Chapter 45: The Beginning of the Village

Mother's bed was on the edge of the fire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Chuan laid dry lichen animal skins for his mother's bed, helped her onto the kang, and told her: "Go back and make you a small table, and you can eat on the bed." ”

Grandma quipped: "You can say no before." ”

Wang Chuan said: "I said before that you can't barbecue meat. At that time, it was all bones and dirty to eat. ”

Grandma scolded with a smile: "You love to be clean." ”

Mother thinks that this child is really speechless, at a young age, smart and diligent, all kinds of ideas look whimsical but always surprise everywhere, and he is brave and responsible. Even if you keep a baby elephant, you have a spiritual tightness. With this child here, he is willing to die immediately. Now I am counting on living a few more days, and seeing this child grow up healthy, then I will die without regrets. I just don't know what this little table looks like?

Before I knew it, my mother had forgotten what she thought she wouldn't survive this winter not long ago.

After the cave was rectified, the planned project progress was more than half completed.

The first snow stopped in less than half a day, and a little snow foam on the ground quickly disappeared without a trace when the wind blew it. The people of the tribe hurried to finish the other work, and the next snow was coming, but I was afraid that it would be goose feathers.

In the later stage, thatched houses, fences and roads were to be built. At the same time, a piece of wasteland was burned for next year's farming.

Now there are many people and fast hands, and the construction of the thatched house only took a day's work. It's just that the renovation inside took another day. The hut was divided into several compartments, the floor was paved with fire bricks, the clay pipe was connected to the manure tank, and the door with wooden nails was installed. But this door is for the wind and snow, and nothing else. Three or two months ago, these people were basically bare-chested, and they simply wouldn't install the door if they were particular about it. Wang Chuan also erected a bamboo pipe in front of the thatched house to facilitate flushing, which feels very similar to the village toilets in the early years.

After the thatched house is built, the thatched pit must also be blocked with wood and surrounded by a fence, otherwise the baby elephant will have a lot of fun swimming with the child.

In terms of fencing, Wang Chuan planned to enclose a square with a size of 300 meters by 300 meters. Fifty meters from the hillside behind the cave, it stretches like a river for more than 200 meters. This includes a cave, a stream, a bamboo forest, and so on. The scope of the fields to be cultivated in the coming year is also included in this.

The fence is made by nailing sharpened wood into the ground, or by tying a few horizontal logs with rattan to the trees along the way, and finally putting thorns on it as protection.

The 1,200-meter-long fence is lined with trees cut from the planned fields, houses, and roads. Some suitable small trees in other locations are also cut down, leaving healthy large trees to shade and keep the birds out. In addition, along the fence, some of the trees on the outside are also cut down to leave a passage for easy repair.

In this way, not only are there more trees in the fence, but there are also many more trees that can be dried for later use.

Men cut down trees and nail stumps to build fences, while women cut down thorns for protection. Cut down the thorns or thorny rattans in the village first, and then go to the surrounding mountains and forests to cut them down. It's best to fence the fence until it's impenetrable.

In doing so, the traps that had been set up around the cavern were also cleared and installed in various easily accessible places outside the fence.

With the axe and machete, the construction of the fence started on all sides at the same time, and the progress was extremely fast. It didn't take a few days to complete the encirclement. Gates are left on all sides of the fence to facilitate everyone's entry and exit.

Finally, the road was repaired, and an open ditch was dug for drainage. The prototype of a village came out.

When the last section of the open ditch was dug into the stream, the sweaty Bihu was holding a hoe, looking at the newly formed village, and his eyes were quite satisfied.

"You've traveled to so many places, and you've never seen them?" Wang Chuan asked.

Bihu scratched his head first, and then nodded: "I haven't seen it." ”

"And what do those places look like?" Wang Chuan is also very curious about other big tribes now, and from time to time he will ask some about Bihu. Bihu doesn't have a lot of vocabulary, and many times he doesn't speak very clearly, or he says "just like that". Sometimes it also makes Wang Chuan speechless.

The scene around the tribe now is a bit like a garden village in later generations. The thatched house ditch stone road, the rare level of the tree forest, and now there are no thorns in the forest, the baby elephant and the child are running around in the forest, although it is the late autumn and winter solstice, it still gives people a very warm pastoral feeling.

These things are comfortable to look at than the tiger, but it is difficult for him to describe them.

Regarding Wang Chuan's question, he also thought about it before saying: "They have grass huts, the kind that are held up with tree branches, and some will also have stones as walls, but they are not so straight. There won't be such a road. In many places, there are either no trees or many trees. It's more ...... Disorderly. ”

"You don't regret staying, do you?" Wang Chuan said with a smile.

Bihu Han smiled and didn't answer this question, but asked, "The town you are talking about is like this?" ”

Wang Chuan said: "It's only now where to follow." To build a town, all the mountains and forests on both sides of the river will become like this. Or maybe it's all farmland. There is still a long way to go, so let's work slowly. ”

"What would that look like?" Fascinated by the tiger.

It seems that Bihu is beginning to yearn for that kind of scene. But how can that be the end?

In this era, because of the Xiaoice River, survival was already much more difficult than in later generations. The excellence of an individual or a small group is just a wave in the long river of time, and maybe a small cold will extinguish this wave.

Wang Chuan doesn't want to be ruthlessly wiped out by the long river of time, what he has to do is to constantly expand his strength, expand his circle, and even improve the survival foundation of the entire society, only in this way can he and his team get more guarantees and survive for a long time in this long river of time.

It's a really long road. Now, he's just getting started. And what he has to do now is to take every step well.

"Bihu, have you ever seen a planter?" Wang Chuan took Bihu and walked in the direction of the planned farmland.

Bihu asked, "Like the dolphin tribe?" ”

The dolphin tribe will bury a corner of the potato in the soil when digging the potato weed. In a sense, this is also the prototype of planting.

Wang Chuan asked, "Is there anything more advanced?" For example, watering, weeding, fertilizing, etc.? ”

Bihu thought for a while and said: "After I came out of the grassland, I saw a tribe called Youhebu, they ate a kind of grass seed on the grassland, small, yellow, they also grow like the dolphin tribe. There is watering. ”

That could be corn. Wang Chuan guessed. If you have a chance, I'll go over and get some. A variety of several things, but also a guarantee.

They walked to the location of the farmland, where the trees had been cut down and covered with fallen leaves. Just light these and clean the roots again next year, turn over the soil and plant them.

The surrounding fire barrier has been cleared. Wang Chuan blew up the fire matchmaker and said, "Bihu, follow me, I will take you into the agricultural era." ”

Bihu: "......"
