After the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven on a dragon, his son Ji Feng succeeded to the throne, followed by Zhuanxu, Shaohao, Gao Xin, Yao and Shun, known as the "Five Emperors".
Due to the peace in all directions, the situation of women being unable to raise children or dying from disasters and monsters has been greatly reduced. The population growth of various tribes has accelerated, and they have begun to actively explore and settle in the wilderness. Although the leaders of each tribe still respect Ji as the emperor, there are also messengers exchanges.
They maintain contact and communication, but the exchanges between ordinary people are gradually cut off.
Therefore, even if they come from the same tribe, many small tribes have differentiated themselves into different surnames. For example, in the Ji family, their surnames refer to things, scenery and things. They are divided into Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Wei, Ren,
Xun, Xi, Ji, Xuan, Yi, etc.
At this time, there was an in-law of the Ji family with the surname "Si", named Yu, who was the sixth grandson of Zhuanxu. He was a fun-loving young man who often traveled around on horseback and in chariots.
His father's name was Gun (gun), who was granted the title of "Chongbo" in Chongdi. He was under the orders of Emperor Shun to control the floods and had no time to discipline Yu. However, because Yu only liked to travel around and never destroyed the ancestral property or put himself in danger, Gun
So he let him go, but he never noticed that the route of Yu's driving car passed through many of his flood control areas.
"Dad, what kind of water are you curing..." Yu rode his chestnut-haired horse, standing on the mountainside and looking at a "high wall" that was almost at eye level with him.
Those two walls were the "river embankments" built by Gun. According to his father's plan, they were originally supposed to be low walls half a man's height standing on both sides of the river to block the overflow of the raging water. However, because the river itself would
The accumulation of sediment continued to raise the river bottom, so Gun had to follow suit and raise the river embankment, repeatedly, and finally formed this wonder of an "above ground river".
Although this scene is horrifying to see, the tribesmen who live and cultivate farmland on both sides of the "high wall" seem to take it completely seriously. If you ask, they will say, "This is Nuwa's magic weapon. It can even reach the sky."
Sorry, are you still afraid of this small river?"
Every time at this time, Yu wanted to roar: "The thing that the empress used to mend the sky is not [Xi soil]!", but he couldn't, because he couldn't explain this without revealing his identity, and if the other party knew about him
Even Son of Gun would only answer the previous question: "Yes, yes, everything you said is right, can I go?"
He had seen how his father "repaired the embankment" by simply holding a box filled with soil in his hand and retreating on the embankment, dumping the inexhaustible balls of mud, followed closely by the river embankment.
Several construction workers wielded hammers, shovels and other tools to compact it. As long as there are no obvious gaps, the embankment will be completed, and no matter how big the waves hit it, it will not shake at all - this is what Nuwa Empress said.
Magic weapon, breath soil.
The problem now is that more and more rivers have been treated in this way. Gun has to "raise" all the dams in this way every rainy season, and the time it takes to raise the height is fixed. In the end, Gun stopped and continued.
It is because he is busy from one rainy season to another that he will be able to raise all the dams again. If the workload continues to increase, some of the "high walls" will burst.
In Yu's opinion, the most obvious thing is that his father used to come in to express condolences to his mother when he passed by the house, scolding or praising himself, but in recent years he has not even entered the house at all - because if he was delayed for such a moment, there might be a dam somewhere.
Collapsed.
Yu secretly swore that he would never become such an adult in the future.
"Carrot, you said, since the sediment at the bottom of the river has piled up so high, how about we dig the river embankment from below and clean the accumulated sediment from below?" Yu rode his horse around the two high walls and headed towards his
The horse said.
"咴——咴——咴——" The chestnut horse called Carrot heard his name and barked several times happily.
"What you said makes sense. If that happens, there will be a risk of being buried and the river water rushing out of the hole we dug." Yu nodded and said.
"Eh?" Carrot didn't respond. He pulled a handful of grass from the side of the road and started chewing it.
"That's right, we still need to discuss it with my father. To prevent him from putting on airs, I have to bring my mother with me. I will drive and follow him next time he passes by the house." Yu continued to talk to himself.
————
Tushan, as a vast chain of mountains, is the birthplace of several unknown rivers, so the "river patrol trip" planned by Yu required a half-circle around the entire mountain range.
After a preliminary inspection, he found that the situation of all rivers was the same - the creeks in the mountains were normal. Once they flowed out of the mountains and extended to livable places, Gun-style soil would appear on both sides of the rivers.
Dam, if you continue to travel along the river, you will see tribes or families living near the river.
Yu Ruo said to himself with enlightenment: "So, my father has tried his best to set up 'flood discharge areas' in uninhabited places. However, due to the rapid development of various tribes, there are fewer and fewer similar areas. The plan is completely
We can't keep up with the changes, and we can't let the settlers' houses and acres of land be flooded, so we have those towering 'above ground rivers'. In this case, the solution is..."
"嘤嘤嘤——" A small cry sounded.
"It's so unpleasant. Don't make such a sound." Yu raised his hand and patted Carrot on the head.
"Eh?" Carrot looked up innocently, chewing a radish in his mouth.
"嘘嘤..." The cry seemed to be there or not, it was ethereal. It did not come from the mouth of the carrot, but came from the quiet forest in the mountains.
"Is it a monster..." Yu took off the wooden bow and arrows he made from his back. Although the tribe had iron arrows and iron-tied bows, he did not bring them this time because they were too heavy: "It's okay if you are a lost person, but if
When a monster comes out later, you have to run as fast as you can, Carrot. If you can't run away, I'll give you to it to eat."
"Eh?"
After the Lich War, there was no trace of the witch clan, and the monsters were almost extinct in Nanzhanbuzhou. However, the "monsters eat people" thing was still used by many mothers to scare their babies. Unfortunately, Yu was such a baby.
Under Yu's nervous gaze, a girl who looked about the same age as him ran out of the forest while covering her eyes with the back of her hands and crying.
She is petite, wearing a khaki cotton skirt, and has bare feet. Although her face cannot be seen clearly, the pair of fluffy golden ears on her head and the two tails trailing behind her are enough to prove her identity: "嘤嘤嘤
——Tushan Chengcheng is not a monster——”
"Carrot, run quickly - move!" "Boom!"
Because the chestnut-haired horse stood there in a daze for some reason, Yu was knocked over by the demon girl who was not looking at the road, and unfortunately, he was pinned under her.
"It hurts..." When Yu came back to his senses, he saw a pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, staring at him blankly: "That... girl?"
"Ah! It's the human race -" the girl stepped on Yu's stomach, jumped up and ran away: "It's so scary -"
"Pfft! It's me who should run away..." Yu held his stomach and climbed up, watching the girl with two tails waving her tail running towards the gathering place of the human race: "And you ran in the wrong direction..."
