sleep forever

At noon the next day, the villagers dug up six elemental crystal pillars nearly 14 meters high, each of which was so heavy that it took more than 30 people to lift each one.After transporting two of them down to the fields at the foot of the mountain, the villagers who were working were yelling that they were exhausted.

Chen Xiansong thought for a while, and asked them to stop and go to the mountain to cut some logs and come back.Ryan, who was shot in the knee, was a little unclear about Chen Xiansong's plan. Now that he knew that his lord was very talkative, he asked curiously, "Master, what are you doing logging in the mountains? Now every household has no shortage of firewood for cooking."

"Of course it is used to transport the excavated elemental crystal stones." Chen Xiansong looked at the surrounding villagers who were sitting and resting: "How many people can continue to work now?"

"As long as they take a break at noon, they can continue to work." Ryan said with a smile: "Master, show me the bottom line, cut down the logs, how can I transport those heavy elemental crystal stones away? "

"The rolling log principle, have you heard of it?"

Ryan shook his head: "I really haven't heard of it."

Chen Xiansong was a little embarrassed: "That's a little hard to explain..." At this time Alice came to ask Chen Xiansong to go home for lunch, and he said perfunctorily: "Anyway, wait until you chop the wood, and then you will understand , I'm going back to eat, let's have a meal together, Ryan."

"No, no, you're too polite, master, I've already eaten, thank you." Ryan flattered and refused.He knows that his master is quite kind, even if he goes to have a meal, it will be nothing, and it can even be used as bragging capital, but a person must be self-aware, and the leader and the lord eat at the same table. If people outside know, it will be bad luck The person in this world will not be the lord, but only suffer like himself haha.

After having lunch at noon and resting for a while, Ryan organized some people to go up the mountain to cut wood.

Because it snowed heavily yesterday, the snow layer accumulated on the mountain is now thick enough to submerge the feet of normal people. More than 20 strong men were wearing thick padded jackets, walking in the mountains and forests with deep feet and shallow feet.Logging in this environment is not a good choice, it is very hard.But the villagers didn't have many complaints. Firstly, Chen Xiansong has a good reputation now. Doing something for such a lord will not make people have any resistance. After all, it is not like going to the battlefield and killing people. , It's just hard work, they feel that they have no other specialties, they just have a lot of strength.

Secondly, Chen Xiansong paid a lot of wages, and every household that participated in the work received half a catty of waxed meat every day. Such a good thing could not be found in other manors even with a lantern.

Ryan walked at the front of the team. Although he was hit by an arrow in the knee and it was a little inconvenient for him to walk, he was the most relaxed person in the team.After all, he used to be the deputy head of a mercenary regiment. Although he hasn't fought for a long time, his body transformed by the power of the earth is still much stronger than the general head and ordinary mercenaries.

The mountain forest after the snow is very quiet. From time to time, there is the rustling sound of snowballs falling from the canopy, but other than that, there is not even a bird song. Walking in it, if you don’t say something, you will always feel a little distracted. rather.Jack, who was familiar with him behind him, came up and asked curiously: "Brother Ryan, is it too whimsical for the lord to grow vegetables in winter this time, or is the lord capable of magic? How do you compare with the lord?" Cook, do you know something inside?"

How could Ryan know the inside story, but as long as people have vanity.Jack said 'the lord is familiar with', of course he can't refute casually, otherwise it would be embarrassing: "Haha, the only ones who can speak in front of the lord are the wives of the lord, then Balfe, and then me Not to mention, I really know something about the lord's incident this time... Do you want to hear it?"

Life in the village is extremely monotonous, working at sunrise and sleeping at dusk, and the only life adjustments are all kinds of gossip.Hearing Ryan's appetizing words, the people behind immediately pricked up their ears and looked at him eagerly.Ryan walked back and saw this situation, his vanity was greatly satisfied: "Let me tell you, the master has mastered a strange magic... You should know that the master is the soul Thinker."

A group of big men nodded in unison, and Jack whispered in the back, "I've often heard the name Soul Thinker, but I don't know exactly what a Soul Thinker is, Brother Ryan, you You have so much knowledge, tell us about it.”

Ryan didn't know much about soul thinkers, so he could only say what he knew, and then started rambling: "Soul thinkers are children who were born when the sun god played in human beings before meeting a beautiful girl and falling in love at first sight. , the original soul thinkers were demigods, but after thousands of years, they gradually became weaker after having children with us ordinary people, but they still inherited the wisdom of the sun god, as well as some things imprinted in their blood. The unique magic here... Our lord is also such a person, this time what the master wants to do to grow vegetables in winter, I think it will be successful..."

