Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

The next day, after the routine "greeting the sun" and breakfast, Qiu ordered Hechen, Ri, Yue, Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, Yu... and other 300 warriors to help Xiaoxing build the cave gate, and then led the team to hunt again.

After receiving the task last night, Xiao Xing spent the whole night thinking about it and planned to build four walls and three doorways. Each wall is about 35 meters long and 5 meters high. Each doorway is 4 meters wide and 3 meters high. The doors are double-leaf, and each door is 2 meters wide.

So according to the plan, Xiao Xing sent some people to Hongmeng River to carry stones, and some people followed him to build the wall. He was seen calling Xia Hechen, Ri, Yue... and others to dig the foundation of the wall, and then calling Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, Yu... and others to lay the stones, just like an engineer.

No one had ever seen a wall being built before, so men, women, old and young came out to see the novelty, and Hong'er and Lan'er especially liked to join in the fun.

"Brother Xing, building the cave gate is a huge project! I want to help too." Seeing that everyone was busy, Hong'er also wanted to join in.

"Yes, Brother Xing, I want to participate in one too." Lan'er followed.

"Hong'er, Lan'er, this is all strenuous work, you girls should just forget about it!" Xiaoxing moved a large stone and started stacking it, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Brother Xing, we can do it. We are not afraid of being tired." Hong'er continued to ask.

"Hong'er, since you insist on helping, please get me some water to drink!" Xiaoxing stopped what he was doing and said with a smile.

"Okay. Brother Xing, I'll go get some water right away." Hong'er agreed and went away happily skipping and jumping.

After a while, she came back with a bucket full of water. Xiaoxing took the bucket, drank it all, and said, "It feels so good! Thank you, Honger!"

When Chen saw Hong'er fetching water for Xiaoxing, he felt a little sour and said, "Hong'er, I'm a little thirsty too. Can you help me get some more water?"

"Okay! Brother Chen." Hong'er picked up the ladle and was about to go again.

At this time, Lan'er said, "Brother Chen, let me help you!" After that, she snatched the ladle from Hong'er's hand, turned around and ran away. Soon, Lan'er also got some water and handed it to Chen.

After Chen finished drinking, he touched his mouth and said, "Thank you, Lan'er!"

"Do you want to drink more? I'll make you another one." Lan'er seemed very excited.

"I've had enough." Chen waved his hand and joked, "If you drink any more, your stomach will burst."

"You don't want to drink, but I do!" Xia looked at them and interrupted, "Lan'er, go get me some water!"

"Brother Xia, if you want to drink, call Sister Xueer! I'm too lazy to make it for you!" Lan'er glanced at him and refused.

Xue'er was Xia's wife. She was taking care of the children in the cave at the time and of course had no time to help Xia fetch water.

The onlookers burst into laughter, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Girl, do you only fetch water for the person you like?"

Lan'er just looked at Xiaoxing and Chen laughing without saying anything.

Seeing that everyone wanted to drink water, Xiao Xing said to Hong'er and Lan'er, "Hong'er, Lan'er, didn't you just say you wanted to help? Now I'll give you the task of fetching water."

Since Xiaoxing had spoken, Hong'er and Lan'er no longer refused and agreed, "Okay, Brother Xing. Let's go get some water now."

After Hong'er and Lan'er fetched water, they sang for everyone. With their participation, everyone worked harder and built a solid wall in just one day.

After five days of continuous work, all four walls were built. The next step was to make the door. In ancient times, there were no wooden boards. Xiaoxing had an idea and cut a lot of bamboo, split the bamboo in half, and made a bamboo door. After the bamboo door was made, it was finally installed and tested. It was both strong and flexible. After a day of hard work, everyone finally finished the work.

In the evening, Qiu and the hunters came back. Qiu was delighted to see the finished cave door. He closed the bamboo door and found it was tightly sealed. No mouse could get in. Qiu gave Xiaoxing a thumbs up and looked very satisfied. He said, "Xiaoxing, this cave door can not only prevent invasion, but also be opened and closed easily. It's great!"

"Xiaoxing, you did something that we dared to think but not do. You really made a great contribution." Ling followed with endless praise.

"Thank you for the compliments, Cave Master and Uncle Ling. This is what I should do for the safety of the entire cave." Xiaoxing replied modestly.

