Wild farming: I was hugged by the cold patriarch

Chapter 68 068. The progress of human civilization

The basket contained bamboo knives and wooden thorns, essential items for setting traps.

Everyone gathered around to watch Ye Sang lay the trap.

It's not difficult to set up traps, but what's difficult is that they haven't seen them before, and they really can't do many things without seeing them.

I saw Ye Sang take out the bamboo knife, then use the bamboo knife to prick the bottom of the trench, put the bamboo knife upside down into the small gap made by the bamboo knife, then push the soil back and tamp it down.

The width of the trench should be three meters, and one should be placed fifty centimeters apart. Five bamboo knives should be placed in a row horizontally.

After placing one horizontal row, move back and place the second row fifty centimeters apart.

Just follow this example.

After watching Ye Sang work for a while, the people in the tribe understood. Then they each took some bamboo knives and wooden thorns, spread them out, and arranged them.

The trench was quite long, and it took until mid-afternoon to finish it.

The bottom of the trench is arranged, and the surface needs to be camouflaged, so that it can not only block the footsteps of wild beasts, but also serve as a trap for occasional pick-ups.

Ye Sang went to cut down many vines and came back, weaving several long nets like a net, and covered the trench with stones on the left and right sides, and sprinkled bamboo leaves on the surface to camouflage it.

Looking at the perfectly laid trap, Ye Sang nodded with satisfaction.

There are sparsely placed stones on the left and right sides of the trench. The stones are connected in an arc shape, which can be regarded as a mark of the trap.

This is a trench dug from the left mountain wall to the right mountain wall. It blocks the footsteps of wild beasts and blocks the way out of people. Now to enter and exit the mountain forest, you need to walk close to the mountain wall.

There is a one-meter width left unexcavated near the two mountain walls. It is usually blocked by stones. When entering and exiting, just move the stones away.

At this point, the trench has been dug. After more than a month of hard work, it was finally not in vain.

With the trench, the tribe's safety factor suddenly improved a lot, but Ye Sang felt that it was not enough, so she planned to build another defense.

A lot of trees had been cut down during this period. She planned to use these trees to build a wall two meters away from the trench.

This means that the trees are stacked one on top of the other and fixed with nails between the two trees to form a solid wooden wall.

Ye Sang told the clan leader his thoughts.

The witch basically doesn't care about anything now, and reads that ancient book every day, as if he's fascinated by it.

The patriarch thought for a while and asked, "Why do we have to add a wooden wall?"

Ye Sang said solemnly: "I am going to teach everyone how to farm. If it is not safe enough, the food cultivated will be trampled by wild beasts, and all the previous efforts will be wasted."

The patriarch nodded slowly: "Okay, get ready."

Before building a wooden wall, you need to prepare nails. There is iron in the tribe. If it is not enough, go get the soil and make iron immediately. In more than a month, iron making has been mastered by some tribe men and they have become very handy.

It took two days to prepare nails and trees, and on the third day, we officially started building the wooden wall.

Ye Sang built two one-meter-high wooden frames, and asked Tancang Hefeng to lift a piece of wood onto the wooden frames, causing fire to carbonize the surface of the wood to increase the durability of the wood.

Feng asked with a simple face, "Does every piece of wood need to be burned like this?"

Ye Sang nodded: "Yeah."

"Then let's burn it together." Following Ye Sang's example, the men watching from the side all started to carbonize the wood together.

The tree is really big, and the wood near the roots weighs thousands of kilograms. If it weren't for the tribe's strong men, they wouldn't be able to lift it.

After the wood was carbonized, Ye Sang dug a small ditch five centimeters deep in the ground, and then said to Tan Cang: "Tang Cang, you and Feng carry the trees into the ditch."

Yucang didn't say anything, and Hefeng immediately did as he was told.

After placing the tree in the ditch, Ye Sang banged it hard with a hammer to ensure that the tree would not roll, and then asked Tancang Hefeng to lift the second piece of wood and stack it on the first piece of wood.

After they were placed, Ye Sang quickly fixed the two trees with nails.

Three on the front, three on the back, and six nails were stable enough. Ye Sang kicked the wood hard, and there was no sign of falling apart. It was very stable.

When three logs were stacked, Ye Sang asked the tribesmen to bring four large stones, two on the front and two on the back, to fix the wooden wall again.

It was easier after that. Three pieces of wood were stacked up, and they were almost four meters high. Ye Sang had never seen a beast four meters high so far. This height was enough to stop any beast.

Next, everyone followed suit and stacked wooden walls side by side to surround the tribe.

Looking at the wooden wall, everyone felt safer than ever before.

There is a door on both sides of the wooden wall. The door is made of wooden boards. The entrance and exit are from here. Now as long as the door is closed, the safety factor of the entire tribe will be the highest.

Another happy thing is that all the trees within the wooden wall have been cut down, leaving more than 500 acres of land. If all of this is used for planting, the entire tribe will be self-sufficient.

After the wooden wall was completed, everyone gathered around to look at it.

"Sang, you are so powerful. Now we are no longer afraid of wild beasts breaking in in the middle of the night."

