040 The aqueduct was completed
When Lin Yan woke up, there was no one at home.
It seems that the bonus is really gone early, and I don't know what her harvest will be.
It was already seven o'clock, and the people digging the canal were about to assemble.
She ate two boiled eggs and roasted a few hairy chestnuts, and it didn't take long for the bonus to return.
Before I saw him, I heard his voice, and the laughter of flowers and leaves came in from outside the door.
Just listening to the voice, it's quite happy, and it should be a good thing.
Seeing Lin Yan in the yard, Hua Hong said happily: "Lin Yan, the pheasant forest is really right, wild eggs are everywhere, and everyone has gone." Fortunately, A-Niang's eyes are sharp and her hands are quick, and she picked up half a basket of eggs. β
She put the eggs in the basket in front of Lin Yan and asked her to see her results.
"A-Niang believe it now, what I said is true."
"Believe it, believe it, if you don't have to dig a canal, A-Niang must pick up more." The bonus is still not enough, "The trumpet in our field is also growing well, and it is already very tall." When I have collected the flax, I will make you some clothes. β
Looking at the tattered clothes on her daughter's body, Hua Bonus finally found out.
"Auntie, the grass branches look good to make clothes, when the twine is spun, let the grass branches make it for me."
Hua Hong smiled and nodded, "Okay, well, A-Niang's craftsmanship is not as good as grass branches." I'm going to dig a ditch, you're alone at home, don't run around, play with wild buds. β
Lin Yan said: "A-Niang took me with me, I want to see how the canal is doing." β
I've been digging for seven or eight days, and I don't know what the progress is, so I'm quite worried.
Hua Bonus didn't think much about it, and left with Lin Yan.
When they came, someone had already arrived, and they were all very happy to see Lin Yan.
Who doesn't know Lin Yan now, she has done too much.
The section that the second group is responsible for alone has already been dug and is now digging a pool with the first and third groups.
The canal is undulating according to the terrain, twisting and turning, about half a meter deep and more than one meter wide. The pool is much larger, planned to be one meter deep and covers an area of about 30 square meters.
Half of it has been dug and will be completed in a few days.
Lin Yan sighed again, the hardships of manpower. It's not easy to do whatever you want.
She found a stone to sit on and watched the people of the second group work hard. The sackcloth on their bodies is all short-sleeved and short-sleeved shorts, and some of them are very shabby.
Holding sharp wooden thorns or stones in their hands, they dig out the black soil little by little, and then use a basket to transport the soil to the side and pile it up into small mounds.
Fortunately, people have brute strength, otherwise it would not be ordinary difficult to dig a ditch with this ineffective tool.
On August 8, the canal was dug and many people ran to the source to witness it.
Hei Tu personally dug through the section that connected to the Sun River, a small opening, connecting the aqueduct and the Sun River, and the river water poured in.
People follow the flow of water, walking along the canals, watching the water flow through the canals, pouring into the dug pools, and when the pools are full, they continue to flow down the outlets.
In this way, it took a day, the entire canal was connected, and the turbid black water gradually cleared up as it flowed and settled.
A major project was completed, and from this day on, there was a small canal on the edge of CitΓ© Soleil, named the Drinking River, which made it convenient for everyone to use water.
The Drinking Water River is only a mile away from Sun City, so you don't have to walk so far to get water.
Next, each group built a trail that led to the drinking river.
By the time everything was done, it was August 15, and Hua Bonus was finally busy, and I had time to take Lin Yan with me.
The big water tank at home has to be filled with water every day.
Seeing that A-Niang is busy every day, all kinds of little things are constant, there is no time to be idle.
Lin Yan looked at his little arms and short legs again, and sighed, it was still too slow, and he couldn't do anything.
"Auntie, are you going to the pheasant forest today?"
"Go, I'll go when I've fed the pika, I'm going to mow the grass and come back, these pikas are too edible."
"Take me with you. I helped my mother mow the grass. β
Bonus agreed, "Okay, don't run around outside." Now there are a lot of people who go to the pheasant forest and pika field, and it looks safe, but you are still too young to go alone. β
"Auntie, I won't go alone." Lin Yan hurriedly assured that there were many people in the wild, and it seemed safe, but in case, her small body couldn't run.
Although she wants to die every day, it is better to die than to live, she doesn't want to be devoured by the beast, and she can't stand it even if she thinks about it.
Hua Hong touched Lin Yan's head and praised: "You have been obedient and sensible since you were a child, so that A-Niang can worry about it." Now that the conditions are good, you will definitely be able to grow up, grow strong, and become the most powerful person in the tribe in the future. β
"Aren't I good now, I'm the smartest person in the tribe?" Lin Yan frowned, expressing dissatisfaction with Hua Hong's words.
Of all the savages, she was the most intelligent. After all, not everyone can know it.
Hua Hong laughed: "You are amazing, you are the most powerful, it is A-Niang who said it wrong." Now whoever mentions you says that you are the smartest, smarter than anyone else. β
"Hehe, I'll be even better in the future." Lin Yan saw that the bonus had finished feeding the pika, picked up the basket, turned around and prepared to leave, "A-Niang, when will we look for the flock of geese that day." β
She hadn't forgotten the geese, and it would have been nice if she had caught a few. In addition to being a treasure all over the body, the goose is also very fierce and can take care of the home.
"Really looking for it?" Hua Hong was stunned, it was a flock of geese, it was very fierce when it looked at it, who dared to take the initiative to provoke it, and they all ran for their lives when they saw it.
"Of course you have to find it, A-Niang, don't you want to eat those goose eggs?"
"I want to eat. But the goose looks fierce and is not easy to mess with. "Although Hua Bonus wants to eat goose eggs, she still has the fear of beasts in her bones.
"We are picking goose eggs, not provoking the geese. A-Niang, you see that there are so many people picking up eggs in the pheasant forest, and I haven't seen the pheasants come out, maybe the geese flock is like this. β
Hua Bonus was skeptical, "Pheasants can fly, and they don't attack people, and they fly away when there are too many people." Are geese really the same as pheasants? β
Lin Yan hesitated, the goose was very fierce, and she was not sure.
As the two of them spoke, they went to their own field, and watched the trumpet grow happily, but the weeds inside were overgrown.
The weeds in the land that have been cleared out of the land have not been cleaned, even if they come to take care of it every day.
They cut the grass for the pika by pulling out the weeds in the field and bringing them back, killing two birds with one stone.
"This weed grows too fast, and it can't be cleaned every day." Hua Bonus said while pulling weeds.
Lin Yan also followed and pulled the weeds, "A-Niang, the newly opened land is like this, the weeds are not easy to get rid of, it will be good in a few years." I heard Mrs. Mao say yesterday that the six groups of water mother-in-law's houses have also been cleared, what a large piece of land, is it true? β
"It's true, there are many people in the family, and the whole family went up together, and opened up a large piece of land, and that field was planted with thorns, and there were also hairy chestnuts and wild fruit trees transplanted from other places, and it was full. Many people are envious. Then, many families followed suit. Our land opened early, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to grab such a close place now. Now, all the places that can be cleared are occupied. β
Speaking of this, Hua Hong was very glad in her heart, she listened to her daughter at that time, and opened up the wasteland early, so that she had this land.
