Ben has already built the cave kiln, and tomorrow he can burn charcoal, and burn as much charcoal as possible. Ding Qi inspected the construction of each cave kiln, and the length, width and height were the same, with a length of two meters and two, a depth of one meter and a half, and a height of one meter and a half. These caves are built on a mound platform, and all the snow on them is cleared around, and they look neatly aligned. At the entrance of each cave was a wall of mud made of grass and mud, as well as a pile of mud, which was sealed as soon as the charcoal began to burn.

In fact, there are three kinds of charcoal burning: kiln firing, dry distillation and mechanism method, and now the kiln firing method is used, and the mechanism method requires the corresponding machine. As for the dry distillation method, the wood is placed in the dry still to isolate the air and fired, according to the kiln method is divided into black charcoal and white charcoal, white charcoal is harder than black charcoal, but this method is more complicated, less time, and Ding Qi's method is simple to operate, the time is longer.

Outside one of the caves, there were five or six partitions made of mud and grass, and three round clay tablets to be used as lids, all ready to be fired into shapes for smelting copper ore.

After seeing the situation in the cave kiln, Ding Qi became more and more satisfied with Ben's work, allowing him to go out independently and lead another team to develop.

Then I looked at the situation of the felled wood, and accumulated several piles, enough to burn the first kiln tomorrow. Ding Qi arranged for Ben to divide the people into two teams after starting to burn the first kiln, one team went to find Ding Qi, and the other team stayed behind to take care of the cave kiln. As for the Kura's team, they continued to cut down trees and prepare more raw materials.

Back at the shack, he had dinner with everyone, and before it was dark, Ding Qi summoned everyone to a flat and open place.

Nodding with satisfaction, Ding Qi said to everyone:

"I've noticed that there's a negative mood among people lately, not because people don't work hard, but because of the attitude that people show after they finish their work. This kind of attitude is manifested after everyone feels empty and bored, which is not available when everyone took a sauna and competed some time ago. ”

Ding Qi paused, looked at everyone's expressions, and continued:

"Since everyone is bored, I'm going to find something for everyone to do and teach everyone a way to have fun. Fight on crutches! ”

After speaking, Ding Qi showed everyone what is called fighting crutches, which is a must-play activity for every boy in his childhood. In his childhood, Ding Qi thought it was the most intense and macho game, and many burly girls also liked this kind of game, and it was amazingly lethal.

I like this activity when I play little Dingqi, and I am also the captain of the two crutch teams in the class, and I often play the game of battling and attacking the city with another team of classmates on the garbage heap.

Now Ding Qi will tell everyone about this game, so that everyone can be more fulfilling and happy in this boring winter. If possible, he still wants to take everyone to play football together, some people say that football is not good, how is it possible? A bag of animal skins, stuffed with some animal hair, sewn and ready to use. It's also a great team game.

Everyone was very curious about how to play the game that the leader told everyone, and they all watched Ding Qi's demonstration in the field with wide eyes, watching the leader toss and turn in the middle of the field with one foot on his own, flying up and down, and everyone was unexpected

There is also a feeling of enthusiasm and eagerness to try. After the demonstration, Ding Qi taught them one by one how to hold their ankles with one or both hands, the essentials of movement, and pay attention to balance and body coordination.

Then Ding Qi divided them into pairs according to their size, and each pair practiced crutches, collided with each other, chased each other, and had a lot of fun. Later, some people felt that their opponents were weak, and began to look for people who were strong in the field to catch and kill, among which Xiong and Zhuang were the most courageous.

The two were also evenly matched, and they collided fiercely, trying to separate each other's hands and ankles. They are like two generals on the battlefield, trying to defeat their opponents in every round. Although the bear is not as tall, he is much stronger than the others, and he is more agile, and he always kills a horse pistol when he is being chased, puts his knees on his strong thighs, the backs of his hands, and even directly hits them.

But the result is still not strong. And Zhuang also seemed a little shameless, from time to time a Tarzan pressed the top, pressing the strength of his whole body on the entire knee of the bear, trying to crush the other party. But every time he was flashed by the bear, he slid past Zhuang's side between one-legged movements.

The others no longer fought with each other, and formed a circle, watching the wonderful duel between the two in the field, until after a big collision between the two, they were physically exhausted, and they both fell to the ground, and a huge cheer sounded around them, which spread far away.

