Chapter 31: The Origin of Color

The two first placed a bamboo stick guardrail at the entrance of the cave to protect it.

Fortunately, although there is not much soil at the entrance of the cave, and even in front of the cave, there is no soil, but there are many holes in the Taihu Lake stone on the ground, which is enough to insert a bamboo spear and build a fence.

After that, the two of them took the house beast for a walk around the neighborhood.

When they waited until noon, seeing that the dead dragon had not provoked the beast, the two went to skin the dragon.

Peeling the skin of the dragon is still very effective with a sharp stone knife.

It is also different from the processing of dragon skin in Rogge's factory, as long as the soft skin on the stomach, the two people of the silk clan want the bone-related back skin of the dragon, and they don't care that the whole skin is divided into broken skins, so it is much easier to deal with.

It's just that after the dragon's claws were cut, Ah He studied them for a long time, and wanted to sew them up again and make them into gloves.

This idea is also the one that the savages have.

However, the wild people do not think about whether to make a glove, they will only consider using the whole piece of fur as a sheath for various hands to protect the hand.

And after the weaving technique spread, they would only tie straw ropes to various batters.

However, in order to look good, the apes will dye the natural color of the straw rope and then use it to tie the handles, for which such hands are often colorful.

As for whether it is recorded in history.

Yes, the word 'color' comes from this, referring to the various colors on the 'bar', which also represents the earliest use of dyes.

In the past, Ah He, he would use hemp rope to make his hands, and he would also dye the hemp rope, so the color was more delicate.

At this moment, she was planning to make holes in the dragon's skin and then sew them back together.

"You can also use hemp rope to weave it into the shape of this cut dragon claw, and then sew it up." Ah, she made a new discovery, and said happily.

"Uh-huh, ahh Zhang Jingtao praised that gloves are too important for apes.

After the skin of the dragon is peeled, the meat is taken.

For the sake of cleanliness, when the two took the meat, they did not break their stomachs, but only took the meat on their backs.

The belly of an animal is not clean, and even the wild people of the south understand it.

Moreover, the two of them also carefully examined the dragon meat, and the flesh was very healthy and clean, without any nodules or spots, otherwise, the two would throw away the meat.

Therefore, such clean meat is marinated in bamboo flats and can be eaten tomorrow.

In this regard, Zhang Jingtao did not want to propose the technique of drilling wood to make fire, he would rather endure the fishy smell of the cured meat than affect Ah He's ability to observe the world.

This ability to observe is the most precious, and it is the ability that modern man has slowly lost.

So they turned a small cave with some large pits on one side, about twenty square meters, into a leather hole, and used a bundle of bamboo tubes tied together to carry water, filled a large pit with water, and added a basket of salt and a small basket of alkali.

Then the dragon skin was soaked in a salt-alkali pond.

It is not placed in the main cave because such a leather-specific salt pond will have an unpleasant smell and may also attract fierce beasts.

For this reason, this salt pond is not used to soak edible meat, and if you want to marinate edible meat in large quantities, you will naturally use a clean small pit.

After dealing with the dragon, the two took the domestic beast and went to dig a hole in another small hole.

There are a lot of bamboo tools that are still very powerful for this.

After digging a large pit, the two of them pulled the dragon's internal organs and skull to the edge of the big pit, threw it down, and covered it with some earth.

This is how the wild man disposed of household waste, including manure, and then buried the soil layer by layer.

This is actually the spear toilet.

And this practice and habit is not unique to the silk tribe, but comes from the southern savages who often marinate meat.

Because they have food to store, the southern savages hate flies so much that they dig holes with stone chips in the summer to fill in household garbage so as not to attract flies.

Of course, the wild people of the south don't make big holes, they all landfill garbage all at once.

The wild people in the south still defecate in the open, only letting the dung naturally turn into dirt in the field, and for this reason, it is precisely because they found that the dung will turn into dirt that they came up with the landfill method.

But after this habit was adopted by the ape-man, the ape-man would dig a few small holes and dig large pits in them to bury garbage and excrement, and then take turns using these spear latrines and caves.

The temperate rainforest is still very hot, and in this use, soon, after a while, the hole they filled up before will be dug up again with dirt, and they will pile the dirt elsewhere and continue to use the hole.

Because the apes do not use oil, all the household waste they produce is easily digested by the soil.

On the other hand, the dirt, which is mixed with garbage and excrement, becomes darker, and when some of the dirt is dug up and thrown into the woods, the nearby plants become thick and green.

For this reason, the word 'garbage' next to the word "garbage" was created in later civilizations, which was due to this habit.

Since the two silk clans are ready to settle here, they will naturally do the same.

It's just that there aren't enough caves on this hill now, and the two of them still need to dig them out slowly.

In the next few days, the two of them watched the terrible dragons that appeared in the distance from time to time every day, and went to dig bamboo with worry.

The bowl of thick bamboo was transported to the lake at the mouth of the cave every ten digs, and the two men dug a hole in the ground and inserted it.

I would say that it was inserted, because Ah Ah didn't have the concept of growing things.

For this reason, Ah's mind is just to stick the bamboo here.

At the beginning, the two of them were really tired of inserting the ten guns, which was also the reason why the two of them were afraid of hand injuries and were very careful, and if they inserted one for every twenty centimeters wide, it was just to protect the two-meter-long border.

But the next day, the two of them realized that instead of digging a hole, it would be easier to dig a deep ditch directly, which would be a hundred times easier in the case of digging the earth with stones and bamboo spears.

That's a lot faster.

And when the second set of crocodile leather gloves was processed, this progress was much faster.

Even, when Ah Ah found that the bamboo was not really deep, she found a thin stone to use as a shovel to dig the bamboo, and accelerated this progress again.

However, a week later, when the two of them returned to the main cave with the five-man bamboo, they saw the five-headed earth dragon entrenched on the hillside in front of the cave.

The two stopped the house beast from moving forward, quickly summoned the family beast, and hid with the house beast on the top of Kongqiu.

Because not to mention the five-headed dragon, even if there are two dragons, they are not something that two people can deal with.

To deal with this kind of ferocious cold-blooded killer, there must be enough room for detours, and the two-headed dragon is enough to compress the battle space of one of them to 0, which is like dealing with two leopards at the same time, and the same is true, almost dead.
