Chapter 84 Life Has Hope

The seven rummaged through the ruins of the town all morning, and returned to the manor in the afternoon with all kinds of metal irons and agricultural tools they found.

As soon as they returned to the manor, they started the repetitive work again.

All the trees that were crushed and hit nearby had to be dragged back to the manor to dry, and some of the relatively thick and straight branches needed to be sharpened to make horses to serve as the walls of the manor.

Juma is a wooden movable obstacle, which is a kind of obstacle equipment. In the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was an early rejection of horses, that is, the wooden pillars were crossed and fixed to form a shelf, and the shelf was inlaid with blades and thorns. At that time, it was used to block the door and prevent pedestrians from passing through. Later, it was used in battle to prevent and delay the action of the enemy's army and horses, and to kill and injure the enemy.

The shape is crossed wooden stakes, and the stable triangular structure will make creatures who want to bump into the repelling horse retreat.

Making most of the branches of the larger trees into Juma can only barely block the main entrance of the original manor. If you want to use Juma to cover the entire periphery of the manor, you need a lot of wood.

After lunch at noon, it was another busy afternoon.

After repairing the hoe, Xiang En polished the hoe with a millstone, and happily ran to hoe the ground.

He knocked the broken stones of the circular flower bed into roughly the same size, surrounded a field of about 20 square meters with stones, and then planted some unknown seeds that Naka found in the town to see what grew out in the end.

Those corn kernels and wheat seeds will be divided into a large field for planting, and you can watch the grain grow in the field. Just thinking about it, Xiang En's sense of accomplishment and joy keeps coming out.

Three days have passed in such a peaceful life. During these three days, the work content of the seven people is basically the same, logging, farming, making horses, and making totems.

In three days, Xiang En carved a taboo vine totem, and he put it in the middle of the experimental field to prevent the vegetables in the field from being scattered by things that don't have eyes.

The laying of the horses is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the movable barricade has replaced the collapsed wall at the gate of the manor, existing as a simple fortification.

Afterwards, Xiang En saw that enough wood had been piled up, so he asked other people to join in the work of reclaiming the farmland.

Seven people plowed six mu of land, and there were enough corn seeds and wheat seeds. Xiang En left one mu of land, and the remaining three mu of wheat and two mu of corn.

Two days after planting the fields, they began to repair the canals.

Xiang En planned to divert a little water from a stream flowing into a small lake at the back of the manor, and use it as a water source for watering crops in the manor.

This method is much better than going to the small lake to fetch water every day, or using well water.

What's more, Xiang En also looked at that lake, and there were quite a lot of corpses soaked in it, but Xiang En didn't dare to touch it anyway.

After drawing the line, the work of digging the canal was directly handed over to Naka and the others. Xiang En and Andrea cut wood together to make a super-large taboo vine totem.

This is a big project, because the totem Xiang En wants to make is eight meters high and the base is ten meters in diameter.

On the first day of making the totem, it took a whole day to process dozens of tree stumps, cut them into polygons, and piece them together to form a circular base with a height of about 1.5 meters. It took another three days for subsequent modifications to meet the standard.

After that, there was the carving of the hollow vine balls that made one's scalp tingle just by looking at them. The carving of these vines took even longer.

Because the wood is straight, but the vines are twisted like noodles, so the modular splicing method is used when carving, which makes him have to carve every part carefully.

After a rough calculation, Xiang En needs to polish at least two hundred bent wooden parts to complete the combination of the giant taboo vine.

This horrible workload, just thinking about it gives people a headache.

If the bending angle of each piece of wood is not suitable, it may need to be rebuilt. If it is wrong or reversed, it will have to be rebuilt.

The construction period of the giant taboo vine was extended indefinitely, until Naka and the others finished digging the canal three days later, and Xiang En hadn't processed all the parts.

After the canal was dug, Xiang En had to continue to arrange new work for Naka and the others.

The new job is to find ant nests, turn the ant nests into coatings, and make the canals smooth and waterproof.

When digging the ant nest for the first time, Xiang En watched with a torch, worried that those ants would also become infected.

But he worried too much, the ants were basically dead, which made him discover a problem that had been neglected all the time.

Insects seem to have disappeared in nature...

This is a very serious problem. A sudden missing piece in the food chain may cause a series of chain reactions.

But then Xiang En thought about it again, most of the creatures in the whole world have turned into zombies, why is he still concerned about whether the food chain is complete?

As soon as he thought of this, Xiang En let go of his heart and continued to carve his own totem, at worst, pollination by hand.

After the ant nest was finished, Xiang En hadn't finished the totem yet. He felt that his project would take at least two weeks.

As time passed, the basic work was slowly completed, the canal was completed, and the stream purified by the flow of the mountains flowed in from the edge of the manor, circled the manor, and then merged into the stream again.

With the nourishment of the stream, the crops in the field also grow green shoots.

Although farming is a technical job, life has its own way of survival. They only need to carry out artificial intervention to make him grow better, and they don't need to pay attention all the time.

Looking at the food growing in the ground, Naka and the others, who have been busy for half a month, also have hope for life, and the light of hope is shining in their eyes.

What is even more gratifying is the mice in the basement. Many of the artificially paired female mice are pregnant, and one of the pregnant female mice has given birth to six mice that are bigger than fingers.

Maybe in a while, they will be able to eat fresh meat!

Busy time often passed quickly, and the construction process of the giant taboo vine was much longer than Xiang En thought. It took him a full month to carve out every detail of the totem.

After meeting the carrying standard of the taboo vine totem, he drained all the magic power in his body, and temporarily used the magic surge skill to barely successfully complete the element shaping work of the totem, and also gained some skill points to improve the skill proficiency.

The eight-meter-high and ten-meter-wide giant totem was finally completed, and all the splicing traces disappeared, and the whole became dark green under the influence of magic power, and the breath it emitted seemed to be integrated with nature.

Xiang En didn't activate the totem immediately. He asked Naka and others to clean out the center of the house where a big hole had been knocked out, and prepared to put the vines on the basement. This is called safety!

The two-day period of weakness was over, and Naka and the others cleared out the ruins.

Xiang En asked several people to work together to move the totem into the center of two still strong building ruins, and then injected a little magic power to activate the totem.

Recently, all the novels written by others are Hokage Doujin, and I have read all the good-looking ones. I have an urge to write by myself, and this urge is the driving force behind writing.

I'm a little tired today, I'll take a day off, let's do a change for the time being
