The cold wind blew across the ground, rolling up some fine snowflakes. The wind blew through the bare branches, making a humming sound, like someone was crying, which sounded a little scary.
In a dark cave, a fire was burning continuously and the air was filled with smoke.
People try to sit, squat or lie down as much as possible inside the cave.
Even when it was necessary to walk back and forth, everyone would lower their bodies as much as possible and walk around in the cave with their backs bent.
This is because if you stand up too high, the smoke can easily get into your eyes.
When smoke gets into your eyes, not only will they hurt, but they will also cause tears, which is very uncomfortable.
“#¥%@#…”
Inside the tribe, beside the fire, a man was mumbling something and sometimes gesturing with his hands.
Next to this man sat the female leader of the Grass Tribe.
At this time, the female leader of the Grass Tribe was looking at the man who was speaking, with longing in her eyes.
It's not just her, the rest of the tribe is the same.
They were all deeply attracted by what this person said.
The person who was speaking was originally from the Bark Tribe.
When they were in the original tribe, Shupi told them a lot about the Green Bird tribe. As time went by, they wrote down what Shupi told them.
Then he used these things as topics of conversation and told them to everyone in the Grass Tribe.
In fact, similar words were spoken long before they joined the Grass Tribe. Many people in the Grass Tribe had longed for the kind of life and the tribe they described.
It's just that at that time, their tribe had just acquired fish cages and bows and arrows through these people, and the amount of food they obtained had experienced explosive growth.
Compared with their previous living conditions, there has been a qualitative leap.
Under such circumstances, although they yearned for the higher-level life of the Qingque tribe, they did not rush in too hard.
But now it is different. On the one hand, the early arrival of the cold has destroyed what they thought was a very good life, making them taste hunger again.
On the other hand, they have been living like this for a year, and have a deeper yearning for the higher-level life of the Qingque tribe.
This may be the dissatisfaction of human beings.
When you have something good, you want something better.
At this moment, listening to the man's story again, everyone in the Grass Tribe felt a burning sensation in their hearts.
Even the eyes of the narrator were filled with longing.
Similar things happened not only in the Grass Tribe, but also in other tribes that captured captives from the Bark Tribe.
The people of the Bark Tribe, who were originally dispersed due to the war, are now affecting more people because of this incident.
This has made more people know about the Qingque tribe and yearn for the kind of life there.
Their yearning and expectation were amplified to the greatest extent under the stimulation of the cold and long winter outside...
"#¥5@#!"
Inside the Blackrock Tribe, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe, whose ear had been frozen off, clenched his fists and shouted loudly with fire in his eyes.
What he shouted meant that after the spring, they would attack the Qingque tribe and take over everything that belonged to the Qingque tribe.
In his opinion, so many good things and such a good lifestyle should be enjoyed by those who possess Black Stone weapons.
If the tribe disagrees, he will bring the people of the tribe, the black stone weapons of the tribe, and their rough wooden boards, and tell them who can own those things!
"#¥5@#!"
The rest of the Blackrock Tribe members also followed suit and shouted loudly.
The excitement is so intense that you can feel it just by listening to the sounds.
These days, they kept listening to Shupi talking about these things, and their yearning for that tribe had reached a peak.
How could they not be excited and cheer when they heard their leader say such words?
Shuba was also among the crowd, cheering along with everyone else, applauding the Blackrock Tribe leader for making such a decision. One person's voice was even louder than two others.
The bark is a heartfelt joy.
Such a long time has passed since he came up with this idea. In the meantime, he even completely threw this idea out of his mind, thinking that it would never come true. He felt upset for a long time because of this.
After going through so many twists and turns, now that this thing is finally going to be accomplished, how can he not be happy and joyful?
The damn leader of the Black Stone tribe is finally going to attack the Green Bird tribe, and this damn guy is finally going to die.
If I do it well, I might be able to return to that tribe and live there again...
Inside the Qingque tribe, Han Cheng sat on a rough fur-padded chair. In front of him were several books bound with needle and thread.
Shitou stood aside, pointing at some things in the booklet and saying something to Han Cheng.
As Han Cheng listened, his eyes scanned back and forth across several open booklets, comparing them.
These books are calendars made of stone in recent years, with each year being a separate book.
