Soon after the farmland burned down, the snow fell in waves, and in just one night, the outside of the cave became a world of pink and jade. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Chuan looked at the date of his lunar calendar and found that the ice age was really terrifying, even if it was only the tail of the ice age. Now it is only the end of October of the lunar calendar, and compared with later generations, it may not snow in the Taihe River basin at this time. Now that the Taijiang River basin has become like this, you can imagine what the scene is in the north.

Compared to the ice and snow outside, the cave is as warm as spring. The people of the tribe never went out again, and even the people in the blacksmith workshop were taken by the grandmother to take a holiday in the cave to avoid the cold. Everyone curled up in the hides of dry lichens and enjoyed this rare leisure.

Some of the women kneaded ropes out of the bark of a flax tree or the long hair of a mammoth, and discussed how to make a bigger and stronger web. Some are using knives to cut the last hunted hides, making all kinds of clothes, pants, shoes, or other leather goods.

Some men are bored grinding some animal teeth and animal bones for decoration. Some are pondering how to polish all kinds of ironware. It's more about sitting on the ondol and doing nothing.

The bark was bustling with activity, polishing the great tusks while repeating the day he had hunted the elephant. From the initial digging of the warm hole, to his discovery of Zhemu, to how to make the elephant fall into the trap in the end. How brave he and Wang Chuan were in the whole process, how witty, how desperate they were, and so on. He has a great talent for speaking, and the process is exaggerated and thrilling, with ups and downs. The people of the tribe listened to it with relish every time, and he was satisfied.

From time to time, children mischievous or baby elephants in the cave also filled the cave with laughter.

The elephant house was never built. When the cave was being built, the baby elephant was allowed to live in a firewood house for one night, but the fool ate the thatch on the roof of the house out of a hole. Considering that there are no tiles at the moment, this situation is extremely unavoidable, and it is not too big, and it is still clean, like letting it stay in a cave.

It usually lies on the edge of the fire and is teased by children, who also like its furry body, and often lean on it and refuse to come down.

The baby elephant has become familiar with the children, and its habit of stealing and eating is also used to the children not being presentable. From time to time, the children hook a piece of dry lichen and stuff it into its mouth in exchange for playing with its nose for a while. Or let the children steal the potatoes and feed it, and the children will sit on its back for a while, and this kind of hook happens every day.

The happiest thing about the snow is the tiger. In this way, Wang Chuan had no excuse not to teach him how to make bows and arrows. To make a strong bow of Zhemu, Wang Chuan only knows the theory, and if he wants to make it, he needs to ponder.

Fortunately, the tiger has hands-on ability, and Wang Chuan has ideas, so the two of them sit by the fire and cut out a lot of crumbs every day and study non-stop. Wang Chuan said that a good bow should be combined with tendons and horns, and Bihu used all kinds of antlers, muntjac horns, sheep horns, etc. to constantly experiment, and finally I don't know how Bihu persuaded his mother to let his mother take out the only horn in the tribe. From time to time, the two of them made some bows and arrows, and went to the mouth of the cave to test their shots, despite the wind and snow. No one knows how effective it will be, but it can be seen from Bihu's increasingly pronounced smile that this thing is not far from his satisfaction.

In later generations, some masters said that the cold winter of survival is the time for the group to practice internal skills. Wang Chuan thought so. Let everyone be idle in winter, it is better to sort out the things within the tribe and teach everyone a little something, so that you can better organize your actions in the future.

In his spare time, Wang Chuan sorted out the commonly used Chinese characters that combined with the language habits of the tribe, and planned to teach these children to read and count this winter. Let the adults sit in on the hearing. It is not possible for all of them to be able to read and write, but at least most of them must be civilized and know logic. For example, you can distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, up and down, left and right, and you can say who is more and who is less than thirty and fifty, and so on. Like Bihu, who uses the octal system of the pit people, and says that three stretches out four fingers, it should also be corrected, otherwise there will be obstacles to communication.

Wang Chuan arranged for these things to be taught after nightfall, about half an hour to read and write, and half an hour to count. During this period, one or two small stories such as chasing the sun and Jingwei reclamation will be inserted to explain the meaning of words, or one or two biological or physical common sense. In addition, if you have any questions, you will explain them after class.

Teaching is unified teaching, but children who learn more and learn less will be assessed, and adults will not require it.

In this process, to Wang Chuan's surprise, the learning ability of the bark and the mother was actually good. Maybe Ah Mu had learned a lot from Wang Chuan's teaching spirits before, and now after learning some more, she would be able to recognize Wang Chuan's calendar written on the rock wall. And it is really surprising that the bark can draw inferences about what the number is after a hundred.

It seems that the grandmother has lived a long time and is not without wisdom at all.

In addition to teaching, sorting out materials and analyzing various data to make more suitable production arrangements for next year is also part of the internal improvement.

When Wang Chuan was counting the iron tools, he actually found that there was a discrepancy in the number of shovels, machetes, axes, and spears. That's a bit weird. Could it be that it was damaged at such a short time? Wang Chuan couldn't help but doubt the quality of these iron objects.

After a round of questioning, the tooth injury was a little embarrassed and said, "It was snowing that day, so I put these in the warehouse over there." ”

This made Wang Chuan a little surprised, the people of the tribe of iron tools are very cherished, although they know that no one will steal them if they are kept outside, but they usually bring them back to the cave. Knowing that these things are in the iron room, it will be fine, just go back and take a look when the weather is fine.

As the strongest man in the dolphin tribe before, although he was not as brilliant as the bark after joining the River tribe, he was still very diligent and attentive. He went down to the river with Kuana to hunt crocodiles, and it is said that he worked well with them. At the same time, this person is also close to everyone, more studious, and more concerned about several companions with leg injuries. When he came back from hunting, he often went to help hammer iron. Everyone liked him better.

Although the dolphin tribe has not joined for a long time, the relationship between the two sides has been extremely harmonious after the transportation of elephants and the run-in of construction. I believe that now the people of the Dolphin Tribe already know the benefits of joining the River Tribe. Wang Chuan was quite satisfied with this, and he didn't think much about what he said about the tooth injury.

On this day, the baby elephant that had been trapped for many days rushed out of the cave with a scream, and a bunch of children behind him also rushed out.

The adults of the tribe also discussed going out to hunt, now they have shoes and clothes, and the weather will not be too cold when they come back early, and they can move their muscles and bones when they go out for a walk, and maybe they can also hunt fresh meat. My mother didn't say anything, she just asked those who were willing to go out to go out, and if they didn't go out, just take a look around. So many people went out with tools and dry food.

Wang Chuan saw the baby elephant playing crazy in the snow, took out the leather sheath rope for pulling the cart and the sleigh that had been made a long time ago, and then put on his head cover, thinking that this winter could also be very interesting.
