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 axe 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 axe 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 axe diagonally to chop it down.
Such a thick wooden stick was broken into two pieces by such an axe. 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 axe before.
Among them, the first carpenter in the tribe who often uses an axe was the most excited. Looking at the meteorite axe in the second brother's hand, he rubbed his hands excitedly and couldn't help trembling all over.
There was no way. Such an axe 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 axe in Second Senior Brother's hand.
Han Cheng took the freshly sharpened axe 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 axe 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 axe handle in his hand, picked up a piece of wood and started chopping it with the axe in order to better feel the performance of the axe.
The axe 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 axe made from iron bacteria that he had used before, and the bronze axe that came later were very useful.
But now, after feeling the sharpness of the meteorite axe in his hand, Bo immediately felt that the other axes were nothing but rubbish.
This feeling is really amazing.
So, after the axe chopped down, Lame couldn't help but raise the axe 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 axe 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 axe.
Using an axe 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 axe blade.
This is the most annoying thing.
Because once there is a notch on the axe blade, things like wooden boards chopped with the axe 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 axe 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.
不出韩成所料,收拾了一下开始睡觉之后,跛果然是抱着这两样工具上的炕。
侧着身子躺在炕上,跛一遍遍的用手摸着怀里的陨铁斧头与凿子,怎么都摸不够。
跟跛睡在一个炕上的跛的配偶,在那里躺了一会儿之后睡不着,就开始往跛这边靠,并发出一些只有她与跛之间才能够秒懂的声音,并做出一些动作。
不过,以往接收到信号之后立刻就会采取一些行动的跛,这次却没有任何的表示。
跛的配偶以为是自己表现的不够明显,就加大了声音与动作,继续传递信号。
一直那里感受陨铁工具的跛,接收到自己配偶着越来越明显的信号之后,终于是忍耐不住了。
他轻轻放下怀里紧紧抱着的陨铁武器,然后转过身来。
在跛的配偶满是欣喜的期待之中,跛伸出手猛地将自己配偶推开了。
“你睡觉,今晚别来找我!”
跛对着自己配偶说到,然后干净利落转回身子,将刚刚放下的陨铁斧头和凿子重新抱到怀中,一脸的迷醉。
哼,配偶有什么好的,只会浪费你的时间与精力,哪里有陨铁工具来的带感。
不仅仅可以让自己感受到来自于灵魂的愉快,更是能够帮助自己制作出更好的东西出来。
跛心里这样想着,将怀里的两样陨铁工具抱得更紧了……
到了现在,青雀还保持着一些以往在洞穴居住时的传统。
比如在居住上面,就是一个房间里面盘四个炕,如果一个人的配偶不多,孩子也不多的话,一间房子里面可以住下四个还没有明确的家庭概念的小家庭。
比如跛他们现在所居住的房间里面,就还有另外两个小家庭。
今晚上的月亮很好,月光从窗户外面照射进来,将跛他们居住的炕上照的亮光光一片。
在这样的情况下,这样的动静自然不让房间内居住的其他人听到并看到到。
关于一些晚上的时候人们哼的最多的小曲的事情,一直以来都是一个非常吸引人,并且很有影响力、热度不会下降的话题。
不管是从远古还是到后世,这一点都不曾改变过。
不过原始时代的人,对这些事情的谈论,要比其余时代的人更为直接与开放。
所以等到第二天的时候,就连韩成都听到了这件事情。
“跛是个好汉子,是真正的猛士。”
在得知了这件事情之后,韩成愣了一会儿之后,出声感慨道,然后忍不住的笑了起来。
负责记录青雀部落历史的石头听到了韩成说的这些,就将之给记载了下来,随着时间的流逝,到了后来,这些话被后人根据这次的事情进行的改造与扩充。
——真正的猛士敢于推开缠绕上来的配偶,敢于为了自己的工具而直面惨淡的风雨……
日子还是要继续过的,这样的插曲过后,韩成、巫、大师兄、二师兄、沙师弟、贸、以及真正的猛士跛等一行人牵着一头驴子出了部落,朝着大门外面的打谷场而去。
这头驴子与一般的驴子不太一样,主要的原因就是它的背上装上了新制造出来的驴鞍。
安装了驴鞍之后,整头驴子的气质看起来都不太一样了。
显得很是出众,不再是之前蠢笨的模样,看起来居然多出来了一些精明,立刻就拉开了与其余驴子之间的差距。
这可真是人靠衣裳驴靠鞍啊!
