Chapter 41: Brother Hugh
On a starry night, in the dead of night, the convoy quietly left the southbound road.
Ozmat deliberately chose a section of gravel mountain road as a U-turn. Although the convoy is full of people, because the mountain roads are all bare stones, this hard road surface greatly reduces the time required to clean up the traces in the later stage. After the convoy had walked nearly two kilometers along the rugged mountain road overnight, it turned west again and embarked on a more barren wild road.
This time, it was extremely difficult for the company to advance smoothly, and Omar and the others completely gave up their efforts to cover their tracks.
It seems that no one has walked this road for a long time, and only a winding trace can be faintly seen. The grass on the road can even reach the adult's thigh, and children can't find it if they fall into it...... The grass is covered with puddles, and the depth of the silt is unknown. It's okay to ride a horse, but the vehicle gets stuck in the mud when you walk, and this way of driving makes people who drive or ride in a car miserable. Catherine ran back and forth with the Rangers, acting as a human-powered tractor, and each one was too tired to speak.
This continued until it was dark and Milton asked everyone to stop and rest. Most people are so tired that they find a dry place and fall asleep, snoring after a while. Shen Yan has been riding a horse and following the team, which is considered to be in the cleaning team (but there is no need to clean anymore), and he has successfully lazy under everyone's care. At this time, he rode along the line and dragged back a few children who were about to fall out of the car.
Occasionally, when I looked back, there were few fields, and a deep ravine stretched to the horizon.
Before you know it, the road to the south is already on the other side of the mountain.
"This can't be done, the grass is too dense for the horse to walk." Milton casually slapped the spine of his sword, and the long grass under the fall rose to the thickness of a palm—as mentioned earlier, the people of this world are generally tall. Shen Yan had thought that only Milton and the others were more ancient, but it wasn't until he met the baron that he knew that this was a common phenomenon, because it was also a monster with a height of two meters! The adult men in the emotional world are all 1.80 meters at the bottom, with no upper cap and no horizontal horizontal. Not only are they tall and big, but they also have long hands and feet, and their palms are extraordinarily thick - it is estimated that any basketball team in this world can sweep the CBA or something based on physical fitness alone.
A palm is thicker than the mattress we sleep on.
All the people who didn't sleep, including the new rangers, followed the Big Four to lie down in the grass, looking at the semi-swamp under the grass roots, which was full of water and mud, and one by one they were worried about finding a way.
"How far is it?" Someone asked Milton.
"I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy in the past two years, to see how much the grass grows...... Such a road will take at least five days to cross the river to get better. Milton said worriedly. The previous road was trodden by the guerrilla regiment when it was on a mission - at that time, the regiment also carried dozens of horses and carts, and the rest of the people walked all the way, and did not find it too difficult. Who knew that once the young and strong labor force was insufficient, this road would be blocked in front of him like a moat.
"Maybe it's harder to walk ahead, do you want to turn around?"
"Maybe we can lose some luggage......"
Everyone looked at each other for a while, gossiping and discussing, but they couldn't come up with any practical solutions.
"Do you want to ask the magician? Hey, Shen Yan, what are you doing? At this time, someone finally mentioned the name of the "guiding light in the dark" - Shen Lighthouse, which made everyone's eyes light up! yes, we can't help it, but Tinker Bell...... No, it's not necessarily the prince's magician! Comrade Lighthouse is well-informed and knowledgeable, and has not disappointed everyone.
They didn't expect it before, not because they didn't pay enough attention to Shen Yan, but because they subconsciously didn't associate this kind of dirty thing with Shen Yan - people have to wash their hands before eating, who has ever been so particular? - Compared with Shen Yan, the nobles they have seen are like nouveau riche wearing gold and silver! Shen Yan didn't want to, he had already worked hard to learn to be an indigenous. But the living habits of modern society are deeply ingrained in him, and the "extravagance" that is unintentionally revealed is the most deadly!
Everyone who heard the reminder turned their heads together, and saw Shen Yan with a solemn face sticking three grasses on a small mound, and bowed three times with his hands folded and pouted...... He's incense on Io again......
(Io: If you hadn't been reincarnated by the Lady of the Ring City, the grass on your grave would have been three feet tall!) )
"Shen Yan, what are you?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shen Yan snapped his fingers handsomely, "Look, there's a way!" ”
*****
Hearing this, everyone was in high spirits!
Shen Yan said that if there is a way, then it must be reliable! As for the weird process, let's leave it alone...... Is the sacrifice of the evil god swollen? I didn't kill the programmer to sacrifice to the sky! In short, there is a way to get everything right...... After a period of evangelism (brainwashing), even newcomers believed in this teaching.
Next, Shen Yan's expression was a bit unfathomable - so that before everyone could ask a question, their confidence was first shattered by his expression - you know, that's what it feels like, even if I asked, and he gave me a careful answer, but I still couldn't understand a word. So much so that the people around me looked at me like they were looking at a monkey...... So everyone shut up and waited for others to ask first, but no one spoke first.
