I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 238 Pulling the Cart

Snow was still piled up in the corner of the yard. Bai Ling found a few baskets and used an iron shovel to fill them with snow. The wheelbarrow Bai Ling made was large, and the orc's baskets were also large. Three baskets could be placed on one side, so there were six baskets on both sides. After placing the baskets, they were tied together with straw rope. Bai Ling pushed the wheelbarrow around the yard once, and finally piled the snow from the baskets into the other corner of the yard.

"Ling, this cart can hold a lot of things. We can use it to push things when we go to work in the fields."

"Yes, it's more convenient to transform into beast form when going to places that are too far away, but this vehicle is fine for places that are closer."

“I think this is very useful,” said the long-tailed rabbit beastman. The long-tailed rabbit beastman’s beast form is relatively small, and even when it transforms into its beast form, it can’t carry anything. With this cart, it’s different. Whether it’s going to gather things nearby or working in the fields, it can bring back more things.

The orcs walked around the wheelbarrow, each trying to push it, but unfortunately there was only one wheelbarrow, and each person could only push it twice before having to give it to another orc.

Besides the wheelbarrow, there was also a circle of orcs pulling the cart. One orc tried to hang the animal skin strap from the cart around his neck and push forward with all his might. Pulling the cart was not as fast as pushing it; instead, there was considerable resistance.

One of the onlookers, an orc, said, "Ling said this is called pulling a cart. Don't push it. Try pulling it forward. Maybe that will save you some effort."

The orc pushing the cart was very obedient. He took off the strap around his neck, turned around, grabbed the handlebars with both hands, and pulled forward.

Orcs are very strong, and even the orc pulling the cart found it a bit strenuous to move it forward.

We need to load things into the truck. It's already a bit strenuous to pull it now, and it will definitely be even more strenuous once the truck is fully loaded.

One of the orcs said, "Hey, you should wear that belt on your body. The belt definitely wasn't made by Ling Bai. You should make use of it."

The orc pulling the cart stopped and hung the straps on his body. At first, he tried hanging the straps around his neck, but that obviously didn't work. Then he hung them around his shoulders, but that didn't seem to help much when pulling the cart.

The orcs watching shouted, "Ling, how do you use this vehicle?"

Bai Ling came over when he heard the shouts. He laughed and said, "This cart isn't pulled by people, it's pulled by a beast."

Upon hearing this, two of the orcs in the crowd immediately went to lead the beast away.

The tribe kept many wild animals, which were kept in the backyard of the council chamber and cared for by orcs. The council chamber was right next to the carpentry workshop, and the chugging beast was soon led out.

Bai Ling also pulled the cart out of the yard. When pulling the cart, you have to hang the animal skin on your shoulder and then pass it under your other armpit. This way, you can use your whole body to pull the cart, which will make it easier.

The Kengchi beast has long been domesticated and used to pull plows and millstones. There is a special set of tools for making the Kengchi beast work. The cart is put on the Kengchi beast and tied in the right places, and then the beast pulls the cart.

Bai Ling led the Hungchi Beast forward by the hands. The Hungchi Beast was relatively docile, and it had already become familiar with the beastmen and was no longer afraid of them. As Bai Ling led it forward, the Hungchi Beast obediently pulled the cart along.

Bai Ling led the huffing beast, with the other beastmen following behind. They stared at the cart while chattering amongst themselves. After walking a short distance, Bai Ling asked, "How many people can sit in this cart? Who wants to get on?"

Upon hearing that people could ride in the vehicle, the beastmen immediately sprang into action. They didn't even have time to answer Bai Ling before they began climbing onto the vehicle.

The carriage Bai Ling was riding in wasn't small, but it could only carry a limited number of orcs. With more than a dozen orcs crammed together, if other orcs wanted to get on, there would only be a little space left for their buttocks.

Riding in a carriage is a very novel experience for orcs. Even if there's only a tiny bit of room to sit on, the orcs don't care and start scrambling for that small spot.

When the bus was full and there was really no room left, Bai Ling called out, "Alright, hold on tight."

The orc sitting in the carriage shouted, "I'm all set."

"I'm all set."

"Ling, is the car leaving now?"

"There's no difference between Ling sitting in the car and sitting on the back of an orc."

"How can there be no difference? It wasn't crowded at all sitting on the orc's back."

……

The orcs sitting in the carriage were overjoyed, while those who couldn't get on looked on with envy. Bai Ling held the huffing beast's hands and slowly walked forward.

The Hungchi Beast was faster than an ox and about the same speed as a mule. It seemed to have gotten used to working for the beastmen and was very docile as Bai Ling led it, pulling a cart full of beastmen forward.

Bai Ling led the huffing beast around the tribe. The orcs on the cart had changed several times, but there were more orcs following on both sides of the cart.

Seeing that Bai Ling had created something new, all the beastmen in the tribe mobilized.

Although the vehicle was newly built and had not yet brought any real benefits to the orcs, anyone who wasn't a fool could see how useful it was.

When it's time to harvest the crops this year, the beastmen will transport them back. Large beastmen will transform into their animal forms and carry the crops back in baskets.

Even though large orcs can carry many baskets on their backs, this cart is still more convenient for transporting goods. Things like wheat, soybeans, and sorghum can't fit much in a basket, but this cart can carry a considerable amount. It can also haul back items that can't be put in baskets, such as large stones.

For small orcs, this vehicle is even more useful. In the future, when they go out to work, they can use the grunting beasts to pull the vehicle, and they can load whatever they want into it and bring back whatever they want.

Bai Ling led the Hungchi Beast around the tribe's streets, but the beastmen hadn't had enough of the ride. Some beastmen wanted to walk a few steps with the Hungchi Beast, so Bai Ling handed the reins to the other beastmen, gave them a few instructions, and then moved to the side to stand with Yue.

The orc leading the huffing beast cheered, gripping the reins tightly with both hands, and slowly walked forward.

Bai Ling didn't speak and continued to follow the Hungchi Beast. Yue followed beside Bai Ling, walking slowly on the snow.

The clan chief did not come out. He stood in front of the window, watching the clansmen following behind the thing called "pulling the cart" on the road outside, laughing and joking as they walked.

There were two elderly people beside the clan chief, and they did not go out either, but kept their eyes fixed on the cart being pulled by the grunting beast.

“This thing Ling made is very useful to the tribe,” an old man said.

Another elderly man said, "Yes, this car is a very useful thing."
