Chapter 16
This is the first rain Xu Chen saw after traveling over.
It's so tyrannical and terrifying.
However, a group of primitive people were obviously very familiar with this weather. They rushed into the cave in a swarm, threw eight wild wolves of all sizes on the edge of the cave, and then turned on the Erha water shaking mode together, shaking their heads, shook their butts, shaking their legs and stamping their feet. For a while, the rain and fog flew, and the scene was spectacular.
“南~~”
The injured foal was also untied the rope on his legs, and he got up and limped and neighed in fear.
Ye and a group of children were very happy and rushed around.
Xu Chen pulled the foal to a corner of the cave and tied it to a large stone. He told a group of children not to get too close. Then he also turned on the shaking mode and used the polymer physical shock movement to dry the wet body.
When you go out, you basically rely on walking, you basically rely on yelling, you basically rely on your hands to keep warm, and you basically rely on shaking.
I used to think it was a joke that netizens joked about.
But at the moment, all this is true.
Even more than that.
These primitive people were so poor that they didn't even have a piece of cloth to wipe their faces.
It is impossible for him to even take a sip of hot water at the moment.
Because there is almost nothing except the wrapped animal skin.
Seeing so many wolf corpses, Mom Ba and other groups of women were frightened and excited, and they all gathered around a group of men for concern. After a chaotic exchange, the men scattered around to find a place to rest, while the women and a few old and weak men who stayed in the cave began to pack up these preys and pick the wild fruits they had returned.
When a woman found that two of the backpacks were filled with mud, she couldn't help but yell. She was complaining about a group of unreliable men, but after learning that these were specially dug back by Xu Chen, the group of women stopped talking and carried them to the wall of the hole where he often wrote.
The foal was overly frightened and limped around under the watch of a group of children, trembling all over.
Xu Chen wrung out the fur skirt, hugged the hay from the nearby grass nest, and threw it next to the pony. He then mashed several herbs such as Tianqida Isatis roots that he had picked and dried some time ago, mixed some wood ash and applied it to the pony's wound. After observing that the wound was not bleeding, he turned around to do his own business.
I don’t think that this heavy rain suddenly made him have an unreliable need for hot water.
What a pleasant thing it would be to take a hot bath, then make a cup of hot tea, and then a cigarette.
Or you can also use large ingredients, green onion and ginger to stew a pot of hot wolf meat bones, and eat a hot meal of delicious food, which is even more beautiful in life.
The more he thought about it, the more he drooled, he quickly found a rocky ground, cleaned it with hay, and poured out a basket of soil that was brought back.
The soil is completely wet after being rained and does not require watering at all.
After cleaning up some grassroots gravels mixed in it, rub and beat them repeatedly like a dough, slowly making them into a ball of half-dry and non-sparse wet mud.
Although I have never made pottery, I still played with peeing mud when I was a child, so there will not be too many problems in the program.
And based on his knowledge, the clay dug now should be fine.
What is missing is a professional fire kiln, because in order to successfully fire pottery, the temperature of the kiln fire needs to reach at least 800 degrees to ensure that the silicon-aluminum oxide changes and condenses into ceramic bodies.
However, there is no fire kiln at the moment, and this experiment will probably not be successful in firing.
But he had enough time, as long as the soil could be used, he believed that he would succeed.
Dig a piece of the wet mud that has been kneaded, then knead it into a ball, and then slowly pinch it into the shape of a bowl.
In just a few minutes, a crooked mud bowl was presented to Xu Chen.
A group of children were originally surrounded by the foal, but when they saw Xu Chen playing with mud, they all rushed around, all of them looking eager to try, obviously having a strong desire to do it.
However, under Xu Chen's desire to beat people, a group of children could only squat around and watch.
As the newest child king.
Xu Chen has recently formed absolute authority in the hearts of a group of children, and no one dares to provoke easily.
How ugly!
Looking at his clay sculpture debut, Xu Chen's face twitched for a long time. After observing for a while, he carefully took a break with a bone knife, and then put it on the stone slab beside the fire pit to bake.
Generally speaking, it is best to dry the pottery clay, so that it is more uniform and not easy to crack, but it is a little too late.
Such heavy rain will probably not last for two or three days.
Next, he made a dozen different utensils of large and small sizes in one breath, including bowls, plates, cups and water tanks. The volume was not large because the soil was dry and thin, and it would deform or even collapse if it was done too much.
In the end, there was a big pile of mud left in his fist, and it didn't feel enough to pinch anything, so he simply pinched two small savages, just like the image of a savage among the crazy primitive man, with a big bearded fur skirt, but it was very abstract, with almost no facial features and completely inconsistent body proportions.
