The bottom of the shoe is more wasteful, and it is worn with cattail rope one by one of the four warp threads. Every time you wear a grass rope, you have to use a cracked bamboo knot stuck on the warp thread, and pull the straw rope tightly in the direction of your body, and the strength should be even.

The straw sandals made in this way are firm, soft, and comfortable to wear, and the front can change from small to large, and finally from large to small. The change in size is achieved by controlling the width of the warp, and the width of the warp is determined by the seven teeth.

The sole is made like the sole of a flip-flop, and now it is necessary to add a string to this sole as a fastening to the foot. The heel of the sole should be added with a warp, with a width of two to three centimeters and a height of three centimeters, and a circle should be left on it as a rope hole. Then a thin rope about 60 cm long is threaded into the base of the thumb of the big foot, bypassing the warp, and then threaded back to straighten and align the two strings.

Two strings are put together, tied in a dead knot at three centimeters, and the straw sandals are basically made. When wearing it like flip-flops, the two strings run back along the sides of the foot, through the rope hole in the heel, cross and pull back, and tie it tightly on the instep.

Wearing straw sandals on his left foot and bare on his right foot, Ding Qi took two steps back and forth on the animal skin mat. At first, I felt a little prickly, which was caused by the rough straw rope and some itching on the feet. After walking a few more steps, my feet gradually adapted to the feeling of wearing straw sandals on my feet, and at the same time, the undulating grass prints on the soles of my feet had a feeling of stepping on pebbles, massaging the soles of my feet, which was somewhat comfortable.

Tincchi feels okay on the whole, but if he steps on dirt or stones, he will be a little awkward, but it is much better than barefoot.

The little cutie watched Ding Qi step on his two feet, swing his head from side to side, shake his ears, and lie there sleeping, as if he couldn't understand Daddy's interest in a pile of grass. What is there to step on in grass?

Ding Qi sat down and continued to knit another straw sandal, and there was a commotion in his ears, it should be that the "students" were out of class. After a while, Ben and Buck entered the house and were stunned when they saw Ding Qi weaving straw shoes.

They don't know what Ding Qi is doing, they haven't seen it!

When Ding Qi saw the two of them coming back, he handed the braided straw sandals to Ben, and smiled:

"Come on, come on, Ben, give you a good thing. You sit outside the door, take off your leather shoes, and try them on with these straw sandals. ”

"Straw sandals? Is this the same shoe as animal leather shoes? How do you wear it? ”

Ben looked confused, and so did the buck, looking at the strange straw sandals in Ben's hand, and at the few grasses that Ding Qi was weaving, scratching his head, and giving Ding Qi the same puzzled expression. That means saying:

"What the hell is this, straw sandals? Can you wear it? ”

Ding Qi stood up, took it from Ben's hand, and showed Ben how to wear it. After Ben understood it, he sat outside the door according to Ding Qi's request, took off his animal skin shoes, and a wisp of heat steamed, followed by a salty smell rushed into the house from the door, hitting Ding Qi's nostrils.

Ding Qi picked up a small piece of thin wooden board next to him in advance and fanned it, and after three or two clicks, he finally didn't smell the stench. He asked Ben to wear it outside the door because he knew the power of Ben's stinky feet, it felt really sour!

Ben also knew the power of his feet, so after taking off his shoes, he dried his feet in sweat before tying two laces in the same way that Ding Qi had just worn straw sandals

(String).

"Huh? It's very comfortable to wear! ”

Ben put it on and walked back and forth twice, and it felt pretty good.

Ding Qi frowned, glanced at the other party's feet suspiciously, and then turned his head to continue weaving straw shoes, automatically ignoring the calloused soles.

That little bit of grass thorn was not a problem for Ben.

"Okay, if it feels good, tomorrow we will arrange some people to collect grass during the day, and after drying it, we will teach everyone how to make straw sandals, and each of them will make their own, so that everyone will not have to be barefoot or wrapped in animal skin shoes to cover their stinky feet and sweat."

The buck next to him saw that it was very comfortable to walk around, and he hurriedly stepped forward to come over and try it himself, and it was so comfortable that he grinned. Then he took off the straw sandals on his feet with great care, put them in his arms, and squatted down in front of Ding Qi to see how he knitted the straw sandals, while Ben used a newly made clay pot to bring hot water, washed his feet, and sat there watching intently.

After being woken up by the two who came back, the little cutie was a little irritated and wanted to glare at the two. But no matter how much it stared, its eyes just didn't change, and they were still as big. In vain, it had to walk back to the back room, wake up Xiong Daxiong Er, and signal them to go out to find food to eat.

The two bears that make the cutie the boss are spoiled by the cutie, and they are supposed to rest at night, so they go out every night at this time to find some food for supper. In their cognition, sleeping on an empty stomach at night is not a beautiful experience.

