Amid the sound of blacksmithing, the wooden boards that had been cut and repaired by Bo and his men were assembled together.
During this process, rework will be carried out from time to time to remove some inappropriate parts and reassemble and repair them.
In this way, as he slowly explored and made it, a donkey saddle gradually appeared in the carpenter's room.
In order to fit the donkey's back as closely as possible, the bottom of the donkey saddle is arched upwards, with bulges at the front and back ends.
Of course, today's donkey saddles are still in their most primitive state.
They brought over a donkey that was of average size among the group of donkeys, measured it several times on the model, then made some modifications, and finally let people ride on it to feel it.
Then adjust based on how people feel.
After all these operations, a day has passed.
Fortunately, the final adjustment was completed before dark. All that was left was to wrap the leather tightly around the skeleton and fix the stirrups on both sides to it.
After completing the final adjustment, Bo couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved and satisfied.
Then he slowly stood up, pressing his knees with his hands, and stretched out his body.
The saddle was finally completed after a day of burning and hammering. The second brother also forged the meteorite ax and chisel into shape when it was about to get dark.
Unlike blunt tools like meteorite hammers, axes and chisels cannot be simply forged. If you want them to be useful, they also need to be sharpened.
However, compared with the previous creation, sharpening the blade is much simpler and easier.
After dinner, the second brother and Heiwa each took an axe, and the other took a chisel and started grinding on the fine whetstone.
As for the lameness, they also wrapped the donkey saddle frame with thick leather.
After wrapping it, it is glued together with very sticky fish bladder glue, and in some places a not very long bronze nail is hammered into it.
With the lame movement, the saddle that originally looked very rough and simple suddenly became beautiful.
When Lame, with the help of Maoer and a few others, finished making the saddle, Heiwa and the second senior brother also stopped what they were doing.
In the light of the fire, the newly polished meteorite ax blade seemed to be shining.
“Crack!”
The second brother placed a wooden stick thicker than a baby's arm on the wooden block, and then swung the ax diagonally to chop it down.
Such a thick wooden stick was broken into two pieces by such an ax. The shorter part even flew out and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
The fracture of the wood is very smooth.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the room had shining eyes. They had never seen such a sharp ax before.
Among them, the first carpenter in the tribe who often uses an ax was the most excited. Looking at the meteorite ax in the second brother's hand, he rubbed his hands excitedly and couldn't help trembling all over.
There was no way. Such an ax was too attractive to a master carpenter like Bo.
A peerless beauty who was stronger than Zhuang, even stronger than Second Senior Brother, stood in front of Bo. However, to Bo, she was not as attractive as the meteorite ax in Second Senior Brother's hand.
Han Cheng took the freshly sharpened ax from his second senior brother, felt it briefly in his hand, and then handed it to the excited Lame.
"How about trying it and see if it works?"
Han Cheng said with a smile.
After hearing Han Cheng say this, Bo became even more excited. He carefully took it from Han Cheng, carefully touched the head of the ax with his fingers, and carefully stroked his fingers across the blade of the axe.
That expression and look had never appeared when he was treating the woman he loved.
After carefully touching and looking at it for a while, Lame held the ax handle in his hand, picked up a piece of wood and started chopping it with the ax in order to better feel the performance of the ax.
The ax with a gleam of light swept through the air and hit the wood. Immediately, a long piece of wood was chopped off.
This kind of easy feeling was something that Bo had never experienced before.
Originally, he thought that the iron ax made from iron bacteria that he had used before, and the bronze ax that came later were very useful.
But now, after feeling the sharpness of the meteorite ax in his hand, Bo immediately felt that the other axes were nothing but rubbish.
This feeling is really amazing.
So, after the ax chopped down, Lame couldn't help but raise the ax and continue chopping, again and again.
"Lame, try this chisel and see if it works."
Han Cheng took the meteorite chisel, which had also been polished, from Heiwa's hand, and while looking at it, he waited for Bo to stop.
As a result, Lame was like someone who had eaten Xuanmai. He swung the ax again and again and couldn't stop at all.
Han Cheng waited for a while, then had to interrupt him and handed the chisel over.
