I am a Primitive Man

Because of the arrival of this herd of deer, the Qingque tribe was full of joy, but at the same time, there were some worries in their hearts.

Ordinary people in the tribe don't have this kind of worry. It only exists among the three giants of the Qingque tribe--Han Cheng, Wu, and the eldest brother.

Their worries come from the pig tribe.

It has been ten days since the Pig Tribe's visit, and it is impossible to remember this wrongly, because the witch who is very concerned about this matter has already drawn ten paths on a pottery board.

The food given to them by the elder brother is only enough for them to eat for five or six days at most. According to calculations, they should have come three days ago at the latest. In fact, Han Cheng and the others have not seen each other until now. To the shadow of the pig tribe.

This made the few people who were planning to incorporate the Pig Tribe into the Qingque Tribe very anxious.

Could it be that the people of the pig tribe hit the prey? Or went to other tribes to find food?

There are too many things that may happen, Han Cheng and the others can only wait anxiously.

As for going to the pig tribe, forget it, it is dangerous to spend the night in the wild, especially in the winter, if there is no other way, not many tribes are willing to spend the night in the wild.

While waiting for the Pig Tribe, the people of the Qingque Tribe were not idle. They had their own work to do, which was to continue building the deer enclosure under the leadership of Shenzi Han Cheng.

Han Cheng's original idea was to cover the entire deer enclosure, but after thinking about it carefully, he abandoned this idea.

One is that the light is not good, and the other is that the amount of engineering required is too large and takes too much time.

After much deliberation, Han Cheng decided to adopt a compromise method, that is, cover one-fifth of the deer enclosure with a roof, and leave the rest open to the air.

In this way, when the weather is good, the deer can walk in the sun on the open side, and when the weather is bad, they can go back to the covered side to avoid rain and snow, and even if it is raining, they can have a dry place to rest.

This matter is not too difficult.

The first step is to draw a straight line running north-south ten meters to the east of the deer enclosure. A wall will be built here to divide the deer enclosure into two parts.

After the line was drawn, we used the previous method of building a deer enclosure. On this line, a hole was dug every one meter, and then pillars were planted in the hole. This time, the pillars were thicker. It is the thickness of the mouth of the bowl.

Moreover, this row of pillars is more than one meter higher than the height at the edge. This is done to create a slope so that the roof built later can drain water.

After the pillars were erected, they began to weave with branches, but this time the weaving was higher than before, from the ground to the top.

Because this is to create a wall that can shelter from wind and rain, so this kind of weaving is very necessary.

However, the branches weaved this time are not as dense as before. This is because later, Han Cheng will have people paste mud on both sides of the woven fence, so there is no need to weave them as densely.

Of course, not all the pillars must be woven with branches. If you do this, there is no way to get in and out.

At the southern end, Han Cheng deliberately left three gaps for the deer to enter and exit the two places.

The part that is 1.6 meters above the ground in the gap starts to be woven with branches.

At the top of this row of columns, a column is placed across, which may be called a beam.

Doing so will allow the columns to become stronger and prepare for the rafters to be placed later.

Because there is no 'I'-shaped 'nail', it is a bit troublesome to fix the wooden beams, and it can only be bound with tough rattan, as firm as possible.

For the Qingque tribe, this is already considered a high-altitude operation.

But as early as when the wall was being built, under the guidance of Han Cheng,

They used wood to tie up many shelves for standing on. Of course, Han Cheng was reluctant to destroy these shelves. Wouldn't they be used now?

The wall on the west (let’s call it the wall for now) is ten meters away from the wall that was built on the east. This span is too large, and it will be very difficult to install the rafters in the future.

One reason is that it is difficult to find tree branches of suitable thickness and up to ten meters to make rafters. Another reason is that the gaps are too large and not strong, and the roof will easily fall off when the time comes. That is, the roof is prone to collapse.

Therefore, two rows of pillars were planted inside Han Chengcheng, and a beam was also erected on each of them. In this way, the original distance of ten meters was separated by these two horizontal beams, and became three more than three meters apart. up.

Of course, the pillars that support these two beams don’t have to be so close together as before, they just need to be erected every three meters, connecting the north and the south in a row.

A beam was also erected on the wall on the easternmost side, at the edge of the deer circle.

After the four beams are set up, it is time to tie the rafters between the four beams.

Rafters in the standard sense are made by dissolving wood into planks.

In this way, it is lighter, secondly, it saves wood, and thirdly, because the specifications are the same, it is more beautiful.

At this time, the Qingque tribe obviously did not have such ability, but fortunately, there was enough wood. Under Han Cheng's arrangement, the people in the tribe got a lot of sticks the size of a baby's arm, and then placed them on the beams every Tie one every 30 centimeters, from top to bottom.

Considering that when it rains at an angle, the soil wall will be wet, so when tying the rafters, Han Cheng deliberately let the two ends of the rafters protrude by 30 centimeters.

In this way, when the time comes, after the roof is built, it can not only prevent the water from the eaves from hitting the wall, but also shelter some slanting rain.

After the rafters are tied up, what needs to be done is something called a 'grid'. The hometown of Han Cheng's descendants is called this, and he doesn't know the official name.

The specific method is to first lift a log with a diameter of five centimeters and a thickness of more than four meters, and then tie a tree stick with the thickness of a little finger and a length of more than two meters to the log.

Tie three ropes on the stick, and the ropes are tied at both ends and in the middle.

The rope is also particular, and the place where the rope is tied needs to be tied two at a time.

Weaving a fence requires a lot of rope, so you can wind the excess rope around a stone of suitable size, leaving about half a meter of length for use, and wrap the rest around it, and tie it to the stone to prevent it release.

After the remaining half meter of rope is used up, untie it, loosen half a meter of rope and use it again.

Stones with ropes, one on the left and one on the right, hang down on both sides of the overhead log.

Then put a little finger or a tree stick thinner than the little finger on the first stick, and exchange the positions of the six ropes with stones in turn, that is, change the original left to the right, and the right to the crossbeam. On the left, such a tree is tied.

Then put another one, and continue to repeat this action. When enough trees are added, the grid will be completed.

(I did this thing when I was a child, it is very simple, but my expressive ability is not good, and it takes a long paragraph of words to express it, so I will briefly mention it here.

I was very troubled when I wrote the part about building the deer circle, because I had a lot of contact with thatched houses and tile-roofed houses. , very embarrassing...)
