An oil lamp was lit in the cave, and the pottery bowl of the oil lamp was placed beside the stove. The two windows in the cave were made of crystal. The light coming in was still a little dim.
Qi sat on the leather beside the stove, leaning against the stove to keep warm, the oil lamp and the light from the window came in, and the needle and thread in her hand could be seen very clearly. There is a big bamboo basket next to the leather, which is full of soft fur that has been washed and dried. No matter if it is gurgling or other prey, the fur is the softest. At this time, Qi had already sewed the quilt up, leaving a hole, and stuffed the soft fur into it, and after the fur was stuffed, she sewed up the remaining hole.
In order to prevent the hair from running around, Qi and Xiaohe spread out the sewn quilt, and then the two began to sew one by one to fix the hair. This is a sewn liner, made of cotton cloth, and then covered with leather after the liner is sewn. In order to save trouble and easy to disassemble and wash, the four corners of the two pieces of leather are tied with laces. When the time comes, just use the ties to tie the four corners of the inner tank.
The tribe has been busy some time ago, busy burning charcoal, cooking fine salt, and drying wild vegetables and mushrooms. Now it's snowing heavily and no one goes out. When I'm free, I start thinking about duvets. The first quilt is naturally for Qi's bedroom. During the snow season It's cold, Xiao An Xiaole can't sleep in the crib, and sleeps with Qi and Lin Zi, the duvet naturally comes tight to the two little ones first.
Gaoming Landa Sado cooks in the kitchen, Bujialinzi sweeps snow outside the cave, Zhengmao takes Dashi Xiaobao down the mountain to inspect the situation of each small cave, the convenience of firewood and food, and whether there are any small disputes.
A pot of stewed meat dishes was prepared for lunch, and they were brought to the cave to heat up on the stove. After a while, Zhengmao and the others came back. Dashi had a bad face, and Xiaobao's eyes were cold.
"What's the matter?" Gao Ming worried: "Could it be something happened down the mountain?"
Xiaobao shook his head, but Dashi couldn't bear it anymore, and said quickly, "It's not that earlobe!"
"Let's eat first, it's nothing serious. Eat hot." Zheng Mao smiled.
The quilt had already been sewn, and Xiaohe helped Qi carry it to the bedroom. The quilt with down and two leather sheets was heavy, but it was also warm and tight. Although Gao Minglanda scooped up the rice, he was curious, but let alone when he was full, seeing Zhengmao's appearance was no big deal.
"I have always been worried about the earhooks, so I let Bao and Zha look at them, so I put the earhooks into the cave for two people. There were ten people living in that cave, except for six men, all of them were women. Bao and Zha followed the hole. The two women in the cave have a close relationship, and I don't know what the ear hooks said to the other four, anyway, as soon as I went down, there was a quarrel about women in the cave." Zhengmao said that he was also angry, and followed the cave after being provoked twice by outsiders It's really useless to quarrel with brothers who were born and died! Although it was just a verbal quarrel, Zhengmao could also see the man's ability to sow discord, his eyes turned cold, "I originally wanted to keep him after the snow season, but now..."
Before he finished speaking, he ate Everyone knows what it means. Gao Ming didn't hear it, he had seen and heard about this man's deeds from Ah Gun's mouth, he really wanted to use some kind of love and tolerance to influence him, it was all fart, Ah Gun's former Ah Ling was a lesson from the past. Although it was a human life, but the ear-losing person said it seriously, that is to destroy the unity of the tribe and achieve independence. Exile is enough, but whether they can live in this snowy day is not what they said.
Everyone had no objection. After dinner, Zhengmao didn't want Erhang to live in the tribe for another night. When they left just now, Erhang winked at the four of them. I don't know what it will look like if I have nothing to do.
It was snowing heavily outside the cave, and Zhengmao Bujia and the other two put on their cloaks and went down the mountain. The two didn't come back until the evening, the sky was overcast, and there was an inch of snow on the shed at the entrance of the cave. Landa Sado went out with a broom to sweep the snow, and the big stone forest swept the snow outside the entrance of the cave. Gao Ming was afraid that Xue Datian would freeze to death Gugu who had been raising him for so long, so he specially carried the hot water bottle to heat the water.
