"Huh, it's so cold." Tao, who came back from the outside, stomped her feet, the snow on her body was scattered on the ground, and squatted down on the fire ditch to rub her frozen red hands.

"Hey, cover this." Tang Zheng handed her the water bag in his hand. It was made of cowhide, with thin string as thread, bone as needle, and a wooden stopper tied with rope at the mouth.I specially sewed two of them with extra leather, and the other one is in the hands of the old grandmother, and it is very warm with hot water.

"That's great, I want one if I have more next time." Tao held the water bag in her arms, with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Okay, let's see what they can do." Tang Zheng chuckled and looked at the heavy snow outside. This year's snow came early and it was another cold winter.

I really don't know how many other tribes have to survive.

It has been more than a month since Wu and the others went out to trade. Not long after, Tang Zheng got up very early in the morning. When he saw frost on the surrounding weeds, he hurriedly sent them to the Stone Tribe to exchange three ingots. Salt back.

After that, the temperature took a sharp turn for the worse. The first snow of the year was ushered in less than half a month ago, and then it continued to fall intermittently, without stopping. The ground outside was a foot thick, and the calf was not covered by stepping on it. It was really cold. , It's really not like winter in the south.

"You cut the bamboo back, should you go and have a look?"

"Okay." Tang Zheng tightened her clothes and turned to shout into the cave: "Zhi, come out."

"coming."

After a while, Zhi Zhi, who was in a hurry and put on a fur coat, ran out.A few days ago, Tang Zheng sharpened a stone knife, took the sticks as an apprentice, and taught her to be a mie craftsman, and engaged in bamboo weaving and other work. Her ingenuity and handiness are the most suitable for this.

The leather jacket was made by Tang Zheng in an imitation of the modern style. It has no buttons, the skirt is relatively large, and a leather rope is sewn on one side. A stack of ropes on both sides can be looped around the waist and can be fastened as soon as you wear it.The whole leather is very thick, unlike the modern leather which is cut and cut, the collar and cuffs are sewn with rabbit fur inward, and the fur is warm and does not absorb the wind.

Tang Zheng, who was hunted by the Songs, the old grandmother, and the two children, had their clothes sewn double-sided, with the whole leather on the outside to prevent the wind, and the rabbit fur with fur on the inside to fit the body. By the way, they also made A few Lei Feng hats, and a shirt would be even more perfect.

Of course, Tang Zheng also made a set for herself first, she doesn't care what impact these things will have on the future, life-saving is the most important thing.

At the moment when he came out of the cave, even though Tang Zheng had made sufficient mental preparations, he was still shivering from the cold. This fear of the cold was a problem that he would never get rid of in two lifetimes, so he hurriedly tightened his clothes and ran to the shed.

The sheds are covered, and it is said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and when there is enough food, there is time to develop camp renovation measures.Next to the shed that was used to burn pottery on the mountain before, two sheds of the same size were built to store things, except for food and long-stored things, everything else was piled there.

After entering the shed, Tang Zheng patted off the snowflakes on her body and said to the women: "Go in and warm up first."

"Don't you need our help?" Wu Dong asked passionately with the tip of her nose flushed.

"No need, we'll go in later."

"Okay, let's go first then."

After seeing off the others, Tang Zheng picked a shorter bamboo from the ground, picked up the hand ax and said to the branch next to him, "Look carefully."

"Ah."

At the beginning, there is a piece of bamboo, which I saw when I was making a chicken coop. There is no difficulty or problem. Tang Zheng explained while moving his hands: "How wide the piece is depends on what you make. If it is fine, you can make it Be more careful and take care of yourself."

"Well, good." Zhi nodded obediently and listened seriously.

After untying a piece of bamboo, Tang Zheng picked out a piece of bamboo, picked up the stone knife on the ground, and separated the green and yellow parts of the bamboo from the beginning.

"The green layer is called green bamboo. It is relatively hard and waterproof. It needs to be thinner. It is suitable for making baskets and the like. The yellow layer is called yellow bamboo. It should be thicker. I will use it when I teach you to make cages later."

The stone knives are made of flint. As aphanitic quartz, it inherits the hard characteristics of quartz stone. It is the most preferred material for primitive people to make stone tools. Although it is not as good as iron tools, it can still be used.

Tang Zheng only took two pieces, then stopped, sat on the ground, and moved over a stone pier next to it, a trapezoid with a wide top and a narrow bottom, which was purposely made by the mountain, and Zhi Zhi also squatted down to observe.

Pick up a green bamboo strip, and press the edge of the stone pier on the inside with your fingertips. In order to prevent your fingers from being hurt, a piece of bark that has been stacked in two layers is sandwiched in the middle, and then pull the bamboo strip at a constant speed, and a thin piece is scraped off the bottom , so that the bamboo strips will be smoother, and the bamboo strips can be made thinner by this operation.

"It's almost like this." Putting the processed bamboo strips aside, Tang Zheng stood up and said to Zhi, "Come and try."

"it is good!"

Zhi took the stone knife in Tang Zheng's hand confidently. It was a bit clumsy for the first time, but it wasn't too demanding and it wasn't too difficult, and the pieces fell off one by one after stumbling.

