Chapter 47: If you want to build a wall, you must first find food
The occurrence of this incident sounded a wake-up call for Han Cheng. Previously, he only thought about development, but forgot about the tribe's own safety issues.
The safety of the tribe is the most important thing. Only when you are safe can you have the capital to do more things.
It just so happens that the problem of salt has been solved now, and the pottery is basically enough. Even if it is not enough, just use a simple clay kiln to bake two kilns. There is no need to rush to study and try new pottery-making techniques.
You can take it slow.
Han Cheng decided to focus all his work on building the wall.
Otherwise, you would be very nervous when you go out to pee at night, for fear that a wolf might suddenly jump out and push you!
The idea of building a wall was decided, but how to build it became a problem.
It is said that bricks are the strongest for building walls, but due to the current conditions in the tribe, it is simply not realistic to burn large quantities of bricks.
If bricks are not made, they can only be built with adobe, but the walls made of adobe are not strong.
Moreover, it takes a lot of effort to make adobe. If the main force in the tribe, such as the senior brother, does not come forward, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, I don’t know if we can build this wall in two years.
stand up!
Human hands! This is a hoop stuck around the neck of the tribe!
What was an extremely simple thing in later generations has become a huge project here!
If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you have to think at the root.
Han Cheng can be sure that according to his prestige in the tribe, if he proposes to build a wall now, the witch and the senior brother will not object and will be happy to support it. However, they are powerless because the senior brother and the others still need to hunt.
, to find enough food for the tribe.
Only when this premise is met can the adobe bricks be laid and the wall built.
If Han Cheng wants to have enough labor force, he needs to relieve his senior brothers and others from the heavy task of finding food every day.
To fish it out, Han Cheng needs to solve the food problem...
But the key is that this food problem is difficult to solve!
As for crops that can barely be regarded as food, we have found a kind of rapeseed, which is still primitive, and even now there is no land to grow rapeseed.
As for animal husbandry, there are only two rabbits and five rabbits that have not yet opened their eyes. The deer are not yet ready to be kept in captivity, but they can be killed for meat. With these dozens of deer supporting them, at least one
For two months, the tribe no longer had to worry about food.
But Han Cheng still couldn't bear to kill them like this.
What a group of deer! Just kill them like this... Only then can there be some hope for animal husbandry, and the industry will hit the bottom again...
Planting and animal husbandry, so far, are not even considered seedlings. It is simply impossible to rely on these two things to solve urgent needs.
Han Cheng is very melancholy now. He just wants nothing!
Han Cheng fell asleep again at night and didn't fall asleep until late at night.
After getting up in the morning, Han Cheng went to Yanshan accompanied by his senior brothers.
It happened that Uncle Lu and his younger brother were here today. When they saw the two-legged beasts that they had not seen for a few days, Uncle Lu was still a little panicked and took the initiative to greet Han Cheng, and then...
Then he put his mouth directly to the pottery pot that Han Cheng carried on his waist.
Well, Uncle Lu is not thinking about Han Cheng, but the salt water that Han Cheng brought.
These days, Uncle Deer's mouth has also been taken by Han Cheng. He is used to drinking purified salt water. When he faced the rough and smelly stone wall again, he really couldn't get rid of his tongue.
After all, Uncle Lu is also a very elegant and distinguished person.
Han Cheng habitually stretched out his hand and gently stroked Uncle Lu Guanghua's face and horns while he was immersed in drinking water.
Uncle Deer's tail was wagging happily, which showed how happy he was now.
As for whether being touched on the face will mean that the other deer will say that he is a freeloader and will not be able to survive in the deer world. The arrogant Mr. Deer is not afraid at all, because under his leadership, his group of little brothers
, all joined the ranks of selling their faces to drink salt water...
After drinking the salt water, Uncle Lu still used his mouth to touch Han Cheng. Han Cheng did not hide this time, but let Uncle Lu's wet mouth rub half of his body with water.
Han Cheng touched its face with his hand. After a while, he smiled and said, "Let's go!"
Then he called the senior brother and others who had finished feeding the other deer to go back.
After thinking about it, I still can't do anything to these deer, at least not now...
Today Han Cheng taught everyone new words, one of which is called "wall".
Shitou, the most learned person, raised his hand and asked: "Son of God, what is a wall?"
"A wall is something made of wood, earth, or stone that can isolate wild beasts from the outside and protect us from being invaded by wild beasts."
Han Cheng explained the definition of "wall" according to what he had thought before.
"With a wall, don't you have to worry about being bitten by wolves when you go out to pee at night?"
Xing still has lingering fears about her brother Chen being attacked by a wolf. When she heard Han Cheng explaining the wall, she immediately raised her hand to speak.
After she finished speaking, the other children did not laugh, because this question was not funny to them at all. They were always on guard against the beasts that they treated as food, and who would also treat them as food.
Especially for children, the threat of wild animals is no less than that of diseases.
Han Cheng nodded seriously.
"Son of God, take us to build the wall. We are not afraid of getting tired!"
After receiving Han Cheng's affirmative answer, these children looked at Han Cheng with bright eyes, full of hope.
"Build! We must build the wall!"
Han Cheng nodded and said solemnly to the children.
In front of Han Cheng, there were several sticks that were more than one meter long and about two centimeters in diameter. On the way back from Yanshan, he specially asked his senior brother and others to get them back.
Now that the eldest brother and the others have gone out to hunt again, the tribe has become a lot deserted all of a sudden.
Around him were the children he taught.
Everyone looked at the Son of God seriously, expecting him to build a wall that could keep the beasts out.
Han Cheng can't stop breaking sticks like this, but there are others in the cave that can do these things.
Because his diet has become better, his salt intake has increased, and he has intensified his physical activity, he has become much stronger than before.
Especially his two arms, which are used a lot due to his weak legs and feet, so they look particularly strong.
Han Cheng chose half of these sticks and made a mark about every twenty-five centimeters, asking him to break them at the mark.
This kind of thing is not difficult for Lame. He held the wooden stick and exerted force with both hands. With a "click" sound, the wooden stick broke from the mark.
The fracture is relatively neat. This is because before he broke it with his hands, Han Cheng had someone use a stone knife to cut a shallow cut around the mark.
