A warp stick, a rolling stick, a weft knife, a warp dividing stick, and a heddle lifting rod.
This is the main structure of this loom.
When weaving, first wrap the warp threads on the warp rod, and then tie one end to the rolling rod. The rolling roller is tied with a rope around the waist. Sit flat on the ground and step on the warp rod with both feet to divide the warp and shuttle.
Started weaving.
Of course, the details are definitely more complicated than stated, but the principle is that simple.
Ye ate her dinner and continued her spinning work in silence.
Although she was unhappy, because Xu Chen arranged a new job for her and taught her a new word, she was actually quite happy, but she just didn't want to show it.
However, no matter how hard the emoji animal hides it, she still can't hide that she has begun to forgive someone.
Therefore, while she was spinning slowly, she would occasionally glance at Xu Chen, who was sitting on a stone in the open space, chopping and chopping. She would occasionally pout, but soon she would feel sad and disappointed again.
Because Xu Chen was busy minding his own business, concentrating on playing with his long and short sticks, and was not in the mood to look at her at all.
At sunset and dusk, the remaining clouds fade away and the sky gradually darkens.
The men and women who had been busy for a day began to go into the cave to sleep together in twos and threes. Soon, the sounds of um um ah ah and inappropriate for children could be heard again, occasionally mixed with a few children's crying.
These sounds seemed to have a kind of magic power, which made the little female savage feel a little upset, and the twine slowly became tangled in a mess.
She didn't understand why she was trying to seduce him like an adult woman, but he was unwilling to sleep with her.
The men and women of the tribe express their affection to each other in this way, rolling and fighting in the grass nest every night.
In the midst of being upset, the heart-pounding and blushing sounds in the cave slowly died down, and then slowly turned into the sound of grinding teeth and snoring.
Unconsciously, the moon rose, and at a certain moment a familiar figure sat down next to her.
"Momba is bad!"
The savage girl had tears of grievance in her eyes, her head lowered, and her voice was very low.
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took her hand and walked to the front of the cave wall, pointing to the densely packed diaries on it.
"study!"
"Yeah!" The girl didn't cry this time and didn't turn around and run away.
Although she felt aggrieved, she felt that as long as she was with him all the time, she would be satisfied even if she couldn't fight in a den like grown men and women.
So that night, she learned a new word: line.
Like a thin thread wrapped around a wooden stick, it is easy to recognize.
…
When I woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside and the birds were chirping.
The weather in this primitive era is so beautiful.
Xu Chen yawned and climbed up from the hay nest, then scratched his body everywhere as he walked out of the cave.
After breakfast, a group of primitive people went back to their own business.
A group of women, children, old and weak people were left on the mountain.
A group of children pulled grass and fed the pony.
Ye sat in the bright sunshine and was spinning thread seriously.
But today it seems that my movements are much more skillful, the spindle turns quickly, and the twine is pulled evenly.
And he seemed to be in a much better mood than yesterday. When he saw Xu Chen coming out, he quickly put down the twine in his hand and trotted all the way to help him serve food.
The fur skirt fluttered in the morning breeze, and her face regained its former lightness, like a happy little beast living in the forest.
Xu Chen went to the grove to calm down, wash his hands, face and mouth. When he came back, Ye had already filled a bowl of half-dried rice and mutton soup, and carefully brought it over and handed it to him.
"Thanks!"
Xu Chen took the bowl and chopsticks, squatted down and ate hungrily.
"Wire!"
Ye brought the fully wound spindle over and showed it to him.
"very good!"
Xu Chen nodded with a smile. He quickly finished planning the rice, threw down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the stone axe, and went to the woods to chop back a piece of wood. After some chopping and polishing, it was a new spindle.
Ye took it and continued to spin the thread. Xu Chen made five threads in one breath and placed them next to Ye. Then he called Lai Gu and Ju, picked up the wooden hoe and basket and went to dig soil in the woods.
The hemp bark obtained last time was not much, and it was definitely not enough for weaving. It was just to let Ye get familiar with the process of spinning threads first. We had to wait until Muba arranged for people to collect enough bark and retting it before we could start large-scale production.
Spinning and weaving takes at least half a month.
There were very few men on the mountain today, most of them were probably looking for tree bark.
In another half month, as autumn becomes more intense, food gathering is almost over, and he will have more important arrangements by then.
