99. It's better to be in time than to be in time - let's transport an elephant
As soon as dawn was gone, I walked to the settlement of the Yanshan tribe, thinking that I could go back and get a good night's sleep, but I didn't even enter the gate of the tribe, so I was dragged out. Xiao Xiaoxiao is physically and mentally exhausted, but she can't ignore Shen, if she doesn't take care of his injuries and what sequelae will fall, she can't feel at ease in her life. So I could only stubbornly follow, and it happened that the children of the tribe also went to join in the fun, and Youcan dragged her and was not left behind.
The place where the hunt was held was a bit far from the tribe's settlement, and it took me nearly half an hour to get there. The crooked bushes, the blood scattered everywhere, and the sound and smile of the ancient giant beast, Xiao Xiaoxiao only understood the fierce attributes of the ancient people, and clearly recognized the harsh living environment here. It's not easy to live, how difficult is life, how can she stay here for a year?
Just when Xiao Xiaoxiao was sighing and thinking again, the people who stayed in place came over. hugged Shen one by one, and then pulled the old man who was in charge of food distribution for a long time, and finally a group of primitive people gathered around and muttered. At this moment, Xiao Xiaoxiao is an extraordinary, she can't understand. Originally, she could communicate with a half-understood and even guessed, but now she can only hear a few familiar words coming out from time to time, and the rest are all blank, it seems that her level is limited to them concentrating on speaking with her alone and speaking slowly.
The smooth communication with Shen is also because of familiarity, and every time she can find some connections and patterns from his body movements, eye gestures, and then know what he wants to express, it is not her self-conceived language talent at all. Alas~ Mournful and bored, find Chan to go with you...... Turning his head and looking ahead, the children were dancing in circles around the mammoths, shouting invigorating trumpets.
Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was one step slower, could only smile awkwardly and politely, smiling as he watched the primitive children get close to the mammoth, kneading, pulling, and biting the ...... Xiao Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that his gums were sour, raised his hand to support his cheeks, and looked at the group of tyrannical little guys with envy. Later, we must let Shen find a way to change the mammoth's tusks back, even if he can only sharpen a kitchen knife, it is not easy to hunt one in this era of mammoths, not to mention that the tusks are still fresh.
I don't know if the desire in Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart radiated too widely, interfering with the brainwaves of the people around him, and the primitive people who gathered to discuss stopped the discussion, and seemed to unify their opinions at once. Judging from the situation on the spot, they probably chose a more difficult transportation method, not to break the mammoth into pieces, but to bring it back whole, although this saves the time of cutting and prevents the spread of bloody gas to attract other beasts.
But...... Can you lift it?
Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at the group of tired and panting primitives, and secretly said sure enough! In addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, the people who came came together and squeezed the mammoths one after another, lifting their legs, lifting their stomachs, raising their noses, lifting their chins, and lifting their necks...... And children who are not afraid of death stand on the back of a mammoth and shout cheers? What an eye-opener!
However, it is all useless. Xiao Xiaoxiao snorted sleepily and was weak
Glancing at the slowly rising sun, they walked up and interrupted their endless cycle of 'working together, failing, swapping places, working together, failing again, swapping positions again'. Then he pulled Shen together and explained to the person in command, "I have a way to get the mammoth back, it can save effort and faster, you have to do what I say, agree?" ”
The man looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao suspiciously and in surprise, a little unconvinced, and the primitive people he heard around him also had the same expression, and then began to tell and discuss back and forth. In the end, everyone stared expectantly and vigilantly at Xiao Xiaoxiao, Shen and the conductor's blazing, what kind of gaze was that, hoping so but hard to believe, desperate to get an affirmative, uh or no, answer.
The three people in the center of the focus felt pressure, Xiao Xiaoxiao bit her lip a little fearfully, thinking that if there was any accident in the middle and the communication was not timely, would she be demolished alive? Shen puffed up his chest very blindly and confidently, and secretly said that Xiao Xiao was really smart, and he thought of a way so quickly, but the people in the clan didn't seem to be very willing, they didn't know how smart they were, but I knew that I had to convey it to them.
