【046】The board car that is about to be completed
"We're back!" Shao Hao threw the prey in his hand to the ground, and laughed loudly at the clansmen with his arms raised.
A few children who looked to be five or six years old at most ran to Shao Hao's side, raised their heads and asked in a milky voice: "Shao Hao, why did you come back so late, everyone is worried about you." ”
Shao Hao squatted down and touched the heads of these little guys with his calloused big hands: "Because we went hunting in Montenegro, it is far away from the tribe, so it will be too late to come back." ”
"It's Montenegro!" The children showed surprised expressions on their faces: "My father said that it is dangerous over there, there are man-eating beasts everywhere, and even fierce beasts will go to Montenegro to hunt." ”
"That's what my grandmother said, she said that Montenegro is so high that people in the past can't see the top of the mountain. ”
"That's my father, who has not only seen the top of the mountain, but has also reached the top of the mountain!" said a little boy with his chest held out, and two snots slipped out of his little nostrils until they were about to run into his mouth, and the child sucked them back hard.
"Who's your father?" asked a girl curiously.
"I don't know. The boy stretched out his hand to wipe away the remaining snot from his own person: "My mother said that he still stayed in Montenegro and did not come back, and when I grow up to be a warrior, I can go to Montenegro to bring his body back." ”
"Then I will go with you then, and we will bring back your father's body together. The female doll said seriously with a small face.
"Hmm. ”
Looking at the communication between the two children, Shao Hao didn't speak, just touched the boy's head with a bitter smile, no one can stay on the Black Mountain forever, unless it is a corpse. Shao Hao clearly remembered that the little boy's father was called Bahu, a first-class soldier in the third team, and three years ago, the third team planned to go out to explore the whole picture of Montenegro and see what kind of scenery the top of the mountain was.
As a result, only three of the eight clansmen who went out managed to come back alive in the end, and the bones of the other five clansmen were left forever on the black mountain, including the father of the boy in front of him.
Shen Nong led two white cows, and after the clansmen who came up found the white cows on their backs, they immediately moved them off the back of the cows, and a middle-aged woman walked up to Shi Li, looked at his left arm with concern and said, "Why is it injured like this." ”
Before she could finish speaking, the woman's eyes turned red.
"It's okay, I'm not still alive. Shi Li waved his right arm confidently and said very indifferently.
For those who are willing to join the hunting party, life and death have long been forgotten and neglected, because you never know what kind of danger will hide around you while hunting, and this danger may take your life in an instant.
"But your hand ......" The woman couldn't help but touch Shi Li's broken arm, looking like she was afraid that he would hurt.
"I won't be able to hunt anymore, so I can stay in the tribe more with you and the children. Shi Li said with a smile.
Because of the weakness of Chi's body, if there was no one to help support his body, he would not be able to stand on his own strength at all, but fortunately, two middle-aged men and women walked to Chi's side, and one of them supported Chi on one side, so that he would not fall to the ground.
Seeing these two people, Chi suddenly showed a rare well-behaved expression on his face, and shouted softly in embarrassment: "Father, Mother." ”
"How did you get this way? Did you eat outside?" the middle-aged man asked with a serious expression.
"Nope. Chiyou shook his head helplessly.
"The kids are like this, and you're still asking over there. The middle-aged woman said anxiously, and was about to help Chi to the cave, intending to let him rest.
Almost every member of the hunting team was surrounded by a few people who cared about them, but Shen Nong's side was empty and a little lonely.
"Moo!" The little white cow may have seen so many people for the first time, and he was a little scared, so he couldn't help but scream, and the bull head swayed from side to side in panic, and he didn't know what to do.
Shen Nong reached out and gently stroked the short hair on the top of its head to show comfort, and soon the little white cow quieted down, standing obediently beside Shen Nong, bowing his head and eating the grass on the ground.
"What a foodie. Shen Nong said speechlessly, obviously he was still scared in the last second, but he ate grass calmly and leisurely this second, and there is no one with this psychological quality.
Just as the tribesmen warmly welcomed the returning hunting team, the bear sickle and the peck bone also came out of the big cave late Shanshan, and when they saw Shen Nong standing in place unharmed, their hearts were greatly relieved.
"It's good that nothing happens, it's good that nothing happens. Xiong Yao couldn't help but say in his heart, only he knew how tormented he was last night, and until dawn, all he had in his mind was 'I hope Shen Nong will return safely'. This will see that Shen Nong is really standing in front of him safely and soundly, and Xiong Sickle can be regarded as completely letting go of the boulder in his heart.
