In order to ensure the quality of the main hall, bamboo was naturally not within the scope of everyone's consideration. All the wood that had been saved before was used. The four walls alone consumed more than half of the inventory.
After finding the bamboo, everyone completely let go. After all, in the previous plan, the house in the middle was not designed to be so big.
Densely packed wood forms the skeleton of the house, even the flesh and blood is contracted. If you don’t care that there are still gaps between the wood due to insufficient standards, moving in now is not a problem.
Just as Shi Meng was leading his men to lay the roof, mud had already begun to be plastered on the walls all around. This was all newly dug yellow mud, and some people even suggested using the silt from the river directly.
It was immediately rejected by Song Xuan. Although the mud was easy to use and could be fished out from the river, the smell was too strong. Song Xuan didn't want his house to smell like mud.
The yellow mud is mixed with a lot of chopped thatch, so that it has a certain toughness after drying, which is much stronger than pure yellow mud.
Not only the walls, but also the roof was covered with a thick layer of grass mud. Dozens of people worked for two days to build the house. A simple mortise and tenon structure was even used between the main beams, which can be said to be very impressive. of firmness.
After the construction was completed, the grass and mud still needed to be dried and the ground had to be compacted again. There were quite a few processes that needed to be done. However, Teng She's main task at present was to build the house as quickly as possible, so he just lit a few fires in the house. Use the heat of the fire to slowly dry the grass mud from the inside out.
It is much faster to build a house for normal living. After the pillars are braced, pillars are inserted around them. Although the bamboo is more than half a meter deep into the ground, it is relatively thin after all, so it is relatively fast to build.
All the houses are of uniform specifications, with a rope as high as one person drawn in a circle around the pillars. Although the area is not very large, it is not a big problem for a family to live.
After all, everyone just sleeps there, and everyone doesn't have too many personal belongings. A bachelor like Song Xuan can even have a lot of free space.
A dozen people working together can build a house in a day. However, the tribe has limited manpower, so they can only build a house and a half in a day.
Fortunately, the total demand was not much. After working hard for more than half a month, more than a dozen houses were built in front of the cave where Teng She originally lived. It finally looked like a primitive tribe.
Backing the cave, there are more than a dozen rooms in a semicircle, surrounding the two larger ones in the middle. The largest room is of course the one built at the beginning. It has a large area and naturally has more functions. Daily life, Meetings and even sacrifices were held here.
The smaller one was not in the plan at first, but later Song Xuan thought there was a room to store some commonly used tools. After all, the cave was still a bit too cold in winter, and the building materials were sufficient, so he simply built it at once.
As for the cave, it doesn't have much use now, but it has allowed Teng Snake and the others to go through the most difficult period. Everyone still has deep feelings for it, so it has not been abandoned directly. There are still some Teng Snakes stored in it. Snake's family background.
After the last house was built, light snow fell in the sky at the right time, which was very suitable for the occasion. Fortunately, it didn't last long and it cleared up again soon.
"Angel! Hahaha, it's snowing!"
Holding the melted snow seeds, Shi Meng said excitedly.
Building a house has been everyone's biggest obsession after the exile. Everyone is very excited to be able to build it before winter really comes.
In fact, the house for living has been completed two days ago. The construction in the past few days is mainly used as a redundancy. After all, according to the rules of Teng She, one has to live alone when he becomes an adult. Of course, the kind of cave he used to live in The social life in China is naturally not included in this.
And now Teng She is also expanding her social circle, and when guests come, they have to have a house to live in, but no one wants to make people laugh at her again.
So today is the first day for everyone to move out of the cave. All the houses built before have been dried and compacted, and the animal skin door curtains have been prepared long ago. They can be used as long as they are hung up.
In order to keep the door warm and airtight in winter, the door curtain has three layers and is very thick.
In order to celebrate the move, it is natural to have a lot of food. Although there has been no hunting or fishing in the tribe for the past twenty days, the food accumulated before is enough for everyone to eat for several months, so there is no need. Worry about food.
A dozen fish kept in the small ditch were also caught, all weighing seven or eight kilograms. However, the ones that could be raised were naturally big fish, and those that were too small would be digested on the same day.
Although there is no fresh meat, the temperature has been relatively low recently. The small animals occasionally encountered when cutting down trees have been stored with a little treatment. Now they taste pretty good. A fat sheep, a few rabbits and hedgehogs are enough for everyone. Let's share a meal.
"Thank God!"
After everyone shouted in unison, they began to share the food. This was considered a small pre-meal etiquette of Teng She. Of course, it was only taken so seriously when it was more solemn. Normally everyone looked like hungry wolves, so naturally they didn't. People are so particular.
However, after everyone got the food today, they were not in a hurry to stuff it into their mouths. Even the most eager children held the bowls with their eyebrows down and did not move.
Song Xuan didn't know what they were going to do for a while. After all, this was not in line with everyone's usual style, so he wondered in his heart:
"Is there any other ceremony?"
After everyone had divided the food, they all raised their bowls at the same time, faced Song Xuan, and knelt down respectfully. Under the leadership of Shi Meng, they shouted in unison:
"God's Envoy! God's Envoy! God's Envoy!"
Regardless of Song Xuan's confused look, everyone started eating happily, but their eyes would look at Song Xuan from time to time, full of respect.
Only then did Song Xuan realize that everyone was giving him a surprise. Although he would shout like this normally, this formality seemed to be his first time since arriving at the Soaring Snake Tribe.
Looking at everyone, Song Xuan's eyes became a little moist. Everything he did was worth it.
The main hall was large enough. After eating, everyone started dancing around the fire. Song Xuan had been here for so many days, so he was familiar with this simple dance.
I usually feel "shameful" and have never participated. Today, I may have been moved by everyone's actions. After eating, I couldn't help but join in. Dancing around the fire seemed to have a unique flavor.
Song Xuan's first winter in Tengshe finally arrived in a warm atmosphere.
