Chapter 078 Life is getting more and more convenient now!
dusk.
In the thunder siege, near the reeds on the shore, six members of the Fangfeng clan embarked on a bamboo raft toward Wang Mangguo.
The red sunset shines through the reeds and leaves golden waves on the water.
On the bamboo raft, Shaokang held bamboo poles, barbarian bulls, mulberry, rulu and gravel were paddling.
The patriarch sat in the middle of the bamboo raft against a pile of items.
The patriarch sighed:
"With wooden oars helping paddle, the bamboo raft is so fast. It seems that you can arrive in Wangmangguo tomorrow at noon."
"This wooden oar is easy to make now. One person can make one in just a long time. I didn't dare to think about it before!"
Lulu said: "Qing, Qing said... I said something called a boat, so it's better to be fast. Qing said that if there is that kind of boat, it's enough to get to Wangmang Kingdom for most of the day... enough!"
He was promoted by Ye Qing to become the manager of the wooden area, and Lulu gradually stopped being afraid of talking.
Everyone immediately became interested and each looked at him.
Li asked anxiously:
"Why didn't you make it? Such a good thing has to be made long ago! Is it because you guys in Muzu District who learn skills too slowly and have poor skills to make it?"
Lulu's face turned red all of a sudden:
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Qing said that it takes a kind of oil to make a boat. There are some trees outside the tribe. Which trees will bear the fruit that cannot be eaten. We all think that it is useless, but Qing said that it is very useful."
"Qing said that the hard cores in that kind of fruit can be dried and fried and squeezed out the oil. The oil will not break or become odorous, and can be left for a long time."
"The green is called the kind of tung tree, and the oil squeezed is called tung oil!"
"Qing said that tung oil is required to build a ship. A well-built boat requires repeated brushing of tung oil several times so that the boat does not leak water and prevents the boat board from decaying. A boat can be used for a long time!"
"The tung seeds are not ripe yet, so you can't squeeze oil."
Li hesitated and asked, "Is that kind of fruit tree that has white pulp, tastes very bitter, vomits and pulls after eating, and will die if you eat too much?"
Lulu looked at Li in confusion: "How do you know it's bitter?"
Li smiled awkwardly: "I've eaten it before!"
Lulu immediately opened her eyes wide: "Everyone in the tribe knows that kind of fruit cannot be eaten, why are you... why are you still going to eat it?"
Li touched his head: "Isn't that curious?"
Shaokang, who was holding a bamboo pole at the end of the bamboo raft, shouted in unison: "Then why aren't you dead?"
Looking at the two good friends, Li said angrily:
"Just take a bite, I vomited immediately. It's so bitter. Do you just hope I die?"
Shaokang and Lulu laughed together.
Seeing the two of them laugh, Li laughed as well.
The patriarch leaned comfortably against a bunch of items and listened to the three teenagers laughing with a smile.
After a while, I looked at the sunset that was about to set and told everyone, "Find a place in front and spend the night."
Soon, the bamboo raft stopped on a shore.
Sang and Manniu carried bows and arrows, and went ashore with spears.
Their bows are still the original bows, but the arrows have been replaced with bronze arrows.
The spear on his hand was also a bronze spearhead, but Ye Qing asked them to apply a layer of mud to cover the golden light and look gray.
From a distance, outsiders will only see it as a strange stone spear.
On the small soil slope on the shore, the two of them slapped the surrounding grass with their spear handles. Seeing that there was no movement, they returned to the bamboo raft on the shore to carry the items on the bamboo raft.
Soon, a few people moved the items to the small earth slope and then worked together to drag the bamboo raft to the shore.
Bamboo rafts cannot be placed in the water at night. If they are blown away by the wind and waves, it will be more troublesome.
He took out the axe and sickle he carried, cleared the dirt slope into a large enough open space, and the six people began to make a fire and cook.
Shaokang used stones to build a fire pit, then used three wooden sticks to form a rack, hung a not-so-large bronze pot, and then piled up dried reed poles in the fire pit.
He took out a bamboo tube, pulled out the lid, revealing the pony grass rod with sparks flashing inside.
This bamboo tube is a simple fire note made by the Ye Qing Cult.
The pineapple and thunder shore are everywhere. The pineapple sticks are lit and stuffed into a bamboo tube to seal it. When the oxygen is insufficient, the pineapple sticks can burn slowly for a long time.
The cattail stick is a natural fire fold.
The cattail has an alias for the image, water candle.
With simple fire slices made of cattail sticks, it is no longer as difficult to create a fire in the wild as before.
Shaokang grabbed a handful of reed flowers and blew it gently on the Mars of the stick, and the reed flowers burned violently.
He quickly stuffed the lit reed flowers under the reed poles in the fire pit, and soon a fire broke out in the fire pit.
The sauna was holding a bronze dagger and cutting dried fish. Seeing Shaokang easily make a good fire, he sighed:
"It's really convenient to make a fire in the wild now! Unlike before, I tried my best to drill a fire with wood for a long time."
"A thing as simple as fire pie, this cattail is everywhere. Why didn't anyone do it before?"
He looked at the bronze pot filled with water and hung on the rack, and said, "With this pot, you can eat and cook in the wild!"
Shaokang gave Sang a blank look:
"This is specially cast by Qing taking care of the old man without tooth. Do you think it is to let you eat and cook in the wild?"
Due to the death of his sister, Shaokang has never had a good face to Sang, his brother-in-law.
Sang smiled awkwardly, glanced at the patriarch and said nothing more.
Manniu kept holding a spear and walking back and forth on the small earth slope, his eyes kept patrolling the surrounding grass.
It is very unsafe in the wild and you need to be vigilant at all times.
The six people did not hunt and cooked the dried fish they carried, which was considered supper.
After boiling the dried fish after eating, the bronze pot was removed, and some hot Polygonum multiflorum and Artemisia annua were added to the fire to drive away insects and ants. The six people began to take turns to rest.
The patriarch leaned comfortably on a pile of items, held a gourd, drank water in small sips, and took a few sips, then used a wooden plug to tighten the mouth of the gourd.
The gourd is now a popular container in the tribe. It is sturdy and easy to carry and is the best container for water when going out.
"Life is becoming more and more convenient now!"
The patriarch sighed, and then asked Shaokang: "By the way, did Ah Rong marry to that tribe?"
"Qingqi Kingdom!"
"Qingque Country? Qingque Country is very far away! How did you see Ahn?"
"Just the last time I paid the tribute, I was in Wangmangguo!"
The patriarch frowned:
"This is wrong. Ahn has already married into the Qingque Kingdom. Why did you meet in Wangmang Kingdom and still have a child?"
The patriarch's suspicion is normal. There is no saying that he will return to his parents' home in this era. When a woman gets married, she basically has no possibility of returning to her original tribe. Not to mention this habit, the primitive and wild environment outside the tribe does not allow frequent contact.
And it is even more impossible to bring a child.
Even if the husband dies, the child is still from the tribe. How can a woman be taken away with her?
A woman is walking in the wild with her children. Wouldn’t she feed the wolf?
"ah!"
