Chapter Eighty-Six: An Unsolvable Problem
Duan Meng's planned location sits in the north and faces south, with the back of the hillside, the terrain is slightly higher, the ground is dry, there is just a relatively dense tree on the left to block the whistling sea breeze, and the right side is not far from the spring water, and the water can be used to guide the water to the door, which is very convenient.
The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Chu Xiang originally planned to let Lei Ming find such an island as a way back, but now that everyone is here, they can directly build this island into a hole, and Lei Ming can build another cave there, and truly reach the three caves of the cunning rabbit.
"Then let's do it." Duan Meng said with a smile.
Chu Xiang looked at the surrounding trees, cut down the excess trees, leaving two rows of trees as pillars, and asked Yang Rong to clean up the shrubs and weeds within the planning area, Song Xiaoting was responsible for cleaning up the branches and peeling off the bark, and Leng Ruyue was responsible for splitting the cut tree trunks into wooden blocks. Seeing Wen Yi Kite coming, Chu Xiang asked her to take the fish out to the nearby islands to find some mats, futons and other things to come back.
Not long after, Wang Liang, Nan Zhongdao and others came back, there was no nail rope on the island, Chu Xiang asked Zhong Fugui to cut the branches into thumb-thick strips, and several other people used these wooden strips to nail the wooden blocks and pillars.
Although several people are masters of refining the marrow, it is not an easy task to nail up the trunk with a wooden strip that is softer than a wooden block, and it is the most test of skill, and the five people nailed it for a long time, but they did not nail the frame of the wooden house.
"Boss, I have to do coolies on the first day of the new year, this is not a thing!" Li Qiong shouted, he broke seventeen wooden bars in a row, and none of them were nailed in.
"You hurry up for me, Xiaoyue's planks are almost all chopped, and you are still grinding and chirping." Chu Xiang scolded.
Splitting the plank is not an easy task for Leng Ruyue, many people can do it by cutting a ten-centimeter plank, fifty centimeters is as easy as Leng Ruyue, but two meters is different, the longer the more difficult, a knife down, if the person does not move, with the arm length of Leng Ruyue at most one meter will be exhausted, and he must step forward when he is cut down, and the whole body must be lucky to make Ruyi, in order to split a two-meter-long plank with a knife, and the strength is slightly deviated, it can't be done.
Peeling the bark of the tree is also not an easy task for Song Xiaoting, the bark of these trees is very hard, and it is very close to the trunk, if you can't flexibly master the power of the easy tendon level, it is difficult to easily peel off the bark.
After Yang Rong cleaned up the ground, she was already soaked, unkempt, and extremely embarrassed, Chu Xiang did not let her go because of this, and asked her to cut the trunk into a stake of fifty centimeters, the requirement was one hundred, and it must be cut one by one, and one cut is not counted. Yang Rong really started practicing martial arts for a month, and she didn't make much progress, she didn't have any bloodline awakening, she was just an ordinary woman, which was not a simple thing for her.
Zhong Fugui cut thousands of wooden strips, and when he cut them to the end, he saw the knife flashing continuously, and in a moment a wooden strip with the same thickness and no burrs appeared.
Everyone sent a task, Chu Xiang sat and chatted with Duan Meng next to him, pointing out a few people from time to time, and when it was almost dark, a wooden house five meters wide, four meters high, and twenty meters long finally took shape. The hut was divided into five rooms, propped up with stakes at the bottom, and a corridor was made at the doorway, and a row of chairs were nailed.
Leng Ruyue was almost exhausted, both arms were swollen, she split more than a hundred trees, and she still used Chu Xiang's knife weighing more than ten catties. Song Xiaoting was also very tired, Leng Ruyue split a few trees, and she peeled the bark of a few trees. The most tired is Yang Rong, after finishing work, her palms can't even grasp the leaves, she keeps shaking, and her two hands don't seem to be her own.
"Do you feel accomplished?" Looking at the wooden house in front of him, Chu Xiang said.
"Yes." Li Qiong said weakly, and his hands were shaking. Six hundred and twenty-three sticks of wood were nailed, and five hundred and ninety-seven were broken, and he only nailed twenty-six into them.
The best result is Dou Yonghua, the other people's two hands can't compare to his one hand, only 316 are broken, 284 nails are nailed, followed by Yan Wuhui, the third is Nan Zhongdao, Wang Liang is fourth.
