Chapter 10: The knife and the butt

The swarthy young man's name is Duan Qi, a native of Qilu, who has grown up near the water since he was a child, and is proficient in water, in his words, the kind that can often catch fish with a fierce stab.

Liu Zhi felt that he was bold and clever, so he could be cultivated a little.

For a tribe of seventy or eighty people, if it wants to survive and develop, first of all, there must be a basic division of labor, men capture food, make tools, women do laundry and cooking, weaving and sewing, old and young can not be idle, everything within their ability must be done.

Tribes don't raise useless people!

This is a popular saying in the previous life, people who are unwilling to learn and are lazy will either be abandoned by the tribe and reduced to a wilderness and dry bones, or they will not be treated well by everyone, and no one will take care of them when they are hungry and sick, and they will not be able to establish a city-state at all.

There are more than forty young men in front of him, each of them urgently needs to master the necessary survival skills, but Liu Zhi's main task is to awaken, and it is impossible to put too much energy on helping them, his plan is to teach a few talented people first, and then let these people lead everyone.

"Help them solve food and water first, and other problems, and then I'll talk about it when I wake up." Liu Zhi secretly calculated.

After Duan Qi and the winger tried to kill the wild fish successively and there was no danger, the rest of the people gradually let go of their fears, and after a while, a few more people took the initiative to stand up and complete this thrilling experience under the protection of Liu Zhi.

These people are the kind of far-thinking kind, knowing that in such an environment, it is best not to rely on others, and it is most reliable to master survival skills by yourself, after all, it is a great fortune that others are willing to teach, and it is a dream to expect others to support you.

Anyone is selfish, and the difference is only between reason and irrationality, with the former being determined to be good and the latter being reduced to evil.

Of course, there are some people who don't think so, this kind of person tends to be simple, and can even be said to be stupid, others will think that they are honest and kind, and generally will not deliberately bully them, but sometimes they can't help but ridicule them, Wang Yimin just suffered such a loss, he was picked out by everyone, he felt that others could do it, and he would definitely be able to, and he didn't think too much about the consequences at all.

Liu looked at him dumbfounded, looking stunned, originally not very relieved, deliberately followed closer, but after finishing the matter, he found that he had completed every step well, not outstanding, but there were no mistakes, just a little polishing, should be able to fish alone.

Therefore, Liu Zhi deliberately encouraged him more, saying that if there is anything you don't understand, you can just ask, Wang Yimin scratched his head, smiled and responded, his teeth were white, and his smile was pure, which made people feel bad.

Liu Zhiting likes people with this kind of character, simple and practical, nothing fancy, what others dare not do, he can often do without hesitation, this may be the so-called stupid people have stupid blessings.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi turned his attention to the rest of the people, these guys hesitated one by one, and I don't know if they were not prepared or thought too much, Liu Zhi didn't bother to care, anyway, from tomorrow onwards, he didn't plan to teach them so hand-in-hand, he would only teach those who dared to try.

Learning more survival skills, you can get a better life, is the simplest survival rule in the other world.

It's true that stupid people have stupid blessings, but stupid people don't.

Sending those who were unwilling to try to the side to look for stones, Liu Zhi took Fang Shaochuan and a few people to continue fishing.

Soon more than an hour passed, seeing that the second round of red sun was about to set, Liu Zhi beckoned everyone to gather and set off to return to the gathering place, otherwise after a while, the sky would be completely dark, and he could not see his five fingers, and it was easy to fall behind or get lost.

On the way back, everyone was not empty in their hands, either holding stones, or carrying wild fish, or holding wild vegetables, because the purpose of this time was to teach, and the harvest of wild fish was not much, only fourteen, probably only enough for everyone to eat for two days.

Liu Nao was the same, carrying a few good knife rocks in his backpack, and carrying an arm-thick tree trunk on his shoulder, which he had just chopped down with a stone knife and intended to use to make an axe.

In the jungle, there are three most commonly used materials to make some simple household utensils, one is wood, the second is soil, and the third is stone. Each of the three materials has its own advantages and disadvantages, but for now, the most needed thing in the gathering place is wood, so Yanagi plans to teach them how to make stone axes first.

With this stuff, the efficiency of logging can be greatly improved.

When the group returned to the gathering place, fourteen huge wild fish were placed on the ground, causing the people left behind to cheer, such a harvest was simply unattainable in Liu Zhi's opinion, but in the eyes of the rest, it was undoubtedly extremely rich.

During the time when Liu Zhi and the others left, the people left behind were not idle, a lot of firewood had been picked up, and the stove was ready-made, just make a fire to cook the fish to open the rice, but because there was only one porcelain jar, someone wanted to put the wild fish on the rack and roast it to eat, but Liu Zhi stopped it.

In the wild, it is best not to bake the food if it can be cooked, one is unhygienic, the smoke produced by the flame burning, contains a lot of harmful substances, sticks to the food, and it is easy to spoil the stomach after eating; The second is that it is really not delicious, there are no various pickled sauces, and the baked food tastes very bad. Another point is that sticks can easily break during the grilling process.

