Chapter 40: Teng Dun
[Note that the rattan used to make Teng Dun is special, otherwise I wouldn't have looked for so long to find a suitable one]
The impurity salt traded from the deer tribe was all purified into fine salt, which was divided into two large pottery and packed, looking at the fine white salt contained in the large pottery, Zhi kept grinning, apparently eating salted food in recent days made Zhi attach great importance to salt, and salt was no longer indispensable in his life.
Now that the Snake Tribe has so much salt, the Snake Tribe will trade with the Deer Tribe to obtain salt in the future, which is enough for all the people of the Snake Tribe to eat a little salt every day.
At first, they will only think that food with salt is more delicious, but gradually they will find that they are not easy to get tired from working on weekdays, which is only the second benefit of salt, and salt also has a very important role - food pickled with salt can be stored for a longer time.
On weekdays, the food obtained by the snake tribe every day, such as fish and beast meat, will basically be eaten within two days, and will never be put on the third day, and on the third day, the food will spoil, and it is easy to get sick after eating spoiled food, and the ancestors of the snake tribe have figured out this law.
If it rains heavily for many days in the future, you can go out to get food, just eat the pickled food, and if you collect the food before winter, if you use salt to marinate the food, you can start preparing the food for the winter very early without worrying about the food spoiling, and you don't need to be busy collecting food in the autumn.
However, the snake tribe still has too little salt now, and only a part of the salt can be used to pickle a small amount of food, and the snake tribe also needs to trade with the deer tribe to obtain more salt, or the snake tribe can find the origin of salt by itself, the deer tribe can find the origin of salt, and the snake tribe can also find the origin of salt.
Time continued, and after another rainy day passed, the first special house of the snake tribe was completed, and in a few days, Su Yan would move into this house, along with Su Yan's adoptive mother and Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters.
In fact, Su Yan's adoptive mother also has a spouse, a person who is in the middle and lower strength of adult males in the snake tribe, ordinary and has no characteristics, looks loyal and honest, and is usually a little taciturn, Su Yan gave him a snake twenty-eight number.
The adoptive mother has never conceived a child since giving birth to Xiaoyue, Su Yan judged from her own experience that it should be that the sanitary conditions in this era are too poor, and the adoptive mother was infected when she gave birth to Xiaoyue and suffered from infertility, even if Su Yan has enough medicinal materials on hand to cure it, it is very difficult, not to mention that there are only a handful of medicinal materials found so far.
There are several people in the snake tribe who are in the same situation as their adoptive mothers, they are no longer able to have children, but it doesn't matter if they can't have children, they can still use their labor to contribute to the tribe, and strong adult women are much stronger than men who have just reached adulthood.
It is expected that after Su Yan moves into the house, the new batch of two standard houses of the Snake Tribe will be almost completed, and by the end of summer, all the people of the Snake Tribe will be able to leave the cave and live in the house.
Because he had found a suitable rattan, Su Yan took his adoptive mother and several other adult female clansmen to try to weave Teng Dun.
Women are more ingenious than men, and almost all of the straw ropes, straw sandals, rattan shoes, baskets and other things of the snake tribe are woven by women, and men are more energetic.
It is not too troublesome to compile Teng Dun, you can use rattan to weave a basket, you can basically compile Teng Dun, but after many attempts, you can compile a rattan suitable for hunting teams.
The rattan is round, with a diameter of between half a meter and one meter, and the rattan has high toughness, but in order to prevent it from being torn by the claws of the beast, the rattan is made of two layers of rattan together, increasing the thickness of the rattan, anyway, the rattan is very light, even if it is thickened, it does not affect the use.
Soon, a rattan card was compiled, Su Yan took the rattan card to find Zhi, and explained to Zhi the usefulness of the rattan card, Zhi understood that this rattan card was used to resist the claws of wild beasts, and immediately rejoiced, but this rattan card has not yet been tested in battle, and Zhi has to test it himself.
Zhi found Dali, he asked Dali to hold the rattan card in his left hand to protect his body, and Zhi used his spear to stab the rattan card held by Dali.
Well, Zhi is "bullying" the simple-minded force, if the head is a little clearer, this test is caused by a certain danger, once the rattan card defense is not enough to be pierced by the stone spear, it will make the person holding the rattan card injured.
Su Yan tested this rattan card a little after the first rattan card was made, and had a general understanding of the defensive ability of the rattan brand, with Zhi's sharp weapon, unless it was a sharp metal weapon, it was still difficult to break through the rattan brand's defense with a blow with the rough stone weapon in the snake tribe, so he didn't stop Zhi.
Tests began.
Zhi and vigorously stood in the center of the field, Zhi held a stone spear, and vigorously held a Teng shield in his left hand to protect his upper body, and there were some clansmen around him who were watching the excitement.
"I'm going to go." Zhizhi reminded vigorously.
"Okay." Vigorously and honestly said that he was ready.
Bang!
The stone spear quickly hit Teng Dun, and he stood firmly in place, and there was no broken place on Teng Dun, only the rattan where it was hit by the stone spear was slightly broken.
Obviously, Zhi didn't use all his strength.
Zhi withdrew the stone spear, and in an instant, the stone spear slammed into Teng Dun, and he still stood firmly in place, and the rattan on Teng Dun that was hit by the stone spear was also seriously damaged, and it was about to break.
It can be seen that this time Zhi is really hard, but I don't know how much force is used.
"Be careful this time." Zhi reminded vigorously, this time Zhi is going to use more strength.
"Okay." Vigorously and seriously replied.
Bang!
The stone spear hit Teng Dun like lightning, and he took half a step back slightly, and Teng Dun was also pierced by a hole in the stone spear, and the first layer of the two-layer Teng Dun had been penetrated, and the second time had been damaged, if the strength was greater, maybe Teng Dun would be penetrated.
The test was over, Zhi took Teng Dun, carefully looked at the three positions of his three attacks, and smiled on his rough big face.
Zhi imitated the beast's claws to attack Teng Dun, and the last blow used all his strength, but it did not break Teng Dun, which shows that Teng Dun is very useful for defending against beast attacks.
Although the strength of some beasts is greater than the power of wisdom, it is impossible for people who use Teng Dun to just stand still, and when they are attacked by beasts, they only need to shrink their bodies backwards, and the strength of Teng Dun's attack will also decrease.
In the battle with wild beasts, primitive people still have a lot of combat experience.
Zhi walked to Su Yan's side with Teng Dun and said to Su Yan respectfully: "Divine envoy, we need Teng Dun." ”
