I have a shelter

Chapter 54: A Lumberyard Full of Gold

"I observed the traces by the river. There should be no large creatures wandering by the river recently. At least there are no giants who have walked a similar path to us." Aji said when he saw the lumberyard.

George nodded and looked around on the hillside. He felt that although there was some fog, most areas could still be seen clearly. After he looked at it, he looked at the scroll again. It was discovered that the road they had taken, as well as the entire logging camp, had appeared on the map.

There's no red dot on it.

George breathed a sigh of relief and searched for the footprints of Jack and others on the scroll.

The footprints these people traveled were also recorded on the scrolls. The little blue dots were flashing, like scouts constantly exploring forward.

‘I don’t know how far the scroll can show the maximum distance. ’

Each group of Jack and the others were walking in different directions, and so far they had not encountered any monsters - or the things they encountered could be dealt with, so they were dealt with.

‘It looks like I can work well today. ’ After taking back the scroll, George felt at ease and couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.

George's eyes moved towards the lumberyard, looking at the round logs, he swallowed his saliva.

In his eyes, these woods are now more important than gold!

'Qinglong wood, purple shank, ivory wood, fragrant sandalwood, emerald nan, iron wood, stone pine and other fine logs, even before the disaster, were extremely expensive and sought-after goods! But now, resources are even more cherished! ’

Whether these logs are used to make high-end furniture, buildings, longbows, or weapons, they are the highest quality materials. Even the great scholars of Yongfeng City would occasionally bring their students here to personally select something special.

The value of the ‘gold’ produced from this logging site every year is no less than that of a small mine!

Moreover, the flash flood did not wash away much of the wood, which is undoubtedly great news.

There is a river at the edge of the lumber camp, and through this river, the wood can be drifted to the vicinity of the territory. In the past, lumber camps were transported along this river, and many territories were favored.

Of course, the road is not a straight line, there are many curves. Normally, manpower is needed to guard every corner, but now there are ghosts who can push the wood.

George's gaze changed direction and looked at the river beach. He saw that there had been a flash flood on the other side of the river, and some logs along the river were washed down. But the area that was washed away also made it easier to transport the good wood inside - some of the wood near the river had mushrooms or even rotted.

Just pry some logs with a crowbar and roll them to the river.

Thinking of this, George put away the scroll, clapped his hands, called Alexander who was looking for squirrels in the forest, and prepared to start working.

At this time, Aji suddenly came over, blinked and said to the lord: "Sir, I am not lazy. But I want to go over there and have a look first."

After saying that, he swallowed the smear slightly nervously, and then he smiled at the lord and said: "Don't be nervous. I am a suspicious person, and I won't feel at ease if I don't take a look around here. In addition, I can also help you in this way. Keep a lookout over there.”

George nodded in agreement. He looked at Aji's retreating back and felt a little nervous in his heart.

This guy who looks very lively is actually very cautious. If you haven't discovered something, you won't talk nonsense.

But now that he has arrived at the place, he will never turn around and leave just because of some trace. And even if the giant comes, the worst he can do is follow the wood into the river in advance.

"Damn it, if I don't finish moving all this wood today, I will definitely lose sleep at night!" George gritted his teeth hard.

"Do it!" Alexander only replied.

Crowbars are readily available, as are hammers, axes, saws and other miscellaneous tools. Before starting work, George glanced at the cabin on the map—in the direction of Aggie. I decided not to go through the fog to explore and search. The stuff in the venue is enough.

The two men first nailed some strong stakes by the river to prevent the wood from rolling directly down.

At first George was on top and Alexander was by the river. But he found that although he could pry the wood, he was not strong enough and some of the wood could not be rolled directly into position. Very inefficient.

Then the two of them switched positions.

When the two passed by, Alexander stretched out three fingers and gave George a high five.

After arriving at the designated location, Alexander saw the lord wave his hand, and then spat two pieces of spit into his hand. Immediately afterwards, the logs rolled down with a roar.

Looking at the logs rolling towards him, George was so frightened that he quickly shouted for Alexander to stop. With a lot of fuss, I managed to get the wood in place.

"If I hadn't been reluctant to give up this little money, I would have just gotten out of the way!" He wiped his sweat and asked Alexander to slow down his pace a little.

This time, the rolling logs were finally within the range that humans could handle.

Gradually, as the pile of logs got higher and higher, George couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he used a crowbar to place the logs in front of the pile.

‘It’s time to sort it out. ’ The sweaty George waved his hand and asked Alexander to come down first. After the two people sorted it out, the dozens of logs were finally stabilized.

"Take a rest, I'm really exhausted." George gasped.

This pile of wood is really a lot. Logically speaking, this job cannot be done by one person. George has used all his strength to do this. And his chain mail has been thrown aside.

But Alexander is not red in the face and out of breath. In fact, if you really want to cooperate with him, you can't keep up with his pace without ten or eight people.

"No need to rest, boss, you will release the holy spirit in a while, and then you will watch from the side. Later, I will push hard on it. If there are really wood rolling down, I will release them hard and let them all roll into the river."

George wiped the sweat from his chin and was slightly stunned. Suddenly, he felt that this rough idea was indeed feasible.

He looked at the current wood and estimated that it was definitely enough to use them to rebuild the parade ground, and even repair the inner wall. It can be said that every extra piece of wood now is a free profit!

And the servants can't carry too much at a time. After all, it takes energy to move the slow-flowing part of the river. 2+3 is divided into two groups, and it is enough to handle two batches of wood.

Thinking of this, George nodded vigorously and sat aside to rest.

Taking advantage of this time, he opened the scroll and looked for Aji's position. Then he found that this guy had walked a long way and had stopped moving.

He turned his head and looked at the fog, but he couldn't see anything clearly. I don't know what this kid is doing.

"Damn, he won't sleep over there?!" Although he said so, George's little heart was getting tighter and tighter, praying that the guy was really lazy and sleeping, instead of finding something, so he didn't dare to move.

The sound of logs rolling down rang again, and George didn't have the mind to think more, and stared at the pile of wood closely.

Looking at the logs, hitting the pile of wood thrillingly, George felt his heart was also pounding. It felt like drawing 21 points! Each log that came down was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, but the pile of wood had never been crushed.

Alexander worked more and more roughly, as if the previous work was not enough to warm him up. In the end, he threw away the crowbar and started standing behind the pile of logs, pushing them down one by one!

The rhythm was quickened a bit, and the original pile of wood had doubled!

"This fucking inner wall and castle can be repaired!" George jumped up excitedly.

Alexander didn't stop for a breath, and the logs kept hitting down. Seeing that more and more of them gathered, there was a cracking sound from the pile, and it was about to collapse!

'Can't leave Aji here alone! '
