I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

Xi Yiqi looked at the cave entrance with a look of despair. It was raining heavily outside.

There is the noisy sound of rain in my ears.

In my head is the emotionless electronic voice of the system.

But in reality, it is the growling protest of hunger.

The sadness between different species is not the same, I just think they are noisy!

Wuuuuuu, God is going to kill me!

The children will starve to death!

The rain had been falling continuously for a whole day and night, and there was still no sign of stopping or getting smaller.

The trees outside the tribe were blown all over the place by the wind, looking as if they would fall down at any time, and the soil on the ground was almost soaked into thick mud by the rain.

Because it had been raining, the rain had spread into the cave, so Nishi Ichiki was woken up by the icy water while he was sleeping.

Looking at the white feet that have been soaked.

Xi Yiqi wants to eat pickled pepper chicken feet.

"Chief, the rain has spread into the cave and soaked all the firewood we stored! If it continues like this, we may not have enough dry firewood to light the campfire." Nia reported to the chief anxiously.

In fact, at midnight last night, the patriarch had led some tribesmen to scoop out the accumulated water in the cave with stone bowls, but the effect was not good.

Looking at the pile of soaked firewood, hay and animal skins, Chen Qi's face was extremely heavy.

As a result, more and more tribesmen began to consciously join in the task of scooping water.

Nishi Ichiki also noticed this serious problem. Pouring water is not a long-term solution. If it continues like this, the situation will only get worse.

It was not just a matter of lacking firewood for the campfire. Once the hay and animal skins were soaked, they completely lost their ability to keep people warm.

The children in the tribe had little to eat and were weak, so they could easily get sick in this cold and humid environment.

Yan Ya was wrapped tightly in animal skins, curled up in a corner and shivering.

Looking at Yanya's little face that was frozen pale, Xi Yiqi felt indescribably uncomfortable.

We can no longer sit idly by, we must take action!

So, Nishi Ichisu stood up without hesitation and said to the chieftain with a firm look in his eyes: "Chief, I have thought of a way to stop the water from entering the cave!"

When Shen Qi heard this, he was immediately excited and asked quickly: "What method is it? Tell me quickly!"

Nishi Ichiki took a deep breath and explained calmly, "We need to find a few strong tribesmen with stone tools that are easy to dig the soil, and then dig a drainage ditch in the direction of the cave towards the stream!"

As soon as she came across, she carefully observed the terrain of the tribe. The open space in front of the tribal cave was extremely flat, except for the side facing the stream where the terrain was slightly lower.

Only by digging a ditch in that direction can the water flow freely!

Nia interrupted anxiously, "Gutter? What is that? How do you operate it?"

He looked extremely anxious, as if he couldn't wait to complete the task immediately and prevent rainwater from entering the cave.

After all, his sister was pregnant and Ze Yi's wound had not yet healed. If rainwater poured into the cave, it would be extremely unfavorable for both of them.

Nishi Ichisu didn't waste any time. He took out a fire stick, squatted down, and started drawing on the ground.

Just a few strokes simply and clearly outline the approximate path of the gutter.

"Dig a ditch as wide and deep as possible in front of the cave, like this (draw a funnel shape on the ground), and then dig along here to the stream. In this way, the rainwater that falls in front of the cave will flow along the ditch to the stream, so that no matter how long it rains, the cave will not be flooded again!"

The eyes of the men who gathered around lit up, and they all volunteered to go out and dig.

The clan leader looked at Nishi Ichiki with appreciation and patted her shoulder gently to show his approval.

Without further ado, he immediately selected several strong men, picked up stone tools, and rushed into the rain without hesitation.

Looking at the tribesmen who rushed out, Xi Yiqi was a little moved.

The people in the primitive tribes really tried their best to survive.

Soon the other tribesmen in the cave learned about the plan.

The simple tribesmen were ready to go out to help, holding their stone tools.

Nishi Ichiki quickly stopped them: "Don't worry, we can select some strong men to take turns to replace the tribe leader to dig, so that we can finish it faster."

"Just do as Xiqi said!" After understanding the whole story, Wu Yu said to everyone.

Since the patriarch was not present, everyone naturally began to obey Wu Yu's instructions.

Wu Yu quickly selected someone to succeed the clan leader.

It was raining very heavily outside. The pouring rain was painful when it hit people. The gloomy weather and the diffuse rain and fog obstructed the vision, making the people digging the canal move slowly, causing them to be exposed to the rain for a longer time.

If this continues, the clan leader and his men won’t be able to bear it even if they have bodies made of iron!

