Several days passed, and the weather became colder and colder.
As the shaman of the Qingque tribe, with the highest status, Yang Cheng now has no morning to speak of.
He spent the entire morning under the covers.
In this regard, everyone in the Qingque tribe agreed that it was nothing and Yang Cheng had privileges.
"call……"
Yang Changcheng breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the bed with difficulty.
The beast-eared girls next to them all had their own things to do and were already busy.
There was no cotton in primitive society, and the animal skin quilt alone was not warm. Moreover, without the animal-eared mother to warm the quilt, the temperature inside dropped quickly.
After getting up, Yang Cheng took a shower and then came to the entrance of the cave.
Here, there is a pile of matches, and Xia Zheng is busy doing something next to the fire.
Hearing the footsteps, Xia turned his head and saw Yang Cheng, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Wu, you're awake, come here, this is freshly cooked meat porridge."
In the past few days, Xia has figured out Yang Cheng's routine of getting up. Every time at noon, Xia would specially heat up the boiled meat next to the fire at the entrance of the cave and feed it to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng took the pottery bowl from Xia's hand and took a sip.
The warmth of the cooking meat flowed into his stomach, immediately making him feel comfortable.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Yang Cheng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Xia, are you alone? Where are Yan Lin and the others?"
Normally, not only Xia would be here, but the other beast-ear girls would also be here waiting for Yang Chengqi, and then they would start walking around the tribe with him.
Xia responded: "Oh, the tribe's first house will be built soon. Yan Lin and the others went over to take a look."
"So fast?"
Yang Cheng was a little surprised. When he returned to the cave yesterday, the wall of the first house had just been built. In this morning, all the houses were successfully built?
Xia nodded and said, "Well, everyone is working very seriously!"
"Well, let's go take a look."
Yang Cheng drank the last bite of the boiled meat in the pottery bowl, and then walked out of the cave with Xia.
As soon as we walked out of the cave, the heavy snow outside and the strong wind hit our faces.
"hiss……"
The cold wind and heavy snow are so abominable that they go straight into people's necks.
Immediately, Yang Chengcheng couldn't bear the coldness.
"Witch, give it!"
Seeing Yang Cheng's body shivering from the cold, Xia immediately took a fur coat and put it on him.
Xia explained: "This is the skin of the seventh-grade ferocious beast Black Claw Bear. It was accidentally hunted by Sunset Yanhu and his quarrying team."
"Um."
Yang Cheng nodded. After putting on the bearskin coat, the cold wind was blocked, and the cold that made his body shiver was blocked out.
From the heavy snow in front of him and the cold brought by the strong wind, Yang Cheng was sure that he was not living in the south. After all, when he was on Earth, Yang Cheng had never seen such heavy snow in the south.
But now he is in a different world, where bamboos and trees grow together. Whether he is in the north or the south cannot be determined just by the heavy snowfall.
"This world is so amazing."
Yang Cheng looked at the heavy snow and thought to himself, looking forward to the outside world even more.
He has already planned to go to the outside world to explore again after planting the millet every spring.
The cave is not far from the place where the house is built in the open space, but the heavy snow obscures the sight that can be clearly seen on weekdays.
Yang Cheng and Xia got closer to see the situation near the housing area.
And what reached their ears first were the chants shouted enthusiastically by everyone.
"One two, one two!"
"Work harder!"
Next to the first big house, I saw everyone gathered around, working enthusiastically.
It was a snowy day, and he was only wearing a thin piece of animal skin clothing.
"Wu, you're here."
Hongya's sharp eyes below saw where the heavy snow fell, and Yang Cheng came over with Xia.
Yang Cheng nodded slightly as a greeting and asked, "What stage are you at now?"
"Witch, we are erecting the roof and we can lay the tiles soon!"
Hongya pointed to the side excitedly.
Yang Cheng looked in the direction of his finger. There were already piles of tiles there. There was no need to count them in detail. Just by taking a quick look, he could estimate that there were thousands of tiles.
