Chapter Twenty-Six: Heavy Rain Stops, New Planning

The next morning, Xia Qi stretched his waist and walked out of the tent, the heavy rain was still falling, but compared with the previous day, it was much lighter.

After washing his face, Xia Qi called the deer over and asked, "How are those newcomers?" ”

"It's all pretty honest." The deer replied.

Xia Qi nodded and said, "That's fine." The newcomers will be left to you for the time being. ”

Later, the deer brought Tao and them fish soup, much to Tao's surprise.

In this era, food is scarce, everyone eats a full meal, and even if there is enough food, they will choose to keep some of it for later use.

Just like the Tao tribe in the past, even if Tao was the leader of the tribe, it didn't mean that he could eat enough every day. Therefore, in Tao's eyes, these actions of the Xia Qi tribe are tantamount to being a loser.

But the others didn't care so much, and couldn't wait to lift the hide on top of the stone pot, and a group of people gathered around the pot to eat, even if the rain fell into it, they didn't care.

At noon, the deer brought a few pots of fish soup again, which made Tao's heart even more unsteady.

In the next two days, the fish soup was eaten three times a day, and some people even began to dislike the fish soup. Tao saw this scene in his eyes, and his heart was even more unsteady.

Finally, on the third day, the rain finally stopped, and with it, fog followed.

The land was so humid that many places became swamps, and some of the cols were filled with water and turned into lakes.

As the largest lake in this area, Daxia Lake, that is, the lake next to the Xia tribe, this is the name given by Xia Qi.

At this time, the water level of Daxia Lake soared again, and it was less than three miles away from the camp, Xia Qi pondered, it was really not good, so he could only move the camp far away.

Simply, the lake no longer rises, and there is still a faint trend of falling, Xia Qi estimates that this is because there are other outlets in Daxia Lake.

However, because there was water everywhere, the sun began to fog as soon as it shone, and it was in the jungle, so the wind could not blow in, so the fog began to get heavier and heavier.

Although it was foggy and the ground was muddy, some work could be continued, such as logging.

At this time, the deer again approached them and asked the men to go to the logging team to help carry the cut wood, and the women and children to clean up the camp.

Tao happily agreed, he knew very well in his heart that in this era, if you want to do nothing, eat and wait for death, then you are really waiting for death, and they must show their value.

The deer and the men of the Tao tribe quickly walked through the camp to the jungle next to the camp, and at this time, the people of the logging team were wielding the stone axes in their hands, and a dense muffled sound was heard continuously.

"This is the logging team in the tribe, you have only one job, that is, to move these felled trees to a specific area outside the tribe, and at the same time break off the branches on these trunks, these branches are used to make fires, and the trunks have other functions, and then if you encounter any problems, you can ask the logging team, I have something to do, so I will leave first."

After listening to the deer, Tao took the lead and walked to a tree that had been cut down, and was about to bend down, but was stopped by the deer again.

"These jobs are done by other people, and you have other jobs."

"Oh."

Tao Wenyan agreed, and then stupidly followed behind the deer.

Subsequently, the deer took him to Xia Qi's residence.

"You're the patriarch of the previous tribe, aren't you?" Looking at the Tao in front of him, Xia Qi said with a smile.

"How do you know?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Tao regretted it.

However, Xia Qi didn't mean to blame, just said: "You don't care how I know, you just need to answer whether I am or not." ”

"Yes." Tao nodded.

"I saw you guys using some very special containers for fish soup before, what is that?" Xia Qi asked again.

Tao Wenyan took out a black autumn from his arms, which didn't look like a cup or a bowl, and then handed it to Xia Qi with a reluctant face.

Then he explained: "I made this thing by accident, and I named it Tao. ”

Xia Qi couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and after holding it in his hand and observing it for a while, he handed it back to Tao.

And said to him, "In the future, you will be in charge of firing pottery." ”

"Yes, that's what I'm good at." Tao Wenyan nodded and said.

After Tao left, Xia Qi began to continue to build the so-called Ordnance Department.

From a very early age, the weapons in the tribe were made by the Aries with people, but the functions were not yet perfect. As the population grows and battles become more frequent, the depletion of weapons is sure to be fast.

Therefore, the establishment of this ordnance department is naturally as soon as possible.

However, this is a very important department, and first of all, loyalty must be high. There is no need to worry about this, Xia Qi's talent is used to enhance the loyalty of the clansmen.

Also, sharpening weapons is also a job that requires patience and care, so it's best to pick someone with the upper limit of stamina and upper mental strength.

As the days passed, the walls of the camp gradually took on the shadow of the wall, but as the heavy rain passed, the temperature began to drop sharply.

"It's so cold......"

When Xia Qi walked out of the tent that day, he found that a layer of hoarfrost had risen on the ground.

This discovery made Xia Qi's brows furrow, which showed that winter was not far away at this time.

However, there is not enough food in the tribe now, and because of the heavy rain before, many tents are damaged, and such tents may not be enough to support the winter.

Or rather, the tent made of animal skins was still too thin to hold the heat.

So what Xia Qi had to do next was to stock up on more food and design a shelter that was much stronger than a tent of animal skins.

The first thing Xia Qi thought of was the wooden house.

However, with the current production technology of the tribe, it is not enough to support the construction of wooden houses, so Xia Qi can only settle for the next best thing and choose to build a nest.

Diden, as the name suggests, is to dig a pit in the ground first, and then use the branches of trees as the skeleton, and then cover it with animal skins, soil, branches and leaves.

Nests are much warmer than tents, and can be built larger and can be used to make fires inside.

As long as you do a good job of ventilation, you don't have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning.

Just do it, Xia Qi directly found someone and said his idea.

As for what the patriarch of the family said, the people of the Xia tribe would not refute it, and they would do whatever Xia Qi said.