After Han Cheng shouted at him, Bo stopped, touched his head, and laughed as if he was a little embarrassed.
Then he carefully took the chisel from Han Cheng's hand, and after looking at it carefully again, he found a piece of discarded wood, placed the chisel made of meteorite on it, and hit it with the back of the axe to test the chisel.
Although he had the meteorite axe, Bo was mentally prepared for the sharpness of the chisel, which was also made of meteorite iron. However, he was still surprised by the sharpness of the meteorite chisel after the first blow of the axe.
There really is a surprise every time.
Not only Lame, but everyone else who saw this scene was shocked by the sharpness of the meteorite weapon.
People who originally thought that bronze was very useful have now changed their minds and no longer talk about how great bronze is.
Many people even began to fantasize about how wonderful it would be if every tribe could use such meteorite weapons in the future.
With this thought in mind, everyone immediately became more impatient for the upcoming journey north.
Before, the people who were most looking forward to this trip north were those who stayed behind in the tribe. But at this moment, after seeing with their own eyes the usefulness of the meteorite tools, everyone's focus immediately changed quietly.
The search for meteorite iron was prioritized over bringing back people from those tribes.
It can be said that they are all very fickle.
"Lao, these tools are mainly used in your carpentry room. I will ask my second brother to make saws and planes later."
Han Cheng looked at Bo, who was as happy as a little baby, and said with a smile that the right to use these tools would be given to the carpentry room headed by Bo.
The reason for saying this is that these tools were originally made for them, and axes should not be used indiscriminately, especially carpenters' axes.
The thing a carpenter hates most is other people using their ax.
Using an ax without sharpness is a minor matter. The most important thing is that those who do not know how to cherish tools will easily cut a notch on the ax blade.
This is the most annoying thing.
Because once there is a notch on the ax blade, things like wooden boards chopped with the ax will be uneven.
In Han Cheng's later generations, one of the elders in his family was half a carpenter, so he was quite familiar with these things.
It is precisely because of this that he said this at this time, making these newly made meteorite tools become special tools for the carpenter's room.
Of course, after completing the construction of the tools needed for the carpenter's room and the stonemason's room, mainly wood, Han Cheng would ask his second senior brother to make two or three more meteorite axes for daily use in the tribe.
Lame, who was already very happy, became even happier when he heard Han Cheng say that he would ask his second senior brother to make some meteorite tools and have them used exclusively in the carpenter's room. For a moment, he was just laughing foolishly, holding the ax in one hand and the chisel in the other, and he didn't know what to say.
The carpenters brought up by Mao Er were all very happy.
The rest of the people in the room couldn't help but laugh at his lame appearance.
The people in the tribe had no objection to the Son of God's arrangement, because they all knew very well how important the carpenter's room headed by Lame was to the tribe.
Let's not talk about the harrows, plow carts, wheelbarrows, donkey carts and other things that were used before. Just the fact that they made things like donkey saddles and donkey stirrups today under the guidance of the Son of God is enough to make people convinced of the Son of God's arrangement.
The carpenter's room needs such easy-to-use meteorite tools. With better tools, they will be able to create better tools that are more conducive to the development of the tribe.
However, despite this, most people are still working hard in their hearts, trying to bring back more meteorite iron this time they go north.
After all, who wouldn't want to use such a good tool?
Everyone took turns to feel the meteorite tools and talked excitedly about the usefulness of the meteorite tools for a while. Then, at Han Cheng's signal, they got up and left. After packing up, they went to sleep.
However, the two meteorite tools were not placed in the carpenter's room, but were taken away by Bo.
As Han Cheng expected, after tidying up and going to bed, Bo really went up to the kang holding these two tools.
Lying on the kang on his side, Lame kept touching the meteorite axe and chisel in his arms with his hands, but he could never touch them enough.
La's spouse, who slept on the same kang with La, couldn't fall asleep after lying there for a while, so she began to lean towards La, making some sounds that only she and La could understand, and performing some actions.
However, Bo, who would take immediate action after receiving the signal in the past, did not show any reaction this time.
The lame spouse thought that his behavior was not obvious enough, so he increased his voice and movements to continue sending signals.
