Chapter 709: Sealing the Gods (7)
——Gods——
South Zhanbu Zhou, Tu Mountain.
After the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven by dragon, his son Ji Feng succeeded to the throne, and then Zhuan Xu, Shaohao, Gao Xin, Yao, and Shun, known as the "Five Emperors".
Due to the peace in the four directions, the situation of women unable to raise young children or encountering disasters and demons and dying was greatly reduced, and the population growth of the tribes accelerated, and they began to take the initiative to explore and settle in the great wilderness.
Therefore, even if many small tribes are from the same family, they also differentiate themselves into different surnames, such as the Ji lineage, which refers to things and things as their surnames, and divides them into Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Bao, Ren, Xun, Xi, Yao, Yi, Yi, etc.
At this time, there is a person with the surname of Ji's in-law "Him", named Yu, who is the sixth grandson of Zhuan, young and fun, often riding a horse and driving around the wilderness.
His father's name is 鲧 (gun), sealed in Chongdi, called "Chongbo", is in the order of Emperor Shun to control the water, no time to discipline Yu, but because Yu only likes to travel around, has not destroyed the ancestral property or put himself in danger, so Kun let him go, but never noticed that Yu drove the wandering route, through his many places to control the water
"Daddy, what kind of water is this......" Yu rode his chestnut horse, standing halfway up the mountain and looking at a "high wall" that was almost at eye level with him.
According to his father's plan, they were supposed to be half-human-high walls on both sides of the river to stop the overflow of the raging water, but because the river itself would accumulate sediment and constantly raise the bottom of the river, Kun had to follow the embankment and raise the embankment repeatedly, and finally formed this "above-ground river" spectacle.
Although this scene is terrifying to see, the people who live and cultivate farmland on both sides of the "high wall" seem to be completely inappropriate, and when asked, they will say, "This is Nuwa Niangniang's magic weapon, which can be replenished even in the sky, and you are afraid of this small river?" ”
At this time, Yu wanted to roar: "Niangniang doesn't use [Xiyang] to make up for the sky!" But he can't, because he can't explain this without revealing his identity, and if the other party knows that he is the son of Kun, he will only answer the previous question, "Yes, yes, what you said is right, can I go?" ”
He had seen how his father had "repaired the embankment", holding a box of dirt in his hand, and constantly retreating on the embankment, dumping the inexhaustible clumps of mud, while several builders followed by him would tamp it with hammers, shovels and other tools, as long as there were no obvious gaps, the embankment would be completed, and no matter how big the wave impact, it would not shake in the slightest - this is Nuwa Niangniang's magic weapon, resting soil.
The problem now is that more and more rivers have been treated in this way, and every rainy season Kun has to "increase" all the dikes in this way, and the time taken to increase the height is fixed, and eventually, Kun stopped continuing to restrain the rivers with soil, because he was busy from one rainy season to another, and he would be able to raise all the dikes again, and if he continued to increase the workload, he was afraid that some of the "high walls" would burst.
In Yu's view, the most obvious thing is that his father originally came in to comfort his mother when he passed by the house, reprimanded or praised himself, and in recent years, he has not even entered the house - because he delayed for a while, the embankment may have collapsed somewhere.
Yu secretly swore that he would never become such an adult in the future.
"Radish, you say, since the sediment at the bottom of the river has been piled up so high, how about we dig the embankment from below and clean up the accumulated sediment from below?" Yu rode around the two high walls and said to his mount.
"Boom-boom-quack-" The chestnut-haired horse, who was called Turnip, heard his name and barked happily a few times.
"You have a point, if that happens, there is a danger of being buried and the river washing out of the hole we dug." Yu nodded and said.
"Huh?" The radish didn't respond, and pulled a handful of grass from the side of the road and began to chew.
"That's right, I still need to discuss with my father, in order to prevent him from putting up a fight, I have to bring my mother, and I will drive to follow him next time he passes by the house." Yu continued to talk to himself.
————
As a vast mountain range, Tushan is the birthplace of several unknown rivers, so Yu's planned "river cruise" needs to go around the entire mountain range in a half circle.
After an initial inspection, he found that all the rivers were in the same condition - the mountain stream was normal, and once it flowed out of the mountains and into a habitable place, there would be a dam on both sides of the river, and if you continued along the river, you would see tribes or families living near the river.
Yu said to himself with understanding: "I see, my father has tried his best to set up a 'flood discharge area' in an uninhabited place, but because the development of various tribes is too fast, there are fewer and fewer similar areas, the plan cannot keep up with the changes at all, and the houses and fields of those settlers cannot be allowed to be flooded, so there are those towering 'above-ground rivers', so the solution is ......"
"Boom-" A small cry rang out.
"It's hard to hear, don't make this sound." Yu raised his hand and patted the radish on the head.
"Huh?" Radish looked up innocently, still chewing a radish in her mouth.
The cry of "...... is ethereal, it does not come from the mouth of a radish, but in the quiet mountain forest.
"Is it a monster...... Yu took down the wooden bow and arrow he made from his back with his backhand, although the tribe has iron arrows and iron tire bows, but he didn't bring it this time: "It's okay if it's a lost person, but if you wait for a monster to rush out, you have to run with your life, and if you can't run away, I'll give it to eat it." ”
"Huh?"
After the Lich War, the Wu clan disappeared, and the monsters were almost extinct in Nanzhan Buzhou, but the "monster eating people" thing was still used by many mothers with children to scare the baby, and Yu was unfortunate that it was such a baby.
Under Yu's nervous gaze, a girl who looked about his age ran out of the forest while covering her eyes with the back of her hand and crying.
Petite, wearing an earthy cotton skirt and a pair of bare feet, although she couldn't see her face clearly, the pair of fluffy golden ears on the top of her head and the two tails dragging behind her were enough to prove her identity: "Boo-Tu Shan Orange is not a monster-"
"Turnip, run—get moving!" "Boom!"
Because the chestnut horse stood in a daze for some reason, Yu was directly hit by a demon girl who didn't see the way, and was very unlucky to be crushed under her.
"It's so painful......" When Yu came back to his senses, he saw a pear blossom with rain, and he was looking at his pretty face blankly: "That...... Girl? ”
"Yikes! It's the Terrans-" The girl stepped on Yu's stomach and jumped up and ran: "It's terrible-"
"Woohoo! Anyway, it's me who should run......" Yu got up holding his stomach and watched the girl with two tails running in the direction of the Terran gathering place: "And you ran backwards......"
