The deer pen is habitable now, next to the rabbit pen.

It is a railing-type building.

Building such a structure was not difficult for the Qingque tribe, which had already built a wall.

This is how it was created.

First, draw the shape of the deer circle at the selected location, which is actually the four sides.

The deer enclosure is rectangular, 50 meters long and 30 meters wide, with a total area of ​​1,500 square meters! In later times, this would definitely be a very luxurious act.

However, considering that there were a total of twenty-two deer of all sizes, and that the deer were large in size and arrogant, Han Cheng deliberately built a large deer pen.

Of course, another consideration is the reproduction of these deer. Once the deer herd expands in the future, a pen that is too small will naturally not be able to adapt. It would be more convenient to do it in one step.

This makes things convenient and saves trouble for people, and the deer feel comfortable living there.

After planning the shape on the ground, the next step is to dig holes and plant pillars.

The weather is cold in winter and the ground is hard, so it is naturally difficult to dig at this time. But don't worry, this problem is easy to solve.

At Han Cheng's instruction, the tribesmen cleared the snow before digging, and then lit a fire on the ground where they were going to dig the pit. The temperature of the flame would make the hard ground soft.

After the soil was softened, everyone started digging with the newly made bone shovels while it was still hot.

The bone shovel is much more convenient to use than the flat-headed wooden stick. This is not only because it is sharper, but also because it is wider, more soil can be dug at one time.

Another reason is that when digging, the eldest brother and others can step on the side of the bone shovel and move into the soil.

In the past, when people used polished flat wooden sticks to dig the soil and stick the sticks into the ground, they could only rely on the strength of their two arms.

Furthermore, due to the stress, a lot of strength will be lost in this process, and not all of it is used to 'enter' the soil.

Now it is different to push down directly on one side of the bone shovel with the foot. Firstly, the power of the thigh is much greater than that of the arm, and the saying "the arm cannot twist the thigh" is not in vain.

Secondly, when using the feet to push the bone shovel into the soil, the weight of the body is also used. Just this one point alone makes the level much higher than simply holding the wooden stick in the hand and sticking it into the soil.

Another thing is the directness of the force. When you press down with your feet, much less force is consumed than with your hands.

When all these advantages are combined together, the most direct result is the excavation speed, which has increased by more than three times compared to before!

In the past, I couldn't press down something with my hands even with great effort. Now, I just need to stretch out one foot and step on the side of the bone shovel. Without using too much force, the bone shovel will easily enter the soil. Then, I hold the handle of the bone shovel with both hands and tilt it back, and a large piece of soil will be dug up. (I suddenly remembered the advertisements of various medicinal wines and plasters for treating pain on local TV stations...)

The new tool is so easy to use that it makes the eldest brother and others very happy, because it means they will be able to improve their efficiency in doing things, and another reason is that it saves effort.

Even if I have to do a lot more things in a day than before, I won’t feel as tired as before.

Using this method, in just four days, the people of the Qingque tribe dug out more than 170 to 180 holes along the four lines drawn by Han Cheng. Among them, the pits in the four corners and in the middle of the four sides were the largest and deepest.

This is done to improve the stability of the deer pen.

In one of the eight deep pits, a pillar with a diameter of more than 15 centimeters was planted.

It is not easy to break such a thick tree trunk using only the stone axes in the tribe, but it is much easier to burn it over fire, although this will cause some damage and it will be unsightly.

But these things are obviously not something that the Qingque tribe needs to consider as they have a lot of wood.

These pillars had already been cut off when the fire was set on the land.

Eight pillars over two meters high were carried by the tribesmen and erected in the dug pits. Then the soil excavated previously was backfilled. Each layer was compacted with the sticks used to pound the walls.

In order to make it more solid, at Han Cheng's suggestion, some stones were buried at the base of the pillars.

After the eight large pillars at the four corners and the middle were erected, the people who had been divided into four groups divided the work again and started planting small pillars as thick as wrists into the remaining pits in groups of two.

This is easier to do. It took less than half a day and they were all planted.

Then we need to weave branches onto these pillars that are placed every one meter.

In Han Cheng's hometown, this technique is called "摽" or "别".

The specific method is to use relatively thin and flexible branches to pass through these vertical pillars, one left and one right, and then pass another branch in the opposite direction.

After doing this, the entire deer pen will be connected into a whole and will be very strong.

The height of the woven twigs is about 1.2 meters, and there is a gap of about 40 centimeters above it.

After the gap, there is about 30 centimeters of height left on top, which is woven again with thinner branches.

This can not only ensure lighting, but also save a lot of materials and effort, and will not affect the firmness of the deer pen.

In the deer pen, Han Cheng also had people dig ditches for drainage. The ground inside the deer pen was also covered with a thick layer of wood ash mixed with hay and chopped leaves. It can be said that he was very thoughtful.

Because of the disturbance by the Tengshe tribe a few days ago, the deer pen was not completely built, for example, there was a missing roof, and Han Cheng had envisioned that the two sides of the 1.2-meter-high fence near the bottom should be covered with mud.

These will be made up one by one in the days to come.

The old deer held a crisp and refreshing rapeseed in its mouth, and swallowed it in just a few bites without moving its mouth. Then, without Han Cheng doing anything, it consciously buried half of its head in the animal skin bag in Han Cheng's hand, filled its mouth with its tongue, and then was willing to pull its head out and slowly chew this rare delicacy.

The rest of the deer followed their leader into this completely new place.

However, these deer have seen big scenes before and are not at all nervous about this.

Especially under Han Cheng's instruction, Heiwa and others brought a lot of dried grass and placed it on the rafts prepared in advance on the ground. After treating them warmly, the deer became more natural.

Their mouths moved rapidly and they wagged their tails from time to time, looking as if they were having a great time.

The witch looked at the group of deer, grinning so hard that only his teeth were visible and his eyes were not.

Especially a young deer that was born not too long ago. It poked its head out and ate a few rapeseeds from his hand. It also licked his hand a few times with its pink tongue. Wu was extremely happy.

He reached out his hand and gently stroked the deer's head. Looking at this group of deer grazing quietly, he felt so happy in his heart that he could not describe it, and his respect for Han Cheng was beyond words.

The Son of God is a true God! He brought back such a large herd of deer to the tribe without any violent means!

You know, deer are good at running, and it is extremely difficult even for the adults in the tribe to hunt them!

The Son of God, who is still a child, could actually bring back so many deer, and they were all alive. If they were domesticated, the deer in their tribe would be as numerous as rabbits!

This is truly a miracle!
