Chapter 100: The Strange Thing of the Human Palace
Xia Tuo used the perspective of his previous life to see how important smooth trade routes are to a country. For example, the British Kingdom, which once relied on the Age of Discovery, once looked down upon all directions.
Perhaps the civilizations of the era of great science and technology in the previous life and the current wild land are different, but some principles are the same. The side that is trapped will inevitably become a local turtle. Only by constantly contacting the outside world can we continue to make progress.
Compared with the natives on the barren land, his vision is naturally unique, and he also understands how important trade routes are to the development of the tribe.
So the canal had to be dug through.
After having this idea, Xia Tuo was out of control, and then he came to the second floor of the Hall of Inheritance, where there was a sand table with a size of hundreds of square meters, with undulating mountains and rivers, countless rivers, lakes everywhere, and the scenes of the surrounding areas of the Xia tribe. See everything at a glance.
In the southeast of the tribe, a large area of water is azure blue. It is the Black Tooth Waters. You can have a panoramic view of the large and small rivers around the Black Tooth Waters, including the Mishui River that flows near the tribe.
The tribe is only a few miles away from the Mishui River, and now they have dug an artificial canal. It only needs to widen the river channel, which is enough to connect the tribe with the Black Fang waters.
"Come on, is Elder Lu in the tribe?"
Then, Xia Tuo shouted.
The deer has been busy monitoring the forest these days, so he seldom stays in the tribe, so Xia Tuo doesn't know whether he is in the tribe.
Fortunately, luck was good, the deer was in the tribe, and soon the deer came to the second floor of the inheritance hall.
"Patriarch, you are looking for me."
"Come and see." Xia Tuo pointed at the sand table and said to the deer: "Is there any danger in the distance between the Mishui River and the Black Fang waters?"
The deer looked in the direction Xia Tuo was pointing at, thought for a while and then said: "Clan chief, there are no dangerous shoals or torrents in this water area except for some crocodile beasts and other beasts in the water."
"I'm going to gather some members of the tribe to widen the artificial river dug in the tribe, connect it to the Mishui River, and then connect to the Black Tooth Waters. What do you think of the way beyond the mountains?"
Lu pondered for a moment, glanced at Xia Tuo, and said softly: "If you want to come to the patriarch, you can't be wrong, I believe in the patriarch."
Xia Tuo glanced at the deer, and found that there was a kind of reverence in his eyes looking at him, and he was a little proud for a while.
"Let's go, take me to see the Mishui River along the way."
"yes."
The two drove a small boat in the tribe and went out of the tribe along the artificial canal. Xia Tuo stood at the bow of the boat.
It was really embarrassing to say that, Xia Tuo was a little embarrassed to call the piece of wood under his feet a boat.
Naturally, there is no shortage of wood in the wild and old forest. The small boat under the feet directly cut down a big tree with the thickness of several people hugging it, and dug a hole in the middle of the tree trunk.
After adding some advice from him, the bow of the boat was flattened a bit. If we were building a shack, it would be a black-covered boat.
Crash!
After merging into the Mishui River along the artificial river, the water flow suddenly became turbulent, and the water surface became deeper, and some eddies could be seen appearing on the water surface. Fortunately, the two of them were strong enough to easily lie down in a small boat.
Crash!
A black fish with a mouth full of fangs was killed by Xia Tuo, causing waves in the water to roll, and the dead black fish was cut up and eaten by his companions.
The Mishui River flows into the Black Fang Waters from west to east, so the two of them went down the river very fast, and within half a day they saw the vast water surface of the Black Fang Waters.
You must know that it would take an ordinary rock-cracking warrior to come to the Black Fang waters from the tribe, even if they kept their feet on the ground, it would take two days, and it would take even longer if they brought the goods.
Golden waterway.
For a moment, Xia Tuo thought of a word from his previous life.
It is imperative to open up the waterway connecting to the outside world.
After the boat entered the Black Fang waters, all the mountains receded behind. Xia Tuo took out a small clam shell and put it on the bow.
Wow!
The clam shells buzzed, and the water surface soon became rippling, rippling away in all directions, and in the distance one by one clam figures emerged from the water,
However, they didn't come forward. The mussel shell was the way the mussel people contacted their friends, so the figure on the boat was their friend.
The deer supported the boat, and they went south down the Blackfang waters.
Crash.
At this moment, the sound of water on the surface of the water sounded, and a little clam man jumped into the boat. The clam shell opened, revealing a crystal clear head, blinking at Xia Tuo.
Soon many little clam people appeared on the friendship boat, lazily spreading out their shells one by one, basking in the sun, not afraid of Xia Tuo.
For this, Xia Tuo didn't care, and smiled back.
Arriving at the area where the southern part of the Black Tooth Waters meets the wilderness, the sky gradually darkened. The two rested on the shore for the night, and entered the wilderness along a large river that was a hundred feet wide on the second day.
After entering the wilderness, Xia Tuo began to write and draw, and wrote down the direction of the water, the giant waterfall, the turning of the river, etc., and it was five days before he returned to the tribe.
...
