Primal Power

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that Shi came back with people. The two teams consisted of about 30 people. Lin Luo had told Ling before that there was no need for a tree that was too thick, as long as it was waist-thick, about half a meter in diameter, If it is five to six meters, it will be fine. Except for the stone carrying a piece of wood, the other two will be carried back one by one.

After a calculation, there are about sixteen trees, which are enough to make pillars and beams, but tomorrow I need to cut some thinner ones to make steps connecting the beams. These are already tomorrow’s work Now, the main thing is to eat.

After thinking about it, it is inconvenient for so many people to gather around the pot. Since the distribution of the big pot in the tribe, no matter if it is a clay pot, a stone bowl, or made of bamboo, everyone has one. Since everyone is invited to eat meat, Lin Luo said hello He said: "I invite everyone to eat meat tonight, you go back and get the bowls, go to the entrance of my cave and line up."

As soon as Lin Luo finished speaking, everyone cheered, placed the wood, and went back to the cave to get bowls. When Lin Luo saw it, he pulled the stone, called out to Ling who was still studying the model, and walked towards the cave. Direction rushed.

The spoons and spatulas used by Lin Luo for cooking are enlarged versions polished with stones. One spoon can make a large bowl of meat. It's all meat, a big bowl full for one person, watching everyone smile and take it back, Lin Luo asked Yue and the others to clean it up slowly, and then he and Shi slowly started eating, Lin Luo couldn't eat much, most of them They all went into Shi's belly, and after a round of food as usual, they entered Mengxiang together with Shi.

The next day, I went to the pottery-making cave as usual, and then I went to find Ling. The square was more lively than I thought. There were many people. The old people who had been hiding in the thatched shed these days all came out to help peel the pottery there. A hundred or so barks were peeled at the same time, even if it was difficult to peel off, the speed was very fast. When the forest fell, they had already been peeled off, and the ridge was already marked there.

Seeing a large group of old people surrounded by animal skins, Lin Luo also said, instead of letting them stay in the hut around a charcoal basin all day, it's better to go out for some activities, the more people are lively, the less cold it will be Yes, but Lin Luo still asked Yue to go back to stew broth. Drinking a bowl of broth in this weather made her body warm.

With everyone's help, the grass shed was originally planned to be built in six or seven days, but it was built in the afternoon. It was better than I imagined, and even the model was not as good, because Ling was still building on his own foundation. Looking at the thatched shed in front of him, no, it should have entered the ranks of the house, because Ling improved the thatched shed according to the mortise and tenon structure he taught him.

Originally, Ling planned to surround it on all sides, cover it with thatch and bamboo curtains, and leave only one door like a cave. Fortunately, Lin Luo discovered it in time and stopped it. He only needs to surround one side. Yes, it is used for cooking, so that all the rings can be put on, so how can the oily fume get out.

Besides, the thatched shed was built to teach everyone how to cook. If it is surrounded on all sides, how can everyone see it, how can you teach it like this, because of this, Ling has been lost for a long time, or Lin Luoti. One point:

"My thatched hut can't do it, so you can go outside and help those old people build it. They are smaller than this one, and they are leaking from all sides. If you help them make it like this, they will be very grateful to you," Lin Luo said. Seeing Ling, I was very moved, but still a little hesitant.

Originally, Ling wanted to improve this hut for the sake of the old people on the fringes of the tribe, but he didn't know if the patriarch and other people in the tribe would agree. Everyone helped, saying that if they had time to build a hut, it would be better to go hunting. The old people also felt that Da Wu was right.

These thatched huts were built last winter when the old people finally realized the importance of thatched huts, so they let themselves help and slowly built them up. Now, building this new kind of huts requires a lot of manpower and material resources. With a large investment, it is definitely not enough for these old people to help cut down trees and build grass sheds alone.

Don’t think that God made this hut to be built in one day. It was because yesterday there were stone workers who cut down enough trees. Today, more than 200 people came to help, peeling, digging holes, and making mortise and tenon joints. It was set up soon, but these people came to help because Lin Luo was an envoy of the gods. If they built the hut for the elderly alone, I don't know if they would agree to help.

After thinking for a while, Ling still expressed his concerns to Lin Luo: "I'm afraid that the tiger will disagree. Last year, the tiger asked me to lead people to say that he wanted to build a straw hut for the elderly, but these old people believed the words of the great witch and thought that Building thatched huts is a waste of time. If you have the time, you might as well go hunting. Hu was very upset when the old man rejected his kind intentions. Later, in winter, these old men asked Tiger to help build the hut, but Hu refused. I didn’t send anyone to help directly, but I helped everyone slowly build it up.”

"Tiger didn't stop you from helping," Lin Luo then asked Ling.

"No, Hu didn't say anything at the time, he should have agreed to my help." Ling thought about the scene at that time, and the day after he came back from the Pippi tribe, Hu agreed to build a grass shed. The big witch knew, and when the big witch went to the old people to lobby, the matter became serious. I don't know what the big witch said, but the old people were talking about Hu's fault. Don't ask.

"That's fine. I'll try to talk to Hu. He didn't stop you from helping, so he shouldn't be so angry. Besides, after so long, the tiger's anger should disappear." As soon as the big witch got involved, the old people misunderstood his intentions, and when things went wrong, then the tiger became unhappy, and the patriarch was unhappy, so he would not ask people to help. It sounds like this, as long as the tiger is dealt with, it will be fine.

