Chapter 151 Precious Wood
Everyone is here, and everyone plans to enter the mountain the next day.
Zhao Nan and Zhong Ming have experience in leading and arranging people, and more than 200 young and middle-aged people from the Guzhu tribe who need to be brought into the mountains to help in logging have been handed over to them for arrangement and distribution.
All the saws, axes, hatchets, hemp ropes, etc. were clearly distributed among the people. Everyone simply brought some dry food and a change of clothes for each person. The next day, everyone set off before it was too bright. Hurry up on the road, and it will be around noon the day after tomorrow. arrive.
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng also set off with the big guys.
Although the fleet is fast, the number of ships is limited. A ship can only carry about ten people. It is better to walk, and it takes one and a half days to arrive.
By the time they arrived at the mountain, the mountain had completely changed under Zhong Jing's arrangements.
The station is in a valley, and even a low wall was built with stones and clay rammed to surround it. Many traps were set up around it, and there were piles of thorns to separate them.
Gu Zhong used local materials to build a shed with bamboo and wood, and the roof was covered with bark and thatch. There was even a simple kitchen. A condiment or something.
Even the road from this area to the big river was cleared by Zhong Jing and others
In short, this valley looks decent. Although it is simple, everything is ready.
Zhong Jing even thoughtfully prepared another 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 can only rest assured if he is with Zhao Liya. This arrangement is the most appropriate.
Li Ying and eight women also came with them, and they will be responsible for cooking in the future. It is not appropriate to live with a group of old men, so they will also be with Zhao Liya and the others.
This was all well thought out and arranged by Zhong Jing, even though Liying and the others had no concept of male and female defense at all, it didn't matter even if they lived with those guys from the tribe.
Zhao Liya looked in admiration, as expected of the leader of the army, in charge of such a large military camp, arranging such a small matter, of course, can't trouble him.
Since everyone has arrived, work will start tomorrow.
Working in the mountains, of course, the sooner the better.
And Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng, Zhong Jing and the others also want to get things done and go back quickly. They can't stay here for too long.
Especially 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 a group of ten people, and appointed a group leader. He, Zhao Nan, Zhong Ming, Li Zhu, etc. were in charge and arranged for each group.
The arrangements for felling, pruning off branches and leaves, carrying down the mountain, and transporting to the riverside are well organized.
Because the area where huanghuali trees grow is very large, mutual operations will not affect each other, so six groups were arranged to cut down, ten groups to trim branches and leaves, and seven groups to transport the processed trees down the mountain and stack them at the foot of the mountain. Seven teams lifted the trees at the foot of the mountain to the river.
Zhong Jing and Zhou Hansheng's subordinates also helped, in groups of five, helping wherever they needed. And they have to take turns to go hunting every day. There must be a big harvest to ensure that the big guys have meat to eat every day, so that they can work hard.
Zhou Hansheng specially sent three people to follow Yu Xiaofang to gather medicine, protect him, and help him get things by the way.
Yu Xiaofang was so happy that she was going crazy. Every day, she was refreshed, radiant, and elated, with her mouth grinning up to her ears.
Of course, Zhou Hansheng told him that he is responsible for everyone’s search for medical medicine, whether it is accidental trauma or poisoning by poisonous snakes, insects, etc., he has to take care of it.
Yu Xiaofang patted his chest and promised that if he leaves early and returns late every day, he will be able to give birth to a handful more.
Zhao Liya either went hunting every day, or followed Yu Xiaofang to collect herbs, and learned some medicinal materials from him by the way, or stayed in the camp to help cook, and every afternoon together with Zhou Hansheng and Zhong Jing, counted how much wood was transported to the dock that day.
The mountains are rich in wild animals, and hunting is very easy, especially for a master like Zhou Hansheng.
Within two days, a group of wild sheep was found, and a beautiful siege was carried out. Twelve wild sheep were hunted that day, and Zhao Liya also shot one with a bow, although it was Zhou Hansheng who shot it to death. Yes, but enough to get her excited.
There were twelve wild sheep, the smallest weighed about 20 catties, and the largest weighed over 40 catties, 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, **** and other seasonings into the pot. Xiang, whoever sees it will not let Ha Lazi get greedy.
After hunting the sheep for one day, Zhao Liya seemed to have opened up. She felt that she had a little epiphany, so she asked Zhou Hansheng to take her out hunting every day. Take advantage of the moment when you have a bit of enlightenment and epiphany. Maybe you will break through the key point and lead to a qualitative change from a quantitative change?
Then wouldn't he also become a master?
Don’t 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 way to break through. Don't worry, let's practice slowly."
Zhao Liya became more confident: "Well, good!"
Brother Zhou is an expert, if he says it will work, it will work.
The two of them did not stay with others, and acted alone, which was convenient for practice.
Two days later, Zhao Liya suddenly passed through the orifice for a moment, and shot an arrow steadily.
Zhao Liya was overjoyed and jumped on the spot: "I hit it! Brother Zhou, I hunted a pheasant myself!"
"Well, Aya is amazing!"
Zhou Hansheng picked up the pheasant and praised with a smile: "Aya is very talented, and she has achieved this after only studying for so long, much better than me."
"real?"
Zhao Liya's eyes were shining, and the corners of her lips were raised high. Although she didn't believe it, she felt that Brother Zhou was trying to make her happy, but she was really made to do so, so happy!
Zhou Hansheng smiled, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was gentle and firm: "Of course it is true!"
Zhao Liya giggled.
In the blink of an eye, six days later, the piles of huanghuali wood piled up like a hill. This morning, everyone decided to send a batch out.
This is the first time to put the wood back, Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng followed in person, not only them, but also brought 20 or 30 people to follow, in case of emergencies.
