The little deer was very hurt, because ever since his food was taken away that day, every day thereafter, the man, the wolf, and the deer would come to share his milk.
It wanted to stop this group of milk thieves, but its father did not help it. Not only did he not help it, he also assisted the two-legged beast in driving it aside and preventing it from coming over, making it easier for the little two-legged beast to steal its milk.
Looking at the old man with a wretched face, with his upper lip tilted up to reveal his upper front teeth after taking a sip of milk, Xiaolu strongly doubted whether he was his biological son...
Ever since he discovered deer milk that day, Han Cheng would come over every day to squeeze some.
According to convention, some would be given first to Uncle Deer, who fought for milk for his children, and his lackey, Tui Fujiang. The rest would be taken back to the tribe and boiled, then divided into three portions.
Han Cheng and Wu had about the same number. Shi Tou had the least, only half a mouthful. But he was also extremely happy because even the leader didn't get a share of the deer milk.
Considering the growth of the fawn, Han Cheng didn't squeeze out too much, just half a bowl every day.
Eating less milk will not have much impact on the fawn, because it can already eat grass and does not rely entirely on milk to survive.
Han Cheng also did not feel guilty towards the doe being milked. After each milking, he would feed the doe a few washed rapeseed plants.
You know, these rapeseeds were basically the patent of Uncle Lu in the past.
Under Han Cheng's operation, the matter of deer milk became a win-win situation for everyone.
Of course, this ignores the aggrieved little deer.
Because the production of deer milk is very low, the only ones in the Qingque tribe who can drink deer milk are Han Cheng, the son of God, the witch, and Shitou, who is being trained as the next witch.
No one thought there was anything wrong with this.
After all, deer are not cows. Once a fawn grows to a certain age, its milk will gradually disappear and it is impossible to provide stable milk all the time.
In order to have enough milk to drink all the time, Han Cheng would do some ideological work on Uncle Deer when feeding him, telling him to stop wandering around and to pamper his harem more so that he and the others would have enough milk to drink.
But this guy is not smart. No matter what Han Cheng says, he remains indifferent. If it weren't for its short legs, Han Cheng would definitely kick its butt...
As the days passed, the weather gradually became warmer, and the ice and snow began to melt. When the rapeseed on the west side of the wall showed its head from under the ice and snow, yawned with sleepy eyes, and then began to turn from yellow to green as if waking up, spring truly arrived.
Spring is here, and many things that I wanted to do but couldn’t do before can finally be done now.
After the witch led everyone to offer sacrifices to the gods in heaven and the son of god standing nearby, following an order from the eldest brother, the people of the Qingque tribe took the tools they made in winter and began to dig the earth and mud.
At Han Cheng's suggestion, the first thing to do was not to raise the wall, but to cover the unfinished deer shed with soil.
This is because with the arrival of spring, the amount of rain will increase. After the roof of the deer pen is made first, it will not only provide a place for the deer to shelter from the wind and rain, but also reduce the exposure of wooden products such as rafters and fences on the ceiling to rain, thereby reducing the chance of rotting.
After half a winter of living together day and night, the people of the original Pig Tribe have now completely integrated into the Green Bird Tribe.
They were very curious about the upcoming work.
The eldest brother placed the bone shovel on the ground, held the handle of the shovel with both hands, raised his right foot and stepped hard on the right side of the upper part of the shovel, and the sharp bone shovel drilled into the wet soil.
He grasped the handle of the shovel with both hands and pulled it back with a little force, and a large piece of soil was lifted up from the ground.
The rest of the people were also doing their own work.
Because the people of the Pig Tribe had never come into contact with such tools, nor had they performed such labor, they seemed very unfamiliar with digging, carrying water, or mixing mud.
But it doesn’t matter. These tasks are not that complicated. You will become proficient in them after doing them for a few days.
Taking the tribe's own defense into consideration, before digging the soil, Han Cheng first drew two lines three meters apart and parallel to the wall on the outside of the tribe's east wall, fifteen meters away from the wall, and asked everyone to dig the soil and mud along these two lines.
His idea was simple. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to build a "retaining ditch" on the east side of the wall.
Anyway, whether it is pasting mud on the fence, raising the wall or building a house, a lot of soil needs to be dug. What he did is killing two birds with one stone.
At the beginning, the eldest brother and others were a little confused about the arrangements made by the Son of God.
This was mainly because the deer pen was being built inside the wall, but the Son of God had them dig soil and mud outside the wall.
The deer pen and the place where mud is mixed are far away from the gate of the courtyard wall, and are separated by the wall. Even if there is a shoulder pole, it will take a lot of effort to transport the mud into the wall.
But their confusion soon disappeared.
Because Han Cheng had someone tie two ropes on the animal skin packages that were previously used to wrap mud or fruit.
The two ends of each rope are tied to the adjacent corners, and a "ash bag" is ready.
When using it, stretch the "ash bag" on the ground, then shovel the mixed mud and put it on the animal skin. After shoveling a certain amount of mud, put the two ropes together, carry it with one hand and walk away.
This saves a lot of effort than simply wrapping it with animal skin, and it is also easier to do.
At the beginning, Han Cheng actually wanted to use a straw basket, but the straw basket was not strong enough. It was okay to use it to hold dry soil, but it would be too easy to damage if used to hold mud.
Moreover, because the space inside the straw basket is too large, it is easy to put too much in it, which makes it too difficult to transport.
It is far less convenient to use than the sturdy and wear-resistant animal leather 'gray bag'.
Of course, the problem of long transportation distances will not be solved with just an ash bag. This also requires the use of a tool, which is a rope with a hook.
Ropes are not rare in the Qingque tribe now. Thanks to the gyroscope, their speed in making ropes has been greatly improved.
By now, they had a lot of unused ropes, and the tool would be ready if they just tied a wooden hook to one end of the rope.
With these two tools, the person responsible for transporting the soil outside only needs to carry the soil to the edge of the wall, and then hook the two ropes of the "ash bag" with the hanging wooden hooks.
The rest of the work will be done by the people standing on the inner low wall.
