Reborn stone tools to farm

The thunderstorm lasted for half a month, and the longest period in the middle was only a two-day break, after which it became much more normal.

The nearby river is accessible, and the water system leads directly to the sea. Even so, the water level of the small lake downstream has risen by at least one meter, flooding a lot of vegetation and trees, but the old grandmother said that it will retreat soon, and then it will be Many new plants began to grow, and the fruit season was another bumper harvest.

Maybe I should go to the waterside to have a look when I have time, and I should be able to find a lot of new crops.

There are two more pottery boards beside Tang Zheng's bed, one records the shapes of rows of moons, from thin lines to full circles, she tries to find out the months and days, and the blank space in the middle is because of the weather. To, corresponding to the weather recorded on another pottery board, whether it is raining or sunny, it will be recorded every night before going to bed.

Farming depends on the sky to eat, and the descriptions of the growth of crops that the old grandmother knew are very vague, mostly just when and where to find what.In order to sow in the coming year, she has to calculate the suitable season for sowing. She can't wait until the weather is cold and the crops in the field have not grown yet.

Tang Zheng was thinking about what to do next, and was wiping a ball of black resin glue under his hands. This year, he will probably be busier than when he first came last year, and he doesn't know when he will be able to stabilize.

The heavy rain drenched everyone at home, and she pulled them over to help when they had nothing to do. The progress of both the leather armor and the wooden boat was faster than she expected.

A wooden boat was still being nailed up, and hers was doing the final waterproofing.

Charcoal black glue is applied to all the joints, which is in stark contrast to the white hull. Because of their technical problems, although they are polished to look smooth, there are still some gaps.

The glue melted by the resin is very hot, and it must be applied quickly while it is just burning out. Tang Zheng's leather gloves are more or less stained, and if it gets on the skin, it will definitely cause blisters Come on, don't dare to be careless in your actions.

It took Tang Zheng a whole day to seal the wooden boat inside and out. When the glue was dry, it would be evening. As long as it was pushed into the water for two days without leaking, it would be considered complete.

The height of the wooden boat reaches her waist, the total length is less than five meters, and the width is about one and a half meters. The two ends of the boat are sealed with boards for people to stand on, and two boards are inserted in the middle of the boat to create three spaces for sitting. People, secondly, the larger piece in the middle can hold much more than the fish basket when fishing on weekdays.

It can definitely be regarded as a big ship. It has taken up all the waterways when it is firmly parked in the stream, and it will probably have to expand the waterway in the future schedule.

There is a house standing in the middle of the whole village. The house is very big, and there are six inner pillars alone, which is more than three times the house they live in.

Thinking about entertaining the sparrows in the future, they can't just sit in the open air in the open space, and the stone tribe still has a house, so they started to make such a house for receiving guests.

Lei Ji was not as hot as previous summers. As far as Tang Zheng felt, the highest temperature was only over 30 degrees. Although he was still sweating profusely while working, it was cooler to squat in the woods.

Occasionally knock some ice cubes out of the ice cellar and put one or two in a bowl. This kind of "cold drink" has never been treated before. Everyone likes it, but the stock is not enough for them to knock it every day.With this benefit, many people are thinking that they must go to get some more during the snow season, anyway, the ice cellar is very empty.

Tang Zheng didn't have so many scruples, although there were not many, but sometimes he would sneak a bowl of smoothie inside because he was the patriarch, and sprinkle some crushed mulberries on it. It was sweet and sour and cold, and tasted very good .

The only people who can enjoy smoothies are the old grandmother, Jing and her apprentices. Of course, only the female apprentices, Shan and the others also don't have it. It's definitely not because of her preference.

The days are quite comfortable, and with the completion of houses, leather armor, and wooden boats, the temperature gradually stabilizes.

In other words, fruit season is here.

Since the long thunderstorm, the arc of the moon has turned for a week and a half, and Zhang and Lin have not returned yet.

Tang Zheng couldn't help being a little anxious. Now it was the day they had agreed upon, but every day she looked up at both ends of the stream and couldn't see any familiar figures. She hoped that nothing would happen.

"Hazel, Hazel?"

"Ah?" Jing called several times, and Tang Zheng, who had lost his mind, finally came back to his senses.

It was another half a month, and the two of them were still missing. Tang Zheng's heart gradually sank to a trough.

Gently holding Tang Zheng's hand, Jing asked worriedly, "Are you thinking about Zhang and the others?"

After pondering for a while, Tang Zheng still nodded, "You said..." Before finishing speaking, Tang Zheng paused and then sighed again: "I let them go out, but now... ..”

The strength in his hands became heavier, and Jing suddenly raised a smile, "Tao said that the flowers in the lower reaches are all blooming, and they are very beautiful, why don't you come with me to have a look?"

Tang Zheng lowered her eyebrows and did not respond, Jing took her hand and shook it, staring at her with bright eyes and said: "Is it okay?"

Knowing that Zhen would never reject her like this, Jing would occasionally act like a spoiled child to her, sure enough, Tang Zheng nodded after struggling for a while.

"Zhen is the best!" Jing leaped forward and gave Tang Zheng a hug, then took her hand and ran towards the stream. Xun and the others had already caught the fish back before, and if they were later, they would not be able to catch up with their raft up.

Being dragged all the way, Tang Zheng has jumped about ten centimeters in the past six months. Although Jing is also growing, she is now a head taller than Jing. shook his head.

