough.
But because it can only control one side, it is still straight at the moment, but if it is all pushed forward, then it may be possible. At that time, it is very likely that the whole log will lie horizontally on the surface of the river full of broken ice at an inclined angle, which will not match the simple wooden bridge you want.
"One-two———-one-push!" Chen Chao shouted the slogan while leading everyone to push forward carefully.
Once there is a collision of ice floe, the whole wood should be pushed to the other side, and it should not be pushed too forward at once, too far forward, the whole wood is easy to lose the center of gravity, directly tilt down.
"One, two, ——— one-" Cao Jia and Cao Yi chanted the slogan while following Chen Chao's voice, and at the same time carefully controlled the progress and direction of progress with his movements.
Chen Chao, who was standing at the front, felt that he was about to sweat on his forehead.
And on the other side of the river, although they can't understand what these strange people are doing, it doesn't prevent them from sweating.
When I saw that the wood on the other side was about to touch the other side, an accident happened!
I don't know where a strong wind blew the river, and even all the ice floe was squeezed forward!
As a result, the wood, which was about to reach the opposite bank, also rotated at an angle of about 30 degrees to the right in an uncontrollable situation!
