Waiting like this for several hours, seeing that the sky was getting dark and Huang Yueying hadn't woken up yet, Xu Shu had no choice but to ask someone to rush to the Huang's house to report the news. Xiaohuan, the girl next to her, rushed over, Huang Chengyan knew Huang Yueying was ill again at the first sight, and quickly helped the little girl to help Huang Yueying into the carriage, and then looked at Xu Shu worriedly, he was really afraid that Xu Shu would dislike Huang Yueying because of this kind of thing .

"Nephew..."

Xu Shu comforted with a smile: "Yueying is so obsessed with ingenious things, it makes my nephew feel ashamed, but it's a pity that my nephew can't study hard like Yueying."

Huang Chengyan said gruffly: "Nephew, don't you mind this matter?"

"This is something that should be congratulated. My little nephew wishes he could be like Yue Ying, so why would he mind?" Xu Shu said sincerely.

Huang Chengyan was very happy in his heart, he liked Xu Shu very much, the most important thing was that his daughter liked it too, and Xu Shu didn't mind this matter, Huang Chengyan's heart moved, and he said: "Nephew, it seems that you have never been to my Huang's house. As a guest? Why don't you just go here?"

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi can't ask for it."

Huang Chengyan and Xu Shu followed the Huang family's carriage into the Huang Mansion. Huang Chengyan was about to invite Xu Shu into the house to talk, but he heard Huang Yueying's joyful shout from the carriage: "I see, that's how it is." The curtain was lifted, Huang Yueying jumped down, she was slightly taken aback when she saw Xu Shu, "Brother Yuan Zhi?"

Seeing this situation, Huang Chengyan turned his head away and grabbed his beard so hard that he almost tore it off. He felt that his daughter was too ashamed.

Huang Yueying didn't know what her father was thinking, so she grabbed Xu Shu: "Brother Yuanzhi, I figured it out, I can make that wooden cow and horse."

Before Xu Shu could answer, Huang Chengyan was shocked.

Chapter 242 Proposed Important Town

As a good father, Huang Chengyan who loves Huang Yueying naturally knows how to be good.

When Huang Yueying was very young, a man named Ma Gong came to Xiangyang City. He was from the Ma family in Qingzhou. He also came to Huang's house as a guest. Huang Yueying was only two years old at this time. Ma Gong cut out a wooden frog and gave it to Huang Yueying. This jumping wooden frog became Huang Yueying's favorite toy before she was six years old.

Why do you say before the age of six?Because after the age of six, Huang Yueying was able to make mechanism wooden frogs by herself, which even surprised Huang Chengyan. You must know that this was all due to Huang Yueying's self-study, because the Ma family's mechanism knowledge would not be passed on to outsiders.

When Huang Yueying was eight years old, one day she came back from playing outside and told Huang Chengyan crisply that she wanted to build a wooden cow and wooden horse that could run. The ox cart collided, and the ox and horse were injured at the same time, and they couldn't move. Huang Yueying wanted to create a kind of ox and horse that could not be injured, so that they would not be afraid to drive in the future. Huang Chengyan didn't care at that time.

But since then, Huang Chengyan found that her girl seemed to be a different person. She had read all of Huang Chengyan's books, and asked Huang Chengyan to look for ancient books, especially books about organs. So to be precise, Huang Yueying started from At the age of eight, he began to formally and systematically study organ science.

Four years later, when Huang Yueying was 12 years old, she made the first wooden ox. Eight thousand eight hundred eight, so exquisite that even Huang Chengyan was dumbfounded.

Although Huang Chengyan felt that this kind of wooden cow might not be able to be made even by the Ma family, Huang Yueying was not satisfied. The wooden cow she imagined was the kind of wooden cow that could run on its own, but the current wooden cow cannot. Run around on your own.In addition, the movements are stiff, and the internal mechanism will be damaged if it is pulled by a person and walks tens of feet.

This year, Huang Yueying studied harder and dabbled in academics, astronomy, geography and other knowledge.And in the next few years, the wooden ox was improved several times, and the internal mechanism of the wooden ox began to use iron.

At the age of 15, Huang Yueying made the fourth wooden ox. At this time, the wooden ox was made of wood except for the outside, and the inside of the ox was almost made of iron mechanisms and gears. The number of mechanisms increased to 99. It weighs more than three thousand catties, but unfortunately this wooden ox is so heavy that it can't even walk.Huang Yueying thought about reducing the weight, so she made another Liuma. The Liuma weighed more than [-] catties, but it still couldn't work.

As for wooden cows and horses, although they couldn't run, Huang Chengyan still saw their importance, so he warned his daughter and told Huang Yueying.If the wooden cow and horse are really made, then they must be kept secret.Because Huang Chengyan was worried that this kind of thing would be taken by some ambitious people and used in the war, Huang Yueying dismantled the wooden cow and the Liuma, but she never forgot about it, but kept thinking about it.

Hearing that his daughter said that he could make a wooden ox and a horse, Huang Chengyan knew that what his daughter said was that he could make a wooden ox and a horse run automatically.That's why Huang Chengyan was so shocked.

But Xu Shu had never heard of the name of wooden cow and horse, so he didn't know how strange this kind of thing is. Even in the 21st century, this is a mystery that many craftsmen can't figure out.

Seeing that Huang Yueying wanted to show off her beauty to Xu Shu as if she was offering a treasure, Huang Chengyan could only sigh with emotion that the girl was not allowed to stay.However, Huang Chengyan really likes Xu Shu very much. If that is the case, then he will fulfill his daughter, but the origin of Shan Fu...

