The tribe still lives in the cave, but as the scope of activities becomes larger and larger, the cave is gradually becoming insufficient. In addition, the tribe suffered a big loss from the attack by wild beasts. It seems that defense facilities must be put on the agenda. .
It’s not too difficult to make a fence. It’s just a matter of collecting some wood and inserting it around.
There is a vast forest surrounding the cave, so it is very easy to get.
It happened that Song Xuan also disliked that the square at the entrance of the cave was too small, so he simply started working on it this time.
Cutting down small branches with a stone ax is relatively easy, but cutting down trees is a bit unsightly. The thicker trees here cannot be hugged by one person, and Song Xuan can't think of any good ideas.
But soon, Teng Snake and the other savages taught Song Xuan a lesson.
"Hehe... God, it looks unpleasant. I will burn this tree down in less than half a day!"
Looking at Song Xuan who was a little stunned, Shi Meng finally felt that he was useful for once.
After knowing that Song Xuan was worried about cutting down the tree, Shi Meng took action without saying much.
I saw a few people working together to cut several gaps around a tree. They picked up burning charcoal from the fire and stuffed it into the gaps mixed with rosin that usually aids combustion.
At the same time, he kept blowing into the gap. After a while, the gap had expanded in a circle. The cooperation of several people was really fast.
Safety is the top priority in the tribe now. After all, if you can't protect it, no matter how much you hunt or catch more fish, you will just make a wedding dress for others in the end.
So except for a few children who were separated to catch fish, everyone else was busy burning trees and cutting branches.
It is not easy to burn down a big tree. It requires the cooperation of dozens of people to get it, so it must not be wasted. Everything from the trunk to the leaves can be used.
The thick trunks are reserved for the tribe to build houses in the future. Although the tribe cannot spare any money now, everyone misses the days when they used to live in houses.
It is warm and comfortable, and has a lot of privacy. Unlike now, as long as everyone is in attendance, at night, the music of life begins to play in the cave, one after another, which greatly affects sleep.
After the thinner branches were cut, they were used to make the fence. In order to ensure that it was strong enough, the part nailed into the soil was thirty to forty centimeters long, and a lot of stones were moved from the ground for support.
"Chief...look!...fish!"
Seeing the children carrying the fish back to the tribe one by one obviously greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Shi Meng and others, and their movements sped up a lot.
After three days of busy work, the fence was completed. The tribe has a small population, so the area of the fence is not too large. It is about fifty or sixty meters long and only thirty or forty meters wide. Even if a house needs to be built later, it will be small. That's almost enough.
Perhaps out of hatred for wild beasts stealing food, Shi Meng also arranged many traps around it after the completion, such as wooden spikes, pits, nooses, etc., although the power may not be enough. , but we can’t let them come too easily later.
For Meng and the others, setting these traps is easy. During normal hunting, they would also set some traps on the paths that wild beasts must pass through.
Except that it is a little troublesome to set up, the harvest is still possible, basically similar to direct hunting.
These traps also played a big role. On the second day after the traps were set up, several of them were triggered. Unfortunately, the nooses were bitten off, leaving only hair on the ground. It seems that after being trapped, they were Rescued out.
At this time, the hunting team was very motivated, as if they wanted to use all they had learned throughout their lives.
"God's envoy...this, good!"
“…%…￥&%”
Seeing that everyone was very confident in their traps, Song Xuan felt relieved. Everything needed to set up the traps was also around, and this kind of technical work could only be left to them.
After several days of recuperation, Shitou finally passed the dangerous period. Apart from being unable to move, he was no different from ordinary people. He just lay in the tribe eating and drinking for free, which made him feel a little ashamed.
Fortunately, although everyone was in the tribe, the harvest was not small. In addition, Shitou took turns to comfort him, which allowed Shitou to rest assured.
Although we haven't been there since the last wild beast attack, the well-constructed fence still gives everyone a great sense of security.
Due to the great threat, the current fence is stronger than that in the previous tribe. Even an adult cannot easily knock it down.
After finishing the construction in the tribe, Shi Meng led the hunting team into the vast forest again, but this time he had a clearer direction. The main target was the wild beasts around the tribe. Even if he could not hunt them all, he would still have to hunt them all. Drive as far away as possible.
It is still too dangerous to let them stay around the tribe. Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against thieves? This is the reason.
I was fully prepared when I went out this time. In addition to taking the best weapons in the tribe, I also brought some armor. Most of these armors were sewn from animal skins and would be pinched in special parts. Put some wood chips on it to provide some protection in case of danger.
"God's envoy... this is so inconvenient!"
"Yes, yes, it looks stiff when you wear it!"
But after experiencing the last large-scale attack by the herd, everyone was still frightened, and if a few more people were injured, it would have a big impact on the operation of the tribe, so after learning that the tribe had these things, Song Xuan was also semi-tough Everyone is required to wear it.
Aside from the injured stone, the tribe is now back to its previous state.
Song Xuan did not help with fishing or digging tree roots. Instead, he asked Shi Yan about the pottery situation in the tribe.
As the chief manager of the tribe, he is more aware of these things.
In addition to one and a half bowls and a half jars, the existing pottery in the tribe only has a few pots, which are not enough in terms of quantity or quality.
"God... God's envoy, I don't know how to do this either."
Facing Song Xuan's inquiry, Shi Yan could only answer awkwardly.
Song Xuan scratched his head, also a little embarrassed. Although he was a modern man, he only knew a little about the firing of ceramics. Although he knew the general direction, it would still take a lot of effort to make it.
Whether it is the choice of soil, the firing temperature, or even the construction of the pottery kiln, it all needs to be explored. Just when Song Xuan was at a loss, the stone that had been lying on it spoke:
"God's envoy...I have seen%...￥%..."
Maybe because he was nervous, Song Xuan didn't understand any of the original words behind it, but fortunately Shi Yan helped with the translation, and he found out that Shi Shi had stayed in the Wuyu tribe for a while before, and had seen Wuyu tribe either intentionally or unintentionally. How the Yu tribe made pottery.
