Chapter 883: Digging a Well and Kaolin (Three-in-One)

In the early morning, it was drizzling outside, and a fire was lit inside the cave of the Creek tribe.

The beating flames lit up the cave and the people in it.

Not far from the fire, a man lay down.

The man looked old, and his body was very dry, and there was no flesh.

The man lay motionless, even when the fire had burned her skin so hot, even a little burned, that she didn't move.

The reason why she can be so calm and endure is not because of how strong her skills are, but because she is dead.

The person who died was the old primitive man of the Creek tribe who ran out to the toilet many times after eating a lot of the new white food he ate yesterday, and finally got out of nothing.

She didn't die peacefully at all, and even at this time, her body was a little twisted.

In the cave of the Creek tribe, the people standing here looked very sad, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

A very small part of the people will have this kind of emotion, a very small part of it is because the old primitive man died, and more because with the death of the old primitive man, the news that was difficult for them to accept also appeared-the new white food, the new food that they had a lot of hope for and rejoiced in, could not be eaten, and after eating too much, people would die.

This is really extremely sad news for everyone in the Creek tribe.

Even the older female primitives, who were not too glad that they did not have such a tasting, fell into this deep grief.

Why can't you eat something that looks so good, or something that doesn't taste bad? How can you die if you eat it?

Although I felt deeply unwilling and sad about this, no one dared to try it again.

This is not only because the old primitive man has died, but also because the female primitive man died too painfully after eating a lot of this kind of thing.

The painful wail, and the uncomfortable appearance that the stomach was full of, but it couldn't come out, made people's hearts tremble unconsciously when they looked at it, and they didn't want to touch these things again.

After a period of grief over the sudden transformation of an expected new food into a deadly poison, many people began to become frightened.

Because they remembered that they had all eaten some of these things yesterday.

Although I still don't have a stomachache or the symptoms of an old primitive, it's still scary to think about.

“ERT#$!”

The leader of the Creek tribe looked at the dead old primitive, thinking about her miserable appearance, and couldn't calm down.

After all, yesterday, before the old primitives were allowed to increase the amount of food they ate for tasting, many people in their tribe had eaten some of this terrible thing.

What if they all died......

He opened his mouth and told people to throw the rest of the things out of the cave, and the farther away the better.

This kind of thing, he didn't want to stay in the cave for a moment, for fear that more people would die because of it.

"#¥% Blue Sparrow Tribe, Miko #¥ Salt ......"

But not all people are so frightened by such things and things that they want to throw away this terrible thing, such as some worshippers of the Qingque tribe, who raised the Qingque tribe at this time, and said the Son of God, as well as salt.

The use of unseen stones, beast cubs, seeds, and other things to trade salt has not stopped for years.

It's just that because the things they encounter have basically been traded, and new things are hard to find, everyone is slowly a little less concerned about them.

After hearing this person's words at this moment, the leaders of the Xi tribe all felt that their eyes lit up, and their hearts were ecstatic, and they felt that they had grabbed a life-saving straw at once.

The exchange of this newfound thing for salt is secondary, and the most important thing is that they can go to the wise Son of God and ask what this new thing is, and whether those who have not eaten much will die in the same agony as this old primitive man in the future.

It was proposed that we set out now, take this terrifying white earth-like thing, and go to the Blue Sparrow tribe to find the Son of Wisdom.

But the leader of the Creek tribe was a little hesitant, on the one hand, because the tribe did not have enough food to supply himself and others to eat on the road, and on the other hand, it was still raining outside.

My tribe is not very close to the Qingque tribe, and it takes nearly two days to walk to reach it, so it is not a good thing to be drenched in the rain for such a long time......

However, this hesitation of the leader of the Creek tribe quickly disappeared, not because of who said something heartwarming, but because several of the people in the tribe began to have a stomachache, and their stomachs were still a little swollen.

It's nowhere near as serious as the old primitives, but it's scary enough.

After such a thing, the people of the Creek tribe began to become panicked.

Instead of feeling sad that they couldn't eat it, they began to worry and fear whether they would survive or not.

Under such circumstances, the leader of the Creek tribe did not hesitate any longer, and he quickly set out from the tribe with his people towards the powerful and kind Qingque tribe.

