In the dim light of the torches, the people soon came to the digging place, where a bonfire was burning beside it, and several torches were inserted in the earthen wall at the bottom of the well to illuminate the well diggers. Not far away, a large amount of excavated soil was piled up, and the newly dug up was shiny with water, and the water was constantly seeping downward.

Ding Qi lined up the crowd and stretched out his head to look down, the bottom of the well flickered and darkened, and as the people moved, there was a sound of hula and water. Through the not-so-bright light, the water seemed to have just reached the calves. Tinch turned to the rat and said:

"To avoid accidents, pull people up first!"

As soon as the work of the copper mine was handed over in the evening, the responsibility here was assumed by the rat, so Ding Qi arranged for the rat to do this. As for the accident, the main reason is that he is worried that if he digs into the underground water vein, the water gushing out will fill the entire well pit in a short time, and it is very likely that a drowning accident will occur.

Soon someone brought a rope and dragged the people at the bottom of the well up, helped them to sit in front of the campfire, and after a long time of physical work, their bodies were already soaked. It's still early spring, and the weather is still cold at night, so it's better to keep warm.

"Old Black, isn't the water down there cold?"

Ding Qi saw that they were relieved, and asked one of them directly, this person was a green slave, shirtless, wrapped in an animal skin skirt under his body, and his legs were stained with muddy water, and under the scorching heat of the bonfire, the top muddy water had dried up. Lao Hei's single name is a "black" character, he looks black and strong, especially after the food is sufficient, and his body is as strong as a cow. Now the light is dim, if it is daytime, people can know how dark he is, and he is angry and fierce Zhang Fei does not let Hei Li Kui!

Qingnu is very familiar with Ding Qike, and Ding Qi leads them to work together often in winter. Although he is the leader and the legendary Aragami, Ding Qi never behaves properly, eats and drinks at work, and everyone recognizes each other very much from the bottom of their hearts. Although everyone's identity has changed from the green tribe to the green slave, they have never felt like slaves here, and everyone treats themselves as members of the tribe.

"Hey, Chief, it's not cold. In fact, the water was still warm at the beginning, which made people feel quite comfortable, and it didn't feel a little cold until they came up. It's okay, everyone can resist it! ”

Ding Qi was about to praise him for a few words, but another person on the side came coldly:

"Can you resist? That's your old black, I can't stand it anymore! ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, Ding Qi even laughed with the people around him, and Lao Hei next to him was also embarrassed.

Ma Zhu'er's real name is Pole, he is still thin, after Ding Qi got acquainted with them, he directly called him Ma Gong'er, and everyone called him Shunkou. Just like the old black, they think it's a name given by the Aragami, baby! However, Ma Gonger often quarrels with Lao Hei and contradicts him, but the relationship is usually very good.

"Okay, Ma Gong'er, you like to go against the old black. Tonight, each of you will eat an extra piece of meat until you are full! ”

As soon as Ding Qi finished speaking, Lao Hei and the others jumped up happily, turned around and ran towards the rest area, as if they were afraid that someone would eat an extra piece of meat. Usually their food is barbecue and broth, two pieces of barbecue, the amount is full, plus a big bowl of soup, just Lao Hei's appetite, Ding Qi estimates that he can't finish it.

Next to the well stood a few people such as the goshawk and eagle and falcon of the Blue Bird tribe, and they felt incredible when they saw Ding Qi talking so close to a slave. How can anyone treat a slave like this? What kind of slave is this? But seeing that everyone respects Ding Qi, they also feel from the bottom of their hearts that it is right to follow Ding Qi, and such a leader can make everyone worship.

Aragami!

Due to the darkness of the night, Ding Qi directly asked everyone to go back, so as not to have an accident, although it was not far from the rest area, but in case there were wild beasts ambushed around, it would not be good to hurt people.

The next day, Ding Qi took the barn and the rat with them, as well as a few people from the Blue Bird Tribe

and came to the well again.

Looking down from above, the depth of the entire well is about thirteen meters, which is a little less than Ding Qi's estimate yesterday. But when Ding Qi asked Lao Hei to put him down, the water that spread to Lao Hei's waist made everyone exclaim, they really didn't expect that there would be so much water in the night, and it was quite clear.

The main purpose of letting the old black go down is to measure the water depth, and the other is to determine whether the underground is stuffy. It's better to lay stones underneath than to avoid trouble.

After pulling the person up and asking the other party how he felt, Ding Qi held a meeting at the scene to reiterate yesterday's plans and arrangements.

The well can be dug down another meter here, but be safe. After digging, lay stones at the bottom of the well, thick enough so that the stones on top will not overturn. At the same time, people went to find some stones, and chisels were used to chisel the stones into rectangles of uniform size, and piled them up like adobe walls in the tribe. After the wall of the well is built, a few logs are built on the well, and a roller is erected on top of it as a tool for carrying water. As for the tools for holding water, don't worry about this, there are clay pots and clay pots.

Ding Qi also talked in detail about the shape and principle of the wheel, and asked the rat to arrange people to make it, as for the others, they had a concept first, Ding Qi planned to dig a few wells in the tribe after he went back, so that they could get acquainted with it, maybe the wells built would be better!

The size of the tribe will be expanded several times this year, and the original residential area is no longer suitable for the current development speed, especially considering the increase in tribes and populations in the future, so the planned residential area of the tribe will be expanded a lot. Then, everyone's drinking water problem will be put on the agenda, and you can't go to the river every day to fetch water, which is a waste of manpower and time, and the efficiency is too low.

