Even if there was a certain amount of preparation in the early stage, the materials for building the house still brought a lot of difficulties to Teng Snake.

In addition to Song Xuan, there are seventeen adult males in the tribe, and two more females, plus functional houses such as council halls, and they went directly to twenty.

Except for the room in the middle for discussion, there is no need to make it too big, after all, the maximum number of people in each small family is only five.

The number of beams and columns in the middle is almost sufficient, but the amount of wood used to make the walls and roof is too much, and a room needs hundreds, at least, and it has to be as straight as possible.

The twisted wood will only make a bunch of crevices in the end, which will be guilty in the winter.

Dozens of people were busy for two days and got the materials for two or three rooms, the progress was still a little too slow, although the wood was very easy to find, but it was like a beautiful woman stripped naked and stood in front of the eunuch, and she was powerless.

The children couldn't cut the thatch with stone knives quickly, so Song Xuan asked them to dig it out first when he learned about it.

The dry thatch is full of toughness, naturally it is not the stone knife of the Teng snake can be broken, but it is much easier to dig it out, and then transport it back to the tribe after digging it out, spread it on the ground and then cut it with a stone axe, although it is still not easy, but it is still much better than before.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of stone axes chopping trees filled the surroundings.

Cutting trees was boring and laborious, and Song Xuan had been chopping all morning, and now he could only continue to wield the stone axe mechanically.

"Oracle! Oracle! ”

Shi Zhuang walked quickly to Song Xuan's side and shouted in a low voice.

"Ah~ what's the matter?"

Song Xuan replied weakly, it was enough to be tired of cutting trees, but when this group of men came back, they gave birth to a bunch of trivial things, and Song Xuan became numb when they came back and went.

"Divine envoy, Shi Tao found a special tree in the back mountain, all of them are straight, but they are a little difficult to cut, the leader asked me to invite you to take a look!"

Shi Zhuang described it, and Song Xuan was dazzled, but fortunately, Shi Yan was beside Song Xuan, and after a little translation, Song Xuan also understood.

After being roughly clear, Song Xuan followed Shi Zhuang's footsteps to the back mountain, and at the same time, he also roughly understood what Shi Tao had found.

Walking through the dense jungle, a green bamboo forest suddenly appeared in front of Song Xuan's eyes, and as he guessed, this so-called straight tree was indeed bamboo.

Seeing this bamboo forest, Song Xuan's somewhat anxious mood also relaxed, he was worried that the tribe would not have enough time to collect the sticks used for the wooden wall, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all, such a large bamboo forest is enough for several tribes of Teng Snake to build houses.

"Oracle, you're here, how about you take a look at this kind of tree?"

"Yes, yes! The roots are all straight, I have never seen such a beautiful tree! ”

"Hey! It's good, it's just too hard to cut! ”

As soon as they saw Song Xuan coming, the few people here started talking word by word.

Bamboo is easy to use, but the stone axes in your hands are not sharp, and it is even more difficult to cut this kind of bamboo, which is elastic and easy to crack.

Looking at a piece of bamboo that had cracked not far away, I knew why several people looked a little helpless.

Cutting bamboo in the way of cutting ordinary trees can naturally only do half the work, and after a little thought, Song Xuan said:

"Meng, you try it by burning!"

"Alright, oracle!"

Teng Snake's current tools are all made of stone or bone, and the essence of stone knives and stone axes is not much different, and it is the same result to change tools.

It's better to burn it directly like cutting down a big tree, although it looks a little troublesome, but for bamboo, it is much faster, after all, there is open space in the middle, and it is almost the same to burn around it, cut it, and grind it.

Knock knock!

Receiving Song Xuan's guidance, Shi Meng also reacted quickly, ran back to the tribe to get some tinder, and burned it on the spot.

Everyone is already very familiar with this set, and the charcoal fire is piled at the root of the bamboo, and it will not take long to cut it with an axe.

"Oracle! See! Broken! ”

Holding up the burned bamboo, Shi Meng said excitedly.

Seeing that this method was feasible, Song Xuan rearranged the manpower, except for the person who dealt with the main beam, the rest of the people came over to burn the bamboo.

This bamboo forest is not only large in area, but also has many types of bamboo, some as thick as thighs, some are as thick as a thigh, and some are Yingying's hand, and most of the lower half is straight, which is very suitable for the tribe.

I have been burning bamboo for several days, and the people of Teng Snake have also burned some experience, and seeing that the axe is not easy to use, Shi Ye also invented a tool by himself, a saw made from a bone knife.

When the fire is almost done, you can also use this saw to speed up the progress a bit, and you don't have to worry about cracking the bamboo.

With the collection of building materials almost complete, the first large-scale construction of the new tribe of Tengsnake finally began vigorously.

Song Xuan's idea was to build some small houses first, and the speed was also fast, and after the construction was completed, he could move in after a little processing, but this opinion was rejected by everyone.

Although Teng Snake has no witch for the time being, everyone still feels that their faith cannot be lost, especially the few people who have been to the Blackwater Tribe, and it is like restoring the original situation of the tribe.

The situation of the original tribe of the Teng Snake Tribe is much better than that of the Heishui Tribe, and there is even a special room prepared for sacrifice in the middle of the tribe, and the altar of the Teng Snake Tribe is placed inside.

Although the altar is not very large, only one meter square, the whole body is carved and hewn from a stone, so naturally there is no way to take it away, so it can only be ruthlessly abandoned.

Now that the house is being built, although the altar cannot be moved, everyone still wants to build the house first, and although there is no altar, the function can still be preserved.

Seeing that everyone was so persistent, Song Xuan didn't hesitate to come, having faith is a good thing after all, and a big house is not impossible to live in, so it's better than being in a cave.

The main hall in the middle inherits the design of the previous tribe, because the area is relatively large, twenty meters long, and more than ten meters deep, so the circular design of the small house is naturally not good, and the overall shape is similar to the rural grass house in Song Xuan's impression.

In addition to the four corners of each erected a pillar, there are four pillars in the middle as a support, the pillars are buried more than a meter deep into the ground, just the hole to bury the pillar has taken a lot of effort to dig well.

After all, the hole dug out still has to be tamped, and after the pillar is put in, it is filled with gravel around it, and after many times of tamping, it ensures that the pillar will not shake a little.

Although it was a little cumbersome to build, the quality was also reliable, and although it was built of wood, the large pillars alone were enough to bear the load.
