Primitives are stunned

Chapter 41 Thatched Cottage

Two cans of salt, used by a single family, may last for half a year, but if placed in a tribe, they are only enough for a few days.

Wang Hao picked out the strongest men and women in the village and went to build a house. This is what the clansmen are most looking forward to at present.The patriarch picked dozens of people from the rest to go to the salt lake to carry salt stones.In the end, it was found that the defense strength was worrying, so he asked Wang Hao for several strong archers to serve as guards.

The adobe house needs to be dragged, and the time required to build an adobe house is as short as one or two months, and as long as half a year.The clansmen don't have that long to wait, and the top priority now is to let the clansmen live in a house that can protect them from the wind and the sun tonight.

Otherwise, these strong men like myself are fine, but those pregnant women and children will definitely not be able to bear it after a long time.

Separate some people and let them follow Wang Hu to cut wood in the forest.Their target is those giant trees that are almost as thick as hugging each other.

Wang Hao, on the other hand, led a small group of ingenious clansmen to find trees that were about two or three meters high, as thick as a child's arm, and full of toughness.

Such trees are often banyan trees or poplars that have not yet grown up.One after another, the small trees were cut down by Wang Hao and the others. For such small trees, it is much more convenient to chop them with an ax than with a saw.

When [-] trees had been cut down, Wang Hao led his clansmen to stop the axe.

On the ground leveled by the women of the clan, Wang Hao found 50 yuan of stones and put them there.The distance between each stone is about [-] meters, and there are five rows of ten stones in each row.

The clansmen didn't understand what Wang Hao was going for, and they all observed carefully, not daring to express their opinions.

Then Wang Hao found a wooden stick about 1.5 meters, and then drew a circle with a radius of 1.5 meters around the first stone.In the end, he inserted eight small trees into the periphery of the circle in equal parts.Each small tree is inserted into the ground to a depth of half a meter.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Hao pulled the tops of the small tree to the middle, and tied the eight tree tops together with rattan.At this point, a simple thatched house skeleton came out.

Under Wang Hao's order, the grass cut by the women yesterday was brought over bundle by bundle.After a day of exposure to the sun, the slender thatch has turned slightly yellow.It's very comfortable to hold in my arms.

The thatch is bent from the middle, and then hung on the rattan, the rattan covered with thatch is like a rope full of noodles.Then, these vines were tied between the small trees inserted in the ground.

The people of the tribe imitated Wang Hao's appearance, and soon, the empty tree trunk was covered with a layer of yellow-green and yellow-green round coat, leaving only a skylight on the top and a window facing south. A wicket about half a man high.

Then, Wang Hao weaved a semicircular thatched roof with branches and thatch, and hung it on the top of the thatched house with a wooden stick. So far, a green thatched house has been formed.

Those dried thatch, Wang Hao laid a thick layer of it in the thatched house, and then he lay in the haystack, stretched comfortably, rolled twice, a kind of sleeping The feeling of being on a soft sofa.

Looking at this thatched hut, which looks like a half-knocked shell on the ground, the clansmen talked a lot.It turned out that this is the house, it looks very comfortable, but it is not very strong, if there is a strong wind, it may blow the house down.

Seeing Wang Hao lying comfortably in the haystack, the clansmen also wanted to sleep as comfortably as Wang Hao at night.They ran to make unfinished thatched cottages one after another.

The method of making thatched huts is not difficult, and it can even be said to be very simple.Even if they just read it once, the clansmen have learned it.

By the time of lunch, the skeletons of the remaining 49 thatched huts had been set up by the clansmen.

The patriarch took advantage of the meal time to visit the thatched hut. After lying in it for a while, the patriarch came out with a smile. He told the clansmen that it was very comfortable to live in.