The stone was made very carefully, with weather conditions, rain or snow marked for each day, and even events such as wind and thunder were recorded.
After some comparison, Han Cheng raised his head and looked at the snow outside that had not melted yet, and couldn't help but sigh.
This year's winter not only came early, but also left late.
At this time of year in previous years, the ice and snow had basically melted, but now, it has basically not melted.
It seems that we must go south.
No matter what, we must find a safe retreat for our tribe.
Thinking this in his mind, Han Cheng talked to Shi Tou for a while and answered some of Shi Tou's questions about geography. Then he asked Shi Tou to put the booklets away.
Such a booklet is very important to the tribe. It enables people to discover and summarize some patterns from it, allowing them to grasp the changes in the weather more accurately.
It is precisely because of this that, in addition to recording on paper, the tribe also recorded on pottery plates in accordance with Han Cheng’s request.
Compared to paper which is easily eaten by insects and rats if not properly preserved, things made of ceramic plates can be preserved for a longer period of time.
There was another person who left with Shitou. His name was Heitao. He had been eavesdropping when Han Cheng and Shitou were discussing some issues.
This is a minor, quite smart, especially in astronomy, he has a good talent and he also likes these things very much. Han Cheng asked him to learn more from Shi Tou.
I have been following Shitou for almost three months and can be considered as Shitou's apprentice.
I still don’t quite understand the simple calculations of the calendar, but I have learned how to record it.
Able to record in the same format as stone records.
Han Cheng was happy to see such things. After all, if he wanted to make the Qingque tribe stronger and develop for a longer period of time, he couldn't rely on just one person.
It requires more people to make changes and work together to develop the tribe better.
Han Cheng never said in the tribe that reading thousands of books is as important as traveling thousands of miles, and no one in the tribe ever summed it up.
However, after Han Cheng gave some popular science lectures on natural knowledge, many people in the tribe began to think that the world is so big and they wanted to go and see it.
Among them, Shi Tou, a guy with extraordinary talent in these areas, is the most impatient.
After the spring, leaving the tribe and heading south to find a place in an unfamiliar place where the tribe can survive and resist the cold is a great opportunity to go out.
You can use this opportunity to go outside and have a look around.
Moreover, this is a major event that concerns the survival of the entire tribe, and Shitou also wants to participate in it and make a greater contribution to the tribe, so he particularly wants to go on this trip.
Now, Spade had just learned how to record the weather under his hands-on teaching, so he could leave without any worries.
In fact, Spade was able to learn all these things in such a short time, on the one hand because of his interest and talent, and on the other hand it was inseparable from Shitou's desire to go out and see the world.
Stimulated by such a desire, Professor Shitou played Spades with all his heart and soul.
He even brought out the spirit of protracted warfare that Han Cheng talked about every day and never got tired of.
Under such circumstances, Spade's progress must be rapid.
After watching Shi Tou and the other two leave, Han Cheng got up, got some water, took some rough ink sticks, and ground the ink in the inkstone made of pebbles.
While grinding, I was thinking about something.
After grinding the ink, he found a piece of paper, spread it on the table in front of him, and weighed it down with a paperweight made of rhinoceros horn.
Then he picked up a thin brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write carefully.
What he wrote was about the difficulties that might be encountered on the way and the corresponding solutions.
At the same time, it is also necessary to decide how many people to bring and what weapons to bring with them...
