Chapter 28 Building Walls

A warp stick, a roll stick, a weft knife, a divided warp stick, and a lifting rod.

This is the main structure of this loom.

When weaving, first wrap the warp thread on the stick, then tie it on the roll, wrap the roll with a rope around the waist, sit on the ground and hold the stick with your feet, and then you can shuttle through the hand and start weaving.

Of course, the details are definitely much more complicated than what you said, but the principle is so simple.

Ye continued her spinning work without saying a word.

Although she was unhappy, she was actually quite happy because Xu Chen arranged a new job for her and taught her to learn a new word, but she just didn't want to reveal it.

However, no matter how the emoticon animal hides it, it still cannot hide that she has begun to forgive someone.

Therefore, when she was spinning slowly, she would occasionally secretly look at Xu Chen, who was sitting on the stones in the open space, and occasionally pouted, but soon she would feel sad and disappointed again.

Because Xu Chen was busy and focused on his long and short sticks, he was not in the mood to look at her at all.

At dusk, the remaining clouds fade away, and the sky slowly darkens.

The men and women who were busy all day began to sleep in groups of three or three again. Soon, the sounds of um, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, a few children's crying occasionally.

These sounds seemed to have a magical power, which made the little female savage feel a little upset, and the twine slowly became messy.

She didn't understand why she was seducing him like an adult woman, but he was unwilling to sleep with her.

Men and women in the tribe all expressed their affection for each other in this way, rolling and fighting in the grass nest every night.

In a state of distraction, the heartbeat and blushing sound in the cave slowly stopped, and then slowly turned into a sound of grinding teeth and snoring.

Before she knew it, the moon rose, and at some point a familiar figure sat down next to her.

"Mother Ba is bad!"

The savage girl's grievance tears were circling in her eyes, lowering her head, and her voice was very small.

Xu Chen was amused and laughed. He took her hand and walked to the front of the cave wall, pointing to the dense diary above.

"study!"

"Yeah!" The girl did not cry and did not turn around and escape.

Although she felt wronged, she felt that as long as she was with him, she would be satisfied even if she could not fight like adult men and women.

So that night, she learned a new word: line.

It's like a thin silk wrapped around a wooden stick, which is easy to recognize.

...

When I woke up with my eyes open, there were sunny and hundreds of birds singing outside.

The weather was really good in this primitive era.

Xu Chen yawned and got up from the grass nest, then grabbed and dashed everywhere on his body while walking out of the cave.

The group of primitive people who had finished breakfast were all busy with their own work.

A group of women, children, elderly and weak are left on the mountain.

A group of children pulled out the grass and were feeding the pony.

The leaves were sitting in the bright sunshine, spinning the thread seriously.

However, today it seems that the movements are much more proficient. The spindle rotates very quickly and the twine is pulled evenly.

And my mood looked much better than yesterday. When I saw Xu Chen coming out, I quickly put down the twine in my hand and trotted all the way to help him serve the rice.

The fur skirt was flying in the morning breeze, and the face returned to its former lightness, like a happy little beast living in the forest.

Xu Chen finished swearing in the grove, washed his hands, face and mouth. When he came back, Ye had already put a bowl of half-dried rice and mutton soup in full, and carefully brought it over and handed it to him.

"Thanks!"

Xu Chen took the bowl and chopsticks, squatted down and ate it voraciously.

"Wire!"

Ye took the spindle full of windings and showed it to him.

"very good!"

Xu Chen nodded with a smile, and soon finished shaving the rice, then threw down the bowls and chopsticks and picked up the stone axe, and then cut back a piece of wood from the woods. After chopping and polishing, it was a new spindle.

Ye continued to spin the thread. Xu Chen made five pieces in one breath and placed them next to Ye. Then he called Gu Heju, picked up the wooden hoe and the basket and went to dig the soil in the woods.

The last time I did not have much hemp skin, so it was definitely not enough for weaving. I just let the leaves be familiar with the spinning process first. I also had to wait until Moba arranged for people to collect enough bark and ferment it before I could start spinning and weaving on a large scale. This would take at least half a month.

There are very few men on the mountain today, and I guess they all go to find the bark.

After another half month, as the autumn becomes stronger, the food collection will almost end, and he will have more important arrangements at that time.

