Volume 1 The First Advent of the Primordial Chapter 20 House Formation, Arrow Making, and Female Beast Hunting
Then Ding Qi took an axe to the bamboo forest, cut down dozens of fist-thick bamboos and dragged them back, all of them were cut into five-and-a-half-meter-long bamboo poles, and placed horizontally on the wooden wall built last night with the help of a two-meter-long wooden pole, forming a relatively dense roof. Three bamboos are then tied to those bamboos along the roof, and the other roof does the same, making the whole roof stronger.
Next, Ding Qi spent more than ten hours to complete the rest of the construction of the wooden house, and the roof was covered with a thick layer of bamboo branches and bamboo leaves on the basis of the bamboo poles, and then mixed weeds and yellow mud and spread them on the roof, a thick layer to smooth it so that the rainwater could flow down quickly.
For the places where there are gaps in the wooden house and the wall, Ding Qi also smeared them with yellow mud to ensure that the wooden house is impermeable and does not leak rain.
The door of the hut faces south, and a door made of pine is installed, and there is a door between the bedroom and the living room, but there is no door. The whole wooden house looks simple, but it is a wooden house that makes Ding Qi feel warm and happy.
I took time out to have dinner with the cutie. Dinner is dandelion porridge and roasted hedgehog, the hedgehog meat is very fragrant, there is a lot of meat and oil, Ding Qi eats with a round belly, and even collects half of the lunch box lid hedgehog oil, which he uses to maintain the bow, of course, it would be even better if there was vegetable oil, and the maintenance effect would be better.
And the cutie is obviously interested in hedgehog meat when she drinks porridge, and after a while she should be able to let her eat a little meat, but it should still be based on milk or rice porridge. There is not much rice and compressed dry food in the bag, and I have to find a replacement milk source for the cutie as soon as possible.
In order to make the wooden house dry as soon as possible, he built a fire in the house and continuously dried the roof and the surrounding area of the ground, so that people could live in it more comfortably. Ding Qi was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he brought a few stones and smashed them with an axe, picked out some suitable stones from them, made stone arrows with multi-functional Swiss Army knives, and then tied them tightly to the bamboo arrows with vine fibers, increasing the weight and increasing the lethality of the arrows.
The next morning, after breakfast, Tincchi went to the pine forest again, and found some pine resin, wrapped it in leaves, and picked some dandelion roots, which he prepared to use to make a binder from the white emulsion of the pine resin and dandelion roots, and to stick the feathers at the tail of the arrow.
Pine resin itself is a good binder, which can be used by heating and stirring evenly on the fire. Dantinki wanted to strengthen the stickiness of the pine resin, and was ready to add the white liquid from the dandelion roots. This liquid appears after breaking the dandelion root and is very sticky when twisted with your fingers.
Ding Qi took out a cleaned stone slab and put it on the bonfire, the fire was not big, and the flames just touched the bottom of the stone slab. The pine resin was put on, and as the temperature of the slate gradually increased, the pine resin slowly melted, and when it was all melted, Ding Qi poured the dandelion root liquid that had been prepared at hand into the pine resin, stirred it quickly until it was fully fused, and took the slate aside.
Holding an arrow in his left hand and a thin bamboo branch in his right hand, pick up a little pine resin mixture and rub it on the tail of the arrow five centimeters upward, and then take out one from a pile of longitudinally cut in half pheasant tail feathers and gently stick it on the pine resin, and press it tightly; Then paste the same two tail feathers and use the small scissors that come with the multi-purpose Swiss Army knife to trim the feathers, and an arrow is made.
Ding Qi made twenty arrows in a row, then took out his longbow and put an arrow on it, and with a little aim, he shot towards a big tree fifty meters away.
With a whoosh, the long arrow in Ding Qi's hand went straight to the target and slammed into the trunk of the tree.
Buzz~ The tail of the long arrow swings quickly and makes a buzzing sound.