"Hong, you lead the tribe to widen Xiahe."
The artificial river connecting the Mishui River is called the Xia River by the tribe. Of course, this is not Xia Tuo's idea, but the tribe's people called it so.
The Xia River is sufficient for water diversion, but it is too narrow and shallow for sailing, so it must be expanded, and even the inner lake of the clan must be deepened again.
"I know."
After giving orders to Hong, Xia Tuo sat on the stone chair and fell into deep thought again. For the tribe, artificial rivers are easy to dig, but boats are difficult to build. It is not enough for him to dig a few canoes. If so, why widen the river? That's enough for now.
In the seemingly peaceful big river, there is a hidden crisis. The small boat can only deliver food to the beasts in the water. When encountering rapids and whirlpools, the small boat will burp directly, and the people on board can't break free at all.
So if you want to form a fleet, you must have a ship.
This is not something that can be done by cutting a few logs and bundles.
The only ones he knew who had big ships were the Yuqiu tribe, relying on the great lake of Tuze. The big boats of the Yuyu tribe crossed the huge lake, crossed the north and the south, and could carry tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of goods each time, brought back by barter. Resources are beyond imagination.
Regarding this, Xia Tuo said that he also wanted to do the same.
If there is no ship, find a way to build it;
...
In the evening, Li hurried back from outside the mountain.
"Patriarch, something strange happened."
These days, Li was arranged by Xia Tuo to go to the Hall of Humanity to see the group of dolls, and he rarely came back to the tribe. After all, all the elders in the clan now understand that the Hall of Humanity is the place where the blood of the tribe is supported, which is very important.
Hearing this, Xia Tuo couldn't help but froze.
"Patriarch, two dolls suddenly traveled at night, saying that they heard something calling them from outside the valley."
what!
I'm going, did I come to the ghost world?
Hearing this, Xia Tuo was taken aback for a moment, strange things happen every year, especially this year.
"Go and have a look."
Now, in Xia Tuo's eyes, the Hall of Humans can be regarded as a part of the tribe, a place where the tribe's fresh blood is raised, and nothing can go wrong.
"When did this happen."
On the way, Xia Tuo couldn't help asking.
"For three days, I led people to guard outside the valley, and followed the two little guys all the way into the depths of the wild forest. I didn't notice anything unusual."
Xia Tuo looked a little ugly, and he vaguely guessed what was causing the disturbance.
In the valley at the beginning of the tribe, after several years of development, it has changed greatly. There are stone caves dug on the rock wall. There are three floors. It is used to practice and teach the method of tempering the body.
Xia Tuo entered the valley and saw about 300 figures punching in the valley. His undulating voice was a bit immature, but he sounded very useful.
In the cave at the deepest part of the valley, two teenagers stood stiffly in front of him.
"Come on, sit down and talk."
Xia Tuo sat down on the ground and signaled the two little guys not to be nervous.
Seeing Xia Tuo's appearance like this, the expressions of the two teenagers softened a little.
"How old is it and what's your name?"
"My name is Muye, I'm fifteen, and I've been in the valley for four years."
"My name is Yubone, sixteen, and I have been here for five years."
Makino is a bit fat, but Yubone is quite worthy of his name, tall and thin.
"How's the practice going?"
"Eight hundred and ninety jun."
"Nine hundred and ten jun."
Hearing this, Xia Tuo didn't expect that these two little guys had good talents, and they could temper themselves to such an extent with the ordinary pure blood foundation building method.
Li watched Xia Tuo look over, and then said: "The two of them are rare talented people in the valley, and within a year or two, they will almost be able to be promoted to totem warriors."
Xia Tuo nodded, and looked at the two little guys again.
"You two are staying next to me in the cave tonight."
The two little guys nodded with trembling bodies, shrunk down in the cave, Xia Tuo didn't say anything, his eyes were slightly closed, waiting for the night to fall.
...
As night fell, the valley gradually became quiet. The Jade Rabbit climbed to the top of the sky, and the phantom of a laurel tree traversed the night sky. A low-pitched beast roared from far away in the mountains.
Hong led his clan soldiers to patrol inside and outside the valley, and the torches were brightly lit, illuminating the corners and corners.
Woo~~~
In the cave, Yugu and Makino shuddered from their abrupt bodies, and Yugu yelled suddenly.
"I'm coming."
At the same time, the demon-killing order in Xia Tuo's hand exuded a touch of warmth.
He watched the eyes of the two little guys become dull from panic, then walked out of the cave, fell down the steps into the valley and ran outside.
The clan soldiers who had been ordered in advance did not move one by one, allowing the two little guys to go out of the valley.
Xia Tuo jumped down from the cave, followed the two little guys unhurriedly, and entered the wild forest. Under the night, the branches and leaves of the big trees in the wild forest looked full of phantoms and chilly.
Under the thick leaves piled up on the ground, there was a rustling sound, and rats and ants crawled, adding a bit of terror.
After turning over two mountains, Yugu and Makino came to a big withered tree with thick and thick arms, and there was a faint red light in the pupils of their eyes, and they knelt down towards the big tree.
