Chapter 280 West Malaysia Highway (4)
The muses and the others were first settled in the open fields on both sides of the road, the stoves were raised to boil the water, the frightened beasts also needed to eat and drink some good things, the mounts and equipment were unloaded, and some people commanded the indigenous workers to move the surrounding stones as seats. 【Reading.com】
Shi Nengren raised his eyebrows and looked at the knights who served the indigenous workers, beckoned to the overseer Tu Seventeen and said, "You follow the three of them to see what else the knights have to use, just the three of you to help." ”
Tu Seventeen answered and hurried away. He'd never seen so many knights.
Damas Gaard glanced at Sneng Ren. The commoners of the Western Continent had to fight for a living, while the nobles survived mainly by playing with their hearts. He could naturally understand the meaning of Shi Nengren's words: the number of workers serving the knights was limited to three, and no more were allowed
It is not uncommon for civilians who dare to do this to knights.
Maybe it's the commoners of the city-state where the temple is located that have the guts.
Damas thought to himself, wondering which temple they were from.
Naturally, he didn't have to be busy, he just stepped on a stone and watched the work of the capital construction team condescendingly.
I saw that the indigenous workers below were divided into two groups, one group skillfully used a long strap to measure what side was on the ground, and skillfully marked everywhere.
Looking up again, in the dense woodland, the trees where the guns were fired can be faintly seen, and the deafening sound makes people's hearts tremble when they recall it.
It's powerful
Damas looked at the beast that had died on the road, shook his head, went around the trees in the open field, found a clean place, and sent away the kù belt, ready to take it easy.
There was no time to rest along the way, and the beast was bumpy again, and if it didn't relax and release some water, it would explode.
Damas commanded his little water gun with great interest, found a small four-leaf clover, aimed at its roots, and tried to flush it out. Four-leaf grass is very common, the root system is relatively developed, and anyone who can wash it out can call itself "water running", which is a kind of glorious title for men.
At the third stage of the glory, a native who was passing by and was about to cut down a tree suddenly shouted, "Why are you peeing here?" ”
Damas didn't turn his head, tilted his neck sharply, and said with a smile: "Not here, peeing on your g?" ”
He looked down on these civilians covered in mud. In fact, the status of the villagers is much lower than that of the urban commoners, but the aristocratic youth do not have this concept.
The villager retreated. He only saw a little dress, and heard the accent of the city of Mara, and realized that he had found the stubble of the knight. However, these days, under the hands of the Jiangning people, a group of natives feel superior to others, and before leaving, they still chanted: "If you don't go to the toilet, barbarians." ”
"Toilets?" Damas strangely picked up the kùzi and walked out.
It just so happened that the muse and a group of knights collectively released the water and walked into the beautiful rough wooden house, and when they came out for a while, they were all amazed.
"It's good to have a river behind, it's tasteless."
"I hit two frogs."
"They didn't bite you."
"What's this called?"
"Thatched pit."
"Good pit, clean, no smell. Rao, it's better than the pit of your heavy cavalry battalion. ”
"I peed and went, the water was big."
Feces are the warm gs of parasites, and in tropical regions, they are an important factor in determining life and death. Therefore, in the Mara city-state, the conditions of various toilets are better than those of ancient China at the same level of civilization. But the good ones are also limited, at best they are cleaned regularly, and occasionally there are some places that know how to disinfect with quicklime, but where there is no quicklime, they can only flush frequently.
For these actual knight servants, going to the toilet in the field is commonplace, and it would be good to be able to split a few field toilets on the battlefield, what else do you want.
Even aristocrats like Damas are used to and pee in the wilderness.
Today, however, Damas feels a bit of a loss of face. Being ridiculed by the common people, but the most disgusting thing, if the senate knows, there is no telling how many people laugh at themselves.
Damas spat on the ground and turned to go into the toilet.
Sure enough, it is clean and bright, I don't know what kind of stone is on the ground, it is a whole piece, how to find it, you can't see the gaps, plus there is water to clean, it is naturally clean.
There was a small river under the pit, and the filth in the afternoon was either washed away or purified directly -- the ability of the river to purify itself was known to people long ago, but they did not understand the principle and why.
Damas pursed his lips and thought: These Jiangning people do have some skills, but they love to be clean too much. Civilians should be dirty, and clean soldiers have no one to fear.
Pretending to be on the wooden board, releasing all the unfinished yellow springs in front of him, Sir Damas went out with a kù in his hand, but saw a young man in a white sè robe standing there, bending down and saying, "Lord Knight, please clean your hands." ”
It is a native plant similar to soaphorn that washes hands, which has a strong ability to remove pollution, but it is the norm for people in the western continent not to like cleanliness - even in the city, the environment with sewage and dusty ground is the norm, just like children playing on the beach every day, it is not easy to wash clean.
Damas, who was a nobleman, was not easy to shake his hands and leave, so he washed his hands under the fine water of the barrel, cleaned the dirt between his fingers with soap bark, and finally took the white fabric handed to him by the young man and dried his hands.
"It's so soft." When handing back the white fabric, Damas suddenly wanted to wash his face, but he was a little embarrassed.
When he walked out of the beautiful big room, he mōmō his linen underwear, which was not as soft as the cloth with which the other party wiped his hands.
"No wonder the nobles of Mara City want to buy the fabrics of the Jiangning people." Damas thought reluctantly and returned to the knightly circle.
