Zhuang Yu looked at several large termite balls with a diameter of one meter in front of him and asked the ants in his arms, "where is their home?"

The boy was still nibbling on his crab legs with relish, then climbed down from Zhuang Yu, stomped his calves on the ground, and the termite ball began to move in front of him.

This way of communication is really special.

"they said, take us to their house to be a guest." Said the ant milk in a milky voice.

Zhuang Yu smoked at the corners of his mouth, then held the ant's hand and followed the ant ball.

Without going far, the ant ball began to get smaller and obviously went underground.

To Zhuang Yu's surprise, there are more termites here, which is definitely a huge termite population in the desert.

Why are you here? Probably because this is an oasis, there are sweet grass roots to eat, but they dare not come in, the Huangsha people are not vegetarians.

It's good for termites to stay at the gate. The formic acid left by their Dig is exactly what Zhuang Yu needs.

Zhuang Yu said, "shall we treat them to eat, but let them move out of here and build a new nest by digging holes next to them?"

The ant milk said milkily, "well, they are hungry. Just give them something to eat and let them do whatever they want."

Zhuang Yu: "."

Is he exploiting the working class?

Give them more food later.

The ants began to stomp their calves again, their buttocks cocked up, and they were so humorous that groups of ants began to climb out of the ground and form an army in the desert.

Zhuang Yu was surprised. There were too many of them, just like thousands of troops.

The ant pointed to the dense ant colony, "Brother Yu, we brought those from Tongshan. They are having a good time with these neighbors."

Zhuang Yu's eyes are a little dizzy. These dense ants are not all the same. Can they still tell who is who?

After the ant colony left, Zhuang Yu also went back to the city with the radish head gnawing on the crab leg, and then non-stop looking for someone to dig the clay in the ant nest, which is mixed with sand and water, which is the most natural cement, which is perfect for making honeycomb coal stoves.

Zhuang Yu thought about it and called in the people of the ghost willow clan. After such a long rush to work, the waterwheel was almost finished, and it was just right for them to continue to make honeycomb coal stoves and practice their skills.

According to the foot city of the Shifu clan, they should have shipped the coal mine back in more than ten days.

Borrowed some hoes for digging ditches from the green mulberry department, and began to dig the clay of the ant's nest.

Then began to mix with the sand, piled high, and finally left a pit in the middle, carrying water into the pit, slowly mixed, which formed a common cement.

Zhuang Yu looked at the cement and laughed so hard that he could not close his mouth. This is a good thing. It is not only used to make a honeycomb coal stove, it is simply overqualified.

"Brother Yu, you smile so foolishly." A group of turnips are also watching the hustle and bustle.

"Brother Yu has been giggling for a long time."

Zhuang Yu: "."

The people of the ghost willows are also very confused. Aren't they just playing with sand? What's the use of mixing different sands together?

Zhuang Yu said, "what we are doing now is called cement, which is used to make a stove, and the stove is used to burn the tools of the coal mine that the Shifu people will soon bring back, and the coal mine is our new firewood." Anyway, with them, we Chidi City will no longer be short of firewood. "

The ghost willows didn't understand much, because they didn't know what the stove and coal mine were, but at least they understood that with these, they would no longer be afraid of burning firewood.

In a simple sentence, it may not feel anything to others, but for people who live in the desert all the year round, the meaning is completely different.

In order to find some firewood, they can be described as working hard, which is no easier than hunting in the desert.

But Shaojun just said that their difficulties have now been solved.

The mixed sand in front of the eyes seems to have become a little more sacred.

Zhuang Yu knew how to say something unknown to them, so he took advantage of the fact that the cement had not been dried by the sun.

Cylindrical clay embryos were formed in Zhuang Yu's hands. He had a pottery foundation, but it was not difficult. It was very simple to leave a wind tunnel under the stove. It was very simple to get out of the wind tunnel before the cement was dry. If the cement was dried for a while, it would not become so hard that there was no way to do it.

Zhuang Yu teaches while doing.

