Because the main force of the tribe had been busy building the wall, the rest of the people were busy harvesting grass, rapeseed, collecting tree branches, weaving bamboo shoots, and burning tiles. In addition, it was Han Chengxin who decided to use stones to lay the foundation, so they had not had time to collect stones.
This forced the Qingque tribe to stop construction of the house they had been working on just after digging the foundation...
After the whole group went out to transport stones for a day and a half, they started to build the foundation.
The stones that took a day to transport were certainly not enough to build a complete foundation, but they could solve the immediate problem.
After getting this pile of stones, three skilled wall builders were left behind to follow Han Cheng's instruction and arrange the stones of different sizes as neatly and firmly as possible.
The big stones are used to outline the general contours, and the smaller stones are used to fill the gaps as needed. The remaining gaps that cannot be filled with stones are filled with mud scooped up with a bone shovel. In this way, the foundation is very solid.
The ones who stayed behind to lay the foundation were the eldest brother, the junior brother Sha, and a man who was originally from the Pig Tribe, all men.
Because building a wall with irregular stones requires not only good eyesight and the ability to "put together", but also a lot of strength to constantly pick up or turn over the stones and put them in the right place. In this matter, men have a natural advantage.
The eldest brother and others originally only knew that they could use stones to grind stone tools, or use stones as throwing weapons, but they had never thought of using stones to build walls.
Now, after doing this under the guidance of Han Cheng, he immediately felt that this method was good. The wall built of stones looked stronger than the mud wall, and the stone wall was not afraid of wind and rain.
Many people felt as if they were suddenly enlightened. They had not imagined that this stone could have such a use.
The eldest brothers had performed quite well when they were building the deer shed and the fence. Their learning ability was not as bad as imagined. What they lacked was only experience.
In addition, he had done a lot of similar things over the past year, and with Han Cheng's guidance, he started to build the foundation using a method he had never used before, and he got the hang of it quickly.
This is probably what is called analogy.
Three of them will lay the foundation, and the rest will go to find and transport stones, so there will be no delay in the progress.
There are many scattered rocks on the western edge of the hill where the Qingque tribe built the cave. The rocks here are very hard, mostly black or basalt with a little green.
There are many holes in some basalts. Han Cheng knows that this is caused by the air being trapped in the magma flow during the volcanic eruption.
Most of the stone tools owned by the Qingque tribe were made from materials selected here.
This time Han Cheng wanted to use stones to lay the foundation, and the people of the Qingque tribe also moved the stones here.
Due to the long-term production of stone tools, there are a lot of scattered gravel here.
Something happened!
A man from the Qingque tribe was carrying two halves of a stone on a shoulder pole to the west side of the tribe's wall when the pole suddenly broke. The two halves of the stone fell to the ground, and some of the stone rolled out and hit his left foot, stripping off a large piece of skin from the instep. His big toe and second toe were completely black and purple, and the toenails of the two toes were bound to fall off!
Fortunately, the stone fell to the ground first and then rolled to his feet, otherwise, Han Cheng felt that there would be a fourth lame person in the Qingque tribe.
Gather seven dragon balls to summon a dragon, gather ...
Han Cheng thought about the appearance of seven people who had more than one leg injured walking together, and felt that it would be better not to gather them together. Although the Qingque tribe now has more tasks to do, if one injures a leg, he will not become a disabled person or a burden as before, but it is better not to get injured if possible.
Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter day by day, which is completely different from winter. The wounds can easily get infected and inflamed.
In the past, many people in the Qingque tribe died due to infected wounds that gradually festered. The injured Liang remembered this very clearly, because his mother accidentally hit her foot while making stone tools, and then slowly died from the festers.
The wound on my mother's foot is not as big as the one on my own foot...
Liang sat on the ground, holding his injured foot, trembling all over.
Partly because of the pain, but more because of thinking of his mother.
Han Cheng came upon hearing the news and was relieved when he saw Liang's injuries. Such an injury would heal after a period of rest. Since there were no broken bones, the impact would not be significant.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
He saw Liang trembling all over and shedding big tears. Although he felt a little strange, thinking how could this guy, a primitive man, not eat melons and not be able to bear even this little pain? But he still smiled and comforted him.
Han Cheng asked two people to carry Liang and go into the tribe. He walked around the area and pulled out a few green, fat plants with thorns on the leaves and a purple flower on top, then followed them back.
This plant is very common and is also very common in later generations. Han Cheng called it "thorny horn bud", but he didn't know what its scientific name was.
This plant has a good hemostatic effect. When I was a child, when I cut my hand while cutting grass, I would pinch some leaves of the 'thorny horn bud', rub them, and cover the wound with them, and the bleeding would stop quickly.
In fact, this plant has another use, which is to pretend to be dead.
If you pluck the purple flowers on the 'thorny horn bud' and chew them, they will soon turn a color very similar to blood, and even your tongue and teeth will be stained.
He shouted, "Come on, little devils! Grandpa is a brave man again after 18 years!"
Then he spurted out blood and slowly fell to the ground in a posture that he thought was extremely tragic and righteous... Han Cheng did similar things many times when he was a child.
Liang saw the smile on Shenzi's face, heard what he said, and remembered that in winter, Shenzi saved Ruhua, whose intestines had fallen out, and he felt a little relieved.
The appearance of the Son of God was like a ray of light, breaking through the fear that had enveloped him.
The Son of God will definitely find a way!
The frightened Liang said this to himself more than once.
After arriving at the tribe, Han Cheng ordered people to boil hot water and add the refined salt into the hot water.
“This might be painful.”
Han Cheng said to Liang, who wasn't shaking as badly.
Liang nodded vigorously, indicating that he was ready to let the Son of God do whatever he wanted.
The fear of death and the strong desire to survive made it easy for him to overcome the pain of "rubbing salt into the wound".
The salt water, which was about 60 degrees, washed away the stains on Liang's feet and rinsed the large wound on the back of his feet over and over again. The strong stimulation made Liang's feet involuntarily arch upwards.
The blood that had stopped slightly resumed flowing again as Han Cheng cleaned it and Liang moved...
