Chapter 136: The House That Broke Ground
Today, Han Cheng seemed very happy, and Wu also seemed very energetic, not only them, but the entire Qingque tribe was shrouded in an inexplicable excitement and expectation.
At the beginning of spring, many of them began to learn from the Son of God or others that the Son of God was going to build something better than the deer pen called a house for the people of the tribe to live in.
The house is more spacious and cleaner than the cave, and the inside is brighter than the cave, and in the winter, it is warmer than the cave.
The concept of cleanliness is very vague for them before the arrival of the Son of God, and they sometimes consciously or unconsciously do some cleaning things, but after all, it is not customized.
After the arrival of the Son of God, they began to wash their teeth and faces, bathe, wash animal skins, and clean the caves...... After making all these things, when they looked back, they suddenly realized that it was clean.
Something clean and tidy always looks more pleasant, and primitive people are no exception.
If Han Chengcai hadn't been able to add the advantage of cleanliness to the house when he had been promoting it shortly after Han Chengcai came last year, the people of the Qingque tribe would not have any feelings, and they would even wonder what 'clean' or 'clean' could fill their stomachs.
But now it's obviously different, and now even without Han Cheng saying it, no one in the tribe will make themselves dirty.
Except, of course, when working.
But even if they get dirty from work, they will take a bath at night, unlike before, I don't know if they can take a shower once a year......
After knowing that the house has so many benefits, they are naturally extremely looking forward to such a good place to live, but the god son said that the wall must be increased before they can start building the house, so they can only look forward to it first, and from time to time fantasize about what a house that is better than the deer pen will look like.
After such a long period of anticipation, now that the wall has finally been built, and Miko is finally going to lead everyone to build a house, how can they not be excited?
Even the elder brother and others took the initiative to ask for a shortened rest time, turning the three days of rest after the wall was built into one day.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Qingque tribe, Han Cheng, a guy who had only seen and built a house but had never done it, took the rope grass card tape measure that he had made before, and measured the foundation calmly and confidently with the cooperation of the lame.
A group of people from the Qingque tribe who didn't know the truth gathered around, looking at them with reverence as if they could do anything, and the lame man who beat his hand was still slightly red with excitement, and one of them didn't go well and almost fell to the ground.
"Here."
Han Cheng poked a small mark on the ground with a wooden stick wrapped around the tape measure, and turned around and spoke.
The senior brother who was following him hurriedly came over with a stick two centimeters in diameter, more than one meter long, and one end that was burned black and sharpened in the fire.
He aimed the tip of the stick at the mark that Han Chengfang had just made, held it vertically in one hand, and smashed it down with a stone in the other.
In a few clicks, the straight stick was firmly seated there.
After the wooden stick was nailed, four sticks appeared in this open space, and at Han Cheng's signal, the senior brother used a thin rope to connect the four sticks, so that a ten-meter-long and five-meter-wide open space was circled.
"Dig."
Han Cheng said again.
The people who stood and waited with the shovels began to move, and they divided into four groups and excavated along these four lines.
Han Cheng was with the lame, and then took the rope grass card tape measure and began to compare, to evenly divide the rectangle facing north and south into three rooms.
After nailing four more wooden stakes and pulling two lines, the position of the foundation was completely determined.
The house is on the west side of the cave entrance, about ten meters from the mountain wall.
The house was built from the back, and like the cave, it also faces north and south, which is conducive to collecting sunlight.
The people of the Qingque tribe have already used bone shovels by now, and digging soil with bone shovels is even more commonplace.
Thanks to the joint efforts of everyone, by the afternoon, several foundation trenches with a width of 40 centimeters and a depth of 40 centimeters had been excavated.
Because it is digging along the line, there is no need to worry about the twisting and crookedness of the digging.
When the senior brother and them were digging the foundation, those who couldn't intervene were not idle, they were preparing for the next step under Han Cheng's arrangement.
Instead of cutting sticks and grinding stakes, they went outside to find stones.
Han Cheng thought about it and felt that the kind of wooden raft he built when he built the deer pen was not strong enough to be covered with mud, so he wanted to change it.
"Smack, smack"
He placed several stones in two tree rafts.
Lift one of the rafters in this direction so that they are at the right distance from each other.
Then from the large rock on one side, he took the flat pole he was leaning on and put it on the handle of the rafter made of the bent wooden stick.
One of the two rafters, one at the other, with the middle of the flat pole on his shoulder.
The half-squatting corpse stretched out his arms, climbed on the flat pole, and held down a rafter with one hand to prevent the rafter from sliding inside.
Then he used his strength and stood up from the ground.
The head of the stone was heavy, and it was bent a little, and it flashed up and down with the pace of the mourning.
Yan also mastered the skill of carrying things, and walked along with the rhythm of the swaying of the burden.
In this way, you can save some effort, and secondly, it is not easy to carry the things on the burden.
Now it is a stone, it is not obvious, if you use a clay pot to carry water, if you can't master the skill, walk from the river to the tribe, a jar of water can be sprinkled half.
Instead of carrying the stones to the tribe, he came to the west side of the wall, put down his burden, and threw the stones from the rafters one by one to the edge of the wall.
This is not because in order to practice the skill of throwing stones, deliberately do not pick the stones to the edge of the wall, take this opportunity to show their muscles, but because with the increase of the wall, the 'wall ditch' on the outside of the wall has begun to take shape.
Wait until there is a pile, and then use the previous method to put these stones in the rafters, pull them up with ropes, and put them on the inside of the wall.
Of course, this is also for those stones that are not too big, and if the stones are too big, they can only be carried all the way around the long fence from the mountain side behind, enter the courtyard through the south gate, and then go north and carry the stone to the place where the house is built, not too far from the mountain wall.
In this way, they have to walk at least twice as long, so they try to find the right kind of stone when they are looking for stones.