Therefore, he had to take this time to get the cave ready according to his own ideas.

This natural cave is like a large open mouth, slanting slightly from west to east.

The deepest part is located to the west, with a relatively high terrain. The puddle is outside the lowest east cave. It is a spring water that oozes out from the steep rock walls. The amount of water is not large, almost just enough to satisfy dozens of people who wash and drink on weekdays.

With the use and cleaning of a large number of pottery tableware, the amount of water used has increased a lot, and cleaning tableware and washing hands and faces are all in the same water puddle, which is definitely not hygienic. Therefore, he also had the idea of ​​renovating the water spring, but he had to wait until the lime was burned.

Now we have to build a stone wall at the entrance of the cave first.

Then renovate the fire pit, not only do you need to build a few more stoves that specialize in cooking and boiling water, but also build a circle of fences, and then lay tiles on it as a dining table.

There are a lot of stones on the mountain now, just dig some soil.

After a while of busyness, the three of them carried more than ten baskets of soil back and forth and poured them on an open space in front of the cave entrance.

Next, the three of them divided the work and cooperated.

Responsible and mud.

Gu was responsible for moving stones.

Xu Chen cut a piece of wood as thick as an arm and roughly cut it into a tile knife. After a simple plan, he stretched the rope and started building the wall.

The actions of the three of them naturally attracted the attention of a group of left-behind personnel. Everyone surrounded them curiously and watched. When they learned that Xu Chen was going to seal the entrance of the cave with stones, they were instantly happy.

The cave is halfway up the mountain, surrounded by dense forests. There are many snakes and insects in summer, and many mice in autumn and winter. Especially in summer, snakes often fall into the cave where they sleep, and some people have even been bitten by snakes in their nests.

Sometimes I was awakened by the drizzle in the middle of the night, and I slept beside me as soon as I touched the snake.

Although they are a group of primitive people, they are relatively rude, but they are still very afraid of snakes and insects.

If the entrance of the cave is blocked with stones, there will be much fewer snakes, insects, rats and ants in the future.

Therefore, after a while, the group of people started to help move stones and dig soil, and soon a few piles were piled up in front of the cave.

Busy, a day passed by in a blink of an eye.

The three of them achieved outstanding results, and they built a stone wall of one foot high and one foot long and one foot long.

But this is far from enough. According to Xu Chen's plan, this stone wall must be at least one meter high.

In the evening, as the people who collected and hunted and collected tree bark came back one after another. When they saw this neat stone wall, they were all excited and excited, and they all admired Xu Chen's magical creative ability.

Mother Ba was even happier.

When Xu Chen compared and painted the explanation last night, she didn't understand it very well, but now she fully understood it. She hugged Xu Chen and almost sipped a few more times.

As Xu Chen showed more and more unique intelligence, she actually had more and more doubts in her heart, and at the same time she became more and more nervous and entangled.

According to the marriage habits of the tribe, when Xu Chen grows up, he will live in another tribe.

That would definitely be a huge loss for the Ba people.

Because he would bring all kinds of magical skills, then the advanced advantages of the Ba people will disappear.

Relying on these things invented by Xu Chen recently, the tribe has collected more food than in previous years, and men have bows and arrows, and the hunting has increased a lot recently, and they have never been released every day. This is something that has never happened before.

Even the wolves and many beasts at the foot of the mountain were killed.

The scope of women's collection has been expanded almost to the entire valley, and the tribe's survival ability has been greatly enhanced.

What's more, how many novel creations and inventions will Xu Chen have?

How many more changes will it bring to the tribe?

She couldn't imagine it at all.

The Ba people could not afford the losses and price of Xu Chen's departure.

It would be great if Xu Chen could stay in the tribe forever.

But this is almost impossible, because with the interactions and exchanges between tribes, these things will soon spread, and more and more tribes wanting to get them. For tribes like Wu, they will use various methods to rob threats. If they do not agree, the Ba tribe may destroy the clan.

So my mother hugged Xu Chen, and as she thought about it, she couldn't help but burst into tears, which scared everyone in the entire tribe.

"Mother Baga!"

A group of women nervously surrounded her mother's side and stroked and comforted her.

Under the old woman's embrace of body odor, Xu Chen was also confused by the old woman's crying.

Just a wall was built.

Is it worth being so happy?