Art is indeed not my strength!
Looking at these two ugly cartoon clay sculptures, Xu Chen had to admit that his artistic cells were inherently deficient.
At this time, most of the circles of pottery clay were densely packed by the fire pit.
At first, the group of children thought Xu Chen was bored and playing with it, but as he pinched more and more things and the style became more and more complicated, they were shocked and they all squatted in a circle, looking at it without blinking.
Especially the two ugly clay figures, a group of children kept exclaiming, and their eyes were full of small stars, and they felt a urge to grab it quickly.
"Touch, beat up!"
Xu Chen also placed the two little clay men on the stone slabs by the fire pit, and then stared at him in the language he invented.
"quack!"
A group of children shrank their necks and nodded quickly, then squatted in a circle around the fire pit and continued to watch.
Xu Chen's every move and every group of adults naturally saw clearly, so when they were busy, there would occasionally be people who came to watch it curiously.
It was not Xu Chen's first to pinch things with mud. In fact, humans have had this tradition in ancient times, but this thing is easy to break even after drying. It is usually just a fun time when bored. So after watching it for a while, these adults didn't care about it. Apart from the strange shapes of these things, they just thought Xu Chen was also having fun.
The heavy rain took more than an hour before it slowly stopped.
The rumbling thunder went northwest, and lightning gradually disappeared into the horizon.
The rain collects the clouds disperse, and the world becomes clearer and more thorough than usual.
The sky is as green as a flawless gem.
The mountains and forests are lush and green.
The rolling mountains and ridges around are as if washed by water, layer by layer like ink paintings.
The river at the foot of the mountain seemed to be much wider, with birds flying in the sky, and groups of animals on the river beach began to feed leisurely.
In the canyon on the side, the sound of running water rushing and impacting came.
This wild land of prehistoric civilization suddenly became more natural and wild after a heavy rain.
The open space in front of the cave has been washed clean by rain. The bark, fruit shells and wooden sticks that were discarded on weekdays were all swept away, revealing the clean rocky ground, which looks extremely refreshing.
A group of primitive people came out of the cave one after another. Some put the wolf corpses on the stone and began to break their stomachs and peel them off. Some began to chew trees and cut down weapons and tools, and some began to rub ropes and weave baskets.
The whole cave instantly returned to its usual tranquility and excitement.
And the most exciting thing is the wind and a group of hunters.
Today, the bow and arrow officially debuted for the first time, eradicating the most threatening wolf pack near the habitat. Under this shock of joy and excitement, everyone went crazy. In order to hunt better in the future, they needed to make better bows and arrows.
The hardest bow that made contributions to shoot the beheaded wolf today has been scrapped.
The back of the bow has cracked due to the excessive load and its power has been greatly reduced, so a stronger hard bow needs to be remade.
Moreover, in order to make more bows and arrows in the future, they also need to stock up more suitable materials.
bows, arrows, arrows, tail feathers, bowstrings, etc.
Therefore, after the sky cleared, a group of hunters also went out with bows and arrows and stone axes to practice bows and arrows and find materials.
Xu Chen led the pony outside the cave, tied it to the edge of the spring, and then directed a group of children to find some wild grass in the woods and throw it beside them.
Although he was frightened after being injured, the foal began to chew on wild weeds after discovering that these aliens would not hurt him.
Xu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It is said that wild horses are cruel and have a big temper, but they seem to be more docile when they grow up with them. As long as they are used to living with humans, they can gradually keep more people in the future. At that time, they can not only ride, but also use them to carry things, so that the exploration range can be expanded several times.
Although Xu Chen only followed him down the mountain twice, he had actually figured out the range of activities of these primitive people, that is, the diameter will not exceed ten kilometers.
Most of the time I only ended at the edge of the river outside the valley entrance.
The only tribes that have exchanges should have a roughly sphere of activity.
Therefore, there are very few exchanges between tribes.
Because it takes a whole day to travel dozens of miles.
In the wilderness, poisonous snakes and beasts emerge one after another, and there are many crises. They will lose their lives if they are accidentally killed.
Therefore, the water thrown by a married man.
These men who married into the Muba tribe basically never return to their original tribe, but instead hunted here for home and served as stallions and became a happy and simple tribe hunter.
If the emergence of bows and arrows makes humans stronger.
Then the appearance of horses allows humans to go further.
Now that there are bows and arrows, the horse seems not far away.
I hope I can ride this pony out for hunting next year.
Chapter completed!
