Banished to Another World

Chapter 87: The troubles caused by the rainstorm~ What happened to the dwarves?

People say that spring rain is as fine as cotton, but the spring rain here in the savage lands is like a thunderstorm in summer, and Luo Meng told him before that there is not much rain in summer.

The sky was dark and gray, and the pouring rain blocked people's sight.

Fortunately, no one went out hunting today. The small tribe of more than 60 people work less and have fewer people to eat. Basically, as long as they go out to go hunting once in ten days, the hunt is enough to feed everyone. If you want to be lazy, you can get enough rations by staging an the ambush on the animals that come to drink in the moat.

All the people who work outside were back in the tent, except those responsible for patrolling the defense.

Yan Mo wiped the rain off his face and looked at the inner wall. Now the wall has been gradually been added with features. They are no longer tall and weak walls. The city walls, the cornices, the wall observation holes, the tactical turrets and the watchtowers have all appeared.

Yuan Zhan, who was relied entirely on the construction of the turret and the tower, only draws a rough picture from his memory.

Yuan Zhan felt that the turret and the tower Yan Mo painted were too beautiful, the construction was troublesome, and the practicality was not strong. Later, he himself made out the current tactical turret according to his drawings.

This less beautiful tactical turret, Yan Mo has also seen in the country before, but forget that, this turret has the square kind of body that is connected with the city wall, the height is high, at the top of the wall the turret is open in order to facilitate observation, the wall is the shape of the city.

The tower is a magnified turret, because there it has a function of lookout station, three layers of wall were put according to the schedule, but Yuan Zhan was stumped while doing the compartment, and raised problem about the floor. Both Yan Mo and Meng suggested that he use wood as a compartment, but he pondered on and on as to why he couldn't use stone slates

"Send me to the West City Tower." Yan Mo told the two guards. They came back from the East City Gate which was facing Qingyuan Lake. When they ran to the West City Gate, they had to go straight through the inner city.

If he is not mistaken, Yuan Zhan should be building the hanging bridge inside the tower. Building the city wall is not difficult for Yuan Zhan, but the details of every aspect of the built house have caught everyone.

Yan Mo didn't have a problem for the original people at all, he let them cross too much sin. Anyway, he gave his opinions and general drawings. As for how to build it, he saw that they had to think for themselves. Moreover, he did not say that Yuan Zhan had to make it simple. Now he is obsessed with making the city more and more solid and functional. The more you get the more you want.

There was no suspension bridge before, and Yuan Zhan solidified a dirt road directly on the riverside on the north, west and south gates to facilitate easy and directional walking.

1].... Its easy if there is a pathway so people don't meander.

When he met the patrol warrior on the wall, Yan Mo decided that Yuan Zhan was actually building half of the tower.

"How come you are here?" Yuan Zhan, who was talking to Meng, looked up at Yan Mo.

"The rain is getting bigger." Yan Mo gestured to the guard to put him down and take a rest.

The guards put him down to the corner and sit down to rest.

Yuan Zhan saw that Yan Mo had something to say, indicating that Meng went to the other side and continued to think about how the suspension bridge can be built. Then he turned to Yan Mo. "Is there something?"

Meng nodded to Yan Mo and walked away with a slate.

"Yes , big thing." Yan Mo licked his forehead. "Do not close the gate for the time being, just open it wide."

"Why?"

"Heavy rain, snow, if the four gates are closed, our inner city is going to be drowned in water, even if we’re in the highlands.” Yan Mo coughed, “Sorry, I forgot to add the sewer when I was planning. Hell! How can I forget such an important thing!” In his original world city, More than once flooding in the city happened, because the rain was too big and the sewer plans were not enough to direct the overflow, causing the city to become into an ocean, he also personally encountered it.

“Sewer?”

Yan Mo gestured to give him a slate and charcoal. These two things are now available everywhere for easy communication.

When Yuan Zhan spoke to Meng, he used a few slate to see what he wanted to do. He picked up a piece and put it on his knee. He also wiped the charcoal on the top with a fur.

Yan Mo grabbed the charcoal pen and explained it on the slate: "The sewer is the groundwater network, its buried under the city, leaving a lot of access holes in the ground, its also connected to all houses, roads, etc., this to remove our usual domestic water and rain and snow. The rainwater from the sky can flow into the underground through the sewer, and then flow into the underground water network connected to the... Qingyuan Lake."

