Through the wild age

The winter here is not very cold, so they can often go out for activities, but most of the vegetation in winter is withered and yellow, and small animals don't come out to move around very much.So they didn't have much need to go out. Kevin and Eddie went to the mountains once in a while, and they didn't gain much. Sometimes it was rare to catch a rabbit or something, and Macy would be happy for a long time.

But Chen Qiao didn't plan to rest at home all winter. After resting for a few days, he went back to the stream to get busy. He still had a lot of things to do, such as production tools, daily necessities, defensive weapons, etc. Neither is too much.

He thought about it for the past two days. On the night of the accident, they ran to this place in the direction directed by the patriarch. In other words, that man must know this land.Therefore, if that guy is not dead, he will probably be found soon.

It's just that he doesn't know how many people in the tribe can survive after this catastrophe. In short, he needs to make more preparations, otherwise he will be devastated when the time comes.

In order to improve work efficiency, what Chen Qiao and the others finished first in the winter was two hammers. It was easier to make a hammer. Ada had the first experience and knew what Chen Qiao was going to use pottery. After knowing its function, it will be much smoother to do it this time.

Watching the molten iron pour out two big lumps of iron, leaving a hole in the middle, wrap a bit of animal skin with the prepared wooden stick, and pound it in bit by bit.They picked it up freshly and shook it in their hands. Because the two of them were busy hunting before, none of them had really seen the process of making the iron tools. This time they watched the hammer forming, and they were fresh and admired.

Chen Qiao introduced the function of this thing to them, and introduced the usage skills a little bit, then left it to them to figure it out by themselves.When they first started using it, they were not quite used to it, their waists were stiff, and they didn't know how to push hard with the weight of the hammer, but this situation improved within a few days.The hammer is naturally much easier to swing than a stone, and you don't have to worry about scratching your palm after using it for a long time.

With the improvement of the tools, the productivity will naturally increase. Although their daily iron production is not much, compared to Chen Qiao who only made four knives in more than half a year, the speed is not only a little bit faster.

The weather was fine that day, the sun was shining warmly on the earth, and the two little guys couldn't stay in the house anymore. They were wearing jumpsuits and didn't feel how cold it was outside.So the two ran hand in hand to the stream to watch the adults work.

Chen Qiao was burning the fire, and kept heating the stove, worried that the children would be in danger, and kept them away.They had no choice but to run to Kevin and the others to watch them smash rocks with their hammers.

But after they settled down for a while, they started to move around again.

"Uncle Kevin, we also want to help." Dila now speaks like a little adult.

"Hehe, that's not acceptable. This thing is too heavy for you to lift." Kevin is always surprisingly good-tempered towards these two children.

"How about we go collect firewood?" Dilla began to think.

"Okay, okay, Maixi is going to collect firewood!" The little one also booed.

"Farewell, you two. Although there are no animals on the mountain now, wild beasts in winter are very dangerous. If you encounter them, it will be over." Kevin panicked.

"Let's not go far, just the slope ahead." Di Lamo said.

"..." Kevin began to waver, but he wasn't worried.

"Hey, you two! Don't interfere with uncle's work." At this time, Chen Qiao's voice was raised high, and he knew that there was nothing Kevin could do with the two boys.

"Father, we need to help." Mai Xi hurriedly justified himself.

"Help?" Chen Qiao stroked her chin with her dirty fingers.

"En!" The two children nodded resolutely, as if they would not give up today unless they were helped.

"Okay then, you guys go to the creek to pick up rocks, and roll up your trousers so they don't get wet..." Before he finished speaking, the two children cheered and ran straight into the creek.

"Dad, can this one be used?" Mai Xi was like a curious baby, sitting on the haystack with his trousers rolled up, fiddling with a pile of stones.

"Yes." Chen Qiao was working hard, but she still looked back.

"What about this one?" He put the affirmed stone aside, and picked up another small one.

"This one is not good, you see it is yellow."

"Oh," Mai Xi threw the yellow stone far away, and said that he was getting stronger and stronger now. "Dad, is this black one okay?"

"kindness."

"dad……"

……

He asked endlessly on this side, and Dila on the other side moved the stone over.

"Maxie, why are you sitting all the time and not helping your brother?" Although he didn't expect the two children to work for them, he couldn't let the little one get into the habit of watching his brother work.

So the little one threw another useless stone, and then wandered to the stream to help his brother.

Chen Qiao wiped the sweat off his forehead with his black hands, and smiled gratifiedly.An obedient child is a pain in the ass.

"Dilla is an idiot. Dad said the red stones can't be used!" He was still in a good mood of relief, when the voice of a child criticizing his elder brother sounded from the other end.

"Maixi, you dead boy, don't bully your elder brother." Now Dila is very silent, and the worst thing is, he always spoils Maixi unconditionally.Sometimes Chen Qiao couldn't help but want to scold that little one.

"Brother is stupid, I took them all wrong."

"Then why don't you teach him?"

"I'm teaching him." Macy hummed softly.

"Nonsense, is that what I taught you just now?" Chen Qiaoyu said angrily.

"Well, Maixi was wrong." Maixi is not yet three years old, but he knows how to read people's faces. Hearing Chen Qiao's serious voice, he immediately admitted his mistake decisively, which made Chen Qiao dumbfounded.On the other end, the voices of two children whispered.

"Brother, let me tell you..." Mai Xi imitated Chen Qiao's tone and educated Dila.

"kindness."

As they talked, they picked up stones in the water.

"Brother, Dad is so fierce."

"Fool, he loves you the most." Dila didn't have the habit of calling Chen Qiao's father, and Chen Qiao never forced him, or he didn't really care about these things.

Here, Chen Qiao is playing with his molds while listening to the children's talk of the brothers. Because the drawings are convenient, the molds they make are still single-sided. With uneven thickness.

He was going to make a saw this time, because their machetes and the like could not handle wood, and it was too laborious and inefficient.

Seeing the molten iron slowly flowing out and filling the mold slowly, Chen Qiao couldn't help but get excited.With a saw, it is equivalent to having a plank, and with a plank, hehe, they should have a bed...

He was thinking about investing in this side, but Dila's trembling voice sounded from the other side.

"Father……"

Chen Qiao was stunned for a moment, then raised her head, her eyes just met the man on the hill.The man was naked in the cold wind, and the animal skin on his body was very old and dirty, but he just stood there with a tall and straight figure and deep eyes...
