Chapter 141: Kindness
Ilti and Gu Qiusha went hunting, and they had the intention of bringing back all the edible low-level star beasts in the vicinity. Xiao Ming was worried about the safety of the two daughters and wanted to move, but was later persuaded by the two daughters to give them a chance to "exercise".
Xiao Ming knew that the two girls wanted to go crazy, so he had to let it go, just let Jelly release scout bugs to follow, just in case of emergency.
Tifa took Yingluo with him, and Yuan Xiaomin helped the villagers to build a house.
However, no one had relevant experience, and there were no convenient things such as tents, so in the end, they still got the relevant resources from Jelly and built a half-wall house.
The so-called half-wall house is to dig a deep pit in the ground, and then build a low wall and roof on the pit, which is not only convenient and fast, but also uses less time. The main thing is that the warmth is quite good, and as long as the drainage system is done, it is an excellent house.
Tifa used the Fengming fist gloves, a punch of a big pit, it only took half an hour to blast out more than a hundred big pits, after these big pits are built, each can live at least three people, and the location is quite good, just in the valley on a high ground, forming a favorable formation, if there is any danger coming, you can also use this as a defensive stronghold, resisting step by step.
The Spirit Swallowing Turtle was ordered by Yuan Xiaomin to dig a drainage ditch and form a system around all the big pits. The turtle star beast is still very good at digging holes, and basically after Tifa punches out all the pits, it also completes the task, and the speed is terrifying.
The people in the village obeyed Xiao Ming's command (in fact, it was Jelly's command), and covered the pit with a large lid woven from dried willow branches, iron wire vines, and other things full of toughness. Then the gravel and dirt from the digging of pits and ditches were powdered, and then mixed with hay and lime to make a pulp. Finally, pour it onto the lid. The upper part of the half-walled house is considered complete.
This kind of workload is not complicated, it is just time-consuming, and the four hundred or so people in Yucun know that this is their future house, and they are all energetic, as long as they can still move, they do not stand aside and watch. Hundreds of people united as one, and in one day, more than 100 half-walled houses were built.
The jelly also added to the mud a catalyst that she had calculated from the plant. It can not only accelerate the drying and hardening of the mud, but also increase the hardness of the mud after it has dried.
"For safety reasons, we can't stay tonight yet. Tomorrow morning when the sun comes out. After a week of complete drying, these houses can reach 100 degrees of sturdiness! Enough for normal use!" Xiao Ming told Gao Gong according to Jelly's original words: "No one can be allowed to live in it tonight, the catalyst is poisonous before it dries, and it is dangerous to live in it!"
When Gao Gong heard this, he immediately rushed to catch Gao Shun, who was drilling into the half-wall room, and he didn't say a word, but he slapped him twice. This hairy boy screamed.
The other adults also heard Xiao Ming's words and hurriedly took care of the children around them.
It's late afternoon. Ilti and Gutyusha returned. The Violent Woman dragged a huge vine net alone, which contained no less than three hundred corpses of edible star beasts. To say the least, there are fifteen or sixteen tons. She dragged it alone, but it wasn't very difficult.
Xiao Ming saw it from a distance, and Tifa greeted him, the three of them worked together, directly grabbed the big net and ran, and arrived in the village in a few steps, and the villagers who surrounded them were stunned one by one, not only surprised by the number of prey, but also surprised by the strength of Xiao Ming's three people.
"Don't be stunned, let's deal with the beast corpse, hurry up!" Gao Gong shouted, and hundreds of people immediately responded.
Although the remnants of Yucun are all old and weak women and children, they were originally soldiers who had retired from some sects, or logistics personnel, and their combat effectiveness was not there, but their life skills were quite good, and two of them were leather masters, but they were disabled so they could no longer work, and after the collapse of the original sect, they could only fend for themselves.
"They are all a group of poor people!" Although Gao Gong is the strongest in Yucun and is a B-level power-based ability, his life skills are very poor, and he is not as good as his son Gao Shun, but he was driven out by a rather spicy woman, so he had to stand beside Xiao Ming and sigh.
"Strong people are never pitiful, they just need a chance!" Xiao Ming remembered Brutt's words.
The benefactor was right. We don't need anyone's pity, we just need a chance. The benefactor gave us this opportunity. As long as we survive this winter, we can plant in the valley in the spring, and I can go hunting for daily necessities, how can I live enough!" Gao Gong said, and knelt down to Xiao Ming again, but naturally he was held by Xiao Ming with one hand, and he couldn't kneel down.