In the yard there is Mei and they prepare food for the two of them, mainly fish, and sometimes some plant tubers are added to improve their taste. At present, they are probably less than six months old, and they are already the size of adult Tibetan mastiffs, weighing about 160 pounds. The daily food consumption of each bear is about 20 catties, which is a solid snack goods.

If it weren't for the Ding tribe, they wouldn't have been able to live so chic and comfortable, maybe they were sleeping hungry around their mother at the moment.

"Give it to me! Give me! ”

"Leader, Elder Xionglu snatched my straw sandals."

"Okay, Ben, I'll go back and teach you, make it up yourself!"

After Tinckey weaves another straw sandal, the bucks and Ben scramble for them, and they are finally stuffed into the buck's hands by Dink.

The buck laughed, turned and rushed out of the house, his agile appearance not at all like a primitive old man in his forties.

After a while, I heard a woman's surprise cry from the adobe house behind the house, and the sound was supposed to be plum, mixed with the sour laughter of flowers and grass.

Woo~

A melodious, low, and majestic trumpet sound was heard, and the tribe, which had been a little noisy just a moment ago, fell into calm in an instant, leaving only the echo formed by the horn to float around until it disappeared.

This horn was made by the horn of the bison that Tinch had recently killed in his spare time, along with the knives, saws, and steel files on the multifunctional Swiss Army knife.

As soon as it was ready, Ding Qi couldn't wait to blow the horn. The voice was low and majestic, but for primitive people who had never heard such a voice, it was like a magic sound from the abyss, which frightened them to the ground one by one while they were eating, and they didn't even have the courage to get up and escape.

The horse pens, reindeer, and the small domesticated animals were all frightened and screamed in the enclosure

Not only that, jumping up and down, crashing into the circle door, etc.

Even the two leaders of the Qiang and Ren tribes were so frightened that they lay on the ground, not daring to move, looking at Ding Qi who was blowing the horn, and a sense of fear welled up from the bottom of their hearts. There is no longer any doubt about the identity of Ding Qi Aragami, and only Aragami can make this kind of terrifying magic sound that is more terrifying than the roar of the most ferocious saber-toothed tiger.

At that time, Ding Qi, who had just blown twice, also showed considerable shock at everyone's behavior.

Ding Qi quickly stopped blowing the horn and stood on a high place to explain, and at the same time arranged for someone who was in a slightly better situation to help everyone sit or stand up, and let Tu go to appease the captive animals.

To make it clear, those who are prepared are gradually getting used to the horn blowing every day. Animals in captivity are also accustomed to the presence of this sound, and they still panic when they don't blow every day. So far, the horn has become the second tool used in tribal life in the tribe in addition to the bronze plate sound of warning, informing everyone to get up, eat, sleep, etc.

Therefore, the horn just now is used to tell everyone to hurry up and go to bed. As for the next morning, the horn will also sound, which is considered a wake-up call. In addition, in the training of the fighters, Ding Qi also added the horn sound, just telling everyone that if you hear the horn horn, it means that it means attacking, and you must move forward bravely and not retreat. When you hear the sound of the bronze plate knocking, it means to gather the team and stop fighting.

Up to now, the construction of the city wall has been more than halfway, and the pace of construction is still accelerated under Ben's supervision. Within the city walls, the construction of the main hall was going a little faster than expected. After the foundation was built, the masonry of the four walls was very fast. Seven days have passed, and the walls of the main hall have been built with a height of 10 meters and a thickness of 36 centimeters, except for the windows.

Subsequently, Jing arranged for someone to transport the girders that had been sharpened with adzes and erected into a triangle to the framework of the main hall and prepared to put on the beams! The top is stuck with that kind of anchor to fix the shape of the girder. The girder is two meters high and thirty meters long, and it takes six or seven people to pull the weight at that end.

Going to the beam is a hard work, and you need to prepare in advance, and Ben specially selected the strong people among the soldiers to come over to do this. Ding Qi also pulled Zhuang over to help, Ding Qi knew that his strength in the tribe was definitely the greatest, and Zhuang was also more powerful than the two ordinary clansmen.

The girders had already cut two grooves to tie the egg-thick ropes. In the main hall, a five-meter-high scaffold was also erected between the front and rear walls, and the girder was first dragged to the scaffolding, and then continued to pull it up to the wall. Two strands of rope are also tied to the top of the girder, which are pulled to the left and right walls respectively to ensure that it will not overturn.

A nine-and-a-half-meter-high scaffold was erected on the outside of the front and rear walls, and the last step of the beam was pulled up by the person who pulled the beam up, which can be regarded as ensuring the safety of personnel. The scaffolding on the lower floor will also use fist-thick wooden sticks against the girder to help erect it.

After eating a full meal and resting for an hour, the people who went up to the beam first participated in the sacrificial ceremony presided over by the deer, praying for the smooth and safe process of the whole beam and no accidents.

Then all the upper beam people are grouped according to the plan, standing in the corresponding position, up and down two floors, one on the front and one on the left and right, a total of six groups of people to erect a beam.
