Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 93 The Shadow Slinging (Proofreading)
While Wang Tian and Xiao Ling were making the bamboo shield, the rest of the tribe was working together to handle the 10-ton fish and meat, as well as the more than a dozen beasts that Wang Tian had hunted today.
The second brother of King Kong sharpened the metal axe again, took off the fur of the three leopards, cleaned it with the tiger skin obtained today, and put it in Hall 3 to dry.
According to Wang Tian's request, the second brother also collected some of the 10 wild boar skins out of the 15 wild boars, which can be used to make pig maw glue and can also be used to make shoes.
Pigskin is definitely not good for use as leather to keep warm, but it is still possible to use it to make uppers, pigskin shoes are not only durable, but also have good warmth.
The tribe's limited hides made it impossible to make leather shoes from skins that could keep them warm, but as winter approached, shoe making had to be put on the agenda.
The hides in the soaking pool should already be ready for nitration, but there is no time now, and Wang Tian plans to soak them for a few more days before processing them.
The food obtained by the hunting team was handled very quickly because of the metal axe, and the butcher of the second brother of King Kong kept chopping in a pile of meat forests, and soon dismembered 18 wild boars and leopards.
Five large tanks were brought to the side of the makeshift bathhouse, and the dismembered and groomed fish and meat were all dried and cleaned, and then they were taken to a row of large clusters and smeared and wiped with dietary salt, and then thrown into a pile
After a day of marinating, the meat can be smoked and grilled to make bacon. And those pickled fish need to be left for 3 days to let it absorb the flavor and marinate, and then it can be hung directly to dry.
In order not to waste the salt, all the fish is rubbed with salt and thrown into several large vats. In this way, the remaining salt can also be used for the next pickling.
In order to speed up the processing time of the fish, Wang Tian disassembled several knives and scissors and other tools from his saber to speed up the work of disemboweling and eviscerating the fish.
The sharpness of stone knives is far from being comparable to that of metal. In the face of slippery and scaly fish, the processing speed is very slow.
During this period of time, Kuroko and Oteji made many large pottery jars with bamboo baskets as bones, all of which were stacked on the right side of the tribe gate and stacked against the mountain. This time I took it all out and used it.
If there is no such batch of large clay jars, the fish will be more troublesome to handle, and the salt used will be wasted a lot.
Wang Tian has not had time to investigate the distribution of salt, and the tribe has boiled two batches of salt, and all the ore is taken from the cave where the tribe lives.
Although it seems that there is an abundance of salt at present, it cannot be wasted, and the brine left over after marinating the fish is not complicated to distill, and it is much easier to re-dig the ore for refining.
Wang Tian wanted to take a good look at the salt veins after the wall was built, and if they could be mined from outside the cave, they would be able to reduce the damage to the cave.
Wang Tian didn't understand this thing, he was worried that the cave would collapse because of this, so he resolutely couldn't waste any salt.
Now before the arrival of the snow season, according to the previous experience of the tribe, there is still about a month to go, and at present, in addition to the food has been prepared, there are no winter clothes, shoes and hats.
In addition, the "bed" where everyone sleeps in the cave also needs to be transformed into a fire kang for heating, and the primitive people have lived in the dark and damp cave for a long time, and the nutrition cannot keep up, which causes low intellectual development and a general short life expectancy.
Don't look at Wu's hair and beard is already half-white, according to Wang Tian's estimate, Wu is in his early 50s at most, but he looks like a person in his 70s.
Now the sanitary conditions of the tribe have been greatly improved under the proposal and requirements of Wang Tian. Uniform toilet access and disposal of excreta; A special makeshift bathroom was set aside to clean the body;
Toothbrushes made of wild boar hair, and salt as toothpaste, to clean and protect the mouth, teeth and mouth are good, in order to eat, physical fitness, human life extension can be guaranteed;
Drink boiled water to prevent illness from entering the mouth; Coupled with the abundance of food, the health of the people in the tribe has improved.
Especially the children in the tribe, they have gone from being yellow and thin when Wang Tian first came, to now everyone has a ruddy complexion, and this group of minors is the fire and hope of the tribe in the future.
After Wang Tian arrived, he has subtly changed many things, constantly improving the harsh living environment.
Wang Tian believes that once the houses are built, human beings will leave the dark and damp caves and live in spacious and dry houses, and with the continuous improvement of food and hygiene, the increase in human life expectancy will also be a matter of course.
Tonight, everyone in the tribe has to work longer, everyone is busy, doing their own things, Wang Tian and Xiao Ling made the five-sided bamboo shield again, Wang Tian began to make the sling.
The slingling is a very simple and efficient tool, Wang Tian also played with his friends when he was a child, but because of an accidental play, Wang Tian's hand mistake, a dog from a nearby farmer was directly killed, this is really just an accident, Wang Tian can swear.
At that time, a group of children, in the midst of the chaos, with the strength of a small child, flew out of the sling, and there was such a quasi-head, impartial, it actually hit the unlucky dog's head, and then, there was no more.
In the end, this matter naturally went to the dean, and the people at that time were relatively kind, and the farmer was not thinking about how much money he was going to make, but he was frightened by the danger of this group of children playing, and the game.
A simple rope, tied to a leather pocket, just because it happened to hit the dog's head, a small life will whine, if this hits someone, the consequences are unimaginable.
At that time, the dean was also startled, and the dean, who had never scolded the children, beat Wang Tian firmly in a fit of anger that day.
Wang Tian didn't blame the dean at all, in fact, even now that he thought about it, Wang Tian was so scared that he didn't want to.
At that time, a large group of friends were around, and fortunately he didn't hit anyone, otherwise Wang Tian would have to be transferred from the welfare home to the juvenile detention center, so he would not want to go to college or be a soldier in the end.
While reminiscing about the past, Wang Tian once again focused his attention on the design and production of the weapon that had caused him a catastrophe.
Wang Tian found two ropes of the same length, as well as a piece of animal skin, and tied a leather bag made of animal skin in the middle of the rope, and such a simple slinging was made.
With the painful lesson of the past, Wang Tian took the slingling rope that had just been made, and the shadow area in his heart began to expand indefinitely.
But for the sake of the tribe, the memories that had been unbearable must be erased and overcome, so he randomly picked up a stone of the right size as ammunition and ran to a corner far away from the entrance of the cave to practice.
In this era, although there are no policemen and no deans, mistakes are mistakes, danger is danger, and regardless of irresponsibility, it is irresponsible to oneself and others.
Based on his previous experience, Wang Tian placed a stone in the animal skin pouch as ammunition, and then grabbed the end of the rope and gradually accelerated above his head to swing and spin the sling.
After four or five rotations, when the speed of rotation reaches its maximum, release one of the ropes, and the stone in the leather bag is thrown in a tangential direction.
Only two thumps were heard, and the thrown stone ammunition hit the gable, bounced off and fell to the ground.
Wang Tian estimated the range and accuracy, and found that he was not very satisfied, but it was not satisfactory, and it was too far from his own shooting level.
This weapon has left too much psychological shadow on himself, and the poor performance may have a lot to do with this, and with the lessons of the past, he decided that the training of this weapon must be carried out separately in the future.
It is absolutely impossible for a group of people to draw circles together and cause unpredictable dangers, after all, this is a slinging that has cast a shadow on his childhood.
