Through the wild age

In the following days, they began to trek over mountains and rivers to carry corn home again. Because the journey was relatively long, they tried to get as much corn as possible every time they went.Therefore, every evening when she returned home, Baya was better, and Chen Qiao could only lie on her stomach and pant for breath.

Fortunately, Dila is sensible. Recently, he is the one who cooks every day. Chen Qiao is really relieved.Mai Xi was a little dissatisfied, but seeing his father so tired every day, he didn't dare to make a sound, and obediently finished his share every time, and sometimes helped his brother clean up the dishes.

Too well-behaved children always make adults feel more distressed the more they look at them. Chen Qiao thinks that their children deserve the best love, and he has absolutely no regrets about pampering them lawlessly.

One afternoon, as soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, they saw Mai Xi running out staggeringly, thinking that something serious had happened.

"Father, Daddy, Mummy Pig has given birth to a piglet!"

"Ah?" How did it happen?It didn't seem like she was pregnant for long. In Chen Qiao's impression, pregnancy was always ten months old.

"Really, six baby pigs were born, but two of them died." Because the family often had baby chickens that died during the hatching process, he was still very concerned about the matter of "death". familiar.

When Chen Qiao and the others rushed home, Dila was placing the piglet on the animal skin.What is the situation now?In this way, did his two sons successfully deliver four sows...

Chen Qiao was a little bit shocked, because until now he didn't know how the sow gave birth to piglets, how could they be born in so few months?And his sons have successfully played the role of midwife.His self-esteem as a modern man from the future...

However, four little lives were born in the family, which is still something worth celebrating, even though it is four little boars.That night they discussed how to take care of the piglets. They were inexperienced, so in the end they decided to lose the mother pig. Life or death, baby pigs, just accept your fate.

Of course, proper supervision is still very necessary. Mai Xi and Dilla must always pay attention to the dynamics in the pigsty. If there are special circumstances, they are allowed to use force to protect the piglets.Tools: Two wooden sticks.

Of course, in order to reward the sow for giving birth, Chen Qiao has recently added some corn to the pig's food, and sometimes rewarded it with some fruit or something.Taking care of a sow while increasing her milk production is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

It has to be said that people are always different animals. Recently, Macy has been wandering around the little pigs, ignoring those little chickens.

"Maxie, you haven't taken good care of the baby chicken recently."

"But Dad, they grow up and learn to find their own food." See, there is always a good reason.

By the time the corn harvest came to an end, the few particularly good-growing corns selected by Chen Qiao for planting were almost fully mature.Looking at this piece of corn field that has been picked in sevens and eights, Chen Qiao decided not to come back tomorrow, and let some of them grow naturally.

After the last trip, he thought he would be able to relax for a few days, but when he came back, it was time to collect taro.

Other families in the tribe have already started digging taro. This kind of work is not heavy, and women and children can do it, so there is a scene of thriving harvests everywhere recently.But when Chen Qiao thought of their home being so fast, he suddenly felt that the whole world was dark and gloomy.

Fortunately, the patriarch always enjoys generous benefits. For example, everyone will come to do free labor consciously after finishing the work at home.Naturally, Chen Qiao transferred from the front line to logistics within a few days. If someone does the work for you, your family has to take care of the food, right?

With a lot of people and a lot of strength, their cellar was filled within a few days, and the work in the field was successfully completed.

Can cat winter start from now on?Chen Qiao thought happily.

Of course, that's impossible.Because Patriarch Baya, this young man who doesn't look very prestigious, has come out to speak now.

Considering safety issues and preventing the recurrence of historical tragedies, he believes that a wall should be built around the village.No one in the tribe had the slightest opinion on the decision of the patriarch.

Because no one wants that nightmare to happen again.

Wall!Is that something easy to build?Moreover, it is a wall built to defend against powerful enemies. This is really a big project.

But he also knew that Baya's idea was correct, so as a "good wife", he also took the initiative to participate in their discussion.Although Chen Qiao was not born as a professional, she has never eaten pork and even seen pigs running. Besides, their family still has a litter of piglets. What is pork?What is a wall?

Not only to build walls, but also to get something else, for example - latrines.

Everyone should know that this latrine is also very interesting. How to build a latrine in the village without affecting the air quality, how to store organic fertilizer as much as possible to reduce loss, etc., are all technical issues.

As the demand for fertilizers continues to increase in the future, this large communal cesspit is definitely not feasible. For the sake of harmonious interpersonal relationships in the tribe, it is still very necessary for each family to build a latrine!

What are you doing, why are you looking at me like that?In another two or three years, everyone will believe that the issues I am considering are all critical.

Then Chen Qiao left behind a pile of cesspit theories and a great prophecy, leaving a group of dazed men behind and went home to make dinner.As for this dinner, whether Baya can eat it or not is not his concern.

Although they were still somewhat confused about Chen Qiao's cesspit theory, most of them felt that the method of building the wall proposed by Chen Qiao was still feasible.

They divided into two groups, one way went up the mountain to cut trees, choosing the kind of strong and straight trees, and the other way dug trenches around the village.

When the trench is dug and the trees are processed and dried, they will drive the stakes side by side in the trench, bury one end in the soil, and then fill the trench with stones until the stones are piled up to the ground. Basically, these two-person high wooden stakes exposed to the ground have been tightly fixed and cannot move at all.

Then they moved stones and built the wall. It doesn't need to be very thick, just build the width of the forearm, and then paint the yellow mud on the outside. They even left some small holes in the middle, so that people in the tribe can pass through. Kong shoots enemies with a bow and arrow.

Because the creek flows through their village, when encountering the creek, the foundation of their wall is broken, and a few very thick timbers are used to build it up in the middle, and when the stones are piled on top, they are also regularly placed horizontally. of wood.

The most troublesome thing is the gate, because of the lack of craftsmanship, they have not made a wooden door with a hinge so far.But since there is already a wall, how can there be no door?

Considering the tribe's future development needs, they can't build too small a door. Chen Qiao is really afraid of trouble, but avoidance has never been his style.Is it just a door? Why hasn't he seen such a big door before?

So he designed a simple and practical gate for the tribe.

Take some wood to make a giant plank, and put two holes symmetrically on one end, and put a special thick hemp rope on it.Pull up the door panel every night, and put it down again in the morning (please refer to the gates of castles with moats in Europe for the real thing).

Well, he admitted that this kind of door is indeed a bit troublesome, but it is safe, people feel safe living in it.

Speaking of this gate, they insisted on using it for more than a year, closing and opening the door every day. It was not until after the autumn harvest in the second year that they finally had time again that they finally opened a small gate beside the gate—— —The kind that can be switched normally.
