Chapter 165: Building a New Home
Xiaotu Mountain is not close to the valley, and they have walked all the way for more than three days before finally coming to the new territory.
Looking at this valley full of greenery, everyone was stunned.
When they arrived in the morning, the fog in the valley had not yet completely dissipated, and the whole valley was shrouded in a layer of misty mist, which fluttered in the sunlight, lined with green meadows and tall cypress trees on the edge of the valley, like a fairyland.
Even if you have heard it from people who have been here thousands of times, it is not as shocking as what you have witnessed, this is simply the ideal home in everyone's hearts, even in a dream, it is not so perfect.
Everyone fell in love with this place at a glance, and the loss of leaving their hometown disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only a vision for the future.
The ten remaining warriors were very happy to see the tribe relocated, and excitedly took them to visit the entire valley.
Seeing that the meadow was so wide, Pu Tai's son Tao and the other children couldn't help but run away.
Shui Wen hurriedly scolded Tao: "Don't run around, be careful of the poisonous insects here!"
A soldier who stayed behind said with a smile: "It's okay, we have cleaned up the poisonous insects in the entire valley in the past few days, and there should be no more." ”
Shui Wen was a little shocked when he heard this, and looked around: "Such a big valley, have you cleaned up all the poisonous insects?"
"You don't know, there are basically no poisonous insects and fierce insects in this valley, so we didn't bother much. The fighter explained.
While his Eminem was talking to the soldiers, Tao had already dragged his friends all over the valley and ran around.
These children have never run so recklessly, in the past, the tribe only had a small loess clearing outside the cave that was safe, like here, such a large meadow, you can run and roll at will.
"Hahaha......" The children's laughter spread all the way.
Mizurea shook his head with a smile and turned to look at the valley with the others.
Putai said to his partner, "Are you thirsty, you see there is a stream over there, the water is very clear, and it tastes sweet." ”
Mizuki saw a mountain spring flowing down from the rock wall and into the valley and turning into a stream. This is the creek they talked about, right? Shui Wen was so excited that he put down his luggage and went that way, only to see that the children of Tao and the others were running that way.
Then the children jumped straight into the creek.
Shui Wen's face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly as he ran towards that side: "Tao, come back!"
The other children's Eminem was also anxious.
In their minds, water is synonymous with danger, not even a stream that reaches the calf, and a few of them are still children!
Putai smiled and grabbed his partner and comforted: "It's okay, this creek is safe, there is almost nothing dangerous in it except for small fish." ”
Although his partner said this, the water ripple was still worried, ran to the stream, and looked at the stream uneasily.
Tao and other children had a lot of fun, the crystal water splashed, and the water pattern saw that it was really fine, so he put his mind at ease.
The soldiers who stayed behind took the tribesmen to visit the cave.
In this ideal place to live, even the caves are ready-made, and there is no need for the Tushan people to dig the caves again, and they feel that there are many small caves inside, and they feel that they can't be more satisfied.
But Ye Xi was not satisfied with the cave.
They will be living here for quite some time before the stone house is built, so it will take a little time to get a little more comfortable.
The first thing to do is to clean it up. There was a peculiar smell wafting from the cave, as the Winged Man barely cleaned it, and there was a lot of filth inside.
There is also a small cave in the cave with a low top, and people can't stand, so it's obviously not very comfortable to live in this way.
The Tushan people cleaned the cave well, expanded it again, and repaired the potholed cave wall by the way.
Because the heart of moving to a new home was hot, everyone was in high spirits, and by about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the whole cave was like a decent one.
After Ye Xi went through this time, he didn't like the darkness of the cave, so he moved a lot of stone basins, took some star algae and raised them in these stone basins, so that the star algae could be used as a light source.
The star algae swam around in the stone basin, glowing brightly, brightening the dark cavern.
Ye Xi is a pity, if there is glass or other transparent containers, these star algae will be very beautiful when they are placed, and the light emitted will be even brighter.
Suspecting that the star algae was not bright enough, Ye Xi designed a candle pool by himself.
The candle pond is a long recess along the edge of the cavern, filled with animal fat. Ye Xi's design is very ingenious, as long as it is lit with a torch, more than two dozen leads in the entire candle pool will be lit up instantly.
With the light of the star algae and the candle pool, there is no darkness in the cave now.
The cave was transformed so comfortably that many Tushan people didn't want to leave after entering, so they moved their animal skin blankets and couldn't lie down on the ground comfortably.
The problem of accommodation was solved, and Ye Xi discussed it with the chief, so that everyone could use their spare time to build a house in addition to hunting.
The valley is high and the water does not flood in the rainy season, and there are no insects at night, so you can't talk about it without building stone houses.
The stone house built this time did not have to be built as big as it was during the rainy season, and then two dozen people crowded into one stone house. Now there is plenty of space, plenty of time, and everyone can have their own stone house.
As soon as this announcement came out, everyone was overjoyed, and they couldn't even dream of having a stone house of their own.
Although it is lively for everyone to live in a cave together, there are always inconvenient times, such as when the partner Dunlun is in charge, and he has to carefully avoid everyone, like a thief.
And if you have your own stone house...... The men glanced at their partners, and their hearts were on fire.
But this stone house can't be built at will, Ye Xi specially set aside a piece of land as a residential area, so as not to mess up the stone houses in the valley in the future. And he also drew a design drawing of the kang, so that they could build the kang according to this design when building a stone house.
With the kang, there is no need to be afraid of the cold wave during the rainy season. And you can also go to bed instead of lying on the ground.
In addition, the remaining star algae should also be settled well.
Only a small fraction of the algae are used for lighting in the cave, and most of them are kept in wooden barrels.
Ye Xi led the crowd to dig a canal, divert the stream, and store a small lake in the clearing. The lake is designed as living water, which is generally in the shape of a stomach, and is connected to the stream up and down. That is, the center is a circle, and the upper end is a canal to divert water, and the lower end is a canal to drain the stream.
In this way, the lake water will not stink. The two sides of the canal were fenced off with fences to prevent the algae from escaping into the stream.
The overall area of this small lake is not large, only about two acres. In fact, it is so small that it can't even be called a lake, at most it is a small pond, but Ye Xi stubbornly calls it a lake.
Because Ye Xi's habit of choosing a name is to like to send good wishes, for example, when Jiaojiao was still a small snake, he named it Jiao. Another example is this two-acre small pond, which he named Xingzao Lake.
He hopes that in the future, the star algae will be raised more and more, and then this star algae lake will expand more and more, and eventually become a real lake.
Starweed were clearly happy with their new home, and as soon as they poured them in, they swam around actively. It seems that trapping them in a barrel before has suffocated them.
Ye Xi stood next to Xingzao Lake and tore some carrion to feed them.
Watching them rush over to eat, it feels like they have a school of fish.
However, they are much more expensive than fish gold, and whether the reserve soldiers of the Tushan people can increase depends on them.