Cuckoo is still raised in the grove, but let Xiaobao Xiaohe make a shed. Under the shed are two rows of cages, long and narrow, made of wooden strips. The shed is made of bamboo split into strips. Open a simple bamboo door, two rows of cages, one row for twelve Gugu, Gao Ming poured hot water into the trough, and the Gugu nestled on the hay saw the heat and drank the hot water with pecks. Added water and picked up four eggs. Gao Ming saw that the roof of the shed was covered with snow, and the temperature inside was very low. Apart from keeping out the wind, it didn't have any effect on keeping warm. Stove, just burn firewood directly without burning charcoal.
Going back to the cave and putting four eggs, Xiaobao helped Qi and Xiaohe make quilts. Gao Ming was surprised at first, thinking that Xiaobao was omnipotent. If the clothes and pants are torn, if you don't mend them yourself, who else will mend them? The three of them are making the second quilt. Gao Ming thinks that there are only two quilts a day. If he stays up until night and makes three quilts to death, he feels that he is useless tonight.
He took a broom and swept away the snow on Gugu's shed. Gao Ming put the broom at the entrance of the cave, went into the storage cave and took out a small round stove. Landa Sado had already cleaned it up, so we helped light the fire together. , and sent them to Gugu's shed, Landa Sado felt that these Gugu lived too well.
"Do you still want to eat omelets?" Gao Ming asked.
Landa nodded, instantly expressing that it was right to set up the stove for Gu Gu Gu. But Gao Ming also knows extravagance. In some places, people don't have heating stoves. He decided to raise them for a period of time and slaughter them slowly, and then raise them in the next spring. The most important thing is that there is enough meat and food recently. Raise them first. If you freeze to death, eat it.
The three of them returned to the entrance of the cave, and first swept the snow on their bodies with a small broom. The leather was hung at the entrance of the cave, and when the curtain was lifted, a gust of hot air rushed to their faces, and the snow on the fur and fur on their hair would turn into water in a short while. Put it on a wooden shelf to dry by the stove, and put it on when you go out. It's quite warm.
In the evening, when Bujia Zhengmao came back, Gao Ming didn't ask what happened to the earbuds, but Zhengmao said a few words instead, saying that it was all right, and everyone didn't ask any more questions. In the evening, the shabu-shabu was eaten, and it was really beautiful to eat warm shabu-shabu in the cave under the heavy snow outside. Zhengmao also had a smile on his face, and he was in a good mood.
"Every small cave at the bottom of the mountain is warm, there is enough food, leather and cotton cloth, and now I sew down quilts. This snow season will not be afraid of starving to death and freezing to death." I was afraid that the people in the cave would starve to death and freeze to death, but some people still died. "This snow season should be the most leisurely one in the tribe."
"Zheng Mao Bujia, our tribe should establish a rule." Gao Ming thought for a while, and said with his own thoughts: "Our tribe will have more and more people in the future, and it will grow bigger and bigger, but management is the problem. Today, the ear-hook casually said a few words to provoke a small hole, and there was a problem. You can't do it yourself every time there is a trivial matter, and you should also tell the people in the tribe what can and can't be done. If we want to develop, we must develop. Rules."
Zhengmao Buga stopped his chopsticks and listened carefully.
"And the men and women of our tribe should also count how many children, how many women, how many young and middle-aged people, and how many old people. Children are the future development of the tribe. We can create our own characters and teach children some simple arithmetic. The development of our tribe depends on children. "Gao Ming's mind is a bit confused, he can only think of so much as a cook, as for the small rules, everyone needs to deliberate together, after all, he is not involved in politics.
Lin Zi and Qi, who have children, also listened carefully.
Seeing that everyone had stopped their chopsticks, Gao Ming couldn't help but smile, "It's up to everyone to figure out the details. I just want to say what I want to say. When we are free during the snow season, the children can't stay in the cave all the time, can they? There are so many holes at the foot of the mountain. I want to open a study class. First, I will learn arithmetic and words in a unified way. When it develops later, we can study culture in the morning and hunt in the afternoon. The hunters who are disabled and cannot hunt in the tribe have skills. These can take young children to hunt. A small prey is fine, it's a beginner's level, and when the child's hands and feet are sensitive, he can go out with you to watch it when he's older, so as to avoid some damage." After all, it's dangerous to take it to hunt without knowing anything.