These tiles are the result of Lulu leading several new tribesmen, who woke up early and stayed in the dark these past few days.
The quality of the earthen kiln was much better than expected. After many days of burning, it was not damaged. Instead, the inner walls showed a glossy glaze.
This surprised both Yang Cheng and Lulu.
"Hongya, help me quickly and throw up the wood below."
At this time, Kuraishi, who was building a roof above the roof, shouted down.
"okay."
Hongya responded, then took a few steps and picked up a log half a meter in diameter and more than three meters long from the ground.
Then with a slight force on his hand, the log weighing hundreds of kilograms was thrown up.
The Cangshi above seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He stretched out his hand and took it gently, and the wood was caught in his hand.
After receiving the wood, Cangshi turned around, looked for a location on the roughly erected roof, then placed the wood up and moved it slightly.
Then a slight "click" sound was heard, and the log was fixed and stopped moving.
Cangshi shook it a few more times to make sure that the log could not be easily shaken, so he shouted to Hongya below:
"Okay, Hongya, throw up the next log."
"okay!"
After Hongya responded, he threw the next log up.
After Cangshi caught it, he placed the wood in the correct position and fixed it firmly like he did before.
You may be wondering why the round wood can be easily fixed without nails.
it's actually really easy.
Yang Cheng considered the problem of beams before building the house.
When he asked the totem warriors to build the beams, they specially made a mortise and tenon structure on the round wood used for the beams.
The mortise and tenon structure is a commonly used structure in ancient Chinese wooden buildings. This structure is also often used in the production of furniture, such as the simplest wooden square stool. Its characteristic is that no nails are used on the object, and the mortise and tenon is used to strengthen the object, which reflects the Chinese style. Ancient culture and wisdom.
The hole in the wood for installing the tenon is called a mortise or tenon.
The process of making a mortise and tenon structure is not so smooth.
From the very beginning, Yang Cheng thought of using the mortise and tenon structure to build the beams. After all, when there are no nails, the mortise and tenon structure is the most suitable and strongest.
But soon Yang Chengcheng encountered a problem.
It is easy to cut down the wood. The totem warriors are all strong men. They can just use an ax to cut down the trees. At most, the stone ax will be damaged.
It doesn't matter.
There are a lot of stones, so if the stone ax is broken, just make a new one.
But making a mao eye is different. The mao eye requires drilling a hole in the wood, not chopping it down. This is a delicate job and cannot be done with brute force.
Stone and wooden tools are not sharp, and bone tools are fragile.
Fortunately, Yang Cheng had previous experience and did not get into trouble.
After the drill bit used for polishing stone tools broke several times, Yang Cheng gave up the idea of polishing stone tools to be very sharp.
No matter how sharp the stone tools are, they can't be as sharp as the iron tools.
Yang Cheng changed his mind, thought about it carefully, and soon came up with a solution.
As the saying goes, fire and water have no mercy.
This sentence is not only useful for humans, but also for animals and plants.
Since you can't make a hole out of a round log with stone tools, you can use fire to make a hole!
Yang Cheng first used a bone knife to circle the area of the size to be made, and then removed the outer skin of this area.
After the brown wood outer skin is removed, the light yellow interior is exposed.
Trees are generally like this. The outer skin is thick and hard, resistant to fire and water, and the inside is brittle. The effect is more obvious when encountering fire and water.
After removing the outer skin of the round log that circled the area, Yang Cheng directly used flame magic to burn the eyes.
After such a long time, Yang Cheng has taken another step forward in his research and improvement of fire witchcraft.
Not only can you control the power of fire witchcraft, but you can also control the duration of fire witchcraft.
For example, if Yang Cheng is asked to release a fifth-grade totem warrior now, he will have to retreat three feet. A powerful fireball can be used, or he can be asked to release a lighter's flame.
Therefore, under Yang Cheng's flame technique, the eye was burned through quickly, and the speed was much faster than drilling it out with an iron tool.
