Chapter 158: Tiredness

The men quickly ate up the food allocated to them, still staring at the soldiers who were eating.

"Look at what, stay honest!" A soldier glared at them and yelled.

On the weak side, they naturally didn't dare to refute anything, so they could only swallow their saliva and watch the forest fire eat up their food.

After the repair, Lin Huo asked these people to lead the way in front of them, looking for other tribes, stopping and stopping along the way, and the next day they finally found a small tribe, this small tribe only looked like seven or eight people, because this tribe did not agree to join, the furious Lin Huo sent people to beat them all to the ground, tied them all up with ropes, and said that they were tied to the back of the deer cart like livestock.

The first tribe to join looked at the miserable appearance of these people, and secretly congratulated themselves that it was really wise for them to surrender immediately, although they couldn't eat enough every day, but at least they were treated much better than these people, and there were people who were worse than themselves as a foil, and their hearts were far from being a little dissatisfied and balanced a lot.

In this way, Lin Huo began to sweep the grassland with many soldiers like wolves and tigers, and when he met those who knew the times, he became the same party as the first batch of people, and those who met resistance were beaten first, and then tied up.

With the help of these leading parties, the progress of the arrest became quite smooth, and at this pace, a month was enough to get a lot of manpower.

Lin Huo's side is busy arresting people, and the brick kiln on the tribe's side has been built, and the first bricks are ready to be fired.

The brick kiln is very large, and after Wang Lang walked in and read it, he felt that this brick kiln could produce at least 1,000 bricks at a time.

Put the made brick embryo and regular yard into the brick kiln, Wang Lang began to let people light the bricks, after a long period of exposure to the wood has become very dry, it didn't take long for the raging fire to burn, the chimney more than two meters high next to the kiln roof is emitting green smoke, making it look as if a small industrial base has been formed.

In order to heat up quickly, Wang Lang had people take turns pulling the huge bellows that he had made not long ago, which were made of wood and animal skins, and because there was no lubricating oil, they had to be replaced by animal fat.

The pull of the bellows made the flames burn more fiercely, and the rolling heat wave rushed into the face, and soon people were sweating profusely.

"Chief, how long will this thing burn!" The man pulling the bellows asked breathlessly.

"It will take about three or four days, and we will work hard for the next few days, and we will be able to rest after burning enough bricks to build the wall." Wang Lang said lightly.

In fact, Wang Lang is not very sure how long it will take to get out of the kiln, but he has experience in firing pottery, so he can only roughly estimate the time when it will come out of the kiln.

In order to burn the bricks of this kiln, everyone in the tribe mobilized and took turns to change shifts so that the flames would not be extinguished.

Whether you can burn bricks depends on this time, the effect of this firing is not bad, Wang Lang plans to build several brick kilns, the number of a brick kiln is limited after all, although the rebuilt wall is only two layers of bricks outside the earthen wall, but the number of needs is also very huge, only this one brick kiln is completely insufficient.

The brick-burning work was left with only the last physical work, leaving a few people to continue burning bricks, and the rest of the people I have seen carry a flat pole together to water the corn field outside, since the last time it was estimated that there would be a drought, the sky is still scorching in the sky these days, there is no sign of rain, and the water level in the river has dropped a little.

Watering is a very hard job, watering two meters of ground at the end of the day is already the fastest speed, at the end of the day, everyone's tired arms are a little unable to lift.

At night, people lay on the ground humming and kneading their sore arms, cursing the hot weather.

Although Wang Lang was also very tired, as the leader of this primitive tribe, he naturally did not enjoy the blessings, dragged his tired body, came to the fence where the horned dragons were raised, carefully checked their physical condition, and found that there was no mental malaise, Wang Lang was relieved.

Since the nineteen-headed ceratosaurus hatched, there was no new hatching, and the remaining four had been completely determined to be dead eggs, and after those eggs were replaced, they emitted a strong stench, and although embryos had been formed in two of them, they were all dead.

Naturally, these rotten eggs cannot be used as food for people to eat, but can only be fed to those young wolf cubs.

Since the fire in the brick kiln cannot be extinguished, people who are tired from a day's work at night take turns to take care of the brick kiln.

For the next few days, the high chimneys continued to smoke, and the brick-burners were sweating hot, but the weather showed no signs of coolness.

The work of watering the ground was carried out every day, and it took more than three days to complete the watering of the ground.

If it doesn't rain all the time, the work of watering the ground has to be done every few days, so that everyone has almost no time to rest.

At noon on the fourth day, the brick kiln had been burned for four days, and Wang Lang felt that it was almost enough, so he stopped adding wood.

Although the combustion has stopped, the temperature of the brick kiln is now very high, and it must be cooled for a long time before the cave can be opened.

On the evening of this day, Kong Er, who had been away for nearly half a month, returned to the tribe with his people.

After dinner, Wang Lang asked about Kong Er's situation on the road.

"Did you take him back?" Wang Lang asked.

Kong Er nodded and said, "Send it back, we rode the deer and walked for about seven or eight days, walked to the periphery of their tribe, and watched him go back." ”

Riding a deer for seven or eight days, Wang Lang estimated that it would take at least eleven or twelve days to walk, it seems that the last attack of the Fire Tribe was an expedition of labor, and so many people were lost, this time it is estimated that it can be calm for a long time.

"What is the size of their tribe?" Wang Lang asked.

"There were a lot of people, they also grew food, and many slaves worked in the fields, but they didn't build walls, but I saw many tent-like houses, large and small." Kong Er recalled.

"Can you see what the things in them look like?" Wang Lang asked.

Kong Er shook his head and replied, "I didn't see it clearly, I was worried that they would find out, so I didn't dare to get too close." Kong Er said.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "You did a good job, have a good rest tonight, you came back just in time, you are busy this time." ”

Kong Er looked at Wang Lang with some confusion and asked, "Chief, what is that big mound of earth outside the tribe?" ”

The bark on the side didn't wait for Wang Lang to speak, and said with a sigh: "That's a brick kiln, I've tired us these days, you're relaxed, you have to do more this time." ”

"Brick kiln? What is it for. Kong Er said with a blank face.

"Are you stupid, of course the brick kiln burns bricks, bricks know no, they are cube-shaped pottery, used to build walls." Bark explained as he understood.