Shi Nengren happened to come over and said with a smile: "My lords, Mr. Yu Weichao instructed us to do a good job of reception, and there will be members of the inspection team in a while, let's get ready to go." ”
Shi Nengren was an active member of the party when he was in school, and he was one of the few people in the martial arts hall who had anything to do with the party. Yu Weichao happens to be an old party member for many years, although he has not won any positions, but he is a high power in the Western Continent. The way the two sides can speak in the same way is also one of the reasons why Shi Nengren rose faster than the students of the same period.
Konjac doesn't know how to translate, always let the muse and others be busy for a while, re-equip the beast, help each other put on armor, and hang the knight's spear sleeve of more than 6 meters wiped clean on the belly of the beast, the existence of knight shì and knight servant is not unreasonable, like the strongest heavy cavalry in the temple, whether it is a dragon beast of Qingyi sè, or a miscellaneous mount, the dragon lance is not shorter than 10 meters, and some wealthy nobles can be equipped with metal three or four meters long, which is much more than the family property of ordinary jazz. As for the equipment for mount defense, it is also indispensable. A 10-meter-tall mount, not to mention a 5-meter-tall piece of equipment, would be exhausted before going to battle if the knight was to load it himself.
In the Great Legion War on the Western Continent, a good commander must be good at distributing the physical strength of the soldiers. Knight Hu Cong and Knight Shì have a particular focus on when to give heavy cavalry armor, when to let the Knight Hu Cong and Knight Sha Cong who have recovered their strength charge, and when to let them assist in the attack.
Without waiting for the knights' equipment to be put away, the Humvee drove over first, honked the horn twice with "Didi", and waited beside it. Qin Dajiang and the others came to the Western Continent late, and they had a sense of superiority as rulers or conquerors, so they naturally would not get out of the car to greet a group of natives.
On the other hand, the regulations produced by Yu Weichao also require that Humvees are not allowed to open their doors outside the city at non-essential times. As to what the necessary moment is, it will be to be corrected later. These regulations belong to the content that Yu Weichao is very interested in and Chen Yi does not care about, so they will sort it out by themselves. After all, the loss of a Humvee, or the loss of a few trainees, is not a big deal now, and even before the road is built, the value of Xijiang Water Village is nothing.
After a while, She Lei came to greet him with a patrol team composed of natives. The inspection team composed of the students was all taken away by Chen Yi, and a few of them who came in the early stage were basically reduced to the commander of the light pole again.
She Lei had been here for a long time, and his attitude towards the muse and the others was slightly better, beckoning them to advance from the pioneering ground. Along the way, the road that was going to be used as a roadbed had already been dug into a trench, and it was impossible to pass over.
Damas looked at it with interest and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Build roads."
"Free roads for the city-state?"
"Hmm."
"Then why dig up, it should be to put soil inside." Important roads between city-states are often passed by large mounts, and the dirt road has a limited bearing capacity, so it will naturally sink inward, and the easiest way to build a road is to pour soil into it and then re-level it. It sounds easy, but it really works, and the amount of earthwork is not small at all.
She Lei didn't know much about building roads, and he didn't have a sense of secrecy, so he said with a smile: "After putting stones, the bearing capacity of the road is better, so dig it first." ”
"A lot of rubble." As Damas spoke, he had already seen the part being filled with rubble.
She Lei hummed and turned his horse forward, while the Humvee fell behind, the battery always facing to the right.
In recent days, there have been several more attacks on the road, on a scale comparable to the previous ones, but with smaller losses. Especially after the tree whistle, the village hunters armed with automatic rifles with optical scopes can fire their guns at the first time when something happens, and sometimes even if they can't kill people, they can scare them away. However, even if the other party left four corpses, he still did not want to leave, and even wanted to find the kidnapped indigenous workers to exchange the corpses - She Lei now wants to see the curator return triumphantly, and the students who have stayed in the water village recently who do not envy the inspection team students who have been selected to leave, night vision goggles, automatic rifles, bazookas and C4 explosives, with these things, no matter which manor is chosen, it is all a credit.
"I see that there are a lot of wooden houses nearby, all of which are toilets...... So? ”
She Lei nodded and said, "Some are places to take a bath. ”
Now even the muse was strange, put down the idea of how to get a good citizen certificate in the water village, and asked, "Take a bath?" What to do in the shower on the road? ”
This can be regarded as their innovation in the Western Continent, She Lei is willing to say a few more words: "The weather is hot, there are rivers on the side of the road, but they are not necessarily clean, so we selected some rivers, and brought the water in with bamboo tubes, and automatically flowed there, whoever wants to take a shower can go in, and they can also rest and relieve the fatigue along the way." In addition, on such a hot day, there is no need to worry about catching a cold. ”
Damas was dumbfounded, and thought to himself: Passing by may not necessarily go to Mara City, maybe it is people from other city-states, what are you doing so well to them? It's not a father.
The muse also paused: "It's a waste, those three-story wooden buildings are also a place to take a bath?" ”
"Oh, those are road rest stops, there is food, there are showers and toilets, there is a fee."
"It's a dense forest, and there are monsters at night."
She Lei smiled and said nothing, in order to protect the capital construction team, there are stable bunkers on both sides of the road, so there is no need to use them in vain. If it is expanded in the future, the developed dense forest can only be called a human monster.
