Although it was still early in the morning, due to limited labor tools, Zhang Heng immediately stopped delaying and began to divide the work. The women and children began to dig holes, digging deep holes around the periphery of the land, and then called Ba, Big Beard, and several half-year-old children.
We went down the hillside together.
There shouldn't be any danger just outside the forest, but you have to hurry up. Zhang Heng shouted: "Ba, big beard, chop down the tree, chop down!"
As for himself, he had experimented when he first entered the space. He was not strong enough to cut down the tree. Of course, it was also because he did not have an axe. Now the Spring Tribe only had two axes, and it happened to be one for each of the two men.
"Kaka~~!" Soon the two men cut down the trees arrogantly, and several trees fell down in a short time. This speed was a bit fast.
Zhang Heng nodded and simply asked Ba to continue chopping. Then he called Big Beard to start chopping branches together. After chopping, he asked a few half-year-old children to carry them outside the cave. Don't look at the children who are only one meter tall.
But the strength is not small, so carrying the branches is no problem at all.
At this time, Zhang Heng also remembered that he had forgotten something very important, which was the hammer and the saw. I will write it down for now and will talk about it later.
When the sun was high in the sky, unexpectedly Cuckoo and others also came, bringing half of the meat. Zhang Heng was overjoyed and asked everyone to take a rest first. There was no other way. No one would stop if he didn't say anything. It seemed as if his body could burst out.
Infinite strength and tireless labor are qualities that are hard to find in the village. Even Zhang Heng occasionally thinks of being lazy and resting.
During the barbecue, Zhang Heng motioned to share the meat with everyone. Because it had rained in the past few days, the Chun tribe had not gone out to hunt or collect fruits. The food was almost gone. If it were not for the rush to protect the sweet potato seedlings today, Ba would definitely go out.
hunt.
Cuckoo roared for a while and agreed, but when it came time to share the meal, he refused to share it with Ba, and even almost started a fight again. Zhang Heng quickly stepped forward to break up the fight, guessing it was because he had been staying in the Spring Tribe.
"Cuckoo, stop making trouble, I will go back to the tribe tomorrow, Sun Day, and I will return to the tribe after waiting for one sun day!" Zhang Heng thought for a while and said.
"Tribe, King!" Cuckoo's eyes were full of joy, he roared for a while and then happily handed the meat to Ba.
Zhang Heng shook his head. Cuckoo may really still be a child, but he is very touched mentally and has a little bit of narcissism...
After eating, he started working quickly. Zhang Heng simply asked Cugu and other men to help him, so that he could learn casually, so that he would not have to spend time teaching him in the future.
"Yes, that's it. Cut it according to the length of the stick. After cutting it, drive it into the soil..." Zhang Heng explained while demonstrating it himself. In fact, it is a stupid method. It is nothing more than laying dense wood on the outside of the land.
Try not to leave any gaps between the stakes, and it took a while to get to the last door.
There is strength in numbers. With more than fifty people working hard for a small piece of land, it is difficult to go fast. With the diligence of primitive people, the speed is even faster.
It was completed in just one hour, but the deep hole has not been dug yet. There is no need to rush, you can take your time.
Zhang Heng looked at the sky, thought for a while and roared: "Go on, let's surround the bottom of the mountain too." Zhang Heng had a sudden idea that he was planning to surround the mountain. Although the sweet potatoes had just sprouted, they would be transplanted later.
More land is needed.
Thinking of the situation in the past few days when wild beasts ate plant tubers, Zhang Heng became more worried. It would be a tragedy if the sweet potatoes were planted and destroyed by the herd.
"King!" Wu looked at him puzzled.
Zhang Heng did not explain. After the work was completed, he said that with Cugu and the others there, he became more courageous, and since he was near a cave, there was no need to worry about a sudden attack by a herd of beasts.
Immediately, he took the men and the witches to survey the area around the cave. The survey results were very good. A lot of land could be reclaimed nearby, about ten acres, which is nearly 10,000 square meters. If
Planting all sweet potatoes will be enough to feed everyone in the Spring Tribe. Of course, it is impossible to eat sweet potatoes all the time, but at least it will keep the Spring Tribe away from hunger. When the children grow up, the tribe will gradually become stronger.
"Let's all come together and learn how to pull weeds!" Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to cut down the trees. He wanted to fence tens of thousands of square meters. This was a huge project, and he only needed to take the lead.
"Grass, king!" the witch chanted, immediately picked up the stone, and started carving on the big stone next to it.
Zhang Heng smiled. Compared to him, witches were countless times easier to learn, which also made him more satisfied. As long as he taught witches, he could save a lot of trouble.
The speed of pulling weeds was very fast. Zhang Heng just wanted to pull out the route. After pulling out, he looked at the sky and realized that he had to hurry up. Cuckoo and others had to return to their tribe before nightfall.
Immediately, while all nine men were there, Zhang Heng roared and asked the men to cut down trees frantically, and cut them in the direction of the cave, so that an open area could be cleared. If a wild beast ran out of the forest, stand at the entrance of the cave and take a look.
You can see it and prevent danger from approaching.
"Boom, boom!" Giant trees collapsed from time to time. Zhang Heng was worried at first that the tree would hit people when it fell, but after observing for a while, he found that primitive people were actually very smart, especially in terms of avoiding danger.
Tear down trees in deserted areas.
It was almost done, Zhang Heng quickly stopped, and then it took a lot of effort to drive the first wooden stake. It was driven half a meter deep into the soil, and the entire giant tree was driven in. It required digging and hammering, which was really hard.
It takes time, but once completed, the land and the safety of the Spring Tribe can be protected to a great extent.
Fortunately, the perimeter does not need to be too dense, as long as it can prevent large animals from passing through the gaps between the wooden piles.
In this way, Zhang Heng then drove the second pile and roared: "Witch, do you see clearly? According to this gap distance, piles are driven along the route of pulling weeds. This is called a railing. Well, it is called an animal pen!"
"Animal pen, animal pen..." Wu said repeatedly, and soon ran to carve on the boulder.
It was really getting late. Zhang Heng roared at Cuckoo and the others and drove the reluctant men back to the tribe. However, he agreed to wait for him on the way tomorrow and then go hunting together in the forest. After hunting, Zhang Heng would go directly back to Cuckoo.
tribe.
Worried that Cugu and others would not understand, he asked Wu to explain it again. In the end, Wu, Cugu and others chatted for a while, and Zhang Heng nodded. The translation should be correct.
Looking at the eyes of Cuckoo and others, they still have great respect for witches. Perhaps this is the power of knowledge. People with knowledge will gain the respect of outsiders even in primitive societies!
Looking at Cuckoo's retreating figure, Zhang Heng murmured: "I don't know how Mei and Xia are doing now."
