Lao Niu is a bull-orc. He has no name and everyone calls him Lao Niu.
Most orcs have no names.
He was the oldest among these bull orcs, in his forties, but he couldn't remember exactly how old he was.
Following the Rat Beastman and bringing his family to Red Leaf City, he had no complaints. He had experienced this kind of migration too many times since he was a child and had long been accustomed to it.
The only difference compared to before is that this time they came to the human place and even wanted to live in peace with humans.
The old cow didn't know much about humans. He just heard from others that humans were smart, cunning, weak, etc., and he thought so before yesterday.
But now he doesn't think so.
No engines? These orcs are completely human-shaped engines! "Go and ask Knight Marlowe and the rat orc to come to the castle to see me!"

The wife held the old cow's hand.
"Yes, one of the bull-orcs broke our cart."
"yes!"
"What exactly happened? No one was injured!"
No, add more.
Looking at the man pushing the cart away with a grunt, the old ox pushed it a little.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work!"
Lao Niu scratched his head, not knowing why Zhang Feng would ask such a question. How could it be tiring to carry such a few stones? If these stones were not difficult to place, he would have no problem carrying a few more.
We all know how heavy the stone is. Can you carry something weighing more than ten tons and jog? You read that right!
Let's not talk about how he stacked these super-large stones together, nor how he could walk steadily without letting the stones fall. Just talking about these large stones, how could he possibly carry them! According to the density of common stones, one cubic meter is about 2.5 to 3 tons. Zhang Feng estimated that the stones on the shoulders of this bull beastman weighed at least 4 cubic meters.
"City, City Lord?"
"As long as you work hard, food and accommodation are just the basics. I will also give you a salary every month that you can use freely. In addition, I am currently recruiting more educated people to set up a school to teach children to read and write. Both human and orc children can come to learn. Of course, the premise is that you work hard and don't cheat!"
"Okay, everyone, get to work. Each of you will be assigned a cart."
Lao Niu didn't know why the child in his arms suddenly became happy. He was afraid of making Zhang Feng unhappy, so he quickly comforted him.
He had tried his best to overestimate the orcs, but he still underestimated them! Seeing the performance of this bull orc was like opening the door to a new century for Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng reached out and patted his shoulder, then said to the soldier next to him: "If the orcs feel that our tools restrict their work, we can let them choose the method they like."
Following these humans to the foot of the city wall, Lao Niu was still shocked to see such a high city wall again.
…
Compared to the two-meter-tall old bull, this bull-orc is much slimmer. She is thin where she should be thin, and fat where she should be fat. She is not as burly as the old bull, with tendon meat all over her body. Moreover, the horns on her head are very mini, not as scary as the old bull's.
Zhang Feng looked at the orc nanny and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Feng felt that the name he came up with was a good one. He was so strong, so it was okay to call him Dali.
Watching the city lord speaking on the stage, Lao Niu knew that if he wanted his children to have a bright future and not be as useless as himself, then learning was essential.
"Niu...Niu Dali?"
Just like now, the most knowledgeable among these orcs is Lord Fox, followed by the Rat Orc, and the two of them are the leaders of the orcs.
Lao Niu found that some stones had been piled here. Through the open city gate, he could see a large open space outside the city with many large stones.
The bull-orc scratched his head.
It was crushed by the stone.
For some orcs, this is like saving their lives! Although Lao Niu thinks he can survive this winter, he is not sure that his family can survive, especially his child who is less than one year old.
This scene completely shocked Zhang Feng.
However, when he arrived at the city gate and saw the current situation, Zhang Feng was so surprised that his mouth opened so wide that he could fit an egg in it.
Treat it as a machine, there is absolutely no problem at all!
Before, he had always regarded these orcs as human beings, but now it seems that he doesn't have to regard them as human beings at all!
"My Lord, I'm sorry, I took your cart..."
Well, I was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food.
Still light.
After finishing speaking, Lao Niu seemed to remember something and continued:
The soldier replied quickly.
"Lao Niu, we must work hard later and not let down the city lord's hopes!"
"Are you hurt?"
Looking at Zhang Feng who was lost in thought, Lao Niu felt a little nervous, wondering whether Zhang Feng would punish him.
Lao Niu's voice was muffled, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Feng.
Too light! He remembered what Zhang Feng said - if you want to work hard, just pushing these stones over, does that count as hard work? Of course not, so Lao Niu added a few more stones.
BANG! The cart fell apart.
In other words, this bull-orc was carrying something weighing more than ten tons and walking very fast, so how could he have time to look after the child in his arms?
Lao Niu was stunned for a moment, then thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, Lord City Lord, for the name. Thank you, Lord City Lord, for the name! From now on... I, Lao Niu, will also have a name!"
The soldier replied quickly.
An ox-orc who was estimated to be about two meters tall was trotting. He was carrying several stones on his shoulders that were at least four meters high in total. He held them with one hand to prevent them from falling, and with his other hand, he touched his chest from time to time. Zhang Feng then discovered that there was an orc child tied to his chest, who seemed to be a calf orc.
