Chapter 20 Spear making, clay pot fired successfully
After breakfast, he came to the clay brick and stretched out his hand to test the temperature outside the clay brick. It was a bit warm. He felt that he could start the kiln when he came back in the afternoon.
He climbed up into the forest at the back, and with one move he was as fierce as a tiger. He broke a dead tree with several kicks, and then used the wild boar's tusks to 'chop' three wooden sticks with a diameter of two to three centimeters and came back.
Those three wooden sticks were all extremely strong and hard, and weighed more than ordinary wooden sticks. He couldn't identify what kind they were. The leaves were not big and looked a bit like small fishes.
In order to scrape off these three wooden sticks, he tried his best to break the three sticks.
He carried the dead wood back, kicked it violently, and turned it into several pieces of dead wood. He carried it back to the cave and left it there.
Then he cut out six short sticks about one meter long from the three wooden sticks about two to three centimeters in diameter, and then put one end of these straight wooden sticks into the fire to burn.
When it burns for a while, rub it on the ground a few times. When it burns for a while, rub it on the ground a few times...
After repeated grinding, five short spears with both ends shaped into tapered shapes and weighing nearly a kilogram were finally formed.
In order to increase the sharpness of the short spear's cone, he also used wild boar tusks to slowly scrape out several grooves on the short spear's cone.
Originally, he thought he could continue to explore the mountains and forests behind today and try to hunt with these short spears. Unexpectedly, after making these six short spears, it was already noon.
So, he roasted the remaining kilograms of goose meat by the fire and started lunch.
After lunch, he came to the mud building.
After testing the temperature, he gently tapped the thin layer of mud with a wooden stick.
The clay embryos instantly shattered, and he gently peeled them off, revealing several pieces of clay art made by himself wrapped in plant ash.
He dug through the ashes of vegetation and found seven pieces of art. In the end, only three and a half were successfully fired. Two complete pottery basins, one complete pottery pot, and one with a small piece broken off the mouth.
Clay pots. Fortunately, the largest clay pot did not break.
He held the clay pot that was 40 centimeters high, 30 centimeters wide at the mouth, and over 40 centimeters in the belly, and smiled.
Then he carried two clay pots and came to the lake. He cleaned the inside and outside of the pots with the mud from the lake, then filled them with water and placed them by the lake and watched silently.
After a while, when the water in the pots still did not drop, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he carried the two pots of water back to the cave and placed the filled pots in the corner of the cave.
Only then did he realize that he wanted to make a lid for the clay pot.
After clicking his lips, he had no choice but to leave the cave and continue to take the remaining two pottery pots to the lake. After cleaning them, he tried again. After there was no leakage, he went back with the two pots of water.
.
After preparing the water, he put the bamboo basket on his back and went to the lake to collect stones and put them back into the stove.
After carrying a basket of stones and returning, he went to the bamboo forest, dug out a lot of yellow mud, went to the lake and mixed it with water, then carried it back to the cave and stacked it with the stones to make a simple stove.
The stove was stacked at the foot of the wall near the door. After stacking the stove, he put the big clay pot on the stove and started to boil water. When the water boiled, he threw the bitter herbs into the boiling water.
Not long after, a sour foot odor filled the cave.
The little white snake disliked the smell and escaped from the cave early to cool down in the grass.
After the smell was completely wafted, Yun Buliu used chopsticks to pick up the bitter vegetables in the jar and soaked them in cold water.
After he was busy with these trivial matters, he decided to go back to find some meat.
Originally, he wanted to go directly to the Goose Village warriors, but he looked at the position of the sun in the sky and estimated the time. After it seemed that there were still two or three hours before dark, he decided to let those Goose Village go for the time being.
Warriors, go to the mountains and forests behind to try your luck.
If it really doesn't work, it won't be too late to bring bad luck to those stupid geese after I get back.
So, he picked up the fish basket, put six short spears into the fish basket, left the cave, and climbed up to the forest behind the cave.
The little fur ball on the tree saw him appearing with the fish basket on his back, so he jumped down from the tree, jumped on top of him, then got into the fish basket, and climbed out of the fish basket not long after.