After the tiger came back from hunting at night, Lin Luo took the stone to find the tiger, and let himself face the tiger alone. Lin Luo still felt quite stressed. Usually, the tiger spoke calmly to him, but this time he was I came here to intercede, and I hate the big witch from the look of the tiger. I don't know if the tiger will be angry if the big witch appeared in this incident.

The sky was dark at night, only the fires of the tribe were lit up, barbecues, warming up, chatting, and doing together in a pile, it looked very lively.

"Brother, brother, why are you looking for me so late?" Hu sat on the stone pier, with a charcoal basin in front of him, a skewer in his hand, grilling meat on the brazier, and saw Lin Luo pulling Shi walked towards him, sat on the big stone pier in front of him, looked at him and asked.

"I want to talk to the patriarch about the hut." Lin Luo pulled Shi and sat with him on the big stone pier opposite the tiger, and when he heard the tiger's question, he hurriedly responded.

Only then did Hu raise his head, which had been looking at the barbecue, and asked suspiciously: "When I came back today, I saw that the grass shed on the square had already been built. see you again"

It can be seen that Hu is also very satisfied with the thatched hut built by Ling, but most of the meaning of survival in the tribe is to be able to eat enough and hunt more prey, and the tiger is no exception. For him, living It doesn't matter where it is, as long as there is a place to stay, and the prey can be hunted every day, it is a big deal for the people in the tribe to have enough food.

Although when Lin Luo talked about building a thatched hut, Hu immediately agreed and sent someone to help, that was because Lin Luo was Shi's partner and the envoy of the tribe, and most of what Hu did to Lin Luo Very pampering.

"The huts I want have been built. I want Ling to build a few houses for the old people and slaves in the tribe. It is the snow season. The huts that Ling researched can help everyone shelter from wind and rain, so that The elderly will also reduce the death rate," Lin Luo organized his words and explained.

"Yes, Ling can help at any time, don't ask me." Hu turned the skewer in his hand, sprinkled a layer of chili powder, handed Lin Luo and Shi each a skewer, and ate it himself. The corners of his mouth were twitching, and he said while eating that he didn't have any objection if Ling was going to help, and didn't he say nothing when Ling went to help build a straw shed last winter.

It's so easy, Lin Luo thought, when Ling told him, he thought it would be very difficult to deal with Hu, but he just mentioned a word, before he started persuading, Hu agreed directly, think about it, Lin Luo still felt a little uneasy, and asked again with certainty:

"Patriarch, I want the tribe to allocate some people to help Ling, so that the wooden house can be built soon."

Tiger paused for a moment with his twitching teeth, glanced at the two people in front of him, and asked strangely: "Why?"

You must know that in this primitive age of ruthlessness and blood drinking, the fittest survive, and the old people who are gradually entering old age are the eliminated generation. They cannot hunt and have no source of food. The tribe can occasionally support them is the maximum limit. In order to help For the elderly who are about to die, it is obviously not cost-effective to spend physical, manpower, and material resources to build these huts.

This is also the reason why the elders in the tribe were instigated by the big witch and rejected the tiger's kindness. They all knew that they were just a burden to the tribe, and if they died, they would be relieved. Why waste the extra meat to support themselves? What about the dead.

I wanted to be good for the tribe in my heart, but when the heavy snow came, they not only had to suffer from hunger, but also endured the cold. They couldn't find a place to hide from the snow, so they could only freeze to death slowly in the snow , and then was carried out by the clansmen to bury him. After all, he still had concerns in his heart, and he couldn't watch himself die like this, so he asked Hu to help build the grass shed.

But who is the tiger? The patriarch of the tribe has to think about the whole tribe. In this winter, there is a shortage of food. Everyone has to go out to hunt and find food in order to survive the whole winter safely. How could it be possible for a few different people? The important old people abandoned the whole tribe. When food was abundant in autumn, they asked Ling to bring people to help them, but they didn’t want it. Now it’s the most difficult time for the tribe, so they jumped out and told themselves to send people to help them cover grass Peng, how is this possible, even if he agrees, the rest of the tribe will not agree.

In fact, Hu was not very angry, otherwise he would not have agreed to Ling to help when he built the thatched huts, and now there are no such huts. Hu is not happy that these old people are so old, and they are still with the old people. Wu danced together, they didn't appreciate my good intentions, and in the winter of life and death, they dragged me back all day.

So, usually, as long as they don't jump in front of them, the tigers will ignore them, and it's pure if they don't see them. Er said that he wanted to build a new thatched hut, his eyes sharpened, and he asked Lin Luo:

"Is it because those old men want you to help them build thatched huts again? Don't worry about them. They haven't lived in the same way these years, and it's not like they can't live without thatched huts."

Lin Luo didn't expect Hu to react so strongly. These are old people. Lin Luo grew up in Huaxia in elementary school and respected the old and loved the young. He couldn't accept Hu's reaction in his heart, but his reason told him that this era is not his own. In the place where I lived since I was a child, the lives of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are the least valuable here. After a daze, Lin Luo sorted out her thoughts, and then said:

"No, they didn't mention it to me, I suggested it myself, and the hut was not built for them, but for the whole tribe. You think, if the hut in Ling is built, everyone will You can live in it without worrying about the wind and rain, the sun and the rain, we will grow old one day, and it will be such a happy thing to have such a shelter.”

Since in this primitive era, a series of rules and morals have not yet appeared, Lin Luo thought, then, let's create a great country by himself and form the life system he wants.
