It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

After several days of preparation, Song Lai's pottery was almost dry in the shade.In the past few days, Song Lai used the sweet root candy and lotus root he found to make lotus root candy to fool the children of the tribe. They helped him pick up a lot of wood, and built a simple one-meter-long building with stones and mud near the camp. Put the pottery that has been dried in the shade into the kiln chamber, and then put some newly picked branches around the kiln, and light it in the fire pit.Song Lai waited for the pottery to come out of the kiln with peace of mind.

The cross-section of a vertical pit kiln is somewhat like an hourglass, with two ends thick and the middle thin. Generally, the entire structure is at the bottom, but the productivity of myself and the children around me is too low, so I had to put half of the structure on the ground, although it will lose some The temperature, but Song Lai thought about the primitive pottery burners he saw in Xishuangbanna before. They fired pottery directly with hay. He couldn’t make pottery if he had no reason to have a kiln.Song Lai consciously led these children to systematically explain the benefits of pottery and the method of making kilns.These skills will be used in the future.Since living here, Song Lai hopes that his living environment will be better, better now.Maybe one day I can turn this tribe into the same place as my original place.

The temperature of the kiln gradually increased, and the surrounding air was a little distorted by the temperature. Song Lai led the children back a little. The wish to have some barbecue in the kiln hole before was really a bit whimsical, but the surrounding The branches were all dry.Oss leaned on his crutches and walked slowly from a distance. "What is this?" "I'm making pottery, getting some pots and pans." Oss looked at Song Lai with a dark and profound look in his eyes.Like a bottomless pool.Oscar nodded slightly.

"How do you spend the winter in your tribe?" Oss didn't ask any questions, only a calm statement, as if to say, look, today is a sunny day, as clear and breezy.winter?For Song Lai, winter is just a season, without any other meaning, nothing more than more festivals and colder weather.Live as you want, but obviously this is not what Oss wants to hear.Song Lai couldn't help but think of the quarrel between Oss and An Ye a long time ago. At that time, Song Lai still couldn't understand the words here, and always felt that the quarrel had something to do with him.

"We usually stay in a warm house in winter." Song Lai chose the simplest one after weighing it for a long time.As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Oss's expression changed a little. It was a feeling of shock, doubt, and envy. "A warm house?" Oss's head tilted like a burning pottery kiln, "Uh~ Of course it's not this one, it's bigger and more complicated than this one." Song Lai really admired Oss's imagination and Comprehension.The intelligence of the ancient people was far beyond Song Lai's imagination.

"Song Lai, can you still find your tribe now, or do you know which direction your tribe is in?" "I can't go back, and I will never go back to my original tribe." Oss was a little disappointed lowered his head.It caused Song Lai to roll his eyes for a while, please, I am the one who can't go home, why are you so upset? !

"Song Lai, are all of your tribe hairless?" Oss who said these words looked at the baby behind Song Lai.Oss's words made Song Lai's hairs stand on end, and that numbness instantly covered his whole body. "Uh, most of my tribe are hairless people, but there are also many powerful hairy people." Song Lai thinks that this is also a white lie, after saying that those people in the west with thicker hairs obviously have hair. Hairy man!I didn't lie much myself.

Oss nodded lightly after listening to Song Lai's words, "Winter is coming in two or three months, the lotus root you brought back recently and the men from the lotus seed tribe have no time to get it, you take it with you tomorrow Ladies, go pick them back." After saying that, Oss left.Did he come here to warn himself to be quiet?Song Lai scratched his head, forget about him, it's more important that he doesn't have a washbasin to wash his face and cook with a rice cooker, no matter what he thinks, he still has that big man An Ye standing in front of him.Gently patted the baby behind him, turned around and went back to the pottery kiln to direct the children to continue adding branches.

Song Lai's pottery kiln burned from noon to night, adding all the branches picked up for five or six days, and then everyone went home to let the kiln cool down slowly by itself.Song Lai tossed and turned in the night and couldn't sleep well. He always wanted to run to see how the kiln he was burning was doing. "My kiln should be fine. I haven't heard any explosions all afternoon. It should be fine." It must be successful." An Ye pulled Song Lai into his arms, pressed his head on his chest, "Sleep, you've been saying this since dinner, and you'll know what it's like tomorrow." Song Lai let out a long sigh, and finally calmed down when he heard An Ye's heartbeat, just about to fall asleep in a daze, the little ancestor woke up with a "beep, beep, beep".Song Lai struggled to get up, but was held down by An Ye, who lightly patted himself on the shoulder a few times, "Go to sleep, I'll go"

Hearing faintly the sound of An Ye picking up the baby and putting it beside the bed, then untiing the animal skin, removing the diaper, and throwing the diaper into the clamshell, then An Ye washed his hands, alas, An Ye washed his hands in time but he insisted on it for a long time Let him develop a good habit.The fish soup kept warm on the firepit was the baby's food, and it sounded like An Ye was feeding the baby.Song Lai fell asleep in a daze with peace of mind.

