Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 179 Digging a well for water
Ding Qi was very satisfied with them, although it was by Qiu that they consumed the strength of the Blackwater tribe in advance, their appearance completely turned the balance of victory in favor of the four tribes. Being able to wipe out most of the people is something to be proud of. But he was really speechless about the old hen-like protection of the bear, and if he hadn't appeared in advance, he might have been able to wipe out the other living force brought by Mizuzawa.
If Ding Qi knew that it was because the bear let go of the water snake and killed the people, the Graystone tribe was wiped out, I don't know how he would feel. Of course, the fuse in this is because of that net, but no matter what, it is inseparable from the Ding tribe.
At the same time, Black Bull, the leader of the Red Bull tribe, and their doctor rhinoceros and Black Bull father are discussing joining the Ding tribe.
As a medical witch, the rhinoceros knows that he is qualified to be the leader of this child, he is calm and decisive and not reckless, and he also knows how to deal with people. But as a father, the rhinoceros feels that there are too many things to think about by himself, always worrying about this and that, and sometimes there is a feeling of hating iron but not steel. I always hope that my tribe can make greater progress in the hands of the black bull, the population can be improved, the food will be more abundant, and I can protect my tribe and people from being bullied by foreign forces.
Judging from this exchange meeting, his tribe is still too weak. If it weren't for the intervention and protection of the leader of the Ding tribe, I am afraid that my children and clansmen would not be able to come back, and they would become slaves of the Blackwater tribe or be killed.
And when it comes to the Ding tribe, if what Hei Niu said is true, then the development speed and strength of the people will definitely not be comparable to the Heishui tribe, and sooner or later they will become a super tribe that surpasses the Heishui tribe.
Beyond the Blackwater Tribe? It is absolutely easy to throw off a few streets of the Blackwater Tribe, this is what Leader Ding said, although he doesn't even know what the street is.
What kind of tribe is that? Could it be the legendary tribe of giants? Leader Ding said that his tribe has been inherited from a super large tribe, with a long tribal heritage, their population is more than ants, they can't count, they can't eat enough food, and all kinds of tools can help their tribe make more and better things.
According to the memory passed down to him by the Doctor Witch, his Red Bull tribe was also a powerful tribe in the past! But the current situation is estimated to be not even the size of the previous little finger. I don't know if I can see it.
Seeing that his child and the leader of the tribe were still talking about the feelings of this exchange meeting, the rhinoceros took back his thoughts, interrupted the black bull's speech, looked at the black bull and said:
"Child, I agree with your suggestion, join the Ding tribe, and fully assist the Ding leader to develop and grow the tribe. Don't let your tribesmen live that life without food and clothing, as a leader, you have a responsibility to make your tribesmen live a good life! What's more, Leader Ding is still the legendary Aragami, and he is here to save our people. ”
In another place, the two leaders of the Qiu tribe and the Gurung tribe, who are separated from the Li tribe, are walking together on the way back. With the people who are moving forward paying attention to the movements around them, the two of them can communicate and exchange with peace of mind, and on the way back, there have been no less than five such exchanges, and they are talking about everything about the Ding tribe.
"Gu Da, to be honest, I really have the idea of joining the Ding tribe now. Everything in the Ding tribe is as far away as the sky for us, but the Ding leader selflessly shared it with us and saved our lives, which makes me respect the Ding leader very much in my heart, I think this is what the Aragami looks like, he is the god sent by God to help us live a good life! ”
Shang looked in reverence, and yearned for the life of the Ding tribe more and more. He slowed down and continued:
"I have decided, when I return to the tribe, I will explain to the Doctor Witch that all of us will join the Ding tribe, so that our people can live a good life, instead of being careful of the beasts and those big tribes as before. No more
As before, he has become a dispensable and casual weaker in the eyes of the big tribe! ”
Shang looked at Gu Da and clenched his fists, as if he wanted to gain strength from it, giving himself confidence, and at the same time hoping that Gu Da would accept his ideas.
Gu Da didn't talk much, and he usually listened to it by himself and rarely expressed his opinions, but today he changed his past style and said a few more words.
"Well, I agree with you. The Ding tribe is truly an amazing tribe, they have all kinds of tools that we can't imagine, they can also domesticate animals, and they can catch a lot of fish with one tool. That's not all, the place where they live is called a house, and the inside of the house is very warm on a snowy day, and sometimes it is so hot that they sweat. The animal skins we wore were much warmer and more beautiful than what we were wearing. There's too much food to eat, and there's no need for such good weapons. ”
Gu Da stopped, looked at Shang and said:
"My thoughts now are the same as yours, and I want to join the Ding tribe. I am the leader of a tribe, and we cannot be called a good leader if we can not make my people live a life of food and clothing. And I don't want to be the target of random bullying by those big tribes, whose faces I have long seen clearly. They don't share the good things of their tribe with other tribes, and if other tribes have good things, they go to get their tribe back in the morning. ”
Gu Da looked at the situation of the team before and after and smiled:
"Shang, don't forget, our two tribes have their own specialties. As long as we join the Ding tribe, there are things we can do. Your tribe can make bamboo bows, we can collect honey, this is all skills, I think Leader Ding will definitely need us. ”
Shang was also very happy when he heard that Gu Da had the same idea, and he reached into the animal skin clothes and scratched it, and laughed:
"Good! We want to go together, then let's say okay, let's join the Ding tribe together! ”
None of this, Ding Qi didn't know. He was riding on Xiao Erhei's back, thinking about how to make the tribe develop rapidly. But thinking about it, he believes that the key to the development of the tribe lies in the population, and without a large population base, the tribe cannot develop rapidly. Even the big tribe of more than 300 people mentioned by the leader of the Blue Tiger will face the danger of annihilation at any time in the primordial period full of dangers.
