Seeing Xu Chen starting to work, Gu and Ju didn't know what to do, so they simply stood aside and watched with great interest.
Xu Chen looked up and saw that the two guys were doing nothing. He thought for a moment and dropped the things in his hands, stood up, walked back and forth in the yard, and finally pointed to the location in front of the kitchen.
"Dig a hole here, the deeper the better!"
"Dig a hole, haha?" Gu Heju looked puzzled.
This nice yard is clean and flat. Digging a hole will not only damage the environment, but also make it easy to fall.
"I'll dig it when I ask you to, so much bullshit!" Xu Chen glared dissatisfied.
Since the two of them recovered from the poisoning, they feel a lot less timid recently and talk a lot of nonsense.
Originally, the three of them were of the same age, and the bird was about the same size, but he didn't expect that the two of them were a blessing in disguise. After being poisoned, they turned out to be much bigger than him, which made him feel a little ashamed of himself, and he didn't even want to stand together.
Although Gu Heju was confused, seeing that Xu Chen was a little angry, he could only hurriedly found a wooden hoe and a stone hoe with a frown, and started digging hard at the location designated by Xu Chen.
Mother Ba and a group of women were busy spinning and weaving and taking care of the housework. When they heard the noise, they all came over to ask. Xu Chen only said that he wanted to dig a well here.
Water well is a word invented by Xu Chen. Everyone already knows it, but there are wells only when there is water on the mountain. There is no spring water at the bottom of the mountain. Where can the well come from? It is so difficult to dig a hole and spring water will emerge?
Although everyone was confused, no one objected to Xu Chen's magical properties, and even many women were very excited.
Dozens of people now live in the big courtyard. Although there are many rooms and the courtyard is spacious and clean, it is more convenient to eat, sleep and work than in the mountains. But the only disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to drink and use water. Just cooking a meal, a group of people
Women carry clay pots back and forth to the river several times every day.
Although the distance is only a hundred meters away, running around like this every day not only consumes physical energy, but also consumes a lot of time.
If there really is a well in the yard, life will indeed be much more convenient in the future.
Of course, although this wish is beautiful, more people are confused.
Not objecting does not mean that they completely believe that Xu Chen can dig out the water.
You must know that all of Xu Chen's inventions up to now are innovations based on reality.
Whether it is rattan baskets and straw sandals, spinning and weaving cloth, making pottery and kilns, wooden hoes, bows and arrows, or building houses, in fact these things are easy to understand if you think about it carefully, and they are not beyond the scope of everyone's understanding.
But digging holes and building wells goes against the laws of nature.
So a group of women watched the excitement for a while and then dispersed to continue their work, leaving only a group of children standing around to watch the fun.
Even Ye didn't understand very much. He stood behind Xu Chen and pulled his sleeves: "Chen Ga, Mo Shui!"
Xu Chen stretched out his hand to rub her messy hair, then turned around and went back to work after saying "I need water."
Ye Duzui didn't understand, and at the same time he was a little sad and aggrieved.
Since moving down the mountain, she found that Xu Chen was getting busier and busier and living alone in a room. The two of them could no longer be like they were when they lived in the mountain. After dinner at night, they could sit on the rocks together to watch the stars and write diaries. Then
We held hands and went to bed together. Although we didn't sleep in the same nest, it was really sweet at that time.
Now after dinner every day, while it is still bright, Xu Chen will take a group of children, lead wolves, monkeys and ponies to the river beach to play, and will not come back until dark.
And she also has to take care of pregnant women, and at the same time she has to learn to do housework with a group of adults, spinning and weaving together, and gathering wild vegetables together.
Although the two seem to be together all day long, they spend less and less time alone.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, everyone has grown up a lot, and gradually become a little alienated.
Of course, Xu Chen didn't know that his little mother's savage cousin felt left out because he was busy, and also felt sad because of being left out.
He had never imagined that a savage could be so full of sadness.
Because in his impression, all savages are primitive animals with simple minds and steel-like emotions.
When men and women do not need emotional foundation for piling, there are still some feelings for dogs.
