【013】Reservoir

When Chi and the other three tribesmen returned to the Huangqiu tribe with the carcass of the anaconda carcass, Cang and the others had already done what Shen Nong had requested, and all the stone barrels that had been placed in the cave were moved out, and instead of a square deep pit, you can see that the inner wall of the pit is covered with various bone fragments and stone chips, and the pit is extremely dense, and there is no soil to be seen.

"Wu, how about this?" Cang, Xuan Jia and the others asked while standing in front of Shen Nong with some expectation.

"Yes, it was perfect. Shen Nong did not hesitate to give his appreciation, and at the same time did not forget to let the cockroach completely peel off the skin of the anaconda.

Soil is absorbent, no matter how much water you pour into the soil, it can absorb everything for you, so Shen Nong planned to use waterproof materials to pave this reservoir to prevent the water that the tribesmen had worked so hard to get from Bai Ze from being waded away by the soil layer next to the pit after pouring it into the reservoir.

The movement of the beeper was very neat, and I saw him holding a sharpened bone knife to pierce through the wound on the anaconda's body, and forcefully slashed it between the skin and the flesh, and after a while, the entire skin of the anaconda was peeled off, and it did not hurt a bit.

This beaper skin is more than 20 square meters wide after it is fully unfolded, about the same thickness as a carpet, and there are a lot of meat pieces and grease of anaconda sticking to it, which needs to be manually cleaned before it can be spread into the reservoir for use.

This kind of thing is naturally not the turn of a first-level warrior like Chi to do it, who does what to do, and let capable people do some small things that ordinary people can easily do, which is undoubtedly a waste of human resources.

"If any of you take this anaconda skin to wash it, remember to wash everything that sticks to it, and you can't let go of any tiny corner. Shen Nong said.

"Wash?" "Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, obviously can't understand what Shen Nong means, in their opinion, water is a very valuable resource, it's too late to save a little drink, where will they be willing to take water to wash what water python skin, for them, the dirt on the python skin is either scraped off with a knife, or directly ignored, cleaning or whatever's completely indifferent okay.

"Wu, if this skin is to be washed, it will cost a lot of water, and our tribe doesn't have much water stored in the first place, so let's forget it. Xiong Kao couldn't help but say.

"What are you afraid of, isn't it just water?" Shen Nong said arrogantly: "Use as much as you have left, and leave the matter of taking water to me in the future to ensure that the amount of water in the tribe is enough." ”

Because Shen Nong had mentioned to Xiong Yao the idea of digging a new river by Bai Ze before, seeing Shen Nong swearing so much at this moment, Xiong Yao thought that the reason why he was so confident was because he wanted the people in the tribe to go to Bai Ze Lake to dig the river, so he said loudly: "Wu, digging the river is not something that can be completed in a day or two, before this, our tribe can only rely on water bladders to get water, if you really want to wash this water skin, I'm afraid it will take several water bladders......

Without waiting for Xiong Yao to finish speaking, Shen Nong directly punched the other party's chest and said with a smile: "Why are you thinking about it so much? I am the witch of the Huangqiu tribe, can I still harm everyone? Listen to me, go and wash this skin." ”

Since Shen Nong had reached this level, Xiong Yao had no choice but to lift the anaconda skin and walk aside, throw all the water bladders he retrieved this time on the ground, and call a few clansmen who were standing nearby to watch the excitement to come and wash the anachon skin.

The reason why Shen Nong is so determined to clean this anaconda skin is not because he has obsessive-compulsive disorder or cleanliness or anything, but because if the residual meat and oil on the anaconda skin are not cleaned up and directly spread into the reservoir, it will easily attract insects such as ants, and if this skin is gnawed away, everyone will not even have time to regret it.

Moreover, if the meat is soaked in water for a long time, it will not take long for it to become moldy and rotten, and the water quality in the reservoir will be lightly affected.

So it is not unreasonable for Shen Nong to be so rigorous, unconsciously, he has already regarded himself as a member of the Huangqiu tribe, and everything takes the Huangqiu tribe as the first priority.

It didn't take long for the cleaned skin of the anaconda to be spread into the cistern by those clansmen, and the wide anaconda skin was attached to every corner of the deep pit, wrapping the pool tightly, and there was no possibility of seeping water outward.

"Done. Looking at the finished reservoir, Shen Nong smiled with satisfaction.

And everyone was also curious to look around the reservoir, and they all sighed how they hadn't thought of this method of increasing water storage before.

In fact, the method provided by Shen Nong was not very advanced, but because of the limited thinking of everyone, he didn't come up with it.

After washing the skin of the water anacond, there was only one bag of water left for Xiong Yao to bring back the people this time, which was obviously not enough for all the people of the Huangqiu tribe to drink daily, so Xiong Yao had to take someone to Bai Ze to get water again.

"Looking at the depth of this pit, if the water is full, it can last our entire tribe for at least ten days at a time. scratched his head: "It's just that we can't get back so much water, every time the water team goes out to get back, the water can only fill eight stone buckets, and no more people carrying water bladders are enough." ”

"This is not the hardest part, we should be more worried about how to get water safely by Bai Ze. Chi interjected and said: "If the water collector stays by Bai Ze for too long, it will attract the attention of those water monsters at the bottom of Bai Ze Lake, like the death of those four clansmen today, I am not the first time I have seen it, if the water monsters are in the water and keep an eye on us staying on the shore, no one can avoid the kind of culling that suddenly rushes out of the water." ”

Because of the gray color of the water in Shirasawa Lake, people standing on the shore can't see the situation below the lake at all, so once a water monster approaches, basically no one can react.

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Shen Nong couldn't help but ask strangely, "Do you know the scoop?"

"What's that?" everyone looked at Shen Nong with puzzled expressions, they had never heard of this thing.

"A tool for scooping water, most of the scoops are made of gourd splitting and drying shells, but I don't think the geographical environment where our tribe is located is like a gourd, so let's do it, Cang and Armor, I will describe the shape of the scoop to you, and you two will give me a dozen copies of this scoop, and when the time comes, connect a wooden stick a few meters long to the handle of the scoop, and our people can take water a few steps away from the shore of Bai Ze. Shen Nong said.