Shen Yan waited for a long time and no one praised him, and he was still a little depressed in his heart. Besides, it's quite troublesome to explain, they shouldn't understand friction or anything...... I had no choice but to demonstrate it directly.
Shen Yan looked around for a while, and finally set his sights on the horse that had been lying down. I don't know if there was a circular saw in this world, but the carriage was nailed out of evenly cut boards. Shen Yan went over, found a place to fit his hands, and broke it so hard!
……
"What is he doing? His face turned red. ”
"I don't know, ah, the pedals are up...... Is this pose doing pull-ups? ”
"Roll, pull-ups are to pull the body up, not to push the wheels outward...... I guess it's magic."
There was a lot of talk, a lot of talk.
At this time, Catherine, who had been sleeping for a while, happened to pass by, and she saw Shen Yan, who was breaking the wooden plank, with a red face and a thick neck, and walked over curiously, and helped pull it out - "Gaba~" sounded, the nails at both ends of the wooden board collapsed, and Shen Yan began to doubt life while holding the broken wooden board.
Power 7 is still a human tragedy...... The difference in strength with Catherine made him feel bad.
"I'm sorry...... Am I doing something wrong? Catherine, who was confused, quickly apologized.
"Why don't you move bricks if you have a lot of strength!" Shen Yanhu threw the plank to the ground with a face, "Remove the boards on both sides, and leave the job to you!" ”
"Huh? It turned out to be breaking the plank...... "All faces, including Milton, were distorted. I can't laugh, I can't laugh...... He'll hold a grudge. Catherine was puzzled to dismantle the plank, and everyone saw that Shen Yan began to spin around again. This time, the experienced lizardhead asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
"Planer......" Shen Yan gestured with his hand, feeling that it was difficult to express, "The carpentry is used to scrape the surface of the plank." ”
"Scrape flat, if you're trying to make it smooth, I've got another way." The lizard head said as he looked at the plank that had been dropped on the ground. He casually took off the half-handed sword he was carrying, and in a flash of cold light, the surface of the plank was slashed off from a thin layer, about a millimeter thick! Revealing the new wood underneath, the surface is as smooth as a mirror!
“!!! Lizard Head, your swordsmanship is so powerful?! Shen Yan was stunned by this hand—this sword swing was extremely accurate and accurate, and it looked like magic!
"No, no, it's really nothing, it's just a little more practice." Omar was embarrassed to be praised and denied it again and again.
"Hmph~" A dissatisfied voice came from the side, and Milton's foot kicked under another plank, which rolled and flew up. Then he took the hilt of the great sword in both hands and rolled it around...... Cut a uniform layer of wood flowers from the surface of the plank!
"Rare and weird, what's so difficult about this." The tiger over there picked up the axe and slashed down in a posture of pulling out the mountain and covering the world! Also from the board to slice a whole piece of thin wood...... Several wooden planks with shiny surfaces were placed in front of Shen Yan in turn, as if to say...... Teenager, you don't know anything about power.
They are just showing off, and it is a very face-saving thing to be praised by Shen Yan.
How do you know that this scene is in Shen Yan's eyes, but it seems that he has been poured cold water on his head, and the whole person is sober! The previous successes had made him a little flustered, but to be honest, he was able to destroy the Baron with one stone before, and the bigger reason was luck and tools! It's like a knight being attacked by a farmer with a crossbow...... And the 12th level of the baron is just stuck at the threshold of being advanced but not advanced, and his physical fitness is still mortal. really fights head-on, against Shen Yan, the baron can be a thousand.
Forget it, since you can't do it, let's move your mouth.
"Here, lizardhead, you take this board and bend the tip inward...... Don't break it, it's not for you to stir up the foundation......" After tossing for a long time, Shen Yan thought of another way to thin the corresponding part of the board by three points, and then successfully completed the step of bending the front end of the board. All that remained was to remove the wheels of the carriage and replace it with a rudimentary skateboard.
"Come, let the horse walk two steps."
"Will this work? Don't have wheels to move? "A group of people who have barely seen snow, let alone sled, have said that you are taking revenge on the horses! In the end, the unwelcome tiger was pushed out again, "You come and pull the cart and try it." ”
The tiger pulled up the car and ran from the back of the team to the leader of the team in one breath, without taking a breath. When he came back, he first glared at Shen Yan, then turned his head and said to Catherine. "Very good...... It's so easy to pull, and you don't have to run hard. ”
Thereupon...... Do you think the next step is to start the project and do it quickly? Not really! The next thing is that everyone pulls and runs around, and they also ask someone to sit in the car and pull it, even Catherine, a woman...... It's so novel that you don't want it, and the comments are even more nonsense - completely forget about pulling a cart, that's the job of people! What a fun are you guys doing!
Did the horse say anything?! People are still queuing up next to them!
