Chapter 166: The Lake
The women were divided up, and then Wang Lang began to deal with the affairs of these men.
"These four men will be the rulers of you, and most of you will be under their rule, and remember them as they were." Wang Lang pointed to the four of them and said.
The four of them straightened their waists when they saw Wang Lang mention that they didn't have it, and Kong Er deliberately made a lot louder when he translated.
The bound people secretly prayed not to fall into the hands of the forest fire, which can be said to be fearful of the forest fire like a tiger along the way, and the scars on their bodies have not yet grown, always reminding them of the suffering along the way.
"The four of you went over and picked forty men each." Wang Lang said to the four of them.
The four of them smiled, and they all went over to choose, and the long and strong ones were all taken out by several people, and they all hoped that the stronger their subordinates were, the better.
After a few of them finished selecting people, Wang Lang picked out ten old men and twenty women from the remaining people, and the rest of them were going to be sent to the other side of the river to replenish the writing manpower there.
The division went very smoothly, and the group of people was allocated human resources in less than half a day.
With this group of people, the population of Wang Lang has reached more than 300 people, and the population of Linhe side has reached more than 100 people.
With these people, it will be much easier to do whatever you do in the future.
In the afternoon, Wang Lang asked Kong Er to take them to Linhe Village, where the embankment was being built, and with the addition of these people, the construction should be completed soon.
Wang Lang explained to Kong Er, the problem of women, according to the method here, one person, not more, and asked Kong Er to warn them that he would send someone over to check when he found time.
After one day's trimming, the people get used to the new environment, and the next day, the group of people is put to work.
These people are very reluctant to work, but under the temptation of Wang Lang's two meals a day, it can be said that the enthusiasm for work suddenly soared, and they rushed to get the opportunity to work.
But since the tribe did not have so many tools, there were ordinary people among them, who could only sit idle and receive a share of one meal a day.
In order to solve this problem, Wang Lang asked these people to take turns to work, which also calmed down a lot of complaints.
The construction of the embankment and the burning of bricks were the first tasks, and they had to be completed in a short time, and the rest of the men with the tools followed Wang Lang to cut down the trees and build a large raft that could hold dozens of people, and he planned to explore the mysterious lake.
The construction of the raft progressed rapidly, and it was completed in two days, and the huge and heavy raft was dragged to the edge of the lake, where it was pushed into the water.
"With such a sturdy raft, even if you encounter a Titan Python this time, you won't be able to overturn it!" Wang Lang thought secretly.
"Chief, this lake looks so scary!" Kong Yi stood by the lake, looked at the wide lake, and said with some fear.
"What are you afraid of, with this raft that can't fall, there are definitely a lot of fish in this lake, even if it's dangerous, we have to give it a try, otherwise we'll have to go hungry after a while." Wang Lang said lightly.
Kong Yi knew that what Wang Lang said was right, and he also looked at the remaining grain of the tribe, and understood that if he didn't get more food, he would have nothing to eat, so he frowned and looked at the lake in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I can only take a risk." ”
Wang Lang nodded and said, "Okay, the raft has been launched, bring the net, let's see how many things are in this lake today." ”
Kong Yi answered, and asked the big net to be lifted onto the raft, and then seven or eight people jumped on the raft, and the people who stayed on the shore rowed towards the center of the lake under the watchful eyes of those who stayed on the shore.
The lake is bottomless, and none of the people on the raft dare to stand on the side of the raft, and most of them feel dizzy when they look down, and if they fall, it will be a disaster for them who can't swim.
As the oars sliding, the surface of the calm lake rippled with layers of energy, and the birds on the water were also startled by the sudden intrusion of the behemoth.
Paddle slowly towards the center of the lake, and occasionally you can see schools of fish swimming under the surface.
"Chief, there are so many fish in this water, just the school of fish just now, if we catch it in one net, it will be enough for us to eat for several days." Kong Yi said with some excitement.
"It seems that we have come to the right place this time, and when we get to the center of the lake, we will cast our nets, and we will definitely gain a lot today." Wang Lang also smiled.
Although the two or three newcomers didn't know what the two leaders were talking about, they could still see the fish under the surface, and they thought that these fish would be their own food in the future, and their paddle speed increased a lot.
The huge raft was very stable, and when they reached the center of the lake, the nets were lowered, and the stones hanging from the edges of the nets pulled the nets and sank into the water.
In order to allow the fish to gather faster, Wang Lang had the bait sprinkled, that is, leftovers mixed with feces, and waited for a while, and people already felt that the fish had hit the net.
"Chief, can you pull it up?" Kong Yi said with some excitement.
"Wait, it's not the time yet."
Although Wang Lang was also very nervous, after all, this was also the first time he had used a raft to fish, and fishing in such a large lake was completely different from fishing in a river, and he didn't have much confidence.
After another twenty minutes, the shaking of the fishing net became more and more violent, and Wang Lang knew that it was almost over, so he called for someone to start collecting the net.
Everyone worked hard to pull up the net, and as the net rose little by little, they could already see the fish in the net struggling.
"Good fellow, there are so many fish." Kong Yi said dumbfounded.
"Don't pull up, paddle and drag these fish to shore." Wang Langfen commanded.
When the crowd heard this, they tied the net rope to the raft and dragged the fish towards the shore.
On the other side of the lake, where the deep forest was, a huge figure came out of the forest, quietly burrowed into the water, and disappeared.
The fish dragging the big net and the paddlers were tired and sweaty, but in the end they pulled today's harvest back to shore.
When the people on the shore saw the fish fluttering in the water, they all became excited, took the rope of the net, and dragged the net to the shore with all their might.
In the lake, out of sight, a huge figure swam here, and after seeing the prey on land, it immediately dived to the bottom of the water, and the excited crowd was unaware of the danger around them.
