Chapter 192 The young man being ridiculed

Plant in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn, and store in winter.

The emergence of farming has made the history of that world revolve around these eight characters. Although there is no obvious division of solar terms in the location of the tribe, the farming method has never left these eight characters.

The corn planted is people's hope for a better life in the future.

The sowing after the rain saves the heavy watering work, at least before the corn sprouts, people can relax for a while.

A large number of people were spared, except for some people who were sent to build the wall, and some people were sent by Wang Lang to transport copper ore.

With such a large population increase, there is a serious shortage of weapons and tools in the tribe. Often only two or three people can have a metal tool. As for weapons, only soldiers can have them.

In order to solve this problem, Wang Lang sent a team of Kong Yi to drive all the deer carts to the Dongfang Mine on the second day after sowing the seeds.

A team of four or 50 people walked slowly on the grassland.

The creaking deer cart made an unpleasant friction sound.

There is no road on the grassland, and the wheels of the deer cart often get stuck in small pits. At this time, it often takes a dozen people to work together to lift the cart and move on.

Soldiers held weapons and guarded the perimeter of the team, and workers pushed the deer cart forward with sweat.

This kind of primitive vehicle is extremely inflexible to use. Even if you encounter a one-meter-wide stream, it is very troublesome to cross it.

After a day of stop and go, the team came to the creek where Wang Lang set fire to it for the first time.

Kong Yi looked at the small river in front of him, he was somewhat sure about how to get through this terrain, the previous transportation provided him with a lot of experience.

"Take off the wooden boards from the cart, set it up on the river, unload the cart, and push the cart along the wooden boards to cross the river." Kong Yi commanded the crowd calmly.

After being busy for a while, a simple wooden bridge more than two meters wide was built. The soldiers led the giant deer to cross the river first, and the rest of the workers, in groups of several, pushed their vehicles onto the wooden bridge carefully.

The heavy wheels creaked and creaked on the wooden boards, as if the simple bridge would break at any moment.

In the short distance of one meter, everyone walked in fear. If the board broke and such a heavy vehicle fell on them, they would definitely be killed or injured.

Fortunately, the bottom of the wooden plank is not suspended, and there are three round wooden piers of the same height side by side under the double-layer wooden plank, and these wooden piers distribute most of the weight.

Passing the creek without any risk, Kong Yi asked people to unload the materials for the bridge and put them on the deer cart. After harnessing the giant deer, the team continued to slowly move towards the east.

On the way, a young worker frowned and stared at the rolling wheels, looking hard to think.

The companion beside him saw that he was like this all the way, and finally couldn't help asking: "You have been staring at the wheels not long after you left the tribe, what's the matter?"

The young man shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that there is something wrong with this wheel."

The companion looked at the wheel, but found nothing wrong, looked at the young man suspiciously, and said, "There is nothing wrong, isn't this very good, how fast this wheel spins."

The young man smiled and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. This is the car made by the chief. How can there be any problems?"

"Haha, that is, what the leader makes must be good." The companion laughed.

Although the young man said so, his eyes would still stare at the rolling wheels from time to time.

At night, the procession stopped before a small hillside, the soldiers lit a fire, and the workers began to prepare food for the night.

After a day of hard work, after eating and drinking, most of the people, except for the night watchmen, have already gone to sleep.

In the dark night, the young man Kan En who was staring at the wheels during the day turned over and over with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep.

Looking at the starry night sky, the young man asked himself, "Where is the problem?"

"The wheels are rolling and the vehicle is moving forward. There seems to be no problem! But why do I always feel that something is wrong?" This doubt tormented him and he almost couldn't sleep or eat, as if there were many bugs crawling on his body.

The young man who couldn't sleep sat up, looked at Kong Yi who was chatting with the night watchman, hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and walked towards Kong Yi.

Kong Yi saw a worker who was staying up late at night, walking towards him, frowned, looked at the young man, and said, "Why don't you go to sleep."

Looking at Kong Yi, the young man felt a little nervous. It was the first time he had talked with such an important person in the tribe since he joined the tribe.

Swallowing, the young man bravely said, "Captain, I have some questions that I can't understand."

Kong Yi sneered, and said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. There is nothing in this world that you can figure out."

Kong Yi's attitude made the young man a little frustrated, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing the young man standing there without moving, Kong Yi said a little annoyed: "Tell me what's the matter, and go to bed after you finish talking, there is still a long way to go tomorrow."

"Captain, why do our wheels and axles spin together?" asked the young man.

Kong Yi and the rest of the night guard soldiers couldn't help but be taken aback after hearing what the young man said. What the hell kind of question is this? If I don’t sleep, I’m just thinking about this stupid question, how can the wheels turn without turning with the axle? How can I walk without turning!”

Looking at the people leaning forward and back laughing, the young man wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was the most stupid human being in the world. In the dark night, everyone couldn't see clearly. Very embarrassing.

"I see, Captain, I'm going to bed." The young man bowed to Kong Xing and quickly ran back to his place, lying on the ground to hide his stupidity just now under the darkness of night.

The team that hastily had breakfast in the morning continued on their way, as if the episode of last night had never happened, it was just that the young man from last night intentionally avoided the sight of Kong Yi and the soldiers on duty, hiding himself in the crowd.

A day later, the mining team came to the baobab forest. The forest was still the same as when it was the first time. Even the trees that had been cut out before had no visible scars. The self-healing ability of the bread tree It can be seen.

After replenishing the water source here, the team arrived at the copper mine at noon.

　Those who are interested can join the group, the group number is in the introduction.
