Hua Bonus couldn't tell when the cold season would come, Lin Yan checked, and since the last cold season, two hundred and fifty-one days have passed.
It turns out that so many days have passed.
It has long been rumored in the tribe that the cold season is coming, but it hasn't come after seventy or eighty days, and Lin Yan has always felt that it is still early.
She thought about it, and although people were busy making other things, they didn't forget to store meat, and they always had air-dried strips of meat, and later smoked meat.
It turned out that I had been preparing for a long time. This is their experience and have been busy stocking up on food for the cold season.
The cold season was coming, and she suddenly felt that there was still a lot to do.
Lin Yan didn't go out, thinking seriously about what he should be prepared to do when the cold season is coming.
Hua Hong quickly finished packing up and went to find the grass branches, letting Lao Hei look at Lin Yan.
Lao Hei had just eaten and was about to go to pottery, so he happened to take Lin Yan with him.
"Lao Hei, is the cold season really coming?"
Lao Hei thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it's coming soon." ”
"How many days are left?"
"It's hard to say." Although Lao Hei can count now and knows how to count days, he doesn't have this concept at all, and he doesn't know how many days the cold season will come.
Lin Yan was silent, is it really going to be the cold season again?
These days are always the hot season, and although the temperature is high, it doesn't matter what you do. But the cold season is different, in order to resist the cold, people are nested in the cave and do not come out.
The last cold season lasted a total of 90 days, and this time it is estimated to be about the same.
It's a waste to do nothing for so many days. You'll have to find something to do.
After having a fire, people discovered the wonderful use of fire, and they all baked the cave they lived in with fire, so that it was no longer damp, and after baking it with fireworks, there were fewer insects and ants.
The ashes of the burned plants and trees are sprinkled in the cave, which can prevent moisture and insects. When it is covered with straw mats, the walls are also covered with straw mats.
It's okay to live in a cave now, but you have to find a way to light a fire in the cave to survive the cold season.
This is the first thing to do, as long as there is a fire, and there is pottery, and it is also solved to eat hot soup and drink hot water. Prepare more firewood.
Thinking about the mess in his mind, Lin Yan didn't have the energy to do anything this day.
When she went back, Lao Hei looked at her worriedly, "What's wrong with you, what's the matter?" ”
"I'm afraid it's too cold in the cold season."
"What are you afraid of, with fire, it is not difficult to survive the cold season." Lao Hei is still very optimistic, "In the past, when there was no fire, I could get through it, but now I don't need to worry." ”
Lin Yan nodded, "I just can't come out." ”
"Endure it and it's over. It's too cold outside in the cold season, so don't think about coming out, just stay in the cave. ”
In the afternoon, Hua Hong came back, holding a pile of skins and moving non-stop, and after a while, he made a set of clothes for Lin Yan.
The upper body is a round-necked shirt with sleeves, and the lower body is paired with pants, which is the style that Lin Yan told Caozhi.
tried it on his body, and Lin Yan praised: "Auntie, your craftsmanship is really good, and your clothes are also warm." I'll make you a dress too. ”
"Okay, okay, A-Niang will do it tomorrow." The bonus is very satisfied, it is much better to wear clothes than to wrap in skin, and there are no restrictions on physical activity and not afraid of the cold.
"The tribe is making clothes, and there is not enough skin. The hunting party has gone out to hunt pikas, and the harvest is good. ”
"There's not enough leather, isn't there still sackcloth?"
"It's okay to wear it in the hot season, but not in the cold season. It is not thick and warm without skin, and the linen cloth is not windproof, so it is useless. ”
Lin Yan hadn't thought about these yet, the current linen cloth was still very rough, it really couldn't block the wind, and it could cover up the ugliness when you wore it. She said, "It would be better if you put sackcloth in the skin, just like me." ”
When she tried on clothes just now, she didn't take off the burlap gown inside, and put it directly on it.
Bonus looked at it and thought it was okay.
I'm going to make a few more linen clothes to wear inside, the leather is not easy to clean, and the linen clothes are easy to clean.
"A-Niang, there are twelve pikas raised at home, is it enough to eat in the cold season?"
"It's not enough, and there are bacon and jerky, which should be enough. A-Niang went hunting again and stocked up on more meat. Just be at home. ”
"A-Niang, I still have to prepare firewood and hay for pikas, there are many things."
As soon as Lin Yan said this, Hua Bonus remembered that the cold season was coming, and he had to reserve some hay for the pika, otherwise he would not have anything to eat.
"I'm not busy making clothes, just wear some of them, A-Niang will go get some grass first." Hua Hong said and hurriedly left with the leaf.
Mu Shi was weaving baskets while taking care of Lin Yan and Ye Ya. He was very good at weaving baskets, and some people exchanged things with him.
He seems to have found a way to survive, and he has worked weaving baskets.
Nowadays, there are more novelties, and the people of the tribe have begun to barter, so that many old and infirm people have a chance to live.
As long as you are not lazy, willing to work hard, and master a skill, you can exchange for food.
The division of labor began to appear in the tribe, and it was no longer the same as before, and it was difficult for everyone except the strong to live.
Lin Yan also discovered this phenomenon, she thought it was very good, and it would get better and better in the future.
The tribe of nearly 10,000 people will no longer have a single demand, and will naturally divide into various people. This is an inevitable process of group development and growth.
Mu Shi was not in good health, and he couldn't do anything before, but now he is busy weaving baskets, kneading hemp ropes, and weaving hemp nets every day, and other people in the tribe come to him to change when they need it.
Lao Hei is a cripple, thin and weak, and it is very difficult to live alone. Now he is very experienced in pottery firing, and he is good at researching, and he has fired a variety of pottery, which is in short supply.
There are many people like them, who used to be able to survive, but now they can live with their abilities.
There is hope for the future, and the work is more energetic.
Ye Ya whispered to Lin Yan: "My dad is busy now, and he doesn't have time to take us out to play." ”
Lin Yan glanced at Mu Shi, who was weaving the basket, nodded, and sighed: "I really want to grow up quickly." ”
I looked down at my five-short figure, and I was even more sad. She wants to grow up quickly, get out of here, find more resources, and improve her living conditions.
Ye Ya also sighed, "I also want to grow up and go hunting." Lin Yan, does the world you are talking about really exist? ”
Since Lin Yan said that she didn't want to live anymore, she complained to herself, and the smart children knew that she had seen the world and knew everything.
The world they said to her was very longing, and they wanted to see that kind of world.
Ye Ya was no exception, he often followed Lin Yan's ass and asked these questions.
Lin Yan nodded affirmatively, "Existence, although it is incredible, is true, it is a world built by human beings over many years. ”
"Let's build a world like that, okay?" Ye Ya starry looked at Lin Yan, he wanted to see that kind of world.
Lin Yan looked at the simple living conditions in front of her, she also wanted that kind of world, but she could only think about it.
There is no infrastructure, nothing is lacking, and what is used to create a new world.
But looking at Ye Ya's sparkling eyes, she nodded ghostly and said firmly, "Okay, let's create a new world together." ”
Such bold words, Lin Yan knew that it was difficult, but Ye Ya didn't know, he smiled happily.
