【062】The ditch was completed

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, whether it is the branches and leaves of the trees or the plants on the ground, all of them are curled up by the sun, and the rocks and bones exposed to the sun are hot.

In this hot weather, the tribesmen of the Huangqiu tribe did not hide in the cave to avoid the cold, but stood on the grass outside the cave, looking at the forest step by step.

"Here they are, they're coming!" said Bone Peck excitedly.

I saw a sudden sound of rustling in the forest, and then the figures of Shen Nong and others appeared in the eyes of everyone, and the members of the collection team and the hunting team did not go out today, but worked together to help the construction team to complete the last section of the ditch.

I saw that the ditch, which took 22 days, was finally dug from the side of Bai Ze to the Huangqiu tribe, and it was only ten steps away from the location of the grassland.

Shen Nong smiled and shouted to the clansmen: "Work hard! The ditch is almost finished!"

"Yes!" Chi, Shaohao, Feike, Shi Li and the others shouted loudly, and the strength at hand also accelerated a lot.

Soon, the distance of ten steps was fleeting, and the end of the ditch was finally completely connected to the Huangqiu tribe, but everyone did not see the water of Baize Lake in their imagination in the ditch that was two meters deep, and they couldn't help but look at Shen Nong suspiciously, as if asking, 'What about the water'?

"Don't be in a hurry, the water will be there soon. Shen Nong turned his head and nodded at Chi, who immediately dropped the tools in his hand and ran in the direction of Bai Ze.

......

On the shores of Lake Shirasawa, a ditch connects this end of Shirasawa.

Four members of the Huangqiu tribe were standing in this place with some impatience, each of them holding a wooden stick three meters long and with a thick bowl mouth.

"Chief, why hasn't anyone over there come to pass the word yet? One of the clansmen couldn't help but ask.

I saw that his body was covered with hot sweat, and his hair was wet and fell down on his shoulders in strips, as if he had just returned from swimming in the water, and the other tribesmen were not much better, and some of them were even so hot that their faces were red like a boiled briquette.

Xiong Yao said calmly: "Wait, if the ditch is dug, Wu will definitely let people run over and ask us to open the gate and release water." ”

After speaking, Xiong Yao couldn't help but focus on the connection between the ditch and Bai Ze.

I saw a large wooden plank with three fists thick being firmly stuck in the ditch, and there were many stones and dirt blocking it next to it, this combination named 'sluice' by Shen Nong was a perfect way to stop the water of Baize Lake from flowing along the ditch to the Huangqiu tribe.

Today is the day when the ditch is completed, and when Shen Nong's order comes, Xiong Yao and the others will immediately use the wooden stick in their hands to stab over the plank, so that the water of Baize Lake can flow into the ditch without hindrance, and flow all the way down the ditch to the Huangqiu tribe.

"When will it be ......" Before the clansman could finish speaking, Chi's figure ran out of the forest, and before the others could run to Xiong Yao and the others, they were already shouting at the top of their voices: "Chief, you can do it!"

When Xiong Yao heard this, he finally couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "Do it!"

"Yes!" The other clansmen suddenly had a huge amount of energy in their bodies, and hurriedly clenched the wooden sticks, and slammed them towards the wooden plank like a battering ram hitting the enemy's city gate.

Bang!

At first, the planks moved slightly, and a few crevices appeared at the edges, and some of the lake water seeped out of these cracks, soaking the mud in the ditch.

Bang!

The second time, the planks were skewed and tilted outward at 60 degrees, and when there was no time, the water of Baize Lake immediately poured into the ditch one by one, and soon a small puddle was formed at the bottom of the ditch.

Bang!

The third time, the wooden plank was completely knocked down, and the water of Baize Lake was like a flood discharge from Tianchi into the ditch like a crazy flood, and the continuous lake water instantly filled the height of the ditch, and even collided, splashing water droplets on the faces of Xiong Yao and others standing on the edge of the ditch.

Watching this 'water dragon' surging all the way towards the forest, I believe that it will not be long before the Huangqiu tribe will be reached, and by that time, the tribesmen will no longer need to worry about the lack of water.

"Let's go, go back and see. The bear sickle discarded the stick and walked in the direction of returning to the tribe.

......

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Under the gaze of everyone, a large amount of white lake water rushed from the forest, and the people of the Huangqiu tribe who had been drawing water from Baize all the year round immediately recognized that this was the lake water of Baize, that is to say, the ditch proposed by Wu was really successful! The water of Baize Lake really took the initiative to flow to the door of the Huangqiu tribe, and it was no longer a problem for the tribesmen to get water in the future.

The menacing lake finally calmed down after successfully reaching the end of the ditch, and the tribesmen standing on both sides of the ditch even saw fish swimming in the ditch, and it seemed that if anyone was idle and had nothing to do, they could come here to catch fish and add some food to the tribe.

"Water! It's really water! We finally don't have to go to Bai Ze to get water anymore!" an elderly man suddenly fell to his knees on the edge of the ditch, and shouted excitedly and silently at the water of Bai Ze Lake in the ditch.

I saw that his face was full of tears for a while, and it seemed that he was really crying from the bottom of his heart, and everyone who listened to this cry couldn't help but feel very sad, and stood next to the ditch for a while with a sad expression and was silent.

This made Shen Nong feel very puzzled, why did he finally let the tribe get water, and in the future, the tribesmen no longer had to risk their lives to go through the forest to get water from Baize Lake, why did everyone look so unhappy now?

So, Shen Nong couldn't help but use his elbow to push the flying shell standing beside him and asked, "Flying shell, what's wrong with everyone? ”

Feike said with a very sad expression: "In the past, many clansmen in our tribe died in order to get water, but now we don't need to take water anymore, everyone is missing the dead clansmen." ”

"Oh, that's right. Shen Nong nodded understandingly, he had seen four clansmen who were fetching water by the Baize Lake being eaten by the water monster in Bai Zeli, this danger obviously happened every time the clansmen went out to fetch water, the difference was just that some people were lucky and managed to survive, while others were more unlucky, and they died directly without a whole body, and there was no trace of thought left.

Looking at the surrounding clansmen with sad expressions on their faces, Shen Nong said silently in his heart inexplicably: "Since I have come to this tribe and become your witch, you have treated me like family these days, don't worry, I will do my best in the future to make everyone's life better and better." ”