He had been feeling the tingling of the meteorite tool, and after receiving increasingly obvious signals from his spouse, he finally couldn't bear it any longer.
He gently put down the meteorite weapon he was holding tightly in his arms, and turned around.
While Lame's spouse was looking forward to the joy, Lame reached out and pushed his spouse away.
"Go to sleep and don't come to see me tonight!"
Lame said this to his spouse, then turned around neatly and picked up the meteorite axe and chisel he had just put down in his arms again, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Humph, what's so good about having a spouse? It will only waste your time and energy. It's nowhere near as cool as meteorite tools.
Not only can it make you feel the joy from the soul, but it can also help you create better things.
Lame thought so in his heart, and held the two meteorite tools in his arms tighter...
To this day, the bluebird still maintains some of its traditions from its past cave-dwelling days.
For example, in terms of living, there are four kangs in one room. If a person has few spouses and children, four small families that do not have a clear concept of family can live in one house.
For example, in the room where Bo and his family are living now, there are two other small families.
The moon was very bright tonight. The moonlight shone in through the window, illuminating the kang where they lived.
In this case, such noise will naturally not be heard or seen by other people living in the room.
The topic about the most popular ditties that people hum at night has always been a very attractive, influential and hot topic.
This has never changed, either from ancient times or in later generations.
However, people in primitive times talked about these things more directly and openly than people in other times.
So by the next day, even Han Chengdu heard about it.
"Lao is a good man, a real warrior."
After learning about this, Han Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and couldn't help laughing.
Shi Tou, who was responsible for recording the history of the Qingque tribe, heard what Han Cheng said and recorded it. As time passed, these words were modified and expanded by later generations based on this incident.
——A true warrior dares to push away his entangled partner and dares to face the bleak wind and rain for his own tool...
Life had to go on. After this episode, Han Cheng, Wu, the eldest brother, the second brother, the junior brother Sha, Mao, and the real warrior Bo and a group of people led a donkey out of the tribe and headed towards the threshing ground outside the gate.
This donkey is different from ordinary donkeys, mainly because it has a newly made donkey saddle on its back.
After installing the donkey saddle, the whole donkey's temperament looks different.
It stood out and was no longer as stupid as before. It actually looked smarter and immediately widened the gap between itself and the other donkeys.
This is really the case that clothes make the man, and saddles make the donkey!
Looking at the donkey that actually had some of the temperament of a horse after being equipped with the donkey saddle, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Sparrow, try riding it."
After expressing his emotion, Han Cheng smiled and said to Sparrow standing beside him.
After completing that feat with Liutou, they rested in the main tribe for a while and then returned to the Tongshan residential area, while Sparrow stayed in the main tribe and did not go back.
This is mainly because after going through such a training, the two of them have become a little different from ordinary people in riding donkeys.
If we ever encounter something similar that needs to be communicated in the future, having them around can help the message get delivered faster.
At this time, Han Cheng wanted to experiment with the donkey saddle and stirrups he had made, and Sparrow was undoubtedly the best candidate.
After hearing Han Cheng's call, Sparrow suddenly became excited.
After completing that task together with Liutou, Sparrow and Liutou not only received flowers and applause, but their status in the tribe also improved a lot.
Like most people, Sparrow will not let go of anything that can bring him honor and pride.
After the injuries on his legs and buttocks healed, he rode his donkey more frequently and enjoyed riding whenever he had time.
Under this psychological effect, the sparrow's skill in riding a donkey became more sophisticated.
Sparrow was looking forward to it as early as when he learned that the Son of God was going to ask Lame and his men to make some tools to be installed on the donkey to make it easier to ride.
At this time, the manufacturing was successful, and the Son of God asked himself to try it, so Sparrow was of course excited.
He answered, walked out from the side, came to the donkey, took the reins from the lame hand that was leading the donkey, touched the donkey's face to comfort it, then lifted his right foot and put it into the thing with a flat bottom and a semicircular top, which the Son of God called a donkey stirrup.
Then he exerted force with his legs and the hands holding the donkey saddle at the same time. He easily came onto the donkey's back and sat on the saddle smoothly.
