Now that they no longer had to worry about these annoying deer, the speed at which the fence was raised increased.

The method of raising the wall is the same as before, still using the rammed earth method.

The walls below were built last fall. After a cold winter, these rammed earth walls have dried out. In order to make the newly added parts bond firmly with the old parts, Han Cheng put a lot of thought into it.

As for raising the wall, he had already planned to do so long before the wall was successfully built, so he made preparations in advance when it was being built.

The top of the wall built by the Qingque tribe last year is not flat. Instead, there is a depression of 40 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters deep every one meter. This makes the wall of the Qingque tribe look like an ancient city wall with battlements.

Han Cheng left battlements on the wall not to build it like an ancient city wall or to facilitate attack, but mainly to prepare for the ongoing height increase.

These tooth-like gaps can play a great role in stabilizing the wall when raising it, because the newly raised wall will fit together with the old walls like teeth, and is much stronger than the wall that is built directly on a flat surface.

The interlocking of the old and new walls can be described in one word: jagged.

In order to make the wall more cohesive, Han Cheng also used a little trick, which was to sprinkle some water on the top of the section of the wall that was about to be raised.

Water can moisten the loose soil, allowing the new soil to better blend with the old, dry soil.

In addition, this year's wall construction appears to be more planned than previous ones.

This planning mainly refers to the planning of digging.

Last year, when we were digging the earth to build the wall, we just used local materials around the wall. This year, the height increase is very different.

Influenced by the previous attacks on the tribe, Han Cheng came up with the idea of ​​digging a "protective ditch" in order to strengthen the tribe's own defense capabilities.

In fact, efforts had already been made in this direction when we were digging the mud to make the deer pen.

The rammed earth wall requires a lot of earth. Now, twelve meters away from the outer edge of the raised wall, a three-meter wide and more than half a meter deep earth ditch has appeared.

As houses are built and the height of the inner low walls of the fences is increased in the future, this ditch will definitely become deeper. When the time comes, fill it with water and see which bastard dares to attack our tribe!

The speed of raising the wall was not slow, the main reason being that there were suddenly thirteen more adults in the Qingque tribe.

Of course, the appearance of bone shovels, rope hooks and ash bags also played an important role.

The people of the Green Bird Tribe are very enthusiastic about raising the height of the wall because they have already experienced the benefits of the wall!

Especially the tribal defense battle last winter. If the Son of God had not led everyone to build a wall in advance, their tribe would have been in real danger.

The pig tribe that came to join them is the best testimony to this.

Without the wall, they would likely have ended up like the Pig Tribe.

The people of the Pig Tribe, especially the original leader of the Pig Tribe, have never forgotten the tragic experience of their tribe. After joining the Green Bird Tribe for such a long time, he has long understood the role of the wall, especially the role of the wall in the war with the evil tribe.

With a feeling of sorrow in his heart, he worked harder than the old men of the Qingque tribe when building the wall!

Han Cheng looked at the wall to the west that had been raised to a height of three and a half meters, and his sense of security increased greatly. What if that unknown tribe attacked his tribe again this year? They would definitely suffer more casualties!

After the western wall was completely raised, the construction of the wall stopped again.

The progress was stopped this time not because Uncle Lu and his guys were causing trouble again, but because the tribe was about to have a grand event - a joyous party.

When Han Cheng first heard this matter from Wu and the eldest senior brother, he was as confused as everyone else.

You all are not mistaken, this joyful gathering is that joyful gathering.

Han Cheng didn't expect that these tribes would actually have such activities.

His confusion was not because this joy could easily lead to fantasies, as he had seen enough of this kind of thing in the past year, but because he was amazed at the wisdom of these primitive people.

As a latecomer, Han Cheng was naturally aware of the various dangers of marrying close relatives. However, he did not expect that this matter had been discovered as early as now or even earlier, and a solution had been given.

Han Cheng suppressed his surprise and asked Wu why he did this.

The witch said that this would allow the tribe to have more children.

As for what was deeper, he didn't know.

Han Cheng couldn't help but feel deeply moved. It was not without reason that human beings could struggle out of such a difficult environment step by step and move towards glory.

For example, eating loquat (pronounced pa, not ba), and the so-called joy party now, they don’t know the meaning of it or they don’t know it thoroughly, but they just keep walking along this correct path...

After coming back to his senses from this happy party held every other year, Han Cheng soon had other thoughts.

Because Han Cheng learned from the witch that at that time four tribes would come and hold this conference together with the people of the Qingque tribe.

Originally there should have been five tribes that came, but the Pig Tribe had been merged into the Green Bird Tribe, so the number of tribes that came became four.

Han Cheng, who had tasted the sweetness of absorbing the Pig Tribe and thus greatly increasing the strength of his own tribe, would be strange if he did not have any ideas after hearing about the existence of these tribes.

Of course, this matter needs to be done step by step. What Han Cheng needs to do now is to drive a wedge into the hearts of those who came from the Qingque tribe to attend the happy party, so as to gain a big gain with a small effort.

Don't make too much noise when inserting the wedge; it can be done easily.

"Son of God, they will bring the food, why should we provide it?"

When it comes to food, Wu is still as stingy as ever. After hearing Han Cheng say that he would provide food to people coming to the party, Wu seemed a little reluctant and asked.

Han Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Wu's stinginess with food. It was just like families in later generations, which not only needed to be able to earn money, but also to know how to spend money.

Han Cheng began to slowly explain to the witch the reason for doing this, and later he even brought out the Pig Tribe as evidence. Of course, the people of the Pig Tribe were outside building the wall and could not hear the conversation between Han Cheng and the witch.

Even if they heard it, they would not be able to understand what Han Cheng and Wu said based on the limited Mandarin they had learned.

Wu was attracted by Han Cheng's series of pancakes and really didn't care about the food anymore.

In the somewhat dark inner cave, the witch's eyes were actually glowing. It was obvious that he was still immersed in all the beautiful things Han Cheng had described and had not come back to his senses.

(Haha, finally there is a helmsman, I must add more chapters.)
