Moo——!
The reason for the stumbling sound was that the iron bull appeared in the cultivated field, but the two stone cows did not regard it as their own kind. They even left the cowherd and tried to attack the iron bull. The situation got out of control for a time. The three cows not only failed to cooperate in their work , Instead, they fought with each other, so much so that even Youhou's totem was knocked away.
God was very dissatisfied with this.
In desperation, Tieniu had to be taken away, otherwise Stone Niu would not work every day and make trouble in the fields. They are two guys wearing bears' skins and have the dual habits of bears and oxen. If they are completely angered, no one can stand it.
Lambo came back after having enough time wandering outside. He felt that Yanyu had left him alone after herding the cows, and he felt a little annoyed. However, when he returned to the tribe, he found that many people were touching his horns enthusiastically. I felt "tribesman" in an instant
His concern was so touching that he burst into laughter.
Until Laozi heard two passing tribesmen say:
"The Tonghong family is really evil. The cow they gave us actually had gangrene! If the dog or lamb got it, they would wander around the clan every day, and even the clan members would get sick!" "
The lamb's hooves had not moved for a long time, and it made a deafening scream!
Gangrene! I got a star!
Lambo's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at all the tribesmen. It felt like a pathogen was wandering around. It started to run around in the tribe, and ran away without even saying hello to the tribesmen it met!
The tribe is going to be doomed, let’s all disperse!
Lambo's running around quickly caused a commotion, and he was quickly caught and calmed down. However, after being caught, Lambo felt as if he was dying. He kept twitching, as if he felt that he was not going to die soon.
The old clan leader found the two tribesmen that Lambo met at that time. After roughly understanding the problem, he slapped Lambo on the forehead.
"Wake up, the cow has been burned to death, what are you afraid of?"
After the old patriarch finished speaking, he sighed again: "But you are such a fool. Even the biggest troubles cannot fall on you."
Boom——
Yu Zai came out, carrying Yu Fou and Yu Tu.
Yuzai carried three stone pickaxes on his left hand and two stone shovels on his right hand.
Yu Fou was carrying dozens of wooden sticks.
Yuan Tu held a ruler and a bundle of strong old rattan sticks.
Time has come to the beginning of summer, and the rammed earth wall around Nanqiu has finally been completed. The central residence of this settlement has begun to take shape, and the area around Nanqiu is also being developed intensively.
Seeing how the wilderness has been transformed step by step from dense mountain forests, prosperous fields, and uninhabited wilderness to what it is now, it is impossible to say that there is no pride in my heart.
Yuzai is going to dig a well in the tribe today.
"Why do we need to dig a well? Now that the old turtle has been hunted by us, there is endless water in the swamp. Why do we need to dig another one in the tribe?"
When Yu Fou was called out by Yu Zai, she was a little confused when she heard this and quickly raised questions.
Yu Zai said: "Daze is a long way away. Where can we get water from our own doorstep? And... because of this epidemic, I feel that I can't put it off any longer."
"Among the three bags of salt I bought from the country of lords, one bag is very strange. It can stimulate the water and soil and turn the water of the East Sea into the water of the East China Sea. Therefore, I am not only preparing to dig a well, but also preparing to make a piece of salt. To build a salt field, we need to cultivate and divert water from the edge of the swamp to create a salt field. Of course, a dam must also be built.”
"As for whether the wells in the tribe are used as salt water wells or as water for daily drinking, everyone has to decide together."
This cow-burning incident has made everyone more cautious. It is really difficult to guard against the Tong Hong family's tricks of hurting others and not benefiting oneself. You said you don't want the plague cow, but he really didn't send you the plague cow, but this How to check if a sick cow suddenly becomes sick five or six days after breeding?
In this day and age, it's impossible to find out.
And what Yu Zai said is indeed reasonable. Although Yanzhize is "close" to Nanqiu, this proximity refers to macro-geography. It would take nearly half a day for people to walk there, and it is indeed not easy to fetch water back and forth. It's too convenient.
What's more, compared with well water, marsh water is much turbid. Well water is usually mountain spring water or groundwater. As for the benefits...for example, if the marsh water smells of feces, it will be there even if it is boiled. Well water is sweet, even when boiled. Which one do you want to drink?
With water wells, there will be no need for a water fetching team in the future. It can free up some people to join in logging, or clearing up wasteland, and expanding the soil. It can also strengthen the farming team during the busy farming period. During the peak period when the animal cubs mature, Can be added to the hunting party.
Yuanzai saw Laozi, and Laozi seemed to be very interested in the newly appeared Tieniu. He leaned on others and bleated, but Tieniu didn't seem to want to talk to it at all. It might also be that Tieniu didn't know how to talk to anyone other than Gugu. due to interactions between people.
The lamb started to hit it with the horns, and someone next to him was scared to death. He grabbed the lamb's buttocks and pulled him back.
And Laozi felt that this newcomer was really bad-tempered.
(I am a totem, you know. Everyone here respects me. Who do you think you dare to ignore me?)
Lamb screamed dissatisfied.
The tribe was very busy, and Yu Zai led others to start searching nearby. In fact, they didn’t have to look very far, because looking for suitable locations for digging wells in the south, not too many, was much more convenient than in the north.
This is thanks to the large number of water veins in the south in ancient times.
Who invented the well? Some books indicate that it is Boyi, which is a bit doubtful, unless the "Song of Attacking the Soil" that Yao heard was sung by a time traveler, or Boyi lived over a hundred years. After all, from the early period of Yao to the late period of Dayu, this The time span is close to more than a hundred years...but this is unlikely.
Therefore, most people attribute the source of the well to the two emperors of Yan and Huang. Boyi should have modified the method of digging the wellhead, that is, he discovered the underground water veins that can be used. In places where water cannot be seen, he can Get out of the water.
This is estimated to be about the same, and the earliest person to make wells is actually more likely to be Huangdi, because one or two of the Huangdi's residential areas are relatively short of water, and as we all know, Huangdi is an expert in ancient black technology. He is the originator who likes to make crooked technology trees, and any technology tree he makes crookedly cannot be passed down.
Although Huangdi was called "a man with a butt of arrows" by later generations, which meant that no matter what happened, as long as it was good and could not be found, anyone could throw it at his head, but it is possible that he did this well digging. .
Ruan Zai used the brass ax to cut into square shapes in the area he found, and started working with Ruan Fou and the others.
First, the size of the wellhead must be determined. After finding an area with lush vegetation, Yuzai started to do things.
This kind of geological exploration is simply trivial to Sun Zai.
Moreover, what Yu Zaixian learned from the old wizard of the Lu family, the "Water-seeking Technique" unique in mountains and seas, coupled with the "Kandi-Searching Technique" of Huangkanshan of the Jinghua Family, combined. , finding a suitable place for digging a well is easy.
The earth and rocks were moved out, and the three people worked hard. This was a primitive well system, and it would definitely need to be refined later. After they were busy for most of the day, the sun began to set towards the west.
The golden sun turned into a red dusk, and the mountains and forests had become a little dark. Near the Nanqiu, the firelight had slowly risen to deal with the darkness.
"I've started well, I won't miss it, right?"
Yu Zai muttered, and the stone pickaxe clicked on the lower part, and Yu Fou shouted from above: "Witch! The sun has gone down, go home!"
"One more time, just one more time!"
Yu Zai felt that this shabby place did not give him much face. This was not a game of krypton gold drawing cards. What does it mean to dig a well and not produce water?
Boom!
Ruzai lifted the stone pickaxe and gave it a final push.
Under his feet, a thin mountain spring flowed out and quickly turned into a puddle of mud.