Zhengmao looked at Bujia, his eyes were very bright, Bujia nodded in agreement, Zhengmao laughed, "Okay, our Dashan tribe can't always be a name, and we still act like the Dong tribe. What kind of tribe is this!"
As for Gao Ming does not intend to use all modern simplified characters. For children in primitive tribes, simple word recognition and arithmetic are enough. The most important thing is to learn hunting skills. Some simplified characters are still too complicated. Gao Ming thinks of the pictographic characters he read in books before , I think the two can be combined.
After this meal, the future development of the tribe has been roughly determined, and Gao Ming also has work to do in this snow season. He wants to create a set of characters belonging to their mountain tribe!
After eating early the next morning, Zhengmao Xiaobao Gaoming Bujia went down the mountain, Zhengmao Xiaobao counted the number of people, Gaoming Bujia chose suitable holes for classrooms and measured doors and windows. At noon, I arrived in the cave on the mountainside. The rice made by Landa Sado, the stewed chestnuts, Gugu, stewed three chestnuts, half a pot of chestnuts, and a whole large iron pot. The stove behind has been boiling bone soup since morning. . The snow was swept away from the hole on the roof of the shed, and Landa also fed Gu Gu Gu.
The four of them were cold and warmed up by drinking a bowl of bone soup first. Xiaobao took out a cardboard with the tribal population statistics simply written on it.
There are a total of 208 people in the tribe, and there are 28 small caves in total. A total of 148 men, 60 women, 30 men and 15 women over the age of 40, and 8 newborn babies, 8 men and 5 women. There are seventy-five adult men, fifteen boys over the age of one and under twenty, and thirteen girls...
roughly, there are seventy-five adults in the tribe, and the children counted by Xiaobao are She is almost an adult, and girls can have sex at eleven or twelve. Gao Ming thinks it is necessary to control the age at which girls can have sex. Girls at eleven or twelve are still in primary school in modern times. Gao Ming just imagined it. Twice.
"Xiao He, have you grown up?" Gao Ming asked suddenly.
Xiao He was stunned, then remembered the meaning of Gao Ming's words, blushed with shame, but still nodded honestly, "Wheat will come out when you plant it.
" It's because of lack of nutrition and being tired that ejaculate so late." People are the same, and the structure is the same. When he first arrived, he wondered why he had to be 20 to ejaculate. Maybe God will remember it for you no? ! But just to be on the safe side, Gao Ming asked the people in the cave, "Is there anyone among you who didn't become an adult before 20 years old? Or others can do it too!"
Lin Zi said yes, and Zheng Mao also said that there were in the tribe, but they were all seventeen or eighteen. just came.
"Then it has something to do with nourishment and labor." Gao Ming wanted to delay the union of men and women a bit, and the other women had eleven or twelve men and twenty or so, how could it develop like this? It is not good for a woman to have sex too early, and the child she gives birth is also prone to premature death. It is better to procrastinate. As for the chaotic and complicated interpersonal relationships in the tribe, this must be smoothed out. Don't have sex with close blood in the future, but This matter has to be done slowly. There are few women in the tribe, and monogamy is not realistic. After all, you have to consider more than half of the hunters who are full of blood. If this kind of thing is held for a long time, civil strife will easily occur, which is not conducive to internal unity.
"Shall we confirm the surname?" Gao Ming suddenly thought that if he had a surname, he could at least go through the possibility of consanguineous marriage on a large scale.
He also became interested in the surname Zhengmao, rubbing his chin and looking at Wen Xiaobao, smiling like a ruffian, "Is our Xiaobao surnamed Wen? Then I want to be surnamed Wen!"
Wen Zhengmao! ! !
Gao Ming was slightly envious for a while, and couldn't help but look at Bujia sadly, you see, Zhengmao has taken his husband's surname!
