Ancient wasteland

Chapter 42 Transition

Jing Que put the simple spinning wheel on the ground, and smiled to see the arrows they polished in their hands. Bows and arrows are different from other weapons.

Arrows need to be shot out. Although the hunting team tried their best to recycle arrows, the wear and tear of arrows was still much higher than that of ordinary weapons.

Fortunately, the demand for stone knives and stone pots has gradually decreased. The old people in the big cave have switched from polishing stone tools to polishing arrows, and they quickly got started.

Many arrows have been hoarded, and there will be no shortage of arrows.

Jing Que picked up the stacked arrows and looked at them. They were all made of straight wood, and they were all set vertically by the vertical method. They were standard and completely usable.

Then he smiled and put it down, "It's all well done, no problem, this is a spinning wheel used to spin thread, and the thread is similar to the veins of a continuous leaf.

After the thread is spun out, we can use the thread to weave clothes, which are roughly similar in shape to cotton leaves, but more durable.

Ye, this spinning wheel is for you to use. Let me first show you how to use it. It is just like this spinning, twisting the hemp into thin threads. "

He first turned the spinning wheel to show the old man how to spin, and then made room for the old man surnamed Ye to come over and have a try.

Granny Ye is the second hand he discovered after burning pottery wood. Whether it is polishing stone tools or arrows, it is always faster and better.

She even learned to carve flowers on stone tools without a teacher, and carved them according to the woody flowers she saw, which looked like stick figures to Jing Que.

But at least the petals were carved out, unlike Ye who made him a scepter, just scribbling randomly, he couldn't even guess what it was with his imagination.

Granny Ye took the spinning wheel with a smile, and slowly started to spin it in front of Jing Zhu, not forgetting to look proudly at the person who just robbed her.

Not to mention how ostentatious and flaunting that little expression was, he almost said a few harsh words, Jing Rue chuckled as he watched from the side, this was a group of old kids.

However, Grandma Ye got used to the spinning wheel very quickly, and the slender and even lines were spun out, and Jing Qu held it in her hand to have a look.

The effect is better than that of his own hands. The thread spun is very uniform, and the fiber splicing can hardly be seen. "Ye, you are really amazing."

Leaving the spinning work to Ye, Jing Que took the grass and water to the stream to remove the remaining hemp, and the ramie by the lake grew a lot along the lake.

When harvesting the vines, keep the slightly smaller ones, the ones that are not old enough and the length is not enough, and the ones that are cut are all thick and tall.

In this way, the collection team carried it back several times, and hadn't cut all the usable ramie yet. They thought that there were not many people in the tribe who could spin thread, so they would cut it when they ran out.

Now, the ones that were soaking in the creek and drying on the nearby stones were only a small part. Jing Qu walked back with Ma in his arms, and Cao followed behind him.

Chatting to him, "Jing, we have stored a lot of the arrows you asked us to polish, so now we want to spin this hemp.

I think the continuous leaves are very good, although they are easy to rot, but the leaves grow fast, we can collect them at any time to make clothes. "

Jing Qu smiled and explained to him, "What about the cold season?"

Before the cold season comes, the branches and leaves of the trees will gradually turn yellow during the windy season, gradually stop growing, and the leaves will continue to fall.

All the leaves will also fall off, and when the first snow falls, there should be bare tree branches around their tribe.

Cao was stopped by his question, scratched his head with short stubble, and looked at him in confusion for a long time, "But the cold season will last a long time."

Jing Que smiled, "The cold season is still a long time away, but you can see that the bacon cooked in the tribe is all food stored for the cold season.

It is precisely because we have no shortage of prey and food, and live a leisurely life, so we need more time to prepare for the cold season.

Grass, we can't just look at the current situation, but think more about the future. We will find ways to store food, and animal skins are the same. "

Grass scratched his scalp in a half-understanding manner, "Okay."

Jing Que smiled and patted him, "Let's go."

The collected ramie is all epidermis fibers, thick and thin, Jing Que looked at the ramie piled in the corner and thought about it for a while.

Find a thin board from the pile of firewood and make it look like a wooden comb, which is specially used to comb the hemp fiber, not only can it be neatly combed.

It can also make the hemp skin into thinner fibers, which are convenient for weaving into hemp thread. The work of combing hemp is snatched away by water.

Seeing their tacit cooperation, Jing Que saw that the spun thread was rolled into rolls and piled obediently by the side, smiled and explained a few words, and then came out of the big hole.

