Those foundations more than one foot deep are even more formal. In Chen Jian's opinion, these houses will eventually be used as warehouses and do not require too much effort.

Now it is built to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is shocking enough for tribes who have never seen a house. People who spend their days living in wild vegetables and brans all day long, don’t they think it’s a delicious food in the world?

The wishes should never be too far away. The tribe members can see and touch them in a short period of time, so that they can make progress little by little.

Even if it's so doubling, in Chen Jian's opinion, time may not be enough.

After a while of lunch, Wolf Pi arranged for Chen Jian to a forest upstream of the Cao River, and asked him to bring ten men and ten women to cut wood, men cut trees, and women prune branches.

"You tie up the repaired trees with ropes and put them in the river and float downwards. It doesn't need to be too thick, just be too thick. It's fine. Don't be too long. It's enough to have three that long."

The wolf's eyes lit up and floated down the water is a good way, which saves a lot of effort. There are weeds and short trees nearby, and they are not straight at all. There are many trees in the upper reaches.

"By the way, also, take a few pieces of birch bark, the bigger the better."

After sending off the wolf skin, the remaining man continued to dig pits and foundations. He and the women cut down some low trees and withered firewood and piled them on the edge of the river under the cliff.

A fire was lit, and Chen Jian left a few people to watch and add firewood into it, and took the rest of them to mow the grass with stones.

A large piece of stone and wood tied a god of death sickle. With a force, the tall grass more than half a meter was knocked down.

Mom and a few sisters spread the rope on the ground, piled the hay on the rope, pulled it hard and tied it into a roll, and carried it back.

As time is coming, I guess it is almost time to return to the cliff, and the stones on the cliff are already scorching.

Taking advantage of the high temperature, we poured the cold river water on the rock wall together.

A clattering sound continued to come, and a large piece of rock that had already exposed its cracks, while the cracks had already fallen apart, and it scattered gently, rumbled all over the ground.

The gravel was put into a willow basket, and each basket was more than 100 kilograms. Two people with less strength were carried, while one person with more strength was carried, walking towards a place hundreds of meters away.

In the afternoon, four one-foot-deep foundations were filled with gravel and covered the backfill soil. First, someone could use his feet to step on them, and then he kept backfilling until his feet could not move, and then smashed them with vertical wood.

In the evening, the sound of wolf skin covering her mouth came from the river.

The tied wood floated down from the upstream, and the tribesmen pulled ropes together to drag the wood to the shore.

Loosen the rope, let the elm seeds count, and use charcoal to record them on the birch bark.

Yuqianer counted for a long time and told her brother that there were two ninety-nine, and there were sixty-seven more. She didn't know how to count one hundred, so she had to write it down in this awkward way.

Carry the wood to a place slightly far from the river on the shore and put it there to dry. Look at the sunset in the sky and tell the tribe that it is possible to rest today.

So dozens of birch bark boats shuttled through the water with the afterglow of the slanting rays at the same time, and returned to Luodao with the birds returning all over the sky and night.

Dinner was dried fish and smoked pork. Some people snored slightly by the fire after eating. They were really exhausted these two days.

If you want to enjoy the happiness of civilization, you must first endure the pain of civilization. This is just the beginning.

Unfortunately, there is no alcohol now, otherwise I would be so tired, and drinking a glass before going to sleep is a great enjoyment.

The wolf skin fell asleep with a dried fish in his mouth. He cut down more than forty trees and two stone axes. His arms were so shocked that he was still twitching while eating.

Ask the yummy cousins ​​and uncles to cover the sleeping cousins ​​and uncles, he continued to weave wicker baskets with the women who still have the strength.

This time the woven basket was very small, so I used wicker to weave something like a funnel. The funnel's small mouth was inserted into the wicker basket, with a large mouth facing outward.

Put a few pebbles in the basket, put a piece of slightly smelly meat, buckle the willow funnel, tie a rope, and throw it into the river water of the reed pond in the distance. The rope was exposed to the water and tied to the wood.

