Novel Bin Chapter 71: Reunion
Chapter 71: Reunion
With enough food, everyone concentrated on building a new home.
After Yan Mo told Yuan Zhan about the discovery of The Mer-people, Yuan Zhan\'s speed of building a protective wall was significantly faster.
"Where did you get the soil for the wall? Just from the foundation?" Yan Mo asked after looking at Yuan Zhan for a long time.
"More than that, there are still more around."
"It\'s too wasteful to take the soil from elsewhere, and it\'s too slow to build a protective wall by yourself." Yan Mo walked over to Yuan Zhan and painted a simple shape of the city on the snow. Also painted a moat outside the city.
"What is this?" Yuan Zhan immediately grasped the focus.
"The moat. The wider and deeper the better, it can prevent the animals from attacking the city, the enemy can be prevented from attacking the city, and the fish and shrimps can be raised in the river. Although the Mer-people are not protected, if we and The Mer- The people have a good relationship, maybe there will more protection in our moat."
When Yan Mo saw the Mer-people and found that they could interact with the humans, he thought of the moat, and he even thought about the moat directly connection to form living water with the super lake.
As a warrior, Yuan Zhan is more sensitive to this kind of city defense. "Good stuffs, we never thought about digging a river around the place of territory!"
Yan Mo calculated on the ground, "According to the construction speed of the protective wall you are now building, by the spring of next year it will definitely not be completed, unless we only build a small village that can only accommodate one or two hundred people. However, if you spend all your energy on the wall, you will not consider the strength of the city wall. Only the excavated soil would be piled up on the inside of the river. Is this speed much faster?"
"Of course, it is easy to let the soil loosen, become a pit, and pile the soil to one side." Yuan Zhan thought, moving, "Yes, so I can make a considerable range in a short time. The accumulated soil can also be used temporarily as a wall, and it can be slowly taken later."
Yan Mo simply said: "You simply dig the moat under the entire territory and connect the moat digs directly into the big lake. So even the water is will be neat us. As for the Mer-people, I will explain it."
Explain, they can not only have one more friend, but the city protection may need more than one friend.
Yuan Zhan jumped out of the pit and pulled Yan Mo directly on top of the defensive wall. The two stood on high ground and looked around.
Yan Mo stretched his arms and pointed a big circle. "This piece of area is about 30 square kilometers, which is enough for us to develop and use at this stage."
Yan Mo, who doesn\'t understand urban construction, doesn\'t know how exaggerated and unreasonable he is.
Yuan Zhan didn\'t speak, but his expression was enough to tell Yan Mo what he was thinking.
Yan Mo looked at him sideways. "It looks great, but I have observed your ability. If you can continue training for four months your ability will be able to upgrade again in these four months." Four months is the time when Yan Mo estimates that winter will end.
"After four months, spring is coming. We don\'t have to worry about the surrounding beasts coming and attacking us. Then we will expel all the dangerous beasts in this highland..." Yan Mo wanted to say clean up and when he thought of The Guide he went in to change his words. "Then, we will build the city walls and houses again. When the spring freezes, everyone can help."
"There are two problems." Yuan Zhan was still calm. "First, we are too few, if there are enemies who come to attack us, we have no way to defend such a large site."
"The Mer-people can help."
"This is the second question. If The Mer-people decide not to help us and become hostile to us, what should we do?"
"What do you mean?" Dr. Yan, who does not understand the city defense, is open-minded. He also just said his impression of the city, and did not know how to build it the best.
Yuan Zhan didn\'t know if his Priest really didn\'t understand it, or he was testing him. He looked at him and said. "The moat can still be dug according to what you said, and the protective wall here is also illuminating."
Yan Mo was surprised and he turned to look at him, "The moat will need to be inside and outside the city... well, as long as you feel that you can cope with it."
He thought, maybe Yuan Zhan, even if he didn\'t have him, even if he didn\'t come here, but stayed in Yuan Ji Tribe, there is also great chance that he may become a tribe chief and develop the tribe into a stronger one.
Yuan Zhan looked at Yan Mo and thought that he had such a Priest who had been passed down from the ancestors. This Priest is a slave is worth to ten tribes, and if he is asked to he will not exchange!
The two did not think at all that their hands-on and brief talks today will have much impact on the land in the future.
Yuan Zhan first dug out the inner city, which is the moat that he now defines.
First, he painted a square in the snow according to Yan Mo drawing. This is the inner city range he has defined. This range is about two square kilometers, and then he begun digging holes along the extension of the circle.
The site is small, and digging such a square tunnel does not take up a lot of his time.
When Yuan Zhan used his ability to automatically separate and accumulate the soil at the target site Yan Mo looked around and told him how deep and how wide he would dig. For the moat of the inner city, he completely followed the original moat standard that the world saw when visiting the ancient palace in the capital.