"Wu!" Peck Bone quickly ran to Shen Nong, and said happily, "You are finally back." ”
"Lead these two cows to a safe place and tie them tightly, so that they don't escape. Shen Nong directly handed the beast tendon in his hand to the peck, and walked towards the big cave by himself, a day has passed, he wants to see how the tasks assigned by Cang, Xuan Jia and others have been completed.
Shen Nong passed by Xiong Yao's side, and the unsmiling chief only nodded symbolically, not even saying a word, and there was no trace of his concern for Shen Nong.
"Thank you for not agreeing to let me go out hunting with the hunting team, and for sending Chi over to protect me. Shen Nong lightly hammered his fist on Xiong Sickle's arm, and walked into the big cave.
Xiong Yao still didn't speak, just glanced back at Shen Nong's back, and then walked towards Shao Hao, he had to know what happened yesterday and why the hunting team didn't return overnight.
......
The big cave is opaque, all the light sources come from the blazing ancestral fire in the depths of the cave, when Shen Nong found Cang and the others, they were sitting next to the ancestral fire, carefully polishing the things in their hands.
I saw that between the warehouse and the armor, there was a rectangular wooden board with two handles, and the two of them each held a wooden wheel about the size of a wellhead in their arms, this wooden wheel was very rough, the shape was between a circle and an ellipse, and in the center of the wooden wheel, there was also a round hole with the thickness of a wrist, which was the prototype of the wheel of the board car.
Obviously, Cang and Guanjia have already made the board car to the last step, as long as the two wooden wheels can be planed with a more circular arc, they can be officially installed on the board car for use.
Looking at the torso of the owner of this rough but quite formed board, Shen Nong nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's done well." ”
Because they were serious and completely immersed in their work, the four people of Cang, Guanjia, Pan, and Beibang found Shen Nong's figure at this time, and hurriedly got up and said, "Wu, you are here." ”
"How's it going, is there a finished product to show?" Shen Nong asked with a smile.
Cang and Xuan Jia glanced at each other, then walked to the wooden rectangular board on the ground together, lifted the square board together, and then used the round hole in the center of the wooden wheel in his arms to aim at a horizontal wooden cylinder under the square board.
The two wooden wheels were immediately connected to the rectangular board, and a rickshaw was born.
Just because the two wooden wheels are of different sizes and the shape is not very round, this board car will keep swinging back and forth in the posture of left high and right low, left low and right high when moving, which looks very funny and obviously cannot be used as a qualified carrying board truck. If you stack the goods on top of this, you can't walk a few dozen steps to shake off everything on it.
Cang and Xuan Jia looked at Shen Nong with some embarrassment, the two of them also knew in their hearts that they had not completely done a good job of the board car, but it was too difficult to make two wooden wheels with the exact shape by hand, and they had no way to do it at all.
This is no longer a relationship between whether the attitude is serious or not, and whether the craftsmanship is good or not, but the technology of this era restricts their play.
Fortunately, Shen Nong also knows the difficulty of drawing a circle by hand, it is difficult for ordinary people to sketch a perfect circle without the help of tools, and Cang and Xuan Armor are completely instinctively making the perfect wooden wheel that Shen Nong requires.
But it's hard to cut out the circle with one knife, because if you cut two knives here, maybe for a while you will think it looks round, but when you turn the wooden wheel to the other side, you will find that the wooden wheel is still oval, and it has not changed shape at all.
"You've done a good job, I'm going to teach you a quick way to draw a circle, and you'll learn it for me, and then I'll use this method to draw a circle directly on the wood, and then cut down the whole circle. Shen Nong bent down and said.
I saw him pick up two relatively straight branches, one long and one short, from the ground, and then held one end of the two branches in his hand, and the other end was separated at 90 degrees.
The shorter branch was directly pushed straight to the ground by Shen Nong, and then Shen Nong pressed the longer branch to the ground and stroked as he walked, and when he finished a circle around the short branch, the long branch had already drawn a perfect circle on the ground full of sand.
Shen Nong immediately threw the two branches to the side, pointed to the circle on the ground and said, "Do you see clearly? ”
Kura and Armor looked at the circles on the ground in shock, if they could draw such circles on a single piece of wood, then they could easily make two wooden wheels with the exact same shape.
"Wu, this, why is this possible? I mean, why can two branches ......" Cang kept gesturing in the air, as if trying to express his doubts through this action.
For them, this new thing is a bit difficult to digest for a while.
"Don't think about it so much, you just need to know that the tool made from these two branches is called a compass. Shen Nong was not interested in explaining to Cang why two ordinary branches could draw such a perfect circle, you must know that this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
