Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15460

15458. Chapter 15458 Wooden Drum

After eating the roasted snake meat, Shi Jie said, “Everyone take turns to rest. At least one person should be on guard, otherwise it will be too unsafe. Our cultivation has been sealed and our strength is greatly reduced. We must be extra careful.” None of them objected. Shi Jie arranged the order of everyone’s guard, and then they began to rest.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, several people got up early, ate some wild fruits and the remaining snake meat, and then they continued on their way. This time they not only had to move forward, but also had to pick some wild animals or find some other food. At the same time, they had to arrange someone to knock on the trees specifically. They found that this method could indeed help them find companions.

After walking for about an hour, they heard a response, and they hurried over. They found that the other side was also a small team, with six people. The two teams merged into one, and Shi Jie was still the captain. The team continued to move forward. During this day, they actually encountered quite a few teams. By the evening, their team had grown to more than a hundred people, which was already a lot of people. Moreover, they found quite a few wild animals along the way, so they had dinner.

In the following days, they met more and more people. Finally, on the tenth day, their team had grown to 10,000 people. They also had a captain. Now they could be regarded as a large army. At the same time, they also walked out of the woods. As soon as they walked out of the woods, they found that there was a beach not far away, and on that beach, there was another team. This team had several thousand people, and the two sides naturally joined together.

After they got together, the two captains and several sub-captains gathered together and discussed what they should do next. After all, they had a mission this time. Shi Jie was a sub-captain, and he was of course qualified to attend this meeting. One of the two captains was named Ji Ling, and the other was named Qu Guang.

Ji Ling was in his thirties today. He was a physical cultivator with very strong strength. Although his cultivation was sealed now, his strength was still not weak with his body. Qu Guang was a sword cultivator, and his strength was also very good. However, his cultivation was sealed now, and he did not have a long sword in his hand. However, he made a wooden sword by himself. Although it was a wooden sword, no one dared to look down on him. Sword cultivators sometimes rely on sword intent, not cultivation.

Ji Ling glanced at a few people, and then said: “I called everyone here today to ask everyone, what should we do next? Do you have any ideas? If you have any, please say it all.” After that, he glanced at everyone and waited for their answers.

Several people looked at each other, but no one spoke. Ji Ling was not in a hurry and waited for everyone to speak. At this time, Shi Jie said, “Captain, let me tell you my thoughts. I think there are two things we should do most now. First, find other people, or let others gather here. Second, we have so many people now, we must do a good job of division of labor and then establish a base, because our ultimate goal is to leave here, and this is a good place. It is close to the woods. If we want to leave the island, we must build a ship. It is close to the woods here, so it will be more convenient for us to cut down trees and build ships, but we must divide the labor. Someone must be responsible for collecting food and water. At the same time, we must build some places to live. We can’t let everyone We have been living in the open air. If it rains, it will be hard for everyone. So I think these two things are the most important things now. “

When Shi Jie said this, Ji Ling and Qu Guang all nodded. Qu Guang said, “I agree. Building a base, finding food, and building a place to live so that everyone can survive is one of our most important things. As for letting other people gather here, this is also necessary. We have so many people now. I think we can send some people to look for people around. As long as we find them, let them gather here. In this way, our people will increase. When everyone gathers together, we can find a way to build a boat and leave here.” Everyone nodded, indicating that they agreed with Qu Guang’s words.

Shi Jie said, “We can light a fire and put some wet grass on the fire. This will produce a lot of thick smoke. If other people see the smoke, they will know that there are people here, and they will gather here. At the same time, we will send people to look around and find other people.” Everyone listened to his words and nodded, thinking that what Shi Jie said made sense.

Ji Liang also agreed with Shi Jie’s words. He said, “How about this, let’s send people to look around to see if there is any place that is suitable for building a base. It’s best to build the base next to a water source so that it will be more convenient for us to get water. Besides, the terrain should be higher. I’ve noticed that the tide rises from time to time these days, so we must be careful about this.” Several people nodded. Ji Liang said, “Okay, let’s assign the tasks. Shi Jie, you take a team to check the situation around and find other people. Captain Liu, you take your people to look around and see where is suitable for building a base. The others, all go find food now. We must store more food.” Everyone responded, then stood up and started to act immediately. They had all received military training, so there was no problem with their mobility, so they started to act immediately after receiving the order.

