After the day of oath, the prestige of the patriarch rose to the highest level in the clan.
After all, at the time of the oath, all the clansmen in the audience saw the golden light flashing from the idol! There is no doubt that it is definitely a miracle of the Beast God! No one doubts! And even the beast gods manifested their vows to bless the patriarch. This is something that has never happened before. Then, this is definitely a sign of the beast gods, asking them to obey the words of the patriarch! !
It was the high platform of the oath, and after that, under the divination of the witch, it was also preserved as it was, and for this reason, people were strengthened a lot. The extra-tall snake-shaped statue above it naturally cannot move easily. The beast gods have already appeared on it, so they must be worshipped every day!
Miao He and Yang Dalang had no doubts about the miraculousness of Jin Guang, but both of them felt the power of faith for the first time. As a result, every time he said a word, people would happily rush to do it when they heard it, thinking that it was in accordance with the instructions of the beast god. But it couldn't stop it.
Now the stone tank of Miao He's house is full every day, and people send flowers and vines from time to time. There are even furs.
"Since that's the case, use it for business." One day, Yang Dalang said.
"Business?" Miao He nestled in his arms, holding his own tail. Warming like this in the cold season is better than any warm house.
"Well. Prevent the beast tide," Yang Dalang said about the unique disaster in this world.
Beast tides do not happen every year, and they vary in size. However, this is the reason why the clan previously only used leather tents to build their houses. When encountering a beast tide, the way to cope in the past was to abandon this place and migrate. At the risk of being chased by the beast tide, attacked by the migrating beasts, pulling the old and the weak, the whole family fled in the forest. And as long as it is moved once, it will certainly cause a lot of casualties.
This reminded Yang Dalang of the idea of a moat. In the Dayu Dynasty, a trench would definitely be dug outside the newly built Fucheng as a moat, and the court was very concerned about opening the canal. In his early years, Yang Dalang had no money to pay, and he had to go there in person to serve corvée, and he dug a lot. For the means of removing sand, preventing silt and building covers, I have seen them all.
The tribe's geographical location is just close to the big river. It is not difficult to divert water in and out again.
"I just don't know if it can really be prevented." Yang Dalang was still hesitant, and it was this.
Even if the trench is really built, when the beast tide really hits, it will be a difficult choice to stay or not.
At that time, the decision as the patriarch will bear the life and death of the entire clan.
It can be said that if you do more of this, you have to fight everything. If you don't do it, no one will blame it.
The migrations in the past were all in exchange for sacrifice. Clan people have long been used to it.
So should it be changed? Shouldn't it, just follow the usual practice
Miao He could feel people's hesitation, so he hugged them. "Anyway, we're all together."
And since we are together, how can I put my little brother in danger...
Looking at the person he loved in his arms, Yang Dalang's eyes gradually became firm.
"Do it, do it best."
After that, the two of them told the old witch about this idea.
The shamans in the clan experienced two beast tides, and they knew more details about the beast tides than they remembered.
Hearing this thought, Wu only lowered his heavy eyelids.
The air-dried crepe on the face makes people unable to see the movement, but the heart is slightly warm...
Immediately standing up, Wu Shen said solemnly, "Fortune-telling. Let's listen to the will of the beast god."
The chosen place for divination was right in front of the newly erected serpent statue. If you want to dig a trench, you have to use the power of the whole family.
A public divination that everyone can see is the best way to convince the clan.
Almost the whole family was present that day. The reason for the divination was known to the whole family. Some people agree and hope that they will move without panic; some people worry that there is not enough food, and digging trenches is not a matter of a day or two, and it will definitely take up a lot of manpower.
Hearing it in Chun's ears, he was surprised! !
In the past life, there was no such thing as digging trenches!
The beast tide that came a few years later was obviously migrated by the clan leader with the people in the clan!
He really didn't understand why only this change of the patriarch's vows could make the follow-up things so different!