Yan Mo once again thinks of a question. Will the exit of the sewers be placed in Qingyuan Lake anger the Mer-people? Fortunately, there is no pollution in the water for now but in the future...

One by one, there are problems rising everywhere! Why is it so difficult to build a city? He really wants to let it go!

Yuan Zhan looked at Yan Mo's picture and frowned. "If you say it earlier, before the foundation of the wall has been built it would been easier. But now if one wants to open a hole under the wall. You have to dig deep."

"The main pipe can go under the gate. In addition, the moat of the moat may have to be raised by another two meters. Luo Meng said that the rain is so large that the lake surface of Qingyuan Lake is usually enlarged.”

Yuan Zhan's eyelids felt sour and Yan Mo was annoyed these trivial things, it was more annoying. However, in the case where no one is available, it is only up to them to get it all done, they really have an urgent need to be able to change the work done by people!

"To get these sewers, you have to dig up the inner city floor."

"Yes, and the sewers should be built wide and strong like a house wall, and the seals should be good. The round shape is more troublesome, we have a small population, mainly we do it for rainproof, and it can be built into a square."

"Wait!" Yuan Zhan seems to catch on to something, he thinking for a while, catching a thought that flashed in his mind.

"Underground, wide passages, all over the city, to the place outside the wall.." Yuan Zhan's eyes gradually brightened.

"Yes." Yan Mo replied casually, but after seeing the expression on Yuan Zhan, he seemed to understand something. Gradually, the two showed the same expression.

"Tunnels!" Yan Mo yelled excitedly.

Yuan Zhan didn't find the right word, but he thought it was the same as Yan Mo.

With a fist to suppress the excitement, Yuan Zhan lowered his voice: "The sewer can not only flow water out, but also secret people out. When its necessary, we can sneak out behind the enemy and escape."

Yuan Zhan doesn't think there is anything to lose. They can't beat the beasts when they run away. This time, no, they can come again next time. The man went back and forth in two steps. His thoughts were flying, and the sewer gave him a lot of inspiration. He couldn't help but think a lot about it.

Yan Mo waved when he came back, whispering: "In addition to the sewers on the bright side, it is best to build one or two hidden passages that only you and I know."

"Ah?"

"Preventing problems before they arise. Precautions are better than nothing.”

Yuan Zhan did not understand the first half of the sentence, but the latter half he understood. He didn't think of it because his selfishness was not so heavy. He was educated at Yuan Ji Tribe from an early age to consider the welfare of whole tribe, so he also habitually thought of everything in terms of what would be beneficial to the whole and the collective. However, Yan Mo opened more than one new door to his thinking that he was about to start shaping.

"If you can have a few more people like me, it would be fine." Yuan Zhan did not reject Yan Mo's proposal, he just had another headache.

Yan Mo has no conscience: "You should be able to train yourself and you can do more. In addition, the sewer can be used without wall tiles. You can try to build the sewer wall directly with mixed soil, just like the wall foundation you built if the effect is well, afterwards our city roads can be made using this method. "

Yuan Zhan, hold up a fist, he really want to do this man!

"Suspension bridge, have you a way!!"

"Hey? I am only responsible for making ideas and giving advice, I am already busy enough!"

"You are busy, am I not busy? How many things do I have to build? City walls, river embankments, sewers, building houses, I'm busy with these and on top of that I have to go to the salt lake to make you the salt drying pool according to your request, and the outer wall hasn't been made at all. You said that I didn't have time to get the city up. The houses we lived in have not yet been covered yet."

"I told you last time, I need a separate house."

Yuan Zhan pretended like he did not hear, "Suspension bridge you is your responsibility, Meng's head, even if he thinks for a year, he can't solve it."

"I have drawn a picture..." Yan Mo still wants to struggle, he is really busy, and he has to communicates with The Mer-people. Teach the students, act as a doctor, point people out to find useful animals and plants, and sometimes he has to solve some small disputes in the tribe...

And many things he wants to do have not yet begun, such as communication with the dwarves, he has already plan it well, but there is no time to carry out. There is also a trip to the island in the lake, teaching these savages to raise poultry, animal husbandry, exploring the forest, etc. Oh, he also wants to take time to look back at Jiu Feng and The Cannibal Bees, The Cannibal Bees, he is not worried about them but he is worried about Jiu Feng.

