Chapter 107: The Energetic Iron Head
"Thorn, stab"
The iron head holds the middle and upper part of the thatch with his left hand, and the stone sickle in his right hand moves with it.
The blade of the stone sickle hooked the root of the thatch, and with the force of his right hand, he pulled it back, and the thatch was cut by the stone sickle.
The cut thatch was not scattered on the ground, but was held by his left hand.
After cutting the grass, the iron head did not stop, but wrapped his left hand holding the thatch around a small semicircle in front of him, and some of the original thatch in his hand was controlled only by his thumb and index finger, leaving three fingers to grasp the new thatch, and the stone sickle in his right hand also moved.
This action was repeated until the reed grass in his left hand was almost unable to grasp, and the iron head stopped his steps and put a large handful of thatch in his hand on the thatch pile not far away.
At the bottom of the thatched pile there is a rope woven from woolly grass, and when the thatch is stacked to a certain amount, it will be tied up and transported to the tribe.
Compared with other thatches, this pile of thatch is much cleaner and neatly stacked, unlike the rest of the people, which is rough and rough.
This is the masterpiece of Iron Head.
Tietou is now doing things with great enthusiasm, not only because the new tool made by Shenzi, the 'stone sickle', he uses the most skillful door, and the number of thatch harvested is the fastest and most neat for him, but also because there is an important reason that not far away is bundling enough thatch to transport to the tribe like flowers.
After a long period of recuperation, Ruhua's stomach had completely healed, and Miko agreed to live with them ten days ago after doing a check-up.
The adults of the tribe hummed a little song at night, and often couldn't sleep for half a night and half a night, which was the envy of the iron head who had become an adult but had no spouse, and now that he also had a spouse, it was natural to carry a gun and straddle the horse.
It's a pity that the iron head only knows a rough idea of this matter, and although he is in a hurry, he can't enter the door.
Fortunately, Ruhua is an experienced one, with her back to him, she gently supported him with her hand, and then pressed his buttocks with her backhand, and the door to a new world opened.
At that moment, the iron head, who had never thought of flying, only felt like a bird flying in the air, and all the impatience in his heart disappeared, leaving only a wonderful feeling that he had never felt before.
When he came back to his senses from this wonder, he found that the black baby was smiling at him in the light of the fire, which was not too bright, and was close to the place where he was resting.
It was a very strange smile, so strange that Iron Head didn't understand what it meant.
However, his doubts did not last long, because after Heiwa smiled at him again, he reached out and patted Zhuang next to him.
Zhuang got up, lying on the ground like a flower, and then the black baby began to stir.
After a while, a rough singing began to be hummed in Zhuang's loud voice.
Looking at the black baby who turned his head and smiled at himself while stirring, the iron head who had never thought about this matter actually understood the meaning of the black baby in a short instant.
The iron head's face suddenly became hot, and he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.
It was Ruhua who rescued him from this situation.
This considerate primitive woman once again leads the iron head whose self-esteem has been hurt to explore a new world.
And soon he also hummed a song.
Hearing this song, he lowered his head and raised his head, he followed the example of the black baby, while shaking hard, he turned his head and smiled at the black baby like a counterattack......
From that night on, at night, the two pairs of people compared each other like singing a duet, and their voices were louder than the other, like killing pigs.
It wasn't until Han Cheng, who couldn't bear it, came out of the inner hole in a huff, and after one person came up and kicked two feet, that this battle of intent from the primordial stopped ......
When Tietou and the others were harvesting thatch on the mountain bag and transporting it back, the senior brother and others who stayed behind were also not idle.
They were still working with mud on the edge of the deer pen, but this time the mud was not glued to the fence on top of the deer pen, but to the woven wooden fence under the roof.
Compared with the paste roof, there is actually a big difference.
First of all, the mud is thick, at least five centimeters, and secondly, the grille of the roof is only pasted on top, but here, it is pasted inside and out.
The elder brother who turned from an excellent hunter into an excellent plasterer picked up the good mud in his leather pocket with both hands, made a ball in his hand, and made a mud strip roughly ten centimeters long, five centimeters wide and about five centimeters high, and then pressed it against the mud wall below.
And also press the wooden wall in the middle, in order to make it stick to the wooden wall more firmly.
Han Cheng watched from the sidelines, stretched out his hand and pressed on the hardened mud that had been built before, and shook it a few more times, feeling even satisfied.
It is indeed possible to make a mud wall by weaving a 'wooden wall' with wooden pillars and strips, and then pasting a thick layer of mud on both sides of the wooden wall, and completely sealing the wooden wall in the soil.
And because of these stakes and sticks that can be called 'bones', such walls are stronger than simple mud walls.
The 'wooden walls' of the deer pen with the roof were all sealed with mud, and after the thatching was laid on the roof, the last step on the roof, a real house was built.
In this way, when the weather is cloudy and rainy, the weather is cold, Uncle Deer and his harem can stay here, and when the weather is clear and the temperature rises, they can go to a larger area of the uncovered deer pen to ventilate and bask in the sun.
After collecting a certain amount of thatch, under Han Cheng's orders and guidance, Senior Brother, Yan and the others began to spread thatch on the mud-covered roof.
The thatch should be spread thicker, so as to better shelter from the wind and rain, after many years of wind and rain.
And when laying thatch, you have to spread it horizontally and row by row.
After the lower row is laid, you need to press some mud on the upper part of them, so that it can play a fixed role.
Then spread the top row.
The upper row needs to cover the lower row with mud so that no marks are left.
In this way, the top of the row of paving roads is pressed one by one, and the entire roof becomes one.
The top layer of thatch needs to be fixed, because if they are not fastened well, the whole roof will be greatly affected.
Han Cheng also thought of a way, so he first tied them to the fence below with a rope, and then put two wooden strips horizontally on top, and pressed stones on top of the wooden strips, so that even if it was windy, there was no need to worry.
At this point, the deer pen, which has been built since winter, has finally been officially completed.
(The matter of pasting the wall, interested book friends can go to station B to search for the video of the Australian brother, which is much more intuitive than what I narrated with text)