At first glance, the child looks no different from a human baby, but if you look closely, you can see that he has two very small horns on his forehead. The color is the same as the horns on the old cow's head, but the horns on the old cow's head are long and thick, and look very intimidating.
The little calf orc in his arms didn't know what was going on. After hearing the loud noise, he was not scared but cried out happily.
It's just moving things, it's really simple! Lao Niu thought to himself.
"yes!"
Zhang Feng was somewhat amazed. He walked around the old cow twice and found that, compared with humans, the cow seemed to be no different except that it was taller and stronger!
This is unscientific!
And now, there is this opportunity.
Zhang Feng looked at the bull orc and asked.
He didn't know about other humans, but the humans in Hongye City, the Lord of Hongye City, was definitely the kindest human! Not only did he provide these orcs with three meals a day, he also built stone houses for them and even gave them a job to make money!
Zhang Feng had to remind the orcs that there are thousands of roads, and safety is the first priority, and they cannot violate the rules and overload.
Zhang Feng did not respond to his words. Instead, he looked at the fact that there was no sweat on the forehead of this bull beastman, and asked in surprise: "Didn't you feel tired carrying those stones just now?"
"Don't worry, I know!"
After a moment, Zhang Feng came back to his senses and said, "You did a great job. You don't have to pay for the cart!"
"Your task at the moment is very simple, which is to move some materials from outside the city and place them here."
As soon as Zhang Feng returned to the castle, he heard the news from the soldiers.
Looking at Niu Dali who was as happy as a child weighing over 500 pounds, Zhang Feng waved his hand.
Lao Niu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Zhang Feng must be asking about the damage to the cart, and suddenly he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Some crazy ideas gradually appeared in Zhang Feng's mind.
How fast can you carry it yourself! That cart is just a burden! After the bull orc safely delivered the more than ten tons of stone, Zhang Feng asked someone to call him over.
Lao Niu answered in a muffled voice.
It is very common for orc children to die young. Lao Niu has seen it many times, but he does not want to see his own child suffer the same fate. If there is a chance, he is willing to give the best to his child and let him live safely until he can take care of himself.
There are no such things in the other world, so no matter how fast the construction is, it won’t be very fast.
Not only Zhang Feng was shocked, all the humans here were shocked.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Although the calf orc was tied up very tightly, he did not cry or make a fuss, perhaps because the binding technique was good. He stared at the old cow's chin with his big eyes and even babbled. He wanted to pull the old cow's beard with his hands, but unfortunately, his hands were tied and he could not stretch them out.
When the twelfth stone was finally put in, Lao Niu nodded. He was actually still not very satisfied, but this two-wheeled wooden cart was only this big and it couldn't hold more.
Niu Dali walked away happily, muttering something like he had a name as he walked.
Zhang Feng looked at Niu Dali's departing back, and then looked at the orcs who were carrying stones like Niu Dali.
Seeing that Zhang Feng had actually come, Lao Niu was no longer as leisurely as he was just now. He was a little nervous, after all, he had just broken someone's cart.
"I don't know how you can tell each other apart. Maybe you have a special method, but for us humans, names are more important. And it would be inconvenient without a name, and I can't remember it. From now on, I'll call you... Niu Dali!"
Zhang Feng frowned, then asked, "Then how do you identify each other? If you cattle orcs all call each other Old Cow, how do you know that they are calling you?"
"No, no, my skin is tough, it won't get hurt!"
He participated in the design of this two-wheeled cart. Although it is made of wood, its load-bearing capacity is quite good and it can easily pull a half-ton load.
It was obvious that this bull orc was overloaded.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord City Lord. Don't worry, I will compensate you for the car after I save up enough money!"
But it’s not that heavy!
A somewhat shy smile appeared on the bull orc's face.
This is Lao Niu’s wife, a female bull-orc.
The construction worker pointed to the base of the city wall.
"I don't know, but if my wife calls me, I'll definitely hear it!"
He couldn't imagine how the city wall could be built so high. Humans are truly amazing.
"Let's go and take a look first."
He thought of modern industrial equipment, such as large trucks, excavators, mixers, cranes...
But the Maverick Orc was not afraid and even opened his mouth.
But what if these devices are available?
"Tired? Not tired?"
Zhang Feng was speechless. This shouldn't be a matter of just putting a few more pieces in.
Lao Niu tightened the cloth strips tied around his body, and a child was tied to his chest with the cloth strips.
The old cow looked at his hands, his eyes a little confused. Could he have gotten into trouble on his first day at work?
"I don't have a name. Everyone calls me Lao Niu."
But as soon as Lao Niu started pushing.
Pushing the cart out of the door, the old cow imitated a human and moved a few stones onto the cart.
The old cow looked down at the child and said nothing. He turned his head and looked at a bull-orc next to him who was a few sizes younger than him.
"It seems that the bull-orc thought the cart didn't hold enough stones, so he put a few stones in, and then..."
Zhang Feng even poked the bulging muscles on the bull orc's arm. Except for being a little harder, it was almost the same as his own! The little calf orc in his arms looked at Zhang Feng curiously. Zhang Feng made a face at the little calf orc when the big bull orc was not paying attention.
"Eh? Something happened?"
Zhang Feng ordered the soldiers.
"yes."
