I am a Primitive Man

Chapter 64 Drying the grass and hunting in the forest

Since more than two months ago, the children of the tribe have had one more task - harvesting grass.

Not only them, those women in the tribe who don't pick the fruit are also doing it.

Harvesting green grass has actually been going on for a long time, but the amount of harvesting was not large at that time. It was enough to feed the rabbits every day and bring some to the deer near the Yanshan Mountain.

But it was different now. Since the Son of God gave the order more than two months ago, they had to harvest at least twice as much grass as before.

Excess grass is spread out in the tribe's large yard to dry, then collected and piled together.

Instead of stacking them directly on the ground, first use some thick tree trunks to separate them as a base, put a layer of branches on top of the trunks, and spread a layer of hay on top of the branches that other rabbits and deer don’t like to eat, and then start to dry them in the sun. hay stacked on top.

This will ventilate the moisture and keep the dry grass below from mold and rot.

Up to now, these dried grasses have been piled into three large haystacks.

Of course, Han Cheng had his intentions in making such an order. The purpose was to prepare winter rations for the rabbits raised in the tribe, and of course, to bribe the herd of deer in Yanshan.

The naturally yellow and dry grass in the field in autumn is completely different from the grass that has been harvested and dried.

Dried grasses are more popular with herbivores.

In order to avoid braving the severe cold to collect hay with rabbits in the winter, Han Chengcheng ordered to make preparations in advance.

The adults in the tribe were not idle either. After picking a certain amount of fruit, under the guidance of Han Cheng, they built a row of soil mounds inside the wall and next to the wall.

The mound of soil is tightly attached to the inner side of the wall, one meter wide, one meter two high, and two meters long.

Create one every two meters.

Because there was no piling, and the foundation was only dug a shallow layer, this work did not take too long for the tribe, and it was completed in less than a month.

Han Cheng also asked that building such a circle of short piles is not superfluous. Such a circle of short piles has a great effect.

On the one hand, it can make the wall stronger, and on the other hand, it can greatly enhance the defense ability of the tribe.

Due to time constraints, the walls of the tribe were only built to a height of two meters. Such a height is good enough to defend against ordinary beasts. If there are other tribes or guys who are good at climbing, they will be a little bit powerless.

So Han Chengcheng built such a layer of piles on the inner side of the wall, which is equivalent to a low wall.

With the 2.2-meter short pile of feet, the people of the tribe can see the situation outside clearly, and when they encounter danger, they can also use stones, stone spears, and spears to attack and defend the tribe.

Looking at the short stacks on the inside every two meters, as well as the stones and stone spears placed on the short stacks, Han Cheng felt at ease for a while.

No matter what, one's own defense must be done well.

After all, this is the primitive era, not the era in later generations when wandering alone on the street at one or two o'clock at night would be fine.

After the low wall around this circle was completed, the elder brother took the people in the tribe out to hunt, and now there is still a long time before Luoxue.

During this time, some prey can also be brought back.

Although the tribe does not need to worry too much about food because of the existence of fish cages and the technology of breaking ice in winter to get fish, the senior brother still led people out to hunt.

Because of the existence of the Son of God, some of their mouths have already been held in their mouths. After eating too much fish, they also want to eat half a meal of animal meat.

And this year is different from the past. In the past, even if the weather was colder, they couldn't store the animal meat for too long.

Now with the method of pickling and drying taught by the Son of God, there is no need to worry about the meat being spoiled.

In the forest where fallen leaves fell from time to time, Eldest Brother led ten adult men and ten adult women from the tribe walking carefully with sharpened wooden sticks, stone spears, and throwing stones. (Hei Wa and Tie Tou are also among them)

They are looking for prey.

Today's luck is not very good, almost half of the day is over, they just hit a rabbit.

In the midst of depression, there was a sudden noise in front of them. Before everyone was ready, an adult wild boar rushed out from the forest.

This guy obviously didn't expect that there were so many people here, and when he was halfway through, he turned around and ran west.

The elder brother and other people in the Qingque tribe were very excited to see this, and they were about to chase after them with weapons.

At this time, more noises came from the forest, and then a group of guys who were also wearing animal skins and carrying sticks rushed out, yelling and chasing after the wild boar in the direction where the boar was fleeing.

Obviously, they found this wild boar.

The elder brother who was just happy for a while, immediately lost his joy.

Like other people in the tribe who wanted to catch up, he stopped his steps and stood where he was, looking enviously at the dozen or so people who ran to chase their prey not far away.

Among the dozen or so people who ran past, the front one looked the strongest, and he was the leader of the tribe.

As soon as he came out of the forest and found the group of people standing outside the forest, he showed a vigilant look.

Although when two tribes met on the way to hunt, they generally would not compete for the prey, and whoever found it would own it, but that was also a general situation.

The weather is getting colder day by day, it is the most important time to store food for the winter, and there are more prey snatching at this time than at other times.

Moreover, there are more people in this tribe than in our own tribe. The most important thing is that this wild boar was only discovered by our own tribe, and it was not captured. Under such circumstances, the other party is very likely to follow If this kind of thing really happened, it would be a little troublesome for one's own tribe to scramble.

While chasing in the direction where the wild boar was fleeing, he looked back at the group of people not far away from time to time.

Seeing that they were just looking at him and the others, and had no intention of chasing after them, he was relieved.

He yelled something out of his mouth, and led the tribesmen, speeding up to chase in the direction where the wild boar was running.

Eldest brother is envious of the good luck of these people. He has roughly recognized this tribe from a glimpse just now. This tribe has intersected with them, but the intersection between them is only held every other year. At a happy meeting.

They also live in this land, but they are not too close to their Qingque tribe, and they need to walk for more than a day to get there.

The Qingque tribe is a friendly tribe. Even in the past, the eldest brother would not fight for the prey that other tribes found first. Now that the tribe does not have to worry about food, he will not do such a thing.

He stood here and looked enviously at the wild boar and the tribe running away for a while, and then set off with the people in the tribe, looking for their own prey.
