The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 7

"arrive."

Chen Fu pointed to a few simple wooden houses in front and wiped the sweat from his face.

Su Lin counted about a dozen simple wooden houses, which were already very dilapidated, not as good as the wooden houses built by the villagers in the camp.

After all, the villagers built it according to Su Lin's drawings, which is quite scientific and reasonable, but the houses of these hunters are a bit messy, even unreasonable.

A small village formed by more than a dozen families.

"The Dafu Continent is back, are there any surprises today?" An old man with a gray beard sitting at the entrance of the village asked with a smile.

"Uncle, I just caught a few wild rabbits, enough to eat for a day, and we brothers will go into the mountains tomorrow." Chen Fu smiled at the old man with a very respectful expression.

"Hehe, is there a guest?" The old man asked in surprise when he saw the three of Su Lin.

Su Lin smiled and saluted the old man.

Outsiders rarely come to the wild forests in the mountains, and no outsiders have been seen entering the mountains for several years.

"That's right, uncle, I met them while hunting, so I invited them to be our guests. I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to deal with these two rabbits to entertain guests." Chen Fu walked forward with a smile.

When Su Lin passed by the old man, the old man stopped Su Lin with a surprised expression.

"Girl stay here, I see that your heaven is full and the ground is round. How about I accept you as an apprentice?"

The corner of Su Lin's mouth twitched, recalling the plot in "Kung Fu".

One more sentence: The task of maintaining peace in the world is entrusted to you, okay?Take out a dozen cheat books, you are destined to me, and I will give you ten yuan for these cheat books.

"Senior, I'm not interested in martial arts." Su Lin is immortal now, what's the use of learning martial arts, besides, he has his subordinates to protect him.

"From my perspective, the girl must be a very noble person in the world. It's strange, how can you, a girl, have the appearance of a king?" The old man counted with his fingers, frowned and shook his head: "There must be something wrong."

"Senior was joking, and this junior will leave first." Su Lin smiled and followed Brother Chen Fu.

Ma Yun also looked at the crazy old man with a strange look from behind, like he was looking at a liar.

Wait until everyone leaves.

The old man closed his eyes and pinched his fingers to calculate, and then his eyes widened suddenly: "That's right, that girl's fate is clearly that of a king, what went wrong? I, Guiguzi, have studied physiognomy all my life, and I have never made a mistake. It's really weird."

The Chen Fu brothers led the way.

Su Lin followed behind and asked, "That old man was so strange just now, is he also from your village?"

"What are you talking about, Old Man Wang? He came to us two years ago and built a thatched house in the corner of our village to live in. He knows some words and teaches us how to read. He is still a good person, but his temper is a bit weird. "

It was Chen Lu who spoke, and he didn't say much all the way, but when he heard Su Lin's question, he replied.

"Old man Wang?"

Su Lin didn't care about it, thinking it was just a mountain wilderness.

While speaking, Su Lin followed the two brothers to the home.

"You brothers are back." A woman who was nearly thirty years old came over and was taken aback when she saw the three of Su Lin.

Su Lin saluted with a smile, and learned about the family situation of the Chen brothers on the way.

The father of both of them was conscripted into battle when they were very young and never returned.

The mother lost her husband and didn't want to lose her son, so she had to move the whole family into a sparsely populated mountain forest.

Within a few years, my mother also passed away, leaving only two brothers living here with the refugees from the countryside.

The eldest, Chen Fu, is already married, while the second, Chen Lu, is still unmarried a few years younger.

He is also a poor person.

"I invite the friends I met while hunting in the mountains to my home." Chen Fu untied the hare from his waist and handed it to his wife, "Go cook soup and entertain the guests."

"So that's how it is. Sit down a bit." The woman took the hare, and Chen Lu also handed the hare and pheasant around his waist to his sister-in-law.

When the woman turned around, she coughed lightly, making a hinting gesture to Chen Fu.

When the woman left, Chen Fu laughed, and smiled at Su Lin: "I'll go to the kitchen to help, you guys sit here for a while."

"Please."

Sulin clapped his hands and smiled.

Across the main house is the humble kitchen.

"What's the matter with that girl? Why did you bring her home?" Chen Fu's daughter-in-law said viciously.

Seeing Su Lin's beauty, he felt vigilant in his heart, for fear that Chen Fu might be thinking something.

The folk customs in the mountains are tough, and women can hold up half the sky, so Chen Fu is a little henpecked.

"Where are you thinking?" Chen Fu smiled bitterly, and was really speechless. How jealous was his wife at home?

"It's really a coincidence that we met. We had a few conversations and felt that we were destined to invite him to our house. Besides, I saw that my second brother was interested in that girl. If I could get to know her, it would be pretty good." Chen Fu explained.

"Is this really true?" The woman raised her eyebrows, a little convinced.

I feel that Chen Fu dare not lie to her, if Chen Fu has other thoughts, he will definitely make him regret it.

After all, the woman's father was an old hunter in the mountains, and the two brothers' hunting skills were taught by their father. The woman also knew some boxing and kicking skills, so Chen Fu didn't dare to deceive her.

"Although the girl is dressed in shabby clothes, she looks like a fairy. Also, her head is too high, taller than my brother-in-law. I think it's likely that I don't like my brother-in-law." The woman murmured and analyzed, shaking her head .

"Oh, I can't ask for this, let's go with the fate."

Knowing that what his wife said was reasonable, Chen Fu nodded. The second younger brother's lifelong event is also what his elder brother cares about the most.

Inside the cabin.

"Girl, I don't have anything good to offer. These are wild fruits dried in the mountains. You can try it."

Chen Lu brought over a dilapidated wooden box, which was filled with walnuts and other dried fruits.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Su Lin was not polite, and gave Ma Yun and Liu Zhuang the dried fruits in the wooden box.

After eating for a while, he looked up and scanned the room.

The wooden house of Chen Fu's family is considered good, and it took a long time to build it. The wood is already black, and some of them have begun to rot.

Usually, I can make do with it, but if it is going to rain heavily, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it.

"I see that your house has been in disrepair for a long time, have you considered rebuilding one?" Su Lin asked.

"The girl was joking. It is not easy to build a house. Only when a man marries a wife will he build a new house. The price is very high. The whole village has to come to help, and he has to manage food and cut wood. I'm afraid it won't work if I don't save up some food for half a year." Chen Lu smiled bitterly, this girl probably doesn't understand this.

"So complicated?"

Su Lin was taken aback, thinking that building a wooden house in his own camp is not that complicated.

This is not surprising, the so-called art industry has specialization, and the villagers who specialize in building houses can build them in one go from making wood to building them.

And these mountain hunters don't know this, they just use some wood to build, not only the construction of the house is unreasonable, it affects the appearance, and the service life is also short.

And the hunters living in the mountains are not as diligent as imagined.

They don’t need to cultivate land, they only need to farm enough to eat. When it’s dark, they don’t want to turn on the lights, and they can only rest for the rest of the time, forming a lazy habit.

So the construction efficiency is very low.

Unlike the villagers recruited by Su Lin, they will not be lazy in their work, which is also the gap between the two.

Seeing that the houses in this village needed to be rebuilt, an idea came to Su Lin's mind.

Just let your own people help them build residential houses. As long as someone lives in them, won't they get gold coins?

I didn't know if this idea was feasible, so I asked Silly Girl.

"As long as it is inhabited, whether it is recruited population or natural population, it can bring you gold coins." Sha Niu gave the answer.

Is that all right?I don't know if it's a bug or not.

"Well, when the camp is on the right track, come to help them build residential houses, and it can be regarded as repaying the hospitality this time." Su Lin thought so.