A group of little turnips are also helping, making their hands full of mud.

The little mushroom is very serious there with its small mouth tilted, watching it make an extra-small stove out.

Take the finished mud to the sun to dry. In such a big sun, it won't take long for the cement to solidify.

In fact, you can also take it to the lava lake to bake, but there is not much dirt in the cement, unlike pottery, it is basically made of clay. This kind of cement is baked by the lava lake and is easy to crack.

Anyway, the sun is so strong that it has completely solidified in the sun for a day or so, so there is no need to move around so much trouble.

Zhuang Yu and the ghost willows keep making honeycomb coal stoves. Although the ghost willows are still not very clear about what this is, their attitude is as serious as if they are holding something remarkable in their hands.

As soon as Zhuang Yu smiled, he was left to them, and it would not be long before he knew what it was for.

The stoves were placed under the sun, more and more.

There are a lot of ghost willows, so the speed of making stoves is not bad.

"Oh, why is this stove getting hard?" Suddenly a little turnip called out miraculously.

The little mushroom head ran over and poked hard with a stick. couldn't poke it any more. just glued his little hands.

The people of the ghost willow family are also stupefied, how can they be integrated? Isn't it just a few random times?

Zhuang Yu said, "remember how we made cement just now, and come to me if there is not enough clay in the ant nest."

Although the nest is large, it will always run out, and then he will use food to let the group of termites move again.

They made stoves directly at night. When Zhuang Yu took a group of radish heads to take a bath to wash off the dirty dirt, the ghost willows still kept producing stoves. There were many of them, and their daily output was still quite a lot.

Zhuang Yu washed a group of radish heads cleanly, but it was not easy to wash them on cement sticky hands. They soaked in the water for a long time.

Zhuang Yu looked at Shao Hao, who seemed to be looking for something on the shore, and asked, "what are you looking for?" Why don't you come down and soak it, or you won't be able to wash it off. "

Shao Hao nodded and replied, "I'm looking at whether this is a suitable place to plant groves. There is plenty of water here, so we should be able to grow and live."

Zhuang Yu: ". You get down here. "

This bear, it was really spring, and all day he was thinking about how to make a grove.

But Shaohao did not come down, but suddenly ran in the direction of Chidi City.

Zhuang Yu was stupefied. What is he doing?

It wasn't long before Shao Hao came back. Zhuang Yu was stunned. Shao Hao unexpectedly brought several saplings in his hand, which should have been picked up inadvertently when the caravan brought back the wood from the waterwheel.

In Zhuang Yu's ignorant eyes, Shao Hao planted several young trees whose leaves were so dry that they had yellow leaves by the river, and then jumped into the river with satisfaction.

Looking at Zhuang Yu solemnly, "when the grove is ready, we can."

Zhuang Yu blushed and hurriedly covered Shao Hao's mouth. This shameless son of a bitch said this kind of thing so seriously that he didn't see a group of turnips beside him.

"Brother Yu, what are you playing?" Sure enough, a group of little turnips came over.

Zhuang Yu was a little embarrassed. He reached out and wiped it on Shao Hao's face. "your brother Shao Hao's face is dirty. I'll wash him."

Shao Hao's whole body trembled for a moment. In fact, maybe he didn't have to wait for the grove to be planted. This is Chidi City, not Baidi City, and there is no need to abide by the rules of Baidi City.

It's so tangled.

While Zhuang Yu kept glancing at the poles of the saplings, how could he grow life? in such a big sun, the leaves would be scorched.

After taking a glance at Shaohao, really want to use a word from the earth to describe Shaohao, bird. Animals are not as good as animals!

With his hands, he began to rub Shao Hao's face and washed it clean for you.

Shaohao: "."

What's going on?

At this time, the little mushroom suddenly climbed up the river bank, his feet clamped tightly and trembling, and his small hand pointed to the direction of Chidi City. He went back, and the mushroom boy had to pee.

In a daze, Zhuang Yu pointed to the grass on the river bank and went to Sana, just in time to fertilize the grass.