Gao Gong stood up straight in embarrassment: "The strength of the benefactor is really admired by Gao Gong." Gao Gong had nothing to repay, he only dared to say that the benefactor had any requirements in the future, as long as he said it, Gao Gong would not dare to disobey the mountain and the sea of fire. ”
"I don't need your reward. If there is, then take these people to live. This is the best reward!" Xiao Ming said.
"Yes!" Gao Gong was a two-meter strong man, but in front of Xiao Ming, a young man who was less than one meter eight, he lowered his head and his eyes were red.
That night, everyone sang and danced around the campfire, the happiest day in the months since they were killed. At first, their team had a total of more than 800 people, but they froze to death, starved to death, were humiliated and beaten to death, and the number became smaller and smaller, and finally met Gao Gong and his son, and brought them here, although there was a place to stay, but they were still without food and clothing.
Although Gao Gong is a B-level power-based ability, his martial arts are too rough, if he faces the enemy head-on, it's okay, if he wants to hunt the star beast, unless he is a rampaging beast like a stone-toothed wild boar, otherwise there are few prey he can hunt.
If you set a trap or something, it will take a lot of time, and if you arrange it slowly, you can't quench your thirst at all.
In desperation, Gao Gong could only take people out to rob - as Yuan Xiaomin said, it was said to be a robbery, but in fact it was begging. Otherwise, how could he go out with a group of women and children?
As a result, they were lucky, and the first time they went out, they met Xiao Ming and them, if they met other unreasonable people, I am afraid that few of these people would survive.
The people in Yu Village were very curious about Xiao Ming's carriage, and they didn't know how that not very big carriage could hold so many food pills and so much wine. But when he went out to respect Xiao Ming, even the most naughty child would not peek inside the carriage.
Only Yuan Xiaomin, who knew the situation, guessed that it was space equipment, but of course she wouldn't say anything.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, everyone got up early and looked at the half-walled house one by one.
People are always like this, only after losing it did they understand the preciousness of what they once had, after being displaced for more than half a year, without eating, without clothing, without living, watching the familiar people around them fall one by one, when they were about to despair, once again they had something that could be called home, such an impact, for the people of Yucun, it can shake the soul.
Slowly, the light pierced through the clouds and into the valley, and as the light moved, one half-walled room after another was shrouded in the pale golden morning sun, and wisps of green smoke were visible to the naked eye, representing the last poison in the catalyst being expelled.
"Master, all the toxins have dissipated!" Jelly secretly scanned all the half-walled rooms and got a safe result.
"Guys, the time has come. Now, you have a home again!" Xiao Ming said loudly to all the people of Yucun who were looking at him.
"Yes, we have a home, I, we have a home?" an old man shuddered with excitement.
"We have a home, we have a home again!" a young woman cried heartbreakingly as she hugged her child, who was not yet sensible.
"We've got a home, we've got a home!" someone cheered, and everyone rose in harmony, and the sound shook the clouds.
Then everyone ran to the house with a whoop, and they wanted to see their home.
Entering the half-walled house, the special mud not only covers the roof above, but also evenly coats the pit to isolate the moisture in the ground, and the good drainage system not only ensures drainage, but also solves the problem of ventilation.
The cold of winter, after entering the house, seems to be isolated, even if there is nothing in the empty house, the temperature is two or three degrees higher than outside.
There is a large fire pit in the middle of the room, and there is a chimney to ensure ventilation, so as long as the fire is lit, the room will be warm like spring.
The roof is designed with several vents, and in the summer, as long as you open these vents, you can cool the breeze and not feel hot at all.
Although it is made of the most primitive materials, it is a near-perfect abode.
Everyone in Yu Village excitedly touched the qiē in the room one by one, and burst into tears with excitement.
"We should go!" Tifa whispered to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming nodded, did not disturb the excited Yucun people, packed up a qiē, drove the carriage, and walked out of the valley.
As soon as I walked to the mouth of the valley, there was a commotion behind me, and I saw more than 400 people up and down Yu Village, all standing neatly behind the carriage.
"Kneel!" the oldest man in the village pushed away the man who was supporting him, and was the first to kneel. Then everyone knelt down, and even the baby, which was being held by the mother, was lowered to the ground.
This is the highest etiquette.
"The grace of the benefactor's life, Yu Village will never forget it in his life, and he will always remember it in death. The four hundred and forty mouths of Yucun swear here, life and generation, from generation to generation, remember the great kindness of the benefactor, but it is useful, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and never give up!"
"Prostrate!"
The old man shouted, and all those who could move kowtowed three times, each of which was solid.
An inexplicable force gathered and entered Xiao Ming's soul world. (To be continued......)