In the past, when there were no donkey saddles and stirrups, if you wanted to get on the donkey's back, you had to use something to prop your feet up. And even if you had something to prop your feet up, it was not as convenient to get on as it is now.
Moreover, with the stirrups, when people ride on the donkey, their feet have a place to leverage, and the whole person has a foothold, making people feel very safe.
In addition to these, the donkey saddle carefully wrapped with leather is also very comfortable to sit on. It is no longer like riding a bareback donkey before, which always gives people a slippery feeling as if they want to fall off.
As soon as he sat on the donkey's back, Sparrow immediately fell in love with the two tools that the Son of God had asked Bo Xin to make specifically for donkeys.
With these two things, the donkey will become easier to ride.
Things like riding donkeys can also be promoted better.
The sparrow thought that with these two things, if he encountered the same thing as last time, he could ride his donkey faster and farther...
Of course, everything would be even more perfect if you were not facing the donkey's butt after riding it.
While the sparrow was feeling the benefits brought by the donkey saddle and stirrup, he seemed a little confused and helpless when he saw the donkey's butt in front of him.
How come I ended up facing backwards after I climbed onto the donkey's back?
Looking at the sparrow riding upside down on the donkey with a confused and helpless look on its face, Han Cheng couldn't help laughing.
Fortunately, people in the tribe don’t know the legend of Zhang Guolao, otherwise after what happened today, Sparrow would be called Ma Guolao by people.
The rest of the people present couldn't help but laugh good-naturedly when they saw the funny scene of the sparrow riding on the donkey upside down.
“When you get off the donkey and get on again, if you get on from the left side of the donkey, use your left foot to push the stirrup. If you get on from the right side of the donkey, use your right foot to push the stirrup.”
Han Cheng said to Sparrow with a smile.
The sparrow first took its right foot out of the stirrup, and then got off the donkey in an unskillful manner.
Thinking about the method that the Son of God had just told him, Sparrow raised his hands and thought about left and right for a long time before he finally figured out which was left and which was right.
It’s strange to say, in the past, Sparrow could quickly distinguish the left from the right, basically without having to think about it, but at this time, he had to think carefully.
After distinguishing left from right, the sparrow standing on the right side of the donkey raised its right leg again, put its foot on the stirrup, exerted force on its body, and climbed onto the donkey.
This time there was no mistake. After sitting on the donkey's saddle, what appeared was no longer the donkey's butt, but the donkey's head.
Sparrow secretly remembered the feeling this time, and decided that in the future, whether he was getting on or off the donkey, he would do it from the right side. After practicing for a while, he would not have to worry about this every time, and he would not have to worry about riding the donkey backwards.
After riding straight, Sparrow moved back and forth on the saddle for a while, fully feeling the saddle and stirrups. For these two things, Sparrow only wanted to use two words to express his feelings: "Comfortable!"
Then he began to control the donkey to trot, running from the threshing ground to the Qingque Expressway, and then turned back from the Bronze Expressway. The smile on Sparrow's face never disappeared.
"Comfortable! Very comfortable! This donkey saddle and stirrup are so useful!"
He spoke excitedly to everyone.
"Mao, try riding it and see if your butt still hurts."
After the excited sparrow came down from above, Han Cheng said to Mao with a smile.
After watching Sparrow ride around, Mao had already been tempted. When he heard Han Cheng's words, he naturally would not refuse. He walked forward, took the donkey's reins from Sparrow, and imitated Sparrow to walk to the right side of the donkey. He raised his right foot and stepped on the stirrup to climb onto the donkey. Then, he seemed to be controlling the donkey in an unskilled manner and started to walk. After a while, he changed from walking to trotting.
After riding around, Mao couldn't hide his excitement. After installing these two things, riding a donkey was so different from before.
After Mao got off the donkey, the others rode on it to experience it.
During this process, Han Cheng discovered something very interesting.
That is, everyone was influenced by the first person who rode a sparrow equipped with a donkey saddle and stirrups, and they all unconsciously chose to get on and off the donkey from the right.
If this habit could continue, then when the tribe developed to a certain extent and had cars, would the driver's seat be left on the right?
