I'm doing infrastructure in ancient times

Not far from the Jiuli Tribe is the entrance of the dense forest, and now the surrounding trees have been cut down a lot, forming a bare landform.

The tree stumps on the ground were specially set on fire, and nothing was left. It looked very flat, and a hundred or so shirtless men were working in full swing.

Ramming earth is physical work, and you must use your best every time.

Cheng Yang specially built a simple tool for them. He dropped a huge stone to the place, and made a homemade ramming machine by using the principle of leverage. It's ok, but even so, it's still very difficult.

It takes a lot of clay to build a city wall around the current Jiuli tribe. Although the tribe saved a lot of soil when they dug defensive trenches, the loess became thick and firm after being hammered and compacted. At the same time, the weight is also reduced a lot.

The Jiuli Tribe had to dig more clay to make materials, so the entire project volume was actually very large. The hundred or so men were all working hard. Although they complained that they had no rest time, But when it's really the turn to work, no one is lazy.

Cheng Yang went through several tents and walked a long way before arriving near the sheepfold.

Because the two tribes merged before, the location of the buildings in the tribe was also rearranged. Now the tribe occupies a lot of space. With Cheng Yang's footsteps, it still takes a long time to get to the sheepfold. a short time ago.

These penned goats were almost bought by Cheng Yang one by one. Before the winter, the tribe wanted to kill them all to make food reserves. With Cheng Yang's hard work, only six of them were kept. And these six adult goats were carefully selected by him, four females and two males.In fact, he originally planned to keep only one male, but he was worried that if there was something wrong with the only male left, his breeding career would be ruined, so out of caution, he chose to keep it. Two males.

In addition to the six adult goats, there are also two lambs that the chickadee had caught before, and a ewe gave birth to three cubs during the previous winter.All together, the Jiuli Tribe now has eleven goats in total.

Today's Jiuli tribe already knows the importance of these goats. It's not that they are greedy for their meat, but their horns are really important. Only a pair of horns can be made into a pair of bows and arrows.

Not all members of the Jiuli tribe can be allocated a pair of horn bows, only archers can have them. After all, resources are limited, and only those who are talented can make good use of them.

Some of the quick-witted ones had already come to Cheng Yang to order a copy, such as the tits. Remembering that there were two lambs in the sheepfold that he had caught, Cheng Yang readily agreed to this. After the other people reacted, they were very annoyed,

Immediately came to book.

If they had known the current situation earlier, they would have been willing to eat even a little less meat, as long as they could have their own ram's horn bow.

But the number of goats in the tribe is limited after all. It is almost impossible to supply so many people in the tribe. Therefore, if you want to have a sheep's horn bow, you must serve these goats well.

Cheng Yang cared about them very much. He came here almost every day to clean the sheep pens for them and check their bodies. If anything abnormal was found, they would be immediately isolated.

Goats are actually very easy to get sick. If one gets infected, the others will become very dangerous. Cheng Yang really doesn't know anything about veterinary medicine, and he can't even prescribe medicine for them, so isolation is the best way Good method.

Cheng Yang put his palm on a goat and rubbed it lightly. These goats are very familiar with him now, and they don't reject his actions in the slightest. Naturally, Cheng Yang never refused to come, so he rolled them in turn.

There was an extra layer of softness on his hands, Cheng Yang lowered his head, and it was indeed covered with a layer of fine velvet.

The goats will moult in spring, and the fluff that these goats have just fallen off is what rubs against Cheng Yang's hands.

Unexpectedly, the goats began to shed their hair now, Cheng Yang frowned, it seemed that Gu Gu and the others had to get the sacks done quickly, or a lot of cashmere would be wasted.

But besides the sack, he has other things to prepare.

If you want to collect the fluff from those goats, you must need props. What he has seen before is a special iron comb, which is very convenient for collecting cashmere, and now Cheng Yang doesn't even have a trace of iron ore. , Naturally, it is impossible to get a special iron comb.

I don't know if wooden ones are useful.

On the way back, Cheng Yang was so preoccupied that he accidentally bumped into someone.

"Old Featherfin Clan."

The person who came was a little older, and he was an elder from the Shuofeng tribe. Cheng Yang didn't expect to bump into him, and after realizing it, he nodded quickly.

"Humph!"

Facing Cheng Yang's overtures, Feather Fin didn't appreciate it at all, let out a cold snort, and walked directly in front of Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang was a little helpless. This feather-fin elder was a person who had a lot of opinions on him before, and now he has become an empty-rank elder in the tribe because of Cheng Yang's suggestion. Cheng Yang is completely capable of his attitude towards him. I understand, and don't take it too seriously.