Song Lai's sleep was unexpectedly peaceful, and it wasn't until Rich ran over to call him that he woke him up.Song Lai took a bunch of children and a few curious adults to the pottery kiln together. The temperature of the pottery kiln was already very low, but Song Lai still didn't dare to open the kiln lightly. When it's completely cooled down, you can think about it again, what should you say if you still crack after it cools down, forget it and start the kiln!

Song Lai called several adults to knock open the ground part of the pottery kiln carefully. The pottery that was put into the kiln seemed to be in good shape, with a faint luster. Song Lai was overjoyed, bowed his head and reached out He just went to get a bowl, but "Oh..." Song Lai's poor little hand was scalded to a juicy blister. If he hadn't let go in time, he probably would have gained a proficient finger.Song Lai blew on his finger, and the sadness in his heart flowed like a river, but "giggle" Song Lai turned his head with his eyes wide open, and saw the baby biting his finger, looking at Song Lai smiling happily. It's the first time I made another sound, but it's okay for you to laugh or something. The problem is what does it mean to laugh so happily when your father and I are unlucky.Song Lai completely forgot that his appearance was only 11 years old, it was too early to be a father.

"Shut up" Song Lai yelled at the baby fiercely, but the baby ignored his ferocity, stretched out two hands to hold Song Lai's head, and took a bite. Song Lai held the baby's saliva and thought deeply. Is the child trying to be cute to himself or is he gnawing on himself as a sweet root when he is hungry.

The opened pottery kiln dissipated heat very quickly. After seeing the blisters on Song Lai's hands, everyone obediently did not touch the beautiful pottery at the bottom of the kiln, and waited obediently. Song Lai This time, I carefully reached out and finally touched the non-heating pottery. Perhaps because of the high temperature, there was a layer of glaze on the naughty pottery. It was black at first glance, but with the shaking of the hand, there were other colors that seemed to be on the pottery. flow.Ambilight.After inspecting the fired pottery, there was only a pot with a diameter of 20 centimeters that was burnt in a flat shape, and a plate with a diameter of more than [-] centimeters was cracked in two, and the rest were miraculously still alive.Thinking of Dad Duobaogeli's precious rabbit hair Jianzhan, Song Lai curled his lips, "Master, I can make a batch of them casually."

Seeing that Song Lai was not hurt when he picked up the pottery, everyone rushed up to hold the pottery at the bottom of the kiln in their hands, and then watched and discussed in amazement. Song Lai didn't dare to make pottery too complicated for the first time. What I burned were bowls, pots, and pots. I said that there was not much soil that I could carry. I only made [-] bowls, two pots, two plates, and a pot.

Seeing that everyone was holding pottery in their hands and didn't want to put it down, they couldn't help laughing. It would be a bit far-fetched if these things were all their own. After all, the children helped him pick up branches to build a pottery kiln.So everyone present was given a bowl. Fortunately, there were not many people, and finally three bowls were left, which happened to be one for each member of the family of three. Song Lai took all the remaining pottery back to the shack, holding the plates in his hand. Go to Oscar's house.

Oss was putting the lotus seeds on the stone to break them, and seeing Song Lai coming in was a bit embarrassing, Song Lai thought why you were so embarrassed when you knocked your lotus seeds and saw me.I walked into the house and saw the fish stewed in the firepit. Didn’t I go to my house to look for me and didn’t see me, but I saw the fish soup on the firepit for the baby and ate it secretly?

Seeing Song Lai's sudden realization, Oss explained even more awkwardly, "Uh, the food in your pot is delicious, so I just tasted it." It seems that I will make it all over again when I get home. I was in a hurry and didn't even look at how much was left in the pot. Looking at the old man's appearance, I guess I couldn't eat less.

Seeing Ao Si's distressed appearance, Song Lai felt a little sad.This wise old man brought back An Ye, who was abandoned by his parents, and picked up the time-traveling self, the old man who had never slept well because of the fire of the tribe for many years.He even went to steal his own fish soup.

Song Lai turned around and left Oss's house, returned to his hut, took pepper and salt and brought some sweet root syrup, and came to Oss' squatter once, Oss still kept the appearance of Song Lai leaving , Seeing Song Lai go and come back, he was a little stunned.Song Lai put the baby on Oss's bed, washed his hands and prepared to cook, and handed the plate he just brought to Oss, Oss came over in a hurry, "Is this the pottery you mentioned?" "Yes, yes , is lighter than stone tools, and can be shaped into any shape you want, but it is not as strong as stone tools, and it cannot be dropped, and it will shatter when it is dropped."

Oss took the plate Song Lai gave him and meditated. Song Lai began to wash the lotus root, grind the pepper, and helped Oss up and put him on the bed. As a result, the baby woke up immediately and began to cry aggrievedly. Lai lightly pinched the baby's little cheek, this kid has been eating well and sleeping warm recently, his little face is plump and round, very beautiful. "Be good, don't cry, go to sleep, your father and I will still be there."

When An Ye walked into the shed with two pieces of meat, he saw Song Lai busy in and out of the shed, while Oss was sitting on the bed as a thinker, the baby woke up and was biting his finger, saw him coming in He even stretched out his hands, humming towards him to hug him.Seeing An Ye's appearance, Song Lai knew that he had guessed correctly. An Ye would give Auss a share of the meat allocated to him by the tribe. supported by the entire tribe.
