Chapter Ninety-Four: Two Tigers
The pottery department led by Chen Chao set off before dawn the next day, and each of them brought the dried meat and weapons of today's three meals. He also carried a rattan basket with some processed wood and flammable leaves and twigs.
You don't need to pack too much, as long as you have enough to burn on the same day. If you have more, you really can't take it.
The main reason for preparing the wood is that although it has not snowed for several days, the snow is showing signs of melting.
But the improvised collection of wood must all be damp. And it is very dangerous to rashly scatter people around to collect wood in a relatively unfamiliar place.
In the eyes of those beasts who don't know whether they are hungry or full, isn't this just a winter snack delivered to their door? ~
So when you get to the foot of Tianyuan Mountain, the first thing you have to do is to raise the fire. Moreover, the soil in winter must be frozen to a very hard point, and if you don't burn it on it, there is no way to build a mud kiln, let alone make mud bricks and tiles with mud.
The molds needed to make mud bricks and tiles are scattered among individuals, and those who don't have a clay pot have to take two or three molds, which is not troublesome. Some choose to put it directly in the rattan basket, while others choose to put it on the arm.
The part of the people who didn't take the mold turned the clay pot and bowl upside down on top of their head and used it as a second hat.
This way it doesn't feel too heavy, and you can have one hand free to deal with emergencies at any time. For example, you can hold various weapons or tools such as wooden shovels, and you can still hold a torch in the other hand.
The trolley will not be used for the time being, because there is only one in the tribe now. The one that was ordered before dinner yesterday has not yet been completed, so this one will be left in the tribe for reference by the wind trolley manufacturing department.
And the stone axe of the Tian Yuan tribe is now enough for each person, but the people who have joined the new grass tribe are not yet available. But each of them received a short spear today, and the people of the Tian Yuan tribe had two spears and one short spear.
Although it is troublesome, the weapon must still be carried on the body. If it's too heavy, you can find a way to carry it on your back.
Some of those who had animal skin clothes wore animal skin clothes, and those who did not wore animal skin quilts that they slept on, as women did. There are warm hairy nests on the feet, even the people of the grass tribe.
The fourteen new members of the Grass Tribe have all been placed in the Pottery Department, and they are not suitable to join the hunting team for the time being, nor are they suitable to join the Wind Unicycle Manufacturing Department to stay in the tribe.
But now that each of them had received a little lynx skin, the two of them could barely cover themselves when they were huddled together at night. And they all slept together, with rabbits in their arms and hay under them, so they were still relatively warm.
During the day, he learned to wrap animal skins around his body like the people of the Tianyuan tribe, and each person also received two straw ropes, and learned to use straw ropes on his chest and waist like everyone else.
Although they had not yet received the same treatment as the natives of the Tianyuan tribe, they were not dissatisfied in their hearts. He is an outsider, and these things were originally obtained by the people of the Tianyuan tribe in the autumn, and now they are willing to share them with themselves.
It was an animal skin wrapped around their bodies, and they all felt that the effect of keeping out the cold was great, and their hearts were even more satisfied.
In their hearts, these are all things that they have earned for nothing. In the middle of winter, the Tianyuan tribe not only gave themselves food, but also gave them animal skins a few days after they joined.
What is this not for nothing?
As for work? If you want to eat, can't you work?
How can there be a reason to just eat and not work?
In the past, in their tribe, they were all those who only worked and didn't give them food! Not to mention wanting to have a fur collar.
In the winter, when food was scarce, they were driven out naked in search of food. When they didn't need to look for it, they huddled in the cave and shivered from the cold.
Even if there are animal skins, they will never be available to everyone. More often than not, it's the leaders and witches who use the rest to make it their turn.
Some of them are also those who need to go out to hunt, and as for the women who can no longer go out to collect in winter, what hides do you want?
And sometimes it doesn't always work.
Now everyone can actually receive a piece of animal skin, and they all feel beautiful. Not only that, but when they are very busy and tired, they can eat three meals a day, which is a life they never dared to think of before.
Dozens of torches made overnight lined up on the mountain paths, the cold wind of the winter night blows in the face, the stars in the sky are sparse, and the forest occasionally sounds the chirping of early birds.
The women walked in the middle, and the men spontaneously walked in the front and back of the line. There is darkness in the distance with no end in sight, and man is born to fear darkness.
Rao is a bloody man, and when facing the unknown, he can't help but feel a little scared.
At this moment, they heard the deputy leader who was walking in front shouting, "Let's go to class while walking today!" Come, everybody sing with me..."
Some of the people at the end of the line who couldn't hear clearly were about to express themselves, but before they could answer, they heard a melodious melody from the mouths of the little javelin prince Yi, the prince of the throwing stone, and the hunting prince Ji, who were walking behind the deputy leader.
"Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast. One has no tail, the other has no head (one eye is missing, and one of the grass tribes has had his ear scratched off by a lynx, and here is a slight change to prevent the two of them from thinking about it, and also to respect them), what a strange, really strange! ”
"Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast. One without a tail, the other without a head, it's weird, it's weird! ”
A catchy and simple children's song echoed in the mountains. The voices of dozens of people shook countless birds, and bright torches reflected the faces of everyone. People who were a little scared at the beginning shouted harder when they sang.
So in the beautiful melody, from time to time you can hear a few serious out-of-tune sounds, but the sound just got up and stopped abruptly, and they seem to realize that they are different from others.
After quietly closing his mouth, his eyes looked left and right, only to find that there was no one on the left and right. The people in front and behind couldn't see themselves again, so they were relieved to keep up with the rhythm of the large army.
The women in the middle sang the most cheerfully, because there were people in front of them and in front of them, and they had bright and warm torches in their hands. All have more leisure to joke and play.
And they've never been so far away from the tribe, let alone going with the team to another place in the middle of the night. So they felt new and a little nervous in their hearts.
The singing of the whole team gradually became neat from the sparse and lala at the beginning, and the cheerful tune and catchy melody also swept away the fear and tension in everyone's hearts, bringing a bit of relaxation and joy to this team walking at night.
Chen Chao took the lead in singing at the front, and felt inexplicable shame in his heart.
'Hiccup~~ People who travel through the country are all copying poems and poems, and a poem is famous all over the world. And what about me, Chen Chao? He also taught primitive people to sing two tigers here. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed to be a shame on the traverser genre...'
But I really can't help it, I can't go to class today. I had to teach them according to their aptitude, Wu and Yuan taught them the daily language of wind wheelbarrow yesterday, and they each taught the department they were responsible for tomorrow.
On the side of the pottery department, because of the proximity to the water, Chen Chao's 'teacher' is on their side, so the range of things that can be learned will be larger.
As for the everyday phrases they didn't learn about wind-powered wheelbarrows, they would teach each other when they returned to the tribe in the evening and began to rub the straw ropes.
Before leaving, I will find a big class once a day and take the whole day. It is designed to fill in all the languages you have learned before. As for the little kids, their full-time class can only be managed by the little old man recently, and the main responsibility is to review all the words they have learned before, and they also need exams on the day of the big class.
The sky is getting brighter, and now everyone doesn't have to sing 'Two Tigers' to be brave. But everyone is still curious about what tigers are to death, why don't they have heads and tails?
