I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

By the fourth day, the rain had stopped, and the dense dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. The whole world seemed to have turned on the lights, and suddenly turned from black to white. The inky clouds were gradually torn apart, revealing the golden warm sun and the azure blue sky hidden inside. The beams of setting sun shone straight down, illuminating the land that had been baptized by the rainstorm.

The raindrops still remained on the branches and leaves, glistening and transparent under the early sunshine. A cool breeze blew them away.

Tick ​​tock tick tock…

Nishi Ichiki and his tribesmen woke up while the rain and fog were still lingering.

The depressed mood of the past few days disappeared without a trace the moment I pushed away the stone and saw the early sun.

The warriors of the hunting team packed their weapons early and went out excitedly.

Nishi Ichisu plans to go to the creek to take a look. She is ready to put breeding business on the agenda.

Walking on dead branches and mud along the way, listening to the chirping of insects reappearing in the forest, it is no exaggeration to say: this feeling is so refreshing!

"Cool!"

Xi Yiqi's shout scared the birds that had just come out to bask in the sun so much that they dared not stay and flew away, leaving only the leaves rustling.

After walking through the mud and rotten branches, we finally reached the stream.

As expected, the water in the stream was still very turbid, but with the water filter it didn't matter.

The main purpose today is to catch fish.

Nishi Ichishu squatted by the stream and surveyed it carefully. Although the water flow was not so turbulent, the stone fishing trap could not be set up for the time being.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to weave a few long and thin fish baskets, fix them to a nearby big tree with vines, and hang them in a place where the stream is more turbulent, waiting for the fish to be washed in by the water.

She did what she said and quickly returned to the tribe and found Wu Lu, You Xi and others.

In just one morning, they had woven several exquisite fish baskets.

Before noon, Xi Yiqi fixed the fish basket with vines and returned to the tribe.

There are a lot of fish in the primeval forest. As long as you don't think about catching them with your bare hands, it is still easy to catch them with the help of tools, so Nishi Yiqi is not worried about not getting any catch.

The reason why she needed to get back to the tribe before noon was because there were more important things to do - dig a fish pond where she could temporarily raise fish!

Of course, don't expect her to dig well with her thin arms and legs. She had already communicated her plan with the patriarch before the patriarch left.

The chief said that the two people who were on guard duty in the tribe would return to the tribe in the afternoon to help her.

So, Nishi Ichi was bored and picking up stones with a few children. These stones would be used later.

Before long, they picked up a pile of stones and piled them in an open space a few meters to the right of the tribe.

There, Nishi Ichisu used branches to circle a rough location in the soft mud.

Not only that, she also took all the remaining linen clothes from Wu Yu, cut them open with a stone knife, and then sewed them together with bone needles and "thread", preparing to use them to make a fish pond later.

Wu Yu clearly revealed a trace of heartache and reluctance. Before seeing Xi Yiqi off, she quietly hugged the last piece of linen clothing on her body.

……

Nishi Ichisu: Tongzi, do you think he is that serious?

【As for! 】

In fact, Nishi Ichiki didn't want to take off what he was wearing, at least not for the time being.

If you need it later...

She touched her chin and could only borrow it for a while.

After experiencing the food crisis a few days ago, Nishi Ichiki is no longer interested in wearing linen clothes.

The most important thing is to fill your stomach rather than clothes!

It is spring now, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and animal skins are just right for wearing.

As for the arrival of summer, the tribe must definitely visit the Wasa tribe, and it will not be too late to find a solution to the clothing problem then.

The most important thing at the moment is to ensure sufficient food and clean water.

"Wu Xiqi——" Yan Luo's deep voice came from afar.

"Hey! You're back!" Xi Yiqi raised his head and saw Yanluo and Arthur walking out of the forest with some fruits and stone spears in their hands.

As soon as the two approached, Yan Luo handed Xi Yiqi some Han fruits and said, "I found these on the way out. Take them and eat them."

Nishi Ichiki quickly took the fruit and said with a smile, "Thank you, uncle. What a coincidence, it's you two again today."

Yan Luo smiled shyly and said, "When the tribe leader assigned personnel this morning, Arthur and I took the initiative to ask to go on leave. We wanted to come back and help you dig the fish pond."

