Chapter Ninety-Six: Making a House for the Savages

Yuan Yijia said: "It should take another hour." Let's go back to the tent and discuss. ”

Everyone walked into the tents. Yuan Yijia said: "The savage who communicated with you just now is wearing the skin of a black bear, let's call him a black bear." I guess the black bear is a literate man in the savage village, otherwise why would that giant send him to communicate with you? Since he can understand what you mean, then you should draw a picture of everything we want to ask. ”

Ouyang Yi said quickly: "Okay." ”

Yuan Yijia wanted to ask, where did you get the skins you were wearing? Are there lions, tigers, black bears, and other animals here? Do you have salt here?

What else is there in the long river besides water?

What do you eat besides pork, beef, and other animal meats? Do you have rice? Do you have vegetables?

Where did you get the trees for your house? Are there mountains near the river? Does it rain a lot here? When it rains heavily, does the water in the river overflow the riverbank?

Ouyang quickly drew more than a dozen white cloths one after another, and the pictures on each white cloth represented a meaning. It took more than three hours to finish.

Yuan Yijia was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Hurry, thank you very much." I'll give you a credit!" At this moment, Duan Ba and the others arrived, and daily necessities such as salt, grain, vegetables, and pots were all delivered.

Yuan Yijia asked Ouyang Yi to give these paintings to the wild man quickly, and at the same time ordered everyone to bury the pot and cook quickly.

Ouyang Yi quickly took the painting to the middle ground between the savage village and their campsite where he had just communicated with the savage black bear, and raised those white cloths with both hands and waved them at the savages.

By this time, the giant and the black bear were gone, and only a few wild men were still standing there guarding.

Seeing that Ouyang was coming again, a few savages walked towards the thatched hut. After half an hour, the wild black bear came out, and he walked straight towards Ouyang Yikuai. Ouyang Yi quickly gave him more than a dozen white cloths with pictures.

An hour later, Yuan Yijia and the others finished the meal, except for what more than 20 of them ate, and brought it all out to the front of the savage village, and sent a hundred bowls and a hundred pairs of chopsticks. The black bear brought the food and chopsticks with a few wild men.

The black bear ate a bowl of rice first, probably never before, and he ate a second bowl, and when the other savages saw this, they rushed to dig up the rice. One bucket of rice and two buckets of vegetables were quickly eaten. Yuan Yijia ordered everyone to continue cooking and stir-frying.

The next few days were like this, and slowly the wild people automatically came to the side of the tent, watched Yuan Yijia and them cook, and pointed out to communicate with them. The Savage Black Bear took Ouyang Yikuai and Yuan Yijia to the Savage Village to meet their giant leader. They communicated through drawings and got to know each other, and finally the giant leader believed Yuan Yijia.

It turns out that this savage village is home to more than a thousand people, whose ancestors lived here very early.

Two thousand miles west from this village, there is a large forest inhabited by lions, tigers, and other animals, who ride horses to the forest every two months to pick wild fruits, hunt, cut trees, and firewood. Come back with a horse.

They grazed cattle and sheep on this side of the river, and also kept a small number of horses and dogs, which were used as means of transportation and dogs to watch the family. The river never rises, even when it rains heavily.

Fire is their sacred relic, and flint was found by their ancestors from the forest over there, and they treasure it to be able to make fire. Because the place where they live is the grassland by the long river, there is only soil and grass, not even stones. Their stone bowls were found in that forest.

But they have not yet found any metal, and the tools used to cut the meat are made of sharp stones. I don't know how to grow vegetables because there are no seeds for vegetables.

Yuan Yijia decided that except for himself and Ouyang Yikuai, the other team members rode cranes to the bush village to transport grain, vegetables and production tools. By the evening of the next day, many farm tools had been transported by the team members on cranes.

Together with the savages, we reclaimed the grassland and turned it into a field garden.

The fields are used to grow wheat and rice, the fields are used to grow peanuts, sweet potatoes and sesame seeds, and the gardens are used to grow various vegetables. The land here is level, which is better than the shrub village, and Yuan Yijia named it Changhe Village.

Yuan Yijia decided to build some big houses for the Savage Village in Changhe Village, so they and more than 500 Savages led the horses to the big forest.

Two days later, they came to the Great Forest. Many of the mountains in this forest are very high, and the mountains are undulating.

Yuan Yijia and the others took out saws, axes, knives and other wood cutting tools and cut down a large number of wood. To the surprise of the team, the Savage Giant was so powerful that he could kick down a twenty-meter-tall tree with his feet.

Ouyang Yi quickly taught the wild man how to use a saw, an axe, and a machete, and then the black bear went to teach the giant and other wild people. This way, the tree can be cut down much faster.

After three days, they cut down more than 2,000 trees, large and small, and the wild people picked a lot of wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and there was a spring in the mountain, and the water was sweet and delicious.

After the felling is completed, the timber is transported to the Savage Village with the horses they have brought.

These horses are all thousands of horses, and they are very powerful, and eight hundred thousand horses can transport more than 2,000 large and small trees from the big forest two thousand miles away to the savage village in three days.

Because to build more than 100 houses, you need a lot of raw materials, such as the tarpaulin used to build a house. In addition, more than a thousand wild people had to be clothed and had to carry clothes over. Therefore, Duan Ba, the transportation commissioner, has a heavier task, in addition to flying to the shrub village to transport raw materials, sometimes he has to fly to my town to transport raw materials.

In addition to building a house, you also have to grow crops. When it doesn't rain, you have to go to the long river to fetch water. Because Changhe Village is not like a shrub village, there is a small river in the shrub village, and the water can easily flow to the fields to irrigate the crops. In Changhe Village, the water in the Changhe River is low, and the terrain of the fields is high. Water cannot flow from low to high.

In this way, after eight months of work, Yuan Yijia and the wild people were tired enough, and finally finished building more than 100 houses. The paddy in the paddy fields has also been harvested, and there is no need to go to the shrub village to transport grain. The wild people were very happy that their ancestors had never seen and eaten these snow-white rice, and they had never seen and eaten green vegetables.

It takes too much effort to carry water into the long river to irrigate the fields and gardens. Later, the immeasurable Taoist remembered that he had seen a farmer treading a waterwheel in Xishan Town, which could lead water from the river to the field. Yuan Yijia was very happy and immediately asked Duan Ba and the Infinite Dao people to go to Xishan Town to buy it.

Half a month later, the immeasurable Dao people used cranes to transport five waterwheels. Everyone set up a waterwheel by the river, and the water in the river was pumped up.
