Amidst the sound of forging iron, the wooden boards that had been cut and rested by the lame were assembled together.
During this process, rework will be carried out from time to time to remove some inappropriate places and reassemble and rest.
Just like this, he slowly fumbled and made, and a donkey saddle gradually appeared in the carpenter's room.
In order to fit the donkey's back as closely as possible, the bottom of the donkey saddle is arched upward, and the front and rear ends of the top are convex.
Of course, the current donkey saddle is still in its most primitive state.
He brought over a donkey that was of a very common size among the donkeys, measured it several times, then made modifications, and finally let people ride on it to experience it.
Then make adjustments based on how people feel.
After such operations, the day has passed.
Fortunately, the last adjustment was done before it got dark. Next, we only needed to wrap the leather tightly on the frame and fix the stirrups on both sides to it.
After making the last adjustment, Lai couldn't help but let out a long breath, feeling relaxed and satisfied.
Then he stood up slowly with his hands on his knees and stretched greatly.
The saddle has come to fruition. After a day of burning and hammering, the second brother is also shaping the meteorite ax and chisel when it is about to get dark.
Unlike blunt weapons like meteorite hammers, axes and chisels cannot be made just by being made. If they are to be used effectively, they need to be sharpened.
However, compared with the previous creation, Kaifeng is much simpler and easier.
After dinner, the second senior brother and Hei Wa each held an axe, while the other held a chisel and began to sharpen it on the delicate whetstone.
As for lameness, thick leather is also used to wrap the donkey saddle frame.
After being wrapped on it, very sticky fish bladder glue is used to glue it, and in some places a not-too-long bronze nail is hammered into it.
With the limp movement, the saddle that originally looked very rough and crude suddenly became more beautiful.
After Lie Zai and several others from Mao Er completed the saddle, Hei Wa and the second senior brother also stopped what they were doing.
Under the light of the fire, the newly polished meteorite ax blade seemed to be shining.
"Crack!"
The second senior brother placed a wooden stick thicker than a baby's arm on the wooden pillar, and then slashed it down with an axe.
Such a thick wooden stick was directly broken into two pieces under such a blow of the axe, and the short piece flew out and fell to the ground with a clanking sound.
The fractures of the wood are very smooth.
Seeing such a scene, the eyes of everyone in the room shone with light. They had never seen such a sharp axe.
Among them, the first carpenter of the Lai tribe who often used axes was the most excited. Looking at the meteorite ax held by the second senior brother, he rubbed his hands in excitement, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
There is no way, such an ax is too attractive to a master carpenter like Lame.
The peerless beauty who was stronger than the strong, even stronger than the second senior brother, stood in front of the lame. To him, she was not as attractive as the meteorite ax held by the second senior brother.
Han Cheng took the ax that had just been sharpened from the hands of his second senior brother, felt it for a moment in his hand, and then handed it to Lame, who was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"How about giving it a try and seeing if it works."
Han Cheng said with a smile.
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Lame became even more excited. He carefully took it from Han Cheng's hand, carefully touched the head of the ax with his fingers, and carefully lifted his fingers from the edge of the axe.
Crossed.
That look and appearance had never appeared before when he was treating the woman he loved.
After touching and looking at it carefully for a while, he held the ax handle with his limp hand and began to pick up a piece of wood and chop it with the ax to better feel the performance of the ax.
The ax with a hint of light passed through the air and struck the wood. Immediately, a long section of wood was chopped down.
Lame has never experienced this feeling of ease.
Originally, he thought that the iron axes made from the iron bacteria he had used before, and later the bronze axes, were very useful.
But now, after feeling the sharpness of the meteorite ax in my hand, I immediately felt that the other axes were just scum.
This feeling is really amazing.
Therefore, after the ax struck down, Lame couldn't help raising the ax and continued to chop, again and again.
"Lame, try this chisel to see if it works."
Han Cheng took the also-polished meteorite chisel from Hei Wa's hand and looked at it while waiting for it to limp.
The result was that he was as lame as if he had taken Xuanmai, and he couldn't stop turning the axe.
After waiting for a while, Han Cheng had no choice but to interrupt and handed over the chisel in his hand.
After Han Cheng yelled like this, he stopped, touched his head and laughed sheepishly.