Yuan Zhan spent the whole ten days digging up the square pits
The Awu Tribe was not idle. When they saw the soil piled up on the side, they took the initiative to ask to if they could help make the soil into a wall. The deep-excavated soil was soft and they could handle it.
Yuan Zhan asked them to mix soil gravel pebbles and colloidal mud ash.
Yan Mo patted his head and made a mold. Isn\'t this a ready-made synthetic brick?
Think of it, Yan Mo immediately taught one of the Awu how to make a mold, this is simple, he can do it with wood.
Seeing that the square stone was made in his own hands, The Awu Tribe was so excited that they rushed to make bricks.
Yan Mo saw that everyone was making bricks in the heat, he couldn\'t help but think: If they burn the bricks with fire, will these bricks be of better quality?
But now they don\'t have the time and energy to verify this. He can only give up on that idea temporarily, but the bricks that are made in this way are also good. They feels hard or even better than the blue bricks. The glue mud is really a gift from the heavens!
Yan Mo didn\'t think about what would happen if the mud was used up, because the amount of mud was at least enough to build several towns, and maybe they could find a better glue by then.
After that, The Awu Tribe made the bricks together, and Yuan Zhan was responsible for digging the foundation.
When Yuan Zhan went to dig the outer moat, The Awu Tribe, who stayed in the territory, could directly use the wall bricks to build in the foundation.
When the two layers of wall bricks were filled with mixed mud, Yuan Zhan would use the ability to harden the wall when he returned.
As the winter passed, gradually, a sturdy small city shape appeared on this high ground.
Meng took the remaining The Awu Tribe for a journey of nearly 20 days and they finally appeared outside the city wall. The Old Tribe Priest walked and said something to him Unfortunately, him did not understand.
Why is it that it takes so long? One is that Meng only looked at the sketch, he was not familiar with the road, and had taken a lot of detours. If there was no mark left by Yuan Zhan all the way or he couldn\'t find it and he would have to turn back and change direction maybe they would have still be circling in the wilderness at this time.
Another is because this group is complex, it has the old and weak, and the snow is not making it easy for them to walk, even if the warriors were dragging them with wooden boards, they will not be able to go anywhere fast.
The third reason is that they are many people, being stared at by wolf beasts and other hungry beasts. They also spent a lot of time dealing with those beasts.
The last one is that they carried too much luggage.
Meng knew that the colloidal mud was a good thing, and was told by Yan Mo before he left that he should carry as much as he can when he comes. During the 30 days of preparation, he made people go to the quagmire every day to make mud and make mudstone. When walking, almost half of the board the mudstones were stacked on top. For this reason, he had to wait a few more days before he set off. Because the board were not enough, he could only make a few pieces temporarily.
Duo Fei was curious to see so many mudstones and found a chance to ask Meng.
Meng took everyone on the road, there were a lot of things to be busy every day, there are sudden accidents every day, he still took leisure to find a woman to find joy, in order to reduce the burden of tents at night and for safety, all women and children were concentrated and sleeping in a piece, men would be sleeping on the periphery, and he is sleeping with other single Awu warriors at night.
So when Duo Fei came to him, he was quickly irritated by all kinds of trivial matters. Meng didn\'t wait for the other party to open the door and pushed the person and told her to go back.
Duo Fei was angry and returned to the women\'s group. Because of her ability to heal, she has some freedom now, but someone is always staring at her.
Knowing that she could treat, The Old Tribe Priest was very friendly to her at first, and her look changed. Hr also looked for her several times, but they couldn\'t communicate, every time she talked to The Old Tribe Priest face. He showed a clear disappointment and he said something. After a few times, the Old Tribe Priest rarely approached her again.
Meng and The Awu Tribe were shocked.
What is that ahead?!
The Awu Tribe Chief and The Old Tribe Priest immediately walked to Meng and asked anxiously: "Is God here? Is there really no other tribe here?"
Who made the stone wall?
The Awu man, who was pulled to do the translation, stuttered the words to Meng. This Awu is often the translator, and under the pressure of the environment, he is now the best one of the six children left in Jiu Yuan.
Meng looked at the wood chips in his hand and then looked at the terrain ahead. He was also confused and hesitant.
Why did Zhan say to come here? However, it is obviously occupied by people here!
And just looking at the tall stone wall, you feel also how powerful the enemy here.
Can they fight without saying that there are no other people here?
Was Zhan wrong? But how can such a tall, so obvious stone wall not be seen by him?
Meng actually had a guess in his heart, but he didn\'t dare to think of it possibility
How long did Zhan and Mo Mo leave? How many people did they bring? And this is the hard winter with the frozen soil. Even if Zhan has the ability to control rocks and soil, he can\'t make such a tall, seemingly solid stone wall in such a short time!
Or does this stone wall exist in his mind like a illusion?