看着这头装上了驴鞍之后,居然有了一些马的气质的驴子,韩成忍不住这样在心里感慨道。
“麻雀,你骑上去试试。”
感慨了一番之后,韩成笑着对在一旁麻雀说道。
与榴头一起完成了那次的壮举之后,在主部落休养了一阵儿,榴头重新返回了铜山居住区,而麻雀则留在了主部落没有回去。
这主要是想着他们两个经过了那样的一场磨练之后,在骑驴子上面与一般人有了一些不同。
倘若以后真的再遇到类似的事情需要通传了,有他们两个在,可以让消息传递的更快一些。
此时韩成要对制作好的驴鞍驴镫进行实验,麻雀无疑就是最好的人选。
听到韩成点名发话之后,麻雀一下子就变得兴奋起来。
与榴头一起完成了那次的事情之后,麻雀与榴头两个人不仅仅收获到了鲜花与掌声,在部落中间的地位也一下子提升许多。
和大多数的人一样,对于能够带给自己荣誉与骄傲的东西,麻雀同样也是抓住没有放。
在腿上以及屁股上面的伤好了之后,他骑驴子骑得更加频繁了,没事了就喜欢骑上一骑。
在这样的心理作用下,麻雀骑驴子的技术变得更加精湛。
早在得知神子准备让跛他们制造出来一些装在驴子身上让驴子变得更加好骑的工具的时候,麻雀就怀着期待。
这时候制造成功了,神子点名让自己来试,麻雀当然兴奋。
他答了一声,从边上走了出来,来到驴子身边,从牵着驴子的跛手里接过缰绳,并在驴子的脸上摸了摸用作安抚,然后抬起右脚放到那个底面平上面是半圆的、被神子称之为驴镫的东西里面。
然后腿上一用力,抓着驴鞍的手也同时发力,整个人很轻松的就来到驴子背上,并顺利坐在了驴鞍之上。
以往,没有驴鞍与驴镫这两种东西的时候,想要上到驴子背上,必须要有东西进行垫脚才可以,而且就算是有东西垫脚,往上面上着也没有现在这样方便。
而且,有了驴镫之后,人骑在驴子身上,两只脚有了可以借力的地方,整个人都有了着落,让人觉得很有安全感。
除了这些之外,那用皮子仔细包裹过的驴鞍,坐上去也非常的舒服,不再如同之前骑着光背驴子那样,总给人一种滑滑的、想要掉下去的感觉。
才只是刚刚坐到驴背之上,麻雀立刻就喜欢上了神子让跛新制造出来的这两种专门装备于驴子的工具。
有了这两种东西之后,驴子将会变得更加好骑。
骑驴子这种事情也能够更好的推广开来。
麻雀觉得,有了这两种东西之后,再遇到上次那种事情了,他能骑着驴子跑的更快更远……
当然,如果再骑上的之后,不是面朝着驴子的屁股的话,那一切就变得更加完美了。
麻雀感受着驴鞍以及驴镫带来种种好处的时候,看着出现在眼前的驴屁股显得有些懵圈与无助。
这好端端的,自己爬上了驴背之后,怎么就变成了面朝后了呢?
看着倒骑在毛驴身上显得一脸懵圈与无助的的麻雀,韩成忍不住的笑了起来。
也幸好部落里的人不知道张果老的传说,不然今天的事情过后,麻雀只怕会被人们叫成麻果老了。
其余在场的人,看到麻雀倒骑毛驴的滑稽一幕,也都忍不住的发出了善意的笑声。
“你从驴背上下来重新上,从驴子左边往上上了就用左脚蹬着驴镫,从驴子的右边上了,就用右脚蹬驴镫。”
韩成笑着对麻雀说道。
麻雀就从先将右面的那只脚从驴镫之中拿出来,然后显得不太熟练的从驴子身上下来。
想着刚刚神子告诉自己的方法,麻雀举着两只手想了好一阵儿的左右,才终于分辨出来哪里是左,哪里是右。
说来也是奇怪,以前的时候麻雀是很快就能将左右给分出来的,基本上都不用考虑,但到了这个时候,他却是要仔细思考了。
分清了左右之后,这次站在驴子右侧的麻雀再次抬起了右腿,将脚踩踏在驴镫之上,身上用力,翻身上驴。
这一次没有再错,坐在驴鞍上之后,出现的不再是驴子的屁股,而是驴子的脑袋。
麻雀暗暗记住了这次的感受,决定以后不管是往驴背上面上了,还是往下下了,都要从右面进行,这样多练习一段儿时间之后,自己就不用每次都为这个事情纠结,更不用担心会有倒骑毛驴的事情发生。
这样骑正了之后,麻雀坐在驴鞍之上来回动了一会儿,充分对驴鞍以及驴镫进行了感受,对这两样东西,麻雀只想用两个字来表达自己的感受:“舒服!”
然后就开始控制着驴子小跑起来,从打麦场跑到青雀高速上,又从青铜高速上面转了回来,麻雀脸上的笑容就没有消失过。
“舒服!太舒服了!这驴鞍和驴镫实在是太好用了!”
他兴奋的对众人说着。
“贸,你骑上去试试,看看还会屁股疼不。”
兴奋不已的麻雀从上面下来之后,韩成笑着对贸说。
贸看着麻雀骑了一圈之后,早就已经心动了,此时听到韩成发话,自然也不会推辞,走到前去,从麻雀手里接过驴缰绳,学着麻雀的样子来到驴子的右面,抬起右脚踩在驴镫之上翻身上驴,然后显得不太熟练的控制着驴子走动起来,这样过了一会儿之后,由走动改为了小跑。
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?
