The cold wind blew across the ground, picking up some fine snowflakes. The wind blew through the bare branches of the trees, making a whining sound, like someone crying, which sounded a bit scary.
In a dark cave, a pile of flames continued to burn, making it appear to be filled with smoke.
People try to sit, squat or lie down in caves.
Even if it was necessary to walk back and forth, everyone would lower their bodies as much as possible and walk around the cave with their waists bent.
This is because if you stand up too high, your eyes will be easily hit by the diffuse smoke.
After being exposed to smoke, the eyes will not only hurt, but also shed tears, which is very uncomfortable.
“#￥%@#……”
In the tribe, next to the fire, a man was talking loudly, and sometimes he was making gestures with his hands.
Next to this man, sat the female leader of the Grass Tribe.
At this time, the female leader of the Grass Tribe looked at the man who was talking with longing in her eyes.
Not just her, but the rest of the tribe as well.
They were all deeply attracted by what this man said.
The man who is talking is originally from the Bark Tribe.
When they were in the original tribe, Shupi often told them about the Qingque tribe. As time went by, they began to write down what Shupi told them.
Then serve as a talking point and tell these things to everyone in the Grass Tribe.
In fact, similar words were said long after they joined the Grass Tribe. Many people in the Grass Tribe had longed for the kind of life and tribe they were talking about.
But at that time, their tribe had just acquired fish cages, bows and arrows through these people, and the amount of food they obtained had experienced an explosive growth.
Compared with their previous living conditions, there has been a qualitative leap.
Under such circumstances, although they yearned for the life of the Qingque tribe at a higher level, they did not go too far first.
But things are different now. On the one hand, the cold that arrived early destroyed a lot of the life they thought was very good, making them taste hunger again.
On the other hand, they have lived this kind of life for a year, and they have a deeper yearning for the life of the Qingque tribe at a higher level.
This may be the dissatisfaction of human beings.
Able to record in the format recorded in stone.
Han Cheng is happy to hear about such things. After all, if you want to make the Qingque tribe stronger and develop for a longer time, you cannot rely on one person alone.
More people need to make changes and work together to develop the tribe better.
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, Han Cheng never said this in the tribe, nor did the people in the tribe summarize it.
However, after Han Cheng conducted some popular science on natural knowledge, many people in the tribe thought that the world is so big and they want to see it.
Among them, Shitou, a guy with considerable talent in these areas, is the most impatient.
After the beginning of spring, leaving the tribe and heading south to find a place for the tribe to survive and resist the cold in a strange place is an excellent opportunity to go out.
You can take this opportunity to go outside and see more.
Moreover, Shitou also wanted to participate in such a major event that was related to the survival of the entire tribe and make a great contribution to the tribe, so he especially wanted to follow this experience.
Now it just so happens that Spade has learned to record the weather under his step-by-step guidance, and he can leave with peace of mind.
In fact, Spades was able to learn these things in such a short period of time, partly because of his interest and talent, and partly because Shitou wanted to go out and see.
Stimulated by such a desire, Professor Shitou played spades very hard.
He even brought out the spirit of protracted war that Han Cheng talked about every day and tirelessly.
Under such circumstances, how could it be possible that Spades' progress would not be rapid.
After watching the stone and the two of them go out, Han Cheng stood up and got some water, then took some rough ink ingots and ground the ink in an inkstone made of pebbles.
I was thinking about something while grinding.
After polishing the ink, he found a piece of paper and spread it on the table in front of him, pressing it down with a paperweight made of rhino horn.
Then he picked up a thin brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write seriously.
What he wrote is about the difficulties that may be encountered on the way here and the corresponding solutions.
At the same time, it is also necessary to know how many people should be brought, and what weapons should these people bring...
Things seem very trivial, but you can't help but think about them.
In future generations, if you want to travel, you must prepare a travel strategy. In today's era, especially when you and others are going to unknown areas, you should not prepare as many situations as possible that you may encounter in advance.
Taking it into consideration and giving a solution would be really irresponsible for one's own life.
There are many aspects that need to be considered. Fortunately, there is still plenty of time now, so Han Cheng can think carefully.
After thinking and writing like this for a while, inspiration suddenly appeared in Han Cheng's mind.
