Listening to Li Xifeng's words, Ye Li set his eyes on the temporary venue circled in front of him.

The area of this open space is really not small, and now there are many people in it who are busy, splicing together wooden planks and placing them in the middle of the open space.

These wooden platforms are obviously used to display goods, and the traveling merchants who have booked the location in advance will naturally occupy a better geographical advantage and be located in the center of the venue.

Most people come to the venue with the idea that "something inside might be better" and converge in the center, so these places are bound to be more lively and business will be better.

"Let's go, Brother Ye, let me introduce you to a few of my other old friends, as well as the remaining six guards besides you. ”

Li Xifeng patted Ye Li's shoulder and said enthusiastically.

Ye Li also smiled and nodded, making friends with different people was one of the purposes of his outing.

As Li Xifeng walked into the venue, three men and one woman and four old men walked over not far away.

Ye Li took a rough look, these people should be about the same age as Li Xifeng, and they must be the old friends he said before who worked together.

"Zephyr, why did you come so early today?"

A blushing old man with a large body was the first to greet Li Xifeng.

Li Xifeng looked at them and said with a smile: "Didn't you guys come earlier?"

Come, let me introduce to you, this is the last guard we found on that commissioned mission, Brother Ye Liye. ”

Then he pointed to the fat old man who had just spoken, and said to Ye Li: "Little Brother Ye, this fat old man is Chen San, and this thin old man is his younger brother Chen Wu."

This beautiful old girl is Tie Xiaohua, you call her Sister Tie, if she is old, she will be unhappy.

And this old guy with a scar on his face, he is the oldest of us, Brother Lin Shiyulin.

He is also my savior, if he hadn't sacrificed his life to save me, I would have died under the minions of the demon beast.

The scar on his face was left to save me. ”

After Li Xifeng opened his mouth to introduce, Ye Li hurriedly greeted a few people: "Boy Ye Li, I have seen two old uncles Chen, Sister Tie and Uncle Lin. ”

Although several old men didn't know why Li Xifeng introduced them to a hired guard so solemnly, they all had decades of friendship and trusted each other very much, knowing that Li Xifeng must have his reasons for doing things, so they also greeted Ye Li politely.

After greeting him, Li Xifeng asked, "How much preparation work is left here?"

Chen San said: "The wooden platform is almost finished, and there is not much left.

However, Xiaohua said that she wanted to build some pergolas in the venue, and she felt that the sun was too big and would scorch her. ”

When Tie Xiaohua heard Chen San's words, she frowned and said, "What do I think the sun conference will expose me, I obviously said that I am afraid that the sun conference will be exposed to the guests who come to the assembly tomorrow."

After all, it's the height of summer, and if we can build some pergolas, tomorrow's guests will definitely be much more comfortable and attract more people here.

However, my original idea was to use thick wooden pillars to stand all over the venue, and finally build a pergola with ordinary bamboo poles and tarpaulin, so that the whole venue could be enveloped.

However, there are really no of us who can make thick stakes out of wooden walking charms, so I guess we will have to settle for the next best thing, using some bamboo poles, one by one, to build a pergola, but this is a huge amount of work, and we may only be able to build some in the center of the venue.

After all, if we go to a distant place to cut down trees, it will be very difficult to carry them alone, and there are not enough people to move them. ”

Hearing Tie Xiaohua's words, Ye Xiaohua moved, and said, "Sister Tie, do you need big trees to build a pergola?"

Tie Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to use a tree-like wooden pillar as the main support, and then I used bamboo poles to build a silhouette on it, and finally just put on the tarpaulin."

After all, the scope here is so large, if an ordinary bamboo pole does not know how much it needs to bear the weight of the entire pergola, if you use wooden posts, it will be much easier. ”

Ye Li thought for a while and said, "Sister Tie, although I don't have a wood rune root, if you just need wood like a big tree, I should be able to get you a lot." ”

Hearing Ye Li's words, several people were at a loss, obviously they didn't understand what Ye Li's "got a lot" meant.

"Brother Ye, do you mean to go directly to cut down trees?

It's not far from the woods, but we have limited manpower, and some of us have to continue to build wooden platforms, so we can't afford to carry the wood.

Moreover, a tree is so heavy, even if our spirit rune master has more physical strength than ordinary people, one person can carry one, and after tossing for a day, we can collect all the wood at most, which is not enough time to build it. ”

Tie Xiaohua said.

Ye Li didn't have a specific explanation, he just smiled and said, "Sister Tie, you just need to tell me how many trees you need in total, and I will be responsible for helping you get them." ”

Tie Xiaohua looked at Ye Li and then at Li Xifeng, she found that the latter was also looking at Ye Li with a blank face, obviously not knowing what kind of medicine Ye Li was selling in the gourd.

"Brother Ye, I estimate that we need a total of fifty pieces of wood here, which are about seven or eight meters high, and the thickness is about the same as a thigh.

But can you really get that much wood?"

Ye Li nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I estimate that in a few hours at most, I will be able to find all the wood for you, but you are responsible for preparing the bamboo poles, after all, there is still not enough time, and I can't be busy alone." ”

Tie Xiaohua said: "Okay, we will be responsible for the preparation of the bamboo pole, if Brother Ye can really get wood, it will be really good." ”

While talking, suddenly a little girl less than ten years old ran over from a distance, and shouted at Lin Shiyu with a smile as she ran: "Grandpa, grandpa, Uncle Chu said that the planks are a little insufficient, let you take some more planks out." ”

As the little girl spoke, she had already run to the side of everyone, and then grabbed Lin Shiyu's arm and shook it.

The little girl looked no more than eight or nine years old, with a long pink carved jade cut and a pair of pigtails on her head, which looked a little playful.

"Hey, why did the little red bean come today?"

Li Xifeng obviously didn't expect the little girl to be here, so he asked with a surprised face, but judging from the loving look in his eyes, he obviously felt that the appearance of the little girl was a surprise.

Lin Shiyu touched her forehead, and said a little helplessly: "It's not because of Hongdou and her father and mother went out to buy goods again, I invited Sanniang to take care of her because of her father's death and went home on leave, so I can only take her with me." ”
