For the people of the tribe, it is a good thing to find chickens, but they suffer from insufficient rice to feed most of the jungle chickens, so they reluctantly had to kill most of the chickens and eat them with tears to serve as a day's rations .
The remaining few are used for breeding and are covered with baskets. The dog acts as a chicken watchdog, and it seems that it likes this job very much.
The old patriarch knew very well that the dog was definitely seeking revenge on the pheasants. You could understand their situation at that time by looking at the pecked wool on the lamb's buttocks.
Outside the shed, a group of bonfires appeared in the open space. The women divided themselves into groups and mixed the clay, gravel, shells, and yellow mud collected by the old people and young people in the past few days and placed them before the bonfire. , began making pottery.
The old people have their own experience, which is why when crossing the river, the few remaining warriors were willing to sacrifice themselves to send the old people across the river. The old people are the crystallization of wisdom. They know a lot, not just pottery and farming.
It is difficult for a tribe that does not value its elders to achieve long-term development, because the wisdom of the elders can save future generations from many detours.
The pottery had to be re-fired. You couldn't bring it with you and it would break when touched. It was such a chaotic time and the tribe was at a critical moment of life and death. There was no time to worry about the pottery.
Ruan Zai kicked the basket and saw that there were already children holding pottery that had just been made. It had no exquisite patterns and was ordinary. It was an indispensable living utensil for every household.
With everything waiting to be done, many things must be carried out in full swing. Since the young people have begun to cut down trees, fight with wild beasts, and hunt for food to ensure the survival of the tribe, the women and the elderly must also do what they can.
Inside the basket, the kidnapped fat chicken had to succumb to Akafang's lust. It squatted here and hatched eggs on the haystack. The chicken's head turned around, its feathers were fluffy and bulging. When asked what the egg looked like, the fat chicken immediately blew up its feathers and even stretched out its head to peck Yuzai's hand.
But this still did not stop Yan Zai from violating the law.
"Huh? What is this?"
The golden egg appeared in front of Yu Zai's eyes. Looking at the other two, they looked like ordinary grass eggs.
Why is there a recharge version of this native egg?
"Dog..."
"Woof woof!"
The dog wags its tail, always looking carefree.
Yuzai stared at Gouzi: "Where did you get this golden egg?"
The dog's head turned in the direction of the fat chicken, his ears moved, and he barked, indicating that the golden egg came from their nest.
Yuzai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Do fat chickens really have mutations? What kind of egg is this? It’s so bright and coquettish, it can’t be from Phoenix, right?
Can you become stronger by recharging?
Yu Zai looked at the fat chicken. At this time, the fat chicken had returned to its numb state and no longer pursued the matter of having its eggs removed.
Creak——
But at this moment, the golden egg in Yu Zai's hand suddenly shook.
The movement was not large, but Yu Zai naturally noticed it. After staring at it for a while, the golden egg did not shake again, as if the scene just now was a figment of imagination.
Yu Zai thought for a while and put the three eggs back under the fat chicken's belly.
"I wonder what will hatch..."
Yu Zai is more sensitive and worried about these special things. After all, there are too many strange and strange beasts in the mountains and seas.
The teenagers gathered together, and every day's work was indispensable, but seeing the place of residence changing every day, the teenagers built their own home with their own hands, that feeling, that sense of accomplishment, It was indeed very satisfying for them.
But today, some people have to separate and work with the old patriarch and concubine to ram the earth wall.
But some other preparations are needed.
Yu Zai directed the young men: "The soil in the northeast of the hill is yellow, bring it to me; bring me the leftover snail shells that everyone ate the past few days, and I will turn them into ashes; Ruan Tu, take people to Yanze and dig more river sand. Remember, the river sand is not silt, it is the area where you picked up grasshoppers. I saw the fine sand there last time and it was very good. Oh, there is also that place. Bring back more of those round river rocks, there must be more, and then take the log cart there, and don't go near the central area, so as not to provoke the old turtle."
This is necessary preparation work, and the shipping time is, for the time being, two days.
There was something meaningful in the eyes of the old patriarch: "Burned shellfish ashes, fine river sand, and thick yellow soil."
Yu Zai said: "This is called Sanhe Tu. By the way, does the patriarch know a kind of white hard stone? The kind that sheds dust."
