Chapter 34: Assemble
Did Mao Mei win?
Yang Jiao saw the two girls running away, frowned, and after thinking about it, he made a model sailboat with small wooden blocks and walked towards the gate of the settlement.
The slaves were treated well in the river bay, at least the rations were full, the enthusiasm for production was not low, and by this day, the dirt road had already taken shape.
The rammed roads are distributed along the grain-producing areas of the river bend.
Before connecting the two settlements, the road must first benefit the people, at least the neighbors in the village can easily walk through the streets and alleys, and then the main road leads to the other settlement.
The early civilization cities developed along the river are very different from the modern industrial cities of later generations, it is characterized by the distribution of houses along the river, and the river not only plays the role of irrigation, drinking, sewage discharge, but also takes into account the function of shipping, so the structure of this kind of city has the characteristics of narrow and long.
The dirt road runs parallel to the river and follows the direction of the houses throughout the settlement.
Yang Li walked out of the settlement, and then half a mile ahead, to the place where Yulia took Xiao Zhen Mi to play, this is a river beach, Yulia wrinkled her nose at Yang Li, and then picked up a pebble and shook it in front of Lori: "Look at it~"
"Hmm."
The girl blew on the flat stone, then lowered her center of gravity, reached out her arm, and made a lunge - and with a bang, the stone swept across the water in a straight line.
The swirling stones tap between the waves, making seven or eight splashes.
"Here you go." Yulia helped Zhen Mi pick out the stones, but Lori's athletic talent was really incomparable with Mao Mei, and she threw a bunch of stones, but it still popped and sank when she entered the water.
Zhen Mi was a little frustrated, and soon she discovered something new.
The leader of Yang put a palm-sized piece of wood into the water, and Xue Bijiang played with the strange linen cloth on the wood.
"Feel the direction of the wind," Yang said, plucking up a dead grass and letting the blades of grass drift in the wind's tracks, "it can push the sails, and the sails are fixed to the mast, and it will become the limbs of the ship, taking steps on the water." ”
Fengfan's knowledge is still a bit esoteric for the boy, he can only understand the song fur, but Yang Li's purpose is obviously not this, when he saw Lori biting her nails and hesitating closer, a trace of pride flashed in the corners of his eyes.
Hmph, hooked.
“…… Therefore, the angle of the sail is not perpendicular to the wind to get the maximum thrust, in fact, maintaining a certain angle with the direction of the wind can make the boat travel the fastest. As for the principle, you will know it later. ”
Yang Jiao kept changing the direction of the sail of the model sailboat, and when he found that Zhen Mi was close enough, he sacrificed the killing weapon again.
"What if it rains or snows, see, we can also make a tent in the middle of the boat out of animal skins, and we can divide the canopy into front and back with wooden planks, and put tables and cooking utensils in front of it, and fish from the river and cook it with millet rice, and what about the back of the canopy......"
Yang Li paused for a moment and induced him to ask, "If you want to live a good life on the ship, what can you put behind the canopy?" ”
"Spears and arrows!" This is Xue Pijiang.
"Bed." This is Zhen Mi.
"That's right! Go back and reward a spoonful of honey. Yang Li touched Lori's furry head and praised.
Xiao Zhen Mi clapped her hands and laughed, and joined the ranks of fiddling with model sailboats.
Yulia saw that Zhen Mi was abducted by toys, but there was no way at all, and Lori was very happy, and was led by Yang Jiao's idea of going to the house.
The building materials, power, and streamlined principle of the ship are the things that attract Xue Pijiang.
The layout inside the boat, the arrangement of the living, and the beautiful decoration are the things that attract Zhen Mi.
Yang Jiao changed the cramming education to develop interests, first making them feel fun, and then slowly dissecting the principles and explaining them step by step.
Mao Mei came to make trouble and found that the three of them didn't want to bird her, so she got angry, but after listening to it, she found that she was also trapped.
Damn, let me play with it. Yulia said.
You can just play with the stones. Yang Li said.
Knowing that it was the leader's trick, Yulia still snatched the model sailboat and fiddled with it.
