Chapter 6: The Wooden Fence Stops the Beast
The tribe still lives in the cave, but as the range of activities grows, the cave is gradually becoming a little insufficient, and the tribe has suffered a big loss due to the attack of the beasts, and it seems that the defense facilities still have to be put on the agenda.
It's not too difficult to make a fence, it's just a matter of collecting some wood and sticking it around.
There is a vast forest around the cave, which is still very easy to reach.
It just so happened that Song Xuan also disliked that the square at the entrance of the cave was smaller, so he simply started construction this time.
The small branches were easy to cut with a stone axe, but cutting the trees was a bit insufficient, and the slightly thicker trees here couldn't be held by anyone, and Song Xuan didn't come up with any good way.
But soon, Teng Snake's group of savages taught Song Xuan a lesson.
"Hey...... Divine messenger, it's not pleasant to look at, or I will be able to burn this tree down in half a day! ”
Looking at Song Xuan, who was a little stunned, Shi Meng finally felt that he was useful.
After knowing that Song Xuan was worried about cutting down the tree, Shi Meng took action without saying much.
I saw several people cooperating, cutting out several gaps around a tree, picking up the burning charcoal from the fire, mixed with the pine resin that usually fuels the fire, and stuffing it into the gaps.
At the same time, he kept blowing on the gap, and after a while, the gap had expanded by a circle, and several people were really fast when they cooperated.
Safety is the top priority in the tribe now, after all, if you can't protect it, no matter how much you hunt and catch more fish, you will only make a wedding dress for someone else in the end.
So except for a few children who were sent out to fish, everyone else was busy burning trees and cutting branches.
It is not easy to burn a big tree, and dozens of people can only get it with the cooperation, so it must not be wasted, from the trunk to the leaves, it can be used.
The thick trunk was kept for the tribe to build a house in the future, and although the tribe can't spare it now, everyone misses the days when they used to live in the house.
Warm and comfortable, and a lot of privacy, unlike now, as long as the people are in order, at night, after the cave, the music of life begins to play, one after another, which greatly affects sleep.
After the thinner branches were cut off, they were used to make fences, and in order to ensure that they were strong enough, the part nailed into the soil was also thirty or forty centimeters long, and many stones were moved from the ground to support it.
"Chief...... See! …… Fish! ”
Seeing the children moving the fish back to the tribe one by one obviously greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Shi Meng and the others, and their movements were sped up a lot.
After three days of busy work, the fence was completed, and the population of the tribe was not large, so the area of the circle was not too large, about fifty or sixty meters long, and thirty or forty meters wide, which was almost enough even if a house needed to be built later.
Probably out of hatred for the beast stealing food, Shi Meng also arranged a lot of traps around after completion, such as wooden thorns, traps, lassoes, etc., although the power may not be enough, but they can't be too easy to come later.
For them, it is easy to arrange these traps, and usually hunting will also arrange some on the path of wild beasts.
Except for being a little cumbersome to set up, the harvest is still okay, and it can basically be similar to direct hunting.
These traps also played a big role in the back, and the day after the traps were arranged, a few of them were triggered, but unfortunately the lasso was bitten off, leaving only a place of hair, and it was thought that after the trap was set, it was rescued again.
At this time, the hunting party was full of energy, as if they wanted to use what they had learned all their life.
"Oracle...... This, good! ”
“……%…… ¥&%”
Seeing that everyone was very confident in their traps, Song Xuan was relieved, and the things needed to arrange the traps were all around, and this kind of technical work could only be handed over to them.
After a few days of recuperation, the stone finally passed the dangerous period, except that he could not move, but he was no different from ordinary people, just lying in the tribe eating and drinking for nothing, which made him feel a little ashamed.
Fortunately, although everyone is in the tribe, the harvest is not a lot, and the comfort in turn makes the stone rest assured that he is recuperating from his injuries.
Although they haven't been here since the last beast attack, the fence still gives everyone a great sense of security.
Feeling a great threat, the fence is now stronger than in the previous tribe, and even an adult should not be easily kicked down.
After finishing the construction of the tribe, Shi Meng led the hunting team into the vast forest again, but this time there was a clearer direction, mainly aimed at the beasts around the tribe, even if they couldn't hunt all, they had to be driven as far away as possible.
It is still too dangerous to let them be around the tribe, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves is this reason.
In addition to bringing the best weapons in the tribe, I also brought some armor, most of which were sewn from animal skins, and some wood chips were sandwiched in special parts, so that I could still protect myself a little in case of danger.
"Oracle...... This is so inconvenient! ”
"Yes, yes, it's hard to wear!"
But after experiencing the last large-scale beast herd impact, everyone had palpitations, and if a few more people were injured, it would have a great impact on the operation of the tribe, so after learning that the tribe had these things, Song Xuan also asked everyone to wear them.
With the exception of the injured stones, the Horde is now back to its previous state.
Song Xuan didn't help with fishing, nor did he dig up tree roots, but asked about the pottery in the Shiyan tribe among the tribes.
As the chief of the tribe, he is still more aware of these things.
In addition to a bowl and a half jar of pottery, there are only a few pottery pots in the tribe, and neither the quantity nor the quality are enough.
"God...... Divine Messenger, I won't do this."
Faced with Song Xuan's inquiry, Shi Yan could only answer embarrassedly.
Song Xuan scratched his head, also a little embarrassed, although he is a modern person, he knows nothing about the firing of ceramics, although he knows the general direction, but it still takes a lot of effort to make it.
Whether it is the choice of soil, the temperature of firing, or even the construction of the pottery kiln, it is necessary to explore, just when Song Xuan was at a loss, the stone that had been lying down spoke:
"Oracle...... I've seen %...... ¥%……”
It may be that he was nervous, and Song Xuan didn't understand the original language in the back, but fortunately, with Shi Yan's help in translating, he knew that Shi had been in the Wuyu tribe for a period of time before, and intentionally or unintentionally, but he had seen how the Wuyu tribe made pottery.