Those who had tasted that terrible thing yesterday all went with the leader of the Creek tribe, and none of them were left behind.

Along the way, the people walked quickly and hurriedly, more actively than when they were hunting for food.

It's not good if you're not active, because over time, more than half of the people who tried to eat those white things yesterday have developed abdominal pain, or symptoms like bloating.

Driven by fear and the threat of death, these people can't do it without being active.

The leader of the Creek tribe was anxious and terrified of the package of hides he was carrying.

If it weren't for the need for Miko to see what these things were, he would have thrown them far away at this time, not wanting to carry them for a moment.

"#4神子!"

He shouted loudly at the frightened people, reassuring them.

At this moment, he, and everyone in his tribe, pinned their hopes on the wise Divine Son, hoping that the Divine Son would find a way to solve their predicament......

The clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and a white sun appeared in the sky.

After about half an hour, the sun finally began to shine, and the three-and-a-half-day rain came to an end.

In the Qingque tribe, after seeing such a bright sunshine, many people were full of smiles, and even Han Cheng, a person who likes to watch and listen to the rain, couldn't help but be full of joy after seeing this sun.

After all, listening to the rain and watching the rain, it's okay if the time is short, but after a long time, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable, especially the dampness that seems to be everywhere, and after surging up in an all-round way, making a lot of things damp, that feeling is really uncomfortable.

Not to mention that the Qingque tribe still relies on planting crops to make a living, and the rainy days are too long and not conducive to the growth of crops in the tribe.

As a person who exists like a landlord and old wealth, Han Chengke really can't put aside the crops and just care about the 'prince and grandson shaking the fan. ’

After a rainy day, a lot of grass grows in the crops.

It is also strange to say that the grass in the crops is hoeed by the people of the tribe every day and every year, but they are always unable to hoe.

All it takes is one rain for the guys to emerge from the ground and start Crazy Grow mode.

But now there is no way to hoe the grass in the ground, because the rain has soaked the ground thoroughly, and when people go into the ground, they will sink into it.

I can only wait for a day and a half, let the wind and sun take away some moisture, make the soil more solid, and then hoe the grass inside.

Without the replenishment of rainwater, the small river in front of the tribe gradually calmed down, and the river receded, leaving a lot of scum on both banks.

However, the river is still muddy, and if you want it to be clear, you will have to wait a day or two.

These days, it is more difficult to get water in the tribe, the river is too turbid, and it takes half a day to clear it when you put it in a jar.

Therefore, after it rained for half a day and the rain washed away the tiles on the roof, the people of the tribe put a lot of water storage utensils under the eaves to catch the rainwater and eat it......

It seems that it is time to dig two wells in the tribe for water.

Han Cheng looked at the river that still looked turbid, and then thought back to the fact that it was difficult for the tribe to use water whenever it rained, and muttered like this.

It just so happens that now is a relatively free time, and according to the itinerary, it will take a long time for the senior brother to come back, and before they come back, it will be enough for them to let people dig two wells in the tribe.

said that the wind is the rain, and it was Han Cheng at this time, and after such an idea rose, Han Cheng immediately implemented it.

"Miko, what is a well?"

After listening to Han Cheng say something, Wu Yan asked Han Cheng about the new term 'well' with a confused face.

"It's digging a deep pit in the ground, and water comes out of it, and after resting, it becomes a well.

The well is used for drinking water, it is like a big tank, but the water in it cannot be eaten, and after eating some of it, it will spring out of its own.

If there is a well in our tribe, we don't have to go to the river to get water in the future, which is very convenient.

Moreover, even if it rains heavily and the river is muddy, the water in the well will not be muddy.

Oh, by the way, the well water is still warm in winter and cool in summer, in summer, soak some fruits in well water before eating, the taste will become better, and it is also comfortable to wash your face.

In winter, wash your hands and face with well water without feeling cold. ”

Han Cheng explained to Wu with a smile.

And by the way, the benefits of well water are told.

"You can think of it as a spring, just like the one near the Salt Mountain, except that the spring in the Salt Mountain is shallow from the ground, and when we dig the well, we need to dig deeper and thicker so that it can hold more water."