He turned back to his own hole, trying to clean up the sheepskins he soaked.

Take the fish to process the sheepskin first, and teach her how to tan leather. The tanning of leather is not far from fur, and the fish quickly expressed that it has learned.

Jing Qu sat on the edge of the stream, watching the fish tan the leather, while holding the wooden frame that he had spliced ​​together, and stretching the sheepskin that had been processed.

The production of parchment does not require tanning. It only needs to be stretched and stretched as much as possible after depilation to make the parchment thinner.

Then the uneven thickness of the cortex is thinned with a knife to make a thin paper sheet with a smooth and uniform thickness, which is dried.

It is the oldest parchment that can be used for writing.

Generally speaking, parchment is more expensive than paper made from plant fibers, and the output is small, which is inconvenient to make.

But now the whole tribe needs paper, only Jing Que himself, and the baaaa animal skins hunted by the hunting team are enough for him.

As one of the four great inventions of ancient China, the paper-making scene, as a half-technical geek, wouldn't make sense if he didn't know it.

But now the paper tribe doesn't use it at all, and it's a bit inappropriate to make paper with great fanfare. It's better to make some parchment first according to local conditions.

Jing Qu felt that there was no problem, so he taught the fish how to make leather, and at the same time propped up five pieces of parchment paper with a square meter, waiting for it to be shaped and then dried.

After they finished processing the leather and parchment respectively, it was very lively to see the hunting team coming back with their prey in laughter.

Jing Que stood up and looked in the direction where the hunting team came back. The fish followed him and exclaimed loudly, "Wow, a lot of prey!"

Said like a needle wind, ran towards the direction of the hunting team, Jing Que slowly followed her, watching the hunting team approaching one after another.

What a lot of prey!

As the hunting team slowly approached, no one in the team of more than sixty people was empty-handed, or carried or carried all the prey in their hands.

The mountain is the most exaggerated, with a baa-baa beast in each hand, and a black-skinned wild boar of about five or six hundred catties on its shoulders, with a smile on its face.

Seeing Jing Que from afar, he started to show off with a loud voice, "We hunted so many wild animals today, just like hunting so many wild animals in the windy season!"

Jing Que looked at the other fighters, all of them were carrying more than two beasts, plus those carried by the rest of the hunting team, the number alone exceeded 80+.

This is not a small prey like the Quacking Beast. Even the smallest Baaing Beast weighs more than two hundred catties, and the other prey are bigger than the Baaing Beast.

The largest one...Jing Que looked around the crowd and saw Ye carrying the giant bull-like beast, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly.

Carrying the cow in the wild, Jing Que searched for a long time before finding someone. It can be seen how big the cow is. According to Jing Que's visual estimation, it should weigh at least one ton.

Against the brute force that can carry a one-ton giant beast from the hunting point back to the tribe.

Jing Que, "..." I can't stop dreaming about his dream of an ancient elf prince!

This is Qun Tie Hanhan, every time he sees their strength, Jing Yu can't help but want to be jealous!

He shook his head slightly, and walked over to talk to Shan, "Why are there so many prey, have you encountered a beast tide?"

Shan laughed, "Yes! Beast tide, there are so many wild beasts, we didn't dare to touch them in the water season before, and we dared to go hunting only in the wind season.

This time we all brought new weapons, wild beast warriors, took us to hide on the road we were going to pass, and took advantage of the beast tide to pinch our tails.

I have hunted a lot of lonely beasts, do you still want the skins? This time I have hunted a lot of beasts, and I will give you their skins. "

While talking, he threw the bleating beast in his hand to the ground, "Thanks to the weapons made by Jing! We can have so much meat!"

"Yes, the spear is really useful. It's faster to poke a baaaaaaa than a stone knife."

"The bow/arrow of the wild is the most powerful. When I heard a whoosh, the bleating beast running in front fell down!"

"Yes, yes, the wild is the most powerful, I have never seen so much meat!"

When the wild beasts went north and south, they would pass around their tribe. In the past, their tribe would participate in hunting, although there were many prey.

There are not many assigned to their tribe, not as much as they hunt now!Otherwise, they will not participate in hunting in the future, and they will go hunting by themselves!

In this way, there will be more meat in their tribe, and they can store a lot of meat to eat in the cold season, which is really great!

Jing Que looked at the mountains of meat in the square, walked up to Ye, and watched him put down the giant cow he was carrying, "Are you not injured?"