Yuan Zhan stared at him.

Yan Mo raised his hand and said that he surrendered. "I regret it. We shouldn't have made such a big city when there are so few people. We should build a few houses and make a wall. It's good to say that you are capable of at least that. No, it gave me hope. If I could only wave and make this place become a city, and I would see a river with a lame, hehe.”

Yuan Zhan raised his fist but paused it midair and if he did touch him he would involuntarily bless him, he is now in need to knock Yan Mo head.

No matter how angry you are, no matter how busy the two are, what to do still has to be done.

Yan Mo took over the task of researching the construction of the suspension bridge. Yuan Zhan turned around and went to get the river embankment raised. The sewer was not need ed in a hurry. At least four large gates would let the water out of the city, but the river bank of the inner moat is not high enough for the flooding moat, the surrounding snow, and the water flowing out of the inner city will surely flood the river.

When Yuan Zhan went to get the river embankment, Yan Mo immediately made people gather all the residents in the city to the turret on the wall. The hall of the meeting was not covered yet, otherwise it would be the best place to take shelter from the rain.

The Awu Tribe didn't know what was going on. They heard that they were allowed to go to the city wall and thought that there were enemies coming. Everyone grabbed the weapon first. It was not until Wu Chen and others explained that Priest Da Ren said that there would be heavy rain in the next few days, the tribe would probably be flooded, and there would be water in the tent, so everyone has to be taken to the corner of the city wall.

The Awu Tribe has been living in this land for a hundred years. It is natural to know how big the rain will be during this time. They used to avoid the windy rain and hide in the tent. Now they have a stronger and more preventive wall, you don’t have to sleep on the damp ground in the corner of the city wall.

And when they waited for them to build a house, according to Priest Da Ren's description of the house, the houses were not necessary to be connected to the city wall. Thinking about the good life in the future. The Awu Tribe, who once mourned at this time, can now look at the heavy rain outside and smile.

During the heavy rain that went on to the third day, all the ice snow on the grassland melted, and many depressions in the land became ponds or swamps.

Although the inner city of the Jiu Yuan tribe opened four gates, it still gathered a lot of water inside. Some of the foundations of the construction site were directly submerged by the water.

The gray-green dwarfs have disappeared. I don’t know if they are hiding in the forest, or hiding other places that are safe and shelter from the rain.

Yuan Zhan was simply miserable in these three days.

Rainwater will affect the degree of condensation of the mixed soil. If the mixed soil cannot be dried, it will easily be washed away by large water bubbles.

Yuan Zhan tried his best to remove the water from the mixed soil. It was easier to discharge the water from the soil in the dry weather. However, on this rainy day, he just drained water and was poured again. Throughout, he has to keep working, and he has to force himself to speed up the removal of water from the soil.

For three days, according to his original speed, if only the river bank of the inner moat was raised by two meters, he could at least complete one-third of the situation under his full force, but now he even failed one tenth.

Perhaps the only thing that is fortunate is that he seems to have found a way to get rid of the water and other things in the soil. Now he has to practice how to eliminate it more quickly and in a wider range.

Yan Mo was worried that the people of the tribe will get sick because of the cold weather and rai and provided some herbs to make the mutton soup for everyone to drink.

If there is ginger, it will be fine. Yan Mo thought of it more than once.

On the fifth day, Yan Mo brainstormed and let Meng and Wu Chen and others work together. The people added the supplements and finally came up with a specific method of making the suspension bridge. The method is very simple, and no one has learned the knowledge of building it including Yan Mo. It can only be speculated and explored by pictures he drawn.

Yan Mo did not carefully observe the suspension bridge, and the paintings were only roughly shaped, subdivided into functional parts, and he was not clear of how to make them.

“Try to make a model first.” Yan Mo looked at the steps of the subdivision of the suspended bridge on the slate and made a slap.

"Da Ren!" Someone stood in a cloak and shouted outside the door.

Yan Mo looked up and signaled the other party to come in.

The warrior who was in charge of the message shook his head. "Da Ren, Leader wanted me to tell you that the group of dwarves have appeared."

"Oh?" Yan Mo subconsciously looked out of the observation hole, and it was still raining outside.

"They ran to the outer wall of the city, and the leader said that there women and there were children."

Children? Yan Mo now understands the meaning of Yuan Zhan's message. He wants to try to communicate with the dwarf, because no one will take the child to a fight.

