The morning light is faint, and the morning breeze brings warmth

The dew drops hanging on the branches and the tips of the grass blades, before they saw the faces of the sun, quickly evaporated and disappeared under the warm breeze in the forest. The weather in summer is too hot.

Although the sky had just dawned, Su Ming and the others had already gotten up, packing their tents, and preparing to continue their journey.

After finding no useful traces that afternoon, Yu Fei decided to lead the team back to the tribe.

They set out in the morning, stopped to rest when the sun was shining, and continued their journey in the afternoon when the sun was low.

It's not that they don't want to hurry at noon, but they are now out of the woods, in a flat area with a great view, there are no plants to shade, and in the sun, the warriors are prone to illness and heat stroke.

Along the way, the team kept going and stopping, until now, Su Ming and they had been walking like this for three days, but now they were still in that wilderness, and they had not reached the tribal station that Yu Fei said.

"Yu Fei, Yu Fei, you see that this area is so flat and open, and the land is also very fertile, but why didn't you arrange for people to cultivate and plant? ”

After entering this plain, Su Ming found that the land in this area was very fertile, which was very suitable for cultivation, but now it was barren.

After walking for two days in a row, he finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart, whipped his double-horned horse, quickly caught up with Yu Fei's team in front, came to Yu Fei's side, walked side by side, and then raised the question in his heart.

"Oh, you said this area, don't look at this area now, it's a fertile land, and there are only a few weeds growing on it, as long as you take care of it a little, you can grow food.

That's because it's not the right time of year, just wait a month, and when the rainy season comes, the area will be completely flooded by the river.

At that time, all the plants will be soaked in water, and the grass will survive. So, you see, in this area, most of the grass grows.

So, it's not suitable for habitation, it's not suitable for planting, and the grass here grows very luxuriantly, but these grasses, domesticated beasts don't eat much, and they don't grow meat at all.

So, the land was abandoned. ”

Looking at the vast land in front of him, Yu Fei also felt very pity.

Originally, the tribe was short of fertile land, and was trying to increase the amount of food produced, otherwise there would not have been so many warriors to hunt falcons because of some fish ponds.

And if there is really a way to make good use of this place, then the tribe will not be in the embarrassing situation of lack of food from now on.

After hearing Su Ming's question, he thought of this, and naturally, his mood also became a little low.

"It's a shame that such a good land can't be used.

Hey, no, Yufei. You said that this place would be flooded by the river during the rainy season, but on the way here, we only saw a small river, and the width of the river was not narrow, and there should be a place where there should be a stone's throw away, so the amount of water that can pass through it should be enough.

So how did it flood this plain?" Su Ming picked up Yu Fei's words and continued to raise the question in his heart.

"Hehe, no hurry, no hurry. Go a little further ahead, and even if I don't say it, you'll know why I'm saying that. Yu Fei looked into the distance, and then said to Su Ming with a mysterious face, obviously he was very confident in this.

"Well, let's go a little bit and see what it is, and I can tell the reason by looking at it. Su Ming got the explanation he wanted, and although there was still a mystery to be solved in a while, he was also satisfied.

After the team had traveled some distance forward, Su Ming and the others finally saw the lush green again, right on a mound in the distance, which stretched out of sight.

Finally, they were going to leave the wilderness.

And at this time, Su Ming also saw the answer, the answer that the plain would be flooded.

At the end of the plain, there were two huge cliffs, as if they had been split vertically from the middle by a big knife, and a relatively small crack in the middle went straight to the bottom of the water, and the stone walls on both sides were straight and smooth.

And in the gap between them, you can faintly see a glimmer of sunlight, which is the reflection of the waves, and there is a river.

Su Ming directly accelerated, came directly to the mound, sat on the two-horned horse, and what caught his eye was an endless blue as far as the eye could see, and under the sunlight, there were countless waves that shone like diamonds.

Turning to the left, there was a hill, overgrown with lush trees, at the foot of the hill, along the direction of the river, if this could be called a river, a narrow beach.

On the shore, according to the height of the terrain, there are two rows of countless small puddles, and the small puddles lead along the shore to the distance, and finally disappear at the bend of a river bank.

Su Ming guessed that those puddles should be fish ponds as Yu Fei said.

And when he looked behind him, he could see that the plain was the lowest, as if someone had dug a big hole in the earth.

And all around him are hills, stretching for an unknown distance, and when it rains, the surrounding precipitation will eventually collect here.

However, this big pit has only a small gap, which is the small gap, which can be used for the passage of water and finally into the big river.

It is conceivable that during the rainy season, lightning and thunder roared in the sky, and heavy rain poured down, following the course of the hills, and finally merged into this plain, first into the huge riverbed of the plain, and merged into a huge torrent, rushing forward towards the great river.

But when it was about to merge into the river, it was blocked by the mountain peak, and the only way to pass through that small gap was too slow.

The torrent accumulates more and more, eventually filling a huge river channel and spreading to the plain, which cannot flow outward due to the obstruction of the hills around the plain, so it can only stay on the plain, waiting for the only exit.

In the end, the entire plain was submerged, turning the originally empty plain into an incomparably huge lake.

"Now you know the reason, it's not that we don't want to develop this plain, but that the conditions don't allow it now. I don't know when, Yu Fei has already come to Su Ming's side, looking at the big river in the distance, the river is constantly washing the embankment, and the waves are constantly stirred up by the rocks on the shore.

"I remember during the rainy season, one year when it rained for one more day, the water of this plain overflowed directly over the hills. ”

When Su Ming heard this, his face couldn't help but be moved, although this hill was the shortest one around, it was almost three or four meters high from the plain at that time.

One more day of rain in the rainy season can make the water in the plain rise so high, and then Su Ming has a very clear understanding of the rainy season in this area.

"You didn't think of digging that gap so that you could increase the flow of water, and if the gap was big enough, it would not be long enough to make it longer than the riverbed. ”

"It's a simple thing, but it takes a lot of time to do. Before the tribal wars, the food produced in this area was enough to meet the needs of the tribesmen. In fact, it was only in the past few years, as other tribes continued to integrate in, that our food began to become scarce. ”

After Yu Fei heard Su Ming's suggestion, he was also a little emotional, who knew that there would be a annexation war between tribes.

When there are no longer so many people in the territory of one tribe, they will directly divide the branch tribe and let them migrate to other places to continue to live, how simple and convenient.

But now, the situation is completely different, and the small tribes that have just separated either actively integrate into other tribes on the way to migration, or are attacked and captured as slaves.

Therefore, when your own territory can't support so many people, you can't divide the clan, and the only way out is to start a foreign war and occupy the territory of other tribes, so as to feed the people of your own tribe.

And in order to be able to win against other tribes, it is necessary to have enough strength.

That is, they need to have more warriors, and these warriors can be from the subordinate tribes or from the slave tribes, which prompts them to seize more territories, so that they can feed more subordinate tribes, more slave tribes, and be stronger.

As a result, all the tribes are caught in a strange circle, and constant wars arise, whether you want to or not, you will participate passively or actively.

In this way, those relatively weak tribes, in such a circular circle, gradually disappeared, and were replaced by extremely huge super tribes.

"You see, that misty place is the core of our fish tribe. Yu Fei suddenly pointed to a position in the distance and said to Su Ming excitedly.
