Chapter 363 Gathering

He raised his thumb, closed his left eye, and measured the location of the river and the sacrificial site.

This is the oldest method of measurement, and although it is slower, it is still fairly accurate.

After measuring the distance, I picked up the shovel and started digging.

The soil around the river is very soft and digging is not difficult.

Without much effort, a large irregular circular pit had already taken shape.

In less than one stick of incense, the pit was already more than two meters deep.

I didn't dare to extend the depth any further for fear of water seeping out, so I turned around and dug in the direction of the river.

Connect this big pit with the waterway, and use some silt and stones in the middle to temporarily seal the water.

In this way, a miniature dam was formed in the pit.

Turning around, I broke off some tree branches as thick as my wrists from the woods, and set up a wooden raft in the order of eight horizontally and nine vertically.

This kind of raft is basically used by melon farmers, mainly to guard the melon fields in summer.

It can be said to be able to protect the sky from wind and rain, but it is not considered strong.

Right now, the most critical step is still missing.

There were no trees that were too thick in the woods in the village. I searched a lot and barely found a piece of wood as thick as a thigh.

The front end of the log is placed in the center of the dam, and the other end is placed under the raft.

Everything is done, just waiting for tomorrow!

I buried the scene well and sprinkled some loose soil on it. As long as I didn't lie down on the ground and look at it, I couldn't tell any clues.

When I returned to the mountain, Xiaobai was lying in the pit, holding a telescope in one hand: "Are we here to hunt for treasure this time?"

"Ah?" I shook the dust off my body and asked suspiciously, "What treasure are you looking for?"

"I see you have been digging for a long time. Isn't it treasure hunting?"

I nodded: "Yeah, treasure hunting. Looking for Ultraman's energy bar."

Xiaobai pursed his lips: "You are so childish."

Suddenly, I turned my head sharply: "Didn't I ask you to look at the entrance of the village?"

"What the hell are you staring at?"

Xiaobai chuckled: "Don't worry, I've remembered it all in my mind."

"Are you sure you remember correctly?"

"If you remember one wrong thing, you will be buried alive!"

Although Xiaobai is a bit arrogant, he is quite reliable. If he dares to be so sure, I will naturally not doubt him.

He hastily drew a rough topographic map on the dirt: "A total of three groups of people came, totaling 49 people."

"49? So accurate?"

Xiaobai pointed at his eyes: "My father said that a good blacksmith must be able to judge the temperature of the fire by the sparks!"

"My eyes are no worse than Brother Hai's!"

"Okay, keep talking."

Xiaobai stopped laughing: "These three groups of people have all gone to this location."

He looked at the map and then at the dark blue village: "That's it, the third row, the first house."

I took the telescope and looked, it was a brick house.

The village chief's house is the only one in the entire village that has this kind of house!

"Okay, good job."

I turned around and took out a simple sleeping bag from my backpack: "Go to bed quickly, you will be busy tomorrow."

"how about you?"

I put the hat on my head and lay flat on the ground: "I'm not sleepy."

Soon, Xiaobai's snoring sounded. I said I wasn't sleepy, but I was already yawning nonstop.

There is no way, the sleeping bag takes up too much space, so I can only bring one.

Until daybreak, Xiaobai got out of the sleeping bag. We didn't go down the mountain. We ate, drank, and ate all the time on the mountain.

At around six o'clock, Chen Jiayan called.

"Yanzi and I are almost here."

I immediately became energetic and said, "Don't go into the village. Come in from the mountains. You can see stacked stones on the road. Those are the road signs I made."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Xiaobai and said one word at a time: "Get ready to work."
