This is the first rain Xu Chen has seen since traveling through time.
It was so violent and terrifying.
However, a group of primitive people were obviously very familiar with this kind of weather. They rushed into the cave in a swarm and threw a total of eight wild wolves, large and small, at the edge of the cave. Then they started shaking the water together, shaking their heads, shaking their butts, shaking their legs and stamping their feet.
The rain and fog were falling, and the scene was spectacular.
"Eh~~"
The injured foal was also untied from the rope around its legs, got up, limped and neighed in fear.
Ye and a group of children were overjoyed and swarmed around him.
Xu Chen dragged the foal to a corner of the cave and tied it to a big rock. He told a group of children not to get too close. Then he turned on the vibrator mode and used the physical vibration motion of polymers to dry his wet body.
To go out, you basically rely on walking, to get around, you basically rely on shouting, for entertainment, you basically rely on your hands, and to stay warm, you basically rely on shivering.
I always thought it was a joke made by netizens.
But right now, it's all true.
Even worse.
These primitive people were so poor that they didn't even have a cloth to wipe their faces with.
It was even impossible for him to take a sip of hot water right now.
Because apart from the animal skins wrapped around him, there was almost nothing left.
Seeing so many wolf corpses, Muba and a group of women were frightened and excited. They gathered around a group of men to ask questions and care. After a chaotic exchange, the men scattered around to find a place to rest. The women and a few old and weak people who stayed in the cave
The men began to collect the prey and the wild fruits they had picked.
When a woman discovered that two of the backpacks were filled with dirt, she couldn't help but started yelling. It seemed that she was complaining about a group of unreliable men. However, she learned that Xu Chen had dug them out specially.
After that, a group of women kept silent, and under the arrangement of Mother Ba, they carried it to the cave wall where he often wrote and put it away.
The little pony was so frightened that it limped around in circles and trembled all over while being watched by a group of children.
Xu Chen wrung out her fur skirt, picked up an armful of hay from a nearby hay nest and threw it next to the pony. She then went to crush some herbs such as the Isatis root of the field seven thistles that she had picked and dried some time ago.
, mixed some plant ash and applied it on the pony's wound. After observing that the wound was not bleeding much, he turned around and went about his own business.
He didn't realize it on weekdays, but this heavy rain gave him a sudden and irresistible need for hot water.
It would be so pleasant if I could take a hot bath, make a cup of hot tea, and smoke a cigarette at this time.
Or you can stew a hot pot of wolf meat bones with aniseed onions and ginger, and have a hot meal, which is even more beautiful in life.
The more he thought about it, the more he drooled. He quickly found a rocky ground, swept it with hay, and then poured the dirt back into a basket.
The soil is completely soaked after being exposed to rain, so there is no need to water it at all.
After cleaning up some grassroots, stones, etc. mixed in, knead and beat it repeatedly like kneading noodles, and slowly make it into a ball of wet mud that is semi-dry but not thin.
Although I have never made pottery, I did play with urine mud when I was a child, so there won’t be much problem with the procedure.
And based on his knowledge, the clay dug now should be fine.
What is currently lacking 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 and aluminum oxides undergo sexual change and condense into a ceramic body.
However, there is no furnace at the moment, so there is a high probability that the firing will not be successful in this trial.
But he has enough time, and as long as the soil can be used, he believes he will succeed.
Dig out a lump of the mixed wet mud, then knead it into a ball, and then slowly shape it into the shape of a bowl.
Within a few minutes, a crooked and shriveled mud bowl appeared in front of Xu Chen.
A group of children were originally gathered around the pony, but when they saw Xu Chen starting to play in the mud, they all swarmed around. They all seemed eager to try, and they were obviously eager to do something.
However, under Xu Chen's eyes full of desire to beat others, a group of children could only squat around and watch helplessly.
As the new kid king.
Xu Chen has recently formed absolute authority in the hearts of a group of children, and no one dares to challenge him easily.
So ugly!
Looking at his debut clay sculpture, Xu Chen's face twitched for a long time. After observing it for a while, he carefully rested it with a bone knife, and then placed it on the stone slab next to the fire pit to bake.
Generally speaking, it is best for pottery clay to be dried in the shade, so that the dehydration is more even and less likely to crack, but he couldn't wait any longer.
With such heavy rain, it is estimated that it will not dry out for two or three days.
Next, he made ten kinds of utensils, large and small, in one go, including bowls, plates, cups, and jugs. The sizes were not very large, because the soil was dry and thin and difficult to control. If they were made too big, they would deform or even collapse.
In the end, there was still a lump of mud as big as his fist, and it felt like it was not enough to squeeze anything, so he simply squeezed two small savages, just like the savages in The Croods, with big beards and fur skirts, but they were very abstract and almost looked like savages.
