Chapter 26 Raising the Sky and Howling

 After the trio returned to the tribe, they immediately mobilized a group of people from the grass-rope army and formed a lynx skin construction team.

    Chen Chao took a wooden stick and drew a circle with himself as the axis, and gestured to tell them to dig out the soil, about the height of the calf.

    Several people started to process today's skins by the river before the sun went down today. Because they all used the upgraded version of broken pottery, everyone's peeling speed was much faster.

    Before, as long as I was looking for sharp stones on the ground, no matter how sharp the stones were, they were still a bit dull.

    But the pottery piece is different. As long as the tail of the pottery piece is wrapped with discarded animal skins, leaving only the sharp front edge, you can directly insert it into the meat, and then draw it all the way down.

    Now that I plan to use the skin of the limbs to wrap the feet, I can cut the joints of the limbs and the body again when peeling, and treat the skins of the limbs and the body separately, so that it can be the best. Use every leather.

    Since half of the grass-rubbing army was mobilized, the grass-rope used to weave the straw sandals of the collection team was naturally not enough, so they could only suspend their work and start rubbing the straw.

    At this time, Chen Chao deeply realized that people are not enough!

    The hunting team walked the road for a day and fought with the beasts for three more games. It was already very tired. When they came back, they had to sit down and weave the straw rope. Even if the straw rope was not so tired, it was still a sitting job, but the straw rope hadn't How long did it take before half of them were called by Chen Chao, the head of the construction team of the Lynx Barn Production Department, to dig a hole.

    The same is true for the collection team. Although the collection task is easier now, they start weaving straw sandals as soon as they come back. Now that there is not enough straw ropes, they have to change their identities to handle it.

    And the three people handling the prey were also allocated from the gathering team.

    As for the elderly in the tribe, they had been squeezing mud embryos before. Now that they have squeezed enough mud embryos, they have begun to rub straw ropes. They also need to use rattan baskets to net fish every afternoon.

    Although very tired, they are all very happy. Because what they fear most is that there is nothing to do for them in the tribe, which means that when they lack food, they are definitely the first group to be abandoned.

    Counting the time, the time for the mud embryos to dry in the shade is almost the same, and we will start to burn a batch of pottery tomorrow.

    The manpower needed for this is okay. After all, the pit was dug before. There are a few people picking up flammable dead leaves and twigs, as well as picking up some large pieces of wood.

    Speaking of wood, the stone axe must be made as soon as possible. After all, the efficiency of picking up wood is still too low, and it is difficult to store enough fuel for a winter.

    Still have to rely on logging!

    Only the kiddos' utilization rate is not high enough. Today, I still have the mood to wander around, and I didn't even rub a few straw ropes!

    No, since the adults came back, they are now rubbing the grass ropes honestly, but the old people will have to deal with the dinner problem.

    Chen Chao simply wants to scream at the sky, there are not enough people!

    Before eating, Chen Chao went to look at it, just think? ? ?

    I take it for granted. In this age when there is no shovel, Emmmm... even wooden shovel, 8 people use wooden sticks to pry the soil and want to dig a pit with a diameter of 2 meters and a depth of 50 cm in a short time...

    this It’s still a bit difficult... the

    solution, is it possible, I had to call them all back for dinner. As for today’s dinner, the hunting team members have had pork chestnut soup and fish soup several times and still find it delicious, one per person Grilled fish and some roasted pork.

    The pork is the last one~~ (I have caught three wild boars, and today I caught the third one, and the first one has already been eaten.)

    But Chen Chao faced the pork chestnut soup and chestnut soup that everyone else in the tribe found delicious. The fish soup, he already

    tastes the same as chewing wax... The barbecue has at least a little salty taste, but it is very small. The body may absorb the salt, and the taste will be more difficult to taste.

    Although one mouthful of chestnut soup and one mouthful of grilled fish, Chen Chao still wanted to roar up to the sky again, there was no salt in particular! This stuff is boring! Where can I get salt?

    Suddenly, a cordial electronic sound came from my ear, "The salt is near the Xian tribe 200 kilometers away from the Tianyuan tribe. The map has been delivered. Please check it. In addition, if a population is needed, the tree tribe in Wudang Mountain has recovered. The map is also It's already marked, please check it."

    Chen Chao was happy, but when he heard it again, 200 kilometers? ?

    What is the concept of 200 kilometers?

    200 kilometers is not a big deal with modern transportation, but nowadays, it’s really the best to be able to walk 70 kilometers a day on human legs. After all, you have to set aside time to rest and consider the intensity of exercise when walking. .

    That means just walking back and forth, without rest, you have to walk for six days. If you take a group of people to fetch salt, it means that it will take longer, because salt is really very good. Heavy, this thing is the same as the meter, it is a real weight.

    Chen Chao clicked and opened the map. The first thing he checked was the road leading to the salt tribe. Oh, 200 kilometers. That's a straight line distance... You have

    to cross two mountains and then 4 rivers...

    "Are there no salt mines around here?" Chen Chao wanted to let out a desperate roar, he was angry!

    Because getting salt is difficult! A long way to go!

    "No, the salt mines are mainly produced by the ocean or inland. Because of the dry climate and high temperature, the seawater or lake water evaporates and crystallizes into salt. After the sea and land changes, the sea basins and inland lakes become land. The salt gathered together to form a salt mine.

    The Tianyuan tribe does not have this condition."

    Chen Chao felt that the electronic sound in his mind had become cold again, with no human touch.

    He clicked on the map leading to the tree tribe, and beside the map there were some real-time photos of the tree tribe.

    The tree tribe is in the opposite direction of the Xian tribe, and the distance is good. It is the mountain after Tianyuan Mountain has passed, which is the Wudang Mountain where the tree tribe is located.

    The distance is about 100 kilometers, and the tree tribes live among the trees. They actually have the ability to build houses, but they use bamboo to build tree houses on trees.

    Ok?

    Chen Chao looked carefully, the tree tribe has bamboo? !

    This is good news. As long as you have bamboo, your bows and arrows will fall. It does not mean that trees cannot be used as bows and arrows. It is possible, and bows and arrows made from trees are much better than those made from bamboo.

    However, without the aid of tools, it is very troublesome to make bows and arrows directly from trees. If the bows and arrows are made from bamboo, the effect is a little worse, but the difficulty of making them can be reduced by more than half.

    However, the tree tribe can’t absorb it this year, because the Tianyuan tribe hasn’t collected enough supplies this winter, and the salt can’t think about it this year...I

    was thinking about the tree tribe, and heard the mechanical electronic voice say coldly. "In addition, please speed up the development of the planting schedule in the human cultivation plan. Also, the planting schedule of the beans has reached 100%. May I ask whether you want to harvest?"

    Chen Chao sighed, "Harvest."

    Electronic sound machinery replied, "effective instructions, It has been implemented."

    "Isn't there still 10 grains of wheat from the previous seed? Have you sown?" Chen Chao asked.

    The electronic voice replied, "I have missed the planting time, and we need to wait until the beginning of spring next year to plant again."