"Sang, tell me how long your brain is, how can you come up with such a good defense?"

"Sang, I have to say thank you seriously. You have helped us a lot."

When looking at the wooden wall, everyone praised Ye Sang and looked at Ye Sang with more admiration.Ye Sang greeted everyone: "Next, we will try our best to store food. In our spare time, we will prepare to open up wasteland and plant food. If we go quickly, we can eat the vegetables we grow ourselves in the winter."

Everyone responded: "Sang, we all listen to you. We will do whatever you ask us to do."

Ye Sang faced everyone: "Leave a team of warriors to guard the tribe, while the rest of the warriors and the hunting team go hunting. The woman will pick up the hoe and reclaim the wasteland with me."

Ye Sang has proven herself one by one, and now even the clan leader listens to her.

After a while, everyone took action.

Lu followed Ye Sang, looking puzzled: "Sang, how do you reclaim wasteland?"

"Watch me do it and you will understand." Ye Sang smiled relaxedly at Lu and told her not to worry.

Arriving at the wasteland, Ye Sang asked everyone to stand far away while she demonstrated to everyone.

Choosing an open space without wooden piles, Ye Sang dug the ground with a hoe. He picked up the stones and grass roots and put them in the basket. After picking them up, he dug the second hoe, and so on.

It's actually quite simple, you'll understand it after reading it once.

Lu and the others saw that Ye Sang dug three or four times before finding a place to cultivate. Everyone was strong, so it was easier to cultivate.

Ye Sang straightened up and looked around. Everyone was working seriously and happily.

Look, these primitive people will soon transition to farming. Once they do, it will represent a big step towards civilization, which is worth looking forward to.

After Ye Sang saw that everyone had mastered the reclamation skills, she stopped doing it. She was going to make tables and chairs.

I was busy doing defense the past few days, so I put the desks and chairs on hold.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Ye Sang took out all the carpentry tools, and then took out the planks and other wood, preparing to join them together to make a tabletop.

At this time, Shan came out of the cave and called Ye Sang: "Sang, three more stone jars have been polished."

Ye Sang looked up: "Carry the stone jars to the caves where there are no stone jars."

After storing meat in stone vats, it would definitely not work to put them in the open air. Ye Sang had people carry them to everyone's caves. To ensure fairness, one was placed in each cave.

"Okay." Shan responded, and then called for helpers to lift the cylinder.

……

As the sun sets, Ye Sang's tables and chairs are finally completed.

A rectangular table can seat ten people if it is full, but the table and chairs are not for sitting, but for everyone to cut meat and vegetables.

While Ye Sang was admiring his handiwork, the tribal warriors and hunting team who went hunting came back.

Waves of cheers rang in his ears, and Ye Sang couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.

With the help of electric prods and tranquilizer guns, today's hunting teams always come back with a full load every time they go out. Almost everyone has to carry an animal back, and only a few people carry the heavy ones, and there is a bumper harvest every day.

Today's meat has been divided, and the beasts brought back now are all winter reserve grains.

The hunting team threw the prey down the mountain, and the people responsible for taking care of the beasts came on stage. There were more than twenty people in the tribe. They were all elderly, in their fifties, and their physical strength could not keep up, or they had hidden injuries and were unable to hunt.

After the beast is dealt with, the next step is left to Cao and the others.

It seems that women are naturally better at this area of ​​the kitchen. They brought the animal meat, some cut the fat meat and boiled it in oil, and some cut the meat that needed to be stored into one or two kilogram pieces and put it in the pot to cook. They divided the labor and cooperated. Got to be pretty good.

Ye Sang basically doesn't need to intervene in these matters. She can only be a supervisor at most.

Lu stood at the table cutting meat and said to Ye Sang who came over: "This table is very useful."

Caoshen nodded with approval: "Finally, I don't have to squat there to cut meat. Not to mention it's not easy to cut, but my legs have to be numb from squatting."

Yuya couldn't help but said: "Sang, what you make is really practical."

Ye Sang smiled at everyone: "This table is made to cut things for everyone. Now that it is praised by you, it is showing its value."

Everyone started talking again.

Ye Sang talked to them for a while, and then walked aside.

She needs to find a place to build a new toilet. The toilet also represents the progress of human civilization.

People in the tribe now just find a place to settle things. Without a unified position, it is quite barbaric and casual.

After picking and choosing, Ye Sang came to a location near the wooden wall. The toilet was built not only to promote the progress of civilization, but also to prepare for irrigating farmland.

Anyone who has grown vegetables and grains knows that without fertilizers, vegetables and grains cannot be grown.

Ye Sang took the hoe and planned half an acre of land to build a toilet. With so many people, it was impossible to build just one toilet. It must be a public toilet.

The restrooms are divided into men and women. Although everyone is wearing revealing clothes, they are already divided into men and women. Men and women who are not couples will basically not touch each other and invariably keep their distance.

Ye Sang plans to build a better toilet, the house will be built with wood, the roof will be made of tiles, and the pit will be made of bricks and cement.
