At noon, the person who stayed in the tribe to cook finished his meal and came out to say something to the person standing guard on the low wall on the west side. That person then opened his voice to inform the people who were busy in the fields not far in front of him that it was time for dinner.

The people of the Green Bird Tribe felt very happy as they held large bowls and ate the soup cooked with salt.

Although Han Cheng has only invented salt for more than a year, it has already been deeply imprinted in the bones of the Qingque tribe, just like a habit that has been passed down for a long, long time and is deeply rooted.

If at this time, they were asked to eat broth without salt, most of them would find it difficult to swallow.

Salt is such a magical existence.

When eating, many people would involuntarily look up at the built house. On the wall under the eaves, there were not only a lot of meat being dried, but also grains divided into several bundles hanging there.

They could never get enough of this scenery.

The eldest brother ate very quickly. He placed two chopsticks across the bowl, threw the empty bowl away, wiped his mouth and went to rest.

After taking a short nap, I will go back to reclaiming the wasteland and finish this area before dark.

Han Cheng called the eldest senior brother and told him to wait a moment as he had something to show him.

The eldest senior brother stopped as he was told and looked at the Son of God with some anticipation, wondering what good things the Son of God had come up with.

Han Cheng did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this, and many people heard it. They all quickened their eating pace, wanting to follow and see what was going on.

Well, curiosity is probably innate.

The lame man at the side ate his meal even faster, because the thing the Son of God was talking about came from his hands.

When Han Cheng finished his meal, everyone around him had already finished eating. Han Cheng sniffed helplessly, smiled and waved to everyone, then walked towards the open area in the courtyard.

Han Cheng nodded to Bo, who was looking at him excitedly. Bo then limped quickly to the three tiled houses and came out again in a blink of an eye, holding an oval raft in his hand.

This raft is different from the common rafts used to clamp walls during construction in the Qingque tribe. The weaving technique is much more complicated, similar to the weaving technique of the raft head, but more complicated and the raft is also stronger.

The raft was not big, only 80 centimeters long and 50 centimeters wide at its widest point. It was somewhat similar to the pot lids made of split wooden sticks and grass stems in the tribe.

Everyone looked at this familiar yet strange thing, and for a moment they could not guess the Son of God's intention. They didn't know what this strange-looking raft could be used for.

The version is definitely not possible because it is too small.

It is also not a good idea to use it to cover a soup pot, as there are too many gaps and air can leak through.

Han Cheng took the strange-looking raft from Lame's hand, grasped the wooden handle with a diameter of two or three centimeters that was horizontally placed in the middle of the back of the raft, and lifted it up.

The wooden handle is arc-shaped, with a span of about ten centimeters, and the highest point is about five centimeters away from the raft.

Like the handle of the raft, the two ends are woven directly into the raft.

If you have enough strength, you can put more than 200 kilograms of stones into the woven raft and lift it up without the handle separating from the raft. You can imagine how strong the handle in the middle of this strange-looking raft is.

Well, I guess many people have already guessed what this thing is, so I won’t keep you in suspense.

Yes, this is a shield.

Although it looks a bit strange and too simple, it has everything a shield should have.

In fact, Han Cheng had been thinking about improving weapons for a long time. However, due to the current limited conditions, many things could not be produced. In addition, various things were complicated. He had not yet figured out what kind of weapon to make, what materials to use, and how to make it, so it was put aside.

After such a long period of preparation, it can be said that the time, place and people are all right, so this woven vine shield came into being.

In fact, at the beginning, Han Cheng didn’t think about making a shield, but wanted to make an offensive weapon.

He forgot where he heard the saying "offense is the best defense", but it has always remained in his mind. He was also excited and felt that offense was more stylish than passive defense.

This thought continued until he saw the "rice bowl" of a primitive woman who was breastfeeding her child, and then it came to an abrupt end.

There was a green mark on the "rice bowl" that the primitive woman prepared for her child. It was the mark left by the stones of the Tengshe tribe who attacked last winter.

When Han Cheng saw it, it was almost three months since the Teng Snake Tribe attacked.

More than three months have passed, and the bruises on this primitive woman's body have not completely disappeared, which shows that she was seriously injured.

It was this bruise that had not completely disappeared that made Han Cheng completely change his mind.

Fighting with weapons in hand and watching the enemies fall one by one at the hands of your own people can indeed make one's blood boil, but how can there be such a good thing in this world where you can only gain advantages without suffering any losses?

The last time the Qingque tribe took advantage of the wall, they still got injured, not to mention chasing and fighting others with weapons...

Speaking of defensive weapons, Han Cheng's first thought was armor. He doesn't need the kind from Armor Hero, just ordinary ones will do.

However, such high requirements are obviously beyond the reach of the Qingque tribe with their current level.

So the next best thing is to build a shield.

The materials currently available to the Qingque tribe include wood, stone and soil.

It was obviously impossible to make a shield out of stone, but clay could be made into pottery, and with Heiwa's current level, it was not impossible to make a pottery shield, but it was too heavy and too fragile...

Han Cheng's subsequent idea was to find some wooden sticks of similar thickness, split them in half, and then place them together with the flat surface facing upwards to make them into a shield.

Then draw three horizontal lines on the back, and along these lines, dig grooves two centimeters deep, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Then use a wooden strip that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top to pass through the groove from the edge. In this way, these loose wood pieces will be firmly connected together.

He told this idea to Bo bit by bit, and then they tried to make it together, and then... they gave up.

This approach requires too many tools and techniques.

Thinking of the Nanman rattan armor army that Zhuge Liang had burned, and seeing the common rafts in his own tribe, plus Bo had already mastered the technique of weaving rafts, the rattan shield appeared...
