Chapter 57: The Wall That Does Not Open the Main Entrance
Wu stood aside and watched as the leader, the senior brother, struggled with the wall. When he saw that the strong senior brother was sweating from exhaustion and could not do anything to the newly built wall, Wu showed a heartfelt smile on his face.
.
Although this wall is not high now and cannot stop wild beasts, it has proved that what the Son of God said is true. As long as we continue to build it, this wall will one day be completed!
He looked at this small section of the wall, and then looked at the foundations that had been cleared out before building the wall, and the picture that the Son of God had described to him before appeared in his mind again -
A thick wall stands here, enclosing a safe space. Outside the wall are all kinds of ferocious beasts, but inside the wall are children who are playing safely.
The ferocious beasts listened to the laughter and laughter outside and smelled the aroma of meat, but they could only salivate and leave helplessly because they had no way to cross the wall.
A small wall separates two worlds, one is the wilderness full of danger, and the other is a warm and comfortable home...
When Wu heard this from Han Cheng at first, Wu was in disbelief. Such a place was beyond his wildest dreams. In his opinion, the place where the gods lived was nothing more than this.
Especially when the devil's curse happened some time ago, it made him even more worried.
The place where your tribe is located will be cursed by the devil. How could the scene described by the Son of God happen?
But now, the appearance of the wall has made him depressed and unhappy for more than ten days, and the knot of worry in his heart has finally been completely resolved.
The people in the tribe are all busy building the wall. The devil's curse recorded by the previous witches has not appeared. Everyone is healthy and looks much stronger than before.
These trees, which seem to have been pushed by the devil with his big hands, are indeed the blessings of the gods as the Son of God said.
Not to mention the rest, these downed trees came in handy just for building the fence.
Han Cheng looked at Wu who was grinning silently, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
The old guy should be relieved this time, right?
After confirming that the wall was effective, everyone became more energetic in their work.
Of course they are strong.
Under Han Cheng's suggestion, the original two meals a day became three meals a day.
Although they basically eat fish and don't have the flavor of animal meat, it is enough to make them happy.
After all, not long ago, they had two meals a day and sometimes went hungry.
Moreover, today’s fish meat also tastes delicious because of the presence of salt, especially the fish soup made with sun-dried salted fish at noon, which tastes particularly delicious.
In particular, there are some wild herbs that the Son of God calls wild vegetables placed in the fish soup. After being rolled in the fish soup, it tastes extremely delicious.
At the beginning, many people were unwilling to eat it. They thought that only those prey would eat grass, such as the group of deer in Yanshan that were not afraid of humans, and the number of deer in the cave that had grown to more than a dozen.
rabbit.
But after they tried eating it once, they immediately fell in love with eating the weeds that the Son of God had found.
They did not expect that these wild herbs, which the Son of God called vegetables, would taste so delicious after being soaked in fat and salty after being cooked in the soup.
To this day, if there are not a few green vegetables floating in the soup pot, they feel that the rice soup is a little less interesting.
These wild vegetables have gone from being unpopular at first to becoming a hot commodity today.
Han Cheng took the time to find these wild vegetables. There are two types in total. One looks very similar to a wild vegetable called 'grey greens' that he had eaten in later generations. The other kind Han Cheng has no comparison object, but
It doesn't taste bad.
If you go a little farther away, you can find a lot of these two kinds of dishes.
When it comes to new dishes, Han Cheng will naturally not just come and eat them for the people in the tribe. He still has to go through the process of tasting them first.
After feeding the two kinds of wild vegetables separately for half a month, not only did these rabbits have no trouble, but they also produced a litter of cubs...
There is no need to worry about the food in the tribe. The heavy rain caused a lot of flooding in the river. As a result, the flood receded. Not only were there no fewer fish in the river, but there were more fish than before.
Eight fish cages are put into the water together. In addition to three meals a day, nearly a hundred dried fish can be dried every day.
Fish cages are naturally subject to wear and tear, but with a handy fishing fanatic like Lame here, there is no need to worry at all.
With him around, not only did the number of fish cages not decrease, but they increased to as many as twelve!
If Han Cheng hadn't said that he had used so many fish cages, he would have even wanted to make ten or eight more of them, and then put them into the river to catch fish...
When building houses and walls, a lot of effort goes into the foundation.
After the foundation was dug, the tree stumps were nailed, and the formal construction of the fence began, the speed was immediately apparent.
Thanks to the tireless hard work of everyone in the tribe, the wall changes every day!
One month later, a wall about two meters high made of earth stood on the west side of the tribe.
This is the culmination of the hard work of everyone in the tribe.
Looking at the wall that stood there, blocking the line of sight, everyone felt a sense of security in their hearts for no reason.
After the first wall was completed, Han Cheng specially gave everyone a two-day holiday so that everyone could have a good rest before starting to build the south wall facing the tribe's cave.
This wall is very long, a full 500 meters, and one wall almost touches the other two walls.
However, this wall will be built in two parts, because a door needs to be left on this wall.
The door opens a little west in the middle of this wall and is two meters wide.
It's not that Han Cheng doesn't want to make the door opening wider, but that his door-making skills are really poor at this time. If the door opening is too large, without the cooperation of a strong door, it will really be detrimental to defense.
As for why the gate does not open in the middle of the wall, there are some explanations.
Han Cheng heard from the older generation that since ancient times, only the emperor used the front entrance when leaving. Therefore, except for the palace and the imperial city, ordinary people could not afford the front entrance.
Han Cheng naturally didn't believe this, but during the construction, he still left the door a little biased, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for the past.
The first two hundred meters to the west of the gate were built. The old procedure was still the same. First, dig the foundation, and then drive wooden stakes into the ground. After the wooden stakes were nailed, we started to use wooden rafts to clamp the wall.
Everyone in the tribe is already familiar with these tasks, and they are much faster to fight than when building the first wall.
Of course, another reason is that this wall is the closest to the south and is close to the river. It is convenient to carry water and can free up two people to join the wall-beating procession.
In fact, at the beginning, more people were needed to carry water, up to seven people at most!
Moreover, due to the long period of carrying water and the straw ropes woven from ropes, their hands were worn out and bloody.
After Han Cheng saw this, he patted himself on the head again...