"When the sun comes out tomorrow morning, go and take out these baskets, and there will be fish in it."

Chen Jian said like a charlatan, but he couldn't hold on anymore. He found a place to fall asleep. He left a group of aunts looking at each other, and could the fish run into his hands?

On the morning of the fourth day, Chen Jian woke up and found that his body was covered with sheepskin. The elm seeds were sleeping soundly on his calves. No wonder he dreamed that his legs were pressed by stones at night...

Gently lift the little head of the elm seed, put sheepskin on it, and quietly got up.

Wake up the men and signal to go to work before breakfast.

Status is earned, and if you want to calculate what you say, you have to work hard now.

Although men don’t understand this principle, they also think that it is natural to do some heavy work. However, the home that Chen Jian promised is still a pit, and he has lost some energy.

When they took the boat to the other side, they chose sixteen thicker woods, and they carried them one by one to a flat foundation.

Chen Jian planned to use soil to build the first batch of houses, because it was too troublesome to burn bricks or drag mud.

Adobe houses are also considered traditional Chinese culture, but I don’t know when the lives of such low-level figures were expelled from the traditional category, leaving only carved railings and painted buildings.

"Mencius? Telling the World" once said: Fu Shuo is among the plaques. This plaque is the way Chen Jian wants to build a house. If he goes directly to the brick house, he will be afraid that there will be a good sentence in the brick kiln after a few years.

The construction of the plate, the construction of the plate first and then the construction of the plate.

A hole was dug outside the right angle to the foundation, and inserted thick wood into it as the foot of the column.

Then the slender wood was tied layer by layer with rope to the legs of the two pillars, forming a wooden wall.

A piece of paper was also built on the inside of the foundation parallel to the wooden wall, leaving about one foot of gap between the two wooden walls.

After they were all tied up, the sun also rose very high. There were smoke rising from the island of Root, and occasionally a slight laughter could be heard, but it was blown away by the wind, so it was not real to hear it.

"Come again after dinner."

The tribe members were all hungry, but Langpi and Song waved to everyone and said, "You go back first, tie these ropes tightly. Just leave a boat for us."

Chen Jian nodded and took someone back first.

The island was already noisy, and before the docking, several women gathered around and shouted: "Jian! Jian, there are really fish in the wicker basket! My grandmother asked me to ask you, what should I do with this wicker basket?"

"Put some minced meat and bones and throw them into the river."

The answer was faced with more than ten meters of water, and he could not help but shout. Several women responded and hurried to the river.

Dozens of fresh fish are grilling on the fire. I have been eating dried fish these days. The river is so wide that I don’t have a pile of stones to catch fish. I really miss the smell of fresh fish.

This time, fishing was simply magical to the tribe members. They didn’t have to go into the water or carry stones, so the fish ran into the willow basket by themselves. I’m afraid that if this continues, one day, if food is sitting next to the fire, one day, food will fly into the pottery basin by itself...

Yuqier shook her two braids and asked, "Brother, brother, I know this fish wants to eat meat before entering, but why don't they run out?"

Chen Jian spread his hands and said, "How could I know, maybe I got lost inside?"

"No, there must be a reason." Yuqianer pouted, feeling that her brother was teasing her, but she couldn't figure it out.

However, this is actually the case. The wicker basket is wide and the funnel mouth is too small. When you go in, you drill through the big hole into the small hole. It will be troublesome when you go out. If the fish can figure it out and figure out the small hole, it will be the way out, then their IQ will be eighty. Obviously they are not smart.

It counts that dozens of fish are not enough for the tribe members to eat, so the smart tribe members began to weave again after seeing the fish in the wicker basket.

This was a heart-boosting shot, which made these tired tribesmen feel that Chen Jian’s promise was closer, so they would not only see the earth pit but not hope like yesterday.

After a breakfast meal, I recovered my strength and all the dozens of light and strong people arrived on the other side of the river.

