They were lying on a shelf set up with wooden sticks, and under the bed were circle-shaped mosquito coils that emitted a strong smell, and there was a fire nearby.
No longer worry about the bites of insects and ants, and no longer be soaked into the bones by the damp cold air on the ground.
The roof is made of waterproof rain tarpaulin, so it will not be drenched even if it rained yesterday, and it can also block the wind.
They are still covered with thick and warm bedding. They never knew that there are plant products in the world that are as warm as fur and softer than fur.
Sleep until dawn, and don't worry about being woken up in the middle of the night.
In addition, I ate a full meal yesterday, and I woke up early this morning, full of strength.
Most importantly, they are no longer a group of outcasts without affiliation, but members of the Starfire Tribe!
"Jiao, I'm going to fetch water. Where's the aluminum bucket?" Guangxing hurried to look for Jiao, looking around for the aluminum bucket.
The tribe specially arranged people to be responsible for the water supply, and Guang was one of them.
I saw the magical aluminum bucket yesterday, and I just thought about getting up early to carry water today.
The method of carrying water was given to them by the envoy of God, Professor Yang Yi. Only one stick is needed to carry two buckets of water!
Just yesterday I tried to carry water with a flat stick. This way, I can carry two large buckets of water without much effort. It is much easier than carrying water with a stone jar or holding it on my head.
They often carry heavy loads on their shoulders, so they don't feel pain or strain.
Jiao waved his hand: "You are too late, someone is ahead of you."
"Ah?! There are people who are earlier than me!" Guang was extremely depressed, thinking to himself that he would get up earlier tomorrow.
People in the Xinghuo tribe attach great importance to aluminum barrels, and they all hope to get in close contact with them.
The aluminum bucket is not only convenient for carrying water, but also a good pot.
Tried cooking with them yesterday, much faster than usual stone pots, saved a lot of time and firewood.
The firewood that used to be used for one day can now be used for several days, which also liberated some manpower.
"We'll go to collect wild fruits and vegetables later, and it would be great if we could hold the aluminum bucket, so that we can hold more things." Yue, who was in charge of collecting, looked at the aluminum bucket very greedily.
They have too few animal skins, and there are not many fruits that can be wrapped with big leaves. It will definitely make a big difference if they can have aluminum barrels.
Wild vegetables and fruits have to be found far away, and they can only go back and forth once a day, so how to transport them becomes a problem.
Jiao disagreed: "The aluminum bucket is too expensive, and it has to be used for cooking food and water, so it cannot leave the tribe."
Yue was a little disappointed, but he had expected it in his heart.
Such a precious thing really cannot be taken away easily, and it must be guarded by special people at night.
"Can't you make baskets?" Yang Yi came over and heard their conversation.
"An envoy." Yue looked at Yang Yi with admiration in her eyes.
He is not a god, but he has things and wisdom that only the world of gods possess, and he is the messenger of gods.
Yang Yi did not refuse this title, he was different from these people after all, and it would not seem awkward to be given a special title.
"What is a basket?"
Yang Yi asked her to find some vines as thick as little fingers, and then use these vines to weave rattan baskets.
He grew up in a village in the city. He had a building at home, and later built an eight-story building, which was specially used for renting out.
When I was young, there was a tenant who specialized in bamboo weaving, and his craftsmanship was very good. At the beginning, they made common bamboo weaving utensils, and later changed to sell bamboo weaving art.
Yang Yi has watched him weave various supplies and utensils since he was a child, and occasionally he would start playing with them. It is not too difficult for Yang Yi to weave a rough rattan basket.
"This one can hold a lot of things! You can carry it on your back, so you can pick it while walking! If you have two rattan baskets, you can carry them like water, and you can carry more things by yourself!"
Yue carried the rattan basket on his back, imitating the action of picking and loading the basket, and the eyes of those who noticed the situation here were shining.
"Envoy, can I try to make it up myself?"
Weaving rattan baskets is not difficult, and you can do it after a month. It's just that I haven't seen it before, so I can't think of doing it.
"That would be the best. You can all try to weave it yourself. If you don't know how to do it, come and ask me. I hope everyone can have a rattan basket when you set off."
Yang Yi didn't plan to take care of everything, so he was very happy to hear this.
"If it's too late today, let those who are old or have uninjured hands do it, and they will have enough rattan baskets tomorrow."
There are too few containers in the tribe, it is always useful to make more, and it can make those who are not convenient to travel have something to do.
Everyone cheered happily and hurried to find the rattan.
