Chapter 28

  This time, Cheng Da Lei's plan had a large workload, and most of the buildings needed to be demolished and rebuilt. However, with sufficient manpower, this was not a problem, and the project progressed at an incredible speed.

  The real problem is not here, but with these mountain bandits who work hard. They are mountain strongholds, not good men and believers, nor just workers who come to work for five kilograms of grain and two full meals a day. Many of their goals are to annex this place, occupy this place. These people can fire their bosses at any time, and the word "fire" here means literally firing.

  When the project was nearing completion, problems became more and more prominent. Firstly, more and more people were dissatisfied with Huang San Yuan's command, and then they would scold each other while eating, and even fight with each other.

  At noon today, Zhou Xiaoshu peeled off a bowl of noodles. The noodles tasted really good.

  "Hurry up and eat, after dinner we'll get started." said Gao Fei Bao.

  Zhou Xiaoshu hesitated for a moment, he didn't want to take action. With five kilograms of food every day and two full meals, he already felt very happy. If such days could continue, it must be that he had accumulated great virtue in his previous life to have such good fortune.

  But he is just a little servant, he listens to the second master of the house.

  "Second master, but it's Qin big brother... You've also seen Qin Man's strength? I heard that the head of Hamao Village can use the Five Thunder Technique."

  "Cut the crap." Gao Fei Bao said, "For the past two days, I've been intentionally picking a fight just to test their reaction. If they really had the Five Thunder Law, they would have used it by now and wouldn't be tolerating me like this. Listen up, after dinner when they say I'm not doing anything, don't move, follow my lead."

  "Uh-huh, okay." A few people responded in a low voice, and they still had some fear of the Five Thunder Law in their hearts.

  Before long, it was past noon. At this time in the past, everyone had already started working, but today these mountain bandits were lounging on the ground in twos and threes, motionless.

  "Everyone has started working, they're all working!"

  "Huang Guanjia, it's so hot today, how can we work? We'll get heatstroke and die." Gao Feibao said lazily.

  "Hey brothers, let's hurry up and get things done, I'll treat you guys to dinner tonight."

  "Eating dragon meat doesn't work either."

  Still no one moved, and the crowd let out a silent jeer. Huang San's gaze swept around in a circle, he knew that things had already started to get out of control.

  "Hey, get a few people over here and smash this rock, dig it out to build the wall." Huang San Yuan walked up to a large stone that was half buried in the ground.

  "This rock weighs over a thousand catties, who can move it? Why don't Huang Guan's family give it a try."

  "Otherwise, let Cheng Da try it out, doesn't he have the strength of a thousand pounds? He can just pick him up and throw him away."

  Huang San Yuan had already figured out that it wasn't just the Flying Tiger Fort that wanted to make a move on the Frog Fort, other mountain forts were likely thinking along the same lines. The fifty or so stocks of bandits in Qingniu Mountain, who among them was not plotting something?

  The crowd slumped on the ground, with a faintly discernible sneer at the corner of their mouths, like a pack of jackals staring at a little white rabbit that had mistakenly entered their lair.

  Today, there are thousands of mountain bandits coming to Hama Village. If thousands of people stare at you with the same gaze, the pressure that this gaze converges on can directly make those with weak minds collapse.

  Huang San Yuan's face was already beading with sweat, he kept wiping it away, but the sweat just kept flowing more and more.

  Gao Fei Bao and a few people around him exchanged glances, and the people around him all stood up. Some people from other factions also stood up, with unfriendly smiles on their faces.

  At this time, Cheng Dairen walked out of the house.

  Everyone's eyes were focused on him, seeing that he was wearing a loose robe with an absent-minded expression.

  "What's wrong?" Cheng Daire seemed to have no sense of the awkward atmosphere.

  "Great!" Huang San Yuan was overjoyed, as if he had seen a lifesaver: "There's a big rock here that's in the way. I wanted to get my brothers to smash it, but it's too big and they can't budge it. Why don't you use your Five Thunder Method to blast it away?"

  As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes widened. Some people believed that Cheng Dairen could use the Five Thunder Method, while others did not. However, judging from Huang San Yuan's tone, it seemed that he really grasped this mysterious skill.

  Cheng Dali frowned and said somewhat impatiently, "This trivial matter still comes to bother me."

  Then everyone saw him spread his arms wide, merge into one, and suddenly point his index fingers like a sword, with the tip of the sword pointing at the giant stone, and let out a loud roar.

  "I have divine methods and can summon heavenly thunder!"

  Boom!

  The boulder exploded and split into more than a dozen pieces of debris. Some of the debris was blown away, injuring several people.

  Hiss!

  A loud gasp, a thousand kilograms of giant stone, was actually crushed into powder by his single command. Now even if it's said that Cheng Dairen has the strength of a thousand kilograms, no one would doubt it anymore, this is not a human being, but a monster.

  Having done something so earth-shattering, Cheng Da Lei's expression didn't change in the slightest, and instead seemed as if he had just completed a trivial matter of no importance.

  "Don't bother me with such trivial matters from now on." Cheng Dalai patted the dust off his robe and suddenly turned his gaze to the lazy bandits lounging on the ground, curiously asking: "You're not working, what are you doing?"

  Whoosh!

  Everyone who was swept by his gaze felt a chill down their spine, and each person stood up from the ground like a wound spring, throwing themselves into work with great enthusiasm. Not one person dared to utter a word of complaint, and under this state, the project's progress was further accelerated.

  Finally after ten days, the project was fully completed, and the entire Toad Village was renovated, divided into several areas in an orderly manner.

  The outermost is the defense zone, built with mountain rocks and large gates, with watchtowers on the wall. As long as there are enemies approaching, they can be alerted in the shortest time from a high vantage point. The big trees outside the wall have been cut down clean, flat and open, but on the seemingly flat ground, there are traps designed by Qin Man himself, including pitfalls, tripwires, and clamps that can trap wild boars... It has to be said that Qin Man is indeed a top-notch hunter.

  Behind the defense zone is the campus, and in the center of the campus stands a large flag. If an enemy breaks through the outer perimeter and attacks, this will be the buffer zone.

  Behind the school grounds is a working area, including a gathering hall, stables, and reserved spaces for necessary facilities such as blacksmith shops and clinics.

  Behind the work area is the living quarters, including housing, kitchen, well, armory and granary.

  In addition, a public toilet was built next to the horse enclosure. The toilet is adjacent to the farmland. In an era without chemical fertilizers, manure is also extremely important.

  Cheng Dairen was still very satisfied with the renovated stronghold. Without saying that Qingniu Mountain didn't have any strongholds that could be taken down, Cheng Dairen guaranteed that no stronghold could afford the cost of occupying this place.

  Of course, the renovation of the mountain stronghold also came at a great cost. The more than 50,000 catties of grain that the mountain stronghold originally had were all consumed, and only over 1,000 catties remained, but there weren't many people in the mountain stronghold, so this wasn't something to worry about urgently.

  Dui, mountain stronghold construction completed, reward one mu of mature chili peppers.

  Ding, mission triggered, complete 10 robberies, current progress 1/10.
