Chapter 127 Is It Difficult?

"Xiao Yan, tomorrow you will go with everyone to carry the stones for building the house. After dinner, the two of them snuggled together and chatted. Because of the help of the tribesmen, they have made several hoes and pickaxes. The iron they have smelted can be made into knives. Although it is simple to say, they have spent a lot of effort to do this. They spent nearly half a month on it.

From burning charcoal and digging soil to smelting iron, each step requires huge manpower, and the amount of iron obtained is pitifully small, so she wants the tribesmen to see if they can find iron ore when they go out. With iron ore, these The problem will be solved.

The place where they dug the soil was lower than other places, and this was the result of not digging in the same place. Now they had to go to a farther place to get the soil, which undoubtedly required a lot of manpower.

And she also had to make some bricks, which required a lot of manpower. If it weren't for the help of the people in the tribe, she and Xiao Yan didn't know when they would get it.

Xiao Yan just looked at her without saying anything. Shen Xiaoxiao also understood what he meant, and said helplessly, "I will be fine in the tribe, and we asked the people in the tribe to help. It would be inappropriate for us to stay in the tribe and not follow them." Although they helped her work without complaint, she couldn't be rude at all.

"If you don't go, then I'll go with them. "Shen Xiaoxiao said helplessly. She knew Xiao Yan was worried that something would happen to her again, but they couldn't stay together forever. If not, she would go with him, so that he could rest assured and she could help. But in this case, she could only tell others to dig clay and wait for her to come back to make adobe.

Before firing bricks, they need to be dried for two days, and the adobe can be fired only after it is completely dry.

She can go with them to move stones and come back to make adobe.

Xiao Yan stared at her, and after a long time, he sighed, "If I go with them, you must promise me not to go anywhere else and be good."

Shen Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "I know, I will never walk around, even if I go somewhere, I will let others follow me. "She also knew that she would definitely encounter some bad things as soon as she left the tribe. It was no wonder that Xiao Yan was so nervous. She would stay in the tribe if she could, otherwise there would definitely be people around her. This seemed to have become a tacit understanding of the tribe. No matter when, there would be people around her, but most of the time it was Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Yan didn't want to separate, moving stones was heavy work, and he was reluctant to let Xiao Xiao do it. Moreover, it would take a long way to bring back stones that met Xiao Xiao's requirements. The stones in that place were relatively large and there were more of them. There were fewer stones in other places, and they needed to be found.

"The place we are going to is far away, and it may take dark to come back. Take care of yourself at home." Xiao Yan couldn't help but remind him. Although he hadn't left yet, he couldn't let go of his heart.

"Okay." After a pause, "Is it far away?"

"Well, there are many large stones in that place. We saw them by chance when we went hunting and chasing prey before. Because we had never seen so many stones piled together, we were curious and wrote them down. "According to the number of stones Xiaoxiao said, we only need to go there, and there is no need to look for them everywhere. We can just move them directly.

"I'll take a few more people with me, and it will take a few more days to move them." Thinking that she was worried, Xiao Yan comforted her, "Don't you say that we still need to dig the foundation? We will definitely move all the stones back before the foundation is dug."

"Do you think I'm worried about this?" Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. She wanted them to prepare all the materials as soon as possible, but she was not Zhou Bapi. "Wait, you go a few days later, I'll get a small cart, and then push it back with the cart." Although it's tiring, at least it won't crush anyone.

But to make a cart, you need some tools. The key is that there is a shortage of iron now. It takes a long time to make a set of tools. In addition, it takes at least half a month to select firewood. This is still her least. If there are some accidents, it may not be done in a month.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoxiao frowned, and Xiao Yan saw this and said, "What's wrong? Is it difficult? "

Shen Xiaoxiao told him about her concerns. Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and then said, "I'll go with them as planned to carry it back, or carry it back in a basket. Hunting is harder than this, we are used to it, don't worry."

"Besides, we can't delay them for too long. Now there are more people in the tribe, and it's not good to let them help us work all the time." Even if this was agreed at the beginning, no one would be happy after a long time.

If it takes dozens of days to build a house as Xiaoxiao said, they can't delay it. After it is built, if the tribe also wants to build it, it will take a lot of time, and they will need to collect food for the winter later. It's impossible to let them do this all the time.

"It can only be done this way. We will treat them to a meal when the time comes." Although Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it, the current conditions were like this, and she couldn't make a tool at once. The main reason was that although she knew how to make a wheelbarrow, she couldn't guarantee that there would be no mistakes, and the mortise and tenon structure used was even more complicated, so they could only do hard labor first.

She also got these things out as soon as possible, but she had to ask the witch doctor for a few people to learn from her. After all, carpentry is also a craft. Learning it will benefit you for life, and you will definitely need furniture in the future. She can't do it alone. Teaching them is the right way. In the future, she can save time and effort. She can just ask them for help.

However, she can only do simple things, so she has to find some people who are insightful and interested in this business. She will teach them the basics, and the rest will depend on their own understanding.

There are more than a hundred people in the tribe now, and she doesn't believe that she can't find two people with good understanding.

The two talked for a while before going back to rest. Soon, a blushing sound was heard in the cave, and it stopped after a long time.

The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao specially boiled dozens of eggs for them to take. Now there is no good dry food to take with them, so she can only boil two eggs. Although it is not full, it can fill the stomach, at least not so hungry.

"If you can't bring back so many stones at once, you can bring less and go tomorrow." Shen Xiaoxiao reminded.

"Goddess, we got it, don't worry." Shi An said with a smile. Today it was Shi An's turn not to go hunting. In order not to delay iron smelting, the witch doctor asked Shi An and his friends to move stones.

"Wait for me to come back." Xiao Yan held Shen Xiaoxiao's hand with reluctance.

"Be careful, nothing is more important than you, you must do what you can." Shen Xiaoxiao repeatedly reminded, "Take these eggs to eat at noon, and there is water in it, you share them, don't drink raw water, understand."

"Yes." Xiao Yan agreed seriously, "Then let's go."

"Go, I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay in the tribe." Knowing that Xiao Yan was worried about this, she promised.