There were two elderly people in their seventies and four children under the age of ten at the gathering place, and after discussing with the other two administrators, Uncle Li decided to let the six and all the women eat first, followed by the men.

The porcelain jar belonging to himself was requisitioned, Liu Zhi did not feel unhappy, now the entire gathering place is such a kitchenware, everyone should share it, and when there is enough wood, make a steamer steamer, this problem can be solved, and the porcelain jar will still be his.

Calling Fang Shaochuan, Bianfeng, and Wang Dong to his side, Liu Zhi took out three knife rocks from his bag, two large and one small, the big one is a stone knife that has been sharpened, and the small one is only palm long, cuboidal, like a wide and thick chisel, he looked around at everyone: "Anyway, there is nothing to do now, I will make a stone axe for you to see, you can learn hard, this thing is of great use." ”

Stone axe?

Several people raised their eyes to look at Liu Zhi, their eyes full of anticipation.

They all know that wood is a much-needed resource at the moment, but it is obviously difficult to knock down those big trees just by piercing them with a rough stone knife, but they don't know how to make stone axes?

Is it to make a hole in the wood and stuff the back of the stone knife into it?

Or tie a stone knife to a stick?

They can't imagine that the glitz and glamour of city life has stifled their imagination.

In fact, there is another reason why they are looking forward to it so much, in this place where birds don't, they don't find something to do, just chat in a daze, it's really a bit boring, for a modern person, this is undoubtedly the most difficult to solve after crossing over.

He first peeled off the bark of the tree trunk, revealing the white and yellow wood inside, and then cut off the wooden stick with a stone knife, picked up one of them, the back of the knife was close to the thicker end of the wooden stick, and used a stone chisel to draw a few shallow lines at the junction of the two, and explained by the way: "The trunk used to make the handle of the axe must be much wider than the back of the stone knife, otherwise the handle of the axe is easy to crack if it is used for a long time or if the force is too strong, and when the line is drawn, the hand should be steady, don't make the circle bigger, Otherwise, the stone knife will be too loose to get stuck in, and it will be difficult to fix it even if it is tied tightly with a rope. ”

Everyone nodded, one by one in their hearts, and many people on the side heard the movement and gathered around, some of them probably knew how to make stone axes, but it was the first time to see people operating on the spot.

After drawing the line, Liu Zhi pointed the stone chisel against the circle drawn, and kept beating it with another stick, like nailing, and soon made a square opening in the wooden stick, peeled off the sawdust, and he grabbed a few pieces of red-hot charcoal and threw them in, and then kept blowing on the gap to accelerate the charcoal burning.

The sparks flew, and the gap grew bigger and bigger, and when it was almost over, Liu Zhi poured out the charcoal, and took the stone chisel and began to knock it from the other side, until it penetrated the wooden stick and knocked out a hole that gradually narrowed and narrowed.

"The next thing is very simple, just chisel the hole a little bit bigger and make it about the size of the back of the knife."

Liu Zhi chiseled and compared, and when the difference was almost the same, he tried to stuff the back of the knife into the hole, and reminded by the way: "Pay attention, you can't be anxious in this process, you have to do it little by little, otherwise the hole is too big, and it will cause the stone knife to be unstable." ”

After repeating it several times, the stone knife was finally stuffed in, and Liu Zhi tried the stability, which was not bad, so he kept beating the tip of the knife with a wooden stick until the back of the knife was deeply embedded in the wooden stick and successfully fixed.

Liu Zhi took a long breath, looked left and right with the stone axe, felt quite satisfied, and said to everyone with a smile: "This is it, have you learned it?" ”

"I've learned it, but Brother Zhi, can this thing really cut down trees?" Fang Shaochuan was skeptical, the appearance of this stone axe was too rough, he believed that it would be possible to cut down a small tree, not long ago Liu Zhi did it with a stone knife, but if it was a big tree, he was afraid that it would break if he couldn't swing a few axes.

"I can cut it, I saw a classmate in my class use it when I was studying, and it's very easy to use." The winger chimed in.

Fang Shaochuan still couldn't believe it, he always felt that once the axe was overforced, the back of the knife would jump out of the handle, and Wang Dong and the others were also suspicious.

"You don't believe me?" Liu looked straight at Fang Shaochuan.

Fang Shaochuan nodded, and then felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, I ...... I just feel that I have to be skeptical about everything, and I was taught by my teacher. ”

After saying that, he laughed dryly.

"Come, today I'll let you know what a knife is." Liu Zhi stood up with a stone axe and walked towards a large tree not far away.

"What do you mean?" Fang Shaochuan chased after him.

Wang Dong obviously understood this stalk, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's just to open your eyes." ”

"Open your eyes...... Does it have anything to do with the ass? Fang Shaochuan was still at a loss.
