Chapter 46 Felling and Beast Pens
Although it was still early in the morning, because of the limited labor tools, Zhang Heng immediately did not delay, and began to divide the labor, the women and children began to dig pits, digging deep pits around the periphery of the land, and then beckoned Ba and Beard, and a few half-grown children to go down the hill together.
There should be no danger just on the outskirts of the forest, but you have to hurry up, Zhang Heng shouted: "Ba, bearded, cut trees, cut down!" ”
As for himself, he had experimented when he first entered the space, and he couldn't cut down trees because he didn't have enough strength, of course, there were also reasons because he didn't have axes, and now there were only two axes on the Spring tribe's side, just one for each of the two men.
"Click~~!" Soon the two men cut down the trees brutally, and in a short time several trees fell, which was a bit fast.
Zhang Heng nodded, and simply asked Ba to continue chopping, and then called the bearded man to start cutting the branches together, and after the chopping, let a few half-grown children carry them to the outside of the cave, don't look at the children are only about one meter high, but this strength is not small, and carrying the branches is not a problem at all.
At this time, Zhang Heng also remembered that he had forgotten a very important thing, that is, a hammer and a saw, write it down for the time being, and I will talk about it later.
When the sun was in the sky, I didn't think that Cuckoo and others also came, bringing half of the meat, Zhang Heng was overjoyed, and beckoned everyone to rest first, no way, he didn't make a sound, everyone would not stop, and his body seemed to be able to burst out with infinite strength, tireless labor, this quality is difficult to find in the village, even Zhang Heng occasionally thinks of lazy rest.
When barbecuing, Zhang Heng signaled to share the meat with everyone, because it had rained for a few days, the Spring tribe had not gone out to hunt and gather fruits, and the food was almost gone.
The cuckoo roared for a while and responded, but when it was time to divide the meal, he refused to give it to the tyrant, and even almost caused another battle, Zhang Heng hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, guessing that it was because he had been staying in the Spring Tribe.
"Bugu, don't make trouble, I'll go back to the tribe tomorrow, the sun says, I'm waiting for a sun to go back to the tribe!" Zhang Heng thought for a while and said.
"Tribe, King!" Cuckoo's eyes were full of joy, and after a roar, he happily handed the meat to Ba to eat.
Zhang Heng shook his head, Cuckoo may really still be a child, but he is very moved psychologically, and there is a little bit of narcissism......
After eating, he started work quickly, Zhang Hengsuo called Shangbu Gu and other men to help together, and he could study casually, so that he would not have to spend time teaching in the future.
"Yes, that's it, cut it compared to the length of this wooden stick, and after it is cut, it will be driven into the soil......" Zhang Heng explained while demonstrating in person, in fact, it is a stupid way, it is nothing more than to drive dense wooden stakes on the periphery of the land, try not to leave gaps, and it took a little effort to get to the door left at the end.
There are many people with great strength, more than 50 people, busy for a small piece of land, it is difficult to be fast, and with the diligence of primitive people, the speed is even faster.
It was completed in just an hour, but the deep pit has not yet been dug up, so there is no need to rush, you can take your time.
Zhang Heng looked at the sky, thought for a while, and roared: "Go on, and then surround the mountain together." Zhang Heng had a whim, this is going to enclose the mountain, although the sweet potatoes have just sprouted, they will be transplanted later, which requires more land.
Thinking of the situation where the beasts ate the plant tubers a few days ago, Zhang Heng was more worried, if the sweet potatoes were planted and destroyed by the beasts, it would be a tragedy.
"King!" Wu looked at him puzzled.
Zhang Heng didn't explain, and when he finished it, he said that there were cuckoos and others, and he was bolder, and he was near the cave, so he didn't have to worry about suddenly encountering an attack by the beasts.
Immediately took the men, and Wu together to survey the cave around, the results of the survey are very good, a lot of land can be reclaimed nearby, about a dozen acres, this is nearly 10,000 square meters, if all the sweet potatoes are planted, enough to feed all the people of the Spring Tribe, of course, it is impossible to eat sweet potatoes all at once, but at least the Spring tribe can stay away from hunger. When the children grow up, the tribe will become stronger.
"Let's all come together and learn to pull weeds!" Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to cut wood, he wanted to fence tens of thousands of square meters, this is a huge project, he only needs to take the lead.
"Grass, king!" Wu followed the recitation, immediately picked up the stone, and carved it on the big stone next to it.
Zhang Heng smiled, Wu is countless times easier to learn than him, which also makes him more satisfied, as long as he teaches Wu, he can save a lot of trouble.
The speed of pulling the weeds is very fast, Zhang Heng just wants to pull out the route, after pulling out, he looked at the sky, now he has to hurry up, Bugu and the others must return to their tribe before nightfall.
Immediately, while the nine men were there, Zhang Heng roared and asked the men to cut down trees frantically and in the direction of the cave, so that an open place could be cleared by the way, and if there was a wild beast running out of the forest, it could be seen at a glance when standing at the entrance of the cave, so as to prevent danger from approaching.
"Boom, boom!" Giant trees fell from time to time, Zhang Heng was worried at first that the tree would fall and hit people, but after observing for a while, he found that primitive people were actually very smart, especially in terms of avoiding danger, they actually knew how to knock down trees in uninhabited places when they were almost cut down.
Almost, Zhang Heng hurriedly stopped, and then it took a lot of effort to lay the first wooden pile, which was half a meter deep into the soil, and the whole giant wood was driven in, which needed to be dug and beaten, which was really time-consuming, but after completion, it could protect the safety of the land and the Spring tribe to a large extent.
Fortunately, the perimeter does not need to be too dense, as long as it can prevent large animals from passing through the gaps in the stakes.
In this way, Zhang Heng then drove the second pile, and roared: "Wu, do you see clearly, according to this gap distance, follow the route of pulling weeds, this is called a railing, well, it is called a beast fence!" ”
"Beast pen, beast pen ......," Wu said repeatedly, and soon ran to the boulder to carve it.
It was really not early, Zhang Heng roared at Bugu and the others, and drove the reluctant men back to the tribe, but they also agreed to wait for him in the middle of the road tomorrow, and then go into the forest to hunt together, and after hunting Zhang Heng went directly back to the tribe of Bugu.
Worried that Bugu and the others would not understand, they found Wu and said it again, and finally Wu and Bugu and the others chattered for a while, Zhang Heng nodded, it should be translated correctly.
Looking at the eyes of Cuckoo and others, they still have a lot of respect for witches, maybe this is the power of knowledge, people with knowledge will gain the respect of outsiders even in primitive society!
Looking at the back of the cuckoo in the distance, Zhang Heng muttered: "I don't know how Mei and Xia are doing now." ”
