Chapter 76: Tribal Construction
Women are meticulous and steady, but they lack courage.
During this period of time after Lin Ji "awakened", he formed a subtle competition for the right to speak with Daji, who controlled the tribe. Lin Ji hopes to make progress against the clock, so that the tribe can have the ability to protect itself, so that they can also gain a sense of security. Da Ji hopes that a small fortune will be safe and stable, and only hopes to make the tribe prosperous through his own efforts.
The most obvious difference in this collision is in the attitude towards the Gray Wolf Tribe. Lin Ji must destroy the gray wolf, and he must take this step. Da Ji did not admit cowardice, but he did not take the initiative either.
Realizing this, Lin Ji organized a savage carrying team, and also consciously formed his own small circle. After that, he used a series of rhythms that he was familiar with in later generations to guide the tribe to run quickly, breaking the tribe's original habits.
On this day, the tribe sent off three groups of people at the same time.
The two men went north to hunt. They carried on their backs the original pottery of the tribe, and brought strong bows and the best bone spears, arrows of bone clusters. Lin Ji made two sets of leather armor from the crocodile skin seized from the pig's face and put them on. The first leather boots were also made for them to wear.
Now the tribe is weak, and they can't take the bronze weapons out yet. Lin Ji had no choice but to try to appease them in other ways. At the same time, I hope they will come back alive.
Yimu carried a basket of food and straw sandals on his back and headed northwest. He's going to recruit the Savage Carriers.
When a person is not carrying weight, the calluses on the soles of the feet are enough to make people walk in the forest without injury, but after carrying weight, the soles of the feet become very easy to get injured. This is also the conclusion of recent observations of forest traces. So he thought those wild men should have at least one pair of straw sandals.
Yimu was almost recruited by these straw shoes, and he agreed very much with Lin Ji's approach, so he brought the straw sandals given by Lin Ji and went to recruit savages with high fighting spirits. I am going to recruit ten at a time for Lin Ji to ensure that all of them are obedient.
Qiao Huan and Po Tu also took a few people on a journey of pottery exchange population.
There were not many of them, and they only brought six pottery. Bronze weapons were carried with them. It's just that the forest trails let them not show up from their skins until they have to. It's strictly forbidden to fight privately, and they're all going to smaller tribes, so they won't be in any trouble.
Lin Ji hoped that they would have some trouble, so that before they could make a move on the gray wolf, Lin Ji would be able to try the effects of the bronze weapon with a small tribe. And Lin Ji felt that there should be no problem for a few of them to protect themselves.
Sending these people away, the tribesmen also began to get busy.
Bear Paw took five or six men to the meike to fish. They are solemnly asked to catch as much as they can, and they must get enough food before freezing.
Hair arc takes four men out hunting. They armed with strongbows and bronze weapons, and their goal was to purposefully clear the surrounding beasts of prey. For example, the tiger that Lin Ji and Hu Yi'er encountered last time.
When we used stone tools before, we generally didn't fight hard with these guys, and we had to keep a certain distance so that everyone wouldn't hurt each other. Now that you have a strong bow and blade in your hand, how can you be afraid of these guys?
Killing tigers and bears or something, Arc has long wanted to try it. Now it's time for the whole thing.
After these big guys are removed, there will naturally be more prey around the tribe in the coming year, and everyone's travel will be safer.
Another task given to them by Lin Ji is that their weapons can be made vigorously, but when they come back, they must make it clear how they will use them. This is to test weapons in the absence of war.
The eagle took the red monkey and several people to continue to smelt copper. This time, instead of casting weapons, I will instead cast farm tools.
The others worked in groups of three or five to cut down trees, build houses, dig ditches, dig kilns, make bricks, make pottery, dig tree roots, turn over the land, expand the wall, clear miscellaneous trees, etc., and even cook the food.
Da Ji wants to control the entire tribe. Lin Ji asked everyone to do this, and she could always say some big truths that were difficult for people to refuse, and she could only acquiesce or agree. After that, she wanted to follow these works to understand and see what was going on, but she found that there were many things that she couldn't understand and couldn't understand.
Sometimes she keeps up with this, and the other side falls behind. Sometimes she figured out what was on one side, and the rest was already going beyond what she expected.
For example, she is most familiar with pottery. Lin Ji arranged for Luo Qi and other women to bring a few children to do it.
