Chapter 57: The Wall Without a Main Gate



The witch stood aside and watched the eldest brother, the leader, struggling with the wall. After seeing that the strong eldest brother was so tired that sweat broke out on his forehead but he was unable to destroy the newly built wall at all, a sincere smile appeared on the witch's face.

Although the wall is not high now and cannot stop the wild beasts, it has proved that what the Son of God said is true. As long as we persist in building it, the wall will be completed one day!

He looked at this small section of the wall, and then at the foundations that had been cleared but not yet built, and the scene that the Son of God had described to him before appeared in his mind again -

A thick wall stands here, enclosing a safe space. Outside the wall are all kinds of ferocious beasts, but inside the wall are children playing peacefully.

The ferocious beasts outside listened to the laughter inside and smelled the aroma of meat, but they could only salivate and then leave helplessly because they had no way to cross the wall.

A small wall separated two worlds, one was a dangerous wilderness, the other was a warm and comfortable home...

When Wu first heard these words from Han Cheng, he was filled with disbelief. Such a place was something he could not even dream of. In his understanding, this was the place where the gods lived.

Especially the devil's curse that happened some time ago made him extremely worried.

The place where his tribe is located will be cursed by the devil. How could the scene described by the Son of God possibly happen?

But now, the appearance of the wall has finally completely resolved the depression and worries in his heart that have been keeping him depressed for more than ten days.

Everyone in the tribe was busy building the wall. The devil's curse recorded by the witch did not happen. Everyone was healthy and seemed to be much stronger than before.

These trees that seemed to be pushed down by the devil's big hands are really the blessings of God, just as the Son of God said.

Apart from anything else, these fallen trees came in handy just for building the wall.

Han Cheng looked at Wu who was grinning silently, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Should the old man be relieved this time?

After proving that the wall was effective, everyone worked even harder.

Of course they are energetic.

Under Han Cheng's suggestion, the original two meals a day became three meals a day.

Although they basically ate fish, which was not as tasty as animal meat, it was enough to make them happy.

After all, not long ago, they had two meals a day and sometimes even went hungry.

Moreover, fish now tastes better because of the presence of salt, especially the fish soup at noon made with dried salted fish, which tastes especially delicious.

Especially the wild grasses that the Son of God calls wild vegetables are put in the fish soup. After rolling in the fish soup, they taste extremely refreshing.

At the beginning, many people were reluctant to eat it. They believed that only prey animals would eat grass, like the group of deer in Yanshan that were not afraid of people, and the rabbits in the cave that had grown to more than a dozen.

However, after they tried eating them once, they immediately fell in love with eating the wild grasses that the Son of God found.

They didn't expect that these wild grasses called vegetables by the Son of God would taste so delicious after being cooked in soup and infused with oil and salt.

So much so that even now, if there are no green vegetables floating in the soup pot, they feel that the soup is less attractive.

These wild vegetables have gone from being ignored in the beginning to being in great demand today.

Han Cheng found these wild vegetables when he had time. There are two kinds in total. One kind looks very similar to a wild vegetable called "grey-grey vegetable" that he had eaten in later generations. Han Cheng had no comparison with the other kind, but it tasted not bad.

If you walk a little further, you can find a lot of these two kinds of dishes.

As for new dishes, Han Cheng naturally wouldn't be rash and just give them to the people in the tribe. He still had to go through the tasting process first.

After feeding the two kinds of wild vegetables separately for half a month, the rabbits not only did nothing happen, but also gave birth to a litter of baby rabbits...

There was no need to worry about food in the tribe. The heavy rain caused a major flood in the river, but when the flood receded, the number of fish in the river not only did not decrease, but increased more than before.

Eight fish cages were put into the water together. In addition to three meals a day, nearly a hundred fish could be dried every day.

Fish cages are naturally subject to wear and tear, but with Bo, a skillful fishing enthusiast, here, there is no need to worry.

With him around, the number of fish cages not only did not decrease, but increased to as many as twelve!

If Han Cheng hadn't said that so many fish cages were used, Bo would have even wanted to make eight or ten more and put them into the creek to catch fish...

When building a house or a wall, a lot of effort goes into the foundation.

After the foundation was dug, the tree stumps were nailed, and the construction of the fence began, the speed was immediately evident.

Thanks to the hard work of everyone in the tribe, the wall changes every day!

A month later, a two-meter-high wall made of earth stood on the west side of the tribe.

This is the result of hard work of everyone in the tribe.

Looking at the wall that stood there and blocked their view, everyone felt a sense of security for no reason.

After the first wall was completed, Han Cheng specially gave everyone two days off to let them have a good rest before starting to build the wall on the south side facing the tribal cave.

This wall is very long, a full five hundred meters, and it is almost as long as the other two walls.

However, this wall will be built in two parts because a door needs to be left on the wall.

The door is located slightly west of the middle of the wall and is two meters wide.

It's not that Han Cheng didn't want to make the door opening bigger, but the door-making technology at that time was really not good enough. If the door opening was too large, it would be difficult to defend without the support of a solid door.

As to why the gate is not opened in the middle of the wall, there are some explanations.

Han Cheng heard from the older generation that since ancient times only the emperor would leave through the front gate, so apart from the imperial palace and the imperial city, ordinary families could not afford to keep a front gate.

Han Cheng naturally didn't believe these, but when building it, he still left the door a little tilted, which could be regarded as a kind of remembrance of the past.

The first area to be built was the two hundred-plus meters to the west of the gate, and the old procedure was still used: first dig the foundation, then nail wooden stakes into the ground. After the stakes were nailed, start building the wall with rafts.

These were already familiar techniques to everyone in the tribe, and they were much faster than building the first wall.

Of course, another reason is that this wall is closest to the south and close to the river, making it convenient to fetch water, which can free up two people to join in the wall-building efforts.

In fact, at the beginning, more people were needed to carry water, and at most it reached seven people!

Moreover, because of carrying water for a long time, the ropes woven from grass had rubbed their hands and made them bloody.

After seeing this, Han Cheng slapped his head again...