He thought for a moment and added, "In the past, after the rain stopped, many animals would come out to look for food, and each time we had a good harvest, so it's okay if we're missing. The hunting team doesn't need to worry."

Nishi Ichiki smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you. I have already drawn the approximate location. Come and have a look."

She led the two to the corresponding position, pointed to the circle on the ground, and continued, "It's here."

"By the way, Uncle, what kind of stone tools do you use to dig the ground?"

To be honest, primitive people didn't farm so there was no need to dig the ground. After coming here, apart from the stone tools used for hunting, Nishi Ichiki had only seen a simple version of the chisel used by the Stone Axe people to grind stones.

Apart from that, I have never seen them have any stone tools that can be used for digging.

After all, this time it is not like digging an earth stove, where you only need to dig a small hole. It is impossible to dig a pond with only wood chips and stone chips.

Yan Luo stared at the circle drawn on the ground by Xi Yiqi. After standing there thinking for a moment, he turned and walked towards the storage cave. After rummaging through the pile of stone tools for a while, he took out two stone tools that Xi Yiqi had never seen before.

Hey, if you look closely, it really does look like the prototype of a modern shovel, except that the connection between the shovel head and the shovel body is straight!

Looking at the stone tools in their hands, Xi Yiqi felt a little relieved. If he used these stone tools to dig, it should be a lot easier.

The two of them didn't waste any time and quickly started digging, while Nishi Ikki continued to carry stones on the side.

She also dug up some aquatic plants from the stream and planned to plant them by the pond.

As the work went on, the sun gradually set and the pond was almost dug.

Nishi Ichisu did not draw a very large pond because her linen was not big enough. It was only about four square meters wide and about one and a half meters deep.

In addition, the continuous heavy rain made the land extremely soft, and the two men were very strong, so the excavation speed was quite fast.

It is precisely because the soil has become soft that we need to put down this layer of linen to prevent the fish from drilling into the soil.

Yan Luo and Arthur were swinging stone tools hard in the pit, sweating profusely.

After seeing this, Xi Yiqi couldn't help but admire the hard work of the primitive people from the bottom of his heart!

After looking at it for a while, she thought this stone shovel was really good and seemed to be quite useful.

Seeing this, Nishi Ichisu asked, "Who made this stone tool?"

"This was polished by Lu Ye from the tribe. Most of the stone tools in the tribe were made by him!" Yan Luo replied.

"Grandpa Luye?" It turned out to be the lame old man who had always stayed in the tribe.

Yan Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "When Lu Ye was young, he was one of the best warriors in the tribe. Unfortunately, he was injured while hunting. Since then, he has stayed in the tribe and started to polish stone tools. Whatever you want, he can make it."

!!!

"Can I have a stone knife?" Nishi Ichiki asked hurriedly.

"sure"

That’s great, it’s the most urgent need!

I have to find time to look for Grandpa Lu Ye. Before that, I have to design a suitable stone knife for myself, she thought to herself.

While Nishi Ichiki was planting aquatic plants, he chatted with the two of them.

The pond was finally dug as the sun was about to set.

"What should we do now?" The two men climbed out of the pit swiftly and asked while looking at the pit in front of them.

Nishi Ichisu quickly handed them two bowls of filtered water.

The two drank it all in one breath.

"Let's spread this sackcloth on the ground of the pit, and then press it tightly with these stones to secure it. This will prevent the fish from drilling into the mud. Then go to the creek and fetch two buckets of water and pour it in." Xi Yiqi took the stone bowl and said.

The three of them were all action-oriented. Following Nishi Ichisu's instructions, they spread the cloth, pressed the stones, and went to the stream together.

Yan Luo and Arthur carried the stone jar back and forth three or four times and finally filled the pond.

Nishi Ichisu followed the two of them and took back the fish basket.

Sure enough, the rushing water of the creek washed down many fish and shrimps, and the harvest was quite good, both big and small.

Nishi Ichiki brought them all back at once.

After the two men filled the pond with water, Xi Yiqi picked out a few large fish and prepared to cook them in the evening, and threw all the others in to keep them.

Watching the "fish in the jar" swimming freely in the pond.

Nishi Ichiki put his hands on his waist and shouted in a childish tone: "From now on, this fish pond will be contracted by me, Nishi Ichiki!"
