Chapter 14 The Reward for Drawing Water
Ye Xi and Li Tu stood behind the tree, watching the warehouse tiptoe, running to the lake with agility, gently putting the water pipe into the water with extreme care, and then quickly running back.
The whole round trip takes no more than fifteen seconds.
I don't know if the tongue that came and went without a trace was because it was full and didn't come out of the lake.
Ye Xi grabbed the other end of the water pipe: "Okay, let's dig a pit in the ground, and you can wait to receive water." ”
Position: "Is it right here?"
Ye Xi looked around for a while, and felt that this place was quite hidden: "Just here, if you want to dig a deeper pit, it must be lower than the level of the lake." ”
Totem warriors have strength, and digging a deep pit is naturally trivial. The two dug together, and it didn't take long for a large pit to appear.
The two of them were afraid that it was not deep enough, so they stood at the bottom of the pit and dug down, and the soil was thrown to the ground like ashes.
Ye Xi, who was standing on the ground, looked at it and estimated that the depth should be about the same.
Ye Xi pushed the wooden barrel to the side of the pit: "I'll move the wooden barrel down, you catch it." ”
With a bang, the butcher at the bottom of the pit caught the barrel.
"Get out of the way, and I'll come down too. Ye Xi said to the two people at the bottom of the pit.
The diameter of the pit was large enough to hold a barrel and three people to stand.
Bang, Ye Xi also jumped into the pit.
Seeing the two people at the bottom of the pit who had become disgraced because of digging the pit, Ye Xi wanted to laugh unkindly, but held back.
No one wants to be covered in dirt and ashes, so Cangpan and Litu are not in a good mood now, they feel that they are very unlucky, and they are actually sent by the chief to follow Ye Xi to mess around.
Will the lake water flow down the "pipe" and into the barrel by itself? Ye Xi doesn't know witchcraft, how is it possible?!
Ye Xi could see that the two were in a bad mood and did not expose it.
Just a little while, and they'll feel like it's all worth it.
Ye Xi put the water pipe into the wooden bucket, groped in the water pipe for a while, and touched a straw rope, Ye Xi hooked the straw rope with his fingers.
"Well, now it's time to witness the miracle. ”
Ye Xi's fingers hooked the straw rope and pulled the straw rope out little by little.
At the other end of the straw rope is a cork stopper, which is tightly embedded with the "pipe" and is a bit difficult to pull up.
Cangpan and Tu looked at Ye Xi pulling the straw rope.
So far, they can't figure out what Ye Xi wants to do, whether it is this "water pipe", or this deep pit, and this straw rope that keeps pulling out.
The "water pipe" was too long, and Ye Xi pulled the rope out little by little.
There was already a circle of straw rope on the ground, and it should be almost there...... Just as I was thinking this, a cork mixed with lake water spewed out of the "water pipe"!
The warehouse and the slaughter are sluggish, they read it right, this and this, it's really water!
Ye Xi hurriedly pressed the water pipe and put it at the bottom of the barrel.
"It's really water!" Tu's eyes widened in shock, and his face, which had always been fierce and expressionless, looked stunned at the moment.
The water in the "water pipe" trickled down into the barrel, and suddenly there was a small half bucket.
Cangpan looked at the more and more water, and his eyes were about to pop out: "How the hell is this done, is it witchcraft?"
Ye Xi waved his hand: "It's not witchcraft, it's just the siphon principle." ”
"Siphon principle?" "Cangpan and Tu Mian looked at each other and couldn't understand each other.
"It's a problem to explain, you just have to remember that you can use this method to get water in the future. ”
yes, as long as you can get water...... The water shortage problem of the tribe was thus solved? Cangpan and Litu were a little stunned.
Seeing that the bucket was getting fuller and fuller, Ye Xi unceremoniously picked up a handful and took a sip.
The sound of the water woke up the two, Cangpan and Litu looked at the water in the bucket, felt that the water was extremely attractive, their throats were thirsty, they couldn't speak, and the two also drank water together.
The three of them drank water and drank a full stomach, and took a bath happily, rubbing off the dirty mud, and the three primitive people who were originally dirty suddenly took on a new look.
"I feel like I've lost three pounds. Li Tu sighed.
