Chapter 8 Hard work pays off

In order to determine his own merit, the Xiaoqing River Jiaolong River God watched the human race Mei Jiu worship the heavens before disappearing into the river satisfied.

Song Youyu and Mei Jiu turned around the tribe and only waited for tomorrow to mobilize the tribesmen to build canals.

Early the next morning. Mei Jiu began to recruit people from his tribe, except for most of the women and some men who stayed behind to serve as food collectors, and the rest of the personnel had to go out to repair the canal.

It is said that almost all of them are dispatched, but in fact, there are not many people. Mei Jiu's tribe is a small tribe, with less than 2,000 men, women, and children combined. It is a slightly larger village.

Remove the old ones that can't be moved, and the ones that are too small. There are only eight or nine hundred people who can really do the work. It was these hundreds of people who came to the route measured by Song Youyu, and they were still making a mess when they were working.

These people have done such a big, collaborative project. Usually, these people gather food, hunt, and just scatter the seeds into the fields, and they don't even bother to weed the fields. It is also a loss that the land chosen is relatively fertile, otherwise it will be easy to starve to death with such a production method.

Hundreds of people worked for a day, and little progress was made. Some of the work is also hindering the progress of the project.

Song Youyu took a look, this is not good. If you continue like this, you won't be able to finish it until the herd arrives.

Helpless, Song Youyu had no choice but to be an engineer and technician and a manager. Song Youyu divided the personnel into groups, and each group found a sober person to be the leader, and then each group kept doing that kind of work.

The next day, the chaos gradually ordered, and the work was finally able to speed up the progress, and some results came out.

For the performance of Song Youyu's management ability. Mei Jiu was shocked and said that Song Youyu could be a general. and also said that even Mei Fangbo's clan warrior leader did not have the ability of Song Youyu.

looked at Mei Jiu's expression in the face of himself. Song Youyu couldn't help but snicker at Mei Jiu's lack of knowledge, this is an amazing ability, what can a junior high school student do well, what can be surprising.

In the following days, as he became familiar with his work, the progress of the canal became faster and faster day by day. looked at Mei Jiu and was amazed again.

Duration. Jiaolong also showed his head and asked if there was anything he could do to help.

For Jiaolong's words of help, Song Youyu was disdainful. If you really want to help, then use your magic power and directly open a river. A few kilometers of a river channel, for Jiaolong, is just a tail.

If Jiaolong wants to know Song Youyu's complaints, he must be aggrieved. If it were that simple, I would have done it a long time ago, and I would have to wait until you begged me.

In line with the principle of not using it in vain, Song Youyu still asked Jiaolong to create a batch of work utensils. The people of the tribe are too backward in the tools they use.

Jiaolong happily agreed, and in the mountains in the upper reaches of the Xiaoqing River, he got a batch of ironwood, and made a batch of work tools according to the tool diagram designed by Song Youyu.

After the use of these ironwood tools, which were as hard as steel, the progress of the project was faster. Song Youyu estimated that it should be completed before the arrival of the beast tide.

Song Youyu was there to build a canal to block the tide of beasts, and there was a big event in Shang, the center country of the human race in the desolate land.

The last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, King Xu, has enjoyed peace since his accession to the throne, and in the past few years, he was still a country and a peaceful country.

In February of the seventh year of the reign of King Zhou, due to the fact that King Su had not been diligent in court politics since his accession to the throne, the princes of the Seventy-two Roads in Beihai rebelled that year.

In the early morning of this day, he approved the minister's request and worshiped Wen Zhong, a disciple of the national teacher, to go to the crusade. After the dispersal of the dynasty, he went to the temple of the female snail Niangniang outside the capital to enter the incense and worship.

This time, something happened. The king was in the Nuwa Temple, and saw that Nuwa was graceful and noble, so he became obscene and mentioned the word obscenity on the temple wall.

This question was broken and discovered by the sage Nuwa. The wrath of the saints, that's still there.

Therefore, under the operation of the Heavenly Dao and the promotion of the saints, with the Zhou Dynasty Shang as the guide, the Great Tribulation of the Gods was officially launched.

Together with the Great Tribulation of the Gods, the Heavenly Dao descended a calamity qi, which can blind the heavens, disturb the hearts of monks, and hinder the advancement of high-level monks.

As a result, the entire flood was shrouded in a catastrophe.

Whether it is a large or small world, there is a gradual process for things at the higher level to affect the lower level.

The high-ranking monks in the flood wilderness were already busy avoiding the robbery. Some are looking for a person to replace the robbery, some are closing the mountain gate, some are running outside to find a way to cross the robbery, and some simply launch their own killing and robbery in advance to seek liberation. This also led to more and more battles in the wilderness.

The high-level people are crowded, and the bottom floor is still living an ordinary life like this.

As a time counter-current, Song Youyu has a prophetic advantage over the coming catastrophe. But it's just that you can know the general process in advance. This kind of prophet is not much of a bird for the current Song Youyu.

It's like a fallen leaf falling into a super tornado. The final result is only to resign yourself to fate, and the location of the big place is not up to you. All you can do is to take advantage of the situation to avoid trouble, and it is best to fall into the water and avoid the fire as much as possible.

Recently, Xiaoqinghe God, that dragon seems to have sensed something. From time to time, he appeared near the construction site, and from time to time urged Mei Jiu to speed up the progress of the canal. To this end, a batch of ironwood tools was also brought in.

Three days before the arrival of the beast tide. When the tribal hunters on guard in the distance had already brought news of the scattered beast herds in the front, the aqueduct was finally repaired.

It is a small earthen ditch five or six meters deep, ten meters wide, and nearly three kilometers long. This is already the limit of the ability of the Meijiu tribe, and after nearly a month of work, several people have been exhausted.

