Chapter 22: A Happy Life
"A viaduct is a very tall tree, such as two trees that are one and a half meters apart, and then a rope connects another group of trees ten meters away."
"This goes back and forth many times, and the closer you get to the outside, the lower it gets, forming a downhill road to the town of Bhumixiu."
To enhance his persuasiveness, Lawrence took out a pot of wheat and placed it on the table, and used chopsticks to stick it in the wheat to make a simple model.
This time, Kehalan understood what the viaduct was, thought for a few seconds, and then said simply: "It doesn't seem difficult, but it will take a long time." ”
It takes quite a long time to ripen a large tree, and if you want to get from the manor to Phumixiu, you will definitely need a lot of large trees.
"It's okay!" Lawrence smiled, "It will take a long time to build the chains for the viaduct, and it is difficult to prepare so many things. ”
"In addition to the trees you help ripen, we also make use of the big trees that already exist on the road, which happens to have mountains and forests along the way, which can save a lot of time."
Ripening trees do not need to start from scratch, and you can directly choose a large tree in a suitable location on the road.
There is no shortage of ancient trees in the mountains, nor are there any stone cliffs that get in the way.
Workers can also erect telephone poles, which are too laborious to lift at 50 meters, but by digging a sloping hole in advance, they can insert a 20-meter trunk into the hole and erect it.
These things must not be done by two people at a time, but must be done by twenty or thirty people together, so that the pole can be pulled up.
Kehalan's ability to save labor would allow Lawrence to build the viaduct himself if he had enough manpower.
Sarry's brow furrowed as she imagined the viaduct, and quickly asked, "What if you fall from above?" You're going to fall to your death, right? ”
"Hmm." Lawrence nodded, "So it's generally for delivering news and goods, and I won't go this way if I don't have anything special." ”
Sariel breathed a sigh of relief, full of resistance to such an unbelievable thing.
Lawrence added: "In order to make it easier to go up and down the mountain, I wanted to try to build a simple viaduct first, such as connecting several places that needed to be detoured with air bridges. ”
"It's not people walking on it." Lawrence raised his hand, holding a chopstick in both hands and holding it across his head, "It's like this to row a rope from a high place and go down quickly, usually it takes half an hour to detour, but it will be there in a minute." ”
"It can be called a zipline, or you can tie a hanging plank to the rope and sit on it, or it can be like a swing."
Lawrence explained in detail the role of a simplified viaduct, which is extremely convenient for mountain and forest areas.
And the zipline is still one-way, so if others want to go up from the mountain, they can't use the zipline at all.
Sophia wondered, "What is a swing?" ”
Lawrence was stunned for a moment, only to realize that many children did not have such a thing as a swing in their childhood.
"I'll make one for you tomorrow, let's take a shower and sleep, and I'll call you when I need help."
Lawrence gave up on explaining that some things might be easier to understand when they were done.
Saliel stood up and said, "Take a shower!" ”
Delenn and Khallan got up and stretched their waists after sitting for a long time, and Loshanda didn't like to discuss things with Lawrence that he didn't understand, so he had already gone to the shower.
Sophia held the pillow in both hands and refused to get up, and after the rest of the witches left, she whispered: "Master, Bull taught me to dance today, can I dance for you?" ”
Lawrence smiled, "Okay, take a shower and jump again, and change into nice clothes." ”
"Hmm!" Sophia nodded happily and quickly got up and looked in the cabinet next to her.
After looking for two minutes, Sophia took out a much smaller dress with a depressed face, "Master, my most beautiful clothes can't be worn, I've gotten bigger." ”
Lawrence looked at the dress in Sophia's hand, the same beautiful dress that Sophia had worn when she was a slave before.
Although the food and drink were much better, the clothes of the slave traders were much better than the traditional handicrafts of the region.
In the past few years, it has been the time for Sophia to grow her body, and Sophia, who now has the body of a female high school student, has long been unable to wear this kind of elementary school clothes.
Lawrence's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Yes, I think smaller clothes are sexier, more like adults!" ”
Sophia heard this for the first time and said suspiciously, "Really? ”
Lawrence encouraged, "You put it on, I like to watch dances with little fabric." ”
"That's it!" Sophia smiled and put the expired clothes into her arms, "Then I'll wear this for the master to dance after I take a bath!" ”
Lawrence quickly changed his tone and said: "Let's dance now, there is no one else in the house now, and the big bed is big enough, otherwise when everyone comes back and lies on the bed to rest, you will dance on the ground and your feet will definitely hurt." ”
"Hmm!" Sophia was even more moved when she saw that her master still cared so much about herself.
If it weren't for the slippery bathroom, Lawrence would have chosen to dance there.
Soon Lawrence lay on the edge of the bed, lying on his side and watching the youthful and lively blonde girl dance happily in front of him.
It was snowing outside, and in the brightly lit room, the enthusiastic girl kept shaking her healthy body in front of the young man with her eyes like a torch, trying to give everything she had to show her best side.
The snow is getting heavier and the outside world is quieter.
In his third year on this mountain, Lawrence has achieved the triple satisfaction of family, career, and wealth.
Far away in the south, a merchant brought all sorts of goods from the kingdom of Lorfen to this prosperous city.
Playing cards from the north soon became popular in various taverns, and merchants from all over the country saw the opportunity and quickly traveled to the kingdom of Lorfen to buy them.
There are also many businessmen who choose to make their own cards, or the convener imitates this kind of playing cards to set up a family workshop.
The merchants of this era, like those of the rest of the era, had a keen sense of money.
Many merchants, through their chambers of commerce and social circles, soon learned that the cards came from a tribe of prophets in the north.
There's a sorcerer named Ravenfeather Prophet who not only crafts a medicine that banishes the curse of the sea god, but also has powerful sorcery that can bring people back to life!
He punched and killed a large boar taller than the church, breaking the boar's long fangs into playing cards! - Friesen
He was able to come back to life, I was dying, I was already dead, I felt like I had fallen into the icy waters, it was the Prophet who exchanged the life of a cow from the god of the sea for me! - Dead Doug
He can summon crows, and he can use them to watch over everything on the earth. - A Bumishian villager who drank alcohol