Cangpan wiped a handful of water droplets from his face and sighed comfortably: "Yes, it seems that I haven't been so clean in the dry season." ”
Ye Xi shook his hair, and felt just one word: "Cool!"
The trio happily returned to the tribe carrying buckets.
In the tribe, looking at the three people who were rejuvenated, and a large bucket full of water, the jaws of the clansmen were shocked.
It was like a drop of water was splashed in a pot of oil, and the whole tribe suddenly boiled.
"Wow, you guys really got water!"
"So much water, a bucket full!"
"Are you all hurt?"
The crowd looked at them repeatedly, and finally confirmed that they really had no injuries on their bodies!
"They won't take a shower, will they?!"
"Oh my God, how the hell is it possible to get water unscathed? Could it be that you can use the intestines of a thorny dreadbeast to get water?"
"It should be, Ye Xi is really amazing!"
"No, no, no, it should be Ye Xi's teacher, that Master Wu is really amazing. ”
"What's the matter, anyway, Ye Xi inherited the knowledge of that witch, and now he has become so powerful. ”
The chief was shocked to see the clear water in the barrel, he didn't have much hope, who knew that they could really bring back so much water unscathed!
The chief pulled through the warehouse and asked, "How did you do that?"
Cangpan touched his head: "Actually, I don't know much, the lake water flows out of the intestines of the thorny dinosaur by itself." ”
Cangpan told them in detail what Ye Xi asked them to do at that time, including putting the "water pipe" into the lake, digging a deep pit in the ground, and pulling the straw rope to pull the cork out.
The chief pondered for a long time and wondered: "...... Could it be that Ye Xi knows witchcraft?"
"We thought so too, but Ye Xi said it wasn't witchcraft. ”
The chief frowned: "It's not witchcraft?" But he couldn't understand why if it wasn't witchcraft, the lake would flow from the other side.
Then the cone came out of the cave.
"Ye Xi, Ye Xi, Wu let you go in to see him!"
Ye Xi's face straightened, "Okay, I'll go right away." "The news reached Wu's ears so quickly.
Wu lived in the deepest part of the cave, and Ye Xi borrowed a torch and walked slowly inside.
The cave was really deep, and it took about five minutes before Ye Xi walked to the end.
Then he was surprised to find that there was light in the deepest part of the cave, not darkness.
A hole was cut into the top of the rock wall, and light shone through the hole.
Wu Duan sat cross-legged on a stone platform.
The light shone right above the witch's head, making the witch look a little mysterious.
With this faint light, you can also clearly see that on the rock wall on the side of Wu, there is a large Tushan totem painted with vermilion paint.
Standing a few steps away from the stone platform, Ye Xi saluted the witch: "I've seen the witch." ”
Wu smiled kindly: "You're here." ”
"Yes, Witch"
Wu nodded: "I know about your water." ”
Ye Xi said in his heart, it was really for this.
"Tell me in detail how you get water. ”
There is nothing to hide, Ye Xi explained the method used in detail.
After Ye Xi finished speaking, Wu closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, then opened his eyes and sighed: "You can come up with such a method without witchcraft, that witch is really knowledgeable." ”
Ye Xi didn't talk.
Wu: "With this method, it will be much safer for the tribe to get water in the future, and you have solved our problem of water shortage in the dry season." ”
Ye Xi said that he was brave enough to support him and helped him hunt thorny dinosaurs, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use this method.
Wu nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to him: "You have made a great contribution this time, what reward do you want?"
Ye Xi was overjoyed, and sure enough, he came.
"Wu, I'll tell you the truth, my body is too thin, and I want some fierce beast blood to nourish my body. ”
Ye Xi opened his mouth widely, and directly asked Wu for the blood of the fierce beast.
Wu didn't change his face, and nodded lightly: "Yes, in addition to the blood of the fierce beast, I can also give you some fierce beast meat, which is also very good for your body." ”
Ye Xi was overjoyed, he really could.
But he listened to the next Wu Dao: "It's just that there is not much flesh and blood of fierce beasts in the tribe, and only a part of the blood of fierce beasts can be cashed out now, and other rewards will be given to you in the future." ”
Ye Xi's excited expression froze, okay, it's really not that good, but it is an unexpected joy to be able to get the blood of the fierce beast, and he will not be too greedy.
