After eating the barbecue, there was only one half-short hair left. They didn't bring much salt in their hands. If they don't go back today, they will wait until tomorrow morning. If they rush to the tribe with their backs, the meat will be spoiled. The short-haired, tenderest and best meat is picked off, and the rest of the meat and bones can be taken back. They are packed with big leaves and placed in a bamboo basket. The remaining internal organs and rough meat are thrown away in the distance. .
A group of people walked towards the tribe and saw many caves when they came. Now that the sun is about to set, they must find a suitable cave as soon as possible. After being far away from the place where the shorthair was slaughtered just now, I finally found a cave entrance halfway up the mountain. It is far away from the water source, but it is also safe. It is always dangerous for the prey to drink and live near the water source.
"A Gun, you and Bao and Lei go to fetch water, pay attention to safety." Zheng Mao turned his head to look at Ah Qi, "Take someone to move the stone."
Soon there were only six people left in the dozen or so, and Zheng Mao took the lead to find the water nearby. firewood. The hole they were looking for was relatively large, but the hole was small, so it was safe. Zhengmao spread the firewood on the inside and spread the whole side. Just as Wen Xiaobao was about to make a sound, Zhengmao turned his head and said, "Go out first. , I'm toasting." When a fire was lit, all the firewood that had been laid on the ground was ignited.
The cave started to smoke, and Zhengmao also went out, "Look for some dead leaves or something." There wasn't much firewood in the cave, but after finding two bamboo baskets of dry weeds, the fire in the cave was extinguished. The burnt ashes were picked up with wooden sticks, and after there was no spark, they spread the withered grass on the ashes, and then pulled the leather to spread it on top of it. A little soft on the leather, not cold at all.
Boiling water is boiled in the cave. Just eat some meat soup at night and put the rest in the innermost cool place of the cave for barbecue or soup tomorrow.
Wen Xiaobao sat on the leather, his buttocks were soft, warm, and very comfortable. He couldn't help but look at Zheng Mao who was cooking broth. Did this guy burn the ground for him?
Going to bed at night, Wen Xiaobao lay on the ground without the damp smell from yesterday, and whispered: "Why are you burning the ground today?"
"You didn't sleep well yesterday because of the ground tide." Zhengmao slowly raised one arm, and finally put it on Wen Xiaobao's shoulder tremblingly. Angrily, "You can sleep well today, if the cold squeezes towards me." Zhengmao had no other thoughts, just thinking that he would not be cold if he squeezed over.
Wen Xiaobao fell asleep on his side, the hooliganism in Zhengmao's eyes was annoying no matter how he looked, out of sight and out of mind.
Zheng Mao stared at the back of Wen Xiaobao's head, and smiled happily. If Xiaobao didn't object, he acquiesced, that's good.
Before dawn the next day, Ah Gun got up and boiled a large pot of broth. When the aroma came out, a dozen people each had a bamboo tube. The broth was more meat and less soup. On the contrary, he praised Ah Gun very much. He had to travel for a day, and he was not full after eating the thin soup. It was refreshing to eat the big pieces of meat. The meat was all the tender part of the short hair, and it was really delicious when stewed.
After eating and drinking enough, I packed up the leather pot and bamboo tube, filled a pot of water by the river, washed the pot and bamboo tube by the way, and then packed up and went to the tribe. There is no stop along the way. If you are thirsty, there are small wild fruits on the roadside to pick and eat by yourself. Sometimes hunters spend a whole day in ambush hunting. It is normal not to eat or drink. He stopped and walked, and when he saw that the distance was far away, he quickly ran up to keep up, for fear that the big guy would leave him here, but after walking for a while, he became sleepy again, and fell behind all of a sudden.
The sun is shining on the top of the head at the moment, and the sun is so hot that people are peeling off their skin and getting hot. The distance between the earhooks and the team is already more than ten meters. The team didn't wait for him not to rest, but they still followed. When they were about to arrive, their eyes rolled, their feet staggered, and they fell to the ground. One hand grabbed the last person's ankle, hey Yo yo screaming.