Shi Jie gathered his team and set off. They picked a direction and walked directly there. After walking for about two hours, they didn’t see anyone. It was no wonder that they couldn’t see anyone. There were woods all around them. Even if those people were very close to them, they couldn’t see anyone. If they entered the woods, it would not be easy to find the enemy. When he thought of this, Shi Jie couldn’t help but frowned and stopped. The people who followed him also stopped. Then Shi Jie turned to everyone and said, “Everyone wait a moment. It’s too slow for us to find people like this, and it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. I don’t think this will work. Does anyone have any idea to make something that can make a loud noise?”

When everyone heard him say this, they were all stunned. Then one of them raised his hand and said, “Captain, I thought of something. I like to read some miscellaneous books. I remember seeing something in a miscellaneous book called a wooden drum. This wooden drum is made of wood. When it is struck, it can make a loud sound. It is used by some primitive tribes to transmit sound. This wooden drum is not complicated to make, but it requires a big tree. The bigger the better.”

Shi Jie nodded and said, “Okay, then let’s make a wooden drum and see the effect. “Let’s go and find a suitable tree.” Everyone responded, and then they entered the woods. Under the guidance of the man who knew the wooden drum, they used a stone axe to chop down a big tree. The diameter of the tree was nearly three feet. Then they cut off a section of more than two meters long from the tree, and then carried the tree outside. The man began to process the tree, first removing the bark, and then opening sound grooves and sound windows on the tree. Then he took out a big wooden stick and knocked on the wooden drum. A dong sound was heard, and the sound was heard very far away.

Everyone’s eyes lit up, but that man frowned, then said: “The wood is a little bit bad, and the wood is still wet, so the sound can’t be transmitted as far as I thought. Now we can only use it as a makeshift.”

Shi Jie said: “Okay, that’s enough. Come on, a few people, beat the drum together, right here. Brother Xin, you take ten people and go back to the army. Tell the two captains about this and ask them to make such a wooden drum as well. The others go forward, and we will go forward for a distance and then make a wooden drum like this. In this way, if there is really someone in the woods, You can hear the sound now. At the same time, arrange a few people to go into the woods, pick up some firewood, get some wet branches, light a fire, and put the wet branches on it, so that it will produce a lot of thick smoke so that people can see it. “

Everyone responded and immediately started to act separately. Shi Jie left ten people here and asked them to keep beating the wooden drum, while he led the rest of the people and walked forward. After walking forward for about an hour, they could still hear the sound of the wooden drum faintly, but it was not very clear. Shi Jie stopped and asked everyone to make another wooden drum.

After the wooden drum was made, Shi Jie asked them to start beating the wooden drum again, but this time they only beat it for about an hour, and they stopped because it was getting dark and they had to go back. After Shi Jie was ready to go back, he told the two captains that they were going to stay outside for two more days tomorrow, otherwise, it would be too late to go back as soon as it got dark.

By the time they returned to the camp, it was completely dark. There were piles of fires burning in the camp, and everyone formed circles and sat around the fires. Shi Jie arranged for the others to eat, but he found Ji Ling and Qu Guang.

The two men were sitting together discussing something when Shi Jie walked over, saluted and said, “Captain Ji, Captain Qu.”

The two men heard his voice and turned to look at him. When they saw it was Shi Jie, Ji Ling said, “Are you back? Come on, come and have something to eat.” Shi Jie responded and sat down next to the two men. He picked up a piece of roasted meat and started eating. Then he said to them, “Captains, I’m here to discuss something with you. After we go out tomorrow, we won’t come back and will stay outside for a few days. Otherwise, running back and forth like this every day will waste too much time. We’ll stay outside and we can light a fire at night and set off smoke and beat drums during the day. This may let more people know that we are here, and then everyone will come here to gather with us. What do you think?” After Shi Jie finished speaking, he looked at the two men and didn’t forget to eat a bite of meat.

Ji Ling nodded and said, “Okay, after you go out tomorrow, you can come back whenever you want. We have found a place to build a base today. It is not far from here. You can see the base when you come back and don’t have to worry about not being able to find us. The wooden drum you made today is really good. When you hit it, the sound is huge and can be heard from far away. I believe that many people will come here tomorrow when they hear the sound.”