Wiping her sweat from side to side, silently don't hesitate, don't hesitate, oh her head hurts, why should she answer her words, how can she move a mammoth if she is so weak, but she is also kind...... Chi is still immersed in how to refuse, whether to refuse, whether to refuse, whether to refuse! At that time, the quick-tempered Feng couldn't wait, so he inserted directly into the middle of the three of them and asked, "Xiao Ah Hao, can you really get the mammoth back to the tribe?" ”
Xiao Xiaoxiao is also a little hesitant now, she blindly interfered in the affairs of the primitive human race when she first arrived, and it was okay to do it, but if it was messed up, did she still have the face to wait? If this is a matter of two people, she can't make an opinion, if it doesn't work, it won't work, but a whole tribe, even if she guarantees that the method is feasible, it can't guarantee that the person who executes it is reliable, and the locals' own affairs should still be done according to their own ideas.
At present, it is best for her not to do anything to change the development of history, and even if she does, she will wait until she is familiar with this place for a while. Well, now it's time for them to think they've just misheard. Just when Xiao Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to retract his previous impulsive words, Shen, who had been waiting for a conversation opportunity for a long time, stood out, and hit it off with Feng, and the two of them chattered and competed for the speed of speech, and quickly settled the matter.
Shen was very satisfied, Feng was also satisfied, and both of them returned to their respective groups with the words 'ask for praise' written on their faces. Xiao Xiaoxiao was very worried, and Chi was also very worried, especially when they looked at Shen and Feng weakly, the two of them patted their chests and said, "No problem, it's okay, I'm here, don't worry." Nima, I'm even more worried, how developed the limbs of these two children are, how simple their minds are.
Xiao Xiaoxiao and Chi dragged their heavy bodies and heavy hearts, came to the mammoth, listlessly investigated the scene, and after preparing for the worst, they ordered the people in the tribe to take action, and the time was not early. The men went to move the stones, the women went to cut the trees, the children and the old people went to cut the vines, and after Xiao Xiaoxiao told them all the requirements, a group of people
And they scattered. In order to prevent accidents, half of the tool-finding hunting team stayed behind this time, and most of the half who went were in the stone-moving group and a few were in the vine-cutting group.
It is on the outskirts of the woods, and you can vaguely see the busy figures of primitive women, flashing in the back. The hunting team left behind can also take turns to help, and it is convenient to be close to something to say hello. Small trunks with the thickness of a wrist were pulled over and quickly piled up on the ground, and the wood of this size was just right for them to cut, leaving the few pieces of wood with a thick waist to be the responsibility of the hunting party.
And Shen, Chi, and Feng are responsible for leading the sick and disabled with bad legs and feet, cutting the wood into the shape that Xiao Xiaoxiao needs, simply scraping the branches and leaves, and digging a small pit and a long hole. The stone movers have been sent back several times, and they are still trimming the main body of the cart - fresh wood, and then the vines are cut back, their work is simple, all the vines are prepared at one time, and there is no need for secondary processing.
So they all threw themselves into the team of scraping and digging wood, and the increase in the number of people made the process of this work a lot faster. Then it was still in the back and forth of the stone movers, who were attentive and selfless in their carpenter's work, and with the arrival of the last batch of timber, the tree cutting team also completed the work. With the return of spare manpower and the small tree trunks that were previously trimmed, Xiao Xiaoxiao began to take wood-based board vehicles.
Insert one end of the small trunk into it one by one according to the hole in the thick trunk, and then break into the broken wood chips to fix it strongly, and the other end is also inserted and fixed. Then, like weaving a fishing net, take a new small trunk, yard it in the opposite direction into the newly fixed small trunk, and cross it up and down. After Xiao Xiaoxiao demonstrated, he began to guide them step by step, and the pace was so slow that there would be no mistakes at all.
Slow work out of fine work, and finally the whole car plate is tight and tight. After all the members of the stone-moving team came back, they looked left and right around what they had done, and jumped on it and sat down, muttering their opinions. Some people think it's a sturdier roof, some people think it's a bed to sleep on, some people think it's a table for eating, and they are quick to ask how to do it, and they are ready to get one for their own home.
Xiao Xiaoxiao clapped his hands and interrupted everyone's enthusiasm, and said loudly: "Go back and teach you, go back and teach, when you can do this, you can take it as anything you want, now get busy!" Hurry up and get the mammoth back to the tribe, it's not too early, come, you still carry the stones, and I'll teach you how to put the mammoth up. Xiao Xiaoxiao came to the mammoth with the stone-moving group, pointed to three or four people to hold the stone to prepare, and pointed to six or seven people to ask them to lift the mammoth's leg slightly.
