Orcs’ Time Through Time - Chapter 62

Let A Rui help to fill out all the water in a wooden bowl. I encourage everyone to be careful for a while, and it will be good soon. With the help of Aman and Alin, I quickly put the two water-filled woods. Get the bucket over, and I will hold one by myself, and let Aman and Alin hold one in their hands.

From the roof of the bullock cart, I pulled out the cowhide that was basking during this period of time, and quickly cut it to size with a bone knife, and asked Aman and Alin to do the same as I did.

Drill holes in the dried cowhide, then use cowhide rope to string these holes on the wooden block every few times, let the whole cowhide cover the surface of the barrel due to gravity, and then buckle these with thick linen rope. The wood block of the buckled cowhide rope is tied tightly to make the cowhide more tight on the barrel, and we use the remaining wooden pegs from the bullock cart to be nailed into the cowhide drum one by one, so that the drum head is not easy to loosen , A simple cowhide drum with only one side is ready.

In fact, the production of cowhide drums is of course not that simple, but now the conditions are limited, and I have to do this first.

In order to make the cowhide drum make a louder sound, while Aman and Alin were making the second drum with the gourd painting scoop, I also chopped a piece of wood into four pieces, and simply sharpened it with Make drumsticks.

Because of the simplicity of production, we did not spend a lot of time making these drums. Of course, I am not sure how effective it is.

I tapped it lightly with the ready-made drumsticks, and the sound was still there. When I started the experiment, I didn’t dare to tap too loudly. After all, the people here couldn’t stand it.

Let Aman and Alin put the drum they made on the opposite side and give them the drumsticks. And remind our own people to pay attention.

I took the drumstick and knocked it hard!

I was worried about whether the drum made in this way would have a sound, but it’s amazing. Maybe it really won’t kill us. The sound of this drum is actually very loud.

Not to mention that the wolves on the opposite side suddenly got messed up. A few wolves even jumped back a few meters in a hurry. The whole formation has been messed up. Even our own people, listened to the words I yelled to pay attention to. I was mentally prepared, when the sound rang, I was still shocked, and a few even looked back at us.

If it weren’t for the wolves also startled by this sound, this would be an opportunity.

I didn’t care how surprised they were. I shouted loudly for Aman and Alin to continue to beat the drums vigorously, and at the same time I beat the drums vigorously, no matter how painful my ears and hands were.

While watching Canaan and Luo Lei have organized everyone to drive away the wolves.

Perhaps the first time I heard this sound, the wolves were a little confused.

Although our people are a bit upset, at least they are not as chaotic as a pack of wolves. Because the first time we heard such a noisy and non-stop sound, our hunters launched an attack again, and soon, these originally prepared wolves fled hurriedly under the leadership of the first wolf.

In order to make sure that they had been driven away, Canaan and the others also chased them with a lighted torch, confirming that they had rushed to a place far away from us.

Seeing how dangerous the neighborhood is, we dare not make more stops. Look at everyone although they are tired, but the current spirit is still good, and because we drove away such a large group of sharp-horned wolves, everyone’s spirits are still refreshed. In line with the principle of eagerness, he didn’t even take care of camping and rest. We also carried the two drums to the car and took turns eating some jerky. Taking advantage of the night, we continued to drive to another river.

In order to avoid the danger of rushing through the night on the road, I also specially asked the tribesmen who were on their turn to wear winter shoes, with torches in their hands, and still holding long wooden forks in their hands to cut grass in front of them. The tribesmen who had their turn to rest squeezed to sleep in the bullock cart.

Although Canaan and Luo Lei both persuaded me to rest for a while, seeing such a scene during the day, I didn’t dare to close my eyes.

They all came out with me. I am responsible for them. Now we can’t say that it is safe. How dare I sleep.

Just ask them to pay more attention to the situation when they take turns to watch the night, and let the people who open the road pay more attention to their feet and side when they move forward, and they sit against the frame of the bullock cart.

Luo Lei wanted to comfort me at first, but seeing that I was very determined, he didn’t say anything. He just hugged A Rui, who was holding his breath, patted Rona on the shoulder, and went to the front of the team. .