The two of them poured the soil into the gap between the two wooden walls in a group, and the men used thick wood to tamp it firmly.

There were more than a dozen people on each side of the four walls, and the soil dug out from the pit was right next to it, and it was going back and forth very quickly.

But soon my uncle stopped and asked, "Kan, we are surrounded by all sides, how can we get in?"

In a word, all the tribe members were stunned.

Chen Jian patted his head, and was so busy that he was so busy that he forgot about the doors and windows.

"Put it first, don't tamp the way against Caohe for now. Uncle, follow me, and you guys."

He ordered a few people casually, wiped his sweat, and followed Chen Jian to the riverside.

After choosing a few pieces of wood, Chen Jian estimated the size of the door and measured the distance with a rope. He didn't have time to get the scale yet. Let's finish the work for this time.

Nowadays, there are no nails, and the door frame can only be made of tenon structure. This thing can be simple or complicated. If it is complex, you can build a hundred-foot tower without using a nail. It is more than enough to be a door frame.

The intuitive understanding of the tenon mortise is to insert the concave on the top of the concave, turning into a sun or mouth, and whether there is a horizontal line inside to see your technology.

First peel the wood, use a stone axe and a knife to level it, and measure the rope well. Use a simple stone chisel to dig out an eye, which is the upper beam of the door frame in the future.

The other two pieces of wood carved a protrusion on the cross section, which serves as both sides of the door frame. I called Dawu because he was the best stone tool for the tribe before, and he made it happen when he smashed holes in his shoulder blades.

The tools are not handy, and fortunately, they don’t need too high precision. After working hard for a long time, they finally finished it. After closing the mortise and tenon, Chen Jian asked, “Do you understand?”

"I understand, it's the same as punching holes in the stone and stuffing sticks into it." My uncle glanced at it a few times and gave an accurate definition.

"Okay, uncle, if you take these people to do this, we will go to work first."

My uncle nodded, shook the wooden frame with his hand, quite satisfied, and asked a few more questions.

Before Chen Jian could answer the answer, he heard someone calling his name from above and had to hurry back.

The first house has already taken shape, with most of the three walls being high, but now it is already very troublesome whether it is to install soil or rammed earth inside.

When I was in trouble, I naturally thought of Chen Jian, so I called him.

He cursed again with hatred and ignored the future. He hurriedly tied a pair of ladders with ropes and wood, and made two simple scaffoldings that were definitely reported in his previous life, and then he continued.

It was very fast for sixty or seventy people to build a house. Soon the door frame and window frames that my uncle made were also brought over, and the front wall was officially started.

I fixed the door frame, started filling the soil, squeezed the door frame with the soil, and made the big frame of the first house in the afternoon.

The south wall is one meter higher than the north wall. It is densely placed on the roof with wood, forming a slope with high south and low north.

Fill a layer of soil on top, cover with birch bark, and pour rosin on the interface.

Then he took a few people to step on the wood on the roof, spread the grass that my mother had cut back yesterday on it layer by layer, pressing it down layer by layer.

Super strong absorption, three-way leakage prevention. As long as it is not a heavy storm, the rain will flow down the thatch. Even if it is saturated, there is still a layer of inclined birch bark.

The sun was about to set, and the tribe members who could not reach the roof covered the sun with their hands. They looked up at the people covering the roofs on them, and were shocked in their hearts.

The children playing in the distance also surrounded him and looked up at the thing called "House".

Even though the grass clippings blown by the wind made my eyes confused, I just rubbed them casually with my hands, but I couldn't bear to tilt my head away, as if I was afraid that I would never see it again.

On the roof, Chen Jian and others bathed in the sunset, and the shadows and the house were integrated.

After laying the last layer of grass, I pulled up a log to press it. I sat on the thatched wood in the south and took a breath, my legs naturally hang down and swayed slightly.

In the vast wilderness, the first creature that transcends nature appeared.
Chapter completed!
