MTL - I Have a System of Orcs-~ Chapter 36
Wei Changcheng pulled Alan back to the side of Daniel's large group of males. When he saw Wei Changcheng came back, Daniel hurried up to greet him: "We have been back and forth twice, and it is almost the same. This time is the third time. , there is still a little left to finish the job.”
Wei Changcheng nodded, squatted down and pressed the soil carefully, the males were really strong, Wei Changcheng couldn't even dig the soil, but Wei Changcheng also knew that this is really not a solution, After the water has flowed for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be able to last for a long time here, and it can only be like this now.
"Daniel, is there a time when the water level of this river rises? Is it a sudden rise in the water level?"
Daniel thought about it hard: "I don't know, I have never paid attention to this matter."
"I know this, no." Allen on the side suddenly interjected, with a very sure voice, "The water level did not rise suddenly, but it did decrease, and the water was inexplicably less."
Wei Changcheng was stunned: "Even during the rainy month, there is no phenomenon of rising?" The rainy month has frequent rains and a large amount of water. It is normal for the water level of the river to rise. If it does not rise but falls, it is weird no matter how you think. yes.
Allen shook his head: "No, I'm sure the river is not rising, it's all falling." After thinking for a while, he said, "Not only I know this, but all the females know it. There are a lot of grass in the middle of the river. The height of the grass is kept at the top of the water plants, but every year when the rainy month comes, those grasses will rise above the water surface, so does that mean the water level has dropped?"
"But, it's normal for the water level to rise during the rainy moon."
"Why is it normal for the water level to rise in Yuyue?" Allen was puzzled.
Does this need to be explained? Wei Changcheng was very speechless, but soon Wei Changcheng realized that Alan lived in the land of orcs, and the rivers he had seen were falling in the rain and moon. It is normal for the moon to fall, and if it rises, the orcs will probably panic.
However, a river that does not rise in water is also a good idea, at least there is no need to be afraid of flooding someday! It didn't matter if they lived in caves before, but now the tribe has farmland, and they will build houses on flat land in the future. If there is a flood, it will be a huge loss.
[Ding! Task: The mystery of the falling water level of the river. Requirements: The water surface height of this river has remained unchanged, and the water surface may even drop in rainy months. The host needs to find out the reason for the unusual water surface height. Time limit: three days. Mission Success Reward: Cement Formula. Task failure penalty: When the rainy moon comes, the eastern tribes will be flooded. ]
Wei Changcheng frowned all of a sudden. Is this punishment too severe? It was so heavy that Wei Changcheng couldn't breathe, and he actually put the fate of the entire eastern tribe on him? Wei Changcheng is not stupid. Thinking about it, the eastern tribes have lived in the place for a long time, right? Finding such a place is not easy at all. Besides, yes, Xiao Ke gave enough time for the people of the eastern tribes to move out before the rainy moon comes, but how many people can believe that there will be floods here? thing?
Wei Changcheng fixed his eyes on the place where the water transfer channel can be opened only one palm away from the river, and suddenly said: "Just put it here and don't move it, and dig it up when I say it's okay."
Everyone who heard Wei Changcheng's words was stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay. What's wrong? Isn't this the last step? Why don't you do it again? Some impatient males were about to ask questions on the spot, but were stopped by the people around them.
Seeing that no one spoke, Wei Changcheng felt relieved. If someone asked, Wei Changcheng didn't know what to say.
"Let's stop here today, everyone can go back." Daniel said to the males present. After a while, the males dispersed, and Daniel, Boris, and Allen stayed.
Wei Changcheng looked at the river in front of him and remained silent for a long time before he walked slowly to the river and squatted down. Looking at the rather deep river, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Daniel, Boris and Alan looked at each other, and finally, under the signal of Boris and Alan, Daniel walked up to Wei Changcheng and squatted down, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Cheng, what's wrong?"
Wei Changcheng glanced at Daniel, shook his head, stopped squatting, but sat directly on the ground, and waved to Boris and Alan: "Come and sit, I have something to ask you."
Wei Changcheng turned to Alan first: "Alan, just now you said that the water level will drop during the rainy month, right? The basis is the aquatic plants growing in the river. Could it be that the aquatic plants will grow taller during the rainy month? "It's not that Wei Changcheng doesn't believe Xiao Ke's words. Since Xiao Ke said that the water surface will fall in the rainy moon, it must be true. Otherwise, why would he create a fake mission? Wei Changcheng just hoped to dig out more information from Allen.
When Wei Changcheng asked, Alan was stunned on the spot: "I don't know about this." Yes, how could Alan know? He wouldn't go down the river in the rainy moon to see if the aquatic plants had grown taller, and he wasn't in a hurry!
Wei Changcheng touched the soil by the river: "So, will there be water flowing out of this boundary?" Wei Changcheng drew a straight line at the boundary between the river surface and the land.
"No." Allen said decisively, and looked around, "Here!" Then he pulled Wei Changcheng to the place he had just looked for, "Xiao Wei, did you see that stone?"
