Chapter Ninety-One: The Creation of the Deer Pens
The deer pen is already able to 'live', next to the rabbit pen.
It is a railing-type building.
Such a building is not very difficult for the Qingque tribe, which has already built a wall.
Here's how it was created.
First of all, in the selected position, sketch the shape of the deer circle, which is actually four sides.
The deer pen is rectangular, fifty meters long and thirty meters wide, and the total area reaches 1,500 square meters! In the afterlife, it is definitely a very extravagant act.
However, considering that there are a total of twenty-two of these deer, coupled with the large size of the deer, and the arrogance of the deer, all Han Cheng deliberately built the deer pen very large.
Of course, there is another aspect of consideration is the breeding of these deer, once the deer herd expands in the future, too small a circle will naturally not be able to adapt, but it is not as convenient as a one-step one.
In this way, it is convenient for people to save trouble, and it is comfortable for deer to live.
After planning the shape on the ground, the next step is to dig a pit and plant the pillars.
In winter, the weather is cold and the ground is hard, so it is naturally difficult to dig at this time, but don't worry, this problem is easy to solve.
At Han Cheng's signal, the people of the tribe, before digging, first cleared the snow, and then on the ground where they were about to dig a pit, a fire was raised, and the temperature of the flame would make the hard ground softer.
After roasting the ground softly, the people took advantage of the heat and excavated with the newly built bone shovels.
The bone shovel is much easier to use than the previous flat-headed stick, not only because it is sharper, but also because of its width, it can dig more soil at one time.
Another reason is that when excavating, the elder brother and others can step on the side of the bone shovel with their feet and go into the soil.
In the past, when grinding flat sticks to dig up the earth and stick sticks into the ground, people could only rely on the strength of two arms.
And because of the force, a lot of power will be lost in this process, and not all of it will be used to 'enter' into the soil.
Now it's different to kick down the side of the bone shovel with your foot and step directly down, first of all, the strength of the thigh is much greater than that of the arm, and 'the arm can't twist the thigh' is not in vain.
The second is that when you use your feet to kick the bone shovel into the dirt, the weight of the body will also be used, just this one, the level does not know where to go higher than simply holding a stick in your hand and sticking it into the soil.
Another is the immediacy of force, when you step down with your feet, you will lose much less force than when you use your hands.
After the combination of these advantages, the most direct manifestation is the speed of excavation, which has increased by more than three times compared with before!
In the past, things that could not be pressed with a lot of effort by hand, now only need to stretch out one foot and step on the side of the bone shovel, without using too much force, the bone shovel can easily enter the soil, and then hold the handle of the bone shovel with both hands and warp it back, and a large piece of soil is excavated. (I suddenly remembered the advertisements for various medicinal liquors and plasters for treating pain on the local station...... )
The ease of use of the new tools made the senior brother and others very happy, because it meant that they would improve the efficiency of doing things, and another reason was to save effort.
Even if you have to do a lot more in a day, you won't be as tired as before.
Using this method, in just four days, the people of the Qingque tribe dug a large one hundred and seventy or eighty holes in the four lines drawn by Han Cheng, among which the four corners and the pit in the middle of the four sides were the largest and deepest.
This is done to improve the stability of the deer pen.
One of the eight deep pits was planted with a pillar with a diameter of more than fifteen centimeters.
Such a thick trunk is naturally not easy to break only by relying on the stone axes of the tribe, but it is much easier to burn it on the fire, although this loss is somewhat large, and it is unsightly.
But these things obviously don't need to be considered for the Qingque tribe, which has a lot of wood.
As early as when the ground was set on fire, these pillars had already been cut off while they were burning.
Eight pillars of more than two meters were carried by the tribesmen to erect in the pit dug out, and then the soil excavated before was backfilled, and each layer was filled with the sticks used to beat the wall.
In order to be more solid, at Han Cheng's suggestion, some stones were also buried at the root of the pillar.
After the eight large pillars at the corners and in the middle were erected, the men who had been divided into four groups divided the work again, and in groups of two, began to plant small pillars of the thickness of their wrists into the remaining pits.
This is easier to do, and it hasn't been used up for half a day, and everything has been planted.
Then it's a matter of weaving branches into these pillars, which are every one meter.
In Han Cheng's hometown, this technique is called '摽' or 'don't'
The specific method is to use relatively thin and flexible branches from between these vertical pillars, one left and one right, and then the next branch, and then the other way around.
When this is done, the whole deer pen will be connected into a whole and will be very strong.
The height of the weaving of thin twigs is about one meter two, and above there is a gap of about forty centimeters.
After the gap, the rest of the top, about thirty centimeters high, was woven again with thinner branches.
This can not only ensure lighting, but also save a lot of materials and a lot of effort, and will not affect the firmness of the deer pen.
In the circle of the deer pen, Han Cheng also asked people to dig a ditch for drainage, and the ground inside the deer pen was also padded with a thick layer of firewood ash, which was mixed with hay and broken leaves, which can be said to be very attentive.
Because of the disturbance of the Teng Snake tribe a few days ago, the deer pen was not completely built, such as the missing roof, such as the mud pasted on both sides of the one-meter-two-high fence near the bottom as Han Cheng envisioned.
These will be made up one by one in a few days.
Uncle Lu had a crisp and refreshing little rape in his mouth, and his mouth moved three or two times, and then he didn't need Han Cheng to do it, he himself very consciously buried half of his head in the animal skin pocket held by Han Cheng, and rolled a full mouth with his tongue, so he was willing to pull out his head and slowly chew this rare delicacy.
The rest of the deer followed their boss into a place they had never seen before.
However, these deer have seen big scenes, and they have no stage fright for this.
Especially at the behest of Han Cheng, Heiwa and the others brought a lot of dried grass and put it on the wooden rafts prepared in advance on the ground, and after giving them a warm treat, these deer became more natural.
One by one, their mouths moved quickly, and they wagged their little tails from time to time, which was quite happy.
Wu looked at the group of deer, grinning because he couldn't see his teeth.
Especially a fawn that was not born too long, after eating a few rape from his hand, and stretching out his pink tongue to lick his hand a few times, Wu was even more happy.
He stretched out his hand and stroked the head of the fawn gently, looking at this group of quietly grazing deer, the joy in his heart was indescribable, and his reverence for Han Cheng was indescribable.
The Son of God is the true God! Without any violent means, he directly brought back such a large herd of deer to the tribe!
You know, deer are good at running, and even the adults of the tribe want to hunt them, it is extremely difficult!
And the god son who is still a child, can actually bring back so many directly, and they are all alive, and if they are domesticated, there will be as many deer in their tribe as rabbits!
What a miracle!