The little mushroom shook its head like a rattle. No, it went back to fertilize the big baby of the pear tree.

Zhuang Yu also ignored it, it could not help but think of its own way.

The mushroom boy's calves trembled so much that his lips trembled.

No, no, no

Zhuang Yu rubbed Shaohao's face red with his hands and returned to Chidi City with a group of turnips.

Shaohao: "."

Is his face that dirty? He made cement with his hands, not his face.

However, Yu's hands were cold and cool, and he was quite comfortable, and the corners of his mouth were all raised, all of which belonged to him.

Zhuang Yu tidied up a room for the little leather hat and feather head, and then a group of little Luotou went crazy with both of them.

Zhuang Yu was almost too busy with cement every day. He had to make sure that every family in Chidi City had a stove before the Shifu people brought back the coal mine.

Even a group of turnips were caught by him, and they were dirty cement workers every day.

As the day went by, there were more and more stoves on the ground, and people from other tribes came to watch the hustle and bustle when they came back in the evening, but they didn't understand it for a long time.

Until, the long yellow sand, one by one like rhinos like giant beasts, holding full of black stones, appeared in the city head of Chidi City.

The Shifu clan is back.

In an instant, the whole city of Chidi was boiling, because Shaojun said that the Shifu clan carried new firewood for them.

On every rhino beast stood a short, thick-skinned, bearded man who let the wind and sand blow on them like a knife.

If ordinary people, I am afraid that the body would have been scraped by thousands of knives, but these people have nothing at all, rough skin and thick flesh is the unique gift of the stone-skinned people.

When they saw the continuous rhinoceros giant, the city of Chidi boiled up. Although they did not know what the new firewood was and why all the beasts saw were black stones, they believed that Shaojun had new firewood, and they did not look at how much Shaojun had done for them.

Zhuang Yu also got the news for the first time and hurriedly asked a group of small Luotou to spread the message, "tell them not to go to the city and pull things here."

It happens to be distributed with the stove.

"good." A group of little turnips ran very fast.

What a bunch of good bricks to move wherever they need them.

When the giant beast pulled the coal mine over, Zhuang Yu also told the ghost willow people to stop making stoves and had to help him turn the coal mine into honeycomb coal.

He has done a lot of membrane equipment for honeycomb coal in the past few days, that is, it is made of cement. As long as the coal mine is broken, water is added and stirred, then the membrane is inserted into the stirred coal mine, lifted and poured out. In such a big weather, there is no need to be idle. It is a good honeycomb coal.

Crushing coal ore is not a thing at all for the people of the ghost willow clan.

A group of little turnips are also helping, poking the membrane into the stirred charcoal, and then making honeycomb-like things, which is great fun.

Zhuang Yu began to distribute honeycomb coal and stoves. "as before, tribal leaders take things according to the population of your tribe, and then you distribute them to your tribe yourself."

Zhuang Yu began to send someone up to pick it up.

But a group of people were very confused. What did they get? Where's the firewood?

As soon as Zhuang Yu patted his forehead, he forgot to teach them how to use it.

Zhuang Yu said a word to Zhi, who was next to him, and ran away with a honeycomb coal.

Zhuang Yu directly brought a stove and put it in front of everyone. "now, I'll teach you how to use the new firewood. Have you seen this thing in my hand? it's called a stove."

Then he pointed to the prepared coal balls one by one, "this is called honeycomb coal."

At this time, he ran back with excitement all over his face, with a "fireball" in his hand.

It was so interesting that it was hotter than firewood, and he obviously looked at the black stone.

Zhuang Yu took the "fireball" burning on the weaver's hand and said, "first of all, we have to light one of the honeycomb coal and put it in the stove. Remember that the eyes above should be aimed at, so that the fire can burn. Then put two more unburned honeycomb coal on it."

A standard stove is displayed in front of everyone.

Zhuang Yu said, "if you want to make the fire more hot, you can fan it in the wind tunnel below."

There is no need to remind Zhuang Yu that a group of turnips have picked up their beach pants and fanned them into the wind tunnel.