Chun was in a hurry, and what he said didn't sound good, "But I don't know if we can prevent it. If we can't prevent it, we are all locked in the village, then it's not, it's like giving up death in vain!!"
The people who heard it immediately disapproved, "Then dig it until it can be defended!! Since there is a way to go, why can't we give it a try!? If you want me to say, you don't need to ask God at all. Is there a notice, it must be for this!!”
"Yeah, the witch is too careful, the beast god doesn't even bother to pay attention to it. But it's okay to make a prediction, just to suppress those who are worried about this and that!!"
"Hahahaha!! That's right, you can pull all those lazy bones to dig trenches!"
So, when the results of the divination were announced, You Wu shouted, "Okay!"
There was a lot of cheers in the audience! ! Shout out! ! As if all doubts do not exist! !
Turning his head to look at Yang Dalang, Miao He felt that he was tense for a moment, then bent his eyes and leaned over.
Such a heavy responsibility, if he bears it hard alone. Then two people will support.

After that, the digging of the trenches was in full swing.
This is not only based on the wisdom of the witch, all the old orcs in the clan who have experienced the beast tide are called in to provide advice.
Now that it has entered the cold season, the weather is cold and the food is limited, so it is not suitable to start construction. We will have to wait until next year's bud season to really start work. Before that, they have plenty of time to think and plan. The design was repaired again and again, but the people of the clan who were also repairing were very enthusiastic, and they wished to dig with their claws now.
In this atmosphere, Chun's heart is really unstable.
But now that his bargaining chip has been pressed, it is on Mo who is becoming increasingly silent, and he can't change it any more. So Chun decided to use the other methods he had learned, such as how to make the leather softer, how to boil purer oil, and how to sharpen the stone knife, so as to compete with the patriarch and the others for prestige. If things don't go well in the moat, maybe it's an opportunity for Mo!
In normal times, these methods may bring a better quality of life to the clan, but when Miao He takes the lead in opening the field and trying to plant those cold-season fat boos that he and Yang Dalang dug back, nothing can compare to ensuring survival and Food thing.
This fat bud, like the potato in the previous life, can provide a very good sense of satiety. If it is grown, it can greatly improve the risk of relying only on hunting for food.
To this end, Miao He also successfully persuaded Yang Dalang to let him use Xi soil.
After all, in the past, the family had to eat the vegetables raised by the soil, and they were all able to take care of the body. Setting aside a few minutes a day to grow some vegetables to eat is even better! In addition, the energy of the golden light version is stronger and more active than what Miao He has come into contact with before. Miao He will use it to cultivate many seeds and restart their planting business!
Happily, in this cold season, Pang Bu really succeeded in harvesting several rounds! ! This is because the soil improves the quality of the seeds. The older generation was amazed when they saw it. In the past, the fat bouillons they planted were few and small, and they never thought that these could support half the consumption of the cold season!
And after the success in farming, most of the people in the clan are even more determined!
After the trenches were dug formally, the more food source was used as a foundation, and the work was even more worrying.
Finally, when the next bud season comes, the huge project of digging trenches officially begins!
This dig, a ditch as wide as a small lake, will take a year or two to complete. The manpower allocation adopts a shift method, allowing several teams of people to take turns hunting, resting and going to work, and division of labor and cooperation. But even so, the workload of male orcs has increased a lot.
At this time, the newly launched planting business has become a new supporting force! There are more Asian beasts actively participating in it, and the scale has rapidly expanded. They both want to share the heavy work on the male's shoulders. And being able to grow more food means that hunting can be less stressful!
Therefore, important but trivial links such as fertilization, irrigation, and weeding are all things that should be done in a hurry in the eyes of active and hard-working Asian beasts. Miao He and Yang Dalang took advantage of the situation to plan the sanitary conditions in the clan, so that some resources could be reprocessed and reused, and then found that the orcs' acceptance of this was actually very high.
In any case, when everything in the clan was changing and developing rapidly, Chun was just getting more and more anxious.
