Hu Ling'er's reply also made him more determined that his idea was right.
According to Hu Ling'er, Shihua discovered that the number of animals in the mountains began to decrease half a year ago. At first, he thought it was due to the weather, and the wild beasts living in the mountains were not out. However, he later discovered that many wild beasts in the mountains had not moved out because of the weather.
They fight each other for territory, and the winning party is qualified to live in the territory they choose.
Wild animals have the habit of fighting for territory, but they didn't fight to the death in the past. Now, the losing side will almost have to be completely wiped out before they are willing to truly admit defeat.
Thinking about it now, the beasts must have realized that the water on this continent was gradually decreasing from that time on.
However, Hu Ling'er also expressed doubts about the sudden cutoff of the water flow in the Namu tribe. She meant that she still had to find the source of the water to find out the cause.
But now, if the tribe does not have enough water, they can try to dig a well in the ground. As long as it is dug deep enough, water will be dug out.
Long Ao always believed in Hu Ling'er's words.
After listening to what Eleven relayed, Long Ao immediately ordered: "Go find someone now and dig on the east side of the tribe."
"Young Master, when I first came back, I asked Twelve to arrange for the tribe to dig." Eleven quickly replied.
"How about we go over and take a look now."
Long Ao followed Twelve to the east. When they arrived, four or five orcs had already dug holes in the ground, which were now half a man high.
Seeing Long Ao coming, Shu He, who was taking the lead, quickly asked: "Young Master, how deep do we have to dig this hole?"
"You can just dig. When you dig out the water, you will be done with it."
Shuhe had an idea in his mind. The young master asked him to dig, so he should dig hard. Anyway, no matter how deep they dug this time, no orcs would complain, saying that they were damaging the road by digging.
From dawn to dusk, the well had been dug very deep. Long Ao finally heard a voice of surprise coming from below: "Young Master, we dug out water."
After hearing this, Long Ao immediately became energetic and said, "Great, keep digging, dig deeper."
Before they came back, Hu Ling'er had already explained in detail how to build the well head firmly after digging out the water, and how to put the wooden bucket into the well to contain the water. Now that they saw the water, Eleven repeated these words
They all were repeated to Long Ao.
Long Ao was happy in his heart and praised Hu Ling'er for his carefulness.
Long Qi, who was sulking at home, also got the news about the well water being dug out, and rushed to check it out immediately. Even Long Shi, who had been taciturn for many days, came to join in the fun.
Shuhe and the others climbed up with great difficulty by climbing up the rope that was lowered. Long Ao asked the tribesmen to continue to fill the well with muddy water, bucket after bucket, until the water became clear.
All the tribesmen present were a little excited.
In their previous knowledge, water can come from rivers, mountains, or even from the sky, but they have never seen water drawn from the ground.
Long Ao scooped up a bowl of water and tasted it. It was clear and sweet. It was good water.
So he said to everyone with some excitement: "Although we haven't found a water source yet, our water problem has been temporarily solved. Starting tomorrow, we will dig a few more wells in the tribe to overcome this difficulty first."
"
"Okay!" The tribe members have not been so excited for a long time.
It turns out that when water was plentiful, no one regarded water as a good thing.
After this period of drought, everyone finally understood the use of water.
Not only are you thirsty without water, you can't even cook rice, so you can only starve.
"The brothers who are looking for water haven't come back yet, do we still need to go out to look for water?" a tribesman asked.
"Of course I'm looking for it!" Long Ao said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid what happened this time is not just as simple as lack of water."
…
In the Fanshan tribe.
Since Eleven and the others left, Hu Ling'er also realized the seriousness of the problem.
She asked Hu Hai, who was hanging around the river all day long: "Third brother, has the river water in the tribe decreased recently?"
Hu Hai also heard about what happened to the Namu tribe, and thought about it carefully: "You must be less worried. It hasn't rained much during this period, and a large section of the river beach was exposed. But there were times like this in previous years."
, it will be fine if it rains.”
"To prevent problems before they happen, let me tell you that there are unused containers at home. Fill them with anything that can hold water. Starting from tomorrow, we will also dig a few more large wells in the tribe to prepare for emergencies."
Hu Hai felt that there was no need to mobilize so much troops, so he asked Hu Ling'er: "Sister, don't we have hot spring water? The hot spring water shouldn't be dry. If there is no water in the river, we can just drink this."
"If there is really no water, drinking hot spring water can solve some problems, but you can't drink it often. If you drink it often, your body will have problems." After hearing this, Hu Hai covered his mouth: "That's too bad, I
I drank it several times before!”
Hu Ling'er smiled: "You don't drink much, so it won't be a problem."
But the smile quickly disappeared from her face.
If an unexplained drought does occur on this continent, no external force can stop it.
Even if you dig a well, the well will dry up one day.
When that day comes, although the water in your own space can be used, the water in your space cannot feed so many orcs.
At that time, I am afraid that the whole country will really starve to death, and the orcs will fight you to death for a drop of water.
Yuan Bei and Yuantai witch doctor have never experienced such a thing in their long lives. Yuan Bei, in particular, has lived in the Namu tribe for a long time and knows that the Qingyun River in the Namu tribe has always had abundant water.
Faced with this strange situation, everyone felt a little uneasy and had an intuition that something bad was going to happen.
Half a month later, Long Ao finally received news again: the orcs sent out had found the source of the Qingyun River, and they found out the reason why the river had dried up! This chapter has been completed!
