[244] The one who seeks water

In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed, and the area of the southern forest near the southern wall had been sawed by the eel slaves with bone saws, and the ground was full of tree stumps as far as the eye could see, like pimples on human faces.

Cang also learned from Shen Nong's original example, using a stone spear to divide a wide area on the earth, which was used to dig ravines, put tree trunks, and encircle walls.

And today, the Huangqiu tribe has ushered in a great news, that is, Bai Ze's water level has finally risen to normal again, and it can begin to pour into the ditch.

Looking at the ditch that had been dry for a long time and was now full of water again, every Huangqiu tribesman was very excited, because it meant that they would no longer have to go to the earth well to fetch water, and they could enjoy the convenient water source directly in their own tribe.

But looking at the Huangqiu people who couldn't wait to go to the ditch to fetch water, Shen Nong directly stopped them with a loud shout.

Everyone looked back at Shen Nong in confusion, and asked very puzzledly, "Wu, what's wrong?"

Shen Nong's face was solemn, but he saw with his own eyes that Luo Man used the air urn to smash all the leucopods that were growing in Bai Ze, and the crushing of the white coccal bodies meant that the parasitic spores growing in their bodies would be scattered, and then mixed into the lake water of Bai Ze.

What does this mean?

This means that there are likely to be a large number of parasitic spores hidden in the water that flows into the ditch from Shirasawa now, and it is the kind of terrifying shape that can grow a large number of purple tentacles once it enters the human body, and then wrap the human body like purple cabbage.

This is a great crisis that is very likely to be wiped out if you are not careful!

"Don't go near the ditch, Worm, go and bring the long scoop we used to scoop water on the side of Bai Ze, and the barrel and the skin gloves. Shen Nong said with a serious face.

"Yes. He didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly ran into the big cave, and then ran out with a bunch of things after a while.

I saw that the most obvious thing he was holding in his hand was an extremely long and extremely long wooden scoop handle, which was the earliest water tool that Shen Nong designed for the Huangqiu tribe.

The wooden scoop handle is five meters long, which is composed of multiple pieces of wood spliced and tied together, and can be stretched out to a place five meters away to scoop water, which can be regarded as a black technology in this era.

When the worm ran to his side, Shen Nong directly took the animal skin gloves from his hand and put them on, then took the wooden scoop handle and the wooden barrel and said, "You go and move the pot and stove out immediately, heat the pot first, I can use it." ”

"Oh. Chi nodded, and went to do what Shen Nong had explained.

I saw Shen Nong put the wooden barrel on the edge of the ditch, and then took a long scoop into the ditch and scooped up a scoop of water.

After scooping more than a dozen scoops in a row, the wooden barrel was finally filled to a nine-tenths level, Shen Nong stopped his movements when he saw this, threw the wooden scoop handle to the ground, walked over and lifted the wooden barrel with the palm of the animal skin gloves, and then walked towards the stone stove that had begun to burn.

Because nothing is placed in the bone pot, it will be sizzling after being heated by the fire, to be honest, Shen Nong has long felt that this bone pot is a bit of a problem, because it stands to reason that the bones cannot withstand the burning of the fire, even if they will not turn into ashes in the end, they will definitely not be able to escape the changes of softness, deformation and blackening, but this bone pot of the Huangqiu tribe has been used for so long, but Shen Nong has never seen it appear in any deformation, and it is still intact.

I have to say that this is indeed a very strange thing.

However, Shen Nong didn't have time to think about it at the moment, he waved his hand to keep the clansmen who were burning away from the bone cauldron, and then gently poured all the water in the wooden barrel into the bone cauldron.

Hiss!

When the water was poured into the pot, a violent sound came out of the pot, which was extremely harsh, and Shen Nong was also afraid that he would be splashed by the water, so he hurriedly avoided it from a distance.

Seeing the bubbling of the water that was poured into the bone pot by Shen Nong, all the people of the Huangqiu tribe looked at Shen Nong with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he suddenly boiled water, you must know that usually in the Huangqiu tribe, the water will only be boiled when it is time to cook meat.

"You still have to use water from wells during this time, not from ditches. Shen Nong said.

"Huh?"

"Why, Wu, the water in this Bai Zeli has come. ”

After hearing Shen Nong's words, most of the clansmen were reluctant, and now that there was a ditch as a nearby water source, who would be willing to go to the earth well to fetch water.

