Chapter 173: Changing Heavens
The periphery of the tribe is surrounded by wooden stakes erected one by one to encircle a rectangle, and this expansion is several times larger than the previous scope, and if it is completely built to accommodate these two or three hundred people, there will be no problem at all.
The old wall, Wang Lang did not plan to demolish it, this place can be used as an inner city in the future, if the outer city is breached, there is still a barrier that can be used to defend.
The embankment has been fully completed, and the thousand-meter-long trapezoidal embankment will protect farmland from flooding.
These idle workers were arranged by Wang Lang to irrigate the farmland, and more than a dozen acres of corn will be harvested soon, and the full ears of grain indicate that this season will usher in a bumper harvest.
Although it is not intensive, the yield has increased a lot through watering and fertilization.
Although the scarecrows in the fields can scare away some of the birds, some of the brave ones will still fly down and steal the crops that people have worked so hard to grow, and every day there will be seven or eight special people who are responsible for driving away these pesky guys.
The smoke from the four brick kilns, the brick-burning workers kept adding dry firewood to them, and the boiling heat made it seem like a furnace, which made the brick-burning support the hardest work in the tribe.
The weather on the steppe was unpredictable, and in the morning the sky was cloudless, but after noon, thick clouds rolled in from the east, and the breeze blew the golden grain, setting off a wave.
"Lang, it's going to rain!" Lin Huo said as he looked at the thickening clouds.
"It's going to rain, and it's definitely not a good sign that it hasn't rained for so long this rainy season!" Wang Lang said with some concern.
"Are you worried about flooding?" Lin Huo asked.
Wang Lang nodded and said, "I hope there won't be a flood!" ”
Lin Huo said with a smile: "Even if there is a flood, we are not afraid, we have already completed the construction of the embankment, and we have also sent people over to tell us that the embankment over there has also been completed, we don't need to worry!" ”
"I hope so!" Wang Lang looked at the sky, a little as if he was talking to himself.
Lin Huo didn't pay attention to the change in the weather, turned his head to look at Wang Lang and said, "Do you really plan to guard the spirits of those dead clansmen?" ”
"Yes, that's what I have to do." Wang Lang said lightly.
"If you don't eat or drink for two days, what about the tribe?" Lin Huo asked.
"It's okay, there's nothing big about the tribe now, and it won't affect me if I keep the spirit for two days?" Wang Lang said with a smile.
Lin Huo sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"You see this wall will be built in a short time, and when these walls are built, military training will resume, these people are good soldiers!" Wang Lang pointed to the busy crowd below and said.
Lin Huo looked at these people and said with some emotion: "There used to be more than a dozen people in our tribe, but I didn't expect that there are so many people now, time flies so fast!" I don't know what happened to the place where we used to live in the north, the old patriarch died there! ”
"Want to go back and see?" Wang Lang said.
Lin Huo shook his head and said, "How can we go back now, how difficult it is for us to pass through that swamp, it is impossible to go back." ”
"It's not impossible." Wang Lang said lightly.
Lin Huo was stunned when he heard this, he knew that with the current ability of the tribe, returning there would require a lot of resources, and it would be a completely meaningless thing, looking at Wang Lang and asking suspiciously, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Remember the tin mine we found?" Wang Lang said.
Lin Huo nodded, and said casually, "Do you want to mine that tin ore?" ”
Wang Lang said: "That's right, copper with tin is much better than pure copper, although the tin we brought back before has been made into tools, but with the increase of manpower, the tools are far from enough." ”
"But that place is too far from here!" Lin Huo also understood this truth, but he felt that just to find tin ore, it would not work at all to mobilize the people to go so far.
"I also know it's too far away, and we can't do anything right now, but after a while the waterfront tribe has stabilized, and then see if there is any other way to get around the swamp, I think we should go to the west when we have a chance." Wang Lang looked at the barren grassland in the west and said.
"Do you think the new route might be to the west?" Lin Huo asked in some surprise.
Wang Lang nodded and said, "I have this guess, the tribe that forced us out of the forest, whether it is clothing or weapons, has a lot of similarities with the Fire Tribe, I suspect that there must be some kind of connection between the two." ”
Lin Huo frowned and didn't think about it, and said, "It seems that there are some similarities, could it be that they entered the forest last time to capture slaves?" ”
"I also think it's possible, if it's really their team to capture slaves, then they definitely have a shortcut into the northern forest." Wang Lang guessed.
"In that case, if we want to find this way, we must enter the territory of the Fire Tribe, and we are not a little too risky in our current situation." Lin Huo asked.
"Not now, at least until we have enough food for two rainy seasons, by which time our people are almost trained, and it's time to see what our enemies are." Wang Lang's eyes looked at the west with a little coldness.
"Boom!"
At this time, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the thick lightning pierced the gloomy sky, and the electric light shone on Wang Lang's face, making him look a little hideous.
Lin Huo couldn't help but shudder, following Wang Lang for so long, he knew that Wang Lang was a person who had revenge, as long as he was targeted, whether it was a man or a beast, as long as he angered Wang Lang, there would be no good end in the end, and the giant python last time was the best example.
Looking at the snake head hanging high, Lin Huo couldn't help but think, how many more heads will there be here at that time?
After the lightning, the bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell, and the raindrops hit the fence and scattered in all directions.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and people who were busy outside hurried to the pergola to escape the rain.
Wang Lang and the others also stepped off the high platform, standing under the pergola with everyone, looking at the already white world.
"The weather on this dog day, no matter how you say it, if it weren't for the brick kiln to build a shed, the bricks of these four kilns would have burned in vain." The bark wiped the rain from his face, and his mouth kept cursing the thief.
Wang Lang ignored the bark's complaint and asked, "The brick kiln has not been affected!" ”
Bark said with a smile: "No, the shed is very strong, not a drop of rain has leaked, the fire will not be extinguished, and the sun-dried wood has been put down under the shed, and there will be no problems with these four kiln bricks." ”
Wang Lang nodded, didn't say anything, looked at the pouring rain, and his face showed a thick look of worry.