Seeing that Wu didn't understand too much, Han Cheng thought about it, and then continued to tell Wu what a well was, and used the analogy of the spring in Salt Mountain to illustrate.

After Han Cheng said the spring of Salt Mountain, Wu immediately became abrupt.

Thinking about moving a spring larger than the spring of Salt Mountain to his tribe, and then thinking about the benefits of the gods, Wu couldn't help but feel excited.

Not only Wu, but also Heiwa, Shi Tietou, Senior Brother Sha and other people who also heard Han Cheng say this matter on the side, they were all moved.

"Son of God, will it ...... Could it be like a spring, where water is always flowing out? ”

The stone is always able to see something that the rest of the people don't notice.

For example, now, when everyone was rejoicing at the benefits of the well that Han Cheng had said, the stone guy remembered that the spring water in the salt mountain would come out of the spring and flow elsewhere.

It would not be good if the well that Miko said would flow water out of the same way as the spring water in the salt mountain.

It is also necessary to dig channels among the tribes and lure them out.

"No, it won't."

After understanding what the stone meant, Han Cheng said with a smile.

"The well is very deep, and the spring below is far from the ground, and when the water in it gathers to a certain extent, it will not rise any further, and after the water is eaten, it will still spring up, but it will not rise again."

Unless the well is drilled into a particularly prosperous underground water vein, which directly becomes a fountain-like existence, otherwise, the well water will not overflow outside.

After listening to Han Cheng's explanation, everyone was relieved and at the same time, they also felt very magical about this characteristic of the well.

It didn't take long to explain to everyone, and the matter of digging the well was decided.

The matter proposed by Han Cheng was not disagreed with by everyone in the tribe.

Once you've decided on a well, the next thing you need to do is determine where to dig it.

The water well is naturally close to the kitchen.

After all, this is the place where the tribe uses the most clean water, and it is close to the kitchen to get water.

Moreover, according to Han Cheng's hometown, the well is a dragon, and no matter where it is dug, it will not break the ring of feng shui.

With these, the location of the well was very well determined, and in an open place not too far from the tribal dining hall, it was quickly drawn a circle by Han Cheng.

The kind with a diameter of two and a half meters.

Then let people find bamboo, light it in the circle, and symbolically crackle a few times, all as firecrackers.

Then it broke ground directly, and it was a neat mess.

It had just rained, so the soil was very easy to dig, and the tools in the tribe were relatively easy to use, so it didn't take too long to dig down half a meter deep.

However, as the well gets deeper, the speed of excavation becomes slower, and after one meter down, it becomes more laborious.

The handles of the copper shovels and pickaxes in the tribe are too long, and they can't be used in them.

However, this kind of thing was not embarrassing to Han Cheng at all, so let the limp come over with a saw, cut off the extra handle, and everything was solved.

Although the short handle is not as comfortable as the long handle, the progress has been sped up a lot.

You don't need too many people to do something like digging a well.

The main thing is that the space under the well is limited, and it can't accommodate too many people digging the well there.

After the well was dug more than a meter deep, it became two people digging here.

And one person is digging here, and the other is waiting outside, and the two of them take turns.

After determining the well in the kitchen, Han Chengcheng took people to the outer courtyard not too far from the livestock shed gathering area and drew a circle, so that people could dig a well here.

The well is mainly used to provide drinking water for the livestock.

In winter, it is much better to drink warm water from a well than to bring cold water from the river and break through the ice.

Under normal circumstances, Han Cheng would not let people eat the water in this well, especially after it rained in summer.

This is mainly due to the fact that a lot of the rainwater that pours into the barns seeps into the ground and then collects into the well water.

If the pen is not cleaned in time, the well water will become relatively yellow in a few days after a rainstorm......

When the people of the Qingque tribe began to try to dig a well under the guidance of Han Dashenzi, a group of people led by the leader of the Xi tribe hurried to the vicinity of the Qingque tribe.

"#¥WE Blue Sparrow!"

After seeing the wall of the Qingque tribe standing there from a distance, the leaders of the Creek tribe couldn't help but cheer.

Then he quickened his pace and walked towards the Blue Sparrow Tribe, and even his pace was much faster.

Soon, however, they stopped and stood where they were.

