After a winter, the number of pregnant women in the Yan tribe increased significantly.
In primitive tribes with few entertainment activities, they cannot go out hunting in winter, so it is understandable that they created humans.
Meng Changjin took a look around and found out that there were more than a hundred pregnant women. That means, if all goes well, the Yan tribe will soon have more than a hundred children.
However, according to the client's memory, having a child is very risky.
Especially in the poor birth environment of primitive tribes, the probability of the mother surviving but the child dying, the child surviving but the mother dying, or even two lives being created in one corpse is particularly high.
Like the client Man Qing and the little boy in the cave under her feet, their mothers died when they were born.
Unfortunately, their father died during a hunting trip, so they lived alone in a cave.
Otherwise, the tribe is actually composed of small families.
In other words, among these more than 100 pregnant women, a large number of them will face some dangers during childbirth.
Meng Changjin knew there was danger, but she didn't know much about it.
All she could do was to refine some Peiyuan Pills, which might be useful when the time comes.
However, since the tribe has survived to this day, it is impossible that it has no experience at all.
Meng Changjin felt that he might be too pessimistic.
Just imagine, if the mortality rate was really that high, the gender ratio of the Yan tribe might have been out of balance long ago.
But the fact is that the ratio of men to women in the Yan tribe is relatively balanced, and the client's memory cannot be used as a complete reliance.
Why do I say so? The reason is very simple.
Because the client's mother had an accident when the client was born, the client would definitely pay more attention to the bad aspects of the incident due to the impact of the incident. As a result, such information is not completely credible.
Meng Changjin saw that the Great Witch seemed quite happy recently. If things were really that easy to go wrong, the Great Witch would be worried.
Thinking about this, Meng Changjin felt that her guess was correct.
There is still a chance of death, but it shouldn't be that high.
If it was really that big, wouldn't the women in the tribe be afraid of death? Thinking of this, Meng Changjin walked towards the field where rice and yam were planted, and ran into several women from the tribe.
They were talking and laughing, holding vine baskets woven with vines, which were filled with some green wild vegetables.
Among these women, there were two pregnant women. When they saw Meng Changjin, they greeted her happily.
Meng Changjin looked at the wild vegetables in the baskets of several people and thought that maybe he should go and dig up some more wild vegetables.
Nowadays, the tribesmen pick very few kinds of wild vegetables, because they only dare to eat those that they have eaten before and have not caused any problems.
The rice that Meng Changjin led everyone to plant actually sprouted.
Meng Changjin had no idea what he could grow, so he could only wait quietly for the Mid-Autumn harvest.
The rice has sprouted, but there is no movement from the yam. Meng Changjin doesn't know whether this is normal or not. Although he knows which part the yam seed is, he has never planted it himself, nor does he master the whole process of planting for others. Now he just has to plant the seeds in the soil, and the rest is up to luck and fate.
After looking at the rice and yam he had planted, Meng Changjin began to consciously look for wild vegetables.
Meng Changjin knows a little about wild vegetables. After traveling through so many worlds, he must know something.
For example, when eating shepherd's purse dumplings, Meng Changjin would be curious about what shepherd's purse looks like. After going to the vegetable market to buy it once, he would know it, right?
Although Meng Changjin did not have much time to cook and usually ate ready-made food, as a cultivator he had a strong memory and could always remember some food.
Remember a little bit in each world, and when accumulated, what's wrong with having billions of points of knowledge? !
Meng Changjin didn't go too far, he just looked around the area.
When she found edible wild vegetables, she didn't just dig up the edible parts, but dug up the whole plant.
She had to bring back the whole wild vegetable and then tell everyone which parts were edible, so that everyone could recognize them when looking for wild vegetables.
We didn't go too far because we thought that picking wild vegetables was something that the women in the tribe did. If we went too far, we would easily encounter wild animals, which would be unsafe.
As for wild vegetables that grow far away, Meng Changjin thought that if she encountered them in the future, she might dig some up with the roots and bring them back home, and that would also be possible.
There are still too few people in the Yan tribe, and few of them can do things.