Taking the raft all the way to the downstream, Xun put them by the river, repeatedly told them not to go too far, and would come back after a while, and then rowed back and forth to the distance.

"so beautiful!"

Jing took two steps, squatted down in front of a small pale yellow flower, and poked it with her fingers.

This place is indeed very beautiful. The place Xun specially picked is relatively far away. It is a relatively large flat land nearby. There are no trees, but shallow grass and wild flowers grow, which can be regarded as intentional.

"Since you like it, why don't you take it back?" Tang Zheng asked with a light smile after seeing Jing Yiyi's expression.

"No." Jing shook his head, and touched the petals with his fingers, "It will die when you pick it off, and it can only look good for a day at most, and you can still see it after two days if you put it here."

Tang Zheng was slightly stunned. They were just wild flowers on the side of the road that no one cared about. It's normal to pick them off if you like them. In the past, there were countless people who shook the tree trunks just for a photo of bathing in the rain of flowers.

I didn't expect to hear such an answer from Jing. After a while, Tang Zheng said: "You can dig it out with the soil and take it home. Just find a place to plant it."

Jing raised his head and his eyes lit up, "Is it okay? Where can I plant it?"

Like a child who got his favorite toy, Tang Zheng chuckled with Jing's expression, "I'll make you a basin, you can put it anywhere, but you have to take good care of it."

"Yeah!" Jing nodded vigorously.

Tang Zheng found two branches everywhere, and the two carefully dug up the soil around the wild flowers. When they dug out the whole thing, the soil with roots underneath was much larger than the flowers. He burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Although I know that this flower is about an annual plant, no matter how well it is raised, it will wither within a few days, but Jing is happy, and I will grow some perennials when I have free time in the future.

Washing her hands with the water by the river, Tang Zheng wrapped the soil under the wild flower with wide leaves, and let Jing hug her. It was still early, and the two walked slowly by the river.

The original ecological environment is beautiful. For some unknown reason, half of the fallen tree has not entered the river, and the upper part is covered with mottled moss. In this weather, there are dragonflies flying on the river, and the blue-colored mirror-like water reflects the white clouds above. , Exhaled a breath of stale air in the chest, and the whole person's heart widened a lot.

Walking along the river, there are many plants growing in the place where the river gently swayed. The slender leaves stretched upwards, straight, without the slightest drooping of orchids, and there is always a slender branch in the middle, with clusters of flowers fluff.

Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, Tang Zheng looked at the plants one by one, they were probably the same kind of plants, and they grew in different shapes early and late.

Suddenly, a familiar feeling flashed in my mind.

"What's wrong?" Jing asked suspiciously when the person beside him stopped suddenly.

"It's okay." Frowning slightly, Tang Zheng shook her head slowly, feeling that she just saw something she should recognize.

The two took another two steps forward, and the entanglement in their hearts became more and more intense. She has always been a very curious person, and now the unclear feeling makes her very uncomfortable, "Wait, let's go back and have a look. "

The plants grow in the water, and after walking back in two or three steps, Tang Zheng asked Jing to stand on the bank, took off his shoes and went into the water.

The mud in the river was soft, and the water flooded to her calves when she stepped down. As she moved forward step by step, the surrounding plants gave her a more and more familiar feeling, until she found a plant that had begun to bear fruit, and she suddenly realized it.

It turned out to be rice!

The most familiar crop, the rice that she eats every day, but if she hadn't seen the newly grown rice, she really wouldn't have recognized it.

It was no taller than the rice that Zeng Jin had seen. Those that had been flowered could reach the middle of her thighs, and the rice that had grown was sparse. There could be thirty or forty grains in one ear. The joy is still beyond words, I didn't expect the rice to be so close to her!Even if the sparrows don't come, next year's farming plan will remain the same, it's just a matter of more or less.

Carefully put down the ear of rice in her hand, Tang Zheng turned her head and raised a big smile at Jing, looking a little silly, Jing tilted her head for no reason.

Dodging all the way back to the river bank, trying not to touch the rice around him, Tang Zheng jumped up happily with his feet on the ground, hugged Jing and spun around, "Hahahaha, you are my auspicious thing?"

Not knowing what a mascot is, Jing put her arms around Tang Zheng's neck with a puzzled look on her face. Tang Zheng didn't explain, but still smiled and leaned up to rub her face. It is said that it can bring some joy?

Even if she didn't understand, Jing could still feel Tang Zheng's excitement. Originally, she was pulled out because she was unhappy, but now Jing's arms tightly hugged her, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Just when he was happy, a piece of wood suddenly drilled out from behind the big tree that fell into the water. Jing raised his head and looked at it strangely. Patting Tang Zheng on the back, "Hazel! Look!"

"Huh?" Tang Zheng withdrew her smile, and while putting Jing down, she turned her head and looked in the direction her finger was pointing at, "Zhang!"

Really happy?Tang Zheng also opened her mouth exaggeratedly.

Zhang, who was inexplicably riding a canoe with Lin, apparently also spotted them, showed joy, stood up excitedly and shouted: "We're back! Hey, hey!"

With a "plop", Zhang, who was not standing still, fell headlong into the water. The rowing boat hurriedly supported the sides of the boat, and after a while of shaking, it was difficult to stabilize and not turn over.

Bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, and after a while, Zhang's head emerged from the water, with a series of splashes, wet hair hanging all over his face, and the three of them looked at him and laughed.