Because they had been spotted by the dogs of the Blue Sparrow tribe who were freeing up around the tribe, these dogs ran over and stopped in front of them.

In this situation, the leaders of the Creek tribe were already surprised, knowing that as long as they didn't rush forward, or turned around and ran away, these wolves raised by the Qingque tribe would not pounce on them and others.

Therefore, Shang stood here and waited for the people of the Qingque tribe to come and pick him up and the others.

The situation here quickly attracted the attention of the people in the Blue Sparrow tribe.

A moment later, a group of men with weapons came out.

"Creek! Creek! Green Sparrow! ”

The leader of the Creek tribe shouted loudly, identifying himself to the people of the Qingque tribe who had come over against him and the others.

After hearing the shout of the leader of the Xi tribe, the Qingque tribesmen who came over showed a smile on their faces and seemed to relax a lot.

However, they did not directly drink the dogs back, but still walked to the front, and after making sure that these people were indeed from the Xi tribe, they drank the dogs back and led these people towards the tribe.

"¥%#神子, it hurts ......"

On the way to walk, some people from the Qingque tribe asked these people of the Xi tribe about their intentions, and the leader of the Xi tribe even expressed his expression with a gesture, looking anxious and excited......

"Something came to me? Stomach ache? ”

In the outer courtyard, Han Cheng, who was guiding the drilling of wells here, said with some confusion after hearing the advice of the person who came back first.

"Let them wait outside the door, and I'll go out to meet them."

Han Cheng thought for a moment and said out loud.

He was worried that these people would have some kind of infectious disease, and if they rashly entered his tribe, they would spread it to the rest of the people.

After explaining this, Han Cheng asked people to quickly bring some masks made of fine linen cloth and asked those who were going out to bring them, and he also brought one himself.

This kind of mask made of several layers of fine linen is, of course, far less effective than the medical masks of later generations, and even the effect of disposable masks.

But it's better than nothing at all.

And it can also act as a placebo.

Kneeling has been a means of expression of surrender and supplication that has been able to be understood by people for many generations.

After Han Cheng walked out of the tribe with a mask and some people and came to these people of the Xi tribe, the leader of the Xi tribe knelt down with the people of the Xi tribe and fell to the ground.

He whined and spoke some words mixed with a little Mandarin.

Those who eat more white dirt, have a swollen stomach, or have more pain, are more religious.

They longed for the wise Son of God to have a way to heal them.

Don't let them die in agony like the old primitives.

"Take that out and I'll take a look."

After a while, after roughly understanding what was going on, Han Cheng, who was relieved, said to the leader of the Xi tribe and took off his mask.

Now that he knew that these people were suffering from food poisoning and not some kind of disease, he didn't have to be so careful, and there was no need to wear a mask again.

After understanding what Han Cheng meant, the leader of the Xi tribe looked cautious and with some horror and opened the package of the animal skin he was carrying, revealing the contents wrapped inside.

After these white dirt were exposed, people, including the leader of the Creek tribe, couldn't help but step back a little, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at these white earth-like things.

The people of the Qingque tribe who knew what happened to these people also seemed more panicked and vigilant.

Some people even unconsciously stood in front of Han Cheng.

"It's okay, as long as you don't eat it, it won't cause harm to people."

Seeing the people of his tribe so nervous, and seeing the white earth-like things that were revealed, Han Cheng's heart beat violently, calmed down his mood a little, and said to the tribesmen who were like a great enemy.

Then he walked towards the white dirt, his steps were unconsciously a little weak, and his lips were a little dry.

This is not because his tolerance is too weak, but because according to the stories of these people, as well as the symptoms, and the appearance of this white soil, he thought of another thing - Guanyin soil!

It's the kind of soil that when there is a famine, people can't stand it and go to eat.

As a person who liked to watch some history before crossing over, Han Cheng knew those who ate Guanyin soil.

These indigestible things are eaten in the stomach, and after a period of time, symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating will appear, and it is normal to operate if you can't relieve the stool.

These people who eat Guanyin soil will also die because of it.

Of course, this is not the reason why Han Cheng is so excited, the reason why he is excited is that Guanyin soil also has a name - kaolin!