Apart from this, Meng Changjin felt that living in a cave was still a bit unpleasant.
On the Yan tribe side, the caves are all opened on the mountain walls. It can be said that the geographical environment is really very superior.
But precisely because they are all built on the mountain wall, there are many problems.
The first is that it is inconvenient.
Whether it is transporting things up there or doing other things, even with the stone steps built by Meng Changjin, it is still not convenient enough.
If Meng Changjin were really allowed to make drastic changes, as long as the cliff was big enough, he could create countless caves.
But this is not the way to think about the problem.
Meng Changjin's expectation for the future of the Yan tribe is that the individuals of the Yan tribe can live well without her.
Instead of raising a giant baby in a tribe, she has to take care of its eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
For example, if Meng Changjin were to do the renovation of the mountain wall, she could just pick up a knife and slash it, wouldn't she be able to do it quickly? But what if the tribesmen were to chisel slowly? How long would it take?! Therefore, it was necessary to move to flat ground.
Houses built with wood or stone houses are more time-saving and labor-saving than digging a cave in the mountain.
Although the people of the Yan tribe have no shortage of strength, their strength should be spent where it is most needed.
In addition to the time-consuming and labor-intensive reasons, there is actually another most important reason, that is, building stone houses and wooden houses, you can choose any place! Instead of just drilling holes in the stone wall.
Meng Changjin thought more and more, but it was useless to just think about these ideas in her mind. She also needed the consent of the Great Witch.
If the chief witch disagrees, it will be difficult to get everyone in the Yan tribe to join her in making such a large-scale change.
Meng Changjin felt that it was not appropriate to go directly and talk to the Great Witch.
During these few times, Meng Changjin had to let the Great Witch see her results almost every time.
Meng Changjin's idea this time was no exception.
She planned to build a wooden house herself first, and then go to the witch doctor to talk about it.
There is no need to worry about wood for building a wooden house. There is plenty of good wood in the primeval forests.
Building a house is not something that Meng Changjin can accomplish by himself.
For some fixed jobs, one person can only take care of one part.
Meng Changjin knew some simple mortise and tenon structures, but they were really just simple ones.
But just knowing a few things is actually enough.
While the salt returning team had not returned yet, Meng Changjin planned to build the wooden house before they came back.
When the salt team members came back, she would start making bacon.
Imagine if you hang a circle of bacon outside the cabin, others will be tempted, right? ! If you are tempted, you should take action. Maybe someone will want to build a cabin even if you don’t mention it.
Meng Changjin is a man of action who does things as soon as he says they will. He procrastinates and might just give up doing things altogether.
Meng Changjin went to chop trees with a knife and met many other people who were out looking for wild vegetables.
Recently, there are more edible wild vegetables in the tribe, and this is also thanks to Meng Changjin.
Seeing Meng Changjin coming over with her powerful knife, everyone looked over curiously, wondering what Meng Changjin was going to do this time.
In fact, according to the client's age, he is still a child in the Yan tribe.
If you meet a normal child of this age, everyone would probably just think she is playing.
But Meng Changjin is different. Since the winter when Meng Changjin chiseled the ice on the river and dragged a string of fish back to the tribe, every action of Meng Changjin meant that she was going to do serious work.
"What is Manqing going to do this time?!" Some people were waiting to see, while others came up and asked directly.
Meng Changjin was also familiar with the person who came up to ask, as he had sent her things several times.
Although the things were not very precious, Meng Changjin also understood that if it wasn't for this person and without this heart, then there would be nothing at all.
So Meng Changjin would not have any disdain and would remember the kindness.
When she heard the other party asking her, she didn't hide it. The key point was that there was no point in hiding it, and she couldn't hide it either. The noise she would make when building the wooden house next time would definitely be huge.
Besides, the intention of building a wooden house was to build it with everyone, so how could Meng Changjin hide it? !
She wished that everyone in the tribe would come and watch.
"I plan to build a wooden house next to the ground, but the mountain wall is too far away from the ground." Meng Changjin smiled and began to look at the surrounding trees, wondering which tree to start with.
