MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 69
Sang Yu is checking the quality of the newly burned coal at the charcoal yard.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he knew that it was people from the Rock Tribe.
He waved at them and prepared to take them to visit an operation process that was preparing to make wood charcoal.
The charcoal field is at the foot of the mountain, close to the source of wood.
A total of five large pits were dug on the ground here, and half of the kiln was built. The upper half was not completely sealed, just for the convenience of filling firewood, and then sealed with mud later.
It can be regarded as a semi-permanent charcoal-burning kiln, which saves a lot of procedures to a certain extent.
Sang Yu led them to watch from the first steps, and Jiao followed aside to explain, and soon the people of the rock tribe understood the whole process.
Seeing is one thing, but actually operating is another. Especially after experiencing many failures in pottery making, the rock tribe now has no confidence in their ability to make kilns.
Seeing Ya's troubled look, Sang Yu smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. Let us two veterans go directly to your tribe later, and come back after burning charcoal in the two kilns."
An overjoyed look appeared on Ya's face and she said, "It's the best—won't this be too much trouble?"
"We are a cooperative relationship, so there is no need to say such foreign words."
For Sangyu, a harmonious partner is more important than anything else.
What's more, the Rock Tribe owed him such a big favor. Judging from the current situation, their development speed will not be faster than that of the Phoenix tribe. Especially the management style and will of their main leaders. It is unlikely that the two tribes will stand on opposite sides in the future. It is better to take what they need based on the advantages of both sides.
"Otherwise, don't be in a hurry to go back today. The kiln will be opened tomorrow. Let them learn from the master. In the field, the planting team is also storing cassava stalks these days. Go over and have a look. Leave in two days."
This is a real technical teaching, how could Ya miss it, she didn't even think about it and responded directly.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the people in each team are still working hard.
After all, after it snows, I have to stay in the house all the time, and I can't go out, and I can't do a lot of work, so I can do more before it snows.
Everyone is busy working, the rock tribe is busy studying, and Sangyu can't stop. Although she didn't have to follow her all the time, her mind was always in motion.
As the infrastructure construction becomes more and more perfect, and after having enough food, clothing and shelter, people also begin to have higher requirements on the spiritual level.
Now, except for the youngest child, everyone in the tribe is devoted to the construction of the tribe, working from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, many of which are very heavy physical work.
Now that there is Sunday, Sang Yu also wants to set up some sports activities for the people of the tribe, which are beneficial to the body and mind and improve the spirit, especially some sports activities.
Near the training ground, there is a large piece of flat and open grass, and Sang Yu is casting his gaze there.
Such a large lawn can be divided into two football fields, and the conditions required for football are much lower than other activities such as basketball and table tennis. As long as there is a piece of grass, a football can be made by wrapping animal skins with leaves and soil , the sport could not be more appropriate to move here.
In fact, this idea is not just today. Before going to the Rock Tribe, Sang Yu started planning for the football field, and finally had time to actually start construction when he came back.
After the hunting team came back from inspecting the traps in the past two days, she was called to the big lawn to work with wires.
The two football fields are divided and the goals are set.
The right angle of the court can be drawn using the Pythagorean theorem to ensure that the court is a square rectangle.
Sang Yu himself is not familiar with football fields, so he roughly estimated the size of the field, used a rope as a ruler, pulled out the edge, and then sprinkled plant ash along the rope.
Dig out the lines sprinkled with plant ash, and fill in algae plants of other colors to distinguish the boundaries.
This work is not difficult, and it was built in two days.
Then use bamboo to set up the goal. Now the tribe has hemp thread, and under the arrangement of Sang Yu, the garment workshop has woven a few simple large nets to cover the four goals.
Ya's people work in the charcoal field, and half of them go to the field with the planting team to see how they preserve the cassava stalks. She doesn't have to do these trivial tasks herself, and spends most of the two days with Sangyu.
Seeing that she has been busy working on this field, she is very puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
The field in front of me is so easy to fight, even if it is cold and the grass is not completely withered, Ya can't help but want to go up and roll around.
Sang Yu smiled and threw her a leather dumpling the size of a child's head, and said, "Come, play football with us."
Ya was nimble, and caught Pi Tuanzi with one hand and said, "This thing is called football, how do you play it?"
Sang Yu looked at a few team members who had just finished their work and went back to eat and passed by: "Everyone, come here, I will teach you how to play football."