Qiu stroked his white beard and said, "Xiaoxing, to commend your achievements, I will hold a celebration party for you tonight."

In the evening, just after everyone finished dinner, Qiu ordered everyone to go to the meeting place for a meeting, and then pulled Xiaoxing and Xia, Chen, Yue, Ri, Feng... and more than 20 people to the stage.

Qiu stroked his white beard, looked at the people below the stage, cleared his throat, and said, "My fellow citizens, today, Xiaoxing and the others have successfully built the cave entrance. From now on, there is no need to worry about sudden invasions by wild beasts, and the food and life safety of the people in the cave have been effectively guaranteed. This is a great and remarkable project."

At this point, Qiu patted Xiaoxing on the shoulder and said to him: "Xiaoxing, you have done a good thing for everyone and made a great contribution. On behalf of all the people in the cave, thank you!"

The East and West brothers in the audience looked as if they had been slapped in the face, their faces were filled with black lines. The others looked at Xing with new eyes, applauded, and followed suit to express congratulations and gratitude.

"Thank you, Cave Master. You are too kind. In fact, the credit belongs to all of us." Xiaoxing still said humbly.

"Xiaoxing, I didn't expect that you became so smart and capable after falling off the cliff. Now, you are a qualified warrior. You work hard, I am optimistic about you." Qiu said solemnly.

"Okay! Cave Master, I will try my best." Xiaoxing nodded vigorously.

The celebration party was over, and as soon as Xiaoxing and the others got off the stage, Hong'er and Lan'er came to greet them.

Chen seemed very excited. He punched Xiao Xing and congratulated him, "Xing, you are really good. Even the cave master praised you. Thank you."

"Brother Xing, you are now the smartest and most capable person, it's amazing." Hong'er said admiringly.

"Yes! Brother Xing, you are the most powerful person now." Lan'er was also very envious.

"Chen, Hong'er, Lan'er, thank you for your praise. Actually, it's not a big deal!" Xiaoxing said disapprovingly. In his previous life, the building was so tall that it reached the sky. Building a cave door was really not worth mentioning.

"Brother Xing, why did you suddenly become so smart and capable after you fell down?" Hong'er asked puzzledly.

"Hong'er, I know." Chen rushed to answer, "Because of this fall, his brain cells were activated, so he became smarter."

"Brother Chen, if that's the case, then you should also go to that cliff and fall down, and then become smarter." Hong'er said with a smile.

"It's so high, I don't dare. It would be the end if I fall to my death." Chen said.

These words made all three of them laugh. At this time, Lan'er asked again: "Brother Xing, I feel that you have not only become smarter, but you also always say things that we don't understand. What's wrong?"

"This, this..." Xiao Xing hesitated and pretended to be mysterious: "I'm telling you, you must not spread it. I don't know why I became smarter, maybe it's the protection of the gods. As for those words that I can't understand, they are all things I saw in my dream."

"Xing, what else did you see in your dream? Tell me quickly." Chen asked hurriedly.

"I also dreamed about what the future of mankind will look like. There will be tall buildings and asphalt roads. There will be cars running on the roads and planes flying in the sky. There will also be televisions and mobile phones that can see things thousands of miles away. There will also be beautiful clothes and all kinds of things, everything you can think of," Xiaoxing replied.

"Wow, the future world is so great. I wish I could go there." Chen said with infinite longing after listening to it.

"Chen, although primitive society is backward and monotonous, it has no money, no pressure, and no gap between the rich and the poor. You don't have to go to work every day and you can live a free life." Xiaoxing said excitedly: "Although the future world is good, you must have money. Only rich people can enjoy those high technologies. Poor people are still like us, living in caves and eating wild vegetables. And they can't even get married."

"Bah - what's the point of being advanced when we can't even find a wife?" Chen instantly felt that the future world was not good at all.

"Brother Xing, you dreamed of so many things, can you do them?" Hong'er asked excitedly.

"No." Xiao Xing spread his hands and said in embarrassment: "First, there is no material, and second, there is no technology. Even if it is to forge a steel knife or make a shirt, it is impossible."

"Oh, that's such a pity." Hong'er sighed.

Xiaoxing then told them some things about the future world, and Chen, Hong'er and Lan'er listened to them as if they were just fairy tales.

The four of them talked until late at night, and then went back to sleep.
