survival in the wilderness

Chapter 27 A New Beginning

The general environment is like this, it is almost impossible to change.

Lin Yan could only do his best to make life easier for his own people under the current environment. Survival was not easy.

After the house is built, improving tools must be on the agenda.

The beasts here are huge, and it is too difficult for humans to defeat the beasts without sharp weapons.

Everyone in the Sun Tribe came together and did their best to contribute to the construction of the new home.

Half a month later, the first yard was completed, with red bricks and tiles, thick walls, and the yellow-brown mud between the bricks was conspicuous.There are windows for ventilation and lighting on the wall.

After the warriors of the tribe personally tested the bearing capacity of the wall, everyone was relieved.Compared with the cave, it is indeed much safer.

The inside is spacious, bright, clean and airy. This kind of house makes everyone who sees it cry with joy.

They never thought that they could build a house to live in.No longer have to endure the damp and stuffy smell of the cave.

In the eyes of Lin Yan, the house is very simple, but in the eyes of others, it is a paradise.

After the first courtyard was built, people became more confident. In just ten days, all ten courtyards were completed.

Before the cold season came, people took the time to burn bricks and build tiles, building as many yards as they could.

After the first courtyard was built, Lin Yan led a group of ten people to direct the fire kang and stove in the house.

She found these from the book, the principle is easy to understand at a glance, and the operation is not difficult, which is most suitable for the cold season.

With the first yard as a model, anyone who has done it can do it without her following.

Lin Yan discovered that it is good to be smart, you can understand it once you talk about it, and you can do it once you do it, so you don't have to worry about it at all.

In the past, people were so busy hunting and making a living that they didn't put their minds on other things, so they lived so hard.

After she came, as long as she provided ideas, it would be realized soon, which would save a lot of trouble.

After another sixteen days, the temperature began to drop, and people knew that the cold season was coming.

In just three days, the bone-chilling cold came and the temperature plummeted.

They have built 65 yards, and the last five yards built are not yet habitable, and the remaining [-] yards are ready for occupancy.

These sixty courtyards were built hastily with the joint efforts of everyone.The brick wall is fairly flat, but the roof is crooked.

Lin Yan didn't dare to look at it seriously, for fear of being obsessive-compulsive, he wanted to tear down the house and rebuild it.

She comforted herself that the conditions were simple, and it was pretty good to be able to do this in a short period of time.Anyway, I don't have to live in the dark underground.

After the house was built, people moved in one after another, and now the [-] yards can still be crowded together.

There can be more than a dozen people on a kang, and everyone doesn't mind at all.

In a room, there is a large heated kang in one room, and twenty adults can sleep next to each other, and more can be squeezed together.

Everyone is very satisfied to live in the current house and sleep on the kang.

Lao Lin sat on the burning kang, and said to the old black beside him: "This kang is really nice, it's so warm, it's nice to sleep, and I don't have to worry about the cold anymore."

Old Hei’s legs and feet are inconvenient. In the cold season, the injured leg will be bitingly painful. Now he has experienced the beauty of the heated kang, and praised: “That’s right, this heated kang is really good. Lying on it in the cold season, my legs don’t hurt too much. It hurts, and my body is much better. The room is also bright, so I don’t have to stay in the hole all day in the dark, and dare not go out to breathe.”

"Yeah, when the cold season came before, who didn't sleep in the cave, how could they sit and talk and laugh together like now, without delaying work."

Another person, Lao Shi, also joined the chat group: "What a beautiful day, it's even more wonderful to sit around the fire and eat barbecue together."

……

After a while, a group of people chatted in full swing, and they praised Lin Yan a lot. It's a great idea she came up with.

Most people decide to build a yard for themselves when the cold season is over.Living comfortably, spacious and bright, who wouldn't want it.

After this emergency house building, everyone knows that it is not that difficult to build a house. It would be nice to build a yard for each family and live in a row.

Lin Yan lives with a group of children, Hua Hong and Ye Zi are also in this room, and they have to take care of a room full of children.

Nowadays, no matter adults or children, they cook their meals by themselves. It’s just simple barbecue and broth. There is no other choice. Anyone can do it.

During the day, roll up the straw mats hanging from the windows, and the whole room learns from Lin Yan, and so do Hua Hong and Ye Zi.

During the cold season, no one would go out, and spent three long months in the house. Lin Yan didn't want to waste this good time.

She wrote the words and simple arithmetic to be learned on the stone slabs and sent them to other courtyards so that they could follow suit. Universal education should not only start with children, but adults should also join in.

In this regard, both adults and children are very happy, and there is nothing to do anyway, so there is just something to do.

As the cold season passed day by day, there was less and less food in storage. People knew that if this continued, there would be no food soon.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more restless, Lin Yan reassured everyone that the cold season was coming to an end.

She calculated that the last cold season was 75 days, and now [-] days have passed, and if you persist for another [-] days, you will be fine.

Taking the opportunity, she introduced the concept of calculating time and taught everyone to learn the year, month and day.

She counted 270 days in the hot season and 360 days in the cold season, so Lin Yan set a year as 30 days, twelve months, and [-] days in a month.

The beginning of the hot season is January, after 30 days, it is February, and so on.

After the popularization of digital education, people in the tribe quickly understood the concept and algorithm of time, and accepted it very quickly.

With the date, date, and date, they can more accurately judge the arrival of the hot season and the cold season. It is no longer like before, when the hot season goes on and they don't know how long it has passed, they can only rely on their feelings.

At the same time, Lin Yan also pointed out that the cold season they are experiencing is the first year of the solar era, and when the cold season passes, it will be January of the second year of the solar era.

Let people calculate the age of newborns according to this epoch.

As for those who have already been born, those who are really obsessed with their age can come to her, and she will tell them how old they are.

Just as the food ran out, people learned a new way of noting time and remembered their age, and the temperature rose.

The cold season is coming to an end.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Although this cold season is not difficult, the shortage of food makes everyone subconsciously eat less, for fear that if they eat a little more, the food will run out and the cold season will not last.

Fortunately, finally until the hot season, a new beginning.

On January [-], the second year of the Sun Era, the temperature rose, and everyone walked out of the yard to welcome the arrival of the new era.

Lin Yan's mood was the same as everyone else's, very happy, it was really hard for the past three months.

Being able to come out feels completely different than being in the house.

Although the clothes have been improved, he can wear linen and leather clothes, but the heat preservation effect is not good, and they cannot resist the severe cold.Go out and walk around, it's so cold that people don't want to come out again.
