In April, the rain suddenly increased, and like last year, there would be a terrifying thunderstorm almost every day.
Mountain streams roared, and the water in big and small rivers surged.
The temperature quickly climbed to more than 30 degrees, and in addition to heavy rains, there were also scorching sun exposure. In this humid and hot climate, all plants entered the craziest growth period of the year like a shot of chicken blood.
Oats have begun to ear, beans have begun to form pods, and various wild fruits and melons in the mountains and river valleys have grown up as if they have been given a growth agent.
A circle of wild fruit trees planted in the yard has obviously grown much taller than last year, and is covered with green fruits. After being ravaged by violent storms and exposed to the scorching sun, it is still growing tenaciously and stubbornly.
Although the taste is as sour and unpleasant as ever, it has been spoiled by a group of children before it is ripe, and there is basically no hope of maturity.
The summer beds on both sides of the entrance passage have been put out again, and a large group of women, children, old and young people sit on them to play and work every day.
The lounge chair that had been idle for more than half a year was moved out again and placed in the passage.
Plants such as mugwort, polygonum and mint are dried everywhere on wooden frames and open spaces in the yard, mainly used to fumigate and kill mosquitoes.
Mosquito nets were gradually hung in the rooms of women and children.
One of the spare rooms was used as a classroom, and every day you could hear the cheerful sounds of children reading, literacy, and playing willow flutes and singing children's songs.
The main teacher in class now is Ye. She can already recognize almost all the characters created by Xu Chen. She can also add and subtract more than four digits and multiply and divide two digits. These simple characters and mathematical knowledge are already considered middle-class among human beings.
The most powerful brain in the entire Ba tribe and even the Alliance tribe, second only to Xu Chen.
Ever since Xu Chen resolved the grievances of the wild mother in the cave last Mother's Day, Ye now simply obeys Xu Chen's words, and seems to be a little addicted to this sneaky alternative way of mating and cheating, and has to do it every now and then.
, Xu Chenbian could only accept it with joy and joy.
The little witch is still immersed in the meditation of searching for divine revelation every day and cannot extricate herself.
Following Xu Chen's guidance, she worked hard to observe natural changes to find inspiration. She attended classes with Ye and the children every day, learning words and calculations to improve the cultural quality of the witchcraft, and occasionally taught the children to sing some simple witchcraft songs.
And Ye and the little witch finally got along well with each other after untying the knot in their hearts. They went in and out together all day long and were as close as a pair of sisters.
If a woman is disobedient, just give her a beating.
If one meal is not enough, then two meals.
He didn't quite understand it before when he didn't have a woman, but now he is very understanding.
As long as he sees Ye who seems unhappy and has a little temper, he will pull him to a corner where there is no one and spank him a few times, and then she will start to take off his pants with a charming look, and everyone will be happy.
Although the weather in April is hot, it's not so hot that I can't go out all day.
Because the population and scale of the Ba tribe are getting larger and larger, the affairs of the tribe are becoming more and more complicated. Mu Ba has no experience in managing such a large tribe. Xu Chen has to force himself to do more things. Therefore, as long as there is no explosive rain, he
Spending most of the time wandering back and forth outside.
Of course, the more reason is that he doesn't want to stay at home.
In the past, he didn't understand why married men liked to run away, but now he somewhat understands.
No matter how strong a cow is, it cannot endure being milked three times a day.
Ever since she learned the new way of mating guided by the gods, her little female savage cousin has a very high sexual interest. Whenever she sees him, her eyes are always full of eagerness to try. Under the control of this desire, it is easy to be unhappy.
I just want to be spanked by Xu Chen.
It doesn't matter if it lasts a day or two, but being so tough every day is unbearable, so Xu Chen can only try his best to be busy outside and don't go home until evening every day.
Of course, he was not wandering without purpose. He trained the army, practiced horseback riding and archery, observed the growth of crops, inspected and guided ditch projects, arranged poultry breeding, and led a group of children to catch fish and throw shrimps into the newly dug pond.
After all, as long as you want to do something, there will be endless things to do every day.
If he doesn't want to do things, all these things can have nothing to do with him.
At the end of April, the water of the small river had overflowed into the valley, and the river beach was gone. It was only a few dozen meters away from the compound, and even closer to several newly reclaimed farmland. According to this trend, in May, when the rain is the most abundant and hot, this time
Several pieces of farmland will definitely be soaked by water.
In order to preserve these pieces of farmland, Xu Chen issued a fatal order requiring that the entire ditch project be completed before mid-May, in an effort to minimize the damage to farmland from flooding.
