Primitives are stunned

Chapter 106 The Rain Before the Flood

Although the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, Wang Hao was still shivering from the rain when he rushed out of the hut.

Returning to the hut, Wang Hao put on a bamboo hat made of thatch, and went out again.

I wanted to call Wang Hu to see the foundation together, but hearing the intense panting coming from his hut, Wang Hao rolled his eyes and went out alone.

The leg injury is still not healed. I struggled all night last night, and now I am here again early in the morning. I am in good spirits.

Everyone worked till midnight last night, and now most of them haven't woken up yet. Only Wang Long and a few cooks were yawning and lighting a fire under the dining shed to cook.

He greeted Wang Long, and with the help of the night watchmen, Wang Hao opened the gate of the village.The giant outside the village was sleeping soundly, not caring that he was soaking in the muddy rain at all.

The rain was not heavy, and it should have started to fall when the sky was about to dawn. The tamped lime surface had initially condensed, and Wang Hao checked around and found that there was no water seepage.

It's just that there are a few low-lying places that have begun to accumulate water.

After writing down these places, Wang Hao decided to bring someone to dig some drainage ditches when everyone got up later.

People in the Great Wilderness are far more sensitive to food than Wang Hao imagined.Even if it is raining, it cannot wash away the strong meaty aroma.

The food was just cooked, and everyone got up rubbing their sleepy eyes.

Maoqiu has been waiting in the dining shed for a long time with its small pottery bowl in its arms.Since the last time he went to bed, Wang Hao stuffed the fleshy animal under his head as a pillow for a whole night in his sleep, and he was unwilling to sleep with Wang Hao.For this reason, Wang Hao specially built a small hut for it in the village.

Inside the hut belonging to the furball, it is stuffed with beautiful feathers and smooth small stones.

When they were eating, Wang Hao and the others couldn't help but make fun of Wang Hu who was limping and yawning with big dark circles under his eyes.

Wang Hu, who got married two years later than his peers, was really hungry and thirsty.

After breakfast, Wang Hao asked Wang Hu to take out some wild ginger pieces from the hut, and after cooking, everyone drank a bowl. Ginger soup can drive away cold and prevent colds.

Then he ordered Wang Zhu to take some people to the foundation to dig drainage ditches.

And he himself led people to repair those leaky thatched huts.

The construction of thatched huts is very convenient. Skilled clansmen can build several huts in a day without the help of others.

Although living in a hut is very comfortable when the weather is sunny, when it rains, a lot of problems arise.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the problem of water leakage. Out of the ten thatched huts, at least five have water leakage.Only by re-covering those weak places that would leak with a thick layer of thatch can the rain be stopped.

If it is a brick house, this situation will not be encountered.

After inspecting the brick house where the eight-ox crossbow was stored, Wang Hao found that there were also some water leaks.Although it has the triple protection of wood, bark and thatch, after all, Wang Hao is not a professional house builder, and some places are still not done well.

If he could follow the wild boar king's traces and find the asphalt, Wang Hao believed that the houses in the future would not have to worry about water leaks.

Summer floods last for a relatively long time, and sometimes it can last for one or two months with continuous rain.But it doesn't mean that it will rain every day during these two months, it's just that the rain is more abundant during this period.

After lunch, Wang Hao and the others finished repairing all the leaky thatched huts, and the first rain after Xia Xun arrived finally stopped.

Although the rain was not heavy this time, the water level of the big river behind the village still rose a bit.The inexperienced Wangcun people didn't know to drag the bamboo rafts on the beach back in advance. When Wang Hao and the others went to check, they found that two of the bamboo rafts had been washed away.

Rainwater is not all trouble, at least there are some benefits.

After laying the foundation, water needs to be applied to prevent the limestone from cracking. This rain has saved the clansman a lot of work.In the absence of water pipes, manpower is the only way to apply water. The plant is so far away from the river, so water application will be a tiring task.

Moreover, after the rain, Wang Hao was surprised to find clusters of white mushrooms protruding out of the wooden walls around the village. After identification, these were edible fresh mushrooms.

Weaker women and children carried bamboo baskets to pick these fresh delicacies, while the stronger ones took bamboo baskets to pick sweet fruits in the Black Forest.

Usually, picking sweet fruit is a very dangerous thing.Because not only do you have to guard against the beasts lurking in the dense forest, but also pay attention to the poisonous snakes that are integrated with the environment at the feet of the trees.

However, the woods near the village were ravaged by giants one after another, and all animals larger than grass rabbits were scared away.

As for those poisonous insects and snakes, ten tribesmen in black armor and holding iron swords opened the way ahead, so there was nothing to fear.

The bright red sweet fruit, washed by the rain, looks extremely delicate and beautiful.The lower ones can be reached by the tribesmen by pulling the branches.But the higher the point, the more troublesome.

Usually, the high places require the able-bodied people to climb up the branches to pick them. Every year, some people step on the tree or are bitten by the poisonous snakes lurking on the branches.

But this year, Wang Hao tied a long bamboo pole under the sickle, and then weaved some pocket-shaped bags with tender grass, and tied them to the bamboo pole.

This time, the clansmen don’t need to go up the tree themselves, they only need to use a sickle to cut off the sweet fruit on the top of the tree, and another person will naturally follow up with a straw bag.

This not only greatly speeds up the progress of picking sweet fruit, but also makes the picking of sweet fruit safer.

Every fruit tree is very precious in the wilderness, and no one will harm these trees that can provide food.Even the giant deliberately avoided those fruit trees when pulling up the trees.

In a black forest near the village, there are only a dozen or so fruit trees sparsely left.

The rest of the trees were piled up in the open space near the brick kiln under the work of the giant tree puller.

Half of the people were set aside to deal with the trees.Straight timber like pine trees are carefully cut off, leaving logs piled up together. This kind of wood can be used in the future whether it is to build a house or make other things.

And those ugly, crooked ones were sawed into sections, and when they were slightly dried, they would be burned into charcoal for later burning of bricks and lime.

Although Qian Village has a large number of coal mines, due to the long distance, before there is no new transportation method, the exchanged coal can only be used to refine the more important iron ore and copper ore.

There are also some people who are building houses under the leadership of Wangcun clansmen who have worked as bricklayers once.In fact, building this kind of simple brick house is really a very simple matter.Even a novice can build a solid house as long as the horizontal and vertical things are taken care of.

Gu Mu, who is very rigorous in his work, was specially selected as the supervisor. Wang Hao believes that the factory building will be able to be built in a square shape.

The only thing that worries Wang Hao is that the foundation was just laid last night. Will the house built in this way affect the service life in the future.

However, after all, let’s talk about the future. According to Wang Long’s observation, if the wind direction remains the same, the white cloud in the sky will turn into a dark cloud in at most two days. At that time, the second game after the summer flood The rain will definitely come, and the next time, it will definitely not only last for half a day like today's pre-flood rain.
