Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 65 0065 Water Source
Less than a cup of tea later, Cheng Zongyang came to a low bush.

The surrounding trees are not very tall, there are many vines, and there is also a bamboo forest.

From a distance, Cheng Zongyang saw the gray wolves lying on a flat slope, doing something with their heads down, while the leader wolf was keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings.

"Are you drinking water?" Cheng Zongyang was a little excited.

Along the way, he encountered countless snakes, insects, rats and ants. If it weren't for his protective suit, he would have been bitten by several camouflaged poisonous snakes or spiders and centipedes that fell from the trees and poisoned.

But maybe I was lucky and didn't encounter any ferocious animals like leopards and tigers.

Fortunately, we finally saw a place that looked like a water source.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Zongyang quickly arrived at his destination after seeing the gray wolves leave.

As a result, when he saw this place, his eyes revealed an expression of great excitement.

There was a long stream there, about two meters wide, extending in another direction.

The water is not fast, but it is abundant and clear.

There are still many animal footprints left by the river below, indicating that this is a place where many nearby creatures use water.

Cheng Zongyang immediately started checking the area nearby.

Now that he has found his target, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Fortunately, the terrain here is relatively flat, and there is a slope below, so he has been almost always going up the mountain.

But fortunately, everything was successful.

"Now that we've found the water source, let's find a way to get it down the mountain."

Cheng Zongyang looked around and finally fixed his sights on the bamboo forest.

He took out an axe from the wilderness, cut down some weeds and trees that were blocking the way, and came to the bamboo forest.

Looking at the lush bamboo swaying in the wind, I feel very satisfied.

Both the thickness and length met his requirements.

He first cut down a bamboo as thick as a baby's thigh, then cut down a bamboo as thick as an arm, and dragged them back to the stream together.

Cheng Zongyang began to check the location and finally found a slightly curved location that belonged to the "convex bank" terrain.

"This should be fine as a water outlet. It not only provides water potential but also prevents dead leaves and mud from clogging the water flow direction."

The next step was the most time-consuming. He used a knife to cut off the branches of the thin bamboo, and then cut off the branches of the big bamboo.

Finally, use a thin bamboo to poke into the inside of the big bamboo to open up all the bamboo nodes inside.

Finally, a section of this thick-at-the-bottom-and-thin-at-the-top bamboo was cut off, leaving a thick section as the first water outlet.

Putting it aside, Cheng Zongyang took out the hoe again and started digging the ditch.

He had already chosen the location below, and as long as there was a steep slope, he could send the water down the mountain.

Although he knew the road down would be long, he had to do it for survival over there.

After digging a trench about thirty to forty centimeters deep, Cheng Zongyang entered the wilderness and took out a small bamboo basket that he had bought to carry fruit.

He buried the bamboo tube in the ditch, and then buried the bamboo basket under the river, then dug up the last mud barrier, and as the water flowed through the outlet, Cheng Zongyang inserted the bamboo head into the bamboo frame very neatly. He then tied the bamboo basket and the bamboo head with rattan and fixed them, and then pressed them into the water.

Finally, compact the soil on both sides of the bamboo head to ensure that water will not flow out from the gaps on both sides.

Now, the simple protection of the water outlet has been completed.

This ensures that water can flow out while preventing leaves, small organisms, and other things from entering the pipe. In addition, the location of the pipe in the river, neither rising nor falling, also reduces the entry of silt and floating objects.

As the water rushed into the bamboo tube and out from the other end, Cheng Zongyang was very happy.

Next, he dug a trench and buried the bamboos in it, so that animals would not be damaged. He continued to repeat this boring, time-consuming and laborious process, putting the bamboos one by one, all the way down the mountain.

In order to reduce the number of turns, Cheng Zongyang had to go back and explore the route, and then change the route to ensure that the bamboo tube can shorten the distance down the mountain and extend to the bottom of the mountain. It is also convenient to replace the bamboo tube in the future if there is a problem.

In this way, he rushed from morning until about 3 p.m. before returning to the base.

"Snapped!"

As Cheng Zongyang used a hoe to drive the last five-meter-long bamboo tube into the end of another bamboo tube to form a connection, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As he watched the clear, fast-flowing river water gushing out of the pipe into the previously dug pit, he nodded with satisfaction.

There’s water!
Even though he had great physical strength and endurance, he couldn't withstand the work that happened all day long.

He was also glad that he had protective clothing, otherwise he would have been bitten by countless poisonous creatures.

He didn't bother to rest and went straight into the wilderness. In the market hut, he sat on a bench and said, "Rest!"

The next second, a box popped up in front of him:
[Rest can immediately restore physical strength and mental state. You can rest three times a day. The first time requires 5 points, the second time is 10 points, and the third time is 20 points. Do you want to take the first rest today? ]

【whether】

-

"Yes!"

Cheng Zongyang didn't have time to recover and agreed immediately.

The next moment, he saw an inexplicable light enveloping him.

After about three seconds, the moment the light disappeared, Cheng Zongyang felt that his tired body and drowsy brain seemed to have disappeared after a deep sleep.

A refreshed feeling fills my whole body.

“This feeling is really comfortable!”

Cheng Zongyang smiled. With this "endurance cheat", he really wasn't worried about getting tired.

Without staying long, I went back outside.

Seeing that the puddle was already half full of water, Cheng Zongyang didn't waste any more time and began looking for an easier way to go.

The ones coming later will be the elderly and children, so we have to find a place that is easy to enter and exit, which will also make it convenient to carry things in and out in the future.

By the time he returned to the foot of the outer mountain, it was almost dark.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, his backpack was already filled with more than 20 dead snakes and the carcass of a sika deer that he had processed - six legs and a deer head. The other parts that had been bitten by wolves were thrown away.

As for the dead snakes, they were all killed by him when he was installing the bamboo tubes.

He had no idea how many times his feet and hands had been bitten by these snakes that suddenly jumped out from some corner.

If it weren't for the protection of protective boots and gloves, his points would probably not be enough for treatment.

But later it became his family's dinner tonight.

When he returned home, before he knocked on the door, he heard the laughter and noise of children coming from the yard.

"Hahaha, this hand doesn't have it. Third brother, you lose again. You owe me four candies..."

"Impossible, what I just saw was clearly this hand..."

"Second brother, you are sharpening the wood knife again! Dad told you to read more books, and my cousin also said that reading can make people wise, but your brain is not working well...ah, eldest brother, second brother is going to beat me again..."

"That's right, my eldest brother told me that. He said Snow White burned too much firewood and became blackened, and then she turned into Cinderella, so he didn't let me burn firewood..."