东西显得很是琐碎,但是又不能不去考虑。
在后世的时候,想要外出旅游,尚且要做好旅游攻略,在如今这样的时代,尤其是自己等人将要去的,还是未知的地域,不提前将一些可能遇到的情况尽可能多的考虑到,并给出解决方案,那可就真的是对自己生命的不负责任了。
需要考虑的方面非常多,好在现在的时间还比较充裕,韩成可以好好的想。
在这样边想边写的过了一阵儿之后,韩成脑海中忽然出现了灵感。
他停下笔,坐在这里面色显得有些激动的想了一阵儿之后,将正在进行的事情给放下了。
而是重新拿来一张纸,找来硬质的炭笔,在上面开始缓慢而又认真的勾画。
吸取了以往的经验教训,韩成现在再用炭笔在纸张上画画的时候,都会选择使用头部被磨的非常纤细的那种。
而且在一开始动笔的时候,手上也不会用太大的劲,只在上面画出浅浅的痕迹。
这样做有利于修改。
等到勾画的差不多之后,才会换上比较粗的炭笔,沿着之前勾画好的地方,将之描显。
这样以来,那些之前画错的地方,看起来也就不显眼了。
没有橡皮的孩子伤不起,只能是使用这样的办法进行了。
大约勾画了差不多一个小时的时间,韩成才将手中的炭笔放下。
看着纸张上的图案,韩成略显满意的笑了笑。
有了这样东西,接下来的这趟外出,将会省下不少的力气,毕竟这东西可是外出旅行的利器。
又在这里拿着手里的图纸端详了一阵儿之后,喜滋滋的韩成,拿着手里图纸,去找白雪妹了。
小杏儿到现在已经有一岁多,和以前比起来,要好管的多了,至少她自己会慢慢的走,不用老是抱着了。
韩成来到自己居住的房间之内,将走到房门口的小杏儿抱起来,在小脸蛋上狠狠的亲了两口,又用手指在小家伙的腋窝那里,隔着腋窝搔了几下痒痒,把小闺女喜得咯咯的。
在小闺女的笑声里,韩成抱着她走到了炕沿边上,将手里的拿着的图纸,递给了坐在那里,拿着针线给小豌豆以及小杏儿两个缝制春天时穿的衣服的白雪妹。
白雪妹接过之后,展开来看,只见上面画了一个类似部落里的皮口袋一般的东西。
和皮口袋不同的是,这个被成哥哥画在纸上的袋子不是圆筒形的,看起来反而有些像半个圆柱。
并且在那半个圆柱平面的地方,还画出来了两个宽宽的带子,样式很是奇怪。
“成哥哥,这是啥?”
看了一阵儿之后,白雪妹抬起头看着正抱着小杏儿逗得开心的韩成问道。
“正是双肩背包,外出的时候可以用来装东西。
装好东西之后,可以将之背到肩膀上,不用两手去扶,就能贴到背上不掉。
因为是将重量直接分摊到两个肩膀上的缘故,同样的重量,用双肩背包背在身上,要比用手拎或者是肩扛轻省的多。
而且,用双肩背包背东西,双手都能空闲下来。
空出来的手,可以用来拿武器,或者是做其它的事情,很是方便。
等到开春之后,往南边去寻找适合部落居住的新地方的时候,我准备让出发前去的人,都背上这样的背包。”
韩成笑着对白雪妹进行解释。
双肩背包在后世的时候,简直就是外出旅行的利器,尤其是进行徒步路行的时候,双肩旅行包更是必不可少。
开春后的这趟旅行,可比后世那些徒步旅行刺激多了,毕竟这可是真的原始,如假包换的那种。
如果外出的这些人,人人都背上一个双肩旅行包,那将会省下许多的力气,并且还能解放众人的双手,有很大的好处。
也正是因为如此,韩成才会这样的开心,想到之后其余的事情都不做了,而是先集中精力把双肩背包的图样给画出来,然后过来找白雪妹,让她将之做出来。
白雪妹的手很巧,不仅仅在织布上面,在部落属于顶尖的存在,就连做起缝缝补补的针线活,在整个青雀部落也是属于最为顶尖的那一批。
所以这样的事情,倒是不用再去劳烦部落里的其他人了。
听了韩成的解释之后,白雪妹立刻就上心了。
这样的好东西,说什么也要将之做出来!