Then he carefully took the chisel from Han Cheng's hand, and after looking at it carefully, he found a piece of discarded wood, pressed the chisel made of meteorite iron against it, and struck it with the back of the axe, and then used the back of the ax to hit the chisel.
Conduct a trial.
Although with the meteorite ax he was mentally prepared for the sharpness of the chisel, which was also made of meteorite, he was still shocked by the sharpness of the meteorite chisel after the first ax hit.
This is really a surprise every time.
Not only was he lame, everyone else who saw this scene here was shocked by the sharpness of the meteorite weapon.
People who originally thought bronze was very useful have now changed their minds and no longer talk about bronze.
Many people are even beginning to fantasize about how wonderful it would be if the tribe could use such meteorite weapons in the future.
With this thought in mind, everyone immediately became more impatient for the upcoming trip to the north.
In the past, everyone was looking forward to the people who were left behind by the tribe the most for this trip to the north. But now, after seeing the usefulness of the meteorite tools with their own eyes, everyone's focus suddenly changed.
.
Prioritize finding meteorites over bringing those tribesmen back.
It can be said that they are all very fickle.
"Lame, these tools are mainly used in your carpentry room. I will ask the second senior brother to make saws, planes, etc. later."
Han Cheng looked at Lame who was as happy as a little baby, smiled and said loudly, handing over the use of these tools to the carpenter's room headed by Lame.
The reason why I say this is because these tools were originally built for them, and things like axes cannot be used carelessly, especially carpentry axes.
The most annoying thing for carpenters is having someone else use their own axe.
It is a trivial matter to use an ax that is not sharp. The most important thing is that those who do not know how to take good care of the tool can easily make gaps in the ax blade.
This is the most annoying thing.
Because once there is a chip on the edge of the axe, the board or other things cut out with the axe will be uneven.
In the later generations of Han Cheng, one of the elders in the family was even a half-carpenter, so he knew a lot about these things.
It is precisely because of this that he said these words at this time, making these newly crafted meteorite tools special tools for the carpenter's room.
Of course, after building the tools needed for the carpenter's room and the wood-based stonemason's room, Han Cheng would have his second brother forge two or three more meteorite axes for daily use in the tribe.
I was already extremely happy. When I heard Han Cheng say that he would wait a moment before letting the second senior brother build some meteorite tools and make these tools exclusive for the carpenter's room, he became even more happy. He held them in one hand for a while.
Holding the ax in one hand and the chisel in the other, I was just having fun and didn't know what to say.
The carpenters who were brought out by Mao Er were all very happy.
The rest of the people in the room couldn't help laughing when they saw the lame appearance.
The people in the tribe had no objections to Shenzi's arrangement, because they all knew very well how important the carpenter's room headed by Lame was to the tribe.
Let’s not mention the rakes, columbians, wheelbarrows, donkey carts and other things in the past. Just the fact that they made donkey saddles and stirrups today under the guidance of the Son of God is enough to make people sincerely convinced of the arrangement of the Son of God.
The carpenter's room needs such useful meteorite tools. With better tools, they can create better tools that are more conducive to the development of the tribe.
But despite this, most of the people are still working hard in their hearts to go north this time and try to bring back more meteorites.
After all, who wouldn’t want to use such a good tool?
Everyone here took turns to feel the meteorite tool again, and after talking excitedly about the usefulness of the meteorite tool for a while, they began to get up and leave at Han Cheng's signal, and then started to sleep after cleaning up.
However, these two crafted meteorite tools were not placed in the carpenter's room, but were taken away by the lame.
As Han Cheng expected, after tidying up and going to sleep, Lai was indeed holding these two tools on the kang.
Lying sideways on the kang, he lamely touched the meteorite ax and chisel in his arms over and over again, but he couldn't get enough of them.
The lame's spouse slept on the same kang with the lame. After lying there for a while, he couldn't sleep, so he began to lean towards the lame, and made some sounds and made some movements that only she and the lame could understand in seconds.
.
However, in the past, Lame would take some action immediately after receiving a signal, but this time there was no indication.
The lame spouse thought that he was not being obvious enough, so he increased his voice and movements and continued to convey the signal.