The old patriarch shook his head, and Yu Zai also sighed: "It's a pity that we can't quarry stones for the time being. If there is such a stone, it should be much easier to use than the husk."
However, it is not absolute. After all, these worms are all strange beasts. Although they have no attack power, it does not mean that they are not easy to use.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. The teenagers were transporting supplies naked and sweating, but there was an extremely cheerful atmosphere among the crowd. They seemed to have endless energy. After Yan Zai burned those clam shells to ashes, , the next thing to do is to stir and beat these things.
First, the loess must be pounded finely to make it become mature soil, and then the three materials must be mixed. During this period, the loess must be continuously stirred with a mallet to make it fuse, and finally the loess must be piled for a period of time before it can be used.
Under the vigorous earth-pounding project, the teenagers worked hard!
During this period, over the past few days, the logging team has also accelerated the progress of logging! Because Yu Zai said that a large amount of wood will soon be needed to make planks and stakes!
"Wu, the stone tools and wooden boards you want."
"Is there any cane?"
"Yes, don't worry."
Block building technology appeared very early, but its large-scale application did not come until the Shang Dynasty. Before Emperor Shun, it was still concentrated in the hands of a small number of people in the north, and was even lost for a time.
But this thing is not an advanced skill after all. Even if it is lost, there will always be tribes that can reproduce it.
During the construction of the board building, the retaining boards must be erected first. The retaining boards on both sides are called stems, also known as plants. The retaining boards at the front are called frames. Of course, in this era, there are not so many twists and turns. Boards It's just a board, what are you doing with so many nouns?
When fixing, in order to prevent the soil retaining plate from moving, stakes (piles) must be erected outside the plate, and the plate must be tied tightly with ropes around the thin wooden piles.
The name of this rope is shortened.
So after the wooden boards such as frames and stems are tied and planted, the soil can be filled and tamped. The action of tamping is "building", hence the name "ban building".
When building high walls, scaffolding needs to be built outside. In short, it is very similar to high-rise buildings in later generations, but the procedure is very simplified...
But when this kind of earthen wall is made, the quality is absolutely good.
"I don't have a tamping pestle for the moment. I'll get someone to do it later. It's probably like this..."
Yu Zai told the old patriarch about the appearance of the tool, and the old patriarch called someone to introduce him to Yu Zai.
"There's no need to look back, just do it now, Wu. He is Guliang. He didn't like to talk before. Only in the past two days have I discovered that he is very good at building sheds. Now many new tools in the tribe are broken, and they are also looking for Guofou." He repairs it.”
Yuliang seemed a little shy, lowered her head, and said "Witch".
Ruanzai patted him and told him about the pestle. It was very simple to make.
After hearing this, Yu Liang thought about it in his mind and said to Yu Zai: "Soon... Wu, I will give it to you in a while. I will go and get someone to do it now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Yu Zai asked Yu Liang to do it. Afterwards, the young men who stayed behind to do the work of ramming the earth took off the hemp and animal skins on their bodies. Most of the stone tools the old patriarch got were the big stones that had been preliminary polished. The young people They pushed up the wooden planks, placed soil in the middle, used the wooden wall as the inner wall, and began to build a new line of defense on the outside.
The teenagers lifted the big stone, raised it above their heads, and then smashed it down. This was the first block building area. They pressed the wall foundation first, so they dug down a little more. The teenagers stood in the pit and smashed it. Earthy.
The action of ramming the wall began to go on the right track, and Ruanzai asked the old patriarch: "Although this land is rotten, there should be small tribes, right?"
"Have the people who have been out clearing land in the past two days found any traces of other tribes' activities?"
The old patriarch shook his head: "Not yet."
Yu Zai pursed her lips: "If there are any, I would like to borrow some good seeds from them..."
He took out a handful of seeds from his hand, including millet and rice.
After thinking about it, the first field will be cultivated soon. After the tree stumps are pulled out, the burned land full of fertilizer can be used for farming. Time waits for no one. It seems that this first batch of food must be cultivated by witches. It can only be planted using techniques.
But these seeds are really too few, so I thought that if there is a small tribe, I can communicate with them and exchange some seeds... But since I haven't found them yet, there is nothing I can do. .