A group of people suddenly realized: it turns out that soul thinkers are such a thing, no wonder even the nobles have to sell their face.

Jack exclaimed: "It turns out that our lord is so powerful. It's ridiculous that we wanted to fight against him... Since we are the descendants of the Sun God, it might be possible for the lord to grow vegetables in winter... Big Winter vegetables make my mouth water when I think about them, and I’m getting tired of eating meat recently.”

"You boy, why are you talking so awkwardly? I'm tired of eating meat. Who do you think you are, just a poor kid." Ryan was a little confused: "If we hadn't met a good lord, maybe we are still alive now. If you are starving, you will have such nice cotton clothes to wear and meat to eat..."

Jack clarified vigorously: "Brother Ryan, I'm just talking casually. The lord is kind to us poor people. Of course I understand that. If anyone wants to make trouble with the lord in the future, I, Jack, will be the first to say no."

"Slick" Ryan turned his head and kicked Jack with a smile.

In the afternoon, Ryan and others carried a dozen or so logs down from the mountain, plus there were still some construction logs left in the village, which was enough.Chen Xiansong just woke up from a nap, so he directed the villagers to place the logs at a distance, then pushed the elemental crystal stones up, and slowly rolled towards the farmland.

Although it was still a bit slow, it was much easier than more than 30 people raising their heads and walking with an elemental crystal.The working villagers were very interested in this novel method, and they all learned it in a decent manner. The active children also worked together to help lift the fallen log and put it in front of the elemental crystal.

While pushing the elemental crystal forward, Jack smacked his tongue and said, "The lord can think of such a method. He really deserves to be a descendant of the Sun God."

In front of the tent, not long after he came back from Heitu City, Chen Zeyi watched the villagers use rolling logs to carry elemental crystals, his eyes flashed an inexplicable light: "This method of transporting things is unheard of, can it be used in other ways... Tsk... ..." He patted his painful head vigorously, because of the strange negative effect on the right side of his brain due to the subconscious association.

"This uncle... Who came up with your method of transporting things?" Chen Zeyi grabbed the old man, and then quietly handed him a silver coin: "It looks very novel to me, can you tell me, of course?" , if it’s the village’s secret technique, just treat me as abrupt.”

"Our lord thought it out." The old man touched the silver coin in his hand and laughed, showing black and yellow teeth out of his mouth.

Chen Zeyi was a little surprised: "Your lord?"

"Yeah." The old man looked at each other with a look of 'you don't know': "Our lord is a soul thinker, hehe, this is a fact that everyone around here knows, and you have been here for a while Oh, have you never heard of it?"

Soul thinker?Chen Zeyi was stunned, he had never heard of it.The villagers pushed huge elemental crystals past him, and the harsh labor cries woke him up.He looked at the two waterwheels in the distance, and then quickly returned to his tent.

"Guang Rong, do you know that Chen Xiansong is a soul thinker?" Chen Zeyi looked at his nephew who was lazily hiding in the tent to warm himself up from the cold.

Chen Guangrong's reaction was exactly the same as Chen Zerong's, he was very surprised: "He is a soul thinker, this is unlikely."

Chen Zeyi stared at him dissatisfied: "I asked you to investigate Chen Xiansong's details when you have time. Since he has this identity, there will definitely be a record of him in the association of Heitu City, and you have nothing about it." Yeah, it looks like you didn't do anything."

"Uncle Liu, I..." Chen Guangrong was embarrassed, he couldn't say anything, after visiting the lord's mansion, he ran to the flower street in the city to make a fuss.Chen Xiansong's affairs, in his opinion, are far less important than his own happiness.

"Forget it." Chen Zeyi glared at his nephew again with hatred: "Since this guy is a soul thinker, then I understand the reason why Heluo City has kept a low profile for the past 20 years. He is definitely the most orthodox heir , no wonder he has such a beautiful maid by his side... No wonder he became a small leader in Kate Kingdom. They were all escaped by him, and he also killed a large number of troops along the way. For a long time, many people have been puzzled, how does a child from a poor family understand the study of warfare... It all makes sense. If the Chen family gains power with this chess piece, maybe our Cathay Kingdom will have to change our surname to 'Chen' in the future."

Chen Guangrong was terrified when he heard this: "The Heluo Chen family will not be so shrewd."

"Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished..." Chen Zeyi's eyes were shining brightly: "If our Chen family also has a soul thinker, if he is also good at warfare... This business of stealing the country, we dare to do it and have to do it." ".
