The area of Lianyun City is not small, with tens of thousands of households originally. Moreover, the streets are sparse and not crowded, which makes future developers ashamed.
The city wall surrounds Lianyung City.
The circumference is not short.
However, the damage to the city walls in the south and north of the city is small, and the east and west of the city are the key areas that need repair.
This time's renovation plans to make it stronger and taller based on the original one.
In an attempt to defend against possible invading monsters or demonic cultivators.
The area where Chen Ping is located is at the east wall of the city.
After arriving, I discovered that there were several familiar faces there, including my neighbors, Yu Lingchun and Lin Changshou.
Yu Qingyi is not here.
It is said that they have different cultivation levels and accept different tasks. Yu Qingyi and these juniors are obviously not at the same level of cultivation.
"Chen... Fellow Taoist, I'm sorry to bother you. My grandpa asked me to follow you, is that okay?" Yu Lingchun came over at some point, with an apology and a hint of joy on her face.
Chen Ping smiled:
"What are you doing with me? I'm not a supervisor."
"Grandpa said, there is no need to worry about safety when following you." Yu Lingchun smiled sweetly, her face glowing pink under the early spring sun.
Chen Ping understands Yu Qingyi’s concerns.
My granddaughter rarely goes out alone. She is like a flower in a greenhouse and does not understand the world of people outside.
Chen Ping can live like a fish in water by himself in the casual cultivation area, especially during the last beast tide disaster, he was able to survive unharmed. In Yu Qingyi's opinion, nature has a set of life skills.
Chen Ping found this very useful. He just followed him to do the same errands without having to take care of him. In fact, he didn't need to ask for his permission. Asking this was a sign of Yu Lingchun's respect for him.
But then I heard Yu Lingchun say:
"Hehe, my grandfather said that if there is danger, you must be the first to notice it and the fastest one."
Chen Ping's steps stagnated.
Suddenly I didn’t want to talk anymore.
What does it mean?
"Your grandfather is not a son of a man, and I am not the kind of person who runs away easily." Chen Ping retorted speechlessly.
"..."
'If danger occurs, how can I retreat so that I can run the fastest? Can you be the first to stay away from danger? ' While answering Yu Lingchun, Chen Ping was thinking silently in his mind.
He looked at this 'construction site' calmly.
One side of the city wall here is the city, and the other side is the forest to the east.
There will be no danger in the city, and no one will come to make trouble in the crowded place in broad daylight.
The east side is much more dangerous.
The Endless Forest is several miles away from here, with a wasteland in between. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be much danger.
But you still need to plan just in case.
If a monster appears, how should we retreat as soon as possible? In which direction to retreat? Which way to go? What skills and talismans are used?
After all, with so many people moving together, there would be a lot of noise. Who knows if a manic monster might be disturbed?
Chen Ping looked at these monks.
The person who was coordinating among the casual cultivators was still a member of the Liu family, but he was relieved that he did not see this gloomy-eyed Liu family cultivator.
As for other people doing repairs, there are about twenty or thirty people here.
There are casual cultivators and there are ordinary people.
In addition, looking from a distance, you can also see many people busy repairing other collapsed areas of the city wall.
Chen Ping silently attached the evil-proofing talismans to his body, and once again confirmed that the protective talismans, Qi-replenishing pills, etc. were all in his sleeves, before he started to work on the repairs.
There are many types of repair jobs, such as building walls, moving huge rocks, quarrying rocks outside the city, and mixing mud.
Quarrying and transporting rocks is undoubtedly the most dangerous, as you have to go to the outskirts of the Endless Forest.
Others are around the city wall and have a higher safety factor.
These are not high-end jobs.
In normal times, these things would be errands for ordinary people or the most destitute individual cultivators to do, and there is no need for monks like them to do it.
But Lianyungeng today is different from what it used to be.
There are not that many suitable workers.
I can't afford to wait for slow work to produce fine work, so I can take my time.
We can only work together, regardless of high or low, to speed up the repair progress.
Not only the casual cultivators, but also the disciples from the West District family can be seen working enthusiastically among the teams doing these menial jobs.
In such tasks, some monks who know some earth magic can play a huge role.
Chen Ping was an ordinary man, doing the rough work of moving stones under the city wall.
He only needs to move the huge stones to the device in the air, and then the monks on the city wall will lift the stones up, that's all.
Because monks generally have outstanding strength, this kind of work is nothing.
Pretty easy.
There were a total of seven people working with Chen Ping, both young and old. Because everyone helped each other, they became familiar with each other and occasionally chatted with each other.
While taking a break, a group of casual cultivators came over from a distance.
The leading monk had a round figure, big legs and thick arms, and his robe was almost like a tights.
"That's Geng Zhongjie, the gang leader from a street in the north of the city. This guy likes to cause trouble. Leave him alone and let's do our own work." Lin Changshou said softly.
"There are still gangs in Lianyuncheng?" Chen Ping was confused.
Living in Lianyuncheng for so long, I have never heard of gangs.
In the past, the city defense was dominated by one family and no cliques were allowed.
The five major families since then seem to have also prohibited forming cliques.
"There were not many before, but now there are a lot of them gradually. However, they all say that they are not a gang. They only talk about neighborly help to the outside world. But what they do are gang activities, and what they do in private are all destructive things." Lin Changshou said lowly Sound to clear up doubts.
Chen Ping dusted off his hands:
"Which family is in charge of the north of the city? Doesn't it care about these people?"
"Why do you care about this? On the surface, it's just neighbors helping each other. Besides, several big families are gradually showing signs of fatigue, and I'm afraid they may not be able to do enough."
Lin Changshou felt very sad. He had just come out of a completely collapsed family not long ago, and he knew a lot about family matters.
While the two were muttering, Geng Zhongjie and his group came over.
The two of them stopped talking about others.
To Chen Ping's surprise, this group of people did not stay long or cause any trouble. They seemed to be looking for someone, or were just passing by, and quickly went to the next repair place.
With Chen Ping's current strength, he is no longer afraid of such a person, but for him, it is always better to do less than to do more.
Ordinary days are the best days.
The most enjoyable life is without accidents.
The task of repair is like going to the factory to drive screws in later generations, monotonous and boring.
The same thing is repeated over and over again.
Fortunately, each person only needs to work for three days.
During breaks from work, other people would get together to chat when they had nothing to do, and sometimes they would even gamble when they had nothing to do.
Everyone enjoyed themselves.
Some people even enjoy this errand and regard it as a rare time to gather and communicate.
Chen Ping did not participate in these activities. When he had nothing to do, he would sit alone and practice meditation.
Don't waste time.
Yu Lingchun rarely went out alone and was curious about everything. But seeing that Chen Ping didn't keep company with others, she lost interest and spent most of the time sitting quietly next to Chen Ping.
He also practiced Qigong.
The 'assembly line work' on the first and second days was carried out in an orderly manner, which made Chen Ping think that he could start living at home again after one more day.
Never thought about it.
In the afternoon of the third day, while Chen Ping and his gang were moving stones slowly, a dispute was taking place on another part of the city wall.
