Chapter 40: Temporary Stronghold

The bad habit of bowing down was brought about by Bihu. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he felt that after kneeling, stretching his neck was to give up any action and expose his fatal parts, which was to completely give in.

Wang Chuan felt that it was not impossible to retain this kind of etiquette in major ceremonies, so he asked the newcomers to bow down to their mothers on the day they joined the tribe, but they did not expect that they would learn it spontaneously.

Knowing a certain etiquette of communication can also be regarded as a kind of civilization and enlightenment, Wang Chuan is ready to teach them the three etiquettes of clenching fists, bowing and bowing, so that they can use them on different occasions to show their humility. As for the handshakes and hugs in later generations, the reason why these are not taught is because Wang Chuan feels that such intimate contact with people who do not wash their hands or take a bath is not polite but hurtful, right?

It is good to let the tribesmen maintain a certain degree of respect, which can be easily managed, so Wang Chuan is not disgusted by the spontaneous kneeling of the tribesmen. At the beginning of the grass, it is inevitable to use what method is efficient. It's just a father in the crowd, what kind of mess are you making, aren't you kneeling your son afraid that your son will be struck by lightning?

Helping Kuan up first, Wang Chuan casually said a few words like everyone working together, and then asked everyone to get up and work. Even if I feel that this is necessary, but being kneeled by so many people, I always feel like I have been lying down, which is unlucky.

The people of the tribe can come overnight, and it is not appropriate for them to rush back overnight. And elephants can't be moved in a day. Wang Chuan discussed with everyone and decided to send five people to rush back with wild boar on their backs first, and report the safety to his mother first. The others unload the meat and roast the meat first, and go back in batches tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The meat is roasted dry, and the weight is lighter, so it is easier to handle.

The people removed the branches and leaves that were blocking the elephant's body, and found that there was a baby elephant lying there. Although the appearance of such a big guy jumping up was somewhat cute in Wang Chuan's opinion, it still brought a lot of fright to the people of the tribe. They were about to stage another elephant hunting battle with spears and machetes, but fortunately they were stopped by the quick-eyed Tiger.

The truth of letting the meat go back by itself is something that many people in the tribe can't figure out. But they won't think much about things they don't understand, as long as this thing is what Wang Chuan said, they feel that it will definitely work.

It's just that when everyone wants to pull the baby elephant away, the baby elephant stubbornly refuses to leave, and has to pull the elephant's trunk no matter what, which is a bit difficult to deal with. Wang Chuan came over to take a look, and then asked people to cut off the entire trunk of the elephant, and then dragged the elephant's trunk aside, and the baby elephant followed the trunk.

The baby elephant curled its trunk tightly, and its whole body was curled up in a ball, as if curled up next to the mother elephant, but it did not look at the body of the elephant when others were unloading it. This made the tribesmen feel very magical. Wang Chuan felt that this little elephant was really stupid, and he couldn't save it with medicine.

There are so many people that you can let the night watchman sleep first. There are also many people who have to sleep at night, and it is cold and freezing, and they have to dig a lot of holes to make most of them sleep. So in addition to the barbecue, there are also people who dig holes. The method of digging a hole for the night was boasted by the bark, which made many people very curious. So it won't be cold at night? Can you stay overnight without a cave? Oh, I see. Sure enough, the fire boy is omnipotent.

Seeing that the sun was past noon, there was only one shovel digging holes, and it was impossible to dig so many holes. Wang Chuan had no choice but to let people build a shack with a fence. I'm afraid I'll spend most of my time in the shack tonight. The bark was excited, and let him sleep or not, and let him take charge of the matter. Wang Chuan probably talked about how to build the shack, and let them play freely.

The salt mine is nearby, and now there are enough people, just to go and see, Wang Chuan asked the tribesmen to bring clay pots over, just to get salted meat on the spot.

Out of a sparse wood, where the salt mine is located, is a bare mountain area with occasional green, but also a salt-tolerant long grass and some low shrubs. For the most part, salt mines are exposed to the air like rocks.

But this place where there is almost no grass grows, it is a paradise for wild beasts. Before he could get out of the woods, the ground was covered with the footprints of various wild beasts. As soon as Wang Chuan and a few people came out of the woods, he saw a few muntjac licking the ground jumping up quickly and disappearing into the mountains and forests.

This is still the second day after the mother elephant ravages it, and if there is no infestation of the mother elephant for a long time, you can imagine what it would be like here. No wonder the dolphin tribe called this beast village. Maybe it's also a predator's paradise.

Seeing this mountain full of salt ore, Wang Chuan's thirst for salt became smaller. With such a small number of people in the tribe, the salt here will not be eaten for 10,000 years. But he became interested in the place: if there were so many wild beasts here, why didn't the tribe come here to hunt?

Far? This is not a problem, now the place where the tribe has built a hut has water and is not far from here, and there are many traps around it, and there are many thorns to block it, and a temporary stronghold can be built there. People from the tribe come here to hunt and can stay there for a few days. Then boil some salt by the way, marinate the meat and take it back with you.

Infested with predators? What is the tribe's iron tools used for? Mammoths can be killed, and how many tigers, leopards, and wild boars are afraid? These are also meat, okay?

Infested with mammoths? This is a problem, one or two can still deal with it, and when you encounter a group of ten Wang Chuan, you have to take a break. But it's a big deal, we won't be here during the mammoth season, okay?

Thinking of this, Wang Chuan had no intention of staying on the side of the salt mine any longer, and asked each of his companions to carry a basket of salt ore on their backs, and hurriedly returned to the stronghold where the shack was built. It is best to set up a temporary base while there are many people now.

The makeshift stronghold can't be made with a fragile thing like a fence, which will have nothing left after a snowstorm. Although it is a temporary base, it is the most basic thing to be strong. Wang Chuan thought of the adobe thatched hut.

This time, the work of digging a warm pit was completely stopped by Wang Chuan. There is only one shovel, and the adobe thatched hut can't be repaired in the next few days, and this stronghold will only exist in his imagination in the future. If you miss the manpower in front of you, it will be impossible to get so many people in the future.

This idea is also understaffed. Even the sleepers were called up to work.

Find a wider place next to the stream in the valley and shovel off the saprolite sand to reveal the mud layer below. Loosen the soil again, bringing in water and mud from the stream. The adobe bricks are too loose, so add hay to them to increase the toughness. Here and the mud are important, and the grass mowing is also important.

To make bricks, you need to have a mold, and you can use four wooden planks to nail out a square basket. There are no planks, someone has to sharpen the planks here.

After the shovel was vacated, a leeward depression was found, and Wang Chuan asked people to level out the land, dig out the saprolite layer above, dig out a shallow ditch for the foundation, and dig a drainage ditch on all sides.

Even the roof of a thatched house needs beams and shelves on the roof, and these pieces of wood need to be strong, and they need to be cut down.

Once this is done, there are only a few people left who barbecue meat, boil salt and build shacks. This made the tribesmen full of resentment. I don't know what to do when you have meat and salt and still engage in these incomprehensible things......