"This is my order, and no one should go to the ditch to get water without my consent. Shen Nong didn't have any intention of negotiating, and said categorically.

Hearing Shen Nong's words, all the clansmen were silent for a moment, they could see that Shen Nong was not joking now, Wu was telling the truth!

"How did the oysters die before, do you remember?" Shen Nong glanced at all the clansmen standing nearby, and said warningly: "Now there may be something hidden in the ditch that makes the oysters look like that, if you drink the water in the ditch, maybe they will die like the oysters, no one wants to die like that, right?"

As soon as Shen Nong asked this question, the expressions of all the clansmen suddenly became extremely shocked, they still remembered the tragic death of the oyster, and the purple tentacles that kept growing wildly from all over the body would definitely not be forgotten in a short period of time.

"Wu, how did the water in the ditch become like this, wasn't it fine before?" asked a clansman.

"It's different now than before, for the sake of all of us in the short term, no one is allowed to drink water from the ditch, and no one is allowed to jump into the ditch to bathe or boil meat with the water from the ditch, or even touch it. Shen Nong said lightly: "But you don't have to worry, as the water source in our tribe, I will definitely not give up it, everyone wait, it will be fine in a few days." ”

Hearing Shen Nong's words, everyone was relieved, and they were extremely confident that Wu would never lie to them.

Of course, Shen Nong would not lie to them, this ditch is also a very important existence for himself, because it is related to the future 'every household has water' plan of the Huangqiu tribe, so Shen Nong wants to keep this ditch no matter what.

And now what he has to do is to test whether there are parasitic spores in the ditch, or whether the parasitic spores will die after being scalded by boiling water, and whether they can continue to have that terrible parasitic ability, which is why Shen Nong suddenly wants to scoop the water and boil the pot, he wants to test.

Goo-goo-goo!

Under the roasting of the fire, the water in the bone pot quickly boiled, and a large number of blisters continued to rise in the center of the bone pot, which was obviously burned to a very high temperature.

Shen Nong was not satisfied with this, because there was no thermometer, he couldn't know what the specific temperature in the bone pot was at this time, so he was still waiting, and when the water began to show signs of being boiled dry, it meant that the temperature in the pot had reached an extreme, and at that time he could officially test the water that had been boiled, and whether the creatures would be in danger after drinking it.

When the water in the bone pot finally showed signs of boiling dry, Shen Nong immediately extinguished the fire in the stone stove with a blower, and began to wait for the water to cool down.

At that moment, a sentry suddenly poked his head out of the sentry hut above the northern wall and shouted into the grass, "Someone is coming outside! ”

This news immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone became vigilant, and those people who came outside at this moment did not know whether they were friends or foes, and they could not be nervous.

"Go check it out. Xiong said that as the chieftain he still had a lot of prestige in the tribe, so immediately a few people from the Huangqiu tribe ran towards the north side of the wall, and they quickly climbed up the wall, and went to the sentry hut to look out through the window.

I saw that there was a group of people standing under the wall at this moment, and there were as many as seven people when they counted carefully, each of them was full of animal skin bags, as if they knew that there was a Huangqiu tribe in the wall, so they directly raised their heads and shouted to the sentry hut: "We have no malice, we just want to come and trade some water with your tribe, can you let us in?"

"Trading water?" A Huangqiu tribesman couldn't help but be curious, it was the first time he saw someone running to the door of someone else's tribe to ask for trading water, but this kind of thing was not something they could decide by themselves, so the Huangqiu tribesman immediately climbed down the fence and ran to Shen Nong's side to tell him about it.

"Trading water?" Shen Nong couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, basically every tribe has its own water source, otherwise if a tribe has no water, there is no way to survive and reproduce in this world.

And more importantly, now that the season is already autumn, and the weather is no longer as hot as it was during the great dry season, how can someone be so short of water that they need to run to the door of other tribes and risk being killed to trade water?

Although he was very puzzled in his heart, after learning that there were only seven people on the other side, Shen Nong finally agreed, he wanted to see what was going on with this group of people.

Under Shen Nong's instructions, the seven people quickly turned in from outside the northern wall, and under the leadership of the Huangqiu tribesmen, they walked up to Shen Nong with a tired and fearful expression and said: "Respected Wu, we are members of the Huatian tribe, and we came to your tribe this time in the hope of being able to trade water with your tribe. ”
