Chen Chao saw that the time was almost up, so he walked into the cave. The cave that was originally chattering and noisy, the moment he stepped in, there was only the crackling of the campfire burning.
It looks like the head teacher who suddenly appeared in the self-study class.
Chen Chao secretly laughed, walked to the crowd, and waved his hand, "Sleep if you should sleep, and watch the night if you should watch the night."
"Wow—" The whole cave returned to a lively atmosphere, and those who should sleep went to find their own animal skin quilts and spread them on the ground. The person in charge of guarding the first wave of night got up and walked to the entrance of the cave. He also took a few pottery bowls with him. If his hands were too cold, he could bring a bowl of hot water to warm his hands and heart.
There was nothing to say all night, and everyone woke up early the next day. Taking advantage of the time when others were preparing breakfast, Chao Chen took Shang Qu and Li Nong out to explore the road and look for trees suitable for felling.
As soon as Chen Chao walked out of the cave, he saw a lot of people gathered on the other side of the river not far away.
Some people are standing empty-handed, while others are holding something in their hands. Besides people, there were many black pigs and flower pigs scattered around them.
They vary in size, but they are so numerous that Chao Chen's mouth is watering.
Of course, it’s not all because of braised pork, white cut pork, stewed pig’s trotters, stewed pig’s feet with pig’s ears and pig’s head.
More because of these domesticated pigs, the breeding industry of Tianyuan tribe can be carried out in full swing.
The people on the other side also saw Chao Chen walking out of the cave, and it was obvious that he had brought his clansmen to wait here early in the morning.
Otherwise, when Chao Chen and the others came here yesterday, why didn't they see people from the Jie tribe coming here to herd pigs
When this group of people saw Chen Chao and the others come out, they all jumped up and down to say hello, and some of them held up the animal skins and said something loudly in their mouths "Ula Ula".
Probably because they were afraid that Chao Chen and the others wouldn't understand, they took out the river-filling beast/fish artifact they bought from them yesterday, and held it in mid-air, shaking and swinging it.
Seeing their excitement, Super Chen just jumped up and waved his hands casually a few times to perfunctory them, then led Qu and Li Nong into the forest behind to find suitable wood.
And the group of people on the other side of the river saw that Chao Chen was carrying something in his hand, crawling in and out of the woods. They tried to say hello several times, but they were obviously busy and didn't see the greetings from their group.
After finding a few tallest logs and marking them, Chen Chao brought Qu and Li Nong back to the cave.
At this time, the little old man and the others prepared breakfast.
After a hasty breakfast, Chen Chao asked the little old man to stay in the cave with a few people from the Tianyuan tribe. He took all the rest of the people into the woods, half of them were responsible for cutting down trees, and the other half were responsible for carrying the logs one by one to the river.
After the first big tree was cut down, Chen Chao asked Qu and Li Nong to rest for a while, and explained whether he wanted to cut down the second tree or not, and waited for his own news.
After explaining, Chen Chao took more than half of the people and began to move the big tree that was at least fifteen meters long to the side of the big river.
After moving the big tree to the river, he looked at the team behind him, and they seemed to be in good condition.
After all, the distance to carry the wood is not very long, it is estimated to be less than a kilometer. Moreover, there are a lot of people carrying it together, so the weight shared by everyone is actually fine.
So Chen Chao asked loudly, "Are you tired?"
Followed by Cao Jia, Cao B and others' sparse replies, "Not tired!"
The state is fine, but the strength of this answer makes him not satisfied. So Chen Chao asked with a louder voice, "Are you tired, speak louder?!"
"Not tired!" This time the answer was almost roaring, among which the voices of Cao A and Cao B were the loudest.
Chen Chao was satisfied this time.
But the people on the other side were not so satisfied, this loud roar almost startled them!
Even the flower pigs and black pigs they rushed over subconsciously groaned twice.
They were very puzzled by the strange behavior of these people. If they didn't hurry forward to bypass the big river, what were they still doing here carrying logs
And can such a large log be picked up in the opposite forest
But what is the use of them picking up such a large log? Is it going to be a bonfire
Or do you want to swim over with this log
No way, it’s such a cold day, swimming over here, is it fatal
And the ice has not completely thawed, even if they want to swim, they can't swim!
It's also because they came at the wrong time. If they came earlier or later, wouldn't they be able to come over? !
I have to rush in these few days, and I don't want to take a few more detours. Isn't this a mess
Like those tribes or 'caravans' who came here before, they all walked for a few days and tried to find a way to bypass this big river. At present, it seems that only the group of people who came here are different, and they are messing around here!
Just wait, it is estimated that today will be a day of tossing, and tomorrow will continue to move forward, just like those people in the past, take a detour for a few days~
Otherwise, if they mess around here, they won't be able to make it through spring!
It is true that you can cross the river with a log, but that must be in summer!
The water is not cold in summer, how about doing this in winter
Don't die
And Chen Chao confirmed the status of Cao A, Cao B and others, and then continued, "Wait, I will call 'one two one', and you will follow along, and we will find a way to push the log to the other side of the river." go."
"Okay." There was another loud reply.
Leading the crowd to push the front half of the log into the river, Super Chen checked it visually, and the length should be enough.
But because you can only control one side, it looks straight at the moment, but if you push all the way in, it might not be possible. At that time, it is very likely that the whole log will lie on the river full of crushed ice at an inclined angle, and it will not match the simple wooden bridge I want at all.
"One-two-one-push!" Super Chen shouted slogans, while leading the crowd to push forward carefully.
Once there is an ice floe that collides with it, the whole log must be pushed towards the other side, and it cannot be pushed too far forward at once. If it is too far forward, the center of gravity of the whole log will easily become unstable, and it will all tilt down directly.
"One-two-one-" Cao A and Cao B read the slogan following Super Chen's voice, and carefully controlled the progress and direction of their progress following his movements.
Standing at the very front, Super Chen felt like sweat was coming out of his forehead.
As for the Jie tribe on the other side, although they couldn't understand what these strange people were doing, it didn't prevent them from sweating.
When the wood on the other side was about to touch the other side, an accident happened!
A gust of wind came from nowhere, shaking the river and pushing all the ice floes forward!
As a result, the wood that was about to reach the opposite bank also tilted to the right and rotated at an angle of about 30 degrees under uncontrollable circumstances!