Duo Fei is about the most calm one. Although the stone wall in front looks strong and tall, it is just a shape. There are no warriors on the top and no warriors on the patrol. It is completely incomparable with her father\'s castle walls.
But what is that deep pit in front of the stone wall?
Duo Fei looked at the deep hole that had not been filled in, but could guess that it was a defensive measure.
"I will go to look at it, you wait for me here." Meng said his decision.
The Awu Tribe Chief was worried, but the most powerful left is Meng, and he can only let him explore.
Just as Meng was about to leave, The Awu Tribe was worried that he saw someone on the snow was sliding far away.
"Tribe Chief, Old Priest! Are you here?" The shouts in The Awu language rang out in the open field.
The Awu Tribe were ecstatic, "It\'s a tribe! It\'s our people!"
It turned out that Hu Hu, who was responsible for defense and patrol, had already discovered this group of people, but they were far away and he was not sure.
The Awu Tribe, which has been separated for nearly two months, was reunited again. This joy and happiness that need not be said.
In addition to the patrols, all the warriors in the place ran out to greet their own people. Yan Mo heard the news and took three students out of the tent.
Big Eyes has long been unable to hold tears from his eyes, and his eyes were faintly searching for his loved ones. He has a lot to show off with everyone, for example, he can weave sandals - although he was taught by Wu Chen, for example, he can now count from Ten thousand, can also do addition and subtraction within 10,000, such as...
he wants to show off too much, the most want to show off is that he has a name! Or the name that Priest Da Ren personally gave him!
The Awu Tribe was mixed together, and everyone kept pointing at the stone wall and talking excitedly.
"What is this? Did you make it?" It seems that not only the Priest knows a lot of skill, even he is living in the tent.
"Priest Da Ren said this is called \'the city wall\'." The warrior who followed first proudly said.
"Sturdy, defensive against beasts and enemies, we will live inside the walls of the city, there will be nothing to fear!" Another warrior said with a louder voice.
The Awu Tribe were happy, they may not understand what the walls and city defenses were, but they can also see how safe they will be when they have these walls.
The Old Tribe Priest ignored the cold and went to the stone wall. He knew that he couldn\'t stop, and he poked his fingers and shouted with a cry: "Hard! Strong! God!"
The Awu Tribe The Chief was interested in those stone bricks and kept asking what it was and how did they get it.
Da Ze held the bricks and told everyone: "This, stone, we can use build a house! Do you know what a house is? Haha! You don\'t know! We will be able to live house in the future!"
Everyone excitedly asked what a house was.
When The Awu Tribe was excited to ask in the middle of the place, Duo Fei followed the crowd and was taken into the stone wall.
When she saw this place it looked like a construction site, The Princess bit her mouth and was a bit disdainful.
What, even a decent house is not erected yet. She thought she could at least see a small palace for Priest and Leader, and the stone houses were not seen.
However, Duo Fei is also a bit worried. If the tribe just started to build up according to the same priest that was also picked up, how come Priest did not let the barbarian first build the house for him, but made everyone build the wall. What does this mean?
This shows that the Priest is either a person who doesn\'t care about foreign objects, or a person with great wisdom.
Duo Fei has seen more than one or more Priest or Clan Shaman characters. There is also a shrine in their castle. There are many shrines in the temple. These priest houses are not only for serving the gods, but they also find that the tribes that can be controlled will sent out to be the priest of those tribes.
The servants who have been sent out have become accustomed to the life they are waiting for, and they have high requirements for their place of territory. They tend to live better than the rest of the tribe.
If the Priest who was taken is also from other temples, then he would at least not be a god stick who only knows to enjoy the status.
Yan Mo saw Duo Fei in the crowd at a glance.
Because the girl is too conspicuous, even if she has been through these two months of meditation, and wearing the same as the other women of The Awu, but obviously the combed red curved long hair, the white skin, and that straight back, made her look absolutely different from the people around, enough to make her shine like a light bulb.
Although Yan Mo saw her, but he didn\'t have time to take care of her, his gaze was quickly attracted to the large amount of mudstone that was dragged in.
Meng strode to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo reached out and grabbed him. "That\'s great! The mud stone here is almost gone, you coming too perfect! Come, let everyone settle down today, we will start working together tomorrow!"
Meng opened his mouth and closed it, he originally wanted to ask what the stone wall under construction was made, but he also guessed the construction scene in his place, and he guessed it. When Yan Mo finished, he asked. : "Where is Zhan?"
Yan Mo waved his hand.
"He went to find The Mer-people to fight."
That animal, he has too much energy that since there is nowhere to vent, so the big moat makes him dig and he will not get tired, he was told by The Mer-people that he looked more ugly the the ugly people they had seen, and the animal went to the Mer-people to say a talk! Simply unreasonable! What he said is clearly a fact.
