Chapter 4: A busy day
The women also came back one after another, Jinhua They were more familiar with the surrounding environment, they didn't dare to go too far, and there were too few fruits to eat after autumn, only three or four catties of nuts were loaded.
Although it is small, in Jinhua's view, today's harvest is really small.
The food was piled together, and after thanking the celestial beings for a while, he beat the hard shell with the rough stone tools in his hands.

After fighting for a while, he first sent Yu Guang a small pile of nuts and nuts.
Yu Guang doesn't even know what these nuts are, can they be eaten raw and bad for their stomachs? On the other side, the bone knife was beckoning two helpers, one was called Turf, and his long hair was messy; One is called Black Tooth, and at a glance you can know the result of eating raw and cold food for a long time, and the physique is okay, primitive people are not as delicate as modern people.
In the autumn, these tribesmen follow the habit of storing food while making themselves fat, so that they can last a while longer in the season of less food, and the bone knife skillfully makes a fire, and the turf and black teeth look about the same age, both are about twenty-five or sixteen years old, they belong to the young and strong, and they listen to the words of the bone knife very much, so they can also share a little more food after hunting.
Black Fang skinned and disemboweled the fat rabbit, dragged the skinned rabbit with one hand, skillfully pinched the sharp flint chip with the other hand, cut the rabbit's abdomen, cut it very lightly, and the small viscera and intestines were not touched, seeing that Yu Guang was a little sick to his stomach here, and before he turned his head, he saw that the turf was full of blood and looked at himself with a smile, this guy was eating the internal organs of the pheasant raw, and immediately retched several times, and lost his appetite in an instant.
I ate a few nuts casually, and my mouth was full of bitterness, and they could eat whatever they liked. I don't have any tools now, and I can't do it. Reluctantly, the light got up and began to wander around the cave.
He didn't dare to go far, so he simply turned around, there was quite a lot of vegetation nearby, which was larger than Fulong Mountain in later generations, and he couldn't tell that it was Fulong Mountain.
He had all the materials he needed, and he found a number of acacia trees by the brook, with many finger-long spikes on their branches, which were useful.
Walking and asking about a familiar taste, I looked at it, it turned out to be a pepper tree more than two meters high, Yu Guang was happy, it seems that there will be a taste of food in the future.
I picked a few leaves, chewed them in my mouth, and the numb feeling diluted the bitterness of the nuts.
Humming a little song and about to go to the other side of the creek to see what plants could be used, Shi Yanzi took a piece of chicken leg and handed it to Yu Guang, "Big brother, Ah Da let you feed yourself." At this time, there will be less and less to eat. ”
Shi Yanzi said as he licked the oil stains off his hands.
"Eat, boy! I'm not hungry, I'm full, and I'm going to make rope for a while. I'm afraid the cave wolves will attack us again at night. Yu Guang really couldn't eat this tasteless food.
Shi Yanzi pushed it a few times without pushing it off, and quietly looked back to see that there was no one, so he devoured the chicken legs, chewing even the bones, accompanied by a rattling sound, and in an instant only a greasy smile was left.
"Wash your hands and mouth, and let Eminem see that Fei tears off your ears!" Yu Guang smiled and scared Shi Lingzai.
After a while, seeing that he had packed up and returned to the open space at the entrance of the cave together, Jinhua Eminem was talking to the stone knife, and when he saw Yu Guang coming, he stopped and said nervously: "Sure enough, I asked Saifeng to investigate around the clan land, and those previous chatters did not go far, and they should appear at night." We have very few people, what should we do? ”
Yu Guang thought for a while, and then said his thoughts.
First clear a small area of open land at the mouth of the cave and fence it with tree trunks and thorns to temporarily strengthen the habitat defense.
Then make some weapons that you can use, so that the night will be more appropriate and not too passive.
Shi Dao and Ah Mu nodded half-understandingly, anyway, there is Yu Guang, a celestial being, and they don't dare to prey.
So the stone knife gathered all the tribesmen, and the children rubbed the rope at the entrance of the cave, and the women helped to find the fibre hemp, and tried to find as many places as possible in the vicinity, for there would be many places to use the rope in the future.
Six of the eight adult men remained, and the stone knife had to help Yu Guang polish the stone tools, and the bone knife took the turf black tooth and the wind to cut down the tree.
