Chapter 136 The House that Broke Ground

Today, Han Cheng looked very happy, and Wu also seemed very energetic. Not only them, but the entire Qingque tribe was shrouded in an inexplicable excitement and anticipation.

At the beginning of spring, many of them learned from Shenzi or other people that Shenzi was going to build something better than a deer pen called a house for the people of the tribe to live in.

The house is more spacious and cleaner than the cave, and the inside is brighter than the cave, and it is warmer than the cave in winter.

The concept of cleanliness was very vague to them before the arrival of the Son of God. Sometimes they would consciously or unconsciously do some cleaning things, but they could not be customized after all.

After the son of God came, he began to let them wash their teeth, wash their faces, take a bath, wash the animal skins, and clean the cave... After doing all these things, when they looked back, they suddenly realized that this was clean.

Something clean and tidy always looks better, and primitives are no exception.

If Han Chengcai had added the advantage of cleanliness when promoting the house last year, the people of the Qingque Tribe would not have felt it, and would even wonder what "cleanliness" is or what "cleanliness" can be. Can't fill my stomach.

But it is obviously different now. Even without Han Cheng's words, no one in the tribe would make himself dirty.

Except, of course, when working.

But even if they get dirty from work, they will take a bath at night, unlike before, I don't know if they can take a bath once a year...

After knowing that the house has so many benefits, they are naturally looking forward to such a good place to live, but the Son of God said that the building of the house can only be started after the wall is raised first, so they can only look forward to it first , From time to time, imagine what a house better than a deer pen would look like.

After such a long period of anticipation, now that the wall is finally built, and the Son of God is finally going to lead everyone to build a house, how could they not be excited?

Even Eldest Brother and others took the initiative to request to shorten the rest time, turning the three days of rest after the wall was built into one day.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Qingque Tribe, Han Cheng, a guy who has only seen building a house but has never done it before, took the rope measure made earlier, and with the cooperation of the lame, calmly and confidently Tolerance is measuring the foundation.

A group of people from the Qingque tribe who didn't know the truth gathered around, looking at them with admiration as if they were gods who knew everything. They were lame and flushed with excitement. One of them didn't walk well and almost fell to the ground.

"here."

Han Cheng poked a small mark on the ground with a wooden stick wrapped around a tape measure, and turned his head and said.

The elder brother who followed hurriedly came over with a stick with a diameter of two centimeters and a length of more than one meter, which was burnt black and sharpened in the fire.

He pointed the tip of the stick at the mark that Han Cheng had just made, held it vertically with one hand, and smashed it down with a stone in the other.

After a few strokes, the straight stick stood firmly there.

After the wooden stick was nailed, four sticks appeared in the open space. Under Han Cheng's signal, the senior brother connected the four sticks with a thin rope, so that one piece was ten meters long and wide. An open space of five meters was circled out.

"dig."

Han Cheng said again.

The people who stood waiting with the bone shovels started to act one after another. They were divided into four groups and excavated along these four lines respectively.

And Han Cheng followed Lai, and then took the rope grass tape measure and began to measure, to divide the rectangle facing south into three evenly.

After nailing four more wooden stakes and pulling two lines, the position of the foundation is completely determined.

The house is on the west side of the cave entrance, about ten meters away from the mountain wall.

After the building was built, the orientation of the house was the same as that of the cave, facing south, which is conducive to collecting sunlight.

The people of the Qingque tribe have already used bone shovels, and digging soil with bone shovels is even more commonplace.

With the joint efforts of everyone, by the afternoon, several foundation trenches 40 cm wide and 40 cm deep had been dug.

Because it is dug along the line, there is no need to worry about digging crookedly.

When the big brother and the others were digging the foundation, those who couldn't get in the way were not idle. Under Han Cheng's arrangement, they were preparing for the next step.

Not cutting sticks, grinding stakes, etc., but going outside to find stones.

After thinking about it, Han Cheng felt that the mud-covered wooden raft that was built when the deer enclosure was built was not strong enough, so he wanted to change it.

"Crack, crack"

Shang put a few stones into two woven tree trunks.

Lift one of the stump heads to this side, so that the distance between them is appropriate.

Then, from the large rock on one side, take the shoulder pole you are leaning on, and put it on the handle made of bent wooden sticks.

There are two truffle heads, one at each end, and the middle of the pole is on his shoulder.

Half-squatting, Shang half-stretched his arms, climbed on the shoulder pole, and held down a stump with one hand, this is to prevent the stud from slipping inside.

Then, exerting force on his body, he stood up from the ground.

The head of the tree with the stones was so heavy that it bent the pole a bit, and it flashed up and down with Shang's pace.

Shang also mastered the skill of carrying things, and walked along with the rhythm of the shaking of the load.

In this way, you can save some effort, and secondly, it is not easy to scatter the things on the burden.

Now we are picking stones, which is not obvious yet. If you can’t master the skills of carrying water with clay pots, you can go from the river to the tribe, and a pot of water can sprinkle half of it.

Shang didn't pick up the stones to the tribe, but came to the west side of the wall, put down the burden, and threw the stones inside the tree head to the edge of the wall one by one with all his strength.

This is not because Shang deliberately didn't pick the stones to the edge of the wall in order to practice the skill of throwing stones, taking this opportunity to show off his muscles, but because with the increase of the wall, the "wall ditch" on the outside of the wall has begun to take shape It is really too troublesome to carry two eucalyptus stones down the ditch, transport them over there and climb up again, so it is better to just throw them over to save trouble.

When a pile is piled up there, use the previous method to put these stones in the stump, pull them up with a rope, and put them on the inside of the wall.

Of course, this is also for those stones that are not too big. If the stones are too big, you can only carry them all the way around the long wall from the mountain behind, enter the courtyard from the south gate, and Then go north and carry the stone to the place where the house is built not too far from the mountain wall.

In this way, it would take at least twice the distance, so when Shang and the others were looking for stones, they tried to find stones of appropriate size.
