"It's time to light the fire!" Yang Cheng said.
Hearing his words, Yan Lin, who had been waiting nearby, immediately squatted down and rubbed the small wooden stick back and forth on the dry firewood.
She was getting more and more skilled at making fire now, and the small stick was turned into an unclear afterimage by her. In less than a minute, a pile of flames appeared on the dry wood.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng felt lucky and praised his wit.
When Dekui taught Qiuye and Qiucao before, Yang Cheng asked Xia to teach, not Yan Lin, otherwise the Qiuye sisters must have felt that they were at a huge disadvantage!
When the fire started, Yang Cheng stopped causing trouble and took the burning branches from Yan Lin's hand. Yang Cheng approached the four gaps left just now and lit them one by one.
Because when filling, Yang Cheng had people specially crush the withered grass leaves because they would not burn too fast.
After Yang Cheng put the branch in, he just watched some small withered grass and leaves slowly burning, emitting light smoke, but there was no open flame.
Seeing this, unlike others who were anxious, Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. This was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve.
The hay and leaves do not burn all at once, but slowly, which can keep more heat in the pit and the temperature will not change too much.
After observing for a while and confirming that the fire would not go out, Yang Cheng sealed the four ignition ports with mud, leaving a small hole less than half a centimeter in diameter between them for ventilation.
At this time, the flame inside will burn slower.
"Okay, everyone can disperse." Yang Cheng clapped his hands and said.
After hearing this, three question marks slowly popped up in everyone's heads.
"Wu, is this the end?" Yan Lin was very puzzled and said anxiously.
"That's right, it will take shape the day after tomorrow. Let's come over and take a look at it then." Yang Cheng said: "Let them burn here first, and everyone can go and do whatever they need to do."
Of course, everyone can't wait until the day after tomorrow, everyone wants to know the result.
After working so hard for so long, I thought I could set off firecrackers, but I tell you that this is New Year’s Eve and you can only set off firecrackers on New Year’s Eve.
But there was no way. The elderly and children in the Living Department did not stay here longer. There were still many things they needed to do in the tribe, such as making animal skin clothes and animal skin shoes, picking wild fruits, boiling water...
Three of the five beast-eared girls were following behind Yang Cheng. Only Yan Lin and Xing were still unwilling to give up, squatting beside the mound of sealed soil and watching with big eyes.
Look at the two of them looking aggrieved and pitiful.
Yang Cheng sighed secretly, walked back and said, "Okay, you two don't squat here anymore, I'll teach you a game!"
He thought it was a small game that could bring some distractions to the tribe.
In the past, the tribe had been worrying about food. Now that there is enough food, everyone can relax appropriately and combine work and rest.
"game?"
The two beast-eared girls suddenly became interested, with their eyes wide open, and their attention immediately shifted to the game Yang Cheng was talking about.
After all, the two beast-eared girls still like to have fun.
Although they said they were making pottery embryos these days, in their eyes, Yang Cheng was still leading everyone to play in the mud.
"Witch, what game?" Yan Lin asked curiously.
Not only her, but others were also very curious.
Yang Cheng smiled and led the five beast-eared girls towards Yanhu.
At the northern end of the clearing, Yanhu and seven or eight other totem warriors were cutting wood and carrying wood back to the clearing.
Trees that were cut down on the ground were much easier to bully than trees standing in the soil. They were knocked down to the ground one by one by the totem warriors, completely showing their mercy.
In the past few days, Yang Cheng was leading everyone to make pottery embryos, and Yanhu and the others did not rest.
And with the spirit-boosting witch dominoes, they are very efficient. They can place more than fifty trees a day without any problem. Now there are about two hundred untreated large trees placed in this open space.
Yanhu and his spear were carrying a tree that was twice as big as the two of them combined. They were talking and laughing, and they didn't feel tired at all.
Seeing Yang Cheng greeting him, he asked curiously: "Wu, why are you here?"
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Come here and make a toy for gaming."
"Toy?"
Their eyes also lit up.
Yang Cheng nodded, then directly found a tree, commanded Yan Hu and the spear to cut it off sixty meters from the bottom, thus obtaining a short wooden pier.
Then let two people use stone axes to sharpen the upward side of the wooden pillar, so that a wooden stake with a thick bottom and a sharp top appears.
Yang Cheng placed the wooden stake far away, and asked Yanhu and Spear to take down a wooden wheel with a cross-section of 20 centimeters from the tree, and hollow out the middle with stones.
If these engineering quantities were placed on the earth, without machines and iron tools, I'm afraid it would take half a day to complete them.
However, in the hands of the totem warrior, who was extremely strong, he just used a stone to push it hard, and the middle of the wooden wheel was suddenly pierced. Then he took a bone knife made of the hard bones of the ferocious beast and cut through the hole. Trim to both sides.
Soon, a hollow wooden wheel weighing about half a kilogram appeared.
Looking at the wooden wheel in their hands, and then at the wooden pillars placed in the distance by Yang Cheng, Yanhu and Yanlin understood clearly without Yang Cheng having to say anything.
Immediately, they started playing, using the wooden wheels in their hands to set wooden blocks in the distance.
This game is called horseshoe throwing. It is an outdoor competitive sport that can be played by a single player, or between two people or two teams. They take turns throwing horseshoes to two wooden stakes.
On Earth, it is already an official modern sport with its own specific rules.
Although this game is very simple, just throw.
But primitive people have never seen it before, and they soon became addicted, and everyone had a great time playing it.
At first, Yan Lin and Yan Hu fought for the wooden wheel in his hand to play with, but later they couldn't grab it, so they simply cut the wood themselves and made wooden wheels to play with.
When she finished making the wheel, Yan Hu suddenly stopped playing. He shook his head and felt that the wooden wheel in his hand was too light. He was a totem warrior and could easily throw the wooden block even if it was placed thirty meters away. Go in.
So Yanhu chopped down a giant tree that was several times larger, with a diameter of three meters.
Yanhu collected materials from this giant tree and made wooden pillars and wooden wheels weighing ten kilograms. He weighed them and felt that they felt good, so he went to the side to compete with spears and started throwing them.
The other totem warriors who were cutting down the tree, after a long time passed, found that Yan Hu and Qiu had not returned. Thinking that something dangerous had happened, they hurried over and saw Yan Hu and Qiu playing horseshoes.
immediately……
They also joined in, and there was no one working hard in the entire open space.