Wei Changcheng took a closer look. It turned out that there was a black stone in the water. It was not big, about the size of a male palm. Wei Changcheng nodded, indicating that he saw it.
"This stone was thrown in when I was young, and it has not been moved until now. I remember that every year during the rainy month, this stone will be exposed outside. Doesn't that mean that the water level drops during the rainy month?" Well!"
"Does it happen every year?"
"Well, almost."
Wei Changcheng turned his head to look at Daniel and Boris again: "Uncle Boris, Daniel, you must have seen rivers when you went out to travel, right?"
Both Daniel and Boris nodded.
"I know Daniel has been traveling for a year, what about you, Uncle Boris?"
Boris scratched his hair, a little unsure: "It must have been more than two years since I traveled, and I don't remember clearly, after all, it's been too long."
"Then have you noticed whether the water in the river has decreased?"
Daniel and Boris shook their heads together: "I haven't noticed."
"On the Beastman Continent, has there ever been water? Is there any land that has been flooded?"
In this kind of matter, Boris obviously has more say than Daniel and Allen, so after Daniel and Allen shook their heads, the eyes of the three people present focused on Boris. Boris was thinking very seriously. For a while, he wondered whether the eastern tribe had happened, for a while, he wondered if he had seen it when he was traveling, and for a while, he wondered if he had heard it from other orcs. But in the end, Boris was also very helpless. Shaking his head: "I've never heard of it."
"Xiao Wei, what's the matter?" Daniel couldn't help asking Wei Changcheng, "Why do you suddenly care about this matter? What does this have to do with us?"
Of course, Wei Changcheng couldn't tell Daniel that it was mainly because of Xiao Ke. He organized his words in his heart and said slowly: "It's very important. I didn't think about this matter before, so I made a hasty decision. It would be nice if we had thought about it before. Think about it, if we opened this place, it would be fine normally, but what would we do if the river flooded? Farmland, open space, and even low caves would be flooded and soaked , Even if the water recedes in the future, our loss will be great." Looking at the three people who were stunned, Wei Changcheng continued, "That's why I want to find out whether this river is in danger of flooding."
The three looked at each other, and finally the elder Boris said: "This kind of thing really needs to be clarified, but in my impression, there has never been such a thing as what you call hairy, how about it, When the patriarch comes back tonight, you can ask the patriarch, the patriarch is more clear about this kind of thing."
Wei Changcheng thought about it and agreed.
Boris and Allen left, and Daniel wanted to leave with Wei Changcheng, but Wei Changcheng didn't want to leave now, so Daniel stayed with Wei Changcheng, Wei Changcheng frowned and stared at the water, his thoughts turned.
"Forget it, it won't be too late to ask when my father comes back." Seeing that Wei Changcheng's brows were about to twist into twists, Daniel couldn't help persuading him, feeling a little distressed.
Wei Changcheng shook his head, pointed to the river and asked Daniel, "Are there any fish in this river?"
"Yes." Daniel nodded, "But there are not many types. Oh, by the way, didn't you catch fish when you were in the Karoo tribe? The three types of fish that can be eaten in the river near the Karoo tribe are listed here. There is also here. We also have a kind of edible fish here called blind fish. The eyes of blind fish are white. They are called blind fish when they cannot see. Moreover, blind fish are relatively large. I really like to eat."
"Then why don't you see you fishing?"
"Blind fish tastes good, and it's okay to eat a small amount, but if you eat too much, the orcs will feel that their eyesight will decline, and gradually fewer people will eat it. After all, vision is very important to orcs. The other fish are too small, and it is better to hunt when you have the time to fish, so fish is usually eaten when you want to eat it.”
Wei Changcheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Actually speaking, I think there are really very few fish that can be eaten in the rivers on the Beastman Continent." Daniel had a bit of regret on his face, "Although I haven't seen all the rivers on the Beastman Continent, the one I traveled I have seen quite a few rivers in the past year, but the types of fish in the rivers are almost the same.”
almost? Wei Changcheng felt something flash in his mind. Could it be that the drop in the water level has something to do with the fish? However, Wei Changcheng quickly overturned his own thoughts, saying, what is the relationship between fish and water? Could it be that the fish drank all the water? what! Wei Changcheng didn't believe it!
"Xiao Wei, we've already finished our teeth with potatoes, what should we do next?"
Wei Changcheng and Daniel looked back, and it was Pei Ji who came.
Wei Changcheng hurriedly stood up, it must be strange how he looked standing while sitting on Daniel's father. Wei Changcheng looked at the sky: "It's still a while before it gets dark, let's make shoes, and use tough grass. Well, Alan and the others have already learned it, let Alan and the others teach you."
Pei Ji agreed, and happily went to find Alan.
"Since I have something to do, my father is very happy." Daniel retracted his gaze from Pei Ji, touched his nose, and thought for a while, "In fact, the females of the whole tribe are very happy." Speaking of this, Daniel His expression became inexplicably serious, "I have to thank you for the females in the tribe."
Wei Changcheng's answer was to roll his eyes back at Daniel.