Ding Qi stepped forward, pulled out the arrow, and found that the arrow was an inch and a half deep into the trunk of the tree, and it seemed that the power of the bow and arrow was quite good.
Turning back to the campfire, Tinch was fully armed, wearing a Penny, dressed in camouflage uniform, carrying a mountain knife at his waist, a straight knife tied to his legs, a bow and arrows on his back, a wooden spear, and a flying stone rope wrapped around his waist, and walked towards the place where antelope and deer had been observed in the past few days, and he was ready to go and catch an animal that could provide milk.
Next to a bush, Ding Qi, who disguised himself, stared at a group of antelopes not far ahead, observing whether there were any small antelopes. One way antelopes can protect their children is by keeping them lying in the grass so that predators don't notice them. Dantinch had been staring at them for more than an hour, but had not found a small antelope, not even a suspicious sign.
Just as he was about to get up and try his luck in another place, the antelope herd suddenly began to run, and they scattered like a herd of jumping elves. Behind them, a saber-toothed tiger was in hot pursuit, its majestic body running with incredible momentum, chasing after its target.
With two swishs, the panicked antelope crossed over Tinch's head hidden on the edge of the bushes, but did not find Tinch. And the saber-toothed tiger was like a Mercedes-Benz car, and with a terrifying majesty, it also came straight in the direction of Ding Qi.
This made Ding Qi's heart squatting there tighten, and his brain told him to run quickly, but the intuition developed in his military career made him stop in place and remain motionless, but the rapidly beating heart showed that he was now extremely uncalm in his heart, and there was an ancient saber-toothed tiger below, and a saber-toothed tiger with a body larger than the Siberian tiger, and the psychological pressure was not ordinary.
The sound of the wind sounded, and the saber-toothed tiger ran past him, and the wind it brought up blew the bushes around him to the ground, and even the leaves on Ding Qi's body were blown.
The pressure on Ding Qi's body suddenly lightened, listening to the mournful scream of the antelope as it fell to the ground behind him and the suppressed roar of the saber-toothed tiger in his throat, Ding Qi slowly got up and walked in the other direction, so as not to disturb the saber-toothed tiger eating.
Half an hour later, Tinch was in a jungle of sparks. The grass on the ground is not deep, and there are some traces of herbivores around, including footprints, dung, etc., the footprints are some like deer, some like sheep, and the feces are like sheep feces and eggs. Not far away, a group of banlu grazing also proved Ding Qi's conjecture.
It was already nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and if he couldn't find the target, Ding Qi was ready to test the power of the flying stone rope and bow and arrow in actual combat. On the way over, he has tried the flying stone rope many times, and basically mastered the throwing method of the flying stone rope, and the success rate of hitting the target has reached more than 80%; The skill and accuracy of the bow and arrow also improved rapidly, as evidenced by a pheasant and a rabbit hanging from it.
Still didn't find it, Ding Qi moved quickly in this jungle, hiding his body while constantly searching, just when he felt a little discouraged and was about to give up looking, there was a faint sound similar to a sheep's cry in the wind, the sound was not urgent, obviously they were in a good mood, they should be leisurely grazing.
Ding Qi's spirit suddenly perked up, and he quickly ran in the direction where the sound came from, fortunately it was a headwind, and he didn't have to worry about the smell on his body being discovered by the animal.
Some white figures appeared in his sight, and Ding Qi took out the Lookout to look at them. This is a flock of sheep, with curly fur like sheep, and a fist-large fat tail behind the buttocks, some with horns, some without horns, and some male and female. One thing they have in common is that they have long legs, and knee-deep grass doesn't affect how fast they can walk.
This should be a flock of sheep who are good at running, Ding Qi thought. I counted about fifteen of them, and among them were lactating ewes that Ding Qi was looking forward to.
Ding Qi put his eyes on the horizon and slowly moved forward, so as not to be discovered by them in advance and fall short. Eighty meters, fifty meters, twenty meters, until fifteen meters later, Ding Qi did not dare to move, carefully observing the activities of the ewes.