There were no shovels to dig holes around, so they had to ask three old ghosts squatting in the depths of the cave to come out and help dig them, and Yu Guang taught them to use short logs and stones to loosen the soil first, and then dig the hole.
The three old ghosts were really lazy, the stone knife couldn't stand it, and they beat them with sticks, but they were stopped by Yu Guang, and the adults couldn't be separated, so he separated two sturdy women, went to the stream with their skins to get water, soaked the place to be dug, and then let the old ghosts dig with stones and sharp wood.
Yu Guang needed to make two stone axes first, so that the bone knife and they could quickly cut down the tree, so as to enclose the open land of less than 100 square meters in front of him.
It has to be done before dark, and it's much safer at night.
The axes of the two stone axes are ready, and the handles are missing, and the handles are easy to make, but the wooden handles need to be dried and a hole is carved out at the other end just enough to put the axes in.
There is no chisel, so you can only make an opening with a pointed flint strip first, and then clip a burning piece of wood and burn it on top, which requires constant adjustment.
Yu Guang had no choice but to be patient and put two tree trunks more than one meter long next to the fire to dry. On the way, I went to teach the children and women how to rub hemp and how to weave ropes.
These were done by his grandfather in the countryside when he was a child, and he was very impressed, and he taught them again, and the children learned very quickly, and it didn't take long for thick ropes and thin ropes to do a lot. But it doesn't seem to be enough.
The three old ghosts were obedient, Yu Guang said before, after working hard, eating is indispensable, and he dug it seriously, twenty or thirty one-foot deep holes, and dug for more than three hours when the tools were backward.
After seeing it, he felt a little shallow, and asked them to dig a little deeper, and one of the shrewd old ghosts was called Du'er, and without saying a word, he took the other two to dig again. It is said that once he was so hungry that he cut off his ears with stone chips and ate them raw, and after that, he was not eaten at every sacrifice.
After the two stone axes with wooden handles were done, the bone knife and they cut down the tree much faster, and Yu Guang could also free his hands to make a bow, the materials had already been prepared, and the trunk used to make the bow had been roasted almost, it was a green oka wood with good toughness, that is, a branch of the tree tree, there were many types of trees in prehistory, but he didn't find ebony, and the bows made by that thing in ancient times were all strong bows.
When he was polishing the bow with flint blades, Shi Yanzi brought two thin children to bring more than 30 arrows with a small thumb thickness of more than one meter, and burned the edges of the arrows and sharpened them on the stone slab in the method used for light teaching, and then sharpened them finely with flint chips.
The entire Shi Clan almost didn't know what Yu Guang was going to do, but they still obeyed his command and completed the work in hand.
It didn't take long to make the bow, but it was too laborious in the early stage, and the bow body should be soaked in tung oil and dried in the shade, but this process takes three years.
However, now he can't wait, it doesn't matter if his life is short, as long as he forms a deterrent.
The arrows are all ready, and they are only used to finish the tail of the pheasant's feathers with pine gum and string, so that the arrows that fly out can be glided and balanced.
After a long time, everything was completed, and Yu Guang tried his best to tie the bowstring, but the problem came out, he couldn't pull the prehistoric bow.
Only then did I remember that I was just a high school student, I usually kept studying, my body was a little thin, and I was a carpenter and a stonemason in the afternoon, and my hands were full of blisters.
I had to hand over the bow to the stone knife, and carefully explain the use of this thing, so that he could shoot the bow ten meters in front of a tree with a thick bowl mouth. shot more than 30 arrows in a row, and the number of hits was not much, but they could be nailed to the tree, Yu Guang looked at the depth and felt that the power was good. The stone knife was even more surprised, believing that Yu Guang was a celestial, and Yu Guang smiled habitually.
Looking up at the sun in the west, it was already about to set, and the cold autumn wind had stopped in the evening.
The men were tired enough, the women were cooperating with nailing the cut tree trunks to the pits dug around, and the three old ghosts did not rest, under the leadership of the one ear, one pit after another was buried again, and the stumps were fixed firmly.
The acacia trees in the distance were covered with long thorns, and they also pulled a lot of them, and a simple wall was made on time before dark, and Yu Guang also made a dozen stone spears made of flint chips, some long and some short.
Just as he was about to start a fire, a wolf howl came from the forest in the distance!
Cry wolf......