When everyone built the wooden house, Duan Meng was not idle, and when the wooden house was built, Duan Meng had already picked a bunch of wild vegetables and came back. Lighting a fire, catching some game on the island, catching some fish, Chu Xiang was thinking about why Wenyi Kite hadn't come back yet, when he saw Wen Yi Kite coming back with a large bundle of things.
Seeing the built wooden house, Wen Yiyuan exclaimed happily: "Great, finally I don't have to live in that broken wooden house." ”
After being busy for most of the day, except for Chu Xiang Duan Meng and Wen Yi Kite, everyone was soaked, but fortunately, the spring water was big enough, everyone took turns to take a bath while cooking food, and by the way, they set up a bath by the spring, at this time it was the hottest time, and the wet clothes dried quickly.
"I knew it wasn't a good thing to be with the boss." Li Qiong lamented while munching wild vegetables raw.
"Yes, Ah Liang, what is the effect of the women I asked you to teach?" Chu Xiang almost forgot about Wang Liang's three training of several women under Changsun Yue.
"It's okay, their talents are all good, they have all reached the level of Yijin, and one of them is almost about to break through." Wang Liang said, while saying while cutting wooden strips, he was practicing, and after seeing Zhong Fugui's technique of cutting thousands of wooden strips, he found that he couldn't do it, so he began to practice.
"Boss, where did you find those women, they all seem to be..."Glancing at Song Xiaoting's women, Li Qiong didn't continue.
Chu Xiang understood what Li Qiong meant, and said, "Didn't a group of women voluntarily worship under my door before, and when I saw that they were in difficulty, I helped them." ”
"It turned out to be them." Zhao Ziming nodded.
"Recently, they seem to be gaining momentum, and they are growing rapidly under the banner of martial arts, will there be any problems with this?" Wang Liang is colorful.
"There are some things that you can't get involved in, and I need them to stir up the pool and help me do something, and it doesn't matter what happens to them." Chu Xiangdao.
"What's so serious?" Dou Yonghua asked.
After thinking for a while, Chu Xiang said: "When I was in the last martial arts conference, I disappeared for almost a month, but in fact, I was plotted by someone, I was seriously injured and floated into the sea, and I was rescued by the little kite. ”
Before Chu Xiang finished speaking, Dou Yonghua exclaimed, "Who can actually plot against you?" ”
Song Xiaoting was taken aback, she knew Chu Xiang's situation better than everyone else, and it was by no means ordinary people who could seriously injure Chu Xiang, she grabbed Chu Xiang's hand tightly in horror, her face was a little pale, and she cast a grateful look at Wen Yiyuan.
"There are so many masters in this world that there is something strange about me." Chu Xiang smiled and said, holding Song Xiaoting's hand.
"Did the person who plotted against you also crossed the threshold of refining the marrow?" Yan Wuhui suddenly interjected.
Chu Xiang nodded.
"To be able to dispatch such a master, the other party must not be an ordinary sect." Dou Yonghua said solemnly.
"There is no need to discuss this matter, our strength is too poor at the moment, and people can destroy us with just two people." Chu Xiangdao.
As soon as Chu Xiang said this, everyone's expressions became more solemn, they knew that Chu Xiang was not joking, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.
"Little kite, this will be our shelter in the future, let your fish block the nearby sea area and prevent others from approaching." Chu Xiangdao.
"Hmm." Wenyi nodded obediently.
"Actually, don't be too nervous, we are still young, there is still a lot of time, there is enough time I believe you will not be worse than anyone else." Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Chu Xiang explained.
The atmosphere is still a little dreary.
"That elite challenge, Wuhui, Yonghua, Zhongdao, Ah Liang, Ziming and Ah Qiong, you all go and sign up, so there are not many opportunities to fight against others, see if you can gain something." Chu Xiangdao.
Several people nodded.
"This world is very big, there is no return, Yonghua, tell them about the situation of Gesar's war." No one spoke, so Chu Xiang could only name him.
It is definitely impossible to let Yan Wuhui tell stories, Dou Yonghua and Yan Wuhui have opposite personalities, they can speak well, and they are very good at telling stories. Under Dou Yonghua's wonderful narration, Gesar's battle was like a battle of the gods, with climaxes one after another, and everyone was thrilled to hear.
Dou Yonghua is very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and after Gesar finished the battle, everyone not only did not become more nervous, but became relaxed and happy, laughing from time to time. Being able to use a tense story to make a nervous crowd laugh in a tense atmosphere is a very powerful ability.
