Chapter 040: On the Road
In this era, every birth in the clan will hold the hearts of the clansmen tightly. More than 2 www.biquge.info 0% of pregnant women and fetuses will die in dystocia.
But fortunately, after more than three hours of delivery, the fetus was finally born safely. When they got the news that the mother and child were safe, the clansmen happily sang the Dafeng song to celebrate.
Wang Hao sent a bowl of caviar soup made with mushrooms to supplement the nutrition of pregnant women. Most of the skins of the tribe were given to them to keep them warm.
A simple animal skin stretcher was made by Wang Hao overnight, and the rush will not stop because of production, and tomorrow, the child and mother will be carried by the tribesmen in the warm animal skin stretcher.
The terrible howl of the beast continued through the night, the screams of the beast that wanted to attack the camp before it was wounded by a bow and arrow. Fortunately, the people in the wilderness are used to hearing the roar of the beast, and they can still sleep peacefully in such an environment.
In the morning, the tribesmen all woke up from their dreams with their stiff limbs moving. The prey that was shot last night became everyone's breakfast, and the tribesmen, who had been frozen all night, now urgently need to eat a lot of food to replenish their calories.
Wang Hao dipped a piece of animal skin in hot water to help the patriarch wipe his sore legs, and after freezing all night, the patriarch basically couldn't stand up in the morning when his legs hurt.
After breakfast, the clansmen set off again, and Wang Hao ran to see the newborn born yesterday. It was a male baby, the eyes on the wrinkled little face had not yet opened, and he teased him with his fingers, and then Wang Hao's fingers were grabbed by the child and sent into his mouth.
The child is very healthy, and he is held in his mother's arms without crying or making trouble. It's just that his mother is a little haggard.
When asked what the child's name was, his mother said she hadn't figured it out yet. However, his father died in the monster siege city, the child was still young, and he was born in Wang Village, and she wanted the patriarch to give the child the surname Wang.
Changing the surname is not a trivial matter in the Great Wilderness, but after Wang Hao discussed with the patriarch, he still agreed.
After yesterday's exposure to the sun, the muddy ground of the Great Wilderness finally dried up, and the tribesmen also accelerated their pace. The journey went more smoothly than everyone expected, except for a few small beasts, there were basically no high-level creatures. By the time the sun had risen overhead and then west, everyone had finally arrived at their destination, a plain on the edge of a large forest.
This plain is very high, and when the summer flood comes, there is no need to worry about the people's houses being flooded. To the north is a big river flowing from east to west, and to the east is a vast forest, looking at the huge trees in the forest, Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction, this forest will provide the greatest convenience for the development of the village.
At the edge of the forest, Wang Hao found a vacant lot and buried the stele in the ground with his own hands. In order to distinguish the location of the stele, he planted another pine tree on it. Regarding the claim that the stele can protect the village, Wang Hao still retains his opinion. However, he was quite curious about how the words on the stele came from, and how the surnames of the clansmen came from.
When they arrived in a new place, for a new home, the clansmen were busy.
Twenty strong archers centered on the pine tree with a stone monument below, and in groups of four, they divided into groups of five, holding strong bows and iron swords, and pushed in a southwesterly direction. Their task today is to rid the village of all the beasts that are close to the village.
In the past, this was an impossible task, the beasts were not afraid of people, and when people came, they might run away, but when people were gone, they would come back. The biggest threat to the children in the village is the beasts that come and go.
The distance of more than 20 meters is just right for them. Not only will it not be attacked by these hairless monsters, but it also leaves a suitable distance to escape, and you can also observe these hairless monsters up close.
But today, the rules of the plains have been broken.
A group of lions had eaten their fill, and lazily lay on the ground looking at a few hairless monsters fifty meters away. For hairless monsters, they have long been taught, they are not easy to entangle, each of them is amazingly powerful, if they are hit by their stone axe, it is not pleasant. They don't want to be in trouble when they're full. Seeing these hairless monsters getting closer and closer, the lions were not flustered, and it was not too late for them to get up and leave when they were twenty meters away.
In the past, these lessons were correct, but they don't work today. Fifty meters away, a deadly feather arrow flew over, and in the blink of an eye, three lions died on the spot.
The lion king grabbed the feather arrow in his chest in vain, feeling the sharp pain in his body, and finally raised his head to the sky and roared. It's telling the lions, run, run as far as possible.
Wang Hu looked at the lions that were scattered and fled far away, feeling the changes brought by the tools to human beings, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar. He believes that in the future, this great wilderness must be the world of mankind.
In the past, it took the cooperation of ten clansmen to trap a lion, but now, even one person with a bow and arrow can kill a lion from a distance of fifty meters.
The people who feel the convenience of tools are not the only ones who are strong archers. There are also clansmen mowing grass near the stone monument. In the past, mowing grass was really time-consuming and laborious with stone chips, and often a stone chip was smoothed out, and it was not necessarily possible to cut out much grass.
But now, with short swords, these short swords are not only fast at cutting meat, but also faster at cutting grass. As soon as the sword fell, the long, tough thatch fell.
Wang Hao told them that it was placed on the roof to keep out the rain, and the people didn't know what the roof was, but they knew what it was. The feeling of sitting on the muddy ground and being drenched in cold rain the night before was that they never wanted to try it again. So all of them are working very hard. Wang Hao also said that in two days he would get them something called a sickle, and with that thing, the speed of mowing grass would be faster than now, and it would be more comfortable than using a short sword.
The clansmen all opened their eyes wide and imagined what the scythe would look like, and they were already satisfied with cutting the grass with a dagger, and they could not imagine how happy it would be if they were replaced with a scythe that was faster than a dagger.
Those who enjoy happiness before the people who cut the grass belong to the people who go to the forest to cut wood.
The last technology Wang Hao downloaded was a saw.
Ordinary iron ore is systematically processed into extremely hard alloy iron. The axe has changed from being the main force of cutting trees in the past to being used only to remove branches. The clansmen are all able to compare. When you find that the saw is more labor-saving than the axe, you will naturally abandon the axe and replace it with a saw.
Wang Hao once again saw the strength of primitive people. When a sturdy woman came out of the forest with a giant tree thicker than her waist in both hands, Wang Hao gave them a new name. That's the human flesh harvester.
The only thing that hasn't changed is probably the rod used to fish in the river.
The same purple bamboo, the same piece of bamboo, after being drenched with blood, as soon as it touches the surface of the water, a big fish will pounce and swallow it into its mouth.
Wang Hao sighed at how stupid these fish had never been caught, and at the same time calculated how long it would take to catch these fish with bamboo chips. At that time, if you don't change the iron hook, then change the net.
The great cause of salt production cannot be stopped. A canal leads from the river to the camp. At the end of the canal are several large pits connected together. It was the result of an afternoon's hard work. Primitive people have nothing else, but they have a lot of strength. With the help of shovels, these pools for extracting table salt were dug out faster than Wang Hao imagined.
After moving to the village, the distance with the salt lake has become closer, and the patriarch decided that tomorrow morning, he will let people go over to carry the salt stone, and when there was no way to extract salt, he did not feel that since the tribe began to use salt, the patriarch found that without salt, many things could not be done.
Salt is needed to boil food, salt is needed to marinate salted fish, salt is needed to sell skins, and even the water to clean wounds, Wang Hao said that it is best to put some salt.