The fire soon flared up.

The flames rose from the hole in the stove.

Quiet, quiet.

They obviously saw the stones being pulled back just now, but now the stones are crushed into strange things with holes, and they are unexpectedly burning up like this.

Will it burn if the stone is broken? No matter how stupid they are, they know it's impossible, but now they see it with their own eyes.

Shaohao also surprised to look at Zhuang Yu, this is what strange firepower, stone burning like firewood, firepower is not small, and … can't believe it's still burning after burning for so long.

The setting sun hung on the horizon, the fire shone on everyone's face, and their mouths opened slightly, indicating the inconceivable in their hearts.

Quiet. Quiet.

Then there is the collective inhale, "hiss."

"it's really burning." It's like talking in your sleep.

Then everyone was awakened and the silence was broken.

The noise began, "do you feel it?" It's the heat of the fire. "

"our new firewood is stone. Oh, my God, it's so amazing that no one will believe it."

Looking at the pile of stones on the beast, everyone's faces were excited, "We …" We have enough firewood. "

The voices are a little choked up, in the eyes of other forces, firewood can be seen everywhere, but in their bare land, it is similar to finding rare prey in the desert.

They Chidi City, originally 18 tribes, half of the people are working hard to find firewood every day, wasting a lot of manpower, but what can be done?

It is so difficult for them to drink blood without firewood? That's what wild people do, and they won't be reduced to being like savages.

Now, looking at those black stones, who dares to say that they do not even have firewood to burn?

The bare land is barren and lies flat for ridicule, but now, at least no one dares to say that they are so poor that they have no firewood.

The flame in the stove burns higher and higher.

Then everyone found that this thing called honeycomb coal was too burnable. if it had been firewood, it would have been gone.

Zhuang Yu frowned. Honeycomb coal should have been burned for longer, probably because the weather was hot and honeycomb coal was too dry.

Zhuang Yu said, "before burning, you can pour some water on honeycomb coal, so it will burn longer."

And. Can it burn longer?

Water the firewood?

It's amazing to hear it.

The people of Chidi City clenched their fists. This is their firewood.

Zhuang Yu continued, "if you don't want such a big fire, you can cover the tuyere below, or if you don't use the fire, there is still a lot of honeycomb coal left in the stove, so that the tuyere can only be left with a small eye, so that the fire will not go out and honeycomb coal can be saved."

It's so easy to use.

It looks like a simple mud thing, can play so many tricks, no wonder Shaojun said, to use this stove and honeycomb coal together, can be considered complete.

Zhuang Yu continued, "We have new firewood now, but we must pay attention to two points."

"first, this fire cannot be used for barbecue."

It is estimated that even if he does not say, these people try to use coal fire to roast meat, roast a dark smell can not eat.

Zhuang Yu continued, "second, and most important, leaders must make it clear when handing out stoves and honeycomb coal to their people that when using this stove to roast fire in cold weather, doors and windows must not be completely closed, because when this fire burns, it will produce poisonous gas, and if you inhale too much, people will die."

As soon as they were stunned, they looked at the flames burning in the stove. As the people of Chidi City, who knew how to use fire best, they knew that if they burned a fire in a confined space, people might die. They did not expect that this was even more severe, and they actually released poison gas directly.

And some people's eyes twinkle, whether this poison gas is serious or not, it is impossible to say that they can have one more skill of fire.

Zhuang Yu confessed and continued to send stove and honeycomb coal.

And the people who received the things did not leave, but just looked at the burning stove, and they wanted to see how long it would take.

Every time they burn for a while, these people can't help saying that they are so powerful that they haven't gone out yet. It's really good firewood.

They calculated that just burning a honeycomb coal, a little slower, would be enough for them to use for a long time.

The night in the desert is also very cold, and they are now thinking about the scene of the family lighting a stove and warming themselves together.

In the past, firewood was used for barbecue. How could you have such an idea?

However, Shaojun said, we should pay attention to the poison gas, Shaojun's words, they are 100% remember clearly.

