Chapter 981 Harvesting Millet
Xiao Se, who couldn't sleep, came to the open space. The patrolling tribesmen saw her and greeted her.

At the same time, I was very moved in my heart.

Xiao Se was so good that he still came out in the middle of his sleep to check on the safety of the Qinglong tribe.

Such a good Arthur, they should protect her even more.

Xiao Se raised his head and looked at the stars. The summer weather, even in the middle of the night, was uncomfortably hot.

Many tribesmen sleep directly on the green grass without even a straw mat.

The old man and the children were put on straw mats.

It's really hot in this weather. It's better to sleep outside than to sleep in the house.

It's not too late to go back to the house until almost dawn.

The corner of Xiao Se's mouth raised slightly. Why don't she stay for two more days and teach Mushi how to be a big fan?

With this in mind, Xiao Se walked around the tribe for a few times before returning to the house. She had to keep her spirits up as she would have something to do tomorrow.

When they woke up again, the three little ones had woken up long ago and were happy somewhere.

Xiao Se packed himself up and looked at the position of the sun in the sky. It should be around 06:30 at this time.

The sun was as usual, obediently staying where it should be, and the temperature was the same as before. It was still hot, but not so hot that it would melt the stones.

Well, it’s another day with scorching sun and unbearable heat.

When the tribesmen saw Xiao Se, they all greeted her. Ah Cha hurried over and shouted happily: "Arthur!"

Xiao Se walked towards her with a smile on his face: "Have you eaten?"

"Eat." Ah Cha nodded happily, "Are you hungry?"

Xiao Se twisted his neck and waved his hands: "I won't eat it yet. I'll go for a few runs and then eat it."

"I'll accompany you!" Arthur was going to the Abyss Tribe soon, so she naturally spent a lot of time with Arthur.

Xiao Se responded, took Ah Cha for a run, practiced archery, and went to eat food at eight o'clock.

Instead of rice, I had winter melon and barbecued meat in the morning.

Hey, after eating porridge and dry rice for a few days, Xiao Se suddenly ate this. Xiao Se said that he might have been raised too much and actually disliked winter melon and barbecue.

After eating, Xiao Se went to Ishiro: "Uncle Ishiro, is the sickle I asked you to make yesterday ready?"

Ishiro took out the curved sickle and handed it to her: "Is that so?"

He just didn't understand what this curved knife like a willow leaf could be used for. Let alone killing wild animals, it couldn't even cut meat.

Xiao Se looked at the sickle that was no different from his own image, and said happily: "This is it."

Ishiro smiled happily: "That's fine."

Hey, as long as Arthur liked it, he would hit any curled knife, let alone a curved one.

Xiao Se raised his sickle: "Then you can continue to fight. I will take away as much as I can fight in the afternoon."

Shidai agreed and took Atie and several other tribesmen to quickly process the sickle.

Xiao Se took the sickle and took Ah Cha to Cup Mountain: "Let's go see the millet. It's almost ready to be harvested at this time."

The ears were tasseled last time, and after more than a month, it is time to mature.

The ears of millet in Cup Mountain have bent the poles and are falling heavily.

The transition from green to yellow is the time to harvest.

Xiao Se looked at the millet and frowned: "You can take it."

Ah Cha received Arthur's approval, and he was very happy: "Really? That's great, what should we do?"

Xiao Se looked at the two to three hundred grains of millet and frowned slightly. The millet collected here only weighed a few kilograms, so there was no need to make tools and could be done by hand.When there is rice, the millet will not be eaten, but all will be saved for seeding, and will be planted next year.

Xiao Se picked up the sickle and said to Ah Cha: "If you don't have a sickle, just use a big black knife. I'll teach you, come on."

Ah Cha took the big black knife and started harvesting millet like Xiao Se.

Two to three hundred millet grains were cut quickly.

Xiao Se took the millet aside and put it in a wooden basin. He took the millet off while talking to Ah Cha.

The tribesmen who guard Cup Mountain also came to help.

Soon, the millet came out.

Xiao Se took a look and found that it was only about three kilograms.

It’s really too little, but luckily there is rice. Otherwise, if you want to eat rice, you don’t know how many years and months it will take.

After doing everything, the two of them inspected the tribe and then went to look for herbs. It was always good to be prepared.

When I came back, another reservoir was ready and was storing water.

Looking at the trickling water, Xiao Se was in a daze. The drought was coming. He really needed to be more prepared.

Now in August, the snowy days will come from mid-October to early November. Calculating, the preparations they have made during this period should be enough for them.

As long as you store good water and good food, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Se found Mushi and drew him a model of a large fan: "If you step on this place with your feet, you can make the wood spin and drive the wind."

"This can directly use water to drive the fan." Xiao Se said, "Leak a hole in the reservoir, and the water will flow to the water truck to drive the fan to generate wind."

"The water flowing down flows into the lower reservoir, and then the water is pumped by siphon from the lower reservoir into this reservoir for recycling."

After hearing this, Mushi was extremely happy. He listened carefully to Xiao Se's words and must make this big fan as soon as possible: "When will you go back?"

"About five o'clock, the sun is not so bright at that time." Xiao Se said.

The two of them, together with their apprentices, first made a large fan for their feet.

This is relatively simple. When eating lunch, the big three-blade fan is ready.

Xiao Se smiled. After all, she had made a fan with Ye Feng once. Now that she was making it again, she got started quickly. She taught the genius carpenter Shi Mushi how to make it even faster.

Although it is said to be a big fan, it is actually not very big. It is only 1.5 meters high. There is an axle-like pedal behind the fan. When you step on it, you are riding a bicycle.

The little apprentice stepped on the pedal, and the big fan turned, and the wind came. It blew on people. Although it was not cool, it was very comfortable.

The other little apprentices, watching this, were not rushing to get some air, but rushing to step on the pedal.

Mushi blew the wind, looked at the pedal, and suddenly said: "This kind of rotating pedal can do many things."

Xiao Se was startled, and then heard Mushi say: "If this pedal is placed on a round wheel, do you think the cart will run by itself?"

This, this, this... isn't this the prototype of a bicycle?

I didn't even think about doing it, but you actually thought about how long this head is.

Sure enough, they are all smart, otherwise the 5000-year-old Chinese culture would not have been recorded.

Xiao Se sincerely admired Mushi: "You can try it. We can do this first."

She directly drew a picture of a bicycle for Mush: "The front and rear round wheels, with a rotating shaft in the middle. When people sit on it and step on it, the wheels will roll forward."

Mushi was ecstatic: "Yes, yes, your job is better than I thought. Okay, let's make the water wheel and the big fan now, and then we can do this when we have more time."

No matter what Xiao Se teaches, it is important and must be done.
