The bitten animal stopped screaming after struggling and choking a few times, and was usually quieter at night than during the day, so that the sound of the thing chewing on the bones could be heard clearly, and it was certain that the bitten thing must have been the wild jackal that often crouched at our door, a carnivorous canine smaller than the wolf.

I remember that they all live in groups, like they are positioned in the ecological chain at the hunter level, even if they can't hunt food, they are rarely hunted, but tonight I can hear one of them screaming and being devoured and eaten meat, it seems that the thing I saw is really terrifying.

"That thing has already started to try to use this as a hunting ground, we don't have that much time, are you sure you're going to be that complicated? Not to mention the wooden ox flowing horse, there are a lot of skillful work, even if you can do it, we can't make it in one night, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it may delay things, so let's make a board car. I said.

"I can do it, but I've only done miniature carpentry before, but I know the parts and the principle, so you just have to see the parts out according to my requirements, and make them as smooth as possible, and I can make the wooden oxen and horses." Yingchun said.

"Brother Zhou Bo, my sister does have this ability, why don't we try it, it was difficult to transport grain in Shu Road back then, relying on Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's wooden ox and flowing horse to overcome the danger of Shu Road, although we roughly drove out although it is not as good as Seiko carving, but at least tomorrow when we transport goods will save a lot of effort, the board car is mostly used on some flat roads in the market, this mountain road is rugged and steep, I am afraid it will be a lot sad." Song Bailu persuaded.

"Anyway, the board car also needs to be made, so it's better to use a little more to see if it can be made in time." Yun Wen said.

Since they all said so, I don't want to disobey everyone's wishes, so I can only agree to this plan, but in my heart, I am afraid that this girl will not have the ability to delay her efforts.

"Well, since everyone said so, I don't object to it, so let's follow this plan. Now we are immediately divided into two teams, Yun Wen you and Bai Lu are responsible for cutting the wheat stalks with stone chips, and when the harvest reaches a certain amount, they will be bundled with wheat stalks and placed on the ground so that they can be easily carried away, and in case of danger, they will immediately blow the whistle, while the other team, Yingchun and I are responsible for quickly making the wooden ox and flowing horse. I said.

The girls nodded, and Yun Wen and Bai Lu also took the torches and went out to the end of the medina.

Yingchun and I discussed the details of the production in the house, she probably couldn't say it herself, and I couldn't ask in detail, and the final solution was that she used charcoal to draw the required parts and sizes on the ground, and I completed them one by one according to her requirements.

Fortunately, not all the wood sawn before was burned, and there are some stacks that can be used.

After I found the wood, she planned to make a sample for me, bring a saw, saw the wood chips about two knuckles thick, and draw lines with black charcoal on the wood chips, and then began to saw the wood, about a fan surface, and then cut off the excess with a bayonet knife, so that I could refer to the sawing four.

I grew up in the countryside, this saw is more powerful than hers, about a stick of incense time sawing into what she requested, and during this time, she to the fan half arc thick wood thickness left and right and the arc inside each two rectangular sockets, see that I got it, she then processed the other three fan wood chips, in the same way, and at the same time on the ground to draw a rectangular wooden strip with tenon for me to make, a total of eight, and four relatively short, but just ordinary small wooden strips.

Since there is no fine measurement, we can only use my knuckles as the standard for measurement, one knuckle, two knuckles, so as to represent the distance of the wood, and the direct width of my index finger is basically one centimeter, which is also a relative standard, Song Yingchun took a fancy to this, specially found a useless wooden strip, and used charcoal to measure the width of my fingers, and ten lines are almost ten centimeters, so I use it as a ruler.

I made a good saw, and soon I did what I had to do, and while I was done, she was almost done, and then she asked me to make an octagonal diamond, and I quickly sawed it out for her to refine, and for the sake of the flow work, she arranged the next task, and I saw that she herself used a bayonet to chisel a small octagonal diamond in the octagonal diamond, and then stuffed in a small piece of wood that fit perfectly, and the middle of the piece of wood was hollowed out in a circle.

Until now, I couldn't see what she was doing, until she combined the four fans with four small wooden strips, combined the wooden tenon of the slightly longer wooden strips with the socket of the inner orientation of the fan, and then used the same tenon principle to connect the octagonal diamond in the center, and the whole look was the shape of a wooden wheel!

"Wow! This is the wheel? "I couldn't help but pick up the weighing.

Since this is the tenon technology used in ancient times, it is particularly strong, and if you don't deliberately dismantle it, it is not easy to fall apart.

It didn't take long for Yun Wen and Bai Lu to come in after finishing their work over there, and when they saw the ingenious appearance of this wheel, they couldn't help but admire me and Yingchun, but Yingchun was not convinced, after all, all this was something in her head, and I was just a starter.

The four of them can work faster, and I still get the big parts, and the mortise and tenon wood chips at the other end, as well as the use of stones to grind an octagonal wooden strip into a cylindrical shape with stone, etc., these are all handed over to the girls to complete the division of labor, and during this period, it is basically Yingchun while doing and directing.

The construction work is getting faster and faster.

I used to think that this wooden ox flowing horse is a difficult thing to complete, but now it is divided into various parts for assembly, which is basically a flow operation that can be completed, the only difficulty is the use of those carpentry mortise and tenon joints, and these technologies are also what Yingchun is good at.

Soon the parts were completed the same one after another, and after Yun Wen had completely ground the octagonal wooden strips into cylinders, Yingchun made two sockets at the edge of the cylindrical wooden strips, and at the same time used the wooden tenon plug that had been prepared in advance, and then put the cylindrical wooden strips into the circle in the middle of the combined wheel just now, and then combined all the parts, and then stuck the cylindrical wooden joints with wooden tenon plugs.

The whole wooden ox and horse are completed in this way, the so-called silk into the buckle, this is my feeling about it, all the parts through the arrangement and combination, the way of mortise and tenon connection, basically more refined than the modern process.

I saw that its appearance is similar to a single-wheeled board car, but it is more delicate, and it even feels that some weight can be ignored when pushed, and there is a combination of wooden troughs on it, and a lot of things can be placed next to the wooden troughs, and the most important thing is that it is not afraid of bumps when walking on mountain roads, and the device is simple but ingenious, and it can walk and stop, avoiding a lot of dangers.

And before we knew it, the whole night had passed, the sun had come out, we were all immersed in the assembly line of this production, forgetting the fatigue, until this thing was completely finished, we each stretched our waists, showing fatigue.

Then I put the harvested bundles of wheat into the wooden notch, the capacity here is not bad, so many bundles of wheat can be put down most of the half, the rest is tied with ropes on both sides, by the way a few long fungus wood is also tied, so that all the belongings are transported, and the key is to use, but also to help save labor.

I couldn't help but say, "The wisdom of the ancestors is really infinite. ”

"It's also our Yingchun sister who is capable, right?" Yun Wen said.

I nodded immediately, she was really helpful!

"It's nothing, this can't be called a wooden cow flowing horse now, because the cow head hasn't been done yet, the time is not enough, if there is a chance, the cow head is made, and it will be completely completed by pressing it, this is at most a semi-finished product." Song Yingchun said proudly.