In order to fulfill Xu Chen's order, in addition to more than forty captives of the Gonghuo tribe, all men and women from the tribe also joined the engineering team. After working hard for about ten days under the scorching sun and heavy rain, the entire ditch was finally completed.
All the excavated soil and stones were transported to the low-lying areas of the farmland, and a dike several hundred meters long was built along the ditch. It was about two feet high and one meter wide, stretching between two undulating mounds. It looked majestic.
.
For the safety of the embankment, Xu Chen also had people dig a large amount of turf to plant on the surface, and also dug many thorn trees and planted them outside the embankment.
With this dike in place, although there were more heavy rains in May and the river water surged several feet, the river water was perfectly blocked from the farmland without any impact or loss.
Naturally, everyone in the tribe was full of praise for Xu Chen's idea of a dam. Looking at the river gradually approaching the compound, Mother Ba even hoped to build a dam in front of the compound to protect the wells and ditches.
Because according to Mu Ba, the rain in the past two years has been very ordinary. She remembers that for several years, the entire valley was flooded by river water, and the slopes near the foot of the mountain were flooded, making it impossible to go down the mountain at all.
Of course, that kind of terrifying flood usually comes and goes quickly, unless it rains continuously for days and causes a flash flood.
Although this kind of thing has to be guarded against, it can only be done slowly in the future.
No one can guarantee how severe a natural disaster will be.
Just like a world-destroying flood that prehistoric civilizations on earth experienced together, almost the entire earth was invaded by the flood. Under such a world-destroying natural disaster, only those who are lucky enough and live at a high enough altitude can survive
.
Although there are no written historical records to prove the horror of the flood, according to historians' research and speculation, nearly 80% of the human race and species on the earth were extinct in the thousands of years after the flood, almost completely destroying the entire human civilization and the earth.
Ecosphere.
Therefore, the flood disaster we are facing is really not worth mentioning.
The Ba people are basically unable to resist the kind of flood described by Mu Ba on their own. Even if they build another embankment to surround the entire compound, it will be useless.
If you have this time and energy, you might as well just escape into a cave for safety and wait until the flood subsides before going back down the mountain to rebuild your house.
Therefore, Mu Ba’s worries are understandable, but it is impossible to be foolproof. In Xu Chen’s opinion, at most the open space within 30 meters in front of the compound, including the well, should be raised by two or three feet to build a courtyard dam to ensure that the
Now, no matter how big the flood is, it won't reach the courtyard.
After the ditches and farmland embankments were completed, the entire tribe began to stop.
The time has also entered the hottest and humid month of May and mid-summer. Various fruits have entered the crazy ripening season. Most wild beasts have hidden in the jungle to escape the summer heat. Mosquitoes have begun to breed in large numbers. Groups of waterbirds and a large number of chicks are playing and looking for food on the river beach.
Food is being eaten, and crops are starting to fill in and become solid.
At the unanimous request of all the men, Xu Chen led a large group of troops to the river beach outside the valley, picked a large number of various berries and wild fruits that were rich in sugar, and brewed dozens of jars of mixed fruit wine.
A year's plan begins in spring, and a year's reality begins in summer.
Yuan Henry Zhen, spring is born, summer is long, autumn is harvested, and winter is stored.
The sun and moon alternate, and the four seasons cycle.
All things are constantly alternating in this cycle of time, from birth to death, from prosperity to decline.
Humanity right now is in its primitive stage, and it is a difficult time for it to grow stronger.
The small Ba people, driven by Xu Chen, have entered a stage of vigorous growth. With creativity and hard work, they have begun to challenge nature and have taken the first small step to conquer nature.
But walking is very tiring.
Therefore, as the weather got hotter and hotter, Xu Chen's inertia gradually grew, and he began to lie on the recliner every day to enjoy the coolness, with mosquito coils in front and behind, beasts on the left and right, humming a tune, and began his aestivation time just like last year.
As for the various teases and temptations from his little savage cousin, he could only close his eyes and pretend to be dead.
It's so hot that you'll sweat all over even if you move. Without a large amount of salt supplement, whether it's sweating or other fluids, it's a huge loss and a devastation to life.
In this kind of weather, the only way to survive longer is by sleeping and not moving.
Xu Chen never thought that he would die so early.
Therefore, he decided to keep his integrity as much as possible. Although he had broken his vow of being single, he could still be a great man from the beginning to the end.
Well, he felt that he could do it. The primitive female savages with dark and rough skin were not his cup of tea, nor did they suit his aesthetic taste.
