Take Baidu to the Wilderness

After putting down the spoon, he didn't continue to make Yan Tu. He raised his head, intending to turn his neck to exercise his muscles and bones. After all, keeping his head down and working on his neck will make his neck sore.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked up, he saw several clansmen standing around watching.It seems that the movement is relatively fast. After finishing the clay pot, I saw the movement on my side, so I came to have a look.

"This is a bowl and a spoon, which can replace the bamboo tube and the bamboo ladle, and it is more convenient to use."

The clansmen had just watched the production process, and they all went back to knead the mud as soon as they heard it. Abu Kuna had already helped to think of a substitute and made a template for everyone to refer to. He should also work hard.

After the children succeeded in pinching out the four different faces of the groundhog, the clansmen also made pottery and began to pick up dead branches that fell naturally in the forest.

Under normal circumstances, if there is no serious shortage of firewood, people in the tribe will not directly cut down trees and dry them for firewood, but will pick up dead branches and leaves under the trees and bring them back to light the fire.After all, the woods on the other side of the stream can be said to be their parents. Apart from hunting, half of the food obtained by the clan comes from the woods.In addition to wild fruits and vegetables, there are also some small, less lethal animals in the forest, such as rabbits and pheasants, which are very rich in products.Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains depends on the water to drink water. Since we rely on it, we have an obligation to protect it.

The forest is very large, even if it is only on the periphery, the natural metabolism of the trees, the broken dead branches and some large fallen leaves are enough to supply the needs of the entire tribe.Occasionally, if the amount is too large, it can be picked up in depth. In short, it will not move a single leaf of those trees unless necessary.

The woods are the treasure of the tribe.

Although Yan Tu also thinks that Lin Zi is a treasure, but just like raising a child, loving him is not the best way to pet him blindly. When necessary, he should be given some setbacks and training so that the child can grow better.

There is a fruit tree not far away, which is dense and full of fruits, but the branch closest to the ground is bare, with a few yellowed leaves hanging on it, and the leaves tremble when the breeze blows. Trembling, it seems that it will fall at any time, which makes people tremble with fear.

It's time to cut it!

Without that dead branch to disperse nutrients, the fruit tree will grow better.

Before applying the paint, I intend to reach out and break off the part that connects the dead branch and the main trunk.

Ella, who was picking up dead branches near Yantu, saw Yantu's movements, and thought that the other party wanted to see what was going on with the tree, so she explained: "It was last year when Kuva and others competed to climb trees. At that time, I stepped too hard and broke the branch. After I trained him, I thought that the tree would take good care of it, and the broken part might heal, but I didn’t expect it to be half dead now.”

After Aila finished speaking, she saw Yan Tu reaching out and breaking off the half-dead branches neatly. She was taken aback and ran over to check the situation.

When Aila touched the broken part of the fruit tree and was thinking about how to remedy it, Yan Tu couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly explained her behavior.

"So, breaking off the dead branches is good for the tree?" After hearing Yan Tu's words, Aila suddenly realized: "No wonder there was a tree like this two years ago, probably because we didn't cut the dead branches, so we didn't cut off the dead branches. It didn’t take long for the whole tree to be dragged down to death. It would be great if I knew earlier, maybe the tree would be fine.” Aila had no doubts about what Abu Kuna said, and she walked forward with a smile on her face Go, want to take him to see the dead tree.

A dead branch drags a tree to death, God's theory!

Yan Tu followed Ella dumbfoundedly to see the fruit tree that was dragged to death.

"Well, here it is."

Yan Tu observed carefully. Unlike the fruit tree just now, this tree could not even be called a tree anymore. Its branches and leaves probably all fell off, leaving a bare trunk standing there. It looks very abrupt in the lush fruit forest.

Taking a closer look, Yan Tu found that the root system of this fruit tree was already broken, and the traces seemed to be gnawed off by some animal with its teeth.After finding out the reason for the dead fruit tree, Yan Tu justified the wronged dead branch: "This tree did not die because of the dead branches. The dead branches will only disperse the nutrients of the tree, and will not make the whole tree lose nutrients. Look here "Yan Tu pointed to the root system: "This tree will die because the roots of the tree were bitten off by animals, and there is no way to absorb water and nutrients."

After speaking, Yan Tu put his hands on the tree trunk, intending to rest for a while before continuing, but who knew that the tree trunk fell directly along with his force, and the roots turned out from the soil.Fortunately, Yan Tu used little strength and stood still, so he didn't fall along with him.

Withdrawing his hand, Yan Tu saw that after the tree fell, the roots were all broken.It was only able to stand upright if no one touched it before, but now when there is an external force, the dead wood, which only relies on some soil to maintain its posture after being cut off, suddenly loses its support and falls down.