The baa-baa beast can be shot to death with an arrow. This giant cow looks rough and rough, and has sharp horns. It is amazing in size.

I'm afraid it can't be easily shot to death with an arrow. Jing Que walked around the giant cow twice, and saw that it not only had wounds on its body that the arrow had penetrated through the skin.

The deadliest thing was the long gun that was inserted into the throat. The two-meter-long wooden pole was left with a length of about 1.5 meters [-] left outside.

Looking at it, you can imagine how much strength the person who hunted and killed the cow used at that time. Jing Que tried to pull the wooden pole and pull it out.

A tug...but he still didn't do it, he pursed his lips, "You hunted this thing."

Ye walked up to him, "Well, this is a moo beast. Its hide is very hard and thick. You said you need thick hide. Help me make boots."

While speaking, he stretched out his arms, covering the place where Jing Que was holding the wooden pole with his palm, and squeezed Jing Que's hand gently to pull out the wooden pole embedded in the moo beast's body.

Jing Que, "..." Draw your gun as soon as you draw it, can you change the place, why are you touching my hand? !

Tease me again, believe it or not, I am a beast, no matter you are only fifteen or six years old! ?

With a dark face, he threw back the wooden pole in his hand to Ye, "Then you peel off the skin and give it to me, and I will process it into leather for you first."

Ye slightly tilted his mouth and smiled, looking at him sincerely and honestly, "Okay, it's very kind of you."

Jing Que sighed softly in his heart, what can he do if his child is not pampered, how did he know that he would get the script of the development department.

The hunting team is already skinning and tearing apart the bones, waiting for the meat to be divided.

There are a lot of prey hunted today, even the old man in the big cave can save more than half of the meat for storage, everyone is beaming.

Jing Qu got the meat and several good baa-baa skins, and the rest of the baa-baa skins were distributed to the tribe, waiting for the fish to teach them how to make boots.

He has been turning around the parchment for the past two days. The parchment is temporarily unusable after being made, and it is all rolled up and packed in a small box that has been dried in the hole.

Looking at the parchment, Jing Que made a quill without any hassle.

The method of quill pen is very simple. The few tail feathers collected are thick enough, and the inside of the quill itself is hollow. You only need to release the grease that comes with it.

It can be dipped in ink and used to write, but unfortunately there is no ink. His oily ink is still smoked on the lamp cover and has not been collected. He has to wait until he saves more.

Jing Qu propped his face, looking at Ye who lowered his head and polished the arrow in front of him, it was raining outside, the weather was getting warmer, and the rain was increasing.

The land is continuously washed away, and the rain will wash away the traces and smells of wild animals, so the hunting team will not go out to hunt in rainy days.

There is plenty of food in the tribe, and it is rare to be leisurely when it rains. They nest in their own caves to rest and refresh themselves. The whole tribe is very quiet.

After the spinning wheel was put into use, Jing Qu often went to Dadong to see the progress. That day, he suddenly remembered the famous spinning jenny and thought about making it.

He understands the principles, but the actual operation is difficult. After all, to spin multiple threads at the same time, more sophisticated mechanical settings are required.

There are many gear structures in the spinning jenny, and he is still groping for the fit of the gear experiment, and he is stuck in a bottleneck, a little annoyed.

Coupled with this rain, which continued to fall and the air was humid, Jing He was very annoying, and he didn't even bother to turn his head.

Simply don't think about anything, just sit in a pile of gears in a daze.

Ye Ye was stared at by him for a long time, if he felt something, he raised his head and looked at him, "Jing, are you feeling well?"

Jing Que shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that the rain is a bit annoying."

Ye put down the arrow in his hand and walked to the entrance of the cave to have a look. The rain outside did not seem to stop, and it was white.

The scene was not happy when it was raining non-stop, Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, walked up to Jing Que, and asked him, "Do you like my animal form?"

Jing Que was a little confused, "...Huh?!"

Looking at Ye Ye's serious eyes, Jing Zhu nodded, smiled and praised, "Your animal shape is so beautiful, powerful and domineering.

It's also shiny silver, with a soft light effect, who doesn't like it, why ask this suddenly. "

Ye Momo took off the animal skin skirt and vest he was wearing, and threw them aside.

This scene was so shocking, Jing Que widened his eyes, "...?!"

I know you're well-developed and rich, but showing off to show off is really unnecessary.

Just as he wanted Ye to go back, he saw Ye turned into a giant silver shining lion in front of him, and gently rubbed against his leg as if to please him.
