Now the tribe consumes a large amount of paper every day, and the papermaking group in charge of the raccoon dog has expanded fivefold in size to meet the daily needs of the tribe. However, with the increasing demand for straw paper, the scale of papermaking needs to be increased. Tinch had agreed to select twenty men among the slaves to increase his manpower requirements.

Although it is cold in winter, there is a large bluestone under the wooden barrel containing the pulp, and a fire has been lit under the bluestone to ensure that the water in the barrel is warm and will not freeze your hands when making paper.

At present, the tribe's tung oil seeds have been squeezed, and the raccoon dog has focused all its work on papermaking. In addition to making paper from weeds, most of the reeds harvested by the tribe from the shores of the South Lake were also transported to the paper mill to produce a better paper.

Tanuki likes to ponder, which is why Ding Qi arranged for him to be in charge of papermaking. After fully mastering the process and method of making straw paper, he began to study all the methods of making paper from reeds, especially in the production of pulp. In addition to using human power to make pulp, it also makes full use of the power of machinery to make pulp, so that the paper produced is more delicate, durable, and whiter, and more comfortable to write than the previous straw paper.

In fact, Ding Qi is also happy to be the shopkeeper, and after guiding them on the road, the next things will be controlled by them, whether it is innovation or research, Ding Qi doesn't care, just make suggestions when necessary.

Seeing the paper being baked in the charcoal room, Ding Qi was very satisfied with everyone's performance. In the previous meeting, Ding Qi had already told the raccoon dog about the precautions in the production process. At this time, when you see a charcoal fire, you still remind the other party to pay attention to fire safety, not only to prevent fire, but also to prevent people from being poisoned by carbon monoxide caused by fire.

Ding Qi explained his intentions and needed a thick pile of papyrus.

"Alas! Chief, you arranged for someone to say that I would send it over, so why bother to make a trip yourself? ”

Although the raccoon didn't dare to talk to Ding Qi like Cang and Ben, he still dared to say this kind of complaint, and it seemed that the raccoon dog was more sincere.

"Haha! You guy, you care about me in disguise. I'm fine, too, come out and take a look to see if you're lazy. In addition, you can study how to make the finished straw paper soft and comfortable! ”

Ding Qi made a joke and didn't tell him the reason, but instead gave him a difficult problem to see if he could solve it. Now every time I go to the toilet, it's like taking a newspaper to the toilet, and I have to do a softening project in advance, otherwise I will panic!

Back in the yard, Ding Qi asked Bai Mao to call the deer back, and he took out bronze scissors in the house, cut the straw paper he got back into long strips, about five centimeters wide and fifteen centimeters long, and then stuffed the kind of straw paper with a centimeter thick paper into the kudzu cloth mezzanine under the underwear in front of the deer who had just returned, and handed it to the deer. It's just that before the plug, the paper has been softened.

"Here, try this kind of panties, it will solve the problem of your monthly period, at least it is much more comfortable than before."

Ding Qi picked up this kind of underwear and explained to the deer how to use it and the principle, and this novelty attracted the attention of the deer. After figuring out what it does, she can't wait to put it on.

"Brother Ding, why do you feel a little panicked! It's a bit hard, not to mention, but also grinds the thighs. ”

After putting on the deer, he talked about his feelings, and it seemed that he was still a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Ding Qi was hesitant to change the paper to plant ash, so that the deer would feel more comfortable. Moreover, fresh plant ash is free of bacteria, and it should be the best thing to use plant ash until you have mastered the paper disinfection method.

But plant ash also has a convenience that paper does not have, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, Ding Qi could only comfort her first.

"It's okay, just get used to it and get used to it. If you still feel it then

If you don't feel well, then just change it to plant ash. Anyway, it's always better than before, you say? ”

Lu thought about it and accepted it happily.

"Oh, by the way, you ask them to make you a few more pairs of these panties, and tell them how to use it, and slowly promote it. It's just that the amount of kudzu cloth is too small, so it will be promoted among the people above the supervisor first, and it can be promoted in the tribe after the linen cloth is made next year. ”

The two settled the matter, and Ding Qi told the deer some matters that need to be paid attention to in women's physiological hygiene, especially the hygiene knowledge that needs to be paid attention to during menstruation.

In the evening, all the women of the Deer organization tribe held a women's meeting in the Dragon Temple, and the participants were women who were full members of the tribe. According to the knowledge points copied on the reed paper, there are also some precautions for men, which leads to continuous laughter throughout the conference. Fortunately, Lu withstood the pressure, and also had his own prestige as a tribal doctor and witch, insisted on finishing these shameful contents, and strictly required everyone to implement them.

Snow fell in a flutter, obscuring the entire sky. Coming to the second winter of the primitive period, feeling the temperature different from the second snow last winter, Ding Qi was a little confused.

Although this is the second snow, you can clearly feel the difference in temperature, which is a little higher than the same period last year. According to archaeological conclusions, the Xiaoice period that lasted for a long time after the extinction fire, especially the kind of smoke that covered the sky and the sun, enveloped most of the world, causing the earth to quickly enter the ice age.

I don't know why, but the cold and snowy weather that was evident in the first winter has changed significantly, and the temperature has risen this winter, and the number of days that have lasted heavy snow has decreased. He didn't know if it was because of the butterfly effect caused by his coming to this world, but he could only say that if it went on like this, it would be a good thing that more humans could live.