In the woods at the back of the mountain, the trees are generally small, not so exaggeratedly big.
There are many small animals living in the forest, and he can encounter them when he often runs to find firewood.
Sure enough, less than three hundred meters into the forest, he saw a fat gray rabbit chewing grass stems under a big tree.
This hare was much larger than the hares he had seen before. Its small mouth chewed wildly, and its ears stood up from time to time, as if it was always on guard.
Sure enough, the noise caused by Yun Buliu when he put down the fish basket was instantly heard by it.
I saw it standing upright and turning its head around. When nothing unusual was found, it continued to lie down, jumped two steps, and found a piece of young grass to continue gnawing.
At this time, Yun Buliu had already squatted on the ground, and the little fur ball also lay on the ground very cooperatively without making any sound, which showed how smart the little guy was.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw through the cracks in the bush that the hare had not escaped.
He slowly took out a short spear from the fish basket and visually measured the distance between the two. It was at least thirty or forty meters.
But he didn't dare to get any closer. This hare's ears were indeed ridiculously strong.
He took a slow breath to calm down, raised his short spear, took aim, and then swung his arm toward the hare.
Alas……
The sound of a short spear breaking through the air was heard.
In the blink of an eye, the short spear spanned a distance of thirty to forty meters and plunged into the side of the hare with a pop. The hare was startled and suddenly jumped to the side.
Seeing this situation, Yun Buliu couldn't help but shake his head. The strength was enough. Half of the short spear weighing nearly a kilogram was not buried in the ground, but the accuracy was a big problem.
However, just when Yun Buliu lamented that his accuracy was not good, the stupid rabbit jumped up in a hurry and actually hit the big tree next to it.
Although the stupid rabbit was not knocked unconscious directly, it was still hit hard. When it fell to the ground, it failed to jump up and run again immediately.
So he quickly pulled out the second short spear and flicked it casually.
Alas……
The short spear pierced the air again and roared towards the hare.
The next moment, the short spear rubbed its head and was stuck under the tree. He also heard a "click" sound, which probably meant that the short spear had pierced the root of the tree.
This time, although the hare was not directly shot, it was still badly damaged.
Seeing this, he picked up another short spear and ran towards the hare. When he was a few meters away from it, it struggled from the ground again, so he raised his hand and fired another short spear.
This time, the short spear pierced its neck smoothly and penetrated into the ground at the same time.
The hare only struggled a few times before he went up and completely strangled its neck.
He put away the three short spears and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that even the one that had penetrated into the root of the tree did not suffer much damage to the spear tip.
He carried the fat hare and estimated its weight. He was amazed to find that its weight was equivalent to that of the Goose Village warriors.
He threw the hare into the fish basket, and the fish basket was half full.
He checked the time and saw that it was still early before dark, so he hung the fish basket on a small tree, then grabbed two short spears in one hand and walked deeper into the woods.
Not long after, he encountered another wild deer. Although the wild deer was not very big, it was about the size of a calf.
The wild deer was very alert. When Yun Buliu accidentally stepped on a branch, the sound of the branch breaking frightened it so much that it turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Yun Buliu had no choice but to get up and give chase.
He jumped over some shrubs that didn't look high.
Fortunately, the shrubs in this forest are not as dense as the woods behind the cliff.
One person and one deer, running wildly in the forest.
If his body hadn't mutated, he would never have been able to catch up with the wild deer.
Finally, the woods ahead began to become sparse and the number of shrubs increased.
Alas……
The sound of a short spear piercing the air whizzed forward.
puff……
The wild deer made a sudden turn, easily dodged the spear, and burrowed into the bushes.
Seeing this, Yun Buliu felt a little regretful. He stepped forward and pulled out his short spear, but did not pursue it anymore.
This place is already at the edge of the woods.
Just when he pulled out the short spear from the ground and wanted to turn back, he suddenly discovered that there were several wild deer grazing on the grass in the distance.
His eyes lit up and he sneaked over.
Suddenly, he felt that something was not right about those wild deer. Because he found that those wild deer were not eating grass, but seemed to be licking a bare muddy ground.
