When everyone arrived, everyone planned to go into the mountains the next day.
Zhaonan and Zhong Ming were experienced in arranging people. More than 200 young and middle-aged people from the Guzhu tribe who needed to be brought into the mountains to help with felling were handed over to them to arrange and distribute them properly.
All the saws, axes, hatchets, hemp ropes, etc. were clearly distributed to everyone. Everyone simply brought some dry food and a change of clothes. Everyone set off the next day before it was quite bright. Hurry up on the road and you will be ready around noon the day after tomorrow.
arrive.
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng also set off with the others.
Although the fleet is fast, the boats are limited. Each boat can only carry about ten people. It is better to walk, which takes a day and a half.
By the time they arrived at the mountain, the mountain had completely changed under Zhong Jing's arrangements.
The station was located in a valley, even built with stones and surrounded by a low wall of clay. There were many traps and piles of thorn barriers set around it.
The people in the valley used local materials to build a shed with bamboo and wood, and the top was covered with bark and thatch. There was even a simple kitchen, with a stove made of dug earth, and a simple operating table beside it for cutting vegetables and placing various items.
Plant condiments and so on.
Even the road from this area to the river was cleared by Zhong Jing.
In short, this valley is pretty decent. Although it is simple, everything is ready.
Zhong Jing even thoughtfully prepared a separate residence for her, Zhou Hansheng, Yu Xiaofang, Hu Ling and others.
Yu Xiaofang needs to store and dry various medicinal materials. Zhao Liya is a woman and Zhou Hansheng is the eldest brother. Hu Ling has to accompany Zhao Liya so that he can rest assured. This arrangement is the most appropriate.
Li Ying and eight women also came together. From now on, they will be responsible for cooking. It is not appropriate to live with a group of big men, so they will also be with Zhao Liya and the others.
This was all planned and arranged by Zhong Jing. Although Liying and the others had no concept of male-female defense at all, it didn't matter even if they lived with the men of the tribe.
Zhao Liya looked in admiration. He was indeed a leader. He was in charge of such a large military camp. It was certainly not difficult for him to arrange such a small thing.
Now that everyone is here, work will start tomorrow.
When working in the mountains, of course the faster the better.
Moreover, Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng, Zhong Jing and others also want to get things done and go back as soon as possible. They cannot stay here for too long.
In particular, Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Yu Xiaofang are still guilty, and Zhou Hansheng still has many important things to do.
Zhong Jing divided everyone into groups of ten people and appointed a group leader. He, Zhao Nan, Zhong Ming, Li Zhu and other leaders arranged and assigned each group.
The things that were cut down, those that trimmed the branches and leaves, those that were carried down the mountain, and those that were transported to the river were all arranged in an orderly manner.
Because the place where the yellow rosewood grows is very large, and the mutual operations will not affect each other, six teams were arranged to cut down, ten teams to trim the branches and leaves, and seven teams to transport the treated trees down the mountain and pile them at the foot of the mountain.
Seven teams carried the trees at the foot of the mountain to the river.
Zhong Jing and Zhou Hansheng's subordinates also helped. They worked in groups of five and helped wherever needed. They also had to take turns to go hunting every day. They had to have a big harvest to ensure that everyone had meat to eat every day, so that they would have the strength to do it.
Work.
Zhou Hansheng specially sent three people to follow Yu Xiaofang to collect herbs, protect him, and help him get things.
The resources of medicinal materials in this mountain are simply not too rich. Not only are they abundant in quantity, but they are also of good quality. Many of them, which Yu Xiaofang had only heard about in medical books or from his master, were found here, which he had never seen before.
Yu Xiaofang was so happy that she almost went crazy. She felt refreshed, radiant, and cheerful every day, grinning from ear to ear.
Of course, Zhou Hansheng had agreed with him that he would be responsible for everyone's search for medical medication. Whether they were accidentally injured or poisoned by poisonous snakes, insects, ants, etc., he had to take care of it.
Yu Xiaofang patted her chest and promised that she would go out early and come back late every day, so that she could give birth to as many babies as she could.
Zhao Liya would either go hunting every day, or follow Yu Xiaofang to collect herbs and learn to recognize some medicinal materials from him, or stay in the camp to help cook. Every afternoon, she would count the wood delivered to the dock with Zhou Hansheng and Zhong Jing every afternoon.
There are abundant wild animals in the mountains, and hunting is very easy, especially for an expert like Zhou Hansheng.
Within two days, a group of wild sheep was discovered and a beautiful siege was carried out. Twelve wild sheep were hunted that day. Zhao Liya also took a bow and shot one of them, although it took Zhou Hansheng to add an arrow before killing one.
Yes, but it was enough to excite her.
Twelve wild sheep, the smallest one weighed about twenty pounds, and the big one weighed more than forty pounds, which made everyone very happy.
Li Ying and the others pulled a lot of wild onions by the water, and stewed mutton and haggis in two large iron pots. Zhao Liya put cinnamon, fennel, star anise, licorice, ginger and other seasonings into the pot.
The fragrance is so fragrant that no one who sees it will be greedy for it.
After hunting sheep for a day, Zhao Liya seemed to have an enlightenment. She felt like she had an epiphany, so she asked Zhou Hansheng to take her out hunting every day. While she was having an enlightenment, she would rush in and maybe break through.
Did quantitative change lead to qualitative change?
Then wouldn’t he also become a master?
Don’t you have to worry about eating meat in the future?
Zhou Hansheng seemed to be aware of it, and said to her with a smile: "Aya's current state is the best to break through. Don't be anxious, let's practice slowly."
Zhao Liya became even more confident: "Well, okay!"
Brother Zhou is an expert. If he says it can be done, it will be done.
The two of them did not stay with others and acted alone to facilitate practice.
Two days later, Zhao Liya suddenly opened the orifice for a moment, and shot out an arrow steadily. The arrow broke through the air with great force, and a pheasant screamed and flapped its wings and fell to the ground, unable to escape again.
Zhao Liya jumped for joy: "I hit it! Brother Zhou, I hunted the pheasant myself!"
"Well, Aya is great!"
Zhou Hansheng picked up the pheasant and praised with a smile: "Aya is very talented. She has achieved this after only studying for so long. She is much better than me."
"real?"
Zhao Liya's eyes were shining and her lips were raised. Although she didn't believe it and thought Brother Zhou was just trying to make her happy, she was really coaxed and happy!
Zhou Hansheng smiled, with gentle eyes and gentle but firm tone: "Of course it's true!"
Zhao Liya giggled.
In the blink of an eye, six days later, the stacked huanghuali wood was already as large as a hill. This morning, everyone decided to transport a batch.
This was the first time the wood was released. Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng followed them personally. Not only they, they also brought twenty or thirty people with them to prepare for emergencies.
