Chapter 218 Difficulties + Shipbuilding (2000 words)
The other orcs who were watching were stunned on the spot. They saw a big snake with great envy, and easily led the orcs to the other side.
And they were still floating in the rough river with a poor piece of driftwood in their arms.
Not only that, but these poor beasts have to raise their beating hearts at all times, and they are always on guard against being smashed into the river by huge waves.
Huge and terrifying shadows flashed from time to time in the deep water below them.
These are ferocious river and sea beasts, and they can swallow several orcs in one bite.
——The plot of An Jin's opening and leaving the back door made the orcs of other tribes envious, and they yelled cheating in their hearts.
……
river bank.
The drenched orcs hurriedly unloaded the cargo, and after wringing the water off their tails, they sat on the ground panting heavily.
The waves during this time were more ferocious than before. Fortunately, they met An Jin and Mi Yin, otherwise their trip would have been a disaster.
An Jin walked over, casually opened a animal skin bag and looked, and found some painted pottery and cloth inside.
These things are favored by other tribes or city orcs.
It is also the commodity with the most sales volume in the city under her command.
"Are you delivering goods to other cities?" Her face showed a bit of surprise.
Direct human transport on two legs?Is it so primitive and crude?
Even if they didn't drown in the river, the tens of thousands of kilometers would be enough for them to run to see the beast god.
Several orcs nodded, and they pointed to themselves, and then to the orcs who were still floating in the water.
"We and these orcs are all going to other cities to deliver goods, or to our own tribes and cities. Only by crossing this river can we reach our destination."
"Did you all transport like this before?" She couldn't help asking, her eyebrows furrowed deeper.
"Of course, otherwise how can we transport it?" The orcs scratched their heads and looked at her in confusion, "These goods cannot fly by themselves, so they will be transported by us orcs who are responsible for transportation, and then Return to the city.”
"Because of the long distance, the trip back and forth sometimes lasts for a whole month. We just find a cave to rest in the middle of the way, and then continue to run with the goods. The big river, alas... just like today, I have personally seen a few orcs thrown into the water by the waves, and then never came out again..." one of the orcs said sadly.
It was only then that An Jin remembered that there was no post station in the beast world, and there was no other more convenient means of transportation, so the orcs could only run all the way to their destination on two legs.
In the past two years, her development center has been focused on the business system and the enrichment of goods, and she did not consider the issue of express delivery.
Careless.
After resting for a while, the orcs picked up the cargo again and said goodbye to her.
There are more orcs from other cities on the river bank.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her silence, Min Yin thought she was in a bad mood, so he couldn't help but put his arm around her waist and asked softly.
"It's okay." An Jin shook his head.
She set her sights on those orcs who gradually drifted away, gradually leaving only a back figure, and finally disappeared into the dusk.
"Do you think this method of transporting goods solely by manpower is too backward and a waste of time? Besides, I don't know how many people died when we crossed such a dangerous river."
Mi Yin just wanted to say, "That's because they are too useless", but the words rolled down her throat, and she swallowed hurriedly, "Do you have other good ideas?"
There are always some weird ideas in her mind, which always amaze him.
"It's not a good idea, I'm just wondering if there are other ways to replace running on two legs? Look at this big river."
An Jin pointed to the past, "Can we create a tool that can directly let the orcs use this tool to cross the river safely?"
"..." Miyin tried hard to digest the message in her mouth, paused, and then said, "Driftwood?"
"Yes, the principle is actually the same, except that a piece of driftwood is too small. It can hardly carry the weight of many orcs and cargo."
"Then use more driftwood." Mi Yin resolutely said.
"It's okay to think so, but it's not easy to connect many driftwoods tightly together. We can build a ship, a large ship that can carry hundreds or thousands of people!"
"ferry?"
"Well! Go back first, this is a big project, we will think about it after we go back!"
After having a goal, the next two people hurried back to the city without any further delay.
Seeing her return, the orcs who were working at their jobs hurried over to greet them. An Jin nodded and said hello to them one by one before returning to his castle.
Ling Hong immediately came over after looking for her, "Why have you been gone for so long?" Seeing that her face was a little weak, he couldn't help hugging her heart and said, "I went there with you at the time."
"It's not a big deal, although it's quite dangerous, and it's also very magical..." An Jin told him everything that happened before.
"It's quite dangerous, but as long as you're fine."
Ling Hong's furrowed brows relaxed, he naturally took her other hand and walked forward, saying some happy things to soothe the atmosphere, "The Warcraft people in the city have also been wiped out by us, I will add The patrolling of the city has been strengthened, and from now on, no one will be allowed to enter the city again.”
"Yeah." She bent her eyebrows and smiled, "With you here, I'm always at ease."
Mi Yin glanced at the two of them with downcast eyes, then quietly clenched her other hand, and forcefully pulled her closer to him.
Go back to the castle.
Xi didn't know where she went to play, and she hasn't come back yet.
The lunch meal was already cold, so Ling Hong cooked some more and served it on the dining table.
Mi Yin and An Jin, who had been traveling long distances, finally managed to get a hot and delicious meal, and they were so proud of themselves that not even a single bite was left.
Already had a preliminary idea of building a ship in his mind, An Jin wanted to discuss it with the two of them, but his mind was a little dizzy.
Although the scars could heal on their own without too much treatment since she gained the orc qualities in her body, the fatigue in her body could only be relieved by rest.
Ling Hong sat on the edge of the bed, pressed her temples, and rubbed her shoulders, "Get some rest first. Those plans are not urgent. As long as you give your orders, I can take them to work at any time."
The man's voice was deep and hoarse, and the mellow and gentle voice made An Jin feel a little stupefied.
"Okay, I'll rest first. If you have anything else to do, you can call me..." She yawned.
Her bones were weak, she silently huddled herself under the quilt, An Jin planned to take a nap first.
"Well, go to sleep." Ling Hong tucked the quilt for her, gently smoothed the frown between her brows and eyes with his slightly callused and rough fingertips, and his deep and magnetic voice brought complete peace of mind.
Before sitting by the bed for a while, he got up again, closed the half-open window, and drew the curtains along the way.