Nesting on the kang and looking at the heavy snow outside, Ding Qi could only tease the little cutie and tease Xiao Jin. As for the deer, he had already taken the slave girl Bai Mao to the garment group to chat with a bunch of women. In one corner of the room, there are two clay pots, which emit a strong smell of wine and lime, which is something that Ding Qi has just started making, 100% pure alcohol.

During heavy snowfall, most of the tribe would stop working, and they would come to the school organized by Xue and Dan to learn Chinese characters and mathematics. With the exception of the wranglers and horses, all the members of the tribe were within the walls, learning all kinds of skills without worrying about being attacked by wild beasts.

Towers were erected on the walls, at the four corners, and above the gates, before winter, to allow patrolling warriors to rest and keep warm. On the city wall, there will be a squad of soldiers divided into two teams to patrol on it, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Southeast.

In the gray and vast snowy scene, a group of people are stepping on the snow and marching towards the Ding tribe. Armed with weapons, covered in thick animal skins, wrapped in thick furs on their feet, and carrying animal skin bags on their backs, they trudged through the snow with difficulty.

Looking closely, the leader was the golden hook of the original poisonous scorpion tribe, and the person next to him was the elephant trunk captain of the southern tribe of the mountain who was chased and killed by the Yue tribe.

After escaping to the location of the original poisonous scorpion tribe, seeing that only Golden Hook and ten other people were stationed in the tribe, the elephant trunk suddenly became a little anxious. How could such a person protect himself, so he asked the Golden Hook to escort him to the legendary Ding tribe in order to survive.

The golden hook has the responsibility of guarding the tribe and does not dare to leave at will, so he shirks until the elephant trunk tells the truth. Afraid of bringing disaster to the tribe, the golden hook had to lead five warriors to the Ding tribe with him, and naturally there were three elephant trunks with him.

I heard Zhuang say before that where the Yuan Yu tribe is located, there is a squad of warriors guarding there, so the golden hook plans to send the elephant trunk there, then transfer it to Ningcheng, and then turn back himself.

OK

As a tribe that once liked to stalk prey and hunt other humans in the snow, snow marching was a long-term habit they developed and were able to adapt to the discomfort brought by the snow. In addition, Zhuang had told him some knowledge about snow walking before, which could effectively prevent snow blindness, so they basically didn't suffer much damage, only the snow up to two feet thick caused them some difficulties.

They are not too far from their destination.

In the direction of Kamura, there is also a group of people hiding in the hunter's hut, waiting for the heavy snow to pass as soon as possible. It can be clearly seen that some people are dressed differently from the neat clothes of the Ding tribesmen.

As the squad leader of the team this time, Hayabusa was not curious about the dress of these people in front of him. Because the dress of these people in front of him is basically the same as before his tribe joined the Ding tribe.

The skins were thrown into a mess and tied with ropes, and sometimes the lower bodies were bare, lying there motionless. If it weren't for the two throbbing of his chest from time to time, he would have thought that these people were frozen to death!

Hayabusa was entrusted by Ding Qi to lead five people to wait for the tribes who had fled from the north at the location between Tong Village and Lu Village, trying to persuade these tribes to join the Ding tribe. But he never succeeded, and the tribes he passed through were not ten or eight, but their attitude was unanimous, and their refusal was quite strong, and they were not willing to join other tribes at all.

Unable to complete his mission, Hayabusa had to hunt and build houses on the spot, waiting for more tribes to arrive, until the second heavy snowfall came, when he encountered the Diet Tribe, who were cornered by hunger and cold.

The Diet Tribe, a small tribe by the great rivers of the north, like the other tribes, lived by gathering and hunting. It's just that unlike other tribes, their tribe likes to eat a kind of grass seed called millet, so the tribe name is called jishi.

Like other migratory tribes, they suffered from a drought in the aftermath of the devastating fires and had no choice but to move south. The timing of the migration itself is not right, but if you don't migrate, you can only starve to death in the local area, but if you move out, you may survive. Unexpectedly, since the beginning of their migration to the south in the fall, they have received very little food throughout the journey. Combined with clashes with animals that migrate south for the winter and food shortages, the tribal population has been reduced by nearly half, with fewer than 40 remaining.

As they went, the hungry and cold people ate most of the plant seeds they had stored, and the rest was not enough for everyone to reach the south and survive. When the leader of their tribe, Ji, fainted on the snow, the sound of the crowd crying attracted the attention of the falcons who were out hunting.

Seeing a group of people so depressed, Hayabusa immediately decided to provide them with a place to eat and warm. Seeing the six people in front of him neatly and quickly cutting down trees to build a hunter's hut for them to rest, and taking out the dried meat on their bodies to boil broth, feeling the strength of these people, the rescued Ji was deeply shocked.

Therefore, when Hayabusa introduces the strength of the Ding tribe and offers to invite them to join the Ding tribe, Ji and their doctor witch grass look at each other and agree. They knew that if they didn't want the tribe to be destroyed, they had to join the Ding tribe.

Hayabusa was glad that the leader's instructions had finally been completed, so after the food tribe had rested for two days, Hayabusa led his men to the direction of Deer Village. However, they were still a little worried about the Jishi tribe, worried that they would occupy the magpie's nest when they arrived in Lucun, and the falcon immediately decided to go directly to Ningcheng after making some supplies when they arrived in Lucun.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of departure, I encountered the second heavy snowfall of this winter. Fortunately, there is a hunter's hut nearby, so hurry up and finally get to the hunter's hut before dark. After eating the barbecue, everyone quickly fell asleep in a warm environment, leaving only Hayabusa there to think about when to leave.