"Ding Ning, Ding Fei, you two take me to the outer wall."

"Yes." The two guards immediately put on their robes and came up to carry his chair.

Wu Chen quickly handed the coat hanging on the wall to Yan Mo.

On the outer wall of the city, De De sat down on the ground. "I am exhausted, and we finally escaped!"

Ge Ge kicked him. "You stand up, The Elder Zha Zha is yelling at you."

De De wilted "Let him yell, I won't get up even if I die." The dwarf elders looked at the person who laid to the ground and shook her heads.

Tribe Chief Lang Lang, who was surrounded by several dwarves, smiled. "Forget it, they can protect the people from escaping here."

"But this is the sites of giant human beings, and they are so tired of us that they will come to attack us."

"Elder Zha Zha, Ge Ge, we stayed here for nearly a month, the giant humans found us on the first day, but they did not attack us, did not drive us, they didn't even attack Ge Ge when he preyed on hunts on the giant man's site, and they have not showed any hostility. I think it is a kind and peaceful tribe.”

“Is it that good?” The Elder Zha Zha obviously has different opinions. He points to the tall man in the distance pool, and excitedly said: "Tribe Chief, look at that... I don't even know how to describe that it is like freaking a mountain! A big mountain built by humans!"

"It seems that the humans of this tribe are full of wisdom, they may be as smart as we are, which makes me hopeful to chat with them, their language may be as rich as ours." Lang Lang smiled. He also saw the city long ago and praised its awing and tallness.

The Elder Zha Zha almost jumped up, "Tribe Chief! You see clearly! They are not only smart, those...the way the mountain looks, even if I haven't seen it before, I know it is used to defend and attack the enemy! There was no such a big river here! Didn't you hear Ge Ge say, there are big fish who look like a human in this river? And those big fish carry forks!"

"Then maybe these The Giants Tribe are they living in the water on weekdays? Just like we live in the underground of the forest.” Lang Lang blinked.

"This is not the point!" The Elder Zha Zha was almost screaming, "Tribe Chief, I swear, these Giants Tribe and the big fish are definitely not as friendly as you think, we have to pick up the weapon instead of stupidly standing here on this mountain!"

"Oh, my beautiful Elder Zha Zha, don't you forget, what are we doing?" Lang Lang sighed. "We are here to discuss with the giant humans here. We have to ask if they could temporarily accept us for a while until The God Of Water spent his sad period during this time. In fact, I always felt that The God Of Water must have lost his most lover at this time in the past, otherwise he will not cry every year at this time. In fact, I really want to comfort him. Every year he cries, we have to move to the tree, it is too inconvenient."

"Tribe Chief!" The Elder Zha Zha, violent The ground jumped. "Oh, why, why! Other tribes are so normal, why are we only MoMo from Tribe Chief to all the people... I am going to kill you!"

The Elder Zha Zha pulled out a sharpened wooden knife and stabbed it at Lang Lang.

Lang Lang yelled and yelled. "Elder Zha Zha, calm! Please calm down!"

De De smiled. "Hey, Elder Zha Zha is going crazy again."

Ge Ge sighed again, "Yes, he is always the most abnormal person of our MoMo Clan. I think he should go to the Luo Luo Clan. Those militant enthusiastic guys will definitely like him.”

“Forget it, the Luo Luo Clan will not welcome him, he eats too much.!”

“De De!...”

“What?” De De wiped the rain from his face and looked up at his companion.

Ge Ge at his side sat up and spoke with sadness: "Fei Fei led the other half of the tribe went to seek refuge with The Luo Luo Clan, do you think The Luo Luo Clan will accept them?"

"Certainly."

"Why?"

"Fei Fei is so beautiful! And half of that half is the cutest girl of our family.” De De poked his fingers om the ground mud.

"Then you said that The Luo Luo Clan will drive away those little monsters that are good at killing?"

De De was silent for a long time, "...I don't know, I only know that even if The Luo Luo Clan drive away those monsters, we also can't go back to our original home, The Luo Luo Clan will definitely occupy our homeland, they have long been eyeing our territory for a long time."

"Hey!" Ge Ge hugged his head, "Why is this happening to us? Where did the monster come from? Also why do they have to eat us in the forest?"

"Maybe because we are smarter and more beautiful? Ge Ge!"

De De suddenly yelled: "Look, the giants came out of their nests!"
