Chapter Seventy-Four: The Reckless Woman
Three big trees were brought down, and the timber for Ye Duhong's shipbuilding was there, and he had built small boats, but large ships had not yet been built. The owner of the island has heard people talk about myths, the mythical gods can be transformed into another person, can also turn stones into gold, can turn a house into a mountain, the owner of the island wants to turn into a big ship at night, night Duhong has ridden a crocodile, and has seen frogs flying in the sky, which is a rare thing, but he has never heard of turning an object out of thin air. Of course, Ye Duhong can't conjure a big ship, but he can build a big ship. Ye Duhong has been on a small boat, but the big boat has not been on it.
From the matter of shipbuilding, Ye Duhong talked about riding a horse, and the owner of the island said that he had ridden an elephant, not a crocodile. Su Yu said that she had seen a white spirit beast when she lived underground, and after taming, she rode on the white spirit beast, and later Su Yu released the spirit beast in order to find Ye Duhong. The topic returned to the big ship, the ship built by Ye Duhong must be able to carry a lot of jewels, in other words, there must be many storage rooms. Ye Duhong already had a method for building a big ship in his mind, and the whole process had a rough outline.
Ye Duhong opened the toolbox brought by Su Yu and cut the wood. Although Ye Duhong's movements were not skillful, his earnestness was admirable, and he removed the thin branches and leaves of the big tree, and then removed the skin, and cut the trunk into the ideal shape. The owner of the island helped Ye Duhong operate, although he was not familiar with his hands, but he did it with his heart, and the work was still well coordinated. The owner of the island watched Ye Duhong cutting wood, and laughed, the owner said that Ye Duhong's action was like killing fish, and Ye Duhong was also so excited when he killed fish.
It was at this time that a woman's voice came, she shouted, "What's the matter with you?!", Ye Duhong and the island owner, including Su Yu, didn't understand what was going on, so they asked what the situation was. The woman roared and stated the facts, and it turned out that the woman was washing clothes here, and the iron helmet was placed on the ground, but when the tree fell, it fell on the iron helmet, and all the clothes of the iron helmet were smashed. This tree is very tall, and if it falls and hits something, Ye Duhong didn't expect it in advance. The woman's clothes were dirty and smashed, so she ran down the tree, and ran over to see Ye Duhong at work.
This woman was the proprietress of the grocery store that Meng Hai had seen on the broken street, and she was arguing with a coachman over a washboard, and even got into a fight. This proprietress Ye Duhong has also seen her, Ye Duhong recognized her at this time, but Ye Duhong is very unclear, how can this woman appear here?
Ye Duhong raised her own questions, and the woman said, the red-clothed army and the free army are fighting in the world, the soldiers are in chaos, where is there a place to live, I took a boat with luggage to desert the soldiers, so I came to this place, it is not bad, the air is good, and the sun is good.
Isn't Ye Duhong also here, it's not a very unusual thing to come here. Ye Duhong said, what are you yelling about, isn't it just that your clothes have been smashed?
And she said, How thou hast spoken, and how thou hast spoken?
The owner of the island couldn't look at it, and came over and said, what are you, even if you smash your clothes, it's good if you don't kill you.
The owner of the island used to be the lord of everyone, and he spoke very imposingly, he was no longer the owner of the island, but he still maintained this condescending way of speaking, and the woman was not happy when she heard it, and reached out to grab the face of the island owner, and the owner of the island was in a hurry, and raised his axe and cut it at the woman. Although the woman did not know martial arts, she was a person with quick hands and feet, and the owner of the island slashed out with his axe in the air, and wanted to cut the woman in half, but the woman quickly avoided it. The woman suddenly ran to a piece of wood, bent down and stretched out her hand, and actually picked up the wood, the wood was heavy, how could there be dozens of catties, but the woman picked up the wood and looked like she was not a problem, he held one end of the wood, and the other end swept the island owner, the island owner was frightened, and hurriedly retreated. The woman held the log, and poked at the owner, the owner of the island crawled on the ground, ran forward, ran away, the woman held the heavy wood and couldn't catch up, the owner shouted in the distance, you shrew, scolding and beating, still not a woman, the woman suddenly put down the wood, shouted at the owner, you shrunken turtle, what are you running so fast, are you afraid of the old lady, are you still not a man. The owner of the island pointed to the woman and said, "What are you arrogant, who ran away, what are you running, you don't run, I still run, you run first, I run later, I haven't asked you what you are running."
Ye Duhong came to persuade the woman to calm her anger, and Su Yu also went to persuade the island owner not to care, and the island owner and the woman were angry. Ye Duhong said, look, how can I compensate you?
The woman looked like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, and said, "Compensation for me, do you pay for it, do you have any jewels or do you have any jewels?"
Ye Duhong said, I really have jewelry, how about I pay you jewelry? Ye Duhong reached out and took out a pearl from his pocket. This pearl is made by the garbage eater with garbage waste, it is very beautiful, very attractive, and very connotative. The woman took the pearl that had been alone in the night, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
Because she had received a beautiful pearl, the woman stopped thinking about her clothes being smashed, and left happily.
When the woman was completely out of sight, the owner of the island came cautiously from a distance, and came to a pile of wood, and he looked behind the wood suspiciously, to make sure that the woman was not hiding behind the wood. This woman was the first living person they had seen on the island after the earthquake, and although the woman had made a very unfriendly impression on them, it was a new thing and a joy for them to see the first living person.
Ye Duhong looked at the work at hand, he still needs to work harder, Ye Duhong can do any work with dedication, he is a serious and responsible person. Ye Duhong continued to cut the wood, and the wood gradually formed a beautiful appearance in his hands, and the shape of these wooden planks showed how tall and gorgeous the ship that was about to be built.
Ye Duhong stepped up his time, and soon, he made a lot of plates, and the island owner cooperated with Ye Duhong to put these plates together well, and the outline of the big ship was there. Tomorrow night, Duhong will have to work hard all day, and by tomorrow night, the ship will basically come out. By the evening of the day after tomorrow, the ship will almost be ready. All that's left is to paint the hull, make the sails, make the nets, prepare the items they need to go to sea, and finally they just need to load the jewels they have dug up in the ruins onto the ship and set off.
Ye Duhong is looking forward to the day of departure, how could the island owner and Su Yu not be?