On the day when the water was ready to be opened, the people of the tribe stood on the bank of the canal on the side of the territory to see how the dragon drew water.

At noon, people who were already a little anxious finally saw the movement. With the mouth of the canal as the center, the water surface of the Xiaoqing River rises at a speed that is seen. In a few moments, the water was higher than the riverbank.

Seeing that the water was still rising above the riverbank, the people on the embankment screamed in fright.

Strangely, although the river was higher than the embankment, it did not overflow into the embankment. A huge wall of water stood in front of people.

The wall of water stopped rising after reaching a height of one or twenty meters, and stopped. Just when the panic of the people calmed down for a moment and they marveled at the water wall in front of them, they saw a huge current rushing out of the water wall and rushing straight down the canal.

The leather retaining wall between the earthen ditch and the Xiaoqing River disappeared in an instant under the huge flow of water. The huge flow of water rushed towards the low-lying land several kilometers away.

Looking at this magnificent sight, the people of the tribe stood on the embankment of the ditch and danced with joy. The water became more and more loud as the people danced and cheered. In the surging waves, a dragon can be faintly seen making waves in the current.

Under the impact of the huge waves, the small earthen ditch with a width of 10 meters was formed with little effort, and a bottomless waterway with a width of more than 200 meters was formed.

The waterways have widened nearly twenty-fold, and the amount of water flowing to the depressions has increased. The water of the Xiaoqing River rises and falls, and falls and rises. The extra water that rose quickly flowed into the depression.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Youyu couldn't help but think to himself. No, this dragon has behaved too much. Could it be that there is really something hidden in this matter, otherwise Jiaolong's performance is a bit abnormal.

After pondering for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, forget it, for Mei Jiu's tribe, this is a good thing after all. No matter what the reason for the dragon, maybe it's really the dragon that is idle, and find a good person to do it yourself.

Song Youyu, who was no longer cranky, went back with the tribesmen. It would take days for the water to fill the entire depression. It's all Jiaolong's life.

After dozens of days of hard work, people returned to their respective villages to wash and sleep. After Song Youyu and Mei Jiu drank a few glasses of turbid bad wine, they also went back to their residence to rest. In the past dozens of days, Song Youyu has been tired enough. The main thing is to be responsible for a lot of things, so I am tired.

The next day, when it was almost noon, Song Youyu was trying to go out to see how the situation was. Before he could leave, a servant came running with joy and horror on his face.

"Second master, water, water is full, full"

"Panicked, what water is full. ”

"Second master, the depression is full of water. Someone has already come to report back. ”

As soon as Song Youyu heard it, what, this night's work, the water in the depression was full. This dragon is too hard-working.

This dragon works so hard, if there is no merit in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain it.

Song Youyu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he heard that the dragon had filled the depression with water overnight. I'm afraid that Jiaolong will not end well after discovering that he has been deceived.

At that time, I just wanted to borrow some water from Jiaolong, who knew what Jiaolong was crazy about, and he actually went into battle in person and worked so hard.

Two or three hours later, when Song Youyu came to the depression, he saw an endless lake appear in front of him. This large lake is connected to the Xiaoqing River in a semicircle, just keeping the tribe's territory out of the way of the beasts.

When the herd walks through this large lake, it is equivalent to walking through the territory of the tribe. At this time, the well-fed herd will no longer be turning back to the territory of the tribe.

The carnivorous herds will also go away with the herds. Even if it is a fierce beast with a nostalgic complex, it must be only a minority. If you dare to come to the tribe's territory, you can just make more beast jerky.

Just in case, Mei Jiu still asked the entire tribe to prepare. If there are still a large number of fierce beasts entering the territory. That can only be crossed across the river. It's a small possibility, so be prepared.

After another two days, a large herd of wild cattle arrived. Song Youyu couldn't fly the clouds and fog yet, so he could only stand on the high platform at the edge of the territory and watch.

Seeing the herd of wild cattle and beasts in front of him, Song Youyu, who felt that he had more knowledge than the primitive people of the tribe, was also stunned.

Song Youyu didn't know how to describe the scene in front of him, and the dense herd of beasts seemed to be about to cover the earth.

Looking through the telescope to the end of the sky, I couldn't see where the edge of the herd was.

Looking at these herds of wild cattle and beasts with an adult body of up to one ton, Song Youyu thought to himself, fortunately, this is a flood and famine, if it is on the earth, it can eat all the plants on the earth.

The newly opened artificial lake really worked. After obtaining such a new water source, the herd no longer marched towards the Xiaoqing River. The Great Lake held back the herd.

Occasionally, there were a few small herds of brute beasts that had crossed the Great Lake, and turned back and entered the territory of the tribe. With the concerted efforts of the tribe's warriors, these herds soon became the tribe's food.

As for some particularly difficult beasts, they were also solved by Mei Jiu and Song Youyu, two monks who practiced the Qi Transformation Divine Period.

After the peak period of the beast herd in the past ten days, it took more than ten days for the main force of the beast herd to pass. In the past, it was necessary to coil over the fierce beast herd for a while, but this time it quickly followed the wild bull beast herd.

Although the area of one or two hundred kilometers on the other side of the lake has changed from the original green to a stinking black and white. The people of the tribe still danced the harvest celebration dance. A real big harvest, the harvested dried animal meat is piled up into a hill.

There is nothing to worry about the other side of the lake being eaten into white ground. The people of the tribe know that it will not be long before the land covered with the dung of the herds will be more vigorous.

When the herd passed, Song Youyu became more worried, paying attention to Xiaoqinghe's movements from time to time. When will that dragon's anger flare up?

On this day, Song Youyu was thinking nonsense in the hammock in front of the house. Suddenly, a wave of the mysterious and mysterious things that I had felt once poured into my consciousness and body.