Zhuang Yu and the people of the ghost willow clan were distributing things. when they were so busy, they were busy until the sun fell in the west and the night fell in the dead of night.

And the fire on that stove is still burning.

Even though they had been surprised, they could not help showing an incredible expression.

I've never seen firewood burn so well.

Although it is late, the atmosphere here is extremely lively.

In order to make the brightness a little higher, Zhuang Yu lit several stoves.

The fire was flickering, and I don't know from which tribe, the people danced their unique dance of the Red Emperor City and sang their most cheerful song, "Young people, …". "

Other tribes have joined in.

Zhuang Yu was stupefied for a moment.

Someone laughed and said, "when Shao Jun comes back, we haven't welcomed him together yet."

"Let's take advantage of this time today to welcome Shaojun home."

The song is far away, singing into everyone's heart.

Zhuang Yu was a little embarrassed on his face, because these people were singing about him, and only those heroes who spread to the earth would be sung by others.

Zhuang Yu thought that if Chidi City had not been separated by the wind and sand from the outside world, it would not have spread his reputation.

A group of little turnips also learned the voices of adults, sang and jumped hand in hand.

The people here are really nice. They all like Brother Yu so much, just like them.

So, they also like the people here and like to get along with them.

The little leather hat and feather opened their mouths, and Yu was unexpectedly made up into a ballad to be sung, which is the honor of those great people and heroes.

But think about that big dam. These days, they also heard from the people of Chidi City that the big dam, like a miracle, was built by Yu.

There is also a water wheel in the river, the magnificent salt field above the dam, now adding these black stones, maybe Yu is really qualified to be sung like this, at least for the people of Red Emperor City.

The little leather hat and feather head also joined the team, laughing and learning to sing.

If the White Emperor saw them like this, he would probably be beaten to death.

Zhuang Yu said to his heart, unexpectedly, he still didn't miss the welcome party. Although it was a little late, there was no less ebullient atmosphere.

In the desert, above the earth, there is a light of fire, and here is a happy ancient city.

It was not until the weather was so cold that the fire of the first stove gradually went out, and the people of Chidi City began to leave.

Before leaving, Zhuang Yu did not forget to advise, "the weather is cold, the fire must not close all the doors and windows, it is best to put the stove under the open window."

A group of people just left lively.

In the eyes of everyone, this new firewood called honeycomb coal is really good, the only bad thing is that the fire it burns can not be barbecued and wasted.

And Zhuang Yu is also trying to solve this problem for them. The fire from coal can't burn meat, but it can cook meat.

It can not be said that he can make Chidi City rise in addition to barbecue thought to eat other ways.

Now, the salt field is up, the water wheel is slowly watering the grass, more cattle and sheep are raised, and firewood is available.

They just need a pot.

Zhuang Yu thought that he could continue to let the termites dig holes to build nests, make clay, and then burn a batch of pottery pots for Chidi City.

Think about it, every day on the stove on a pot of broth stew, in the cold at night, the family around the stove, drink a warm broth, how comfortable.

Just thinking about it, Zhuang Yu drooled.

Now, Zhuang Yu has shrunk into a ball, so jr is cold. don't know if it's an illusion. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is even greater.

In the next room, a group of little turnips were huddled together, freezing to death.

Originally, the bee kiss and the feather head of the small leather hat had their own room, but they also ran over and huddled together with a group of children, freezing to death.

Even Shaohao is so cold that he wants to hibernate, just like his bear monster.

Zhuang Yu actually wants to get the Kang out, but now the ethnic people don't even have a pot, how can he have the heart to enjoy it at such a time?

Zhuang Yu huddled into a ball, and the little mushroom went directly into his neck.

Zhuang Yu said in his heart that when the pot was ready for the people, he had to get the Kang out. Of course, he couldn't just do it here as before. He had to teach everyone in Chidi City to dish the Kang.

After all, although he has repeatedly explained that coal fire has poisonous gas, there is still a risk. With the Kang, there is no need to put the stove in the house.
