The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 335 - 245: Unexpected Encounter with the Big Boss
"Little girl, what can you possibly know?" The man said with a smile and didn’t pay Jun Ning any more attention, continuing to ponder how to build the bridge.
Jun Ning said, "Why don’t you tell me anyway? If you don’t tell me, how will you know that I don’t know anything?"
"I know a lot!" Jun Ning patted her small chest to assure him.
The man still didn’t intend to speak with Jun Ning, nor did he expect Jun Ning to provide any good ideas. However, seeing Jun Ning’s curiosity and cuteness, he briefly explained his troubles.
He spoke quickly, finishing in a few sentences.
But when he spoke, it was like warm jade, unhurried, calm, and inexplicably made one feel a sense of trust.
Jun Ning squatted beside the man, looking at him as he examined the bridge and said, "Big Brother, based on your requirements, I think you can build an iron cable bridge!"
"Iron cable bridge?" The man became interested just hearing the name.
"Yes, an iron cable bridge. Use a very thick iron cable to serve as the bridge body. This way, it can defend against external enemies and is easy to construct."
Most people’s thinking when building a bridge is easily confined to the established modes of ordinary bridges.
For example, a bridge must have wooden planks to step on to walk across steadily, or it must have a sturdy body to withstand weathering and foot traffic.
But such bridges are not easy to build, especially in a bandit village like this one, which lacks skilled craftsmen and good techniques. Just transporting the necessary materials requires a lot of effort and time, not to mention starting construction!
It wouldn’t be surprising for such construction to take years.
And even after building it, it might not meet expectations.
Building an iron cable bridge is much simpler.
Just find a blacksmith to forge a long, thick iron cable, then find somewhere to secure it, and a simple bridge is born.
Especially since this man requires it to defend against enemy incursions. Without some real skill, people cannot easily cross an iron cable bridge, and the defense effect is quite good.
So, if you must build according to this man’s internal demands, an iron cable bridge is the best choice.
"Little girl, you’re right; an iron cable bridge can be built!" The man was a bit excited. "I was confined by the idea that a bridge must have a bridge body and something to support it, which kept me from thinking of using an iron cable bridge."
"You pointed it out with just a word; you’re so smart!" The man said.
"But this bridge also has its drawbacks," Jun Ning said honestly, "You need to ensure that people crossing can step on the iron cable and walk over. For someone skilled, it’s no problem, a piece of cake. But for someone without skills and who is timid, it’s difficult!"
"That’s no issue. In the future, in Black Water Village’s monthly test, we can add crossing the iron cable bridge as a project!" The man was full of confidence, "I believe that with regular practice, one will naturally become proficient. Crossing a mere iron cable bridge shouldn’t be a problem."
After pausing, he added, "If people are still afraid of accidents and don’t dare to cross, we can add some safety measures. There are plenty of solutions, no worry about being unable to cross."
Jun Ning smiled, "It’s just my suggestion, you see!"
"Your suggestion is great, and I’m going to adopt it." The man was very happy, "I bet with this iron cable bridge, no one will dare to offend my Black Water Village again!"
"Black Water Village?" This time, Jun Ning paid attention to the place name mentioned by the man.
But after thinking about the name, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that after running for so long, she was still circling within Black Water Village’s territory? And this person in front of her was from Black Water Village?
Ha, talk about a narrow escape!
Jun Ning waved her hand and said, "Big Brother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way, not waiting for you!"
She had things to do and didn’t want to be tangled up with people from Black Water Village.
Saying that, Jun Ning was about to run, the shaky bridge the man had crossed, she could cross too. As long as she’s brave, there’s no problem.
However, as she took a step forward, the man pulled her back.
"Girl, you gave me such a good idea, solving a big problem for me. I want to thank you." The man warmly invited, "Come back to Black Water Village with me? I’ll personally slaughter a pig to entertain you, and we’ll have a feast of meat and wine. What do you think?"
Jun Ning muttered, "Not much!"
"What did you say, girl?" The man didn’t hear Jun Ning clearly.
Jun Ning laughed, "Oh, um, nothing."
"If there’s nothing, let’s go back to the village. When the day breaks, I’ll slaughter the pig to entertain you." The man said as he held Jun Ning’s hand and headed in the direction Jun Ning had escaped from.
Jun Ning was about to cry: Damn it, I barely escaped, and now you’re taking me back?
"Big Brother, let’s talk this out," Jun Ning didn’t want to move forward, she squatted on the ground, suddenly acting spoiled, "But just don’t take me back, okay?"
"Why is that?" The man didn’t understand why inviting someone to dinner was so difficult?
"I... I..." Jun Ning didn’t know what to say.
The conflicts between her and the second in command of Black Water Village were best not mentioned in front of Black Water Village people!
Otherwise, people from Black Water Village, being locals, would never side against their own. Saying anything would only result in her being the unlucky one!
"Little girl, don’t hem and haw, just say what’s on your mind. Tell me, is it because someone from Black Water Village bullied you, and you’re afraid of that person, so you don’t want to come back with me?" The man asked patiently.
His voice was so warm, like a gentle breeze in April.
Jun Ning originally didn’t want to speak, but seeing his patient gaze, looking as if he was about to side with her, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The man said, "Don’t be afraid. I’m the chief of Black Water Village. With me backing you up in Black Water Village, no one can bully you."
"Really?" Jun Ning was half-convinced, "Even if that person is the second in command of Black Water Village, you’d still be willing to protect me?"
When Jun Ning was previously poisoned, she vaguely heard that the person who poisoned her and Ye Ying was the second in command of Black Water Village.
"The second?" The man was incredulous for a moment before quickly regaining composure, "Girl, rest assured, even if it’s the second, he can’t do anything to you because you’re my honored guest!"
"With me here, he wouldn’t dare do anything to you." The man said, "And I see your eyes are red, it seems you’ve been poisoned; come back with me, and I’ll help you cure it."