In the past two days, everyone has seen that their leader is busy with this, and they have been curious for a long time. Now I can finally play with the ball, and quickly move closer.
Sang Yu counted, and there were still less than twenty people. It happened that a few young people from the Rock Tribe had just finished work and walked towards the gathering place, and asked Ya to call them over to make up the number of people.
Not counting Sang Yu, there were about twenty people, and there were one or two substitutes left.
Sang Yu gathered the people together and explained the rules of the game. Just as everyone was getting ready to start the game, Sang Yu, the referee, noticed something. There was no whistle, but it was not a big problem. Xindi is quiet here, and it is still possible to shout with your voice of.
People from the two tribes were mixed together, and Sang Yu casually pointed to a team to serve first.
With an order, the game started, and everyone started to move.
Sang Yu didn't expect that the big guys would be so enthusiastic about this activity. Everyone kept in mind what she emphasized just now, mainly use your feet to dribble, and don't make malicious fouls. It's good not to invest.
And there are still people who can dribble past people, this time Sang Yu was stunned.
That person was Yu, who was a lot smaller than Ya in height. Although she exercises regularly, she is too young to be fully developed. Compared with the fit and tall Ya, she is one-third younger.
Now the two are in different teams, confronting each other head-on, the tall and tall Ya stands in front of Yu, blocking her tightly.
The two refused to give in to each other, one was long-legged and strong, the other was agile and nimble, like a rhino fighting a little wild wolf.
The momentum of the contest between each other is fascinating.
After the ball on Yu's feet was snatched by Ya, the little guy gritted his teeth and rushed forward to get it back. His small body shoveled the ball from behind, then kicked it, and passed it to his teammate, the Rock Tribe The partner who came, the team reorganized the counterattack after receiving the ball, but Yu, who had exerted too much force just now, fell to the ground.
Ya lifted her up as if she was holding a chick and said, "Look at you with small arms and thin legs. If I didn't draw my feet so fast, I would have crushed you."
Yu's ears were a little red, she was going to be fifteen soon, obviously she had grown taller and taller, she was almost catching up with the leader, she was not a chick.
Where did Ya think so much, she slapped her thin back and said, "Just wait, our team will grab the ball back immediately."
After speaking, he took a long leg and ran forward to intercept the ball.
Her teammate is the weaving seedling of the handicraft team. He just came back from working in the field, and his feet were still covered with mud, so he was immediately caught and joined in playing football.
Miao was also nimble, and quickly snatched the ball back, and kicked it to Ya's side to the left. Ya's long legs pushed hard, and the whole ball hit her feet, and then flew up along a high parabola. Shooting in the direction of the opponent's goal, the whole situation changed in an instant.
Yu and the others rushed back to the defense.
Running back and forth and snatching like this, finally kicked out a one-to-one result.
And people who came back from work at night gathered on the side of the stadium. More than 200 people surrounded the entire stadium, and everyone screamed excitedly, so excited.
It wasn't until night fell that Sang Yu ordered the game to end.
Although no more goals were scored later, everyone felt very happy. After the end of the field, the players from both sides couldn't help but get together to discuss the game just now. The crowd also participated in the discussion excitedly, thinking that they would participate next time kick the ball game.
Seeing everyone excited, Sang Yu felt extremely satisfied.
Now here, in addition to material poverty, there is also spiritual emptiness.
Many tribes have totems, and totems are their beliefs.
However, since the shaman in the Bird Tribe passed away, Sang Yu took over the tribe and did not set up a shaman in this area. Instead, they focused on medicine-oriented shamans. People's lives are much better than before.
But every day is to work, eat, sleep and find a partner. It is time to explore and satisfy spiritual needs.
After dinner in the evening, Ya came to look for Sang Yu.
Sang Yu knew that she was here to bid farewell. Although it was only two days, it would take more than ten days if she had to travel back and forth. As the head of a tribe, it would not be good for Ya to leave for too long.
"I just made a decision to go back this morning, and you played another football match in the evening, which made me not want to go back."
Ya is obviously reluctant to part with her.
"If you don't want to go back, don't go back. Spend the winter in the Phoenix Tribe." Sang Yu joked.
Ya smiled, with a hint of bitterness on her face. Now the burden of the whole tribe is on my shoulders. Do I have a brain as bright as Sang Yu? The people of the tribe follow me. Food is becoming more and more difficult to find. I don’t know how many people will not be able to survive this winter.
