Chapter 41 41. Cutting wood

The days of riding the world are as clear as usual.

Since Zhang Qi came to this world, he has never seen it rain.

Ten miles away from Chaikan.

Zhang Qi sat on the edge of this big river with unknown name. The river surface was calm and was reflected by the sun and shook light.

Swing the rod and the fish hook into the water.

Today, the wolf cubs went out to cut down. After three or four days in the blacksmith shop, he also came out, and NPC soldiers came out together.

On both sides of Zhang Qi, there were dense forests, and the cubs were grunting and cutting down trees.

Hu Er led people to cut down, while Hu Ling led people to cut off the election.

Twenty-one wolf cubs were divided into two groups.

The same is true for NPCs, the champion shooter, the crossbowman sergeant is responsible for protecting the wolf cub, the Badanian savage and two costumes are guarding Zhang Qi.

Around the woods, hundreds of horses were tied to wooden stakes, and they were the main force in the haul.

The city on the grassland is different from the empire. The buildings here are small and there are many pottery, so Zhang Qi, who could not get free supplies in the city, focused his attention outside the city.

It was already noon in the city that left early in the morning. Twenty or thirty logs with cut off the tree branches were neatly placed on the ground, and Hu Ling and the others were working hard to divide them into several pieces.

Children cannot work faster than adults, and this still requires a lot of effort, so they are not doing it quickly.

Except for Hu Er, a talented guy, it often takes two or three hours for others to work together to cut down a big tree.

But that's fine. A big tree can refine dozens of units of charcoal in the blacksmith shop, and now nearly thirty logs are enough for him to use for a while.

All the wolf cubs were sweating profusely, and no one complained. Compared to working, they were more afraid of starvation and cold.

"Thirteen, let's have a rest, I'll do the rest."

The two cut down a tree, and a girl with many freckles on her face wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to a boy who was still working hard.

"Sister Ajiu, you can rest, I'll do it. You sprained your hand yesterday. The wolf king said that if you move around, you won't be able to get rid of it."

The boy named Thirteen did not obey the girl and continued to cut the gaps in the tree with the axe in his hand. Several new blisters were grown on his palms, and thick cocoons were also grinding out in the areas where there were no blisters.

Thirteen raised his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead and face. The sweat stains flowed into his eyes and felt aching.

After wiping his sweat, he continued to chop, and said while chopping, "Sister Ajiu, you are too. The wolf king has approved you to rest in the city. You still have to follow me. What if you hurt your hand again, what will you do in the future?"

"I know." Ajiu said while handing the chisel to Thiran to clean the wood chips.

"I'm afraid. Now I'm finally able to eat enough every day. If I don't work, what should I do if Wolf Lord doesn't want me anymore."

The two of them expanded the gap, and wet wood chips fell to the ground in large pieces.

When Thirteen heard Ajiu say this, he didn't say anything because he was also afraid.

The gap was cleared. Thirteen held the handle of the axe with his hands and continued to cut it up and down. After hearing the squeaking sounds in the trees, they pushed them away a few steps, walked to the other side of the trees, and shouted loudly.

"The tree is about to fall, pay attention!"

The two of them pressed on the tree trunk at the same time and pushed hard in one direction.

Crack.

A tree of fifteen or sixteen meters slowly fell towards the open space.

"Okay, you two have a rest, and leave the rest to Sister and the others."

The trees fell down, and Hu Yi walked over from the side and said, his face was covered with sweat.

Thirteen, Ajiu nodded and collapsed on the ground.

"Give it, Thirteen, thanks to you today."

After sitting on the ground, Ajiu took out an egg from her arms, which she hadn't finished eating in the morning and kept it on her.

Thirteen was not polite, took the egg from Ajiu's hand and started eating it. A small egg was swallowed by Thirteen in two or three mouthfuls. Ajiu handed it over to the water bag, and Thirteen took a big sip before he breathed a sigh of relief.

By the river, Zhang Qi's fishing rod started to shake. He swung his right hand and a river fish was pulled up by him.

Zhang Qi curled his lips and complained: "Born."

He came to fish to experience the fun, but the feedback from this world gave him is that if the fish hook enters the water, a fish will be caught within eight to fifteen minutes.

His feet were soaked in the water and could no longer be put.

He took the hook out of the fish's mouth and Zhang Qi threw the fish of unknown fish into the basket.

"Forget it, just treat it as a meal for the wolf cubs."

After putting away the fishing rod, Zhang Qi lost his character of fishing. Fishing in the world of riding and chopping is not at all challenging. There is no need to fight wits and courage with the fish. As long as the mechanical throwing rod is closed, it will be done.

The wolf cubs have already rested for most of the time, and the rest are all cut wood. A fifteen or sixteen-meter log will be divided into three parts and will be transported back by a pack horse later.

Those branches, thick enough, will be sent to the blacksmith shop for refining charcoal, while those slightly smaller will be dragged back to dry for fire.

Before the wolf cub was completely finished, Zhang Qi started looking around the river.

The river is quite wide, and it is almost two or three miles away from him to the other side of the river, and the other side of the river is the empire's situation.

The Kusettes fought with the empire almost never stopped, either from Makaib to burn and kill the empire or from the empire to send troops from Onira to enter the grassland.

The war between them has existed since the empire was still divided.

Zhang Qi looked at the river and wondered whether he could build a dock here and go out to the empire to enter the empire. In that case, their journey to the empire would be greatly shortened.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qi knew nothing about the ship. He had never seen the ship with his own eyes before traveling through time. The only thing he had contact with was the general outline in the film and television drama.

I don’t know how long I looked by the river, but he didn’t come back to his senses until Hu Ling came to Zhang Qi to report the situation.

"Wolf Lord, all the selected one hundred and twenty logs in total, and countless tree branches of all sizes."

Zhang Qi nodded, turned around and said to Hu Ling, "Try to take away all the horses. If you really can't drag them down, just put them here. From now on, this place will be a logging farm."

"Okay, Wolf Lord."

Hu Ling turned around and left and began to call the wolf cubs to trap horses. This is how they can operate in the world of riding and chopping. If it were the outside world, those horses would be exhausted to death.

When it comes time to move things, these NPC soldiers have a place to use their skills. If you ask them to cut trees, they can't understand such complicated instructions, but if you ask them to move things, they can help.

Forty people worked together, and it took less time. All the pack horses had already dragged two or three logs. Without a car, they could only work hard first.
