【009】Departure from Shirasawa

"Chi, can you hunt this beech alone?" Shen Nong asked as he turned his head to Chi.

"It will be a bit of a hassle, but not difficult. Chi hesitated for a moment and said with some hesitation. He has not been a first-class warrior for a long time, and usually only follows Team No. 1 to hunt some large beasts and other prey in the forest, and has never come into contact with the water monster in Bai Zeli, although the snake is not a fierce beast, but the animals that live in the water are usually more difficult to hunt than on land, because the hunters are not only facing prey, but also water.

"If you can handle it, you can handle it. Shen Nong clapped his hands: "Then I will release the task to you now, if this thing can be done today, then the water storage in our tribe will be greatly increased, and it may only be necessary to go to Bai Ze to get water once in the next ten days, instead of once every two days like now." ”

"Really?" Everyone present couldn't help but get excited after hearing what Shen Nong said, the current water storage of the Huangqiu tribe can only meet the needs of the entire tribe for two days, once the water storage in these seven or eight stone barrels is used up, the people in the tribe must go to Bai Ze to get water again, and the cycle repeats.

However, things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, every time the Huangqiu tribe sends someone to Bai Ze to get water, it means that they have to face a huge and invisible danger, and the team taking water must not only guard against foraging beasts or even fierce beasts that may appear in the forest at all times, but also beware of whether it will attract those water monsters in the lake when taking water, in case someone is accidentally dragged into Bai Ze by the water monster, the end is only a dead end, because the water is the territory of the water monster, even the first and second level warriors can not challenge the water monster in the water.

The Huangqiu tribe has lost at least hundreds of clansmen because of the problem of taking water for so many years, including even four first-level warriors and one second-level warrior, if Shen Nong can really increase the water storage, it means that the frequency of water intake of the Huangqiu tribe will decrease, and once the frequency of water intake decreases, the number of dead people will naturally be much less.

"Of course it's true, you've all listened. Shen Nong pointed to the stone barrels and said, " If you don't know how high the peck is, you can call him over and let him jump down to see, so that you can facilitate your measurements, remember that the edge of the pit and the inner wall must be flat, and after digging you will stick the bone fragments and stone chips on the inner wall of the pit, you must stick them all over the inner wall of the pit, and you must stick them all over the inner wall of the pit, and you can't see a little dirt from the outside, and you can't even fall into the corners, and I will check it when I come back. ”

Shen Nong continued to say to the best craftsmen of the four Huangqiu tribes: "Everyone work hard today, be sure to make the pit firm, and if we can open a ditch between this pit and Bai Ze in the future to bring the water of Bai Ze over, then our tribe can get a well with water forever." ”

"Well?" Although everyone didn't know what a well was, hearing the words 'there will always be water' was enough to make them excited, because everyone knew that Wu would never deceive people, and what he said was the truest truth in the world.

Without waiting for Shen Nong's urging, the four of them immediately began to act, and they all lifted a stone bucket and walked outside.

Seeing that they were busy, Shen Nong patted Chi on the shoulder and said, "It's time for us to act, don't waste time, let's go, go to Bai Ze's side now." ”

"But Wu, didn't the chief let you sit in the tribe......" Chi said hesitantly.

"What is there to sit on, what can happen in broad daylight, let's go, hurry. Shen Nong couldn't wait to see that so-called Bai Ze.

Chi had no choice but to lead Shen Nong out of the tribe and walk in the direction of Bai Ze.

————

Bai Ze and the Huangqiu tribe are only a thousand steps away, because the Huangqiu tribe often sends people to fetch water and tramples on it for many years, the soil on the ground of this road is solid and stiff, and even a small grass does not grow, and it has been faintly walked out of the road shape.

"Do you take this road every time you go to fetch water?" Shen Nong asked.

"Yes, walking from here is the closest way to Bai Ze. ”

This dirt road is about a meter wide, and although the terrain will be undulating in some sections, and the road is uneven, fortunately, there are no boulders hidden under the dirt and tree roots protruding from the ground to block the road, which makes Shen Nong can't help but have another idea in his mind.

That's it – a cart!

The water collectors sent out by the Huangqiu tribe carry a few water bladders out to fill the water every time, and then carry a few water bladders back, although the water bladder is light, but it will become heavy after loading the water, and it is precisely because of this that the water collectors of the Huangqiu tribe can bring back not much water each time.

According to Shen Nong's memory, an ordinary clansman can bring back about 4-5 water bladders every time he goes out, and more is very reluctant, while a first-level warrior can carry more than 10 water bladders, although the number is more than that of ordinary clansmen, but after all, the number of first-level warriors is small, and there are only three first-level warriors in the entire Huangqiu tribe, and it is impossible for them to help get water every time, so that the No. 1 hunting team and the No. 3 exploration team will be short of manpower.

In general, ordinary people are the real main force when it comes to taking water, and their water intake also limits the amount of water that the Huangqiu tribe can store.

But now, if a cart can appear, even ordinary clansmen can bring back more water bladders comparable to first-class warriors, or even more than first-level warriors, which is of great help to the entire Huangqiu tribe, and in addition to being used to transport water, the cart can also be used to carry large beasts hunted outside by the No. 1 hunting team on a daily basis, or to transport the wounded who were injured in the hunt, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

"It seems that after I bring the leash back this time, I will have to talk to the four craftsmen to see if there is any possibility that the tool of the plate car can be made in this era. Shen Nong said secretly in his heart.

Just as Shen Nong was thinking, the forest path under his feet finally came to an end, and the originally dimly lit forest suddenly opened up, and a cloudless blue sky appeared in Shen Nong's eyes.

Without the branches of huge trees covering the sky and the sun, and without the view of tall shrubs blocking it, a new picture scroll suddenly unfolded in front of Shen Nong's eyes.

I saw that the vast and boundless Bai Ze was located between the mountains, and the majestic and winding mountains in the distance were still wrapped in white smoke at the waist, and many herbivorous beasts were lying on the edge of the lake and bowed their heads to drink, and after drinking, there would be a fight and frolic, just like a vibrant natural beauty.

"Is this Bai Ze? It's not an exaggeration to call the sea. Shen Nong couldn't help but be stunned, this is also too far from what he imagined, originally Shen Nong thought that Bai Ze was a small lake, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes, but he found that the other party was so vast that he couldn't even see the margin.

Because his predecessor was a noble witch in the tribe, it was not his turn to take water at all, so he did not have any pictures related to Bai Ze in his memory, which would make Shen Nong misunderstand.
