【081】Egg pool
"By the way, what about the white-whiskered ape I asked you to raise for me last time?" Looking at the peck that was still standing beside him, Shen Nong suddenly thought that there was such a stubble, and then asked.
"When sleeping, cubs like this newly born are particularly sleepy, and in addition to eating and sleeping during the day, it is still relatively easy to raise. Bone pecking replied.
"You'll have to feed it for me, it's a hybrid beast, if it can grow up smoothly, it can bring a lot of help to our tribe in the future. Shen Nong said solemnly.
"You can rest assured Wu, I'm good at raising this kind of cub. Bone pecking swore and patted his chest and said.
"That's good. Shen Nong nodded with satisfaction: "This time I went out with Chi and got a few eggs of a hybrid beast, you now take a few clansmen to the reservoir and dig another pool for me, I want to use it to raise eggs." ”
"Another Mixed Blood Beast?"'s face couldn't help but be stunned.
Usually, the clansmen of the Huangqiu tribe may not be able to encounter a mixed-blood fierce beast for many days, but since Shen Nong became a quasi-warrior, he has always gone out from time to time, which has brought back the offspring of the two mixed-blood fierce beasts.
"Don't be in a daze, hurry up and get to work. Shen Nong urged.
In just a few days, the three devil frog eggs have been in the animal skin bag of the worm, and gradually there are signs of shrinking, and Shen Nong will water the three frog eggs from time to time in order to prevent the frog eggs from shrinking excessively and causing the embryos inside to die, so as to keep them moist and prevent excessive atrophy due to lack of water.
But this is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, because frog eggs need a lot of water and need to be soaked in water.
Hearing Shen Nong's urging, Peck Bone immediately went to find three clansmen, and together they ran to the vicinity of the reservoir with hoes and shovels to dig a soil pit six steps long and four steps wide.
I have to say that primitive people are energetic, digging pits and irrigating water and other behaviors in one go, and even give up the rest time after digging the pits, and directly make a pool for Shen Nong in the shortest possible time.
Because the water sources in the Huangqiu tribe all come from Bai Ze, the water quality in this pool is unusually pale and turbid, which is not as good as the lake that Shen Nong found on the road before.
As far as Shen Nong knows, many tribes have no water source near their place of residence, so they either have to wait for water to rain, or trade with other tribes, or squeeze out the water hidden in tree trunks, branches, berries, and vegetables, and live on this.
A tribe like the Huangqiu tribe, which can see the water source by walking a thousand steps straight out, even if it is possible to sacrifice a few clansmen every time they get water, it is also the envy of others.
Not to mention that the Huangqiu tribe is now under the leadership of Shen Nong, the big guy has dug a ditch, and Bai Ze has a direct line from the Huangqiu tribe to the river, so that the clansmen in the tribe can use water without scruples and unscrupulously.
Among the ten conferences that Shen Nong was going to go out to attend this time, there were four or five tribes that were very short of water, and every time they traded, the Huangqiu tribe could exchange a small amount of water for unequal food and medicinal materials from their hands.
Looking at the pool of white water in front of him, Shen Nong couldn't help but think in his heart: "The water here can at least be exchanged for food for three people." ”
Thinking about it, Shen Nong didn't feel a little distressed, and directly poured three devil frog eggs from the animal skin bag into the pool.
I saw three frog eggs floating in the white pool, drifting with the current, and soon sank to the bottom of the pool.
"I hope you have a successful birth. Shen Nong said as he stood by the pool.
Asked the bone peck to explain the matter of this frog pond to the other clansmen, reminding them not to touch the frog eggs in the pond, and not to throw things into it or even scoop the water in the pond for use, Shen Nong returned to the cave where he lived.
Unlike other people who needed to live in a wooden house, the cave where Shen Nong lived was not affected by the fire, so he didn't need to move out of the cave to live in a wooden house.
After all, it's a witch, although Shen Nong doesn't care about it, but he must always keep a trace of distance from the clansmen, so that there will be a sense of mystery and the clansmen will be in awe of you.
Otherwise, anyone can see you and talk to you anytime and anywhere, then this witch is too ordinary.
Before Shen Nong came to this world, his predecessor usually stayed in the cave all day long, and only the chief bear sickle and the peck bones that delivered food could see the witch, and if the other clansmen did not have important things, the chance of seeing the witch was very small.
It is also because Shen Nong often goes out in these days, and often mingles with the clansmen, that they can see Shen Nong himself.
After entering the cave, Shen Nong sat directly on the haystack where he slept, and the haystack was covered with a layer of soft animal skin, which could increase Shen Nong's comfort when he was lying down.
"Now that the tribesmen are learning how to make wooden houses, I believe that it will not be long before a large number of wooden houses will appear on the grass, and then people will be able to build wooden stakes around the vicinity and form a fence to prevent some wild beasts or people from other tribes from breaking in. Shen Nong said.
"However, in terms of hardness, the hardness of stone walls or cement walls is far greater than that of wooden walls, if the Huangqiu tribe can have a stone wall or cement wall as protection, then everyone can sit back and relax on weekdays, after all, even if the hybrid beast comes, if the size is a little smaller, it will be difficult to break the defense of these two walls. ”
"However, in this location where the Huangqiu tribe is located, stone resources are very scarce, and it must be extremely difficult to build a stone wall, not to mention the limestone mine used to make cement, I have never seen this kind of stone mine in the Huangqiu tribe for so long. ”
"And even if the limestone mine is found, with the current level of the Huangqiu tribe, there is no high temperature that can be used to burn materials. ”
Shen Nong scratched his head, and after talking to himself, he still lay down helplessly and sighed: "Alas, let's build a few wooden walls honestly and make do with it first." ”
As a person who does not belong to this era, Shen Nong's sense of vigilance is still very high, and since he came to the Huangqiu tribe, he has always felt that the open environment around him is really unpleasant to look at.
Although the tribe is now peaceful and free of disaster, is it possible that one day an enemy will suddenly rush out of the forest?
At that time, the people of the Huangqiu tribe, who have no obstacles to hide, will be reduced to the same existence as a target, and the end will be as miserable as possible.
Therefore, in order to take precautions and prevent it from happening, seeing that even wooden houses in the tribe have begun to be built, Shen Nong thought about adding this wall to the steps of the tribe's construction plan by the way.
"After everyone has built their cabins, I'll have to talk to them about it. Shen Nong put his arms behind his head and looked at the top of the cave and said.