They are all just a bunch of semi-intelligent devices with no emotions.
Of course, it is not true that there is no emotion, but in Xu Chen's view, this kind of emotion is a kind of mutual care formed by family relationships, and it is definitely not sentimental love.
The yard became quiet again, and only the sound of Gu and Ju digging a hole could be heard.
Xu Chen kept making gestures with a pile of rattan and wattle sticks, and began to concentrate on weaving his bird-catching equipment.
The day flies by.
By evening, Gu and Ju had dug a large pit two meters in diameter and half a meter deep in front of the kitchen.
The further you dig down, the more rocks and sand you find. Except for the moist sand, there is no water at all.
When a group of men who came back from hunting and fishing saw the big hole dug, they all persuaded Xu Chen not to waste his efforts. They said that although there was no well in the yard, it would not affect their lives. There was a small river not far away, and it was actually very convenient to get water.
.
Of course, the persuasion was ineffective. Xu Chen insisted that the water could be dug out, so everyone had no choice but to let him do what he did.
Anyway, Xu Chen is now the tribe's random movement super-intelligent device, and he can arrange to do anything by himself.
What if...I mean what if, what if he succeeds!
What's more, he never seems to fail in anything he does.
Therefore, while they cannot understand it, many men are also a little excited and looking forward to it.
Before the sun went down, Xu Chen took Gu Heju to the Wild Wolf Valley to collect fish cages. The harvest was not big. The four cages together only got more than three kilograms of fish and shrimp. For this huge family, this little food
It's better than nothing, and it's all small fish and shrimps. It can only be made into a slate grill to add a little more fun.
Xu Chen did not take the recovered fish and shrimp home to eat, but kept them in fish baskets in the river.
After dinner, Xu Chen did not take the pony, monkey and wolf for a walk on the river beach as usual, but continued to make his bird-catching artifact.
The sky gradually darkened until dusk, and men and women began to pack up and go to their rooms to sleep.
Xu Chen also dropped the half-knitted items in his hands, stood up, stretched and returned to the room.
His room is at the northeast corner of the courtyard, which is the most remote location. The two rooms in the middle are empty for food storage. However, except for a small amount of bacon and dried fish, all other food has been basically eaten.
, only two cans of vine fruit wine were left.
A total of eight cans of vine fruit wine were brewed at the beginning. The monkey brought trouble to one of the cans and gave it to a group of foreign helpers to eat. Another one was used to catch the monkeys. Later, after the house was repaired, in order to thank a group of hired workers, another one was given to them.
jars, and the tribe members are also consuming them, and now there are only two jars left.
The taste of this kind of vine fruit wine is super good. Not only is it full of wine, but it is also rich in fruity aroma, sweet and refreshing. If he hadn't left it behind, a group of men in the tribe would have licked the wine jar clean.
Xu Chen took a small pottery lamp from his room, went to the fire pit to light it, and then returned to the room. Then he took out a bowl, checked that there was no one around, and quickly got into the warehouse next door.
Although it was dark inside the warehouse, he reached the wine can with ease, opened it skillfully, scooped out half a bowl of fruit wine with a pottery spoon, soup and meat, then sneakily peeked out at the door of the room, and then slipped away.
He ran back to his room.
"hey-hey!"
Smelling the strong aroma of fruit wine, Xu Chen's face was filled with pride.
No matter how cunning you are, you can't be more cunning than me.
Although he brewed and invented the wine, because it was so delicious, a group of men would naturally want to eat it every time they saw him eating it. Xu Chen was afraid that the disaster would be over in a few days, so he made an appointment with a group of men every three days.
Eat once a day, and each person can only take a small spoonful at a time.
Everyone was very satisfied with his arrangement and thought Xu Chen was very fair and just.
But he didn't know that this was just a delaying tactic, and the purpose was just to allow himself to steal more food.
Just when he scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, smiling like a chicken thief, his hand suddenly shook and he looked nervously at the door.
The straw curtain hanging on the door was opened a crack, and a shadow was seen peeking at him furtively.