He stopped writing, sat here looking a little excited and thought for a while, and then put down what he was doing.
Instead, he took a new piece of paper, found a hard charcoal pen, and began to draw slowly and carefully on it.
Having learned from past experiences and lessons, Han Cheng now chooses to use charcoal pens with very thin heads when drawing on paper.
And when I started writing, I didn't use too much force on my hand and only made shallow marks on it.
This facilitates modification.
After the outline is almost complete, I will change to a thicker charcoal pen and trace it along the previously sketched area.
In this way, those areas that were drawn incorrectly before will no longer be noticeable.
Children without rubber cannot afford to be injured, so we can only use this method.
After sketching for almost an hour, Han Cheng put down the charcoal pencil in his hand.
Looking at the pattern on the paper, Han Cheng smiled slightly with satisfaction.
With such a thing, you will save a lot of energy on your next trip. After all, this thing is a useful tool for traveling.
After looking at the drawing in his hand for a while, Han Cheng, who was very happy, took the drawing in his hand and went to find Bai Xuemei.
Myolie is over a year old now, and she is much easier to manage than before. At least she can walk slowly on her own and no longer has to be held.
Han Cheng came to the room where he lived, picked up the little Xing'er who walked to the door of the room, kissed the little guy's face hard twice, and then used his fingers to tickle the little guy's armpits a few times.
, which made the little girl giggle with joy.
Amidst the laughter of the little girl, Han Cheng carried her to the edge of the kang, handed the drawing in his hand to the two people who were sitting there, sewing spring with needle and thread for Little Wandou and Little Myolie.
The white snow girl wearing the same clothes.
After Bai Xuemei took it, she unfolded it and saw something similar to a tribal leather bag drawn on it.
Different from the leather bag, this bag drawn by Brother Cheng on the paper is not cylindrical, but looks like a half cylinder.
And on the flat surface of the half cylinder, two wide belts were drawn, with a very strange style.
"Brother Cheng, what is this?"
After watching for a while, Bai Xuemei raised her head and looked at Han Cheng who was holding little Xing'er happily and asked.
"It's just a backpack, you can use it to carry things when you go out.
After loading the items, you can carry them on your shoulders and stick them to your back without having to use your hands to support them.
Because the weight is directly distributed to the two shoulders, carrying the same weight on the body with a backpack is much lighter than carrying it by hand or on the shoulder.
Moreover, carrying things with a backpack leaves both hands free.
The free hand can be used to hold weapons or do other things, which is very convenient.
When spring comes and we go south to find a new place suitable for tribes to live, I plan to let everyone who sets out carry a backpack like this."
Han Cheng explained to Bai Xuemei with a smile.
In later generations, backpacks were simply a tool for traveling, especially when hiking, backpacks were indispensable.
This trip after the beginning of spring is much more exciting than those hiking trips in later generations. After all, this is really primitive, the kind that is guaranteed to be fake.
If all these people who go out carry a backpack, it will save a lot of energy and free everyone's hands, which is of great benefit.
It was precisely because of this that Han Cheng was so happy. He thought that he would not do anything else in the future, but would focus on drawing the pattern of the backpack, and then come to Bai Xuemei and ask her to make it.
Bai Xuemei's hands are very skillful. Not only in weaving, she is among the best in the tribe. Even in sewing and mending, she is also among the best in the entire Qingque tribe.
So there is no need to bother other people in the tribe with such matters.
After listening to Han Cheng's explanation, Bai Xuemei immediately became interested.
Such a good thing, no matter what, we must make it!
After all, this is a matter related to the safety of those who are about to go out.
Immediately, I started asking Han Cheng for more information about backpacks.
Han Cheng also explained and described Bai Xuemei based on the appearance of the backpack he had seen in later generations.
After doing this for a while, Bai Xuemei, who roughly figured out what was going on, started to find materials and start making this backpack.
Han Cheng was on the sidelines, not giving a few words of guidance.
There is no way. Although he is not a tailor, he can't handle the many backpacks he has seen.
The materials used by Bai Xuemei to make the backpack are very luxurious, and they are made of leather.
This is real leather, not artificial leather or the like.
The cutting is also very simple and crude.