The facial features are not visible, and the body proportions are completely uncoordinated.
Art is indeed not my strong point!
Looking at these two outrageously ugly cartoon clay sculptures, Xu Chen had to admit that his artistic abilities were inherently deficient.
At this time, more than half a circle of pottery clay bricks were densely placed beside the fire pit.
At first, a group of children thought Xu Chen was just playing around out of boredom, but as he made more and more things, and the styles became more and more complex, they were all shocked, and they all squatted in a circle with bated breaths to watch.
Not even blinking.
Especially the two ugly clay figurines made a group of children scream in exclamation, their collective eyes were filled with stars, and they had the urge to grab them as soon as possible.
"Move the quack, beat the quack!"
Xu Chen placed the two little clay figurines on the stone slab beside the fire pit, and then glared and warned them in a language he invented.
"quack!"
A group of children shrank their necks and nodded quickly together, then squatted in a circle around the fire pit and continued to watch.
Naturally, a group of adults could clearly see Xu Chen's every move, so occasionally someone would come up curiously to watch while he was busy.
Using mud to knead things is not Xu Chen's first creation. In fact, humans have had this tradition since ancient times. However, this thing can easily break even after it dries. It is usually just for fun when you are bored. So after watching it for a while,
The adults didn't pay much attention to these things. Apart from the strange shapes of these things, they just thought Xu Chen was doing it for fun.
The heavy rain continued for more than an hour before slowly stopping.
The rumble of thunder moved northwest, and the lightning gradually disappeared from the horizon.
The rain has cleared and the clouds have dispersed, and the sky and earth have become clearer and clearer than usual.
The sky is as blue as a flawless gem.
The mountains and forests are lush and green.
The rolling mountains all around also seem to have been washed by water, layer upon layer like an ink painting.
The river at the foot of the mountain seems to be much wider, birds are flying in the sky, and there are groups of animals on the river beach starting to look for food leisurely.
In the canyon on the side, the sound of rushing and crashing water could be heard.
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 the rain. The bark, fruit shells, and wooden sticks that are usually discarded have all been swept away, revealing a clean rocky ground, which looks extremely refreshing.
A group of primitive people came out of the cave one after another. Some put the wolf carcass on the stone and began to disembowel it, skin it and remove the bones. Some began to gnaw and chop down trees to make weapons and tools, and some began to twist ropes to make baskets.
.
The entire cave front instantly returned to its usual peace and bustle.
The most exciting thing is Feng and a group of hunters.
Today, bows and arrows were officially unveiled for the first time. They eradicated the most threatening wolves near the habitat. Under the impact of this joy and excitement, everyone went crazy. In order to hunt better in the future, they need to make better bows and arrows.
.
The hardest bow that I used to kill the first wolf today has been scrapped.
The back of the bow has cracked due to overload, and its power has been greatly reduced, so it is necessary to make a new stronger bow.
And in order to make more bows and arrows in the future, they need to reserve more suitable materials.
Bow body, arrow shaft, arrowhead, tail feathers, bow string, etc.
Therefore, after the sky cleared up, a group of hunters also went out with bows and arrows and stone axes to practice bows and arrows and search for materials in the mountains and forests.
Xu Chen led the pony outside the cave and tied it to the spring. Then he directed a group of children to go to the woods to find some weeds and throw them aside.
Although the foal was frightened after being injured, the foal began to eat weeds after realizing that these aliens would not hurt it.
Xu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It is said that wild horses have violent and violent personalities, but it seems that if they are raised from an early age, they should be relatively docile. As long as they get used to living with humans, they can gradually be kept in captivity in the future, and then they can not only be ridden, but also used for transportation.
Things, that way the scope of exploration can be expanded several times.
Although Xu Chen only followed them down the mountain twice, he had actually figured out the activity range of this group of primitive people, which was no more than ten kilometers in diameter.
Most of the time, we only stopped at the edge of the river outside the mouth of the valley.
The only tribes that have exchanges with each other should have roughly the same scope of activities.
Therefore, there are very few interactions between tribes.
Because it’s dozens of miles back and forth, it takes a whole day just to travel.
In the wilderness, there are endless poisonous snakes and beasts, and there are many dangers. You can lose your life if you are not careful.
Therefore, the married man throws out the water.
These men who marry into the Muba tribe will basically never return to their original tribe. Instead, they will hunt and look after the family and work as stallions here, becoming happy and simple tribal hunters.
If the emergence of bows and arrows makes human beings more powerful.
So the emergence of horses allows humans to go further.
Now that we have bows and arrows, horses seem to be not far behind.
I hope I can ride this pony out hunting next year.
