Sun Qing smiled slightly and said in a lower voice, "Let's leave this job to Chen Xiaobei. The strong labor force in the city only costs five coppers a day, so we'll give him ten or twenty wages."
"
"As long as this chain bridge can be built, Master will not care who built it."
Sun Jian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, "Well, that's a good idea."
After leaving Qingniu Mountain, Sun Jian took the opportunity to propose going to the county town to buy iron ropes and waved goodbye to Miao Qingfeng and others.
Seeing Miao Qingfeng and Hongyun Laodao walking away, Sun Jian, Sun Qun and others looked at each other, chuckled, turned around and ran towards Hetou Village.
Sun Jian came to visit early in the morning. Chen Xiaobei understood instantly that Sun Jian and his friends were designated to enter the mountain yesterday.
It's strange, haven't Sun Jian and the others already reached the top of the mountain? Why are they still entering the mountain?
When Sun Jian saw that Chen Xiaobei was still enthusiastic, they started fighting all the way.
Cui Hongyu quickly picked up Chen Qiaoer, and the two of them went out of the yard to water the vegetable field behind the village.
It can be seen that Cui Hongyu is still afraid of Sun Jian.
"Brother Sun, what brought you here?" Chen Xiaobei asked tentatively.
Sun Jian laughed twice again, "I'm here to ask Brother Xiaobei for a favor."
Chen Xiaobei gets a headache when he hears the word "help", but nothing is easy for anyone who says "help".
"Brother Sun, please tell me, I will do my best."
"Brother Xiaobei, I went into the mountain yesterday and saw two ropes nailed to a canyon. We must have done it." Sun Jian didn't hide anything and went straight to the point.
Chen Xiaobei said in his heart that he had been a thief for three years, and you finally said it yourself.
"Yes, Brother Sun, you don't know how hard it is to get those two ropes."
Sun Jian nodded, "That's why I'm here. I want to ask you to help build an iron chain bridge. It will make it easier to get in and out of the mountains in the future."
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he was secretly surprised. It seemed that they had to go up the mountain frequently to build the cable bridge.
But then I thought about it, even if I didn't build this cable bridge, wouldn't Sun Jian and the others stop going up the mountain? No, it's impossible.
Therefore, even if you don't take this job, you will only lose an opportunity to make money in vain. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity and kill Sun Jian severely.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei frowned, "Brother Sun, we have never done this thing before, and we don't know how to build it. Besides, we don't have iron chains here, and we don't know how much we will use.
Let me tell you, just buying the chains is a big expense."
Chen Xiao complained about Peking University, but Sun Jian understood very well that he was asking for money.
"Brother Xiaobei, don't worry. I'll take care of the iron chain. As for the wages, tell me how much you plan to charge."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Okay, since we have talked about this with Brother Sun, we can settle the accounts with our brothers. The wages are twenty coppers a day, but the cost of transporting materials to the mountain is extra."
Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "How good of you, Chen Xiaobei, you can calculate it in such detail for me."
Chen Xiaobei spread his hands, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Brother Sun, you don't know the specific situation. To transport materials to the mountain, you need special loaders, and they don't follow your calculations."
Sun Jian really believed the serious nonsense. He touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Oh, you see, I was careless. Then, I will prepare two hundred taels of silver for you first."
After seeing off Sun Jian, Chen Xiaobei hurried to the vegetable patch behind the house to find Cui Hongyu.
Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer have almost finished watering the vegetable field.
Chen Xiaobei knelt down and looked at the green leafy vegetables that were about to grow. He secretly sighed in his heart, time flies by, and another half a month has passed.
After waiting for a while, Cui Hongyu didn't speak, which made Chen Xiaobei a little strange. Wasn't Cui Hongyu curious about what Sun Jian was looking for?
Well, Cui Hongyu didn't speak, so he had to take the initiative, "Hongyu, what do you think Sun Jian came to do for me?"
Cui Hongyu looked up at Chen Xiaobei and smiled slightly, "Husband, no matter what you do, as long as you feel it is right!"
Look how considerate Cui Hongyu is.
"There is a canyon on the mountain, and he wants to build a chain bridge."
There was no change in Cui Hongyu's expression, and her words were still calm, "It must not be a bad thing. My husband often goes to the mountain and it should be of use to him."
Yes, it can be used too.
Chen Xiaobei's mind reappeared in the place where those big snakes were found.
There are ginseng there, and there are tens of miles around the main peak. It's not just a little treasure, so it doesn't hurt to go there more often when you have time.
Thinking of Cornus officinalis, Chen Xiaobei remembered his promise and promised to dig up some Cornus officinalis and send them to Da Laohei.
Of course, digging dogwood doesn’t have to be as troublesome as going through the canyon, as it can be found in Calabash Valley.
Yes, repay the favor, and the sooner the better.
Yes, you can collect the vegetables. I'll give him a few more kilograms of vegetables on the way. After all, I received five hundred taels of silver from him.
At this moment, Chen Xiaowen, a team member from the Houchun Village, hurried over and said, "Brother Xiaobei, go and have a look. The two little wolves in the woods to the west of the village have fallen ill."
Chen Xiaobei stood up quickly and followed Chen Xiaowen to the outside of the village. After feeding the wolf cubs once, he handed over the job to the village guards, who took turns releasing some into the woods every night.
Children's food.
When patrolling, go to the woods and take a look.
Today, Chen Xiaowen went on patrol in the woods and saw two little wolves lying there, so weak that they could no longer stand up.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, the two wolves just opened their eyes and looked around, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
But he just opened his eyes and took a look, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.
Chen Xiaobei stepped forward again and tentatively touched the back of a little wolf with his hand.
The little wolf just squirmed a few times. It was obvious that the little wolf wanted to resist, so Chen Xiaobei used a gentler technique and slapped the little wolf's body again a few times.
Under his gentle movements, the little wolf gradually became quiet. After making sure that the little wolf would no longer struggle, Chen Xiaobei gently picked up the wolf.
The little wolf didn't even resist, but instead crawled into his arms.
Chen Xiaowen also followed suit and picked up the other one, and the two returned home one after the other.
Cui Hongyu also came back at this time. He was shocked when he saw them carrying the wolf back. Chen Qiaoer was even more frightened and hid behind Cui Hongyu.
"Don't be afraid, Qiaoer, the little wolves are sick and they can't even stand up."
Chen Qiaoer timidly stepped forward, tentatively stretched out her hand, and gently touched the wolf's tail. The little wolf remained motionless, not even opening its eyes.
Cui Hongyu came forward and put his hand under Xiaolang's neck to try.
"I have a fever."
Chen Xiaobei looked at Cui Hongyu expectantly, but Cui Hongyu's next words made him even more disappointed.