Walking on thin ice!
A few days later, Ding Qi arrived at the copper and stone mine with a huge procession.
In order to facilitate management and production, White Fang took advantage of the melting of the snow to move the settlement to the vicinity of the mines after Tincchi returned to the tribe with the first batch of bronzes and copper plates. Except for the fact that it is slightly inconvenient to use water, everything else is very convenient. The place where the charcoal was burned remained the same, and the wood was always cut down to burn charcoal.
In the new settlements, they brought in wood, built watchtowers, and used smelted copper plates as warnings. Before, Ding Qi brought so many people over, and the people on the watchtower called the police as soon as possible, informing the mine personnel to get ready, until they found out that it was the leader who came, and then lifted the alarm.
Except for a rebellion of young slaves under the strict management of the fox before, the slaves under the management of White Fang have adapted very well to this kind of mine life. Although the work is a bit boring and simple, they don't have to face danger, and they are very happy to be well fed and clothed.
Ding Qi asked the rat people to help the people of the Blue Bird tribe set up camp, and he took the white fang, the rat, and the fox to walk around the mine to learn about the situation in the mine. White Fang pointed to the ash kiln and said:
"Chief, this ash kiln has been used for a long time, and due to long-term barbecue, cracks have been exposed in some places, so we will arrange for someone to plug the cracks and continue to use them. At the same time, I dug an ash kiln over there, this ash kiln is different from the ash kiln you dug before, using the style of the ash kiln you dug for the first time in our tribe, most of the kiln body is above the ground, and you don't have to worry about the ice and snow melt water forming water under the kiln. ”
White Fang pointed
Where there are cracks in similar kilns, it is obvious that there are traces of blocking. Then he pointed to a kiln standing on the ground not far away, and gave Ding Qi an introduction.
"Because there are two ash kilns smelting copper, the pressure on the charcoal burning there is greater, so eight people were transferred there, which can basically meet the ore smelting of the two ash kilns."
Ding Qi looked at the second ash kiln and inspected the structure of the kiln body, and said to White Fang:
"Well done! This is how things should be done, we must think more, we are not afraid of problems, and we must face difficulties, so that we can have better development! Rat, if you want to stay here for a while in the future, then you have to take care of this mine, and White Fang's approach is your example! ”
Ding Qi patted the kiln body, pounding, did not hear the hollow sound of cracks in the kiln body, turned his head to the fox and said:
"Fox, you are also an old man here, tell me, what are the problems that still exist in the mine?"
Seeing that he was asked, the fox hurriedly bowed and replied:
"Looking back, now the mine has dug a lot of places on both sides on the original basis, but the ore dug out does not feel as good as the previous ore, and the copper does not seem to be as high as before. So, I think it might be much better to keep mining down the stone. However, the tools we have at the moment are not enough to allow us to dig up more ore, and this is a problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. ”
Ding Qi bowed his head, praised the fox for their ability to think about problems and solve problems on their own, and motioned for him to continue.
He glanced at White Fang, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said:
"Actually, there is a small problem, that is, it is not very convenient to get water at present, and you can't use it as casually as before, everyone hasn't taken a bath like in the Ding tribe for a long time, and it's itchy all over the body."
As soon as the fox finished speaking, it seemed that he was reflexive, and he actually began to scratch his body with White Fang, and Ding Qi and Rat couldn't help but laugh.
Rat was a little nervous, but he would have to stay here for a long time to replace White Fang, and it would be particularly uncomfortable if he couldn't bathe like he did in the tribe. Suddenly, I felt as if I was itching now.
Ding Qi smiled:
"Actually, the two problems you mentioned are actually one problem, that is, the problem of how to get water easily. As long as water can be found or easily obtained, then the problem you just mentioned about mining ore is solved. ”
Ding Qi looked around, and on the left was the residential area, which was full of people at the moment, and he was busy and busy. In the middle of the front is the location of the ash kiln, and a few dozen meters in front is the ore mining area, where large and small stones are piled up in the same place, messy. On the right-hand side, a large amount of charcoal and smelted copper plates are piled up, neatly arranged.
Although the mine is located in a desolate area, there are still many plants growing around, and in some places they are still very vigorous. Tinch went to a bush, felt the dirt on the ground, and then took the shovel and began to dig down.
The three of them looked a little puzzled, and they didn't know what the leader was doing. After digging down a meter deep, Ding Qi held a handful of soil again, felt the wetness of the soil, and then handed the shovel to the fox and told him to continue digging downward.
The four of them took turns, and in less than an hour, they dug a pit two meters long and wide, and six meters deep. At the bottom of the pit, the soil is so wet that you can squeeze out the water with a hard grip on your hands. Seeing this scene, the three White Fang were still a little confused.
Ding Qi took advantage of the rest to point to the pit in front of him and told the three of them:
"See, if you dig down here, you can dig up water. And the method I am teaching you to do now is to dig a 'well', what is a well, this is a well, the well can be used to store water, draw water, and you will be able to get water conveniently in the future! ”
