Pig Killer

Chapter 332

"It's hard to tell now, but if the king takes any action, the Yu family army will unite and face the outside world." Huang Zhongchang, who was driving the cart, turned his head slightly and looked at her and said.

"What do you say, father?" The big tiger blinked his watery eyes and looked at him.

"He just lost his father. It's not appropriate to bully him like this! People always sympathize with the weak." Huang Zhongchang said in a low voice.

"Let's take a look! We have to wait until we get to Xuecheng to see more." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, covering her mouth and yawning gracefully.

Huang Zhongchang saw this and said quickly, "Are you tired? You haven't had a good rest these days. This carriage is quite spacious." Then he said, "It should be very comfortable to lie down. Go in and sleep!"

"Okay! I won't be polite with you." Shen Hui'e turned and entered the carriage, looking at the big bug at the door and said, "Son, what about you?"

"Don't be polite with me." Huang Zhongchang said with a gentle look.

"I'm not sleepy." Da Chong shook his head slightly and said, "I'll stay with Dad, you go to sleep, Mom!" Then he closed the car door, "Don't worry, Mom, go to sleep! I'll draw the landforms along the way."

"Be good!" Shen Hui'e handed him the cloth, pen and ink from the carriage, lowered the curtains, and lay down in the carriage, "I'm going to sleep." She fell asleep in an instant.

Da Chong heard the sound of breathing coming from the carriage, and grabbed his father's arm and said, "Mother, she has fallen asleep, father, please drive slower."

"I know!" Huang Zhongchang smiled slightly and said, "But this road is not very good. It is inevitable that there are potholes. I really can't do anything about it."

"Dad, Dad, are the roads in this capital city also like this?" The big tiger asked him with its round eyes.

"That's impossible! That's under the emperor's feet, the road is very good!" Huang Zhongchang waved a beautiful whip and said, "It's very flat."

"The roads in my hometown are paved with cobblestones. There is nothing wrong with walking on them except that they hurt my feet." The big tiger said with a smile, "What are the roads in the capital paved with?"

"It's solid, just like a city wall, and it's very smooth." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with calm eyes.

"Then it won't have any impact if it rains?" The big tiger asked, looking at him with curious eyes.

"No, not at all." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with a smile on his face and said.

"Will that meteor hammer make a hole when it hits the ground?" Da Chong thought about the first time he saw the meteor hammer. Oh my God, that hammer was bigger than his head.

"That's for sure. It's a meteor hammer. Even if it hits a piece of bluestone, it won't break into pieces!" Huang Zhongchang said with a smile.

"A huge rock is breaking on my chest." The big tiger said with a grin.

"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang said with a smile on his face, tightening the reins to slow down the horse.

"The bluestone slab is very thick! It can't even withstand a sledgehammer!" Huang Zhongchang smiled and said, "Don't even mention the meteor hammer. But who dares to hit the road with a meteor hammer in the imperial city? Don't worry about your life, aren't you afraid of being caught!" He smiled and said, "So much talk? What do you want to say?"

"I think so! It would be great if this road was like the road in the capital, so the carriage wouldn't be bumpy when running." The big tiger looked at him and said with a smile.

"There is a highway, built by the imperial court, and it's pretty good." Huang Zhongchang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "The road is wide and smooth. The imperial horses can gallop on it."

"Why don't we have it at home?" said the big tiger unhappily.

"Who would build a road in such a remote and poor place like ours?" Huang Zhongchang shook his head and laughed, "Building a road is difficult, it requires so many people! It feels like building an imperial palace. The emperor has always been criticized for wasting money and manpower!"

"When we were laying the cobblestones, no one scolded us! They all praised us for being good." The big tiger said to him with its innocent little face.

"Why should I praise you? What does the cobblestone paving have to do with you?" Huang Zhongchang looked at him with confusion.

"It's like this..." Da Chong described in detail how they laid the cobblestones.

"It turns out that work-for-relief started from that time." Huang Zhongchang said in astonishment.

"Yes! They couldn't bear to see us paving the road, so many adults came later." The big tiger looked at him with a smile and said.

This woman is really good at taking advantage of people's hearts, Huang Zhongchang complained in his heart.

"It's just that we miscalculated the cobblestones," said the tiger regretfully, "if the road surface was compacted like in the capital, it would be better for drying the wheat."

Huang Zhongchang looked at his son in astonishment and said, "This is the experience gained from farming."

"That's right!" said the big tiger proudly, with his chin slightly raised.

"Why can't these pebbles be used to dry crops?" Huang Zhongchang blinked his dark eyes and looked at him and asked.

"It's not that we can't dry the wheat, but when we harvest it, we stumble and fall, and we have to pick the wheat from the cracks." The big tiger said with great regret, "If the road is flat and we use a wooden shovel, this problem won't occur."

Huang Zhongchang suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Right, right, right!"

"We are very enthusiastic about building roads for ourselves." said the big tiger with a smile.

"Then this road is not easy to build. How can we cross this mountain?" Huang Zhongchang looked at him with his black and white eyes and said, "Forgot that we are crossing the mountains."

"Plains are better! It's easier to build roads." The tiger looked at the endless plains covered with weeds and said, "It's a pity that this land has been left barren!"

"There's nothing we can do. The people are gone, and we can't just carry the land with us!" Huang Zhongchang said with mixed emotions, "If we don't plant this land for a year, it will become barren."

"Your mother said that this mountain blocks the cold wind from the north, so we won't freeze to death." Huang Zhongchang smiled and said, "There are pros and cons. It's impossible to have all the advantages."

The big insect looked at him with round eyes and said, "Dad, this road is like dividing the houses in Hezhong Prefecture and leveling the roads in the south and north cities. They are working very hard." He drew a circle with his index finger and said, "Expanding outwards with the city as the center." He smiled and said, "It will be convenient for them to travel. They will be active. Everyone will take care of the snow in front of their own door."

"Hehe..." Huang Zhongchang changed his whip hand and rubbed his head. "You kid." He smiled and said, "You forgot that your mother provided the food. Only if it is profitable can it last long. Otherwise, you will make all kinds of excuses, just like you playing sepak takraw."

"Why are they making all kinds of excuses?" Da Chong was puzzled.

"Because I don't want to take responsibility." Huang Zhongchang said without thinking.

"Isn't it better not to do it?" The big tiger looked at him with eyes like black glass.

"Yes! You're making more and more mistakes." Huang Zhongchang looked at the bumpy road ahead with his dark eyes and dodged in time.

"This kind of person is the most annoying." The big insect snorted and said, "It is a great honor to know one's mistakes and improve. If you make a mistake, it just saves you from taking a detour. This is all experience."