"Wooden house?" The people of the Yan tribe have always lived in caves and have no idea what a wooden house is.
However, Meng Changjin was gifted by heaven, so no one said that Meng Changjin was dreaming.
Everyone gathered around and prepared to see what the wooden house that Meng Changjin mentioned looked like.
They also understood some of what Meng Changjin said. He said that the ground was too far away from the mountain wall. If so, could this wooden house be used for living like a cave? Meng Changjin did not explain more. Now, wooden houses were something that no one had any concept of.
They have no idea what a wooden house looks like, so no matter how much you explain to them now, they won't understand.
But once Meng Changjin built the wooden house and everyone saw what it looked like, then at that time, Meng Changjin only needed to explain the ending casually and everyone would understand.
As he spoke, Meng Changjin had already aimed at a tree.
Meng Changjin still didn't know what kind of tree it was. She only knew that the tree was of moderate thickness and straight, exactly the kind she needed.
Gesturing everyone to move aside, Meng Changjin began to chop down trees.
Under the blade of Meng Changjin's magic sword, the tree was chopped down in just two or three strokes.
Meng Changjin used a knife to cut off all the branches and only needed the main trunk.
There is no need to worry about wasting the chopped branches, as they can be taken back and used as firewood.
Meng Changjin needed four trees of this thickness in total. Soon, he found three remaining trees of similar thickness, and in no time he could get a good piece of wood.
More time was spent on finding trees and cutting off branches. After the trees were cut down, all that was left was to move them back.
Knowing that Meng Changjin was going to build a wooden house, the hunting team members in the tribe who had no patrol missions today came to help.
Meng Changjin had helped them a lot during hunting, so it was no big deal for him to help out now.
Meng Changjin was naturally happy that someone came to help.
Many hands make light work. She could move all the trees back by herself, but if she didn't use the spiritual plant space, Meng Changjin could only move one tree at a time, so these four trees would need to be moved four times.
It’s not that Meng Changjin can only carry one tree at a time, she can carry two trees at a time, but that’s a bit scary.
Meng Changjin felt that she still had to consider everyone's concerns. It would be bad if they got sick from being scared.
With the help of the hunting team, Meng Changjin simply cut down all the remaining wood at once.
After the wood was cut, it was moved to the designated location by Meng Changjin by the people from the hunting team who came to help.
Building a wooden house is not just about building it. For example, in the location chosen by Meng Changjin, the soil is relatively loose, so the soil must be compacted.
This job was also given to Meng Changjin by everyone in the hunting team.
Some people were compacting the soil, and some were digging four deep holes to fix the four corners. Meng Changjin started to cut wooden nails.
Because Meng Changjin only knew about the mortise and tenon structure in a very superficial way, it was difficult for him to complete a wooden house with a mortise and tenon structure with complete precision.
Therefore, Meng Changjin chose a partial mortise and tenon structure, without using any wooden nails.
Just build a wooden house that is big enough to withstand wind and rain without collapsing.
I don't ask for beauty or prettiness.
I don't ask for too much. Meng Changjin is a little obsessed with looks, but isn't that right for people? If Meng Changjin was so obsessed with looks, then after living in the cave for two or three months, she would have been unable to resist transforming the cave.
Because there was no requirement for the visual appearance, Meng Changjin was very efficient in building the wooden house.
With the help of the hunting team, it only took two or three days for the exterior of Meng Changjin's wooden house to take shape.
Now all you need to do is surround the four walls with wooden boards or sticks and cover the roof, and then this wooden house can be lived in.
Meng Changjin planned to use wooden boards for the four walls, but because he was concerned that the roof would leak when it rained, he used bamboo.
A whole bamboo can be split into two halves and the inside can be hollowed out, and then it can be used directly as a tile.
And there is no need to lay the tiles one by one.
It only takes one line to complete the vertical line, and you just need to fix them horizontally in rows, and the roof will be done.
Meng Changjin's wooden house gradually took shape, and during this process, other people in the tribe were watching.
By now, everyone has begun to have a clear concept of the wooden house that Meng Changjin mentioned.
