Because of the arrival of this herd of deer, the Qingque tribe was full of joy, but at the same time there were some worries in their hearts.
This kind of worry does not exist among ordinary people in the tribe. It only exists among the three giants of the Qingque tribe - Han Cheng, Wu and Senior Brother.
Their worries come from the pig tribe.
Ten days have passed since the visit of the pig tribe. It is impossible to remember this wrong, because the witch who is very concerned about this matter has already drawn ten paths on a pottery board.
The food given to them by their senior brother was only enough for them to eat for five or six days at most. According to calculations, they should have arrived three days ago at the latest. In fact, Han Cheng and the others have not met until now.
To the shadow of the pig tribe.
This made the people who were thinking of incorporating the Pig Tribe into the Qingque Tribe very anxious.
Could it be that people from the Pig Tribe caught prey? Or did they go to other tribes to find food?
There were so many things that could happen, Han Cheng and the others could only wait anxiously.
As for visiting the Pig Tribe, forget it. It is very dangerous to spend the night in the wild, especially in the winter. If there is no other way, not many tribes are willing to spend the night in the wild.
While waiting for the Pig Tribe, the people of the Qingque Tribe were not idle. They had their own things to do, which was to continue building the deer pen under the leadership of the Son of God Han Cheng.
Han Cheng's original idea was to roof the entire deer pen, but after thinking about it carefully, he abandoned this idea.
Firstly, the lighting is not good, and secondly, the amount of work required is too large and too troublesome.
After much thought, Han Cheng decided to adopt a compromise method, which was to cover one-fifth of the deer enclosure with a roof and leave the rest open to the sky.
In this way, when the weather is good, the deer can bask in the sun on the open side and walk around. When the weather is bad, they can return to the covered side to avoid rain and snow. Even on rainy days, they can have a dry place to rest.
This matter is not difficult.
The first step is to draw a straight line from north to south ten meters east of the deer pen. A wall will be built here to divide the deer pen into two parts.
After the line was drawn, we used the previous method of building a deer pen. On this line, we dug a hole every one meter apart, and then planted pillars in the hole. This time the pillars were thicker and
It is as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Moreover, this row of pillars is more than one meter higher than the edge. This is done to create a slope to facilitate drainage of the roof to be built later.
After the pillars were erected, they began to weave the branches, but this time the weaving was higher than before, from the ground to the top.
Because this is to build a wall that can protect against wind and rain, this kind of weaving is very necessary.
However, the branches weaved this time are not as dense as before. This is because Han Cheng will have people put mud on both sides of the woven fence later, so there is no need to weave it as densely.
Of course, not all pillars need to be woven with branches. If they are, there will be no way in or out.
At the southern end, Han Cheng deliberately left three gaps for deer to enter and exit the two places.
Only the part above 1.6 meters above the ground in the gap begins to be woven with branches.
At the top of this row of pillars, a pillar is placed horizontally, which can be called a beam.
Doing this can make the pillars stronger and prepare for the placement of rafters later.
Because there are no "I"-shaped "nails", fixing the wooden beams is a bit troublesome. The only way is to use tough rattan to tie them up and make them as strong as possible.
This is considered high-altitude work for the Qingque tribe.
But as early as when they were building the fence, under the guidance of Han Cheng, they used wood to build a lot of stands for stepping on. Of course, Han Cheng couldn't bear to destroy these stands. Wouldn't they use them now?
The wall on the west (let's call it a wall for now) is ten meters away from the wall on the east that was originally built. This span is too large, and it will be very difficult to raise the rafters in the future.
One reason is that it is difficult to find branches with a suitable thickness and up to ten meters to make rafters. Another reason is that the gaps are too large and not strong. After the roof is built, it will easily fall off. That is, the roof will collapse easily.
So Han Chenggong planted two more rows of pillars inside, with a beam across each of them. In this case, the original ten-meter distance was separated by these two horizontal beams, and became three three-meter-plus distances.
.
Of course, the pillars holding these two beams do not need to be as close together as before. They can be erected every three meters and connected in a row from north to south.
Previously, there was also a beam on the wall on the easternmost side, at the edge of the deer pen.
After these four beams are erected, it is time to tie the rafters between the four beams.
In the standard sense, rafters are made by breaking wood into planks.
In this way, it is lighter, secondly, it saves wood, and thirdly, because the specifications are the same, it is more beautiful.
The Qingque tribe at this time obviously did not have such an ability, but fortunately there was enough wood. Under Han Cheng's arrangement, the people in the tribe got a lot of tree sticks as thick as a baby's arm, and then placed them on the beams each time.
Tie one piece every thirty centimeters from top to bottom.
Considering that when it rained "slantingly", the earthen wall would get wet, when tying the rafters, Han Cheng deliberately allowed both ends of the rafters to extend thirty centimeters each.
In this way, after the roof is built, it will not only prevent water from the eaves from hitting the wall, but also block some slanting rain.
After the rafters are tied up, what needs to be done is something called a "grid". Han Cheng's hometown for later generations was called this, and he didn't know the official name.
The specific method is to first lift a log with a diameter of five centimeters and a length of more than four meters, and then tie a stick with a diameter of a little finger and a length of more than two meters to the log.
Three ropes are tied to the tree stick, and the ropes are tied at both ends and in the middle.
The ropes are also particular. Where the ropes are tied, two ropes need to be tied at one time.
Weaving a fence requires a lot of rope, so you can wrap the extra rope around a stone of suitable size, leaving about half a meter in length for use, wind the rest around it, and tie it to the stone to prevent it from being
release.
After the remaining half meter of rope is used up, untie it, loosen half a meter of rope and use it again.
Stones with ropes, one on the left and one on the right, hang down from both sides of the elevated log.
Then put a little finger or a tree stick that is thinner than the little finger on the first tree stick, and then change the positions of the six ropes with stones hanging on them, that is, change the ones originally on the left to the right, and the ones on the right to the crossbar.
On the left side, this tree strip is tied up.
Then add another one and continue repeating this action. When enough tree strips are added, the fence is complete.
(I did this when I was a kid, it was very simple, but my expression ability is not good, and it takes a long paragraph to express it, so I will briefly mention it here.
I was very confused about the part about building a deer pen, because I have a lot of exposure to thatched cottages and tile-roofed houses. When I was writing, I wanted to write out the general process, but I was worried that book friends wouldn't like to read this.
