In some countryside with large mountains, some valuable medicinal herbs, food, or flowers and vines occasionally grow on the cliffs of the mountains, and some wealthy people especially like to pay money to buy these things from the mountain people in the countryside.

Therefore, for the sake of money, many mountain people will climb down the cliffs at the risk of their lives, and rely on a safety rope tied to their waists and a handmade soft ladder to pick 'treasures' in places where there is no way up and down.

Shen Nong once went to the countryside to study with a senior for a period of time, and it happened that there was a high-risk profession of picking cliff hives with a very ancient heritage.

This kind of professional needs to travel all over the mountains to find beehives, and most of the hives are located between cliffs, and if you want to get there, you must descend hundreds of meters high and stabilize your body by relying on soft ladders on the cliffs of 90 degrees vertical.

Shen Nong felt the novelty at that time, so he learned how to make a soft ladder from a nest picker.

Making a handmade soft ladder is actually very simple, and the materials required are just a long rope and a dozen pieces of wood, but because Shen Nong has no rope at the moment, he can only choose to use animal tendons instead.

The beast tendon in Shen Nong's hand was one finger thick and four meters long, which was cut off from the body of a Titan python by the Huangqiu tribe a long time ago, and its mass was very strong, enough to support the weight of several people at the same time.

Fold the animal tendons in half to ensure that the length of both sides is equal, Shen Nong put the folded animal tendons aside, and took a piece of wood, the animal bone and the stone.

The function of the wood is to be used as a soft ladder stepping place, to dig out a small hole at both ends of the wood that is just enough for the animal tendon to pass through, this small hole can not be too big or too small, the big one is easy to loosen, and the small one can not penetrate the animal tendon.

Shen Nong stretched out his hand and vigorously broke the beast bone in half, took the sharp end and put it on the end of the wood, and began to use the stone in his hand to smash the beast bone hard.

I have to say that the quality of the bones of the hybrid beast is really hard, if Shen Nong is using the bones of ordinary beasts as a chisel cone at this moment, I am afraid that the bones have already been smashed by stones, but the bones of the white-bearded ape are not, they are still standing very strongly, and it didn't take long for Shen Nong to use this broken bone to cut a small hole in the wood, just enough for the beast tendons to pass through.

In the same way, Shen Nong immediately changed his position and cut a hole of the same size in the other end of the wood.

Shen Nong carefully fixed the position, and then tied a dead knot between the two animal tendons under the small hole, and these two dead knots larger than the area of the small hole can be well stuck in the small hole, so as to support the whole wood, so that it will not slide when being trampled on.

Then Shen Nong tied two dead knots on the top of the wood, so that the position of the wood would not be adjusted.

In this way, the first step of the soft ladder has been done, as long as you continue to repeat the steps just now, it is only a matter of time before a manual soft ladder is formed.

......

"The Huangqiu tribe should be in this direction. "In the middle of the forest, a tall man was walking slowly, and from time to time he looked left and right, as if he were looking for something.

Huang is a first-class warrior of the Cangtao tribe, and this ten-part conference is rarely held in the Cangtao tribe, so his chief specially sent him to inform the Huangqiu tribe.

Among the ten, the Huangqiu tribe is the farthest one, and the trees near the tribe are tall and numerous, so it is difficult for people who don't know the way to find it.

Finally, after making the right choice, Huang finally succeeded in finding the location of the Huangqiu tribe, but the wooden houses standing on the grass made him puzzled.

"What is this?" With this thought in mind, Huang walked into the meadow.

"Who!"

The matter of the Black Stone Tribe has not passed for a long time, and the tragic death of the clansmen is still in the hearts of every Huangqiu tribesmen, and the current Huangqiu tribesmen are naturally very vigilant, and at the same time, their attitude towards outsiders is also extremely indifferent.

Several Huangqiu people who saw Huang's figure immediately ran out of their wooden house with bone spears, and shouted at Huang.

"Don't be afraid! I'm not an enemy. Huang hurriedly explained: "I'm from the Cangtao tribe, and I'm here to ask you to participate in the Ten Ministries Conference this time. ”

"The Ten Tribes?" one of the clansmen turned to the person next to him and said, "Go and tell Chief Wu and I'm here to watch him." ”

"Hmm. Immediately, a clansman turned around and ran towards Shen Nong, who was still sitting on the ground making a soft ladder.

"Witch! witch!"

"What about you running the train?" Shen Nong said as he looked up at the clansman who suddenly hurried to his side.

"Wu, there is a man who broke into the tribe, he said that he is from the Cangtao tribe, and asked us to go to the Ten Parts Conference. ”

"Ten Ministers?" Shen Nong immediately turned his head to look at Huang, who was stopped: "After waiting for so long, someone has finally been sent over there to inform him, you let him come over, and I will talk to him." ”

"Yes. The clansman immediately ran back again, and Huang scratched his head with permission, and strode towards Shen Nong.

"First-class warrior Huang. After getting close to Shen Nong's side, Huang said very honestly, and sat beside Shen Nong at the same time, waiting for the other party's opening.

"You said you are from the Cangtao tribe?" Shen Nong asked out loud as he put down the stone bones in his hand.

"Yes. ”

"I didn't expect that this ten-part conference was held in the Cangtao tribe instead. Shen Nong said secretly in his heart.

According to Xiong Yao, all the previous ten conferences were held in the Youniu tribe, but he didn't expect that as soon as it was his turn to lead the team, he immediately changed the organizers.

"Then let's do it, you stay in my tribe for one night, and my clansmen and I will prepare the things that we will bring to the ten assembly to exchange this time, and we will go on the road together tomorrow. Shen Nong said.

"Okay, then I can also wander around your tribe, I have never been to the Huangqiu tribe before. Huang nodded directly in agreement.

When the 'organizer' sends someone out to notify, it means that the conference has begun, so once you receive the notice, you must go on the road immediately, otherwise when you delay it for a long time and rush over, it is very likely that the ten conferences have ended.

According to the rules, the 10-part convention will be held for five consecutive sunrises and sunsets, and when the sun completely sets on the fifth day, the second 10-part conference of the year is officially over.

Every year, the ten tribes, including the Huangqiu tribe, hold two ten-part conferences to trade and communicate with each other and the tribes, the first time before the arrival of winter, and the second time before the arrival of the great drought.

Because Shen Nong hadn't crossed over in the first half of the year, he missed the ten-part conference.
