"We definitely need a boat to cross the river. There were not many boats at Lanjiang Ferry in peacetime, and we are even less sure now, so we have to find a way on our own." Li Laosan continued, "We definitely can't afford a big boat, and there are no people." We can’t build it, so we can only use rafts to cross the river.”
As soon as this was said, everyone started talking.
"Crossing the river on a raft? Is it possible?"
"It is said that the narrowest part of the Lanjiang River is more than 30 feet wide. Can the raft survive?"
"I'm a little panicked, otherwise I'd better not cross the river, right?"
Shen Qingqian got some information from their discussion. She didn't think it was bad to cross the river on a raft. As long as you don't go when the waves are rough, it is actually possible.
Seeing that everyone was almost finished discussing, Li Laosan spoke again, "Chenzhou Ferry is the narrowest point of Lanjiang River. It would be best if we can hit the ferry when we get there. If not, we will use a raft. However, crossing the river The raft can no longer be used for us to carry luggage, so we have to fix it again."
He didn't need to tell everyone about this. As long as the luggage carriers didn't fall apart, it would be fine, but the rafts used to cross the river were more demanding.
"You don't have to worry too much. Didn't we discover a few days ago that the sap of a certain tree is particularly sticky? I will find someone to get some together today and use it on the raft to prevent it from falling apart easily." Jin Daya He said with a big wave of his hand.
He is still very optimistic. After all the difficulties, is he still afraid of falling into the river? Even if you fall in, there's nothing to be afraid of. At worst, you can float over on a raft.
The only trouble is the women, children and old people in the team. They may not have the physical strength to hold up the raft.
But we’ll talk about all this when the time comes. There will definitely be a solution.
There is relevant information in Shen Qingqian's memory, but it is not about shipbuilding, but the simplest physical principles.
But now they just want to make rafts, and this information is enough.
After saying this, Li Laosan looked at Jiang Goudan and the others again, "Goudan, thank you for leading the way during these days, and thank you for providing us with a lot of convenience, but you also know our identities, next you What do you plan to do?"
Jiang Goudan was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then hesitantly said: "Third Master, can't you continue to take us with you? Don't worry, we will find food on our own from now on and won't eat your rations."
They were originally fleeing, and now that the situation is like this outside, just a few dozen of them, aren't they looking for death if they go out?
It is better to follow this group of refugees to Northern Hubei to try their luck, maybe they will settle down in Northern Hubei.
Li Laosan didn't expect him to say that. Looking at Jiang Goudan and the others, they all looked at him expectantly, and he immediately realized that they had probably discussed this matter in private.
"As long as you are not afraid that you will not be able to survive when you get to northern Hubei, then just follow. But I'm going to say something ugly up front, and you have to continue to follow the arrangements later, otherwise I won't care about you." Li Laosan finally agreed.
Jiang Goudan immediately said: "Third Master, don't worry, we will definitely listen to you and the other ministers."
We have been getting along for more than a month, and both parties know each other's situation well, so the matter has been settled.
Making a raft requires a lot of wood, especially since they don't have any grinding tools and can only find small trees of similar size to make, which adds to the difficulty.
But there are always more solutions than difficulties, and men can naturally handle these things.
While they were busy looking for materials, Shen Qingqian drew the relevant information in his mind on a stone slab.
"What are you drawing?" Shengze's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
