Soon, after the meal, Ah Zhi and the others went out in the heavy rain again, looking at their conscious appearance, Ji Thief was very pleased.

However, instead of going straight to the stump, these people picked up the stone and went to the back mountain.

Ah Chi was still full of doubts: "Aren't you going to train?" ”

"Then you shouldn't hold the stones, it's time to go under the stump and practice dodging, and put the stones down. ”

A group of people looked at each other and muttered to themselves, "But I used to go to the stream behind me after running a step, so why don't I go this time." ”

"Big brother, haven't you already been there in the morning?"

"Eh, Lord Warrior, how do you tell the difference between morning and afternoon without the sun?" asked one of the clansmen.

Ji Thief: "··· Don't you all know by feeling?"

Everyone shook their heads dumbly.

Seeing this, Ji Thief patted his brain, and it seems that most of them don't have any concept of time in their minds, but instinctively use the sun as a benchmark to distinguish the flow of time in a day.

Once there is no sun, they are almost messy.

It seems that I have to correct their bad problem.

It would be nice if there was a timer.

Chronographs, etc., how did the ancient people who did not have electronic watches keep time? sundial timekeeping, hourglass timekeeping, water drop timekeeping.

Haha, you can make a timer yourself.

When I was in elementary school, I said that hourglass timing requires accurate instruments before it can be used, not to mention water drop timing, which is more precise than the hourglass.

Of the three methods, the only one that can be used is a sundial, which is not too difficult, you just need to adjust the angle.

But unlike hourglasses and water droplets, sundial timekeeping has a very big flaw, that is, in the absence of the sun, this thing does not have about half a point.

But even so, Ji Thief was very satisfied.

He just wanted to cultivate the concept of time for the people first, for example, it is not the sun that rises and sets, but the daily cycle, which is composed of fixed times.

Ji Thief believes that as long as the clansmen's concept of time is cultivated, it will have an irreplaceable role in the future development of the tribe.

Just do it when you think of it, the thief, who was already a little excited, held back the excitement in his heart, and led Ah Zhi and them to the edge of the tree to practice evasion training, and all the thoughts of the thief were on how to make a sundial.

Soon, the training was completed, and after the thief brought them back, he came out on his own with an iron spear.

What he needed now was a plank that could be used as a sundial chassis, and of course, as long as it was suitable, stone would also work, but stone was not easy to engrave and was not the best choice at the moment.

He searched for more than half the night before he found a suitable piece of material.

It was a flat ashlar the size of a washbasin, and the stone was as regular as if it had been precision sawed.

In addition to having some weight, it is more practical than the planks in every way.

Moreover, the wooden board still needs to be processed by itself, and the stone can directly start to carve on it, which is a bit laborious.

He first found the middle of the stone, then used a branch, turned it along the middle point, drew a circular trace, followed by a small sharp stone to deepen the circle, and then, imitating the appearance of the dial, drew the scale.

For a while, in the cave where the clansmen had begun to rest, there was only the constant sound of grinding as the thief carved the stones.

Several times, the witch was woken up and came up to the thief and asked what he was doing, but the thief's answer was always mysterious: "Keep it secret." ”

When the sun rose the next day, the thief fell asleep guarding the half-finished stone slab, and when he was still in a daze, he was woken up by a panicked clansman who broke in.

"Warrior-sama, warrior-sama, no, no!"

Ji Thief opened his hazy eyes and wiped the corners of his mouth: "What's wrong?"

The tribesman said nervously: "Lord Warrior, the people of the Black Mountain tribe are here again!"

"What!" the thief suddenly became clever.

Hearing the news, the clansmen inevitably panicked: "Lord Warrior, what's the matter, didn't they just come here? Why did they come here again? Did they find out that everyone is still alive, Lord Warrior?"

"What should I do, Lord Warrior, you have to think of a way. ”

For a while, all kinds of panicked emotions spread in the cave.

"Shut up!"

The noisy thief roared, attracting the attention of all the clansmen.

Looking at the many clansmen with dazed faces on their faces, Ji Thief gritted his teeth and said, "What are you panicking about? Is the sky falling? Even if the sky is falling, there are tall people on top of it, what are you afraid of?" Ah, tell me. ”

The crowd looked at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't speak.

Instead, Toyama pointed to his nose: "???"

"Patriarch. The thief shouted.

The old patriarch hurriedly stood up: "Warrior, you say." ”

"You first take the clansmen to the hiding place yesterday and hide it, and the elders and I will go to see what's going on, remember, without our news, you are definitely not allowed to show your head, understand?"

The old patriarch nodded: "Don't worry, warrior." ”

After speaking, he beckoned to all the people: "Everyone, come with me." ”

Dozens of clansmen followed the old patriarch and left, and the thief and the fat elder rushed towards the mouth of the valley.

When I arrived, I opened the door, and sure enough, I saw the black bear leading more than a dozen Black Mountain cannibals standing outside, and behind these Black Mountain cannibals, there were ten female primitives aged about twenty to thirty.

The fat elder was taken aback, and lowered his voice and said, "Warrior, it's our tribe's people who have been taken captive. ”

After listening to the fat elder's words, Ji Thief's heart suddenly became bottomless, and he said in his heart, what is the black bear trying to do? What is the purpose of bringing his people back?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the black bear say impatiently: "Ji thief, what are you doing, why are you only opening the door now?"

Ji Thief retracted his thoughts, and said with an aggrieved expression: "Ouch, Lord Black Bear, you have wronged me, when I heard you coming, I came out to greet you as soon as possible, but my bulky body, how can I be as strong as the great Black Mountain warriors?"

A cannibal nodded: "Lord Black Bear, what he said makes sense." ”

When the thief heard this, he was immediately happy, good guy, it was the undercover brother who spoke to him yesterday.

I didn't expect this guy to come with me today.

Seeing him, the thief knew that everything was fine today, even if there was a big danger, with him, it would be thrilling.

Thinking of this, the thief also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shut up, I know if it makes sense. The black bear scolded the undercover brother, then turned his head to look at the thief and said: "You are right, no one can be as agile as the great Black Mountain warriors, I forgive you." ”

Ji Thief nodded: "Thank you, Lord Black Bear, thank you, Lord Black Bear." ”

The fat elder who came out with him was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, Is this it? I was already ready to bleed again, who would have thought that I would be fooled with just a few words?

In fact, the fat elder had never seen the undercover brother crying and crying yesterday, and his elbows turned out, if he saw it, he would not be so surprised.

"I told my father what you said yesterday. ”

The black bear pursed his lips.

Ji Thief was slightly stunned: "What did you say yesterday?"

The black bear showed displeasure on his face: "Have you forgotten what you said yesterday about the lack of manpower?"

Only then did the thief react, followed by a look of disbelief, is it possible, is it possible, is it possible, those ten female clansmen, were specially returned by the black bear?

Damn, no, it's like the sun hitting the west, no, hitting the north and coming out.

Getting the Black Mountain cannibals to take the initiative to hand over their captives is a little harder than climbing to the sky.

But the fact is that not only did the people hand over their captives, but they were also sent back by the young owner of the black bear.

No, happiness came too suddenly, let me slow down first, let me slow down first.

The thief was unsteady on his feet, and after stumbling, fortunately, the fat elder was quick and helped the thief with one hand.

"That, Lord Black Bear, do you mean to exchange these ten clansmen for us?" In order to ensure the accuracy of the matter, Ji Thief had to confirm and asked.
