0548 Burnt bricks
"Goddess, goddess, over here, over here!"
The child waved hard at Tao Bao in front of him, and his little face was full of excited smiles, and he seemed to be extremely happy, although Tao Bao didn't know what he was happy about.
Coming up with the child, there is a small dirt slope in front of him, the slope is not high, the area is large, part of it is exposed, and you can see that the soil layer is red.
"Goddess, this is it." The child snorted, squatted down and handed a handful of soil to Tao Bao, motioning for her to look.
"What's your name?" Tao Bao patted his little head and twisted a pinch of soil in his hand, which was extremely fine and scattered, clay, very suitable for burning bricks.
"My name is He, and when my grandmother gave birth to me, the river rose so high and high, so I called it He." The child replied, and grinned at Tao Bao again: "Goddess, you are so beautiful, when I grow up, will I serve you?" ”
When Tao Bao heard the latter sentence, he couldn't cry or laugh, shook off the clay in the child's hand, and said with a smile:
"Let's talk about it when you're older, let's go, let's go make two buckets, get some dirt and water, and go back and try to see if it works."
"Try what? Is there anything the goddess is going to do? He asked, following Tao Bao's buttocks.
Tao Bao nodded, came to the river, let the river wait on the bank, walked to the big forest on the opposite side of the water, and cut down two big trees very quickly.
The people only saw two large logs floating on the water, and the raging river was brought to the shore, and then they saw the goddess treading the water and returning, and they all opened their mouths in surprise, and then there was a fierce discussion.
Tao Bao didn't care what they said, and with He's surprised expression, he picked up a huge log in one hand and came to the shore, and then took out an axe and a wood knife and began to break the wood.
The two branches of the huge tree were all flattened by Tao Bao, and then the wood was broken into sections one by one, and two suitable ones were picked out, and the holes were dug out with three or two strokes of the knife, and a bucket was made in less than two minutes, and the river was dumbfounded.
Waiting for Tao Bao to take the bucket to fill the water, he reacted, ran back to the tribe with a smoke, and soon brought a string of people, if the five elders didn't allow it, I'm afraid all the people would come.
It's good that they came, and Tao Bao happened to explain it to them while doing it.
First, mix the soil with water, then use wood chips to make molds, pour the mixed soil into it, and dehydrate it. Then he called someone to bring firewood, and if he didn't have the conditions to make a kiln, he would directly take the fire and burn it.
Thinking that the time will save some energy, the brick mold pottery treasure is very large, and it should be a big brick when it is burned.
In the evening, when Himeji led the men back, the first batch of large bricks had just been burned and was still steaming.
The five elders followed Tao Bao for a day and didn't see what she was doing with this big adobe brick, but Ji Di had just come back and his eyes lit up when he saw it for the first time.
Three or two steps forward, looking at the bricks, asked, "Lord Goddess, what is this big clod of earth used for?" ”
"This is brick, used to build houses, walls." Tao Bao smiled, pointed to the big stone by the river, and winked at hime. The other party immediately understood, and stepped forward to move a big stone with great interest.
He lifted it up and was about to smash it at the bricks, but Tao Bao raised his hand to signal him to stop first, and quickly put the bricks together to form a wall, which made him start smashing.
There was a muffled "bang", the stone was bounced off, and the wall was fine, so strong, it didn't even fall.
At this moment, there was no need for Tao Bao to explain, and the five elders were just rubbing against the wall like stroking a treasure.
Tao Bao pointed to the clay slope not far away and said: "Since you want to move, it is better to push it to rebuild, your original kind of house is simply fragile, and it is too close to the Yellow River, once the water rises and you have to move, simply choose a better address to rebuild." ”
The elders knew that the relocation would also have to be rebuilt, and now that they had such a large clod of earth, they were of course willing to use it to build a house, not only to build a house, but also to build a wall, so that they could defend not only against wild beasts, but also against foreign enemies.
It's just that it takes a long time to move like this, and I don't know if the goddess is in a hurry?
The five elders looked at each other, and then glanced at Ji Di, Ji Di understood, and stepped forward to ask:
"Lady Goddess, it will take us many days to rebuild like this, I wonder if you are in a hurry to use this land?"
The mine is not the only one, and it is nothing for Tao Bao to be late, just dig somewhere else first, so he shook his head and said:
"It's okay, you build first, build it and then talk about it, if you don't understand, come and ask me, and I'll give you a construction drawing when I go back in a while, the brick and wood structure of the house should almost meet everyone's needs."
Most of the people didn't understand Tao Bao's words, but they also knew that the goddess was going to help them rebuild the house, and they were all so happy that they couldn't stop talking.
They expressed their gratitude very directly, that is, they gave her what they thought was the best, and when Tao Bao returned to his temporary residence, she was followed by Mu and his mother-in-law, and the two of them had things in their hands.
They are all sent by everyone, there are wild fruits, furs, garlands and other things, miscellaneous, although not as exquisite as modern handicrafts, but they are everyone's sincerity.
Tao Bao motioned for the two of them to put down their things and leave, but Mu was in her room again, and Tao Bao had no time to take care of him for the time being when he wanted to draw drawings, so he went with him.
But she didn't expect that by the time she finished drawing the drawings, it was almost late at night, and the kid hadn't left yet. Not only did he not leave, but when he saw that she had finished his work, he actually pulled the animal skin from his waist and walked over to her with a hot face.
At that moment, Tao Bao's mind flashed through countless pictures that were about to happen, but the moment Mu approached, she subconsciously kicked the person out.
I only heard a loud "bang" sound in the tribe, waking up all the clansmen who were still asleep.
Everyone thought that the tribe had been attacked by a foreigner, and they all picked up weapons and rushed out, but there was nothing, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
"The house of the goddess...... collapsed ......" I don't know who said that, a few elders and the patriarch Ji Di led all the people to rush to Tao Bao's house.
A humanoid crater appeared on the mud wall, which was not very hard, and outside the mud wall, there was a wounded face of wood.
There was no need for words to explain this situation, and everyone went back to their own homes and left the mess to the elders and patriarchs.
Ji Di stepped forward to pull the wood, and when he saw that he was naked, he sighed helplessly, "Don't be so impulsive next time, go back first, fortunately, the goddess is not to blame." ”
The five elders also brought the haystack and pasted the wall for the time being, but they didn't hear any movement in the house, so they dared to leave.
A little farce ended here, Tao Bao didn't mention it, there were people in the bear clan who didn't think it happened, but Mu, since then, he has become a fart worm who can't beat away, and he is quite persistent in following Tao Bao, and from time to time he will be tempted.
Although the result may not be good, he seems to enjoy it. [.]