"My foot seems to be broken and I can't walk." Erhang raised his head, showing a pitiful and painful look.
Ah Gun clenched his fists tightly. They originally migrated from the small hole, and the earring fell many times along the way. If he hadn't been so procrastinating, how could the original Ah Ling die? !
Zheng Mao sneered, with killing intent in his eyes. Ah Qi sneered, and also stepped forward, squatting beside the ear hanging, his strong and swollen arms were tanned by the sun, with sweat hanging on them, raised his arms to the ear hanging legs, and said: "If you want me to see it, it will be broken." Best, throw it down for the hyenas and vultures to eat and save us a bite of food."
The meaning in Ah Qi's mouth was not threatening at all, he really wanted to break the leg of the earring and throw it down the mountain, he couldn't see it for a long time I'm used to this man, even calling him a hunter he despises.
Surrounded by a circle of tribal hunters behind him, all faces impatient, if Ah Qi really intends to break the ear-hanging leg, all he needs to do is make a sound, and someone behind him will actively hand the bricks!
Ah Gun loosened his clenched fist. Just now he was worried that the tribe would take care of the ear-hooks like Ah-Ling did before, and if so, he would try his best not to let the ear-hooks drag everyone down.
Sweat dripped from his ears and forehead, he wiped his head, and then yelled out in pain.
Ah Qi's big strong and rough hands were pinching the knee joints of the ears, and seeing the ears screaming, she raised her lips and sneered, "Isn't it good to have such a loud voice! Can you go?" .
The ear hanging couldn't see the meaning in Ah Qi's eyes, endured the pain, stood up quickly, and limped to keep up with the team. Ah Qi has a sense of measure in his hands, and the ear hanging is considered sensible. The first stroke is just a pain and numbness for a while, and it will be fine after walking for half an hour.
After this little episode on the road, the rest of the journey went smoothly, and by three o'clock in the afternoon, they had already entered the entrance of the tribal river. From a distance, Zhengmao saw Gao Ming leading the hunters to dig mud by the river, and everyone was happy when he returned to the tribe. Gao Ming heard the sound, and when he looked up, he saw Zhengmao and his party coming back, casually paddling in the river twice , washed the mud off his hands, and walked to Xiaobao, "It can be regarded as coming back, the other team has already come back, take a bath first, I guess you will come back today, under the shade of the tree, the big pot is stewing meat The soup has been simmering on a low fire since noon until now, everyone eats and rests first."
The hunter, whose face was red and dark from the sun, saw Zhengmao nod his head and dive into the river.
Gao Ming looked it up from top to bottom, and seeing that Wen Xiaobao was fine, he nodded and heaved a sigh of relief, "The bathroom is flooded today, you go back to the cave to take a bath and sleep, Xiaohe hasn't seen you for two days and misses you Very soon, I made leather at noon, and put it in the storage hole for you to save." Pointing to the river, "Xiaohe and Tutu are playing in the water, and they have gone crazy these two days."
Wen Xiaobao's eyes were filled with A warm smile, it's nice to be cared about eating and drinking after going home like this. Nodding, he smiled and said, "I'm fine, how is the cave? How is Xiaoan Xiaole?"
Gao Ming saw that A Gun was also looking at him, and nodded with a smile. Everything is fine, Ah Gun, your mother is in good health and your appetite has improved, and I still read you at noon today! You and Xiaobao go back to take a bath, eat and rest, and have a good chat with your mother." The old man these two days I didn't sleep well at night, and I was always worried about Ah Gun.
Seeing the two walking towards the mountainside, Bujia came out from a large empty hole in the distance, and when Zhengmao came back, they nodded to each other.
"Xiao Ming and I took advantage of the two days you left to start drying bricks with the tribe's young and old." Bujia said.
