Chapter 41 The Ambition of Baldness

The next day, some women were twisting hemp ropes, while others were cleaning the ground. Luo Chong had just drawn an area and asked them to clean it up and start building the barn.

Luo Chong no longer cared about the copper smelting. The cripple and four friends were enough. The five of them were just constantly casting copper plates and tin plates. The specific alloy casting steps required Luo Chong's guidance because the proportions used were different. Luo

Chong was now leading the women to build the barn. The logging team had already cut down a lot of trees. They were all about 20 cm in diameter, but very long. Each tree was more than ten meters high, like a telephone pole.

Cut off 4-meter lengths and saw them into wooden stakes. Insert one stake into the ground at a distance of two meters to form a rectangular circle. Tie two horizontal beams to the gaps to fix them. Then use branches to weave a fence and fix it on the wooden fence to make a simple wall. Finally, apply a layer of mud and the work is done.

There is a wooden shed facing north and south in the animal pen, with a height of four meters. In order to accommodate the baby macaques, the shed uses a lot of wood, which is airtight, and is covered with a thick layer of mud, which can be regarded as a real wall.

There is a row of small holes on the south side, and outside is a feeding trough, where you can stick your head out to eat grass. Of course, there are two goods that are not needed, as long as you stick your nose out, everything will be solved.

After everything is built, the "grass mountain" piled outside must also be bundled and stacked in the circle to prevent it from being destroyed by other animals or people.

The people of the Han tribe are busy with their duties, and the bald tribe is also busy.

The bald tribe originally had 92 people, which can be said to be much larger than the Han tribe, but after exchanging 9 people with the Han tribe for pottery last time, there are not so many people.

Nine people were exchanged, two children died of illness, and an adult male was eaten by a lynx. The population dropped sharply and now there are only 80 people, which is not as many as the current population of the Han tribe. However, Xie Ding did not know this. When he came to trade last time, Luo Chong had not returned yet, so he did not know that Luo Chong brought back 30 people.

Xie Ding's tribe had no elders and no knowledge inheritance, but Xie Ding was very good at imitating and learning. He learned the basket weaving and spears of the Han tribe, and they also made their own stone-tipped spears. Xie Ding even wanted to learn how to make pottery.

Xie Ding's tribe lived in a cave. There was a mountain spring seeping out of the cracks in the deep cave, and it gathered on the ground to form a small pool of water, with an area of ​​less than two square meters. That was the source of water for their daily life.

It was okay in normal times, but in late autumn, the mountain spring above the pool would stop flowing. At that time, they could only go to the small river 3 kilometers away to fetch water, which was very inconvenient, so they needed a lot of containers to store water.

In order to obtain pottery, Xie Ding did not hesitate to use up all the salty stones to exchange with the Han tribe. Without salt, at most he would be weak, but he would not die, and he could also supplement some salt by drinking animal blood and eating animal organs. But it would not work without water, especially since Xie Ding had deeply fallen in love with the taste of broth.

So last time he came to trade with the Han tribe in person, just to get more pottery, but he still failed to get what he wanted, so he planned to rob.

According to Xie Ding's idea, there were less than 10 adult men in the Han tribe, while they had 15. It should be no problem to defeat them and take away their pottery and food.

As for taking people back, Xie Ding had never thought about it. More people would consume more food. Xie Ding did not think he could get so much food to feed more people, otherwise he would not have used population to exchange for pottery.

That morning, Xie Ding led all the adult males in the tribe, including himself, a total of 15 people, each with several spears, and marched towards the Han tribe in a mighty manner, ready to defeat the Han tribe's hunting team in one fell swoop, and then go to their settlement to plunder.

By noon, Xie Ding's front-line scouts had already scouted the location of the Han tribe's hunting team, and immediately went back to tell Xie Ding that they were cutting trees in the forest.

"Cut trees? What are you cutting trees for?" A question appeared in Xie Ding's mind, but Xie Ding didn't think much about it. I don't care what you do, as long as I defeat you.

At this time, in the coniferous forest on the ridge, Dashu and Shouya were still cutting trees. They worked very quickly today, with three large axes, two long saws, and two hand saws. With such equipment, a tree with a diameter of less than 30 cm can be cut down in less than fifteen minutes.

Spend some time to clean up the branches, and you can basically get a clean log in half an hour.

And this is just the speed of one group. In addition to the elders, the cripple and Luo Chong, the remaining six adult men of the Han tribe plus the four from the Yuanshu tribe, a total of 10 people, three people in a group, one person watching the blue antelope, each group has a big axe, basically within half an hour, they can knock down three trees at the same time.

The one watching the antelope today is the wooden pig. The six antelopes are now grazing on the hillside. Later, they will go home in pairs, dragging three logs.

At this time, a group of people suddenly ran from the mountain across the valley, each holding a spear. The wooden pig, who had witnessed the attack of the cannibals, naturally knew that these people had bad intentions, and immediately shouted to the ridge "There are enemies", then immediately pulled the reins and dragged the blue antelopes back.

Dashu could naturally understand this kind of dialect, and immediately told Du'er that they had enemies with gestures and words.

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, picked up their weapons and prepared to fight, and no one ran away.

This is very interesting. Dashu once killed people with Luo Chong. He is no longer the same Dashu. Naturally, he will not be a deserter again.

As for Shouya and Du'er, they are warmongers who don't care about their lives. How can a boy who has his ears torn off by a lynx and whose face is covered with blood still dare to confront the lynx head-on run away?

The wooden pig led the six blue antelopes and ran away. Xie Ding led his men to chase them closely until they reached the ridge. The sound of breaking wind came from behind the wooden pig.

Then there were screams. The two blue antelopes at the back were shot by spears and fell to the ground. The other four tied to them were still running wildly, dragging the bodies of their two companions all the way to the "Grass Mountain" of the Han tribe.

"Wooden pig, come here quickly."

Dashu shouted to the front, and then took out the stone axe from his waist. When the wooden pig ran to his side, Xie Ding had already led his men to within 50 meters.

The Han tribe members hiding behind the tree pulled out a stone axe from their waists, looked at each other, and suddenly rushed out from behind the tree. In an instant, 9 stone axes swirled and pounced on Xie Ding and his men.   "Ah, help!" "Plop, plop"

Under   the   attack of 9 stone axes, Xie Ding killed 3 people in an instant, and two people were injured. Only ten people were still moving forward. This was something Xie Ding had not expected.   He thought that the hunting team of the Han tribe should only have about six or seven people. Seeing that he brought so many people, they should be scared and run away. How dare they fight back? And what did they just throw? Why wasn't it a   spear   ?   Xie Ding was angry.   Things shouldn't be like this, so   he immediately gave the order to throw spears again. But as soon as the ten spears flew out, Da Shu and his men hid behind the tree again. "Plop, p ...   There was a whooshing sound, and four more people from the Bald Tribe fell in an instant. The others hid behind the trees in time.   Du'er and the others also hid behind the trees again, waiting for the enemy to attack again, but they did not hear any sound.   It was impossible to attack again, and he would never attack again, even if he was beaten to death. Xie Ding had lost his courage in these two short exchanges of fire. He never expected that this would be the result. The enemy in front of him was too terrible.   And he suddenly found that there were more people in the Han tribe than he expected, probably more than ten people, and he only had eight people left, two of whom were injured. He definitely couldn't fight. It was even a question whether he could run away at this time.   So he immediately took the rest of the people and fled back to the cave. If he returned to the cave at this time, he might be able to save his life.   ~   ~ ~   ~   ~ ~   ~   There are vote marks, collection marks, comment and click on the character to make a heart mark...   (End of this chapter)