Therefore, he had to use this time to make the cave according to his own ideas.
This natural cave is like a big open mouth, tilting slightly from west to east.
The deepest part is to the west, and the terrain is relatively high. The water hole is outside the lowest east cave. It is spring water that comes out of the steep rock wall. The amount of water is not large, and it is just enough for dozens of people to wash and drink on weekdays.
With the use and cleaning of a large number of pottery and tableware, the water consumption has increased a lot. It is definitely not hygienic to wash the tableware, wash hands, face, eat and drink in a puddle. Therefore, he also has the idea of renovating the water spring, but he has to wait until
Only after the lime is burned.
Now we need to build a stone wall at the entrance of the cave.
Then the fire pond will be renovated, not only to build several more stoves specifically for cooking and boiling water, but also to build a fence, which will then be covered with ceramic tiles to serve as a dining table.
There are a lot of rocks on the mountain now, so just dig out some soil.
After being busy for a while, the three of them carried more than ten baskets of soil back and forth and dumped it on an open space in front of the cave entrance.
Next, the three of them divided the work and worked together.
Lift responsibility and mud.
Gu was responsible for moving the stones.
Xu Chen chopped a piece of wood as thick as an arm and roughly chopped it into a brick knife. After a brief planning, he stretched the rope and started building the wall.
The actions of the three people naturally attracted the attention of a group of people left behind. Everyone gathered around to watch curiously. When they learned that Xu Chen was going to seal the entrance of the cave with stones, they were instantly happy.
The cave is halfway up the mountain, surrounded by dense forests. There are many snakes and insects in the summer, and rats in the autumn and winter. Especially in the summer, snakes often get into the cave where they sleep, and some people have even been bitten by snakes in their own nests.
Sometimes I am awakened by the rustling sound in the middle of the night, and when I touch a snake, it falls asleep next to me.
Although they are a group of primitive people who are relatively savage and rude, they are still very afraid of snakes and insects.
If the cave entrances are sealed with stones, there will be far fewer snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the future.
So after a group of people got excited for a while, they all started to help move rocks and dig soil, and soon there were several big piles in front of the cave.
Busy and busy, the day goes by in a blink of an eye.
The three men made great achievements and built a stone wall one foot high and more than ten meters long.
But this is not enough. According to Xu Chen's plan, the stone wall must be at least one meter high.
In the evening, people who gathered and hunted for barks came back one after another. When they saw this neat stone wall, they were all very excited and praised Xu Chen's magical creative ability.
Mother is even more happy.
Last night, when Xu Chen was explaining the painting together, she didn't quite understand it, but now she understood it completely. She hugged Xu Chen and almost gave him a few more milks.
As Xu Chen showed more and more unique talents, she actually had more and more doubts in her heart, and at the same time she became more and more nervous and entangled.
According to the tribe's marriage habits, when Xu Chen grows older, he will go to live in another tribe.
That is definitely a huge loss for the Ba people.
Because he will bring all kinds of magical skills with him, and then the advanced advantages of the Ba people will be gone.
Recently, relying on these things invented by Xu Chen, the tribe has collected much more food than in previous years. Moreover, the men have bows and arrows, and their hunting has also increased significantly recently. They have not missed a hunt almost every day, which has never happened before.
Even the wolves and many ferocious beasts at the foot of the mountain were killed.
As a result, the women's collection range expanded to almost the entire valley, and the tribe's survival ability was greatly enhanced.
What's more, how many novel creations and inventions will Xu Chen have?
How many changes will it bring to the tribe?
She couldn't imagine it at all.
The Ba people cannot afford the loss and price of Xu Chen leaving.
It would be great if Xu Chen could stay in the tribe forever.
But this is almost impossible, because with the exchanges and exchanges between tribes, these things will soon spread, and more and more tribes will want to get him, and for powerful tribes like Wu, they will use various methods to get him.
He tried to find a way to seize the threat. If he didn't agree, the Ba people might be exterminated.
So Mother Ba hugged Xu Chen, and as she thought about it, she couldn't help but burst into tears, which frightened the entire tribe.
"Mobaba quack!"
A group of women nervously gathered around the mother to caress and comfort her.
Wrapped in the old woman's arms full of body odor, Xu Chen was also bewildered by the old woman crying.
Just built a wall.
Is it worth being so happy?
When I build a house at the foot of the mountain, I will cry to death from joy.