But this thing was built by Yang Jiao at zero hour, and it was not very solid, and the girl used a little more strength, and it fell apart.
Yang Yu had expected this ending, and he was not angry, and said to Zhen Mi: "Ah, your sister Yulia broke the boat, but it's okay, my brother will make another one for you another day." ”
"Hmph, I can do it, and I can make it ten times bigger than you," Yulia said, "Zhen Mi, I'll make it for you later." ”
"Okay." Lori looked at the wreckage of the model that had sunk to the bottom of the river with regret on her face, and replied in a crisp voice.
It's just that she has a word clearly written on her face.
I don't believe it.
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, and Yulia tried to pull the topic away: "I'm tired of eating the dishes lately, Yang Jiao, can you get some other delicious food." ”
"Of course there are, roasted tiger loin, steamed tiger feet, braised tiger ribs, braised tiger liver, but the ingredients."
"Hmph, how can you be so careful, I'll find the ingredients for you." Yulia found a harpoon, quickly caught a few carp and grass carp, and handed it to Yang Li.
This skill is not bad, Yang Li hugged the fish and left.
The road construction team was attacked in the evening, when Yulia was discussing the possibility of a shift arrangement with a construction worker when she heard a half-man's scream coming from the half-human-tall grass on the riverbank.
The slave seemed to be pulled by a great force, and suddenly his whole body sank into the grass, and there was no sound.
"Don't be lazy!" The foreman, Earthfoot, wielded his whip and walked over angrily, and Yulia tried to stop it, but it was too late.
Earthwormfoot was a traitor last time, betraying the information of the river bay to the scouts of the Baishi tribe, and was cleaned up by Huya, and by the time he finished recuperating from his injuries, the Baishi clan had been wiped out.
At the reward conference, almost all the men of the family had military exploits, but he was the only one who did not participate in the war, so naturally he could not share the land and slaves.
But the previous public land had been annexed by Yang Jiao, and he couldn't work for him, so he arranged the task of a settlement patrolman, received rations regularly, and was also a public official.
But when the earthworm stepped into the grass, it also fell suddenly and did not get up again.
Yulia stared at the grass for half a second, pulled Zhen Mi aside, then picked up the short axe on her side, lowered her figure, shouted at the people next to her, and slowly approached with three slaves.
The three slaves only had a rudimentary rammed earth stone hammer in their hands, and the expressions on their faces were both a little panicked and a little afraid.
They were afraid of unknown attacks, and they were also afraid of the scolding of the deputy leader, Yulia.
Yulia could hear her own breathing, but the grass was dead silent, and a strange wind blew, and the blades of grass parted to the sides.
The earthworm had no eyes and looked straight at the sky, and he had died.
Two bloody corpses.
Two scimitar-like fangs.
The round face with light spots suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, and a roar like thunder exploded!
A giant saber-toothed tiger.
Yulia instinctively wanted to meet it, but the hatchet in her hand was powerful in hand-to-hand combat between humans, and it was not possible to deal with a behemoth with overwhelming strength and speed.
The gravel axe sliced the saber-toothed tiger's forelimbs, but the injury was almost negligible, but it only aroused the ferocity of the beast, and it pounced, its fangs brushing its cheeks and slicing off a strand of blonde hair from its sideburns.
Yulia had never felt so close to death.
As soon as the saber-toothed tiger appeared, the three slaves threw down the stone hammer and ran away for their lives, leaving Yulia alone to face the giant tiger, Yulia fought with it with her vigorous skills and the blood and courage of the fighting people, and a few of them came down, there were more scratches on her arms and thighs, and she heard a chaotic movement around her.
The shouts, the footsteps, the screams poured in, but she couldn't pay any more attention.
She had to brace herself and stare into the eyes of the giant tiger in front of her, otherwise, the saber-toothed tiger's sharp teeth would cut her throat with the next blow.
The situation is getting more and more unfavorable, and the shadows of two-, three-, and four-headed saber-toothed tigers appear near the road construction team!