He found that the new methods he had made were like pebbles thrown into the pool without much splashing. Every time I saw Heyi's clan surrounded by people saying this, the injustice in Chun's heart became higher and higher, and of course, he became more and more jealous.
What disturbed him even more was Mo's condition.
In his previous life's impression, from this time onwards, Mo's disability will gradually improve. He didn't know the details of how the specific disability was raised, but it was definitely not related to He. He had never heard of any new herbs He had ever found.
But today, Mo is still the one who walks around.
Unable to dig trenches and hunt, he could only do the work of sub-beasts, and as time passed, he became more and more silent.
It was because of this inferiority and sensitivity that he quarreled with the original body many times. Now, after making a promise with Chun, Chun, who has been listening to it, keeps asking, "Is your injury any better?" "Does today feel different from yesterday?"
Finally one day, Mo broke out! !
"You ask me this every day, do you regret it in your heart!?"
"Regret making a promise with a disability, regret making a promise with a male who can't support you!! Isn't it!?"
Facing the fierce and gloomy Mo, there was a trace of regret in Chun's eyes. But now that he has no regrets, Chun can only suppress his temper and calm down patiently. However, when he turned around, Chun started to actively ask if there was any way to treat the disability! Perhaps, He also helped Mo to ask, and since He in the previous life could find it, he could do it himself! !
Afterwards, some remedies and superstitious treatments often appeared in their lives.
However, after trying and getting disappointed, trying again after disappointment, this cycle further stimulated Mo's inferiority complex.
I don't feel this spring, and I don't want to experience it. He had always believed that he would definitely find a way to heal Mo's injury. Even if Mo was so irritable and acted on himself, he would definitely be grateful to him in the future!
While Mo and Chun were torturing each other like this, two years passed by like a shuttle.
The huge trench, together with the embankment outside the village, is about to be completed.
Perhaps it was the blessing of the beast gods. The past two years have been calm, and they have not even encountered a larger group of beasts.
When the estuary connecting to the big river was finally opened, all the clansmen got on the river bank and waited nervously for the last moment!
Over the past two years, everyone has contributed a lot, whether it is male orcs or sub-beast females. Not to mention, the flat land beside the embankment has now become a fat field. It can be said that the digging of the trenches has long ago tied the hearts of the whole family together.
The power of faith is so great.
It was something Yang Dalang and Miao He could not have imagined at the beginning.
Under the breath of the crowd, staying on the high platform of the river bank, Yang Dalang raised his hand and issued the last command.
"open!"
I saw the last piece of earth, knocked down by orcs tied with ropes! !
The billowing and abundant river water rushed out from that gap!
The surrounding soil is no match for such a scour! Visible to the naked eye is eroded and disappeared! Finally, clatter! !
The rushing river finally rushed through the level and entered a new channel, and it became a beautiful and meandering silver river! !
Like a snake-shaped beast god, the blessing bestowed by it.
At this time, many sub-beasts were crying, and even the males were secretly wiping their tears.
They all said, "Even if it can't be stopped. I'm going to stay here."
Because it was really hard work. Because it is a home made by hand.
A thought rooted in the land is no longer the same as the wandering in the past.
During this period, Yang Dalang also held Miao He's hand tightly.
Now this is their home. A home built with the utmost care. To protect the most important people.
"Go. There's a lot to do."
—
Three years later, the clan ushered in a beast tide.
Not a single orc is willing to give up this place.
At that time, Yang Dalang led the orcs to set traps and fences day and night.
The Asian beasts grabbed the food from the river bank and made bows and arrows. Including the injury is still not good Mo.
As for Chun, he chose one night and escaped from the settlement.
Mo might have heard it that night, but he didn't stop it. Because he couldn't figure out what Chun was thinking.
And when the last beast of the beast swarm changed its course, the clan was safe.
In the history of orcs, the glory of this clan started from this day.
The author has something to say: Fanwai is here to provoke :)
Yang Dalang and Miao He are sweet wherever they go, and then they have to go far, so they provoke XDD
Hope you all enjoy reading.