Beside the second bullock cart, Canaan patted Ye Jia’s hair, said something to Ye Jia, and broke it at the end of the team.

I sat and didn’t dare to sleep all night. I arranged for everyone to eat in the morning and asked Canaan about how long it would take to reach our destination. Let Canaan tell everyone that we are only half a day away from where we are going. Everyone will continue to hurry up today. By the evening of this day, we will be able to reach the river where we will spend tomorrow. Tomorrow, we will It’s time to get to the location of the new tribe!

Perhaps because of the good news, the people of the tribe are very excited. Although the families from the He ethnic group have never been there, the dozens of people from the You tribe have all been there, and everyone knows about it.

In the morning, everyone moved faster. It was supposed to arrive at the river in the evening, but actually arrived in the middle of the afternoon.

Looking at the wide river surface 40-50 meters wide in front of me, and looking at the river surface that is twice as wide as it is seen in the distance, I have to say that I have a kind of astonishment.

In front of this river, the one we have walked before is indeed a veritable small river. This river is not only within the field of view, the narrowest river surface is also 40-50 meters wide, and the widest part of the upper reaches is about 70-80 meters wide. Even the banks and depressions formed by the accumulation of rivers on both sides are estimated to be there. One or two hundred meters wide. No wonder Canaan said that after crossing the river, it takes a long time to walk from the riverside to the depression where we are going.

I also asked Canaan, even if it is a wider area upstream, there is absolutely no way for us to wade through the water. So what Canaan proposed was that the males carried everything on their backs, and then carried the people back. As for the cows, they were used to make food for these two days.

Not to mention that I also have feelings for these few cows, three of them were raised by our family. Even if it is a cattle caught, I cannot agree with this view.

Luo Lei also didn’t agree. He asked Canaan, after we passed, the ox cart and things should be carried by the males? Not to mention physical problems. In such weather, walking with these things on our back can easily make our hunters lose their physical strength. We don’t know what the situation is. If we lose our physical strength, we encounter wolves or something else. What is the danger of this, what should we do? Besides, cattle are also an important labor force in our daily lives, used to carry things, trailers, and so on. Now that we have fewer people than before, just when we need cows, how can we kill the mature cows so easily?

Although cows have no other role in our lives except for trailers, I am still very happy that Lore can think of so much. It is not in vain that I talk to him about things that are not here every day.

However, in this way, how do we carry things across the river with the cows has become a big problem.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to rely on ships to cross the river, but it is not realistic to build ships now. Not to mention that the males here have never built ships, even if I do it myself, I can’t build ships.

Seeing everyone preparing for camping and dinner tonight, I was busy thinking about ways to cross the river.

The surface of the river was calm and calm, and occasionally some plants that did not know where they came from stayed along the water. There are no trees on the plain here, so it’s very tanned here, and it’s summer again. I look at the tree protruding from the foot of the mountain on the opposite side with sweat and envy. I remembered going to Guilin to do a bamboo raft in a certain year.

Yes, bamboo raft!

Thinking of bamboo rafts, I thought of rafts again! Rafts are much easier than shipbuilding. As long as they are tied properly, and then each tree trunk is fixed with wooden slats, it can float on the water. The important thing is that the trees here are very high, and the length is almost enough to make a raft with two cows standing on it.

Just do what I say, I immediately wanted to call Canaan and Luo Lei who were still discussing how to cross the river with everyone.

I saw Luo Lei standing behind me, holding a piece of wood like a raft, and handing it to me.

Good guys!

I’ve seen this stuff before, so I knew I was going to do this. This guy actually figured out this stuff on his own.

For a while, I felt a sense of pride that deserved to be our family’s Luo Lei.

I looked at the wooden rafts in my hand that were not very neat and looked at Luo Lei: “How did you think of it?”

I saw him straightening out my scattered hair that was blown by the wind: “You said before that there are things that can float on the water, and then they can be transported over. I have seen wood floating in the water before. On the water. I think this is probably the boat you are talking about.”

I laughed: “This is not a boat. This is called a raft or a wooden raft. If it is made of bamboo, it is called a bamboo raft. If it is made of a sheepskin bag, it should be called a sheepskin raft.”

