Chapter Twenty-Six: The Horizontal Knife is Born, and the Novice Protection Period Ends
The blizzard didn't stop for a whole day, and Su Yu could only let everyone cook by themselves in the room.
Fortunately, this problem was also taken into account when building the house before, and a stove was arranged in each house.
It was snowing heavily, and Su Yu had no idea of going out at all.
After a simple meal, Su Yu lay on the bed.
This bed was made by Su Yu to the carpenters in the tribe, and the structural principle was very simple, and the carpenters understood it at once, and it didn't take long to make it.
The body is covered with wolf skin, I have to say, the wolf's fur is really warm, two or three wolf skins sewn together is a quilt.
The cold of winter and the warmth of the quilt made Su Yu sleep until dawn.
In the morning, the snow stopped.
Su Yu pushed open the door with difficulty, and the snow outside was a meter deep, and the entire street was occupied by snow.
The roof was also covered in snow, and the gray and black tiles were not visible.
"Let's go out together and clear the snow."
This snow is very disruptive to the travel of the tribesmen, and it is also a safety hazard. If we keep piling it up, we might even have to go out tomorrow.
Especially on the roof, if the roof collapses, I'm afraid that no one will be lost.
"There are also cattle pens and stables that need to be cleaned up as well."
The cattle pens and stables were not as sturdy as the tribal houses, and their roofs were made of planks and hay.
If the horse shed and cattle pen collapsed, it would be a heavy loss, and Su Yu couldn't afford such a loss.
The cattle pens and stables were sealed on all sides, with walls made of cobblestones and mud. Su Yu didn't know if these cows and horses were frost-resistant, but he still tried his best to provide them with a better place to stay in the cold.
The cattle pen and the stables were on the other side of the river, and the blacksmith shop was there. Now that the river was frozen, Su Yu felt that he could take advantage of this time to move the cattle and horses over.
The original adobe house could be converted into a cattle pen and horse shed.
Just do it, Su Yu asked people to clear a way, and then went to renovate the adobe house.
The earthen houses over there were enclosed in a circle, and the earthen walls built between the houses were just enough to keep the animals from entering and preventing them from escaping.
After instructing these things, Su Yu went to the blacksmith shop to have a look.
In the blacksmith's shop, the cycad and the other two blacksmiths, as well as the apprentices, were still working.
In such a cold weather, it was still hot inside, as if the cold outside had nothing to do with them.
Coal from the tribe was given priority to the blacksmiths, followed by the brick and earthen kilns. As for the daily fire heating of the tribe, it is all made of firewood.
When coal is burned, it produces a lot of toxic gases, which can be fatal if inhaled.
Su Yu didn't dare to burn coal in the house, for fear that he would be poisoned unknowingly in the middle of the night.
You don't need coal for cooking and heating, and it's too wasteful and unsafe.
And now there are a lot of wood scraps and sawdust left over from building houses in the tribe, which are good firewood for cooking and heating.
"Patriarch, the Tang knife has been created." When Su Tie saw Su Yu, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he pulled Su Yu to look at the Tang knife he had made last night.
"There are four kinds of Tang knives, namely the instrument knife, the barrier knife, the horizontal knife, and the Mo knife. Each one has different characteristics, different functions, and different production difficulties. Now my level is not enough, so I can only build a practical and not too difficult horizontal knife first. ”
The horizontal knife that caught Su Yu's eyes was about one meter long, and the blade was about half a finger long.
"Patriarch, I also found a carpenter from the tribe to make a scabbard." Cycad brought a scabbard from the side, which was made of wood.
The horizontal knife is a straight knife, so the scabbard is not difficult to make. It's a pity that the scabbard is made of logs, and it doesn't look very good. However, apart from the appearance, I can't find anything wrong with it, and it's very practical.
Su Yu picked it up and waved it, it was not very heavy, about two catties, it was very easy to hold, Su Yu liked it very much.
Without saying a word, he decided to use it as his own weapon, not only because it was easy to use, but mainly because this was the first Tang knife in the tribe, which was very commemorative, and Su Yu wanted to collect it.
"Cycad, I want this horizontal knife, it is the tribe's first elite weapon, I will treat it well."
This knife was made of cycads, Su Yu still needs to ask him if he wants to, this is a respect for him, after all, Su Yu still has to rely on him to continue to build weapons.
"Patriarch, you can take it if you want, the patriarch likes the weapon I built, this is a recognition of me, it is my honor." Su Tie smiled innocently.
"Good!"
Su Yu really likes this knife, and he is looking forward to Su Tie being able to build all four Tang knives, and he wants to collect them one by one.
"Cycad, you must call me after the last three are built, I want to collect them all."
Su Yu is not polite, and directly makes an appointment with Cycad.
Su Yu walked out of the blacksmith shop with the horizontal knife, ready to show the clansmen the power of the horizontal knife.
When the clansmen saw the horizontal knife in Su Yu's hand, they were all very curious. Su Xun came up directly and expressed his curiosity.
"Patriarch, is this Tang Dao?"
Su Xun has envied Su Yun's iron spear for a long time, he is not used to using guns, but he likes to chop, but the iron axe is too bulky and not suitable for him at all. After seeing this Tang knife, he was sure in his heart that this was the most suitable weapon for him.
"This Tang knife is a horizontal knife,...... Su Yu introduced them.
Then have someone prepare a hay man to test.
Su Yu held the Tang knife with both hands and made a slashing gesture.
With a bang, the hayman was cut in half, and even the supporting stick was cut off, and the whole process was extremely smooth.
Su Xun was stunned, looking at the horizontal knife, his heart kept pounding, his heart was moved, he was very excited.
"Clan, patriarch, can you give me the next horizontal knife?" He stuttered a little excitedly, which was hard not to be excited, and the horizontal knife was full of attraction to him.
"Okay, don't worry, the next horizontal knife will definitely be given to you first." Su Yu said with a smile.
Putting the knife back into its scabbard, Su Yu asked them to clean it up.
The clansmen have seen the power of the horizontal knife, and they are all amazed, especially the tribe is a warrior, this is simply their dream knife, with this weapon, whether it is hunting or fighting with people from other tribes, isn't it all chopping melons and vegetables?
"Okay, okay, everyone disperse, there will definitely be one for every warrior behind this weapon, don't worry." Su Yu hurriedly reassured the warriors of the tribe that they didn't have to worry all the time.
……
It's only been two days without snow, and news has come back from the greedy wolf camp that everything is fine. With Su Yun sitting over there, Su Yu was also relieved, after all, his talent was not an ornament, he was very smart, and it was more than enough to manage a camp.
"Players, the three-month newbie protection period is over, and from this moment on, players can spend civilization points to engage in invasion wars, and victory in attack or defense against invasion can be rewarded for victory in battle."
A system voice sounded in Su Yu's head.
The novice protection period ended, Su Yu was stunned, and three months had passed unconsciously.
Player War?
