【137】The Wall of the Forest (1)

The four sides of the cage were fixed with wood, and a certain narrow gap was maintained between each wood to prevent the gray gulls from escaping from it.

"Wu, are you planning to raise this bird?" asked Xiong Sickle.

"Well, don't you think it's a good mount for carrying people? If we can domesticate this big bird, then we won't have to go out through the forest anymore. Shen Nong nodded in response.

"Wu, this bird is not easy to domesticate. "I've seen people from other tribes trying to catch this bird as a war beast in their tribe, but then they all failed. ”

"It's okay, just give it a try, maybe I'll make it in the end." Shen Nong said indifferently.

The gray gull was covered with black rattan ropes, lying motionless in the wooden cage, after all, it was a punch from a second-level warrior alive, presumably it had to wait for a while before it could wake up from its coma, and during this time, Shen Nong didn't need to pay attention to it, just lock it up here.

Xiong and the sickle, who helped Shen Nong finish their work, soon went back to continue digging, and now is the most critical time for the Huangqiu tribe, the insect tide mentioned in Luo Man's mouth may come at any time, and what the people of the Huangqiu tribe have to do is to try to build all three walls before the insect tide arrives, so that when the insect tide really comes, the Huangqiu tribe can more or less have an artificial barrier to resist.

Now that the ravine on the north side of the meadow has been dug thoroughly, with the help of two oversized pulleys, the soil is not a problem, and the efficiency of the entire excavation project has increased several times faster.

Instead of waiting for all the ravines on all three sides to be dug up and then planting trees, it is better to mobilize now and set up the wall on the north side of the tribe.

The experience of digging a ravine was enough for all the Huangqiu people to know how to dig a ravine, so Shen Nong called the four people in Shangcang and ten people who looked relatively strong, and planned to go to the forest to carry the big trees that had been sawed down by the Huangqiu people a few days ago.

Cang knows how huge the size of those big trees is, logically speaking, just with the ten ordinary clansmen selected by Shen Nong, even if they cooperate in carrying them, they will not be able to move any of the sawn down tree trunks at all, you must know that Shen Nong's original audit standards for tree trunks must be more than twenty steps long, which means that those trees are at least ten meters high, which can be regarded as quite huge.

In Cang's impression, no matter how you say this kind of thing, you have to call the chief Xiong Yao and the first-level warrior Chi to come over, otherwise just these ordinary clansmen will not play a role at all.

But he never thought that Shen Nong was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control, and the others couldn't help but be confused, not knowing what Shen Nong wanted to do at all.

This time, Shen Nong asked each of the ten clansmen who were selected by himself to carry a bone shovel and a stone hoe on the road with him, which couldn't help but make Cangxin even more puzzled, didn't he go to carry trees?

However, Shen Nong didn't mean to explain to others, but mysteriously left the Huangqiu tribe with a group of clansmen.

In order to ensure that the big trees could be easily and quickly transported back to the tribe after being sawn, Shen Nong did not choose to look for trees in a distant place, but looked for them in this area near the Huangqiu tribe.

As soon as they walked out of the meadow for less than 300 steps, Shen Nong and his party saw a broken tree leaning against other trees, which was the masterpiece of the Huangqiu tribe.

"Ready, let's get this tree back to the tribe now. Shen Nong said with his hands in his hands.

"Yes!" The ten Huangqiu clansmen instantly discarded the bone shovel and stone hoe in their hands and walked directly towards the tree.

"Come back, what are you going to do?" Shen Nong couldn't help frowning.

"Wu, didn't you tell us to transport this tree back to the tribe?" someone asked, looking back.

"Do you think you can move it with just ten of you?" Shen Nong said speechlessly: "Come here and pick up the tools, your task this time is not to move trees, but to dig a flat road from here to our tribe." ”

Shen Nong pointed to the direction in which everyone came.

"Digging a road, what about this tree?" everyone looked puzzled, didn't they say they were going to move the tree before?

"You dig first, and you'll know when the time comes. Shen Nong said mysteriously.

Everyone had no choice but to honestly pick up their tools and start digging up the soil according to Shen Nong's desired position.

The land in the forest, the soil in some places is soft, and the soil in some places is extremely hard, which makes it extremely difficult to dig a smooth road in it, but fortunately, Shen Nong had the foresight to let the people who went out in advance bring a stone hoe This kind of plowing tool is not too smooth.

As a farming tool that has been passed down for thousands of years, the hoe naturally has its own strength, and even in modern society, farmers still use this tool to loosen the soil.

With the help of the stone hoe, everyone spent most of the day, and a 100-meter straight road to the Huangqiu tribe was finally dug, only to see that the road was three meters wide and sunken fifty centimeters, and there was an obvious drop value from the edge of the road.

It is worth mentioning that the pavement of this road is unusually flat, all of which Shen Nong asked the clansmen to use a bone shovel to pat it flat, and some places that are difficult to pat flat, you have to take stones to smash and step on with your feet, in short, you must ensure that the road surface is flat and there are no obvious protrusions.

"Wu, it's all done, what should I do next?" a sweaty Huangqiu clan man ran up to Shen Nong and asked.

It is indeed a very hard thing to spend physical strength doing hard work in such a hot weather, Shen Nong smelled the smell of sweat on the other party's body and couldn't help but cover his nose and said: "It's hard, but your task is not over, now you quickly send a few people back to the tribe to get a few silver-crowned dragon kingfish's backbone cartilage, and then go to cut down trees for me, don't cut too thick, just have your three arms thick." ”

"Okay. In the face of Wu's order, the other party had no reluctance at all, and directly turned around and ran away.

Shen Nong couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, this is the benefit of having the identity of a witch, if Shen Nong is just an ordinary clansman, then how can these Huangqiu clansmen obey his orders unconditionally like now.

As the so-called officials crush people to death, this principle is also effective in primitive times.