In the cave of the Qing tribe, everyone was having dinner, and everyone was holding a branch with a piece of black meat stuck on the top, and put it on the fire in the cave, staring intently, constantly turning around, and after a while, they glanced to both sides for fear that someone would come and grab their food.

Head and Face sat in the middle, and just as he was about to pass the blackened piece of meat into his mouth, a faint cacophony came to his ears, like a human cheer. This made his hand shake, and the flesh from the branch almost fell into the fire.

"What is this sound, could it be that there are people from other tribes around?"

The leader wanted to send someone out to check on the situation, but the deep night and the whining of the wind made him flinch and make him afraid to make this decision.

Since the death of the tribal doctor and the loss of so many manpower, the tribe has reduced the food harvested by one-third compared to the usual harvest, especially the escape of the dozen or so people who used it as reserve food, which has made the tribe's situation fall to the ground, and the glory of the past is gone.

The level of the new doctors and witches is limited, and they can't calm everyone's restless emotions at all, which makes everyone have more and more conflicts recently, and even extreme situations have occurred. Some time ago, an elderly clansman was pushed against a stone wall because he accidentally touched his subordinates, and accidentally hit him to death, which caused some clansmen to be angry.

But under the temptation of the food brought by this **, no one was angry anymore, and they stepped forward to ask for their own share of food, for fear that they would be late and would not have their own share. While everyone was going to eat meat, there was only one person who didn't come forward, and that was the son of the dead woman.

The young man who had no food to eat was arranged by himself to go out to find food, thinking that he would starve to death or freeze to death, and the people who accompanied him also told everyone that he was no longer able to do it and had collapsed on the snow, which finally relieved him.

But the man who went to drag the body came back and reported that he could not find it

When it came to the corpse, it made my heart tense again, did someone drag him away or was he taken away by a beast? It shouldn't be that someone dragged him away, this snowy day, but no one can run a long distance to come out, even if he comes out, he will only go around his tribe, and he will not run far at all, which is an act of looking for death.

So in every way, the young man is dead, and he will not come back, and there will be no more unpleasant or unpleasant things.

And just like I thought just now, the voices I heard were just misheard, and no one dared to stay away from the tribe.

Is there such a person? The leader asked himself.

Yes, but it has not yet been born.

Ding Qi returned to the shack with the big guy who was still unsatisfied, brought the door, and took advantage of everyone's excitement to tell everyone another story.

"White Fang, let me ask you, do you know how many ways to catch fish?"

Ding Qi first opened the conversation by asking questions, and at the same time turned everyone's attention to his side.

"Chief, the fishing methods I know include: spearing fish, using your net to fish, and going down to the river with hand claws, these are the few ways."

White Fang thought for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, White Fang is right. I would like to add that there is another way to fish in the dry waters. What does that mean? They enclose a lake or a river, and then drain all the water in it, and finally only the big and small fish are left inside, and all the fish in it are gone. ”

"But have you noticed the consequences of this approach?"

Everyone was thinking hard, and they were talking about what the consequences would be, but they thought about it and didn't get a satisfactory answer, and in the end only one person said a word:

"All the fish in it have been eaten, and there will be no more fish in the lake!"

"That's right, there will be no more fish in the lake. Waiting for them, there will be no fish in this lake, and there will be no food for the tribe. And this kind of practice of only caring about immediate interests and not making long-term plans is called fishing in the dry water. And the idea that when everyone came out to hunt yesterday, the kind of hunting method that they showed and wished to leave all the animals behind is also wrong! ”

After Ding Qi finished speaking, everyone in the shack realized that they had done something wrong, and knelt there one after another, saying that they would never do this kind of dry and fishing thing in the future. When the goal was achieved, Ding Qi didn't say much more, believing that they all knew what it meant.

After each person poured a bowl of hot dandelion tea, Ding Qi asked everyone to go to bed quickly, but everyone's excitement disappeared very late.

The next morning, the people of Ding Qi's team carried shovels to the mine to start building the ash kiln, and Ben led everyone to start burning charcoal, putting in wood, igniting and sealing the kiln, and also put the prepared partitions and discs into it until the final harvest. Kura continued to cut wood in the forest for more opportunities to store enough wood.

The ash kiln built by Ding Qi is similar to before, except that this time he brought a sieve and prepared to sieve out some fine soil, there are many stones around here, and some fine soil is needed to smooth the kiln body, increase the temperature of the kiln body, and also improve the speed and efficiency of the kiln body to fire ore.