Before departure, everyone ate delicious food, and everyone was looking forward to today's harvest.
Now the collection team has a new container, and everyone in the hunting team is also equipped with a new weapon—a steel spear.
Normally, the collection team will arrange two warriors to protect their safety, two in the camp, and three warriors in the hunting team.
The hunting team only brought four ordinary people each time. Without suitable weapons, the large number of people could easily become a burden.
Today, the number of ordinary people has increased to ten, because all their stone spears have been replaced with steel spears.
After sharpening the blade, it is by no means inferior to Blackstone weapons!
With powerful weapons, the combat effectiveness of ordinary people has also been greatly improved, and they can also become members of hunting teams.
Kun and another ordinary man named Teng took the sapper shovel, which became a weapon and facilitated the way in the woods.
Their current team is very powerful, and they can go hunting in places they dared not go before.
The two teams set off arrogantly, and everyone's eyes were shining with excitement.
Yang Yi also has very important things to do today, which is to follow Jiao, Jing and others to the wasteland, hoping to find a suitable place to live and dig a well.
Jing's condition today is much better than yesterday's. After eating and drinking, he is much more energetic. The current situation is not good for hunting, and simple labor and walking are not a problem.
The other wounded have also gradually improved, and they will be taken care of specially. If they can recover, they will be able to replenish the tribe's manpower.
Just after daybreak, they set off.
When the scorching sun was in the sky, Jing stopped: "Cross the rows of trees in front and you will officially enter the wilderness. The further you go, the more dangerous it will be."
"There are many more animals here than where we live, which means that this place has got rid of the threat of the Black Forest." Jiao Ye said, "I don't know if water can be dug here?"
"Let me consider."
Yang Yi surveyed the situation here. There are no trees in this area, and it is very open and empty.
Weeds grow so tall that they can bury people.
If someone hadn't opened the way, even if Yang Yi was fully armed, he would have been cut by the grass.
There were no rivers or springs nearby, but it seemed that there must be plenty of water underground.
Yang Yi found a low-lying place. It rained yesterday, and there was still a little water at the roots of the grass.
"Dig the grass here, clean it up, and light a bonfire here."
Everyone didn't understand why he did this, but they did it without any objection.
Yang Yi planned to use the fire test method recorded in the "Nongzheng Quanshu" to judge whether there was water below by looking at the trajectory of the bonfire smoke.
If the smoke is in a meandering state, it is stagnated by water vapor, which means that there is spring water below; if it rises straight up, it means there is no spring.
"Just dig here." Yan showed the former state, and Yang Yi spoke.
Two people started digging with engineering shovels. At first, they were not very skilled.
They seemed to be tireless. Yang Yi suggested a substitution, but they were not happy.
Basket after basket of soil was dug out, and the well dug deeper and deeper, already taller than the man who dug the well, but there was no trace of water.
In fact, Yang Yi had no idea at all. Although he also borrowed from the books he had found with great difficulty, it was just talking on paper.
He was concerned that the aquifer was too deep, or that he had clicked in the wrong place, which was both a good possibility.
"Water is coming out! There is really water in the ground!" An exclamation came from the bottom of the well.
The two dug nearly two stories high, and water gushed out from the ground.
The person standing on the top quickly dropped the rope and pulled them up. As soon as the two were pulled up, they saw that the bottom had been submerged by water, and there was still a steady stream of water rushing up.
"Envoy, we can move the tribe here!" Jiao Jiao was extremely excited.
After walking all the way, they can deeply feel that this place is relatively safe, and there is a certain distance from the Black Forest, but not too far.
It can make the Black Forest scare foreigners without being threatened by it.
If there is water here, they can move here.
"Get a pot of water and taste it first to see if it's drinkable." Yang Yi was not in a hurry to be happy, and had to test the water quality.
If it is bitter water or salt water that is not suitable for drinking, then it is a joy in vain. No matter how detailed the mineral detection in the water is, you have to wait until you go back.
After the water settled for a while, Yang Yi tied the rope to yesterday's rock sugar jar and hung it down, filled it with water and pulled it up again.
The time for precipitation is not enough, the water is still a little cloudy, but there is no weird color, and there is no bad smell when you smell it.
"Envoy, let me try." Jiao said.
Yang Yi shook his head, "It has to be boiled, drinking unboiled water is easy to get sick."
Jiao laughed: "We can't wait any longer, I just drink a little, it's okay."
Others also expressed their desire to know what happened, they usually drink directly like this.