He even liked this feather fin quite a bit. Although this person saw that his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose every time, he finished the things Cheng Yang arranged very carefully in the end, and he was quite a contradictory person.

As long as he did what he was supposed to do, Cheng Yang naturally had no objections. He couldn't just ask everyone in the tribe to show a liking to him, it was impossible.

At this stage, Cheng Yang just wants to improve the living standard of the tribe as soon as possible. After all, it directly affects his quality of life. As for whether the tribe hates him or likes him, he actually doesn't pay much attention to it.

There is an open space in front of Cheng Yang's tent, which he specially let the headman let him out during the last rectification, and there is a chicken coop there.

The chicken coop made of wooden strips and animal glue is not cheap, but Cheng Yang is very willing to spend the cost in order to raise the two pheasants well.

After one winter, the two chicks had already grown up. Because of Cheng Yang's careful feeding, both of them grew fat and their bodies were full of brilliance, but the wings were cut by him. .

Although the two pheasants were kept in the cage all the time, Cheng Yang still cut off the feathers on their wings with pottery pieces, which did not hurt their wings, but these two pheasants seldom flew high .

Cheng Yang felt that, on the one hand, it was because they were used to being in the cage, and on the other hand, it was because their wings had been clipped.Caged since childhood, never experienced flying, gave up after the first few failed attempts.

He felt that if these two pheasants were released in the future, they would not fly away, but would return to the tribe obediently.

The two pheasants were fed with shiny oil, which made Cheng Yang always craving the taste of stewed chicken soup. He found that this hen had been squatting motionless on the nest for the past few days, and guessed that it was about to hatch chicks. , so Cheng Yang didn't eat a single wild egg in the past two days, and saved up to hatch chicks for it.

Cheng Yang originally planned to come back to feed the two pheasants, but when he got closer, he realized that there was no need for it. A lot of earthworms were put in the chicken coop, but the two pheasants didn't take the food in front of them seriously at all. , it seems that the two of them had already eaten a lot before he came back, and they are already full.

Thinking of the people he met along the way, Cheng Yang couldn't help laughing. He was still wondering how he could meet the elder of the Featherfin tribe in this area, but he came here specially to feed the two pheasants he raised.

He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. When he saw him, he always acted fiercely, but he didn't expect to feed the two chickens he raised in private.

These two chickens have always been fed by Cheng Yang, and the clansmen didn't regard them as public property, they just regarded them as being raised by Cheng Yang. In the end, the eggs laid by the pheasant went into Cheng Yang's stomach.

And he remembered that Feather Fin was also in charge of tamping the soil outside the tribe, because he met a few earthworms and caught them specially for him, Cheng Yang sighed in his heart, these people are really cute.

He thought, maybe he should go to the woods to hunt some game, so that he can make a tooth-beating sacrifice for the clansmen.

Nowadays, there is indeed no shortage of food in the tribe, and even the tribesmen eat meat every day, but the meat is dried meat that has been marinated for a long time, not to mention the nutritional value, and even the taste is not very good, and it tastes dry when chewed. Not a hint of umami.

After winter, Cheng Yang's body is also nine years old, and his stature has grown a lot. He has never lacked exercise, and his skills are quite vigorous. The most important thing is that he can shoot arrows, and his shooting skills are very good. When it comes to danger, it is not that there is no chance to give it a go. Maybe you can take this opportunity to go out and hunt some fresh meat and come back.

Just do it, after Cheng Yang packed his own things, he took down a sheep's horn bow that had been hanging in the tent. This was a reward specially given to him after attacking Liuren. He is alone.

Cheng Yang deftly carried the quiver behind his back, grabbed the horn bow, and went out. He purposely circled the dense forest.After avoiding the eyes and ears of the tribe, he walked lightly into the dense forest.

The dense forest at this moment is not as peaceful as in deep winter, and hidden under the lush bushes is an unknown crisis.

The hibernating beasts have woken up and started to look for food, and the same is true for human beings. Except for Jiuli, the tribes in the north have gradually entered the dense forest for hunting. .

In order to avoid the clansmen, Cheng Yang chose a completely different route from the past.

Cheng Yang stepped into the dense forest on dead branches. The dense forest he was familiar with before was different. It was very quiet here. Under the cover of the towering giant trees, the sun could not shine in here. There was a bird chirping, and the cry was elongated, which sounded a bit weird.

Cheng Yang clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, and his body was tense. There was something unusual here, which made him dare not take it lightly.