After hearing the words of the patriarch, the clansmen all cheered.In the wilderness, if you don't stay in the cave, you will be frozen at night, and you will be drenched in rain when it rains.But now, Wang Hao made something called a house out of trees and thatch on the plain, allowing everyone to live in it at night to keep warm and hide in rainy days, although this kind of house does not look very strong, and it is difficult to get in and out. You have to keep your head down, but this kind of living thing really makes the tribe feel novel.

After lunch, the high-spirited clansmen began to cover the thatched cottage with thatch to keep out the wind and rain.

Wang Hu ran back from the forest three times on the pretext of drinking water.After the pottery bowl was fired, Wang Hao stipulated that no one in the clan should drink raw water.Although they didn't understand what the purpose of Wang Hao's order was, the clansmen still followed Wang Hao's words out of trust in Wang Hao.

Wang Hu didn't come back to drink water to be lazy, he was just curious about the progress of the thatched cottage.For such a hut, he has long wanted to lie in and try what it's like.Wang Hao was very aware of his curiosity, but if he didn't mention letting him try, the anxious Wang Hu could only stare anxiously.

Wang Hu and the others let Wang Hao see the primitive man's work efficiency again.

Twenty people cut down a hundred giant trees with the thickness of a hug in one day and transported them to the side of the village.The branches of the tree were chopped off with the axe, and only the neat trunks were left in a heap.

By dinner time, fifty thatched cottages finally took shape.Holding a shovel, Wang Hao led the clansmen to dig a drainage ditch leading directly to the big river around the thatched cottage.

A thatched hut is abrupt and unsightly when it appears on the plain.However, when five rows of fifty thatched huts neatly appeared on the plain, the scene was shocking.

A clansman who built the hut by himself squeezed his hand.He couldn't believe that these rows of particularly spectacular buildings were actually made by himself.At this moment, he felt that his hands seemed to have the ability to change the wilderness, and his heart was full of excitement and excitement.Today, I can build fifty thatched huts in the wilderness, so tomorrow, can I build more thatched huts?In the future, will I be able to build the entire wilderness with this kind of thatched hut that can keep out the wind and rain?At that time, no matter where I go, I will not be caught in the rain.

One by one, the clansmen got into the thatched huts and rolled happily on the soft grass or animal skins. They found that this was much more comfortable than the stone slabs they used to sleep on.

The excitement of the clansmen was evident on their faces. They knew that they were going to live in such a dreamlike house tonight.

But at this moment, Wang Hao, the creator of these thatched huts, was squatting beside the pot, scooped up half a bowl of fish soup with a ceramic bowl, then picked up a few pieces of fish, and ran away to eat dinner.

Those who are not interested in thatched cottages, except for Wang Hao, are probably left with fur balls and a few little wolves.

Maoqiu held a ceramic bowl almost as big as it, and tapped Wang Hao's foot, obviously dissatisfied that Wang Hao had forgotten about it while eating.

The little wolves were already full from eating fish offal, but smelling the aroma of boiled fish, they still gathered around Wang Hao's feet coquettishly trying to get a piece or two of fish.

There were two pieces of fish in the big bowl for Maoqiu, Wang Hao pinched its face and left it alone.Several little wolves stared at the food in the fur ball bowl with greedy eyes. Although they were drooling with greed, none of them dared to go up and snatch food from the fur ball's mouth.

The clansmen finally recovered from the shock of the thatched cottage, and came back to eat happily one by one.Little did they know, their behavior of turkeys had already been despised by Wang Hao several times.

It’s just a few thatched huts built out of desperation. If we didn’t have time to build adobe houses, and we didn’t have the skills to build wooden houses, who would want to live in such a simple thatched hut.

　PS: I’m sorry, this chapter was posted late. This chapter was written without feeling. I deleted and wrote and deleted it. The more information I searched, the less I dared to write. I wanted to write about adobe houses, but I found out that I made an adobe Housing takes several months.I want to write about wooden houses, but I find it is too difficult to make wooden houses. The current tools can't make it at all, so I have to make some thatched houses for the tribe to live temporarily.
