Chapter 121: The Shocked Winter Bear
When we got together in the evening, the bark did not hide it, and told the people about this method, and at the same time told others about how long it took to burn to achieve the best results. In return, Bihu also contributed the bamboo ladder invented by his team, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion. Although everyone is not far away, everyone has already begun to imitate, but this behavior is still worthy of praise. Wang Chuan told them how the ladder could be tied together to make a herringbone ladder. Then tell them that if the gap is too large, they can use the front-back fit to reduce the gap.
Time passed unconsciously in this kind of exploration, study, training, and labor.
When March of that year came, the weather warmed up, and Winter Bear took advantage of the fact that the ice on the river had not yet melted, and once again came to the River tribe in his canoe-style sleigh. Then, he was shocked on the ice by the river.
The terrain near the River Tribe is vaguely the same as before, but the mountains and forests near the cave have completely changed.
The mountains and forests were empty one by one, as if the one in the previous river tribe fence was said to have been burned by the heavenly fire. Now there are more than many times more vacant space around than before. The trees in the mountain forest are also obviously much thinner, and looking through the gaps between the trees that have not yet grown branches, the trees that remain in the mountain forest are all the kind of big trees that several people hug together.
I don't know when a straight passage was opened by the river, leading to the fence of the river tribe.
In the fence of the River Tribe, the changes are even more striking. The fence is divided into several pieces by the few remaining trees. There was an extra layer of tall, tight stumps inside, and another circle came out in the fence. In the circle, the kind of thing that the people of the River Tribe call houses are lined up and rowed. Not only were these houses made of mud that he had seen before, but there were also more made of wood, and he didn't know what magic the people of the River Tribe used, and the houses lined up with wood were also straight and would not roll down.
What's even more amazing is that there is an extremely tall house opposite the cave, which shines golden in the sun!
Winter Bear's mouth opened wide, and before he could close it, several half-sized wolves rushed towards them.
How can wolves appear near the tribe? They were strange in their hearts, and they were scrambling to prepare their weapons. The little wolves were screamed back.
"Haha, it turned out to be a winter bear." Bark came from afar with a few laughing men, and he was slender enough to wear only a sleeveless vest in the not warm weather, revealing the solid muscles on his arms.
Winter Bear also laughed and clenched his fists and walked over: "Bark Chief, it's only been a few times that the full moon hasn't been seen, and you're a lot stronger." And the changes in the River tribe are even more astonishing. ”
"My mother said that in winter the children hid in the cave all day long, and ate meat in vain, so we began to work. Our elder Chuan has all kinds of whimsical ideas to have such achievements. ”
Winter Bear praised his mother before he said, "Who is this Elder Chuan?" ”
Bark said, "It's our fire boy." After the Chinese New Year, we received the instructions of our ancestors, announced to heaven and earth, and gave him the name Sichuan. I also stained it with light, and gave it the name of a tree. After the Chinese New Year, my mother said that he was already full of spring and autumn, so she named him an elder. ”
Winter Bear clenched his fists again: "Congratulations to Elder Chuan, congratulations to the tree leader." ”
Bark shook his hand and said, "You still call me Bark, that is, the friendship between you and me." Don't be so polite. Yes, you came just in time today, it is the day of the ten-day competition in my tribe, and today is the time when our three teams are resting, the battle is fierce, are you interested in taking a look? ”
Winter Bear said: "You can go in and see if you can ask for it." But please allow my retinue to set up a tent here, and I'll be back for the night. ”
"Our two tribes have formed an alliance, how can we let you sleep outside the mountains?" There are not many of you, and we have prepared a guest room, which is in the fence, and if you don't dislike it, just go and live in it. ”
Winter Bear's eyes lit up and said, "But live in that house?" ”
Bark smiled and said, "You'll know when you see it." ”
The bark leads the way in front, and the winter bear is curious in the back, and the baby generally looks around. I don't know how to get this way out. The trees were gone, and stone slabs were laid on the ground. During the day, it is a little hot, the ice and snow are civilized, and the ground is a little muddy, but you can still walk on the stone slab without getting your feet in the mud. After entering the fence, the bark pointed to the open space next to it and said, "The right side is near the water source, and we plan to use it as a vegetable field for farmland." Here on the right, we are now used as a school field, and we are doing our best and practicing archery here on weekdays. ”
"What is a vegetable field?" Winter Bear can understand some of the practice of archery, but he doesn't understand the farmland or anything.
Bark said: "I don't know much about this. Our Elder Chuan said that this is the place where things that bear fruit are planted. ”
The winter bear nodded to show that he understood, but he couldn't understand why he wanted to open up such a piece of land to "plant" in the forest of fruiting trees.
Outside the wall, two wooden houses were built, and the bark arranged for the Winter Bear's retinue to enter one of them, and let the Winter Bear go to the wall. And he himself climbed into a house that stood in the air.
Winter Bear Qi said: "The tree leader lives in a tree? ”
Bark smirked, "We call this house a watchtower." It's for guards. There are four groups of people in our tribe, and today there are three groups of people who take turns to rest, and I am the one who cannot take a break. I've already competed, and now it's time for me to take my shift. I'm going to go up and stand until it's dark before I can come down. I have already informed Elder Chuan. When you go in, he'll receive you. Don't be surprised if you can't be accompanied. ”
Winter Bear didn't dare to even talk, and followed the warriors of the tribe inside. The foot is still a stone slab, but it is paved more evenly than the outside. There was a strange pattern among the trees and the house that made him look very comfortable. The two of them walked to the glowing golden room, which was a small clearing. The wide door of the room faces the cave, and there is a strange sense of regularity. I looked carefully at the cave, and I didn't know what was going on in the cave, but I felt that the entrance of the cave had been polished like a polished stone tool, and the place where the cave entrance came out was a neat row of stone steps.
The golden room was bustling with activity, and Wang Chuan came out of the gate and showed a clean smile when he saw the winter bear. Before he could speak, Winter Bear asked, "Why does this room glow with golden light?" ”
Wang Chuan said: "This is caused by this kind of tree. This tree is the purple nan in the golden silk nanmu. After the tree grows into a talent, it will have a little golden vein, so it is called golden silk nanmu. I didn't expect anything like this here. When the tribesmen opened the road, they cut some back, and after peeling off the bark, they thought the pattern was beautiful, so they said that they would build such a house. This kind of tree grows very slowly, and it would have been a tyrannical thing to build a house like this, but I saw that there were still many of them in the mountains and forests, so I got such a house with them. ”
Golden silk nanmu was extremely expensive in later generations. Its wood has aroma, straight texture and fine structure, has the characteristics of not easy to deform and crack, and has a long service life, and is generally used as the beams and pillars of the palace or the longevity wood. It's worth a lot of money to make any piece of furniture. Because it grows slowly, it will be used less and less in later generations. But it's prehistoric, and everyone hasn't started using it yet. It doesn't matter if you waste some.
Listening to Wang Chuan's explanation, Winter Bear followed Wang Chuan into the house. The ground was covered with logs, surrounded by people. In the field, Bihu is fighting fiercely with a strong man who is no less than him.
