Chapter 43 Place of residence

At noon, people walked to the river, the clear and wide river meandered on the grassland, and there was a small forest growing next to the river, so that people had a shelter from the hot midday sun, and everything here looked so beautiful.

People lazily lay in the shade of the trees, enjoying the peace of the afternoon.

"Lang, what are we going to do next!" With a stick of grass in his mouth, he asked casually.

"First of all, we have to build a fence by this river with the trees here, safety is the first consideration, otherwise we have to protect the women and children, and we have to find food, and we can't be separated at all." Wang Lang said.

Fire nodded, and said, "These trees should be enough for us to build the fence, and since the terrain here is gentle and the ground is soft, our progress will definitely be much faster than in the jungle." ”

"Well, there are no caves here, we can't hide from the wind and rain and the scorching sun, we have to build some houses."

Wang Lang's words aroused the interest of the others, and they gathered around.

"Lang, you've talked about houses before, what exactly is a house?" Jianya asked curiously.

Wang Lang thought for a while and said, "The house is similar to the tent we set up when we were sheltering from the rain before, but it is much bigger than that. ”

"But there aren't enough wide leaves here?" Jianya scratched his hair and asked puzzled.

Wang Lang smiled and said, "Who said that we have to use leaves, look at the weeds all over the ground, can't we use these, we can use soil and trees to build our house, you see like this." ”

Wang Lang said, picking up a branch and spending a thatched hut on the ground.

Although Wang Lang's paintings are not even as good as stick figures, people still understand the meaning of the drawings and discuss them curiously around the graphics on the ground.

"Lang, you are so smart, you can think of this method, with you leading us, we will definitely become stronger." Jianya sighed from the bottom of his heart.

If he didn't know that these people were primitive people, without those fancy intestines, Wang Lang had no doubt that Jianya was patting his own sycophants, and they were also sycophants with no technical content, but Wang Lang still felt a sense of accomplishment.

Wang Lang smiled and said: "We have to build a place to live as soon as possible, we don't have much salt, find a time to see if we can find a salt mine around here." ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, they were used to eating food with salt, and they couldn't accept it if they let them go to Rumao to drink blood.

"Lang, let's start working in a while, these little trees, we can cut them down in two days." Jianya didn't want to live without salt, with salt, he felt that his strength was obviously much greater than before, and he didn't want to be delayed by these miscellaneous things to find salt.

"Don't worry, the sun is too poisonous now, let everyone rest for a while." Wang Lang said.

Jianya looked up at the sun in the sky, and sat to the side with his head down, chewing on the grass roots irritably.

After noon, the white clouds in the sky obscured the scorching sun, and people took advantage of this rare coolness to pick up stone axes and cut down trees one by one.

Two days later, the small forest was cut down in half by these men, and the bare stumps stood on the grassland, announcing to nature the destructive power of man.

Looking at the timber stacked on the side, Wang Lang felt that these should be enough, and poked the ground under his feet with a spear, and the soft and damp ground was easy to excavate.

Wang Lang took an arm-thick tree trunk and split the front end of the trunk with a stone axe to form a sharp triangle.

After people's efforts, four days later, a wall with a radius of four or five hundred square meters appeared on this grassland, in order to rush the work, Wang Lang did not make the wall impermeable, this initial formation of the wall can only block those huge animals, some small animals even if they run in will not pose much threat to people.

With the wall, people have a sense of security in their hearts, and when men leave the tribe, at least they don't have to worry about women and children being attacked by wild beasts, and Wang Lang can let go of his own things after he has no worries.

After the wall was built, Wang Lang led people to clean up the weeds near the wall, lit a fire, and burned the weeds in the wall.

The heat was blowing in their faces, and people had to stay away, and the smoke was so thick that the animals in the vicinity fled the area.

After half an hour of burning, a layer of black ash fell on the ground inside the wall.

When the temperature of the ground cooled down, Wang Lang made a few brooms out of weeds and asked people to clean up the ashes.

For the house, Wang Lang made a model out of mud, and as for the construction of the house, Wang Lang handed it over to the women of the tribe to do.

In the past few days, people have not eaten anything other than catching fish to eat, and it can be said that a bird has faded out of their mouths.

After a day's rest, Wang Lang took the men of the tribe out for their first hunt here.

Seven or eight men with weapons in their hands, hunched over in the grass, slowly approached the herd of deer grazing with their heads bowed in front of them.

There were still about ten meters away from the deer, Wang Lang waved his hand to signal the people to stop, calling over the dark clouds, fire, and horns.

"You three stay here and watch my gestures, you don't have to attack them, just drive them where I am, understand?" Wang Lang lowered his voice and said.

Seeing that the three of them nodded, Wang Lang took the rest of the people to quietly go around the back of the deer, let Jianya and Heishi lurk with the rope, and the rest of the people took off their bows and arrows and prepared one after another.

Wang Lang waved his hand to signal that the dark clouds could move, and after the three of them saw Wang Lang's gesture, they suddenly burst out of the grass, brandishing spears and shouting to surround the deer from three sides.

The frightened deer panicked, and when they saw that there were enemies on three sides, they fled frantically in the direction where there was no one left.

Wang Lang saw that the first step had been successful, so he motioned for Jianya and Heishi to prepare.

The deer herd did not find Wang Lang and them lurking in the grass, and ran in a panic under the pursuit of the three of them, and soon ran into the ambush circle of everyone.

"Pull!" Wang Lang shouted.

Hearing this, Jianya and Heishi exerted force at the same time, and the thick rope suddenly tightened, and the deer running at high speed were instantly tripped over a large piece by the rope that suddenly appeared, and the deer group behind saw their companions falling, and hurriedly ran to the side, and the two of them were also brought down by the huge impact force of the deer.

Wang Lang didn't care about the deer that ran away, and beckoned the other people who were lying in ambush to shoot the fallen deer with bows and arrows, and in a blink of an eye, seven or eight deer were shot and killed, and the rest of the young and strong deer who fell quickly got up from the ground and fled into the distance.

There were a few emaciated fawns, which fell a little hard, and lay on the ground and struggled a few times but did not get up.

"Grab those fawns and don't kill them." Wang Lang shouted.

People knew that Wang Lang might want to domesticate these fawns, after all, they had also raised some animals before, and people didn't talk nonsense, and several people gathered around and surrounded the three fawns that fell to the ground in the middle.

The three fawns looked at the humans surrounding them, their eyes were full of horror, but they could not escape when they were surrounded, and let out a terrified cry.
