Suddenly, a kind of insect appeared. It looked like a " dog scorpion " in the soil. They had pincers on their mouths. There were thousands of them everywhere.

It was only two or three stories tall. Qian Shuai climbed up the wooden pagoda and complained that it was shaking. "There are no tiles on the wooden pagoda, so it's light. That's why it's like this," said the craftsman. So he asked people to lay the tiles on the tower, but the wooden tower was still shaking as before. When he had no other choice, the craftsman secretly sent his wife to meet Yu Hao's wife and gave her a golden hairpin, asking her to ask Yu Hao about the reason for the wooden pagoda's shaking. Yu Hao smiled." That's easy. You just have to lay the planks layer by layer and nail them down. They won't sway." The craftsman followed his instructions and the tower stabilized. Because the wooden planks were nailed down, the top and bottom were tightly bound together. The top, bottom, left, right, front, and back were connected to each other like a box. When a person stepped on the floor, the top, bottom, and surrounding walls supported each other, so of course, they would not shake. Everyone admired Yu Hao's cleverness.