First cut out a semicircle with a diameter of forty as the base, and then cut out a rectangular piece of animal skin that is fifty centimeters wide and about one meter long.
Then sew the animal skin into a cylinder first, then find two sticks one centimeter thick and forty centimeters long and place them inside the animal skin cylinder.
The distance between the two sticks is 39 centimeters. One end of the stick is flush with the other end of the hide, and then the two sticks are sewn there.
Of course, it is not the cylindrical kind of sewing, but the 39 cm distance between the two sticks is stretched flat and then sewn.
In this way, after the two sticks are sewn together, the original cylinder will roughly become a half cylinder split in the middle.
Then sew the previously cut base to the bottom of the semicircular cylinder, and the main body of the backpack is sewn.
One thing that needs to be explained is that what is combined with the bottom is the section where the edge of the stick is flush with the semi-cylinder.
On the ten centimeters unsewed end of the stick, Han Cheng used an awl to poke holes closer to the upper edge and threaded a rope through the holes.
In this way, you only need to pull the two ends of the rope together, and the upper opening of the entire backpack will shrink together. Then tie the rope ends, so you don't have to worry about anything falling out of it.
When sewing the entire backpack, according to Han Cheng's request, Bai Xuemei did not use a needle. Instead, she first used an awl to poke holes, and then used a small leather rope to thread them out.
The backpack sewn in this way is many times stronger than one sewn with needle and thread.
Whether it looks good or not is secondary, as long as it is solid.
After all, this is for a long-distance trip. If I don't make it strong, the bottom of the backpack suddenly falls off halfway through carrying it, which would be embarrassing.
After sewing the main body of the backpack, start sewing the backpack straps.
Backpack bags are no longer sewn with a single layer of leather, but with two layers.
Because the weight of the entire backpack will eventually be added to the two straps, double layers are needed.
When sewing the backpack bag, Han Cheng found some soft grass and asked Bai Xuemei to sew the inside of the backpack strap.
And the backpack is made very wide.
The purpose of this is to reduce the pressure on the shoulders so that the person's shoulders will not be too painful.
After Bai Xuemei sewed the two bags on, Han Cheng put it on his back and tried it on. He thought it was OK and quite comfortable.
Then I put some miscellaneous things inside.
Such as tableware, clothes, and enough rations for several days, etc. After filling the entire backpack, Han Chengcai tied the top of the backpack and then carried the backpack, which was suddenly much heavier, on his back.
, walking back and forth in the house, feeling whether it is useful or not.
After carrying it for a while, Han Cheng put it down and was still very satisfied with Bai Xuemei's craftsmanship.
"Son of God, let me try."
Wu said from the side.
Wu lives in the same house as Han Cheng, and the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the people in the tribe seem to be relatively idle. Naturally, Han Cheng cannot hide it from Wu if he makes such a noise.
In addition to Wu, Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Yuan and several others are also here to watch.
"Wu, please slow down, this backpack is heavy."
After all the miscellaneous stuffing, this backpack now weighs almost twenty kilograms.
Han Cheng carried his backpack to Wu and reminded him loudly.
Wu Xian reached out and picked up the backpack with difficulty, fully feeling the weight of the backpack, and then with Han Cheng's help, he put the novel backpack on his shoulders.
After Han Cheng let go of his hand, Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, because he found that just as Shenzi said, the backpack felt very heavy when carried by hand, but now it felt much lighter when carried by hand.
Then Wu Jiu followed Han Cheng's example and walked back and forth in the room with a bulging backpack on his back.
While walking around, I would put my hands behind my back from time to time and touch the backpack, which seemed very exciting and novel, just like a child carrying a big schoolbag for the first time.
"Okay, Son of God, this is really a good thing!"
Wu was so addicted to carrying the backpack that he took it off his shoulders after a while. He excitedly told Han Cheng how good the backpack was and praised it profusely.
The senior brothers were already itching for the actions of Han Cheng and Wu. After Wu took off his backpack, he couldn't wait to put it on his shoulders to feel this novel tool.
After putting the backpack on his shoulders, the senior brother immediately felt the benefits of this new tool.
After imitating Han Cheng and Wu, he walked around the house for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and ran out quickly with his backpack on his back...