I said so much in one breath. It seemed that Luo Lei didn’t understand it. Indeed, he hadn’t seen it before, and it was impossible to have an intuitive impression. It was hard to imagine these things only by listening, let alone a sheepskin raft. I don’t say much. Just let him call Canaan over, and we are going to ask people to cut the wood on the other side of the river and make a raft!

Because Luo Lei knows better how to make a raft, I also told him that they cut tall and thick trees directly, and washed the branches clean, instead of splitting them into blocks, they directly used flax ropes on these trees of similar thickness. Tie them together and fasten them tightly, and then nail them on the back so that the trunk will not fall apart. So the task of taking a few people to the other side of the river to cut wood and make a raft was assigned to Luo Lei.

Everyone here began to tie up the tents and be on guard at any time, ready to start eating dinner and rest for the night, and prepare to cross the river tomorrow morning.

Luo Lei took the wooden nails that had been useless and went there with a few people. Although it took longer than the phenomenon, I didn’t see the fire on the river until it was dark, and then I heard Lukas and the others shouting.

But looking at the huge wooden raft on the river, I still feel very satisfied.

Luo Lei was very thoughtful in this regard. The size and thickness of the wood were about the same, and the length was about the same, and the raft was very strong. Just now, there were two or three males standing on the raft.

Xin Mu told me that the first time I stood on the wooden raft, I was a little nervous, because they used to fly to cross the river, but now they stepped on the water, which is incredible.

Hongda said that a few times when the water moved, he wanted to fly, but he looked good, he insisted on it, and then came over.

I think he told me so enthusiastically that he actually wanted me to praise him, so I smiled and told him that it was good. He seemed disappointed.

Now that everyone has returned, they dragged the raft to the shallow water beach here, and built a big wooden stake on the bank to tie the raft.

Everyone also started to eat dinner, because they didn’t go hunting today, so it’s relatively simple to eat. After eating, everyone should watch the night vigil and rest. For safety, I still let the night watchman pose with the cowhide drum. On the one hand, I can deter the animals, and on the other hand, I can also wake up the sleeping people. However, perhaps because of giving up on hunting us, we slept well this night.

Early the next morning, we started crossing the river.

Because I don’t know how much weight the wooden raft can bear and how much draft. So we didn’t dare to catch the ox and the ox cart all at once. First, we removed the contents of the ox cart and put them on the raft bit by bit.

We were very happy when we found that this wooden raft can hold a whole ox cart and the things on it, and a few people can stand on it.

So for the second time, we pushed an ox cart directly onto the raft.

After going back and forth several times, things, females and children all passed by the raft. Some people were left with the “sonic weapon” to protect the children and females who had crossed the river. Now, Luo Lei and I are left with a few people here to prepare to cross the river with the cattle.

When cows have their eyes open, they are unwilling to walk on the raft no matter how to lead them. I think they probably won’t be buffaloes.

In order to make them willing to go to the raft, I finally had to propose to cover their eyes with animal skins.

Covering their eyes with animal skins allowed them to follow the raft smoothly, but when they first got on the raft, it still caused a small struggle, and even the raft almost turned over. At that time, because I was standing on the wooden platoon, Luo Lei was so frightened that he held me pale for a long time. No matter how much I calm down, I won’t let me direct the bullying anymore.

Although I didn’t have much influence in the command, Luo Lei managed to get the job done smoothly, probably because of the influence of his pressure as a griffon. Although the cows were a little reluctant at first, they didn’t. After finishing the raft, it was more honest to have Luo Lei standing beside him. So it became Luo Lei and I were standing on the wooden raft and pulling the bulls together. In the sky, Hongda and Mohe took the rope and flew across the river.

After a few round trips like this, we finally all crossed the river, and everyone was relieved. In sight, the grass on this side of the river seemed to be lower than the other side we had just come over. Although I saw several buffalo herds and wild sheep in the distance, we didn’t seem to see animals such as wolves.

Looking at the bank on the other side of the river, I don’t know when we rushed over again. We are standing on the bank of the river looking at our wolves. We all feel so lucky!
