Chapter Seventy-Six: Building a House
And the specific performance of our little prince of javelin, Yi, is that his chin is raised higher, which makes people feel that he is more arrogant!
Due to the simplicity of this matter, the tool production team led by Yi quickly achieved its goal and merged into the foundation excavation team.
But since he was sent by Chen Chao to lead a working group alone, a certain Yi has been working hard.
Although he had just finished making a batch of tools that he didn't know what to do, Yi felt that he was not tired at all, and he waved a wooden shovel under his hand~
The one-eyed mud team also joined the foundation excavation team after reconciling the first batch of yellow mud, because Chen Chao observed the progress, it is more difficult to build the wall directly today, so there is no need to make too much yellow mud.
With the efforts of all the members of the foundation excavation team, the foundation was finally dug when it was almost dark.
Chen Chao took the lead in building some yellow mud bricks again, and finally used up the yellow mud that came out before eating, and there was no waste. However, the progress was not very large, and only a wall tile was built that was not higher than the height of the calf.
But there was really no way, it was dark, and the whole tribe was almost paralyzed. You can only do some simple manual work by the moonlight and firelight.
This is equivalent to saying that the labor force at night is basically not able to be used normally.
Of course, in the case of a small population, the night is still mainly rested. Otherwise, such a call for people day and night will really tire people to death.
This night the Tian Yuan tribe spent a very relaxed night, because they didn't have to review today's homework while rubbing the straw rope, anyway, there would be no class tomorrow~
Today I only use a pleasant straw rope~~
After waking up in the morning and having breakfast, it was time to start building wall bricks, and the mud team led by One-Eye separated from the mud again. The foundation excavation team also got the Xiaoping shovel made by the tool production team led by Yi yesterday, which is still led by the moa egg killer Yi.
In addition, a few strong people were assigned to be responsible for moving the bricks to the designated position, led by Da Zhuang.
After arranging the specific matters, the Tianyuan tribe construction team will start construction~
Chen Chao and Yuan are responsible for the overall planning, and they will run wherever they are needed. Wu led his old followers to do their best to do the logistics for everyone.
Now the logging work is in the hands of the gathering team, although it is not as efficient as the full-fledged logging team, but it is barely usable. The main thing is that there are really no people in the tribe to cut wood. The previous few mud kilns burned for several days in a row, and the firewood volcanoes in the cave decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Taking advantage of the fact that there had been no snow in the past few days, Chen Chao sent the collection team out to cut wood. However, because they did not have proper animal skin clothes to protect them from the cold, they could only wrap themselves in the animal skins they slept in. So Chen Chao told them not to go too far, and try to solve it near the tribe.
Although the body was not warm enough, the feet were fine, and each of them had limbs covered in sackcloth and animal skins. He also wears a fur hat that he had been issued out of before (the head of the hide is cut off separately, and then the edges are punched out with small stones, and the two heads are put together to make a simple and warm fur hat. )
The tribe's side is in full swing to build yellow mud bricks, and the logging team will also carry back the divided wood from time to time. On the banks of the river, smoke rose from the stove, thanks to Wu and his old henchmen.
Today's little kids also made an exception for a day off, no need to rub the straw rope or study, and play wherever they want.
The whole tribe presents a peaceful atmosphere.
But not all tribes are the same as the Tian Yuan tribe,
There is a small tribe of only 20 people called the Grass Tribe, who like to live close to the grassland.
When they woke up, they inexplicably found that it was actually winter. Remember that before going to bed, it was still autumn, and they began to collect and store food.
But now it's winter, and the fruit can't be found, and even the prey that used to be seen so often can't be seen. They didn't have enough skins to save, not even enough for a few people to wrap around their waists. But in this winter, is there any difference between having an extra animal skin around your waist and one less on your waist?
After a few days of hard work, they took the few remaining hides from the tribe and began to walk farther afield in search of food when the snow stopped.
Because in the grasslands near the tribe, they can no longer find food to eat. The animals that were so common and white and easy to catch are gone.
Occasionally, you can see some rabbits and weasels or something, but because of the lack of meat, it is difficult to catch. So before the most dangerous time, the grass tribe still pinned its hopes on getting that white animal.
At first, the hunting team still went and returned on the same day, but the food they hunted was not even enough to support the food that the hunting team needed for a single trip.
They not only went to the grasslands, but even to the mountains behind. As they climbed the mountain, they found that there was a place where four strange plumes of black smoke were emitting for several days. This made them feel very strange and reported it to the leaders of the tribe and the witch queen.
The leader consulted with Wu all night, and finally decided that he and Wu would take the whole tribe and set out, bringing all the rations in the tribe! As for whether the original place of residence will be snatched away, they are not afraid at all.
Because there is nothing in the place of residence. There was no meat to eat, no hides, only a large cave.
It was a very young tribe, with no old men, only adult men and women, and some half-grown sons and girls, and only two children, the children of chiefs and witches.
Because both the witch and the leader had seen this kind of black smoke in a large tribe, although it was not so big, it did smoke.
Moreover, their ancestors had seen a mountain shrouded in this black smoke, and from time to time there was a lot of good smell of meat. Under the black smoke, you can also see a yellow-red thing, which is very painful to touch.
So they didn't try to catch the yellow-red thing, and when they were gone, they went to the mountains and picked up a lot of fragrant meat.
It was the happiest time for their tribe, and they had endless meat to eat every day.
This legend has been passed down from generation to generation by the people of the tribe. Now, in their generation, they have seen the black smoke that seems to be legendary. It may be possible to get the same food as their ancestors, so that the whole tribe can survive the winter.
The leader of the grass tribe and the witch thought that if they only sent a hunting party to get food, they were worried that if they came and went, the rest of the tribe would starve to death.
In this way, their whole clan embarked on a migration journey with hope.
At this time, when the construction team of the Tianyuan tribe was in full swing, Chen Chao faintly heard the cries of children and the shouts of adult men.
Even Yuan, who was helping to move bricks on the side, heard it, the two glanced at each other, and felt a strange feeling in their hearts, aren't all the men in the tribe here?
Could it be that someone from another tribe is coming?
Chen Chao and Yuan put down the work in their hands, took a few young and strong men and walked in the direction of the sound. I didn't go far when I saw a little boy in the tribe, Xiao Zhuang, surrounded by a group of naked savages, one of the hemp nests on his feet had run away, and the animal skin on his shoulders was also held in the hands of those savages.
These savages also had to reach out to pull the animal skin around Xiao Zhuang's body, and one of them picked up the hemp nest that Xiao Zhuang had lost, and was about to put it on his feet, but he couldn't stuff it in, and he was so angry that he threw it on the tree.
There was Da Zhuang in the team that followed Chen Chao and Yuan, although Da Zhuang was not sure if Xiao Zhuang was his biological son, but other people in the tribe said that the two of them looked alike.
As soon as Da Zhuang saw that Xiao Zhuang was being bullied, where could he bear it, he was so angry that he wanted to rush straight up.
As a result, he was stopped by Yuan and motioned for him to wait.
Da Zhuang looked around and calmed down a little. When my group of people came out, they didn't bring anything, and there were fewer people than others. What is it to rush up and give away someone's head?
Different from Yuan and Da Zhuang's reaction, Chen Chao was stunned at first after seeing these people, and then his color became very ugly.