Lin Ji made a potter's wheel with a large disc underneath, and as long as the children turned the disc underneath and the woman on it pinched the mud with her hands, the mud would automatically turn into a regular circle. The pottery produced in this way is no longer high on the left and low on the right, crooked.
Cups, bowls, pots, pots, pots, pots, and various lids were made in a demonstration. Da Ji just didn't follow up for a while, and she didn't know what these things were for.
Luo Qi is stupid, let her imitate something, she can do it meticulously, but when she says what these things are for, she will only giggle and say, "I smash these things and make them, everyone can have them, but they are easy to use." ”
These things were supposed to be dried in the shade, and after they were dried, what were they doing by smearing mud on them? Glazing? What is Glazing?
Da Ji was confused and felt that she didn't know what to say.
Another example is building a wooden house. Women are not suitable for these things in the first place, and Daji has studied hard and has not figured out the dimensions of various woods. But at this time, there are not enough men, and it is obviously impossible to build houses faster. Da Ji thinks it's best to wait for Po Tu and the others to come back.
Lin Rui saw it, and let the women who chop wood each be responsible for cutting one or two styles, and the only two men were responsible for building the house, and the two children were in charge.
It was still these people who were building houses, but after such a distribution, the women were able to make all kinds of wood in order, which was better than what the eagles had made before.
The two men only need to carry the timber to the base position, build it in order, nail the wedges, and the two children spread the lichen on the wood, and in half a day, the frame of a wooden house can be erected. Then everyone worked together and spent half a day sealing the roof. Almost one house a day.
In this way, Da Ji doesn't care about the head and tail, and he can't care about anywhere in the future. In the end, I simply only helped a few pregnant women who cooked.
Although she knew that something was wrong here, it was just that the tribe was really changing day by day. And everything Lin Ji did was for the sake of the tribe as he said, and she couldn't find fault with it.
She also saw that in order to maintain the operation of this rapid construction, Lin Ji was really busy like a spinning top, and even if he was eating, he was discussing various construction issues with everyone. She can't afford to hold back.
The wooden village was expanding, the number of houses was increasing, and the messy shacks and grass in front of the cave were cleared and turned into rows of neat houses, and a few large trees with pruned branches. A canal flowed into the wooden village from a distance, and when it turned out, the woman took water from the water's edge and washed it.
Today's catch is fifteen baskets, and even seven or eight-year-old children are pressed to the water's edge to kill fish. A few pets ate with round stomachs, and they almost didn't bother to move when they saw anything thrown over.
After a few days of hard work, the arc got back two tigers, a leopard, a big bear, and a big wild boar. The skins hung in the corridors between the houses.
Daji wants to rename them and make up stories. This was the thing that men were most passionate about, but now they just waved their hands, turned their heads and chased after Lin Ji to ask for Jijin arrows, or chased women to ask if they would marry themselves. It's boring to make Da Ji so boring.
The familiar river beach outside the wooden village is also gone, and it has become a field of fields. Looking at the empty clearing, Da Ji was always a little unsure. It's as if when I was a child, I was chased by a big snake, and there was no place to cover everywhere, and I seemed to be abandoned.
Da Ji stood at the gate of the village and looked around, seeing that the people around him were busy and couldn't help at all, he really felt that he was abandoned.
Just when Da Ji felt that he had nothing to love, Lin Ji ran over and cried: "Da Ji, you give a comment." Those people all say that they work hard, they want to eat the food I cook, and I run all day and night, how can I do it all? I asked them to eat first, and they said I was biased. I saw that they were lazy, so naturally I couldn't give them food......"
Seeing that Lin Ji was a little helpless, Da Ji's abandoned heart beat again: "How dare they do this? It's okay, you can do as much as you want, I'll go watch them. Who dares to be lazy, let alone eat what you make, I won't even give them food. Who eats with you in the future, I have the final say. ”
"Da Ji is so good." Lin Ji found the backbone, hesitated and said: "The house has not been built yet, and they have to fight again." I see that a few people are working hard outside every day, and they don't have time to please women, so Daji might as well ask those women what they mean, arrange for them first, and save the hearts of a few of them......"
"I'll leave that to me." Daji is majestic. There are some things she can't do, but there are some things she can't replace.
