Chapter 62: Winter

  "Wow, it's snowing~"

    Chen Chao was still sleeping in the animal skins, and he heard the joyous voice of Huangyan outside the house.

    The kang underneath burned so hot that it was hotter than the electric blanket. The witch next to kicking the animal skin quilt in the middle of the night didn't do anything less. Sometimes he would have to look at the witch's side when he got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.

    As for the animal skin quilt on Yuan's body, he is a strong old man, so there is no need to worry~ the

    other people still live in the cave. In winter, the entrance of the cave is blocked with a huge rock, leaving only a small gap during the day. Pass, keep the heating, and seal the hole at night.

    There are chestnut mountains and timber mountains in the cave, and there is a meat mountain, but the meat has been dried. The chestnuts are more resistant to storage, and the wild fruits that have been eaten before are gone.

    There are also two additional grassy hills, one is for the rabbit in the rabbit house, and the other is the necessary material for rubbing the grass rope. After all, there is no need to gather food now, and the women of the gathering team can start weaving straw sandals for spring.

    Straw shoes are quite worn out. The batch I wore in the fall was basically broken.

    There are more than two hundred rabbits in the rabbit house as reserve food. The previous female rabbits bred a wave, and the number rapidly increased from 160 to 200.

    These are the winter stocks of the entire tribe. They really have food on hand, so I don't panic.

    In the heart of a certain system boss: Grain storage plan, achieved!

    In the few remaining autumn days, Chen Chao led the entire tribe to work overtime, and finally nitrated all the animal skins, 45 giant wolf skins and alpaca skins before the first snow fell. There are 25 skins, 15 sheep skins, plus 70 black wolf skins, 21 large lynx skins and 37 small lynx skins.

    All the stock of animal skins is enough for everyone in the tribe to live a life of sleeping one sheet and one sheet.

    Even the kids and the elderly who have the least resources on weekdays are no exception.

    People like Wu and Chief Yuan and others also have two skins for each person, but they will also have a simple animal skin dress and an extremely thick alpaca blanket, which can also be used as a coat.

    In fact, this alpaca coat is really useless. Because the kang has been lit up now, and if you sleep at night, put another layer on it, it will really be too hot.

    Moreover, the little old man usually doesn't leave the tribe very much, and he doesn't have his turn to do the dirty work. In the morning, he took his old companion to prepare breakfast for everyone. The chances of using it are really rare.

    It was a little old man with horns at the time who saw the soft touch on the alpaca skin, which was much more comfortable than the wolf skin!

    So in the end, these three alpaca coats were reduced to status symbols, only the three highest leaders (sensitive words) in the tribe.

    But Chen Chao really underestimated the little old man’s love for the alpaca coat. As long as he left the house, it didn’t matter whether he was wearing animal skin clothes or not, the alpaca coat, put it on ~

    before going to bed, regardless of the fire pit How hot it is, the alpaca coat, put it on ~

    forget it, kicked off the ground in the middle of the night and stained with ashes, do you feel distressed for a long time when you wake up in the morning? And most of the night, I was kicked into the quilt because of the heat. If an elderly person is frozen and sick, where can I get some cold medicine and antibiotics?

    The current illness is not a joke, it is true that you will die if you catch a cold.

    As for the animal skin clothes and trousers, the problem with the trousers is okay. The tops are not easy to handle with the collar, but it is not a big problem.

    When you feel very cold and you want to go out, you can also put that layer of animal skin on or wrap your body.

    The strong laborers of the animal skin team also have a simple animal skin suit and two sleeping animal skins.

    But when I sleep, I still have to put some hay under my body, and I sleep directly on the ground, which is still a bit hard.

    Just to equip the eight adult men and the three highest leaders (sensitive words) in the tribe with all these, 70 black wolf skins and 6 alpaca skins were used.

    As for some of the remaining limb leather, each person was allocated four socks with limb leather as a foot cover, and two simple loincloths.

    The three highest leaders (sensitive words) each have 8 pieces of limb leather and 4 simple loincloths for easy change and wash.

    The half boys in the hunting team are also two sleeping animal skins and a simple animal skin suit, but their animal skin clothes are made of old animal skins by women from the gathering team.

    They also feel that it is not as good as new animal skins, so when it is not the most necessary, they also follow the women of the gathering team, wearing cover animal skins as skirts and sleeping as shawls.

    The remaining women and old men of the collection team were also assigned two animal skins, so 45 of the giant wolf skins and 20 lynx skins were also announced as exhausted (one of the lynx skins was first given to One-Eyed as a reward).

    Because the little kids are small, they use little lynx skins. The 9 little kids only used 18 small lynx hides. If they want to go out of the cave on weekdays, they are also learning to wrap (cloth) animal skins like the women of the gathering team.

    All the skins on the head of the animal skin were separated, and the two were connected to one to sew a hat. A small hole was cut with a stone and then tied together with a straw rope. Although the shapes are very strange and even a bit ugly, it doesn't matter, the effect is good.

    Everyone also received a top, otherwise it would be troublesome for the ears to get frostbite in the winter. Although the Beatles have a certain warmth effect, if conditions permit, you must wear a hat.

    So this is actually the first year of the Tianyuan tribe. It has 19 alpaca skins and 15 sheep skins, 17 small lynx skins, and countless animal skins on limbs and so on.

    A little old man with a horned horn kept counting and counting every day, and the more he counted, the happier he became.

    Do not know yet that he has mastered it counts more than 20 years, although the number of 20 or more people will not count, but people are not stupid ah, not number more than 20, 2 - 20 will not do

    this stack It is 20, that stack is also 20, and this stack is 11.

    As for how witches learn to count 20 without a teacher, when they don’t have enough fingers, they just wiggle their toes. If you put together four of them, you can get 20? ~

    As for the animal skins on the limbs, the little old man waved his hand. It’s a small thing, there’s no need to count it. I’m very busy, I don’t have time to count that~~In the

    mind of a certain system boss: Warmth plan, achieved!

    Everyone also has a pair of mawozi. As for pottery pots, pots and spoons, the Tianyuan tribe has long been able to get free pottery, but it still doesn't use so much, it's enough for now.

    It is rare to see birds falling at the entrance of the cave in winter, and the stone slabs of the little kids gradually become useless. But they did not succeed in catching a few times in the fall. The main reason was that they were too busy. When they woke up, they had to be pulled to rub the grass rope. Everyone had indicators. At least they had to rub as many fingers and toes as the hands and feet. Straw rope.

    It's winter now, and the time for rubbing the rope has moved to the afternoon and evening, and the task load has been greatly reduced.

    Although there is no need to rub the grass rope early in the morning, these little kids still have a lot of things to do, such as going to the house where they live to learn language and learn to speak.

    Teaching handwriting is not realistic yet, or it can’t be taught too much. It’s like teaching about five characters a day.

    The adults should come together, and so will the old people who are willing to come. However, their learning tasks are relatively light, and they don’t need to learn to write, they only need to learn five daily phrases every day.

    When they get up every morning, they have to put on their own Mawozi straw sandals with little feet wrapped in animal skins. They walked warmly, came to the power center of the Tianyuan tribe and started a day of study.

    The ground is white and the wind is cold, and the snowflakes are as big as hands. As soon as Chen Chao walked out of the house, what he saw was this picturesque scene.

    Looking up, it was all white, and watching the falling snowflakes. He didn't believe it before, but now he believes, really, snowflakes are as big as hands.

    Today’s breakfast was still fish, and Chen Chaozheng was surprised, how he had eaten fish all the time recently, he saw the witch who had just finished counting the skins and sighed.

    'Well, usually this time, the little old man is very happy? What happened today? '
