I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 199 Build Your Own Bamboo Raft

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but we need to take a detour."

Liu Yingxiong said nonchalantly: "It's okay to take a detour. As long as they don't ask us to give out money, I believe the villagers will agree."

Liu Yingcai also expressed no objection to this, but he added, "If we choose not to take the water route, how many days will it take to get there?"

Lin Xuan didn’t know the exact time, but he had heard from people in the village that it seemed to be about three days.

"But at the rate we're going, it might take five days."

After hearing this, Liu Yingcai felt it was okay. It was only five days, which meant the distance was not too far.

But Liu Xiaoxiao asked at this time: "Uncle Lin, how long will it take to travel by water?"

Lin Xuan answered affirmatively: "Two hours."

"Ah!" Liu Yingxiong exclaimed in shock, "How could there be such a huge difference?"

Lin Xuan replied, "Because the waterway goes straight, while the official road is built between the mountains and forests, it will take more time to walk."

He then added, "And the reason they dared to suddenly raise the price of the ferry tickets over there is because they grasped the mentality of the people coming and going."

Liu Yingcai said, "Yes! If we can reach our destination faster, who would want to waste two more days on the journey?"

Liu Yingxiong sighed helplessly and was about to tell Lin Xuan that he didn't need to go on the detour with them! But...

What did he see?

"bamboo"

With bamboo, can't they make bamboo rafts?

Can't they cross the river with a bamboo raft?

If they can cross the river, doesn’t that mean they don’t have to take a detour?

No detours. No need to spend money. Isn't this what they need most right now?

Thinking of this, he immediately turned to Lin Xuan and asked, "Master Lin, if we want to build our own boat, can we cut down the bamboo forest behind us?"

When Lin Xuan heard that there was a bamboo forest, he looked in the direction Liu Yingxiong pointed.

They saw that there were indeed a lot of bamboos growing on the hillside about two miles away from their current location.

If they wanted to make a bamboo raft to cross the river by themselves, maybe they could do it.

So he replied, "Yes, these mountains are far away from the surrounding villages and are all unowned. If you need to cut down trees, feel free to do so. As long as you don't empty the mountains, I don't think the government will pursue any responsibility."

Although Liu Yingxiong had guessed this would be the result, he was still very happy after hearing the confirmed answer. Finally, he said, "Then I will go and tell them to cut the bamboo."

Although Lin Xuan understood their behavior, he still said something before Liu Yingxiong left.

"Uncle Liu, please wait a moment. I have something to say. I understand that you want to cross the river in your own boat. However, the current in the middle section of the river is quite turbulent. If you really choose to build your own bamboo raft, I hope you can take this into consideration."

Seeing this, Liu Yingxiong asked more specific questions, such as how urgent it was.

After hearing this, he was really unsure, so he went to discuss it with a villager in the team who often went out fishing.

"Based on my experience, the situation this brother described can basically be dealt with, provided we tie the boat down more securely."

Liu Yingxiong felt a little relieved after seeing this. But for safety reasons, he also specially invited the villager to join him in tying the boat.

Before leaving, he solemnly said to him: "The safety of our group is in your hands."

The other party replied: "Don't worry, Village Chief. Even if you don't tell me, I will do my best. After all, my family will go with me."

"Sister Xiaoxiao, they are going to the mountains to cut bamboo. Do you want to go with them?" Liu Wenxuan invited.

Liu Xiaoxiao replied: "They are going there to do their business, why should I go there?"

Liu Wenxuan leaned close to Liu Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered, "Go find some good stuff! Have you forgotten the good stuff we found by the bamboo forest when we went to dig bamboo shoots before? We sold it for a lot of money! If we can do the same this time... hehe!"

The rest is self-explanatory, but Liu Xiaoxiao doesn't think that she can come across the same good stuff every time. However, in order not to discourage Liu Wenxuan's enthusiasm, she still chooses to go with him.