毕竟这可是跟将要外出之人的安全有关的事情。
当下就开始向韩成询问一些关于双肩背包更多的事情。
韩成也根据后世见过的双肩背包的样子,对白雪妹进行讲解和描述。
这样过了一阵儿之后,大约弄明白了是怎么回事的白雪妹开始找来材料,动手做这双肩背包。
韩成则在一旁,不是说上一两句进行指点。
没有办法,他虽然不是一个裁缝,但是却架不住见过的双肩背包多。
白雪妹用来做双肩背包的材料类很是奢侈,直接用的就是皮料。
这是真皮,而不是人造革之类。
进行剪裁的时候也非常的简单粗暴。
先剪裁出一个直径为四十的半圆形当底,然后再剪裁出一张宽为五十厘米、长大约为一米一一张的长方形兽皮。
然后先将这张兽皮给缝制成圆筒状,在找来两根一厘米粗细、长四十厘米的棍子放在兽皮圆筒的内部。
两根棍子中间相距三十九厘米,棍子的一端和兽皮的另外一端平齐,然后将两根棍子缝制在那里。
当然,不是圆筒状的那种缝制,而是将两根棍子之间,那三十九厘米的距离的兽皮拉成平的之后进行缝制。
这样一来,等到两个棍子缝制好之后,原本的圆筒就大致上成为了一个被从中间劈开的半个圆柱。
而后再将之前剪裁出来的那个底子,缝制到这个半圆形的圆柱底部,双肩背包的主体也就被缝制好了。
有一点需要说明的是,和底部相结合的,是木棍边缘与半圆筒平齐的那一段。
有十厘米没有缝制棍子的那头,韩成用锥子在比较靠近上部边缘的地方,扎出了孔洞,并在这些孔洞上穿上一根绳子。
这样只需要将绳子的两端一起用力拉,整个背包的上部口子,就会缩到一起,再将绳头一系,就不用担心有东西会从里面掉出来了。
在对整个背包进行缝制的时候,按照韩成的要求,白雪妹并没有用针,而是先用锥子刺出来孔,然后用搓出来的小皮绳穿出来的。
这样缝制出来的背包,要比用针线缝制出来的结实许多倍。
好不好看看的倒在其次,只要结实就成。
毕竟这次可是长途旅行时使用的,不将之弄结实了,背到半路里背包的底子忽然间掉了,那就可就尴尬了。
将背包的主体缝制好之后,开始缝制背包带。
背包袋子不再是用单层皮子缝制的,而是用了两层。
因为到时间整个背包的重量,到时间都将会加诸到两根带子上,所以需要用双层。
在缝制背包袋子的时候,韩成又找来了一些柔软的草,让白雪妹缝了背包带的内部。
并且背包弄的很宽。
这样做的目的都是为了减轻肩膀的压力,使得人的肩膀不至于被勒的太疼。
在白雪妹将两个袋子缝制上去之后,韩成背到背上试了试,觉得还算可以,挺舒服。
随后便往里面装入了一些杂七杂八的东西。
比如碗筷、比如衣服,还有足够几天吃的口粮等等这些,一直将整个背包装满之后,韩成才把背包上部的口子给系上,然后将一下子沉重的很多的背包背到身上,在屋子里来来回回的走着,感受着它的好用与否。
这样背着走了一阵儿之后,韩成将之放下,对于白雪妹的手艺还是非常满意的。
“神子,我试试。”
巫在一旁开口说道。
巫就跟韩成住在一栋房子里面,而且现在冰雪还没有融化,部落里的人都显得比较闲,韩成弄出这样的动静,自然是瞒不住巫的。
除了巫之外,大师兄、二师兄、圆等几个人这会儿也都在这里看稀罕。
“巫,你慢点,这背包可沉。”
这一番杂七杂八的装下来,这个背包现在差不多得有二十斤重。
韩成将背包拎到巫身边,出声提醒道。
巫先伸手显得比较费力的将背包拎起,充分感受了背包的重量,然后在韩成的帮助下,将这新奇的双肩背包背到肩上。
韩成松开手之后,巫的眼睛顿时就亮了,因为他发现真的如同神子说的那样,用手拎起来觉得很是沉重的双肩背包,如今用手来拎,顿时就觉得轻省多了。
随后巫就也学着韩成刚才的样子,背着装的鼓鼓囊囊的双肩背包在房间里来回的走动着。
在走动的同时,两只手还不时背过去,在背包上面摸摸,显得非常的兴奋与新奇,如同一个第一次背上大书包的小孩子一样。
“好,神子,这真是一件好东西!”
Wu became addicted to carrying this backpack. It took him a while to take it off his shoulders. He excitedly told Han Cheng about the benefits of the backpack and praised it highly.
The eldest brother and several others had already been itching to try out Han Cheng and Wu's actions. After Wu took off the backpack, they couldn't wait to put it on their shoulders to experience this new tool.
After putting the backpack on his shoulders, the eldest brother immediately felt the benefits of this new tool.
He imitated Han Cheng and Wu and walked around the room for a while. Suddenly, he remembered something and ran out quickly with his backpack on his back...