Seeing her forced smile, Sang Yu seemed to understand her difficulty.
"Is your tribe ready for this winter's food?"
Ya squeezed out a smile and said: "I've prepared everything, eat less, and you can always get by."
The previous battle of the Rock Tribe also reduced their population to 200 people, and their food consumption was reduced to a certain extent.
But during the war, in order to vent his anger, Shi released all the prey that had been prepared for the winter. In addition to tigers and lions, there are also some herbivorous animals.
Coupled with the fact that they haven't hunted enough prey recently, this winter is bound to be a bit sad.
Sang Yu thought for a while, "You can also carry some cassava back tomorrow. Although it is not a big piece of meat, this food can at least fill you up and not starve to death."
Ya's eyes widened when she heard this. When they came, the grain in the field had already been harvested.
So she didn't know how much food the Phoenix Tribe had. But in her view, no tribe has ever been rich enough to distribute food to others.
She quickly shook her head and refused.
"There are so many people in your tribe, you are much more difficult than me. Of course, I am not giving you this for nothing. Next year, you will have to carry stones and charcoal in exchange."
Ya is not a shy person, but now she owes more and more to the Phoenix Tribe. This kind of cognition makes her hesitate, but she can think of "after the heavy snow is over, we will start to carry the stones. I will trouble you sooner." Send someone to help us build the kiln, I want to start burning charcoal as soon as possible, and I don't want to owe you too much favor."
Sang Yu knew that she couldn't stop her from thinking, so she replied unceremoniously: "Okay, once the heavy snow is over, I'll send people over."
This time Ya finally went back to sleep with peace of mind.
The place where the few of them slept for the past two days was the kang where the Fenghuang Tribe lived when it snowed.
Now that it hasn't snowed yet, the big guys are still sleeping in their bamboo huts. When the people from the rock tribe come, there are no other bamboo huts available, so they just burn the kang and sleep on the kang.
Sleeping for the past few days, they are so beautiful.
Ya thought about making such a kang when she went back. But to do this specifically, you have to ask someone from the Phoenix Tribe to guide you.
The leader of the Phoenix tribe is really powerful, and Ya feels sincere admiration.
Waking up the next morning, Sang Yu ordered Yuan and Ci to pack the cassava.
She had calculated before that this year more than 100 acres of land will be planted with cassava, and 10 acres of millet and 10 acres of beans will be planted. According to the configuration of planting two seasons a year, coupled with the animals hunted by the hunting team, it is enough for the two of them. Year's rations.
And this cassava can't be stored for a long time, so it doesn't matter if the rock tribe carries some back for the winter.
A small favor is given to the other party, but it is a big favor. Between the two parties, it will be easier to act in the future.
But it's not entirely like this mentality, she and Ya can be regarded as hitting it off. Now put the other party in the ranks of friends and think about it. If the members of the Phoenix Tribe were starved of food, I believe Ya would do the same.
Now, I only hope that the honeymoon period of the two tribes will last longer and give each other more convenience.
Seeing these people drifting away, Sang Yu turned around to check the winter materials and preparations that had been prepared earlier.
Several teams went up the mountain collectively, and the firewood was ready.
The millet and beans in the warehouse are also dried and sprinkled with lime powder and put directly into the warehouse;
Half of the cassava is peeled and dried in the sun, and the other half is stored in the shade. There are a lot of cassava. When it snows, it can be cooked and used as rations for farm animals.
The cassava stalks are evenly buried in the ground to avoid frostbite, and they will be dug out for planting next year.
At the same time, she also has to consider that if she stays indoors on snowy days, she has to find some work to do, so she can't waste these productive forces.
Dressmaking and furniture making are some of the best indoor jobs.
There is not a lot of hemp recovered from the Black Mountain tribe this year, and the animal skins have to be sewn.
As early as when the bone needles started making the first silk clothes, Jiao led people to grind dozens of them under the guidance of Sang Yu, which was enough.
But now with the technology of iron making, the production of iron needles can also be put on the agenda.
After the animal skin is processed, it is sewn into a coat. When you go out in these snowy days, you will be warm without catching cold.
Straw sandals are also made, and both men and women have to do it. Except for big bosses like Zhuang, some men and women can choose what they are good at.
