1045 Digging ditches and setting piles
"Although there is a river in front of the tribe as a natural barrier, the river is not deep, narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, and wild beasts can jump around the narrow place in the upper reaches of the river, and the tribe is still dangerous."
"But...... The number of people who have died at the hands of wild beasts has decreased greatly in recent years, is there a better way? The Great Witch was not angry, but more confused.
After all, it was already the best he could come up with.
Other small tribes don't even know about this grass.
Wait a minute......
"You just said two words I've never heard before, and you know the name of this thorn grass?" The Great Witch asked with suppressed excitement.
Although they had only been together for less than a day, he had already deeply understood that the woman in front of him knew far more than himself.
The old witch doctor who taught him had said that he should never be ashamed to ask others, because only then would he be able to learn more useful things.
Dawu has always remembered this sentence and never dared to forget it.
He asked so shamelessly, how could Yan Bei not say it?
Nodding, he broke off the two thorn strips and explained: "These are two different kinds of grass, which grow in one place, the thorny grass is called thorns in our place, and the thornless ones are called thorns, and they are generally called thorns. ”
"Thorns can grow up to about five meters high, but you are too low here, probably because of the environment, if they can grow well, it is indeed a good natural barrier."
Listening to Yan Bei's explanation, Da Wu only felt that he had gained insight again, and remembered Yan Bei's tone of voice just now, and asked again:
"You said that this is too low to stop the beast, so what do you say can better stop the beast?"
Yan Bei broke two more thorn strips, carefully held them in his hand, and beckoned to the Great Witch, motioning for him to go back to the tribe.
The Great Witch bowed his head, and with the support of the two men, followed Yan Bei back to the riverside clearing.
As soon as he arrived at the clearing, Yan Bei picked up a few dry firewoods, took them to the Great Witch with the thorns, and began to fiddle with them.
She did it very simply, by crossing the dry wood into a zigzag shape and inserting it in the ground, then wrapping the thorn strips around it, and finally digging a finger-deep trench out of the stone in front of the miniature fence, and inserting a few sharp little stones into it.
At this moment, there was no need for her to explain anything, and Da Wu understood what she meant, and stood up excitedly.
"Yes, this is good! I can't figure it out! Da Wu was surprised and delighted, looking at the small fence and trap in front of him, and one idea after another immediately popped up in his mind.
He was pleasantly surprised and asked Yan Bei what these new things were called, and after learning their names, he pointed to the ditch trap and said:
"If you put grass on it, will the prey just walk in? If the prey walks in and is pierced by the sharp stone inside, then the hunting party will not have to fight the beast to the death! ”
"And this fence, you can build it high and strong with wood, and plant thorns under the fence, even if the winter beast tide comes, the people don't have to be afraid!"
After speaking, he grabbed Yan Bei's shoulder excitedly and sighed, "Bei, you are the smartest person I have ever met!" ”
It's people, not just women.
In the eyes of the Great Witch, Yan Bei no longer had a gender at this moment, and the brilliance of knowledge emanated from her everywhere, making him want to bow and worship.
Da Wu's reaction attracted the attention of the old man and children. Seeing that the great witch he revered actually looked at Yan Bei with a look of admiration, one or two opened their mouths widely, and their jaws were about to fall out in shock.
In this regard, Yan Bei calmly swept the broken hair on his forehead, waved his hand and said, "Don't worship sister, sister is just a legend." ”
"Bey, what did you say?" The Great Witch asked suspiciously, he had never heard the tone of this sentence before, and he didn't know what she was talking about.
Yan Bei shook his head mysteriously, smiled but did not answer.
The Mandarin spoken by the old lady, how can mortals understand it!
Xiao Duo floated out, her eyes disdainful, "Sister Beibei, you are floating again!" ”
Yan Bei raised his eyebrows: Is there one? Do I have one? No!
In the afternoon, when the women came back, they were immediately called by the witch.
Everyone, grab a stone axe and go up the hill to cut wood!
The women were stunned by this order, and they were completely puzzled by the excitement of the witch and the old people.
It wasn't until he came to the mountain with a stone axe that he learned from his own children that this order was related to the new woman.
The children were chattering excitedly about what had happened in the morning, and the adoration in their eyes was about to come out, and it was amazingly bright.
Seeing this, Ye hurriedly called his child aside, and asked suspiciously:
"Mountain monkey, you tell Grandma, are they all true? That new neighbor turned out to be a great witch from another tribe?"
"Huh?" The little mountain monkey tilted his head strangely, "No, Aunt Bei didn't say that, who did Grandma hear?"
"Isn't it?" Ye turned her head and glanced at the red feather in the center of the woman's pile, she had just listened to her.
After all, she is the adopted daughter of the Great Witch, so the news she knows should be true, right?
"No, it's not." The little mountain monkey shook his head very seriously and explained: "Aunt Bei is very powerful, she is a person who is admired by the great witches, Grandma, do you know why we came up to the mountain to cut wood?" ”
She really didn't know that.
"Why?"
"It's to build a new defensive network, yes, it's a defensive network, I heard Aunt Bei and Dawu say this, saying that with this defensive net in the future, there is no need to be afraid of the winter beast tide!" The little mountain monkey said with a look of adoration.
The child's words were very true, and Ye had no reason to doubt his child, but he still felt that this answer was too shocking.
Rebuilding the defense network, or the defense network that can resist the beast tide, isn't that something that only the great witch can do?
Could it be that this new neighbor was really a witch from another tribe before?
As soon as this thought rose, it was out of control, Ye turned his head to look at the woman holding the cane at the end, and could clearly see her striking red.
Such a beautiful color, today the red feather can be in their ears I don't know how many times, the color is bright, the style is also very good-looking, the wind blows, the clothes flutter with the wind, it is really good-looking.
Looking at it, Ye was stupid.
Yan Bei noticed her gaze, raised his hand and waved at the little mountain monkey beside her, hooking his lips and revealing a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.
Being laughed at by her, Ye finally came back to his senses, and saw that Da Wu was actually following behind Yan Bei, and his eyes changed when he looked at her.
"Mountain monkey, what do you think of her in the tribe today?" Ye asked in a low voice.
The little mountain monkey didn't understand these twists and turns in the hearts of adults, and replied directly: "Very good, Aunt Bei is very gentle, she taught us to weave fishing nets, and also cooked fish soup for us to drink, Dawu said that Aunt Pei is the smartest person he has ever met." ”