The leading saber-toothed tiger is the strongest, and he fights Yulia, and the other saber-toothed tigers go on a killing spree, scattering the slaves and eliminating the few few Riverside tribesmen.
There is no time to form a formation, and the individual combat effectiveness of human beings is really not powerful.
Moreover, this group of people is not elite hunters or warriors at all.
"Deputy Leader, come on!" One of his clansmen was pounced on by the saber-toothed tiger, and his abdomen had already been cut a few inches long, and blood was dripping all over the ground, but with the last of his strength, he threw the spear in his hand at Yulia.
Yulia took the spear with her arms outstretched, just in time to see the eyes of the people close, the last of them so determined.
Defend the road construction team, defend the settlement, defend the riverbend!
This is his homeland, this is his homeland.
The girl set up the spear, retreated and picked it up, just as the giant tiger pounced, the spear edge borrowed the force, and pointed on its chin, and then the girl rolled and dodged, although it failed to cause much damage to the giant tiger, but as long as the human hand held the spear, it had the confidence to fight against the beast.
"Come on!" Yulia shouted, "Let me see if your tiger skin is suitable for a coat!" ”
But I kept talking in my heart, Yang Jiao, it's like this here, why didn't you see it? If you are asked to make fish, you really do it desperately, and you can't take care of anything?
Hurry up and come over to me.
Yulia heard Zhen Mi screaming softly, so she hurriedly turned around and found that Lori was standing three steps away with a smaller saber-toothed tiger, with red saber-toothed teeth and remnants of broken flesh and organ tissue, slowly approaching her.
Although Zhen Mi was afraid, in order not to distract Yulia, she covered her mouth hard.
Yulia stepped forward to rescue, just took two steps, but her back was hit, only to feel a sweet throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed up, but she forcibly pressed back.
At this time, spit out this mouthful of blood, the momentum will dissipate, and everyone will finish!
The saber-toothed tiger doesn't pay much attention to chivalry, and sneak attacks and ambushes are good at it.
It's autumn, food is scarce in the north, and carnivorous beasts are migrating south!
The road construction team in the river bend is the food for the saber-toothed tigers who lack the ability to protect themselves and are gathered together.
Yulia saw the saber-toothed tiger pounce on Zhen Mi, and only hated that she couldn't get up in time and block in front of her.
Yang, the little girl you have been teaching for a long time, I can't help you watch it.
A dark shadow swept by, and the saber-toothed tiger howled in pain and fell to the side.
The little Siberian tiger came out of nowhere, its body was half-crouched and half-squatting, and its ten claws jumped out from root to root, like ten sharp little daggers, the hair on its body exploded throughout, and its size seemed to be half as large, just blocking between the saber-toothed tiger and Zhen Mi, and there was no way!
The attack of the tigers seemed to have stopped, and they gathered in a circle to watch the brutal slaughter.
The saber-toothed tiger vs the little Siberian tiger, and the little girl behind it.
There is a huge difference in size, and the ending must be without suspense, Yulia can't intervene, she is forced by two saber-toothed tigers, and she lacks skills.
Without warning, the saber-toothed tiger pounced like lightning, and if this pounce hit, the little Siberian tiger would definitely be dead!
"Whew." The little tiger barked angrily, reached out its paws, and slapped it over.
"Smack." The corpse landed.
The saber-toothed tiger flew straight upside down, and its nearly half-ton body actually rose into the air under this blow!
The little Siberian tiger stared at its paws in a daze...... Doesn't seem to be fighting?
The corpse was stuck with a large stone axe that looked like a wheel, and it was in the forehead.
The torch on one side of the encirclement lit up, and the tiger tooth still maintained the posture of finished throwing, and beside him, Xue Pijiang's longbow had been mounted with white feathers.
Yang Li's face was distorted, the spear in his hand pointed forward, and shouted: "Kill, not a single one is left, the hunters of the riverbend-"
"Ho!" Behind him, there were crowds of people, stone spears and sharp axes, and they moved forward together.
Reinforcements from the river bend, assembled!