"This Shan Fu has a strange aura. He must have been in the army before, and he is quite powerful in the army. His guard Shan San is a barbarian, and his mount is a white elephant. It is inseparable from the South Yue border, but he must not be a yellow scarf. What kind of power is there in crossing the border? Wait for me to test it out..." Huang Chengyan thought to himself.

......

The river water in the forest has finally receded slowly, which means that the flood season of the Mekong River is coming to an end.

For more than ten days in a row, Lin Bei had to bear the food for more than ten thousand people. He felt the pressure was enormous, and he almost caught all the bison on the mountain.

Every day, Zhang Cheng sent soldiers to the bottom of the mine to have a look. When the river was only about one meter long, Lin Bei ordered everyone to make nets to catch fish, and take a boat to the Mekong River every day, under the protection of Lin Bei. Harvesting, to a certain extent, can be regarded as alleviating the food crisis, Liao is better than nothing.

In late August, the flood season, which lasted for nearly 20 days, finally passed, and all the stagnant water in the forest receded and returned to the river.

"My lord, the river has finally receded." In the morning, Zhang Cheng came to report to Lin Bei.

"It's good to retreat." Lin Bei sighed. It was almost 20 days, which was longer than Lin Bei expected. This is probably the case for rivers without dams and reservoirs. "Can I return to Linjiang City now?"

But Zhang Cheng shook his head: "My lord, I'm afraid it can't be done at this time. Although the flood has receded, the forest is full of mud, which is nearly a foot thick. I'll send soldiers to explore the way first. Why don't we start tomorrow?"

"Then I'll go too." Lin Bei didn't want to stay in the mine anymore.

Lin Bei was going, and the achievement had to stay in the mine. Lin Bei took five hundred soldiers and headed towards the forest.

At a glance, the forest is covered by silt at this time, and there are many puddles between the silt. The water in these puddles cannot flow away. If the puddles are large, they cannot evaporate, and it is easy to form a swamp. .

Lin Bei walked to the front, crawled into the mud, and immediately sank in, covering half of Lin Bei's body. As a result, it became difficult to walk.

"Be careful everyone, follow me." Lin Bei turned to the sergeant and said, Lin Bei and the sergeant's task this time is to explore and open the way. Going in, opening the way is naturally to get rid of the silt to make it easier to walk.

Lin Bei was in front, and the sergeants followed behind, using hoes and thick branches to break up the mud. The five hundred sergeants stayed up the mountain for nearly half a month, and they were all full of energy. They were already panicked, so they started working Very hard.

Just a few steps away, a fish suddenly jumped out of the mud a few meters ahead, nearly [-] centimeters long, and then desperately tried to get into the mud. Come, finally caught this fish with difficulty.

This is a catfish, probably a small giant catfish, but it did not follow the river after the river receded. If it was caught at this time, it would become a delicious meal for everyone at night.

"There are still fish here?" The sergeants said cheerfully.

"Look carefully at the mud, there should be fish." Lin Bei said loudly.

Afterwards, Lin Bei knew that they were coming. There were not only fish in the mud, but also crabs, lobsters, carp, loaches, and forest frogs. The small one is only a few centimeters, and the same is true for others. The soldiers also caught an old yellow weasel nearly half a meter long.

It was less than 500 meters, almost all the five hundred sergeants were catching fish, and the harvest was quite rich. Lin Bei saw it, so he immediately sent the sergeant back to the mine and asked Zhang Cheng to call all the idlers. , Why are you calling?Catch fish of course.

Soon, Zhang Cheng sent people, the number reached several thousand, all of them were carrying big basins or barrels, and some people were more ruthless, carrying small boats, and when they caught fish, they threw them into the small boat.

This is the harvest time. The river water brought ashore during the flood season brought a large number of fish. The Mekong River in this era is extremely rich in aquatic products, otherwise it would not be able to raise the countless big fish in the river. The aquatic products left in the forest are estimated to only account for One percent of the aquatic products of the entire Mekong River, even so, is too much for Lin Bei and the soldiers.

After catching fish for a whole day, Lin Bei and the others only advanced more than ten miles. During the distance of more than ten miles, they caught almost [-] catties of various aquatic products at night, so everyone naturally ate fish at night.

Naturally, Lin Bei's food should be the best, but Lin Bei only picked catfish, and asked his crew to slaughter the catfish and then cook the soup in a large pot. Except for a little salt, there were almost no other seasonings, but even In this way, Lin Bei almost swallowed the soup with his tongue.

Catfish is delicious and has very few thorns. For giant catfish in the Mekong River, any fish smaller than one meter is a juvenile fish, so the meat is more tender and delicious.

"My lord, the rising water has such benefits." Zhang Cheng also ate with Lin Bei, but Zhang Cheng's was a small pot, while Lin Bei's was a giant pot...

Lin Bei smiled and said: "Yes, there are so many fish here alone, if you catch all the fish in the entire forest, wouldn't that be enough to feed you for a year or two?"

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "It seems to be true, so I will catch fish tomorrow?"

"Catch it, but you don't have to deliberately, the most important thing is to rush to Linjiang City."

Zhang Cheng nodded.

On the second day, although they were still catching fish, everyone consciously rushed towards Linjiang City. Linjiang City was not far from the mine, so they arrived in the afternoon.

Linjiang City is now in ruins, only a few pillars are left, everything else has been washed away by the water, and it is bare. The sergeant returned after inspecting the surrounding area, saying that the boat tied to the tree was gone. Yes, Lin Bei had expected this a long time ago.

During dinner at night, Zhang Cheng found Lin Bei: "Master, now my Linjiang City is in ruins, will it be rebuilt tomorrow?"