Looking at Wu Yu's solemn expression, Xi Yiqi knew that the cave did not store too many herbs.

There must be something else that can be done...

You have to think about it quickly!

Xi Yiqi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Just then, she suddenly noticed the old men and women standing at the entrance of the cave. They were looking at their people in the rain with worried looks on their faces.

Got it !

Nishi Ichisu nimbly carried out a large bundle of hay from the depths of the cave!

"Don't just stand there. I've thought of a way to make them feel less wet and more comfortable!"

Hearing these words, the rest of the tribesmen immediately surrounded Nishi Ichi.

Without waiting for them to ask, Nishi Ichisu took the initiative to say, "Now I will teach you how to weave straw hats."

The Yanyuan tribe only had dry grass and no large palm leaves, perhaps because they had not been discovered yet.

It is too late to make raincoats with hay now.

However, you might try a woven straw hat, which can also provide some protection from the rain.

The tribesmen sat down consciously and followed Nishi Ikki to start weaving straw hats.

Not only witch language, but also the warriors who were ready to take over the next wave of digging ditches sat down and clumsily but seriously began to learn how to weave straw hats.

"First, pull a piece of hay in the front left with your right hand, then use your left hand to pull another piece of hay in the front right, and use your right hand to press the third piece of hay in the back right to the lower left, and then coordinate with both hands and repeat this process." Under Nishi Ichisu's patient guidance, everyone was concentrating on weaving in an orderly manner.

They were all concerned about their fellow tribesmen who were getting wet in the rain outside, so they studied extra carefully and their hands moved extra skillfully.

The people led by Wu Lu learned the craft particularly quickly because they had been doing weaving work in the tribe for many years.

They followed Nishi Ichisu's movements closely, their fingers turning the fabric non-stop, and soon they had finished weaving a circle of the straw hat.

Round and round.

Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone focused on the straw hat in their hands.

Apart from the sound of raindrops outside the cave, only Nishi Ichiki's clear voice of explanation echoed in the cave.

Before they knew it, in addition to Nishi Ichisu and Uru, several other people had completed the making of straw hats.

Although these straw hats are a bit rough, they are better than nothing and at least they can provide some protection from the rain.

That's all they can do...

Seeing that a batch of hats had already been made, Wu Yu hurriedly asked someone to deliver these straw hats to the people outside.

The person who had finished weaving did not stop and continued weaving one by one.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he arranged for another team of people to go out and dig a canal so that they could replace the tribe leader and his men and allow them to take a break.

Not long after, the tribe leader and his group returned to the cave, all wet. Although they were in a very miserable state, there was hope in their eyes.

They moved quickly and the ditch had been dug halfway as planned.

The rain really flowed along the ditch into the stream as expected, and the large amount of water that had accumulated at the entrance of the tribal cave was significantly reduced.

The fact that the drains they had built worked was undoubtedly more of a morale boost than anything else.

The clan leaders then boasted about the straw hats made by Nishi Ichisu and others, which could protect their eyes from the rain, making their vision clearer and allowing them to move faster.

Nishi Ichiki raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "This is the result of the joint efforts of all our tribe members! Everyone contributed a little to the crisis of the tribe. Everyone was not afraid of being tired, helped each other, and put their efforts together, so that the ditch could be completed quickly."

When the tribesmen heard these words, bright smiles broke out on their faces, and the originally dull and depressing atmosphere of the tribe disappeared in an instant.

Next, the entire tribe followed the instructions in an orderly manner and worked together to dig the ditch.

Finally, before nightfall, this difficult task was successfully completed.

Looking at the rain water flowing down the ditch, everyone's anxious hearts gradually settled down.

A crisis was resolved just like that.

Even though dinner consisted of only a few sour green radish fruits, the tribesmen did not complain. On the contrary, they were delighted that they had successfully resolved the big trouble of the day, because they had once again protected their people and the tribe.

While eating the sour fruit and looking at these primitive people who were working hard to make a living, Xi Yiqi also felt sour in his heart.

I must find a way to ensure that my people have enough food to eat!

Almost everyone in the tribe had been busy all day today and was exhausted, so after eating the fruit, they soon fell into a deep sleep.

Before going to bed, I prayed secretly in my heart: I hope the rain will stop tomorrow.

midnight.

“Pickled chicken feet…so…delicious!”

【here we go again. 】

The system looked at Nishi Ichi, who was sleeping soundly with her flared hair, with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but wonder if the huge amount of power it had just received was really obtained because of her?