I kept feeling the limp of the meteorite tool, and after receiving increasingly obvious signals from my partner, I finally couldn't bear it any longer.
He gently put down the meteorite weapon he was holding tightly in his arms, and then turned around.
Amidst the joyful anticipation of Lame's spouse, Lame stretched out his hand and pushed his spouse away violently.
"You go to sleep and don't come to me tonight!"
Lame said to his spouse, then turned around neatly and put the meteorite ax and chisel he had just put down into his arms again, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Humph, if your spouse has any good qualities, it will only waste your time and energy. There is no sense in having a meteorite tool.
Not only can you feel the joy from your soul, but it can also help you make better things.
Lame thought in his heart and hugged the two meteorite tools in his arms tighter...
To this day, Qingque still maintains some traditions from when they lived in caves.
For example, in terms of living, there are four kangs in one room. If a person does not have many spouses and not many children, one house can accommodate four small families who do not have a clear concept of family.
For example, there are two other small families in the room where they live now.
The moon is beautiful tonight, and the moonlight shines in from outside the window, illuminating the Kang where they live.
In this case, such movements are naturally not allowed to be heard and seen by other people living in the room.
Regarding some of the most popular ditties that people hum at night, it has always been a very attractive and influential topic, and its popularity will not decrease.
No matter from ancient times or to later generations, this has never changed.
However, people in primitive times talked about these things more directly and openly than people in other eras.
So the next day, even Han Chengdu heard about it.
"Lie is a good man and a real warrior."
After learning about this, Han Cheng was stunned for a while, sighed, and then couldn't help laughing.
Shi Shi, who was responsible for recording the history of the Qingque tribe, heard what Han Cheng said and recorded it. As time went by, these words were transformed and expanded by later generations based on this incident.
——A true warrior dares to push away his entangled spouse, and dares to face the bleak wind and rain for his own tools...
Life has to go on. After such an episode, Han Cheng, Wu, senior brother, second senior brother, junior brother Sha, Mao, and the real warrior Lame led a donkey out of the tribe and headed towards the fight outside the gate.
Go to the threshing floor.
This donkey is different from ordinary donkeys. The main reason is that it has a newly made donkey saddle on its back.
After installing the donkey saddle, the whole donkey's temperament looks different.
He looked very outstanding. He was no longer as stupid as before, but actually looked a little more shrewd, immediately widening the gap between him and the other donkeys.
This is really how a man relies on his clothes and a donkey relies on his saddle!
Seeing that this donkey actually had the temperament of a horse after putting on the saddle, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Sparrow, you ride on it and try it."
After sighing with emotion, Han Cheng smiled and said to the sparrow beside him.
After completing that feat with Liutou, Liutou rested in the main tribe for a while, and then returned to the Tongshan residential area, while Sparrow stayed in the main tribe and did not go back.
This is mainly because after the two of them went through such a test, they were somewhat different from ordinary people in riding donkeys.
If something like this needs to be communicated again in the future, with the two of them here, the message can be transmitted faster.
At this time, Han Cheng wanted to experiment on the prepared donkey saddle and stirrups, and Sparrow was undoubtedly the best candidate.
After hearing Han Cheng's roll call, the sparrow suddenly became excited.
After completing that thing with Liutou, Sparrow and Liutou not only received flowers and applause, but their status in the tribe also suddenly improved a lot.
Like most people, Sparrow also clings to things that can bring him honor and pride.
After the injuries on his legs and buttocks healed, he rode donkeys more frequently. He liked to ride on donkeys when he had nothing to do.
Under this psychological influence, the sparrow's skill in riding a donkey becomes even more sophisticated.
As early as when she learned that the Son of God was going to let Lame and the others make some tools that could be installed on donkeys to make them easier to ride, Sparrow had been looking forward to it.
At this time, the production was successful, and Shenzi named him to try it. Of course, the sparrow was excited.
He answered, walked out from the side, came to the donkey, took the reins from the lame hand holding the donkey, touched the donkey's face to comfort him, then raised his right foot and put it on the donkey's side.
The bottom is flat and the top is semicircular, inside what the Son of God calls a donkey stirrup.
Then he exerted force on his legs, and the hand holding the donkey's saddle also exerted force at the same time. The whole person easily got on the donkey's back and sat on the donkey's saddle smoothly.
