wild trail

Chapter 43 Residence

At noon, people walked to a river, the clear and wide river meanders on the grassland, and there is a small forest growing beside the river, so that people have a place to avoid the scorching sun at noon, everything here can be seen It looks so good.

People lie lazily in the shade, enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon.

"Lang, what shall we do next!" Huo asked casually with a straw in his mouth.

"First of all, we need to use the trees here to build a wall around the river. Safety is the first priority. Otherwise, we have to protect women and children and find food, and we cannot separate ourselves," Wang Lang said.

Huo nodded and said, "These trees should be enough for us to build the wall, and the terrain here is flat and soft, so our progress will definitely be much faster than in the jungle."

"Well, there are no caves here, and we can't escape the wind, rain and scorching sun. We have to build some houses."

Wang Lang's words aroused the interest of other people, and they all gathered around.

"Lang, you mentioned houses before, what exactly is a house?" Jianya asked curiously.

Wang Lang thought for a while and said, "The house is similar to the tent we built to hide from the rain before, but it's much bigger than that."

"But there aren't enough wide leaves here?" Jian Ya scratched his hair and asked puzzled.

Wang Lang smiled and said: "Who said that leaves must be used? Look at the weeds all over the ground. Can't we use these? We can use soil and trees to build our houses. It looks like this."

As Wang Lang said, he picked up a branch and made a pattern of a thatched house on the ground.

Although Wang Lang's paintings were not even as good as stick figures, people still understood the meaning of the pictures, and started discussing curiously around the figures on the ground.

"Lang, you are so smart. You can think of all kinds of methods. With you leading us, we will definitely become stronger." Jian Ya said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

If he hadn't known that these people were primitive people and didn't have those flowery intestines, Wang Lang would have no doubt that Jian Ya was flattering himself, and it was still a flattering with no technical content, but Wang Lang still felt a sense of accomplishment.

Wang Lang smiled and said, "We need to build our living place as soon as possible. We don't have much salt. Let's find some time to see if we can find a salt mine nearby."

Everyone nodded approvingly, they were used to eating food with added salt, and it was a bit unacceptable for them to go and drink blood.

"Lang, let's start in a while. These small trees, we can cut them down in two days with extra effort." Jian Ya didn't want to live without salt. With salt, he felt that his strength was obviously stronger than before. Many, he didn't want to be delayed by these chores to find salt.

"Don't worry, the sun is too poisonous now, let everyone rest for a while." Wang Lang said.

Jian Ya looked up at the sun in the sky, and sat downcastly, chewing the grass root irritably.

After noon, the white clouds in the sky blocked the scorching sun, and people took advantage of the rare coolness to chop down trees with stone axes.

Two days later, these people cut down half of the trees in this small forest, and the bare tree stumps stood on the grassland, declaring the destructive power of human beings to nature.

Looking at the timber piled aside, Wang Lang felt that these should be enough, and poked the ground under his feet with a spear. The soft and wet ground was also easy to dig.

Wang Lang took a tree trunk as thick as an arm, and split the front end of the trunk with a stone axe to form a sharp triangle. Wang Lang held the trunk and poked it vigorously on the ground, bringing up a lot of soil.

After people's efforts, four days later, a fence with a radius of [-] to [-] square meters appeared on this grassland. In order to rush the work, Wang Lang did not make the fence airtight. The initially formed fence could only stop those huge animals. Even if some small animals run in, they will not pose much threat to people.

With the fence, people have a sense of security in their hearts. At least the men don't have to worry about women and children being attacked by wild animals when they leave the tribe. Wang Lang can do his own things without worrying about the future.

After the wall was built, Wang Lang led people to clean up the weeds near the wall, lit a fire, and burned all the weeds inside the wall.

People had to stay away from the billowing heat wave, and the soaring smoke scared the nearby animals to flee here.

After half an hour of burning, the ground inside the wall was covered with a layer of black ash.

After the temperature on the ground dropped, Wang Lang made a few brooms out of weeds and asked someone to clean up the ashes.

For the house, Wang Lang made a model out of mud. As for the building of the house, Wang Lang handed it over to the women in the tribe.

In the past few days, people have not eaten anything other than catching fish, and it can be said that a bird has faded out of their mouths.

After resting for a day, Wang Lang took the men of the tribe out for the first hunting here.

Seven or eight men with weapons in their hands, bowed their waists and sneaked in the grass, slowly approaching the group of deer grazing in front of them with their heads bowed.

About ten meters away from the herd of deer, Wang Lang waved his hand to signal people to stop, and called Dark Cloud, Fire, and Horn.

"The three of you stay here and watch my gestures. You don't need to attack them, just drive them to where I am, understand?" Wang Lang said in a low voice.

Seeing that the three nodded, Wang Lang led the rest of the people quietly around behind the herd of deer, let Jian Ya and Heishi pull the rope to lurk, and the rest of the people took off their bows and arrows and got ready.

Wang Lang waved his hand to indicate to Wu Yun that they could move. After seeing Wang Lang's gesture, the three of them suddenly rushed out from the grass, waving spears and shouting, surrounded the deer from three sides.

The frightened herd of deer panicked. Seeing enemies on three sides, they frantically fled in the only direction where there was no one.

Seeing that the first step was successful, Wang Lang signaled Jianya and Heishi to prepare.

The deer group didn't find Wang Lang and the others lurking in the grass, they ran in a panic under the chase of Wu Yun and the three, and soon ran into the ambush circle of the crowd.

"Pull!" Wang Lang shouted.

When Jianya and Heishi heard this, they both exerted force at the same time, and the thick rope suddenly became tense. The deer running at high speed were stumbled by the sudden appearance of the rope. After running, the two of Heishi were also knocked down by the huge impact force of the deer herd.

Wang Lang didn't care about those deer who ran away, and called the other people who were ambushing around him to shoot and kill the fallen deer with bows and arrows. In a blink of an eye, seven or eight deer were shot and killed, and the rest were young and strong. The deer quickly got up from the ground and fled into the distance.

There were a few thin young deer who fell a little hard and lay on the ground and struggled a few times without getting up.

"Catch those fawns, don't kill them." Wang Lang shouted.

People knew that Wang Lang might want to domesticate these fawns. After all, they had raised some animals before, and they didn't talk nonsense. Several people gathered together and surrounded the three fallen fawns.

The three fawns looked at the humans surrounding them, their eyes were full of panic, but they could not escape when they were surrounded, and they let out a cry of horror.