The seven men lifted the mammoth leg up with all their might, and after the mammoth leg was some distance from the ground, the rest of the people hurried to send the stones that could be stuffed over. After a perfect collaboration, move on to the next leg, and then the neck, chin, and belly come one by one, and after one turn, the second round begins. This time, the stone is added to the top of the mat, or it is divided into two sets, and the pad is carried while the pad is raised.
After each addition of stones, the two groups are swapped to balance physical strength and recovery
Space. This work that relies purely on brute force is impressive, and Xiao Xiaoxiao doesn't need to bother at all, the tacit understanding between them is enough, and the more technical ones on the other side need to keep an eye on it at all times. Soon, the second deck was completed, and at the same time, the people who had been working on the wood in silence had finished their burrowing and could start assembling the pallet truck.
Ten thick trunks with the heart of the tree dug through are pushed into the open space and arranged neatly, and these thick trunks are only half the length of the small trunks. Then Xiao Xiaoxiao very easily put the selected small trunks through the ten thick trunks, and kept the length of the small trunks the same, and finally beckoned Shen and Feng to insert the two sides of the small trunks into the four trunks that were relatively long, not thick and thin.
This medium-thick trunk has five holes of the same size dug in the skin on one side, which is suitable for small trunk insertion, and after the five trunks are inserted, they are sequentially driven into the remaining gaps of the holes to fix and stagnate. After inserting and fixing, the two board cars are completed, and the last step is to tie the two car boards that were braided earlier with vines to the two frames equipped with wheels.
The completion is imminent, full of a sense of accomplishment comes to her face, Xiao Xiaoxiao excitedly commanded Shen and Feng to lift the car board, which will be the world's first board car, from her hand, uh her mouth. After they carefully put the car plate on the frame, Xiao Xiaoxiao immediately beckoned Can and Blazing to take the vines, and tied the medium-thick tree trunks on the upper and lower sides together.
Xiao Xiaoxiao's soft and untight binding method was disgusted by the two, and they were stopped just after tying it at the beginning, and then rushed to the side to watch, and they re-tied. The rest of the people who understood immediately gathered around the other side, the other car, and tied them up with vines, Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was squeezed behind, rubbed her hands awkwardly, and her eyes looked around without any loss, and suddenly, a huge mammoth standing tall above met her eyes.
Xiao Xiaoxiao wanted to cry without tears, crying and laughing at the group of simple stone-moving ancients, too real big brother! We can stop, it doesn't need to be that high, really, we have to tear it down in a while...... So she was just too busy and didn't pay attention in time for a while, so she gave such a big surprise? Xiao Xiaoxiao trotted over and said with a stiff smile: "The cushion is so high, it's enough, everyone has worked hard." "It's almost time to reach the altar.
When they heard this, they immediately threw down the stones, and those who leaned against the trees and those who lay on the ground were almost paralyzed from exhaustion. Seeing this, Xiao Xiaoxiao hurriedly called Lai Chan and asked her to take the children to fetch some water for everyone to drink, they had been busy all morning, and now was the time when the sun was at its strongest. Chan jumped and led the Crusaders away, and came back about a quarter of an hour later, bringing back not only water but also a pile of tender fruit.
Everyone drank water and ate the fruit, and after driving away the thirst, they suddenly felt hungry, and for a while, the stomach screams sounded one after another, Xiao Xiaoxiao touched his stomach, cheered up, and beckoned everyone: "We will go back to the tribe now." With that, he pulled up a cart and pushed it under the mammoth. When the primitive people saw her move, their eyes lit up, and Feng immediately pushed another cart over, and the two carts were connected together to place the mammoth.
All
Be careful to remove the stones that hold the mammoth piece by piece, see it approach the height of the cart, reach the cart, press onto the cart, and push it away. The people of the Flame Mountain tribe still surrounded the mammoth as they had done at the beginning, but this time, instead of lifting the mammoth's body, they pushed the cart. Naturally, it will not be like at the beginning, barely lifting it but not carrying it away, but it can really be brought home.
Chan Nian whispered in Xiao Xiaoxiao's ear, this mammoth is huge and fat, pickled, enough for their entire tribe to eat for a month. Shen also sighed on the side that the cold winter was coming, and they worked hard for the rest of the month, thinking that they could have a good winter this year. Xiao Xiaoxiao looked up at the happy faces in front of her, they were now full of kind recognition for her, it turned out that the initial happiness and satisfaction were so simple.
Xiao Xiaoxiao suddenly pulled up Chan and ran forward, "Let's go first, go pick fruits, pick more of the kind of sour fruits you gave me, and then we'll use it to dip the barbecue ......"
