Chapter 214: The Journey of Taming the Beast/3 (Subscription Requested)
"What did you just say" Xiao Ling looked at the lark with a surprised face, Xiao Ling's mood at this time was complicated, and a sour taste instantly permeated his heart.
"With your Abba here, he will definitely protect Brother Tianzi!" The lark repeated what she had just said, and her sorrow made her forget to pay attention to Ling'er for a while.
In fact, what Xiao Ling cares about is the lark's sentence "Brother Tianzi", which was in the previous tribe, but her exclusive title, and now there is finally someone to share with her.
Women in primitive times actually did not have this kind of emotional jealousy, just like her Abba's three spouses, they just lived together, and they usually lived together as a family.
There will be no such emotional jealousy at all, it may be the reason why I have been with Wang Tian for a long time, and some of the love and hatred that only modern people have can already be seen in this 10-year-old girl.
"Oh..."
Xiao Ling replied with a gloomy expression, and then never spoke again, the lark was also listless, she didn't understand why every time he left, she always made herself unhappy......
Wang Tian, who was skiing rapidly, naturally didn't know the current mood of the two girls, but Wang Tian was in a very good mood now, and after dawn, the long-lost sun finally showed its head.
Looking at the silver-covered world in front of them, all the people in the tribe had already put on blindfolds, and everyone didn't know what to do with this strange object made by the Son of Heaven at first.
It wasn't until half a month of training that everyone found that their eyes were no longer as sore, swollen and sore as before, and they didn't cry when they looked at the snow-white ground again, that everyone understood the benefits of this thing.
Although they did not understand the truth, the truth that the snow in winter could not be stared at for a long time was all understood, and the world they saw through this strange pair of glasses no longer made their eyes uncomfortable, and they could not help but be full of emotion and admiration for the wisdom of the Son of Heaven again.
This time they walked the same route as the last time the leader came back from their surprise attack on the cows, the road that was easy for the cattle to pass, and it was much easier to ski forward, and the guide who led the team at the front was the giant salamander.
Entering the mountains and forests, naturally can no longer maintain the formation of the phalanx, so now the whole team is a long snake formation, in a flat place, grab each other's snowball fights, and pull each other forward to slide forward, which can save physical strength and not make people fall behind.
Of course, falls are inevitable, and in order to prevent the contents of the basket from being spilled after falling, every hole is pierced to death, and once you fall in a small place, you will fall into a piece.
Therefore, as Wang Tian, who has the best skiing skills, he has been watching the team closely all the way, and he doesn't want someone to be left behind by accident.
If one or two accidentally fell and were buried in the snow, it would be very wronged, which is why Wang Tian had to wait until the snow fell before setting off, because in the place where he could not see, there was probably a pit waiting for him.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, except for the crazy guy who was too crazy and shouted all the way, everyone only fell a few times, and it only took 4 hours to complete the journey that would have taken 6 hours.
This time, they still came to the same place where they had the last confrontation with the Youniu tribe, that is, the last time they dug and camped on the grassland.
The camp could still be used, but for warmth, it was no longer possible to simply cover the top with animal skins as before, and Wang Tian planned to build igloos like the Eskimos in the Arctic.
After arriving at the destination, Wang Tian asked everyone to rest a little and eat to replenish their strength, but this time they learned the lesson of the last time and did not make a fire, because they were afraid of retaliation from the Niu clan.
The number of people in this tribe, after all, is too much more than himself, and this time it is an away battle, if the Niu clan is determined to retaliate, there will always be casualties, which Wang Tian does not want to see.
So he decided to avoid the edge for the time being, at least after the tribe has finished resting, he will not be able to face them, the food is cooked cooked meat made in advance, it is this winter, it is hard to eat it and it is inevitable to eat it.
After that, I started to clear the snow from the pit I dug last time and used it to make ice bricks, and the ice and snow in the snow room were also required, and those that could be easily inserted with my fingers were not suitable for construction.
Therefore, Wang Tian first asked people to get rid of the floating snow on the surface, and only selected the snow that can only be inserted with a knife below, as for the solid ice layer that even a knife could not do, it was naturally discarded, and then used the shield to surround and fix it as a mold for making ice bricks.
Then he began to make snow bricks about a meter long, 40 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters thick, these were also made very quickly thanks to the bronze tools, and the copper shovels had already brought a few this time, and the red tassel gun could be used as a tool for chiseling ice cubes.
The snow used to make the ice bricks is the kind that has been initially crystallized but not completely frozen porcelain, so they can be put into the mold and quickly built up with a little pressure.
There is also a special construction method for roofs, which must be made into a dome and a low hut, and the snow bricks are arranged in a spiral shape to form a circle, and the gaps are filled with crushed snow, which is considered to be used as cement.
After about four or five turns, it is time to close, and then the rising slope must be increased so that the whole house closes at the roof.
After everyone's efforts, the tribesmen made snow bricks, and Wang Tianji giant salamanders were responsible for stacking them, and two hours later, three snow houses appeared above the originally dug holes.
There are more people in the tribe, and three rooms are not enough, so next to it, another one appears in each of them, a total of 5 houses, and less than 10 people live every day.
The overall size of the snow room is very small, and it is impossible to lie in it in all directions, but the big guys are squeezed, and even if there is no fire, it is still very warm inside.
Snow has a thermal insulation effect, in fact, it is also possible to make a fire, when you first start lighting a campfire, the ice on the walls and ceiling of the house will melt away a little.
But it's just a small layer that melts.
When the thin layers of melted on the walls and ceiling slowly freeze into a layer of ice again, the entire igloo becomes a single unit, and the dome has a strong supporting effect, and the bonfire can no longer easily melt the igloo with a layer of ice shell.
In order not to make the temperature inside the house too high, a small hole needs to be made in the top for ventilation, so that even if the snow continues, it will only make the igloo stronger and stronger.
After the house was finished, Wang Tian asked everyone to take turns guarding each other, and in one of the larger rooms, he lit a fire to boil the broth and give everyone some hot food to warm up.
Everyone looked at the snow house made by the Son of Heaven, and they all sighed, thinking that this was much faster than making adobe bricks, and everyone did not expect that the ice and snow that originally made people cold had now become a shelter for everyone.
During the day, everyone should hurry up and rest, and when their strength has recovered, they will conduct a preliminary reconnaissance for 4 weeks to determine where the wild horse herd is now.
Two hours later, the people of the Tianlong tribe who had recovered after repair were divided into four groups by the Son of Heaven, one group stayed to guard the camp, and the other three groups spread out from three different directions, in a team of ten people, to find the traces of the wild horse herd.
Wang Tian instructed them to leave enough time to go back and forth, not to go too deep into the hinterland, and a group of people was absolutely not allowed to separate, once they found a herd of wild horses, they only needed to feed briefly, and they must rush back to report the news.
If you meet someone from the Niu clan, try not to be discovered by the other party, and evacuate immediately, there must be no conflict, after all, this is their territory, in the case of not having an advantage in numbers, with the skis in their tribe, it is easy to leave.
It was the second brother who stayed to defend the camp, his guy, even skiing was very difficult, originally Wang Tian wanted to bring a team with himself and the leader and the thin head, but the leader resolutely disagreed.
For this, he was beaten by Wu, this time he would not agree to it anyway, and let the Son of Heaven lead the team alone, so the other pair was led by the experienced giant salamander, and the king also felt relieved, so he no longer quarreled with him.
Before dark, all three teams of men and horses returned, and everyone shook their heads at each other, and none of the three teams found any trace of the wild horses, and it seemed that they would have to go farther tomorrow......