"It's pretty good, let's do it like this first, and you can make it more detailed." She always praises her apprentice Tang Zheng more, after all, her own vision is not high in terms of professionalism, and Zhi and Shan are both very smart , It is very worry-free.

"Well! Master, you go back first."

"If you feel cold, go to my place to get it. The place is not small." Looking at Zhi's small body, Tang Zheng still couldn't bear it.

"It's okay, there is a kiln burning on the mountain, it's not cold if it's close."

Shan, who was watching the fire from the side, also turned his head at this time, "If Zhi feels cold, I will make another fire for her."

"Okay, pay attention to yourself, don't let Huoxingzi light up the shed, and then let the two of you get up again." Tang Zheng made a joke and walked back. It's more comfortable to warm up in winter.

Halfway through the walk, he suddenly heard someone calling him. Tang Zheng looked back, and could vaguely see that it was a crow through the flying snow, and he seemed to be running in a hurry.

"Hazel...Hazel!" Wu was still a little out of breath when he came up to him, after all, running with his mouth open in the cold wind would definitely be unbearable for his throat.

"Slow down, go in and talk." Tang Zheng went up to give him a hand, and Tang Zheng patted him on the back to comfort him.

"Okay, go find the old grandmother."

Wula hurried in with Tang Zheng, the old grandmother's bunk was at the innermost, and when she passed by, she was chatting with Tao and the others, talking and laughing happily.

"Wu, what's the matter? Where are the others?" Seeing Wu who came back alone, the old grandmother was also a little surprised and anxious, for fear that something happened to the others.

"Song and the others are fine, but we found wolf footprints and blood in the east today. Song asked me to come back and tell you."

"Wolf!" Everyone present was shocked.

Tang Zheng frowned. The presence of wolves nearby is not a good sign. Even after ten thousand years, the human beings who are known as the top of the pyramid will encounter wolves in the wild, not to mention that they are only in the middle of the food chain now.Although the defense of the camp was strong enough for the wolves not to invade, it would be bad if they were targeted and blocked here for a long time.

Thinking about countermeasures in his mind, Tang Zheng didn't listen much to what the old grandmother and the others were talking about, and they usually used fire to drive them away as an emergency.

It was probably caused by a little risky factor in her blood. After thinking about it, she actually wanted to take a look, "Wu and I should go and have a look. Didn't you mention that there were bloodstains on the ground? It should be fresh if it wasn't covered by snow. Wolves won’t come to us if they’re full.”

"This..." Hearing what Tang Zheng said, Wu looked at the old grandmother with some embarrassment. It's not that he disliked her as a child, but he knew the importance of Hazel to the tribe. If something went wrong...

The old grandmother hesitated for a while, but for some unknown reason, she finally nodded, "Go, come back early."

"Well, then let's go first."

To be honest, Tang Zheng is really a little excited now. She likes the wildness of wolves, but she has only seen them in zoos, lifeless and majestic, sad wolves.

"Be careful yourself."

"Know it."

Resisting the little excitement in my heart, even the sudden temperature change when I went out didn't feel scary anymore.

Tang Zheng asked Wu to lead the way. The snow was thick on the ground and her legs were short, so it was really hard for her to run. Wu deliberately slowed down and even pulled her up from time to time.

This trip was not too close, and Tang Zheng arrived at the place when his legs were a little weak. From a long distance, he saw Song and the others squatting behind a tree, and when they saw her and Wu stretched out their fingers to their lips, they made a silent gesture. gesture.

Slowing down and moving over, Tang Zheng was led by the bees to lean against the tree and look forward. A group of wolves were gathering together to bite something. From time to time, wolves glanced at them. If wolves are not threatened, they will not attack.

Counting carefully, there are a total of sixteen wolves. Generally speaking, there are about 6-12 wolves in the pack, and the population fusion will only occur when there is no food in winter. In addition, Song and the others have not hunted for a long time. Looking at the prey, it was indeed the fault of the heavy snow. The deer and cattle had gone somewhere.

"What do they eat?" After watching from a distance for a while, Tang Zheng always felt that something was wrong with the two bloody things on the ground, so he raised his head and asked the bees above.

"It's a human." It was the bear beside her who answered her.

The bear didn't show much emotion, the only obvious one was fear of wolves.

After the shock was over, Tang Zheng realized after thinking about it. After all, times are different, and people's concepts are also different. There are quite a few people in the clan, so what does the people outside the clan have to do with them?

Turning around and leaning against the tree, Tang Zheng couldn't continue watching after knowing what was being eaten, her back was slightly chilled, she took two deep breaths back and forth to suppress the strangeness in her heart, then held the snow and rubbed it on her face to calm herself down One point, it took a while to recover.

"Have you looked for this bloodstain?" Suddenly, I saw a faint red color not far ahead. After a long time, the heavy snow covered only a little mark. If I read it correctly, the wolf The footprints of the group came from the opposite direction to them, which means that it was not only these two people, but some people escaped at that time, but in this environment, their lives are hanging by a thread.

"No, go find it now?" Bee replied.

Looking back at the pack of wolves that were feasting, Tang Zheng got up from the ground, "Let's go and have a look."