As for the mining method of fire and water intensity, Ding Qi explained the precautions to the rats to avoid hurting people. Now the population of the tribe is expensive, one more person will have more strength, and the speed of development will be faster, and it will accumulate over time, which is also a big help!

In the next few days, except for the wounded who could not move, all the others went to the forest under the leadership of Ding Qi to cut down trees, cut them down and transport them to the residential area by pulling them by horse-drawn deer, helping these left-behind people to build a real living area, planning a fence, a house, a tool room, a toilet, a watchtower, a horse shed, etc., so that they can live more comfortably and safely.

Listening to Baifang, before the snow melted, a saber-toothed tiger really couldn't resist hunger, and secretly came to the mine to attack the green slave, but was found by the staff on duty standing on a high place, warned in advance, and drove the other party away from the joint efforts of people to avoid being eaten by the saber-toothed tiger. So safety must come first, how do you say that? Safety is no trivial matter, and responsibility is greater than the sky!

There is a lot of strength in people, and more than 100 people move, and the speed is really fast!

The rat looked at the new residential area in front of him, and his heart was called happy and beautiful! kept scolding in front of White Fang, but Ding Qi's words extinguished his arrogance.

"Since you live in such good conditions, your production power will have to be doubled! The copper that comes out of refining will have to be doubled! ”

Before Ding Qi left, he left enough daily necessities for the mine, mainly salt, dandelion tea and calamus grass. There was enough salt, but the other two things had bottomed out, and they only kept a small bag for themselves, and the rest for the rats. At the same time, teach them that when some wild vegetables in the field come out, they should also collect more food to supplement the body's vitamins. As for the production materials, in addition to a small number of axes and shovels, they also left nearly 100 catties of tin powder, ready to let the rats themselves produce cross manuscripts, bronze hammers and other production tools here.

Considering that there were still a lot of horses in the Valley of the Wild Horses, and that most of them were on foot on the way back, Tinch left ten more horses for the rats, and a total of twenty horses to be kept here as colts. This made the rat even happier, but Ding Qi increased the output of copper plates by 50% for him, which made the rat frown and made him white

Tooth snickered, and his heart was finally balanced.

The day after a grand bonfire, Tinch set out on his way home again with a team that had not been reduced much.

Due to the large number of people, the two tribes plus slaves had more than a hundred people, most of them on foot, and there were weak and wounded slaves in the ranks, and the return speed was not fast.

Seven days later, the crowd came to the place of exchange.

Compared to before, the place of exchange at this moment has become more orderly and quiet. Shuilian and another member of the team managed the slaves very well, organizing them to hunt, collect forage, and feed the baby reindeer, which was also very good. When the little reindeer saw their mothers, they screamed with longing, so they got out of the deer pen and crowded into the deer herd to find their mothers.

Cang saw his newlywed wife who had been separated for many days, and he also looked up and down tightly, for fear that Shuilian would bump into him in the past few days of his absence. This can make the White Fang stunned, don't dazzle, is he still the hunting captain of everyone?

Everyone packed up the camp and prepared to eat and rest, and Shui Lian hurried to Ding Qi after storing it with Cang Wen for a while.

"Chief, I'll give you a briefing. A few days before you returned, a group of people from the Graystone tribe inquired about your whereabouts, and the leader was called Rock. I don't know their intentions, and I don't know where you're going, but I tell him that you haven't returned. Later, after a night's rest here, Iwa left, saying that he was going to our tribe. I think this is a bit strange, so I'll report it to you. ”

Ding Qi heard that Yan brought a few people over, and after a little thought, he understood that this should be something that happened to the Graystone Tribe, otherwise he would not have come to him directly, and would have to find the Ding tribe. Ding Qi praised her, and Shui Lian was pulled away by the warehouse who followed her, as for what to do, of course, she did what she had to do!

After a day's rest, after everyone had packed up the swap plot, Tinch continued to lead the group to the Bronco Valley.

Wild Horse Valley is actually not far from here, according to the previous footsteps, it is three days, if you ride a horse, it is estimated that you can reach it in one day. Dantinch took so many people and so many things with him that it took him four days to get there. This couldn't help but make Ding Qi sigh that if it was an ancient infantry march, it might be slower.

Wow~

Above the Wild Horse Valley, a golden eagle let out a crisp chirp and hovered above to show Ding Qi the way.

During this period of time, Xiao Jin's life was very ordinary, every day he either flew in the air to indicate the direction or ran out to find fresh food to eat when he was hungry and tired, or stopped on Xiao Erhei's back to take a nap, which made him miss the time when he went out with Ding Qi to fight with people.

That's exciting!

Xiao Jin's chirp is very familiar to the people of the Ding tribe. No, after hearing the cry of the golden eagle, the five of them excitedly mounted their horses and rushed to the direction of the exchange place, where a large group of people were winding up, and the horse that took the lead was the coquettish little Erhei.

Herod~

Xiao Erhei was carrying Ding Qi, cocking the horsetail, and Tsundere Phenol stepped on a brisk horse and rushed towards the oncoming five people and five horses, where there was a white horse, Tu was riding, and Xiao Erhei had teased the resentful woman horse before.

The resentful woman didn't want to run yet, thinking that the black guy was crazy, and he was a little absent-minded when he ran, and even the human who took good care of it on his back didn't want to care. If it weren't for the fact that he was feeding himself hard, he wouldn't want to run, and he felt that he had lovesickness and his fat had fallen off!

But how can it be that there seems to be a familiar voice calling you in front of you? Suddenly raised his eyes and looked, yo, isn't this a good turtle grandson who thinks about it all night? It's so hard to wait for the old lady!

咴儿咴儿~

The white horse rushed straight to the negative man, and almost threw the dirt off the horse's back.
