wild trail

Chapter 191
The pouring rain did not show signs of weakening until midnight, and mud was everywhere in the tribe, almost turning into a swamp.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still gloomy, and it was raining continuously.

Wang Lang, who didn't sleep well last night, opened his bloodshot eyes and hurriedly checked the condition of the granary. If the granary was soaked in water, the lost grain would bring a heavy disaster to the tribe.

Wang Lang rushed to the granary in a hurry, and saw that only a few places were drenched by rain, most of them were very dry, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

As long as the food is fine, other things can be made even if they are damaged.

Relieved, Wang Lang walked out of the tribe to check the condition of the river embankment.

The heavy rain last night caused the river to rise, but the water level did not reach a terrifying level. The [-]-meter-high embankment stopped the rising river.

Although there is a river spreading out upstream, it is too far away from here and has not affected the farmland.

On the other side, the grassland without the protection of the embankment was soaked by the overflowing river water like a lake.

"Lang, it's a good thing we built the dam, otherwise we would have been submerged by the flood now." Standing on the embankment, Lin Huo said with some fear.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "When the rain stops, we must re-strengthen the embankment, and if possible, use bricks."

"It's time to reinforce it. Such a big dam was almost washed away. If the river was bigger, the dam would be over." Lin Huo said.

Looking at the embankment under his feet, Wang Lang couldn't help but be extremely grateful while feeling regretful. This simple embankment built of mud and wood can hold back the flood this time, which is really a blessing among misfortunes.

There are few stones on this grassland, and it is extremely difficult to use stones for reinforcement. Even if Wang Lang wants to burn some simple cement, he doesn't know where to find raw materials.

Using bricks to build embankments is a very difficult task in terms of the current productivity of the tribe. A mile-long river embankment requires an astronomical amount of bricks.

But after the fear last night, Wang Lang felt that no matter how difficult it was, he had to build the embankment, even if it took a long time.

The light rain continued to fall, and the cold weather forced people to stop all work, curl up by the fire, and wait for the rain to clear.

Occasionally, some swollen corpses floated by on the soaring river surface. These rotting corpses seriously polluted the water source. This river cannot be used as a source of water for people in a short time.

Although Wang Lang asked people to take out all the containers in the tribe before it rained, the stored rainwater can only maintain the operation of the tribe for three or four days. If it is used as drinking water instead of cooking rice, then It can last for two more days.

As for the drinking water for the livestock, Wang Lang could only feed the livestock after boiling the river water he brought in.

Although it is not safe to do so, the resistance of wild beasts is generally much stronger than that of humans. In order not to let those livestock die of thirst, Wang Lang can only take a gamble.

Three days later, the continuous rainy day finally ended, the sky cleared up, and when the sun shone on the earth again, the impact of the heavy rain gradually receded.

The water level of the river dropped little by little, and the turbid river water gave off bursts of stench, which made people consciously stay away from this place to cool off in the hot weather.

The baking of the sun makes the air after the rain extremely humid. When the soil in the field gradually dries up, the planting of corn starts again.

The existence of the embankment protects the ten acres. The seeds planted and the rain water save people a lot of work. At least after planting, there is no need to water again for a long time.

Straw sandals step on the muddy land, and soon a thick layer of mud will be stained. When walking is inconvenient, people have to work barefoot in the fields.

The field was busy, but the construction of the fence was still proceeding in an orderly manner. It was the first time that bricks were used to build the fence, and Wang Lang could only come to supervise in person.

In order to ensure the solidity of the wall, it must be ensured that the wall cannot be tilted when it is built.

One brick and one piece of mud, without professional tools, people can only build their own homes with bare hands.

The wall was raised little by little, and people stepped on the barely solid scaffolding to build up the ugly wall.

If you look at the quality of modern architecture, such wall-building technology is not even considered as a tofu dregs project, but in this era, it represents the birth of civilization and a city.

On the vast grassland, human beings used their wisdom and dexterous hands to build this miracle of their own. The birth of the city protected the tribesmen from the threat of wild beasts in this wild world.

Under the setting sun, the people working in the fields returned to the tribe with brisk steps on their shoulders. Looking at the chattering and laughing tribesmen, Wang Lang couldn't help smiling. The promise he had made to the tribesmen had been fulfilled now. Resting at sunset, I brought this kind of life pattern to this world. Even if the human beings in this world develop rapidly, this kind of life will continue for thousands of years.

In the wild, people gathered around the fire and ate roasted bacon, enjoying the tranquility of the night. Ever since he had corn, Wang Lang hadn't lived a life that only ate barbecue like this for a long time.

The scene in front of him reminded him of the small cave where he lived alone for a year when he first came to this world. The simple walls allowed him to live in this world for a year. It's like a world away.

At night, Wang He slept peacefully on a dry straw mat. In the dark, a man and a woman mate together, striving hard for the arrival of a new life. The clansmen who have a house and a woman are more important than ever in creating the next generation. I worked a lot.

Time flies, and after a week of hard work, about [-] acres of land have been sown. Looking at the continuous fields, people can't bear to blink. Rubbing, but reluctant to turn his head away, as if everything in front of him will disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Tell me, we have planted so much corn this time, how much food will we harvest in the future!" A man said to his companion with emotion.

"I don't know, there should be many. When General Lin found us, we shouldn't run away. It would be nice to come here honestly, and it can save a lot of beatings." The man regretted Said.

"Oh, I don't know, what were we afraid of back then, if the tribe could find us earlier, those tribesmen would not have been killed by us..."

Before the man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the companion beside him: "Don't mention this matter anymore, we have nothing to do, if we don't do that, we won't be able to live anymore, let's forget about those things in the future , The tribe is very disgusted with this matter."

The two fell silent, shut up, and buried the past forever.