Ella was taken aback, and reflexively took a step back. When the tree fell and saw the broken roots, she immediately admired Yan Tu: As expected of Abu Kuna, she even knew this!

Most people today know it!

As a man admired, Yan Tu felt extremely embarrassed, and changed the subject according to the situation: "In addition to dead trees and dead branches that can be cut off, some redundant branches on some fruit trees can also be cut off, which can make the tree grow better .When the fruit tree is just blooming or bearing fruit, there are more flowers and fruits on some branches. We can selectively remove some, so that the fruit will grow bigger and sweeter.” These are the past When sketching in the orchard, the fruit grower casually talked to Yantu, because the impression was deep, and he could speak clearly without Baidu Yantu.

When Yan Tu said this, Ella also realized that the place where the fruit was denser in the past was indeed not as big as the place where the fruit was sparse, and the taste was good.

"Do it from next year." Ella decided.Because Tori is single and there is no patriarch's wife in the clan, all these things are under her control for the time being, and she has the right to make decisions.

After finishing speaking, he dragged away the dead tree that fell to the side, picked up the dead branches for a while, and collected the firewood needed for making pottery.

Everyone went back with firewood, and the pottery was almost dry in the shade.

Put some dead branches in the middle, stack pots, bowls, and spoons together, surround the dead branches, and then wrap the pottery with dead branches and leaves, forming a circle of dead branches → pottery → dead branches.

After the circle was completed, when Yan Tu was about to light the fire, a group of children ran over, holding crooked clay sculptures in their hands, scrambling to be the first, saying in one go: "Don't forget us!"

"My little rabbit is going to be burned too!"

"I want mine too!"

"And mine!"

"I want to burn mine too, if it's not finished, how can I give it to my mother?"

……

Almost forgot about them!

Yan Tu lit a stick of wax for his declining memory, apologized to the children, took the fruits of their labor, pushed aside some firewood to put things in, and then moved the firewood back to its original position.

Hit the flint, and the sparks fall on the dead leaves, and they ignite all at once.

*, burning and baking for several hours, everyone stood by and did not leave, their faces reddened by the flames were full of anticipation.

Compared with adults, the children’s happiness is more obvious. The little friends gather together in twos and threes, squatting on the ground and holding their faces to watch the fire, and occasionally turn their heads and bite their ears with their friends, telling them what they made, and take them out after firing , it must look good and so on.

The pottery was finally fired under the chatter of the children.

The fire was extinguished, leaving only a few ashes.Although the fire was extinguished, the ashes were still hot, and the children's hands were eagerly stretched out to pick it up. Yan Tu took a branch and pushed the ashes away, revealing the fired pottery inside.

Without the cover of ashes, the pottery, which was originally hot, became warm and not hot in a short while.With permission, the children rushed to pick out the pottery sculpture they made by themselves, held it in their hands and cheered, and excitedly presented it to their mothers.

After receiving the praise, I was satisfied and left in groups with my friends, and ran to the side to "appreciate" each other.

After they ran away, the adults started to get the pottery belonging to their own family.

Although the children love to play and quarrel and have a bit of a temper, they are very sensible as half of the labor force in the clan. They also pay great attention to avoiding the pottery when holding the pottery. Apart from the two naturally cracked ones, the others are in very good condition.

Yan Tu kept the two defective products, and gave the rest to Ella, and asked her to share with everyone.

The two cracked pots are clay pots. Fortunately, the cracks are not big, and the shallow ones don't affect the appearance.As long as it is not heated by fire, it is still good for just storing food, water or putting things.

Everyone only made one clay pot. Fortunately, Yantu also made some during the demonstration before, and now it can be replaced.

The clansmen disapproved of Yan Tu's behavior of exchanging good pots for bad pots. In their eyes, Abu Kuna had already helped the tribe a lot, so how could they not let him suffer?

"The pottery pot I made during the experiment before is enough for me and Tori. The two I just made are useless to me. It's good to change it with you. Anyway, I take it back to put things in. Is there any The cracks are all the same." Yan Tu tried to convince them.

In this way, some clansmen are loose, and they really need it.But this can be done later, thinking that the clansmen who had been shaken just now became firm again.

"Clay pots with cracks can't be used for cooking. After being burned for a long time, it may crack completely. I just use it to put things, and it will be fine. But you have to take it back to cook things, in case it is half cooked , The pot cracked and fell down, what should I do if the debris and hot soup splashed on the child?" Seeing that the clansmen were still standing firm, Yan Tu lamented the simplicity of the people here, and at the same time put it another way, attacking the child.

Sure enough, the people who didn't agree at first fell silent, Yan Tu immediately stuffed the good pot into Ella's hands and asked her to share it with everyone.

Ella had to take it and start distributing.

At this time, voices came from a distance, which attracted everyone's attention.
