Chapter 237

The cracks in the pond-surrounding stones were full of lush, fluffy green grass, the leaves curved, and raindrops hung from the tips, falling obliquely.

The drizzle drifted uncertainly, hitting the pond and splashing onto the wooden boards, leaving small brown dots, which then faded in the river wind.

The small wooden house, which had not yet been capped, used the pond-surrounding stones as a foundation and spread from the water to underwater. The two small beavers carried wooden strips in and out, constantly adding bricks and tiles to the small wooden house.

It is hard to imagine that the entire house, covering more than ten square meters, was more than half built in less than ten days with the joint efforts of the four beaver spirit monsters.

Seeing that it would be capped and completed in another two or three days, the chief designer of the entire project, the big beaver, was called out by Liang Qu.

The big beaver sat on the ground, dragging its tail. It stretched out its tongue to lick its claws and used its saliva to comb and smooth the few upright hairs on its head.

After tidying up, the big beaver walked out of the wooden house and came to the side of the pond to meet the landlord.

Liang Qu looked at the old giant clam by the water, signaling the old giant clam to come forward to communicate for him.

As a monster beast, the old giant clam seems to be useless, with no advantages other than high defense and long life.

But its spiritual power is truly powerful, and it can communicate with intelligent spirit monsters through thought at a shallow level, just right as a transit station for his communication with the beavers.

And Liang Qu highly suspected that the beaver family was brought by the old giant clam.

That day, when the fat catfish and the other water beasts came to the pond, the beaver family's performance was very terrified, and their first reaction was to look at the old giant clam.

This point is very subtle.

The beavers subconsciously regarded the old giant clam as an object of help.

Perhaps the old giant clam traveled to the Great Marsh every day, accidentally bumped into the beaver family who wanted to find a place to spend the Bing Fire days, and mentioned it, and things happened so naturally.

It is even possible that the two sides knew each other long ago.

Having lived for thousands of years, spending most of the time in the Great Marsh, it is not impossible to know some safe and harmless spirit monsters.

Otherwise, Liang Qu didn't quite believe that the beavers would casually find a garden to settle their whole family without knowing the character and habits of the house owner.

He let the old giant clam be responsible for communication, also considering that both are water beasts, and the trust between them would be higher.

Accompanied by the old giant clam's continuous bubbling, the big beaver nodded continuously.

The beaver-brand shipyard seems to be expected to open for business.

If it can be opened, it doesn't matter if the beaver family stays forever.

However, wanting others to work, one point cannot be bypassed—remuneration.

Helping others build things cannot be done for free.

The old giant clam relayed the beavers' request.

Liang Qu asked back: "What do you want?"

People like silver, not because silver can be eaten as food, but because silver can be exchanged for food.

Giving Liu Quanfu silver notes is no problem, but beavers may not like them.

It can't take silver notes to the bank to exchange for silver, and then hold the silver to the market to exchange for things it likes.

That is too difficult for a beaver.

The big beaver stood straight, waved its two claws up and down, held something in the void, and gnawed under its mouth: ka ka ka.

Then it moved to Liang Qu's feet, held his palm with its claws, helped him clench it into a fist, raised it in front of Liang Qu, and spread its five toes.

It looked back, thought for a while, tucked one back, and stretched out four toes.

Liang Qu looked at his fist, and then listened to the explanation of the old giant clam on the side, suddenly enlightened.

"Every month, you want four metal stones the size of my fist?"

The big beaver nodded fiercely.

A total of a family of four, one beaver one piece a month?

"Are gold and silver blocks not okay?"

The big beaver shook its head, its cheek meat trembling.

It picked up a stone from the ground, handed it to its mouth and gnawed it into powder, which fell to the ground, and then bared its teeth, revealing its orange-bright two big incisors.

"Gold and silver are too soft and not enough to gnaw?"

Liang Qu was thoughtful.

The most important treasure of the beaver clan is their own teeth.

The reason why the big beaver's teeth are orange-yellow is not because it doesn't brush its teeth or pay attention to hygiene, but because the composition of beaver teeth is very different from ordinary animals, containing a large amount of metal elements!

Elements do not appear out of thin air; it needs to supplement them, and gnawing on metal ore is the most important method.

In addition, beaver teeth grow continuously throughout their lives. If they are not polished, they will grow too long, to the point of poking their heads.

Ordinary beavers gnawing on trees is enough, but spirit monster beavers can't; they must have some "hard goods."

Gnawing on ore belongs to polishing and intake two-in-one.

Although gold and silver are also metals, their texture is too soft, and they are not even as easy to use as ordinary stones.

Liang Qu agreed immediately.

Metal ore, well, there is a lot in the Great Marsh. Even if you can't find it in the water in the short term, there must be a lot of stock on Lu Gang's side.

A blacksmith at the level of a Wolf Smoke martial artist is never short of various ores.

It's just that metal ore is not cheap. The beavers' efficiency is high, but the construction cost will also double...

But it doesn't matter.

Efficiency is king.

Go to Liu Quanfu another day to ask for two drawings, and start construction on two lines!

Originally, it took two and a half months for a boat, but now it's directly reduced to one boat a month!

I think that while the toad is not too tired, I can maximize the benefits.

Getting Liang Qu's approval, the beaver flicked its tail, lay on the ground, used all four limbs to run back to the wooden house, and told his wife and children the good news.

From now on, not only will they have a supply of ore every month, but they will also get a safe shelter!

For beavers, building things is part of life, and the only difference is that the things built need to change shape.

The four beavers rubbed against each other, conveying joy. The big beaver ran back, pointed to the small wooden house, raised its legs to stomp on the ground, and stretched out its claws to dig the ground to make a pit.

"Want to dig a hole by the pond?"

Beavers originally only lived for a month and a half, spent the Bing Fire days and left, but now they want to live for a long time, and want to dig a hole by the edge of the pond to connect the inside and outside of the house, which is an instinct.

Liang Qu looked around and agreed, only telling the beavers not to dig outside the fence.

When the pond was built, the purpose was to let the old giant clam and the fat catfish have a place to enter and exit.

For this reason, the whole pond was built very large, with a radius of five zhang, fifteen meters, and a diameter of thirty meters, roughly micro-elliptical, covering more than one mu.

Leaning against the pond, there is a circle of land paved with pebbles, planted with a few shrubs, and then a two-meter-high fence, which adds up to almost the same as the footprint of a three-entry courtyard.

The cost was not high. Liang Qu's status at that time was already an official, there were no residential houses around, and the expanded land was almost half-sold and half-given to him.

The main force of the pond pit was several water beasts, and only building the fence and paving the ground hired craftsmen and spent a lot of money.

It's really living a fairy life.

There is a large garden with a pond, a three-entry courtyard, and people responsible for eating and laundry, which is a real landlord life.

When he first went to his master's house that year, he saw almost the same scene, but the scale was more exaggerated.

Four-entry courtyard, a large courtyard with a lake pavilion, horse stables, dog houses, ice cellars, small martial arts fields, and servants coming and going.

He was so envious.

Thinking carefully, he is now really a copy of his master.

In Pingyang Town that year, there was Yang Dongxiong, and now in Yixing Town, there is him, Liang Ashui.

How do others look at him, and what kind of feeling is it?
