"Yes!" Muba stood up, "With the wall, they can't easily break into the tribe, but we don't have enough manpower, and the two northwest walls have taken away some of the manpower."
Jiang Li nodded, "Muba is right. After two battles, we have clearly seen that there is a cliff to the east and they cannot enter. The height of the two walls to the northwest is not high enough. Every time, we have to disperse our manpower for defense."
"We must add two more heights to the northwest wall on the original basis within the next few days to prevent them from entering the tribe."
"After the wall is raised, we only need to concentrate our manpower on the southern wall to prevent a large number of their warriors from attacking the tribe. We live in the tribe and have no shortage of food and weapons. As long as we defeat their attacks a few times, it will only take time to defeat them.
question."
Yao Hu agreed: "What Jiang Li said is right, let's just do what he said. Fortunately, the stones and oyster ash are all ready-made, so everyone can build it one layer at a time, and it will take at most three days to build it."
"
"Ah Chong, Ah Lin, please take people to the open space in the north first, and move all the stones piled there to the north wall. Let's start now."
"It's the leader." The two agreed in unison and took the old uncle away.
Yao Hu looked at Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, do you have anything else to say?"
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "The effects of those poison-soaked weapons have weakened. I will make new weapons to deal with them."
Mufeng looked at her curiously, "Xiaoqing, what solution did you come up with?"
"I plan to use those gray stones piled up in the room next to the refining room to deal with them." Yao Xiaoqing said.
Mu Feng thought he understood, "You want to hit them with that! If you had the skills to move rocks, the arrow would have been shot out long ago."
"Graystone?" Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, "Is the green wizard talking about limestone?"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes! I plan to take people to put lime into paper bags to use against the great witch warriors."
Yao Hu asked curiously: "Xiao Qing, are those dusty stones in the room next to the refining house limestone? Does that thing have any special function?"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes! Father, everyone is going to the north wall. Let's go to the foot of the mountain and I will demonstrate it to everyone, and you will understand."
"Okay! Let's go take a look first." Yao Hu took the lead and walked out.
A group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain. Yao Xiaoqing put a piece of fired limestone into a bucket and scooped two ladles of water into it.
Everyone saw the gray stone in the stone bucket, and it started bubbling. After looking at it for a long time, they still didn't understand what it did.
Mu Feng and the others shook their heads, "Xiao Qing, we didn't understand!"
Yao Xiaoqing said: "I am going to grind the fired quicklime into powder and put it into paper bags. Let the women hold the gray bags and smash them into the eyes of the enemy. If the lime powder enters the eyes, the eyes will not be able to see. He will be unable to see anything.
How can you fight with us?"
The bull smiled and said: "Okay, in the time it takes for them to blink, we can shoot a few arrows."
Jiang Li smiled and said: "Brother Xiongniu, you haven't understood the power of lime powder yet."
"What's so great about it?" Mu Feng looked at him puzzledly, "If there is sand in your eyes, rub it a few times and wash it with water and it will be fine!"
Jiang Li pointed to the limestone in the barrel, "You have also seen that quicklime will heat up when it touches water, and lime powder will burn the eyes when it enters the eyes. The most serious thing is that it cannot be washed with water, because the lime is stained with water.
It’s like boiling water has been poured into your eyes, you think it’s amazing or not!”
What does it feel like to have boiling water in your eyes? It hurts for everyone just thinking about it.
Everyone understood and gave Yao Xiaoqing a thumbs up, "Xiaoqing, you are so awesome."
"We have few people, so we can only think of ways to defeat more with less." Yao Xiaoqing shrugged, "They can't afford to have bad intentions to attack us, and we can't think of ways to deal with them!"
"Yes, they bully us every time because of their large number of people. In the past, buying medicine from a great witch would cost a lot of food and animal skins." Dayang said bitterly.
Yao Husong waved his hand quickly, "Jiang Li and Xiao Qing have already thought of a way to deal with them. What everyone has to do is to work harder and raise the wall before the big witch tribe comes."
"Yes!" A group of men walked boldly towards the outside of the tribe.
Yao Xiaoqing said to Douzi: "Go to the warehouse to get a few pairs of gloves, and then take a pile of paper out and give it to Shan Amu, and ask her to take someone to cut it into the size of toilet paper."
"Yes, Qingwu." Douzi hurried away.
Yao Xiaoqing took Ayu and others, loaded the limestone into the kiln, and lit the fire.
Crush the fired limestone with a stone mortar, then wear gloves, grind it into powder with a wooden stick, and put it into a basket.
Yaohu led his people out of the tribe and saw more than a dozen bonfires lit outside. Ah Chong led about ten people to pick out the oyster ashes from the hut and pile them under the wall.
Alin led a dozen people to carry stones and gravel this way.
"Chief, we should have enough stones and oyster ash. We have to go to the river to sift some sand and gravel tomorrow morning."
Yao Hu nodded, "Okay, let's use up the gravel tonight and then we'll go back and rest."
After he finished speaking, he climbed to the top of the bamboo ladder, and Mufeng handed him the stones and mortar.
Yao Hu said to the big stone: "I will build the first layer, you follow me, and everyone will build it one layer at a time."
"Yes!" Dashi moved a herringbone ladder and got ready.
A group of men, some holding shovels to mix mortar, and others transporting stones.
Watching the stone walls being raised layer by layer, I was busy until midnight before I stopped working and went back. After resting for three or four hours, I got up, ate food and continued working.
*****
Two days later at dusk, Yan Yu returned to the Dawu tribe with half a machete.
Chong saw him walking by with a gloomy look on his face, his wrists still wrapped with herbs, but the Qinghuo people who followed him disappeared.
"Yan Yu, are you injured? Where are Qing Huo and the others?"
"Qinghuo and the others went to serve the gods."
Yan Yu responded without looking back, went straight to Da Ma's cave, and placed the broken knife in front of Da Ma.
"Father, look, this is the new weapon of the Yaoshan tribe."
Da Ma looked at the broken knife for a moment, and then he discovered the difference between the broken knife and the stone knife. The stone knife was all the same color, and one section of the knife shone with cold light.
He picked up the broken knife and struck it on the bone knife, and the bone knife broke with a sound.
"Okay, okay!" Da Ma was ecstatic with the broken knife, "Do you know what they used to make it?"
Yan Yu shook his head, "No, I snatched this knife. It was originally this long." He gestured.
Only then did Da Ma see the injury on his wrist, and asked with a livid face: "Robbed it? Aren't you and Yao Hu's daughter very close? Why would you use a broken knife to snatch it?"
"Father, why did they give us such weapons?" Yan Yu thought of Yao Xiaoqing's eyes and the deaths of Qinghuo and the others, and felt pain in his heart. He bowed his head and said, "Father, Qinghuo and the others were also killed by them.