Everyone recovered their good mood, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, chatting while eating, each telling their own experience in the rivers and lakes, speaking of tension, everyone held their breath and concentrated, as if they were at the scene. After eating, I saw that Wang Liang kept cutting wooden strips, and the others followed suit, and they all cut wooden strips, just so that they could chat while practicing.
Duan Meng was old, tired after a day's work, and went back to sleep early, Yang Rong, Song Xiaoting and Leng Ruyue were all a little tired, and they all went back to sleep after chatting for a while. Reaching the level of refining the marrow, Chu Xiang and the others already have very little need for sleep, just rest for a while, now that they know that Chu Xiang was plotted, they understand that their strength is too poor, and they have no intention of sleeping, so they all go to the sea to practice.
With the help of deep sea pressure, the practice is quite effective, and everyone's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Chu Xiang stayed on the island for four days, went to the sea to practice during the day, and guided everyone in the evening based on his own experience, on the fourth day, the power of water pressure had little effect, and what should be taught was almost done, just had something to do, and said to everyone, and took Song Xiaoting back to the base to see Song Ming, Wenyi Kite insisted on sending the two, Chu Xiang had no choice but to let her send.
The plot was the same as Chu Xiang expected, as soon as he was not far from the island, Wenyi Kite began to make trouble, and looked at Chu Xiang with tenderness: "Now it's just the three of us, you say, what should I do?" ”
What can Chu Xiang say, he slept and felt guilty, now that people are forcing the palace, he can't kick the main palace Niangniang like the TV series.
Turning his head and holding Song Xiaoting's hand, Chu Xiang closed his mouth tightly, in such a situation, he can only be a turtle with a shrunken head, and it is wrong to say one more word.
After a long time, Wenyi Kite snorted, and the big fish sank and turned back.
Chu Xiang smiled bitterly, pulled Song Xiaoting, and walked on the water.
"She's my lifesaver." After a while, Chu Xiang said.
"I know." Song Xiaoting said lightly.
Knowing that Song Xiaoting was not satisfied with his attitude, Chu Xiang hesitated and confessed: "I slept with her." ”
"I guess." Song Xiaoting still said lightly, and her face became a little ugly.
Guessing is guessing, but admitting it to the perpetrator himself is another matter.
"I'm sorry." Chu Xiang hugged Song Xiaoting tightly in his arms and said.
"Don't be sorry, you slept with me when you slept with her, she came first, I came last, it's my fault." Song Xiaoting said.
This sentence is very heavy, looking at Song Xiaoting's gloomy eyes, Chu Xiang felt all kinds of feelings in his chest, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a thousand times, sighed secretly, hugged Song Xiaoting tightly, and let the hearts of the two stick together.
After a long time, when she was about to reach the shore, Song Xiaoting said, "You don't want to hurt her?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Xiang admitted.
"There's no way she's going to let go." Song Xiaoting said again.
Chu Xiang knew that Wen Yi Kite was actually here, and he would definitely not let go easily, and said: "She has been alone in the sea for five hundred and seventy-seven days, and when she saw me, she couldn't even speak, and now that she came to me, I can't let her ...... like before."
Song Xiaoting was silent, she hadn't seen anyone for five hundred and seventy-seven days, she couldn't imagine what a terrible kind of loneliness this was, sighed, and said, "You don't have to explain, I understand." ”
"I hope you can understand, I can't break her heart, in that case, there are only two possibilities for the consequences, one is that she returns to the way she was before, and the other is to create consequences that I can't bear, the little kite is an extreme person, and has extreme power, I can't let go of her." Chu Xiangdao.
Song Xiaoting hummed softly and stopped talking.
When sending Song Xiaoting back to the base to see Song Ming, she felt a slight change in the expressions and thoughts of the two, Song Ming's eyes became cold, if it weren't for Song Xiaoting beside him, Chu Xiang might have been beaten by a fat beating.
Without saying a word, Song Ming snorted coldly and went back to the base.
The mood was a little irritable, wrapped the long knife, Chu Xiang changed his body and appearance, and returned to Wucheng.
At the snack stall in the alley, Mr. Huang was drinking, drinking alone, a few plates of snacks, two bottles of beer, and you were very good.
Chu Xiang sat down opposite Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang glanced at Chu Xiang quietly, ignored him, and continued to eat and drink.
"What about my Heavenly King 400, driving into the river?" Chu Xiang said coldly.
Mr. Huang breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile: "Get out, I have already been washed into the sea." ”
"Boss, have a plate of peanuts." Mr. Huang shouted, this is Chu Xiang's favorite drinker.
