Chapter 636
The barbarian carpenter spared no effort to build the thatched hut. He climbed up and down, fiddling
with the wood and adjusting the angle, ate only once a day, and worked tirelessly under the scorching
sun.
The ‘carpenter” also perkily told Samba that he had spent a lot of gold in exchange for some tools that
could help make the wood better.
Christina leaned over curiously to see that the barbarian indeed had aplete collection of modern
woodworking tools such as ner tools and chisels.

Putting aside her previous impression of the barbarians as bigoted and ferocious, she was surprised to
find that they had their own hobbies.
Christina hoped that the barbarian carpenter could make her an “ox wagon.”
Because there was no pen and paper, she made a rough sketch on the open muddy ground. The
structure of the “ox wagon” was simple. First, they needed to make two “wheels”. The bearing part
could bepleted with the help of tools such as a ner tool and a chisel.
Christinamunicated with the barbarian carpenter with Samba’s assistance. After listening to the
requirements Samba asked for, the barbarian carpenter agreed with crity to help Christian make this
new gizmo, and they made a tentative decision to make the wheels using the cross-section of a tree,
which turned out to be round as well.
This barbarian carpenter was indeed a very ambitious craftsman. In order to hurry to finish Christina’s
“ox wagon,” he devoted himself to this job and spent the whole night digging wood and fiddling with the
arrangements, even forgetting to eat and sleep.
“… This carpenter seems to be smarter than Samba.”
Christian remembered that she had just praised Samba as the smartest barbarian not long ago, but
she didn’t expect that she would realize that there was someone cleverer out there so soon.
With the help and instructions of Christina, the barbarian carpenter seeded to make the first “ox
wagon” on
the ind.
Christina was very excited, for she didn’t have to work so hard to transport the flints with such a wagon
Ever the grateful one, she asked Samba generously to tell the very talented” barbarian carpenter that
he could make such a” wagon” for sale in the future, and specifically reminded him that the price must
be more than five pieces of gold.
Most of the barbarians on this ind were thick and goofy, and she wondered if they were too used to
being oppressed by the rulers.
At first Samba didn’t know how to use the wagon, so he carried the wagon on his shoulder and walked
with it.
Christina sighed and ran up to give him a lecture,
After struggling for two hours, Samba reluctantly learned to walk with his hands pushing the wagon.
Samba felt that it was strange for he walked faster by himself, so why should he push this stuff?
* You can push it or let an ox do the work.”
However hard she tried to persuade them, it was no better than a real demonstration.
That day, Christina bought three strong ox. One of them was tied up in front of her own small wagon,
and two were tied up in front of the super big one pushed by Samba.
They went to the rocky area again and spent a day picking up flints. After resting in the wild for a night,
Christina and Samba carried the flints onto the ox wagon the next day, and all they had to do was to
lead the oxen.
From time to time, Samba turned to look at the wagon behind him with wide eyes, then he looked at the
hemp rope in his hand, feeling incredible to be able to move so heavy a cargo with such a thin thread.
Christian simply sat on the back of the ox, not even bothering to lead it.
“… Samba, you’re overweight. So there’s no way for you to sit on the ox, and you can only lead it and
walk.” She was still not as tall as Samba on the back of the ox.
Although the wagon was not a high-tech product, it was already very advanced used on this primitive
ind.
Christina and Samba brought the flints to the market on the wagons, attracting the attention of many a

curious barbarian.
This trip to transport the flints took three days, which was half the time they had used to carry them on
their shoulders.
Christina looked at the two carts full of flints with an easy heart. Herrge hut had been built and a
room had been specially reserved for these flints.
Samba wisely used the woven by the vines as a bag to carefully store the flints.
Samba was used to putting tworge stone urns in front of his house and bringing fresh water back
from the river every day
There were also flowers. Samba picked some fruits in the forest and brought arge bunch of colorful
flowers on his way back. Although the flowers were randomly ced in a pile, the light fragrance they
exuded pervaded in the whole hut, and their beauty also added to the cozy atmosphere in the simple
hut.
“… Samba, you’re really good at housekeeping,” Christian couldn’t help but praise him.
In addition, what satisfied Christina the most was a “bathroom” separated in the thatched hut. She
asked Samba to carry a stone urn containing water into it, which was convenient for her to take a bath.
On this ind, it was a blessing to be able to take a bath every day.
Christina also taught Samba to dress. “Don’t tear It offl” She spent a lot of gold in exchange for cloth.
Although the dark blue coarse linen was not a good material, only the’ rich’ could afford it on this ind,
Raine, the smug and haughty one, was dressed up like a curry muncher in clothes as colorful as a
peacock, with strings of gems hanging on them.
Christina wanted Samba to get used to wearing clothes. At first, Samba was reluctant because he
found clothes troublesome, but he couldn’t stand Christina’s wrapping him up all the time, so
eventually, heplied.
In the middle of their hut was a log fire, around which Christina sat opposite Samba with an old iron pot
ced on top of it to boil water. Arge te of meat was thrown into the pot and boiled into meat
soup. Samba added some small tomatoes to add to the vor. Christina tasted it in a stone bowl and
was surprised to find it unusually tasty.
Christina suddenly had a feeling of settling down in a peaceful life.
Their hut was supported by a big tree. As long as it was not struck by lightning in a thunderstorm, it was
quitefortable.
Early in the next morning, Christina and Samba began to set up their stall and do business again.
There were actually other barbarians who imitated them to make barbecue, but she was not sure if it
was because they were toozy or they could not ovee their psychological barriers, the barbecue
they made was an entire prey directly thrown into the fire and scorched, without shedding fur, let alone
being cut open in the belly.
Of course, the taste of the barbecue was a lot worse, so there was no impact on Christina and Samba’s
business even if others followed suit. They still earned arge sum of money.
“… Samba, tell them that we’ve raised the price. Now one who buys a flint shall pay three pieces of
gold and will receive a bunch of barbecues.”
Christina gave clear instructions to Sambe before she sneaked away to take a nap under the shade of
a treezily
Samba continued to work hard to earn money alone.
“A wagon?”
]
Athis moment, a few special figures appeared in a group of barbarians. Charles looked at the two
simr “ox wagon” beside the table, astonished.
“Did this thinge in from outside, or did the barbarian make it himself?”
“It must have been brought in from outside. How could a savage have such wit?”
Finally, the stall they had been waiting for was set up. Charles and the others were very interested in
the barbarian merchant, but when they saw Samba who was doing business, they couldn’t help but feel
disappointed.
The vendor in this stall looked like an ordinary-looking barbarian, with nothing special about him.