In the past, when there were no donkey saddles or stirrups, if you wanted to get on the back of a donkey, you had to have something to put your feet on. And even if you had something to put your feet on, it was not as convenient as it is now.
Moreover, with the use of donkey stirrups, when a person rides on a donkey, his feet have a place to lean on, and the whole person has a place to rest, making people feel very safe.
In addition to these, the donkey saddle, which is carefully wrapped with leather, is also very comfortable to sit on. It no longer makes people feel slippery and makes them want to fall off like before when riding a bare-backed donkey.
As soon as he sat on the donkey's back, the sparrow immediately fell in love with these two tools specially made for the donkey by the Son of God.
With these two things, the donkey will become easier to ride.
Donkey riding can also be better promoted.
Sparrow felt that after having these two things, he would be able to run faster and further on a donkey if something like the last time happened again...
Of course, if you don't face the donkey's butt after riding on it, everything will become even more perfect.
When the sparrow felt the various benefits brought by the donkey's saddle and stirrups, he looked a little confused and helpless when he looked at the donkey's butt that appeared in front of him.
It's so good. After I climbed on the donkey's back, why did I end up facing backward?
Looking at the confused and helpless sparrow sitting upside down on the donkey, Han Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
It's a good thing that people in the tribe don't know the legend of Zhang Guolao, otherwise after what happened today, Sparrow would probably be called Magao Lao.
The rest of the people present couldn't help but burst into good-natured laughter when they saw the funny scene of a sparrow riding a donkey backwards.
"You get off the donkey's back and get on again. When you get up from the left side of the donkey, you use your left foot to step on the donkey's stirrup. When you get up from the right side of the donkey, you use your right foot to step on the donkey's stirrup."
Han Cheng said to the sparrow with a smile.
The sparrow first took out the right foot from the donkey's stirrup, and then got off the donkey in an unskilled manner.
Thinking about the method that the Son of God had just told him, Sparrow raised his hands and thought about left and right for a long time before finally distinguishing which was left and which was right.
It's strange to say that in the past, the sparrow could quickly distinguish the left and right without thinking about it, but now, he had to think carefully.
After distinguishing the left and right, the sparrow standing on the right side of the donkey raised his right leg again, stepped on the donkey's stirrup, and used strength to turn over the donkey.
This time there was no mistake. After sitting on the donkey's saddle, what appeared was no longer the donkey's butt, but the donkey's head.
Sparrow secretly remembered the feeling this time, and decided that in the future, whether he was going up or down on the donkey's back, he would do it from the right side. In this way, after practicing for a while, he would not have to worry about this matter every time.
You don’t have to worry about riding a donkey backwards.
After riding upright like this, the sparrow sat on the saddle and moved back and forth for a while, fully feeling the saddle and stirrups. Regarding these two things, the sparrow only wanted to express his feelings in two words: "Comfortable!"
"
Then he started to control the donkey to trot, running from the wheat field to the Qingque Expressway, and then back from the Bronze Expressway. The smile on the sparrow's face never disappeared.
"Comfortable! So comfortable! This donkey saddle and stirrups are so useful!"
He said excitedly to everyone.
"Mao, try riding on it and see if your butt still hurts."
After the excited sparrow came down from above, Han Cheng said to Mao with a smile.
After watching the sparrow ride a circle, Mao was already moved. When he heard Han Cheng's words, he naturally did not refuse. He walked forward, took the donkey's reins from the sparrow's hands, and imitated the sparrow's behavior.
Go to the right side of the donkey, lift up your right foot and step on the stirrup, turn over on the donkey, and then control the donkey to walk without seeming to be very skillful. After a while, it changes from walking to trotting.
After riding around for a while, Mao couldn't hide his excitement. After installing these two things, the difference between riding a donkey and riding a donkey is really as big as heaven and earth.
After getting off the donkey, the rest of the people rode on to experience it.
During this process, Han Cheng discovered a very interesting thing.
That is, everyone was influenced by the first sparrow to ride a donkey equipped with a donkey saddle and stirrups, so they unconsciously chose to get on and off the donkey from the right.
If this habit can continue, then when the tribe develops to a certain extent and cars become available, will the cab be left on the right side?
