【014】There is no shortage of water
The production of the scoop is still very simple, only need to hollow out a piece of wood from the middle, and then bend and polish the surface to be able to hold the water steadily.
As the two best bone craftsmen in the Huangqiu tribe, Cang and Guanjia, together with the assistance of Beibang and Pan, quickly made eight wooden scoops from the wooden blocks stored in the tribe. A five-meter-long wooden stick is installed at the handle of each scoop, which allows the water collector to draw water from a long distance and avoid the prying eyes of the Shirasawi water monster.
At Shen Nong's deliberate request, the warehouse and armor also came with eight wooden barrels, which were convenient for holding the water from the wooden scoop when the time came.
The bear, the sickle, and the pecking bone each held a wooden scoop in their hands, and they were still very curious about this new thing, and they kept turning over and over again in their hands, all thinking about whether this tool was useful or not.
Since Cang and Xuan Jia belonged to the relationship of tribal craftsmen, they didn't need to fetch water, so Xiong Yao found five ordinary clansmen as an exception, and each of them issued a wooden scoop, planning to take them to Bai Ze to get water.
Because Shen Nong and the others have been busy, first washing the water and paving the cistern, and then starting to make wooden scoops, this strange behavior has long attracted a lot of people who are still in the tribe to watch, seeing that Xiong Yao and others are finally planning to set off to fetch water again, many clansmen can't help but want to go to Bai Ze with them to see the ability of this scoop with their own eyes.
But Xiong Yao immediately shouted to stop the group of people: "Don't make trouble, no one can say whether we will encounter dangerous beasts on the way to Bai Ze, the more people there are, the more difficult it will be to protect them, so stay in the tribe." ”
These people had no choice but to give up when Xiong Sickle said this, burying all their curiosity in their hearts, and watching Shen Nong and the others leave.
......
I have to say that Shen Nong and the others were lucky, they didn't encounter any beast attacks along the way, and they arrived at Bai Ze easily, at this time, two or three moments have passed since Shen Nong last came here, Bai Ze has already calmed down, the breeze on the lake is rippling, and it is shimmering in the sunlight.
If you don't think about the terrifying water monsters at the bottom of the lake, Bai Ze is still very beautiful, the gray-white lake water makes it add a unique charm, and it looks like a heavenly pond from a distance, which makes people yearn for it.
"Wu, how should this tool be used?" asked Bone curiously.
"It's simple, you put the scoop in the water and lift it up again. Shen Nong hugged a wooden bucket and said to Chi Chi: "You try it first, scoop up the water from Bai Ze and pour it into my bucket." ”
"Okay!" The young man had already had a huge interest in the wooden scoop in his heart, and he couldn't wait to press the wooden scoop under the surface of the lake from afar, and when he lifted it again, there was already a full scoop of water in the scoop.
"It's really water!" Rao is a first-class soldier, and Chi can't help but laugh excitedly at this moment.
For a long time, the Huangqiu tribe has been troubled by the problem of water shortage, difficult to obtain water, and low water storage, which has led to the Huangqiu tribe having to send water collectors to Baize every day to get water.
Every time you get water, the selected ones face great risk, because they have to carry the water bladder with their arms deep into the white ze, no one knows what will happen in the process, you may successfully fill a water bladder and return to the tribe safely. It is also possible to be swallowed by a water monster that suddenly jumps out from under the surface of the lake, and there is not even a slag left.
For the sake of their people's drinking water, these fearless water collectors are burdened with unpredictable dangers of life and death, just like playing Russian roulette with the Grim Reaper, the bullet in the chamber of the gun may shoot at any time, taking a cheap life.
But even such sacrifices could not meet the daily supply needs of the entire tribe.
But now, the tool called 'scoop' provided by Shen Nong has completely solved the problem of the Huangqiu tribe, it can allow the water collectors to get water away from the dangerous area on the shore for remote water extraction, the safety factor is greatly improved, and it can be concluded that the casualty rate when taking water in the future will be greatly reduced, and the water collectors of the Huangqiu tribe no longer have to lose their lives because of taking water.
Xiong Yao looked at the water in his scoop from Bai Zezhong with an incredulous expression, he never dared to imagine that one day it would become so easy to get water, just press the scoop and lift it, and the water will come by itself.
"Chief, pour water over me. A clansman said as he stood five meters away with a wooden barrel in his arms.
Xiong Sickle nodded, and poured all the water in his scoop into the barrel five meters away.
With the first spoonful, there was naturally a second spoonful, and after the group tasted the freshness, they immediately started to dry it in full swing, and it didn't take long for all eight wooden barrels to be filled with water.
Shen Nong hugged a wooden barrel and shouted a little uncontrollably: "Hurry up, hurry up, whoever comes to help me take this wooden barrel, I can't hold it anymore." ”
When he heard this, he directly dropped the wooden scoop in his hand, and immediately ran over to take the wooden bucket in his hand for Shen Nong.
Not to mention, this wooden bucket is at least more than sixty catties after being filled with water, and Shen Nong's body that has not been specially exercised cannot hold such a heavy bucket for a long time.
The burden in his arms was taken away by Chi, Shen Nong immediately felt a lot more relaxed, he bent down to pick up the wooden scoop that was thrown away by Chi, and planned to return to the tribe on his shoulder.
Now that the eight buckets are full, there is no point for Shen Yun and the group to stay by Bai Ze any longer, so it is important to hurry back and pour all this water into the reservoir.
......
When the tribesmen of the Huangqiu tribe saw the full eight buckets of water brought back by Shen Nong and the others, they were all so surprised that they couldn't speak, when had they seen so much water, this amount was enough for the entire tribe to use for four or five days.
"It's really water! a lot of water, and the people who went out to fetch water before have never brought back so much water in one go. ”
"How the hell did this happen? Wasn't the water monster in Bai Zeli alarmed?"
"It must be the tool made by Wu Rangcang and Xuan Armor that has worked! Wu is so powerful!"
In the midst of the clansmen's discussions, Chi and the others successively walked into the hole in the wall where the cistern was dug with wooden barrels, and poured all the water in the buckets into the cistern.
Seeing this scene, Xiong Yao said angrily: "Let's go to Baize a few more times, and strive to fill this pit today, so that our tribe will not have to go to Baize to get water for at least ten days." ”
"Yes!" the others immediately replied excitedly.