Zhengmao looked at the inner square and saw layers of yellow bricks on the ground. He nodded and laughed loudly, "Good brother!"
Bujia Gaoming looked at each other. Zhengmao is a little happy today! Gao Ming couldn't help wondering if something good happened these two days. Just as he was about to ask, Zhengmao had already gone swimming in the river.
Gao Ming has a cheating artifact in his hand. He first moved the limestone block into a small hole near the tribe, and then asked everyone to pull it with an iron cart. There is a part of the river in the sandy river. The bottom of the river is full of sand. But it's better than going over a big mountain to the river to save trouble, otherwise it's not worthwhile to pull back a cart of sand every day.
"Don't let the children go over the river where the sand is being dug, and tell the head of the children in the tribe that it's dangerous there. Play in the shallow water." As a classroom, he and Xiaobao first teach the children in the tribe arithmetic and simple characters. The tribe always needs to develop, and development cannot be separated from rules and regulations. Of course, learning to read and write is also very important.
The stalks and withered grass left over from the wheat are cut into pieces, and these can be mixed with clay to be used as the glue that bricks can only see.
Bujia nodded, and after these bricks are dried in the sun, they can be fired in the kiln. According to what Xiao Ming said, the clay bricks fired are stronger than those dried in the sun. "Look at the route at night and you will know how many bricks will be dried."
Gao Ming nodded, and he will be busy until autumn again.
In the Bujia Cave at night, after dinner, Ah Qi's bad teeth are flourishing and Nenya Dafeng is in the other team. When Nenya took out the yellow paper, everyone looked at the thing that looked like an earthworm The lines suddenly became embarrassing. Nianya also knew that her drawing skills were not good enough, so she pointed to the lines and talked about them one by one. Someone like Gaoming Bujia who had just moved here and was not familiar with the tribe's surroundings naturally struggled to understand, but Zhengmao and his group nodded in understanding.
When Wen Xiaobao took out the yellow paper, Nen Ya lowered his head and scratched his head in embarrassment, he said that the lines were right, it was as if he hadn't drawn them.
Fortunately, Zhengmao understood the topographic map, put the two pieces of paper together, pointed to the middle part, "This is our tribe, this is our big river, let's start from the back of the tribe first, pass the big and small Niitou Mountains Here and here are two hills, and from here they go around in a circle."
Gradually, Gao Ming had a three-dimensional map in his mind, and according to Zhengmao's division, there were no more circles and no less circles, and the sphere of influence of their tribe was determined. Well, the caves in this area basically have a different point, which is ventilated and dry, unlike the cave they lived in before, which was cold and humid. Although Gao Ming came here, he didn't plan to build a house when he arrived in the cave. The group attack is very powerful, he has never built a house, and he doesn't know if the half-baked look is strong or not. If there are cement and steel bars, he would be relieved, but here is stone clay, so he would be relieved!
Their tribe started to circle around the top of the mountain, and circled around to enclose the tribe. It looks like a whole castle. If it expands in the future, it is not afraid that there will be no place for people to live. Now they only occupy the innermost circle of the Great Wall. It can be said that it is an inner city. When new people join in the future, they can dig holes in the mountainside round after round like them, so that it will be the first ring, the second ring and the third ring.
Gao Ming was embarrassed by his own thoughts. He used to be unable to buy a house in the city center in Hyundai, but Hyundai is good. The proper internal personnel don't have to run away!
It was agreed that the entire tribe will be divided into two parts from tomorrow, one part digs the foundation, and the other part is responsible for drying and burning bricks.
Gao Ming thinks that this activity will be held until at least October in the future, and he can't help but feel a little depressed, alas! When can we live a leisurely life in the countryside! ! ! Why do you have no head to work every day! ! When I looked up, I scanned the circle, it seemed that everyone except him was very excited, um, he was really too lazy! To struggle! keep it up!
