Chapter 244 The Yellow Emperor builds a boat

…………

When the people gathered around heard the child say that Huangdi had drowned, they suddenly showed incredible expressions.

Who is Huangdi?

The dignified co-leader of the human race helped the human race, defeated the most vicious men like Chi You and Xing Tian, ​​and also helped people do countless good deeds.

How could such a fierce man be drowned by this river?

The most angry ones are undoubtedly the parents of the children.

This child has learned to lie at such a young age, which is already a crime that deserves to be beaten.

It's just a lie, but he also cursed the human princess to drown. If the Yellow Emperor knew about this, even if the Yellow Emperor didn't care about the child in his family, would other ministers be able to let his child and his family go?

Thinking of this, the child's parents immediately dragged the child up and played the earliest mixed doubles match in human history.

However, contrary to the couple's expectations, the child who was usually very easy to discipline didn't know what happened today. He insisted that Huang Di had really fallen into the river and asked others to rush to rescue him.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense. The Yellow Emperor's martial arts are superb and he can kill even Chi You and Xing Tian. How could he fall into such a river and drown?"

The child's father quickly spoke up to stop his child from talking nonsense. The Yellow Emperor's prestige among the human race was too high, and such nonsense could easily arouse attacks from others.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Huang Di was just standing here when the cow jumped into the river. I was about to go in and catch it. Huang Di said that I was a child and was not safe and asked me to step aside."

"I heard he was the Yellow Emperor. I thought he was very powerful, so I stepped aside."

“At first, he was really good at walking on the water, and the water couldn’t touch him. But when he got to the cow, he suddenly fell into the water, and no matter how much I shouted, there was no movement. "

At this time, everyone present finally understood.

This kid probably didn't lie.

With Huang Di's ability, he could indeed walk on water.

However, what happened to make Huangdi sink to the bottom of the water for such a long time?

Just when everyone was astonished, a figure poked his head out from the river.

"I thought of it, I thought of it!"

The man shouted excitedly, then grabbed the reins on the cow's nose with one hand, stepped on the water, and walked towards the shore.

"Huang Di, what are you doing?"

"Yes, a child just said that you fell into the river and drowned, but that scared us to death!"

Seeing that someone had spoken out, the child's parents hurried over and apologized to Huang Di.

"Huang Di, I'm sorry. My child is too young and ignorant. He talks nonsense. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."

The parents were afraid that Huang Di or the people around him would anger their children, so they quickly apologized.

"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid."

"Not only did this child make no mistakes today, he also made merit."

"In a moment, you guys will go to the human race's treasury and collect five handfuls of rice as this child's reward today."

Huang Di said very generously.

At this time, the human race did not have a unified standard of weights and measures, or in other words, there was no standard of weights and measures.

This led to the fact that when Huangdi rewarded the child, he used the unit of "hand".

After Huang Di explained his purpose of entering the water to the surrounding crowd, everyone also understood Huang Di's intention.

"Huang Di, so you have thought of a way?"

"You are amazing!"

"In such a short time, I came up with a solution!"

"As expected of the Yellow Emperor, it's great. You don't have to worry about crossing the river in the future."

The people present went away excitedly.

Huang Di returned to the woods, waved his Xuanyuan Sword, and chopped down a big tree.

After cutting them down, Huang Di waved the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand. After a few sword blows, two strange-looking things appeared in Huang Di's hands. It looks like an extended version of cow legs and hooves.

A long handle, the bottom is rectangular, much wider than the upper part.

"Okay, take it back and try it."

Thinking of this, Huangdi flew up and returned to his palace.

"Ministers, I'm going to try out my latest discovery. Are you interested in joining me?"

As soon as Huang Di finished speaking, all the ministers looked expectantly and expressed their willingness.

"Huang Di, what do you want to test and where is it?"

"I'll go see it with you now and see what it is?"

Huang Di nodded after listening.

This latest invention relies on one’s own words, and I don’t know when it will spread.

For this plan, relying on the ministers in front of me and spreading word of mouth, the efficiency can be improved many times.

"Let's go to the river."

Huang Di said, reaching out and grabbing the big piece of wood.

"It seems that Huang Di's invention this time is related to this big piece of wood?"

"That's right. Huang Di is always worried today. What should I do if he can't walk on the water?"

"Then one day I got such a big piece of wood back. I have been competing with this big piece of wood for the past few days."

A minister who knew the situation immediately explained it to others.

Not long after, Huang Di led his people to the river.

Huang Di threw the big log into the river, then placed his feet into the groove of the big log and sat down.

Huang Di, who sat down, picked up a small piece of wood and started rowing on both sides of the boat.

To everyone's surprise, without Huang Di's extra effort, the big piece of wood actually turned around and headed towards the shore.

"Success!"

"Huang Emperor, that's great. From now on, we don't have to worry about the river blocking our way."

"Yeah, from now on, we can sit on this thing and catch fish in the river."

For a moment, the officials watching the excitement on the shore were so excited that they were speechless.

Huangdi was also very satisfied with his discovery.

He stopped fiddling, tapped his feet, and when he stood up, he grabbed the big log and landed on the shore.

As soon as he landed, Huang Di was welcomed as a hero.

"Huang Emperor, this is another great invention of yours. What did you name it?"

Historian Cangjie walked out of the crowd, holding a sharp stone and an animal bone in his hand, obviously wanting to record today's events.

Huang Di thought for a while, then looked at the big piece of wood next to him and the small piece of wood in his hand.

"Let's call this big one a boat."

"A boat is a boat, something used to cross a river."

"The small ones are called oars. They are used to propel the boat forward."

After listening to Huangdi's words, Cangjie honestly carved such a line of words on the animal bones with a sharp stone.

"In the Jiazi year, Huangdi invented the small boat and the oar, which made it easier to walk on the water than on flat ground."
