After the two ronin brothers Yang and Sang left, Lin Xiao began to play Ha Qie boredly again.
In this world full of wild colors, there are no entertainment projects. He either eats or sleeps every day, and there is nothing for entertainment. He once thought about swimming in the water, but when he thought of those strange fish in the river, Lin Xiao thought about it seriously. , chose to give up, fearing that as soon as he put his foot into the water, his foot would be gone.
But Lin Xiao thinks about the strange fish in the river every day. The reason is very simple, that is Lin Xiao's desire for revenge. If he hadn't tried his best to swim to the shore on the day of the crash, he would have become one of those people. The strange fish's meal on the plate, he now wanted to eat fish and gnashed his teeth to eat it.
Lin Xiao was thinking while eating the fruit. At this moment, he saw three figures in the distance, elongated in the sun and slowly walking toward him. One of them was much taller than the other two.
When Lao Ke is not patrolling, he will also go hunting with ordinary hunting teams. Of course, they cannot easily hunt those large beasts, but with the cooperation of more than a dozen people, they can still catch some underage beasts, unlike Lin Xiao This man who lacks exercise in modern life, Lao Ke's body is full of muscles and has eight-pack abs.
Lin Xiao thought about it for a while. This kind of figure is probably what modern people say to look thin when dressed, but to look fat when undressed. It is impossible to be envious. Lin Xiao feels that he should increase his exercise. He has been too lazy recently because of the carnivorous diet. After being solved, he rarely went out to collect wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.
Lin Xiao made up his mind that when Lei Helie went out to collect wild fruits in the future, he would also go with him. He didn't know many plants, and he needed Lei Helie to teach him how to distinguish which fruits were edible, and to supplement some wild fruits appropriately. Fruits are the only way to have balanced nutrition, not meat alone.
"A Xiao." Lao Ke waved to Lin Xiao from a distance. He had a smile in his eyes and was particularly kind.
Lin Xiao saw him and asked, somewhat lost for words: "Lao Ke, do you have a day off today?"
"Yes, didn't you say before that you wanted me to get you something? I just happened to be free today so I came here." Lao Ke chuckled. He had an animal skin wrapped around his waist. Because it was a little hot, he pulled it with his hands uncomfortably. He pulled his pants.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you. Do you have a knife?"
Lao Ke took out the knife from behind and said, "Of course I brought it with me. How can I get this thing out of my hands!"
"That's good, just wait!" Lin Xiao called Lei Helie to help get the wooden boards out of the house, and then with the help of a piece of grass, the spare coal painted on the upper wooden boards for about ten minutes. If not, Lin Xiao explained: "Cut directly where I drew the line, and then remove the blackened area for me."
Lao Ke stared at it for a while and said, "No problem, but I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the blackened pieces you mentioned, so I don't know where to start."
Lin Xiao then said: "It's okay, let's do it like this first!"
"Okay, I'll do it first!" Lao Ke chuckled, and then started to do it directly. Lei next to him also helped.
Lin Xiao didn't want to sleep on the floor, so he needed a bed first, but there were no nails, because Lin Xiao had been struggling with this for a long time. It was only a few days ago that Lin Xiao realized that he was stupid!
Ancient Chinese people never used nails. Even in ancient times, the cost of making nails was very high. Therefore, Chinese furniture generally did not use nails. The wisdom of the ancient Chinese people was infinite. The mortise and tenon structure invented by the big guys did not require the use of nails at all. This kind of thing can make wooden furniture one by one.
There is also furniture in the Bahrain tribe. Of course, this kind of furniture is usually made of the whole wood with a hollow inside. Not only is it troublesome to make, but it is also very troublesome to hollow out the wood itself, so there are very few people who have furniture, like this This kind of integrated furniture would be dozens of times more expensive in modern times, but it would be too bulky for Lin Xiao.
The mortise and tenon joint is a product of the wisdom of ancient people. It uses mortise and tenon joints to match the joints between the components to form a frame structure. In fact, it is essentially a concave and convex connection method. The protruding part is called a tenon, and the concave part is called a tenon. The mortise and tenon joints play the role of connection after being engaged.
Of course, Lin Xiao is not a professional. The mortise and tenon structure used is the simplest concave and convex structure. You must know that there are more than dozens of mortise and tenon structures in ancient China, and they are not a single concave and convex structure.
Lin Xiao glanced at the watch in his pocket. In just over an hour, Lao Ke helped him separate the wood and remove the blackened areas. It was quite fast.
"Axiao, what on earth are you going to do?" Lie supported his chin with both hands and looked curiously at the wooden board in front of him that was broken into several pieces. There were also four thin and long wooden sticks in it. Don't know what to do with it?
"Make a bed." Lin Xiao said.
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lao Ke looked at the wooden boards on the ground and suddenly felt guilty. Was it because he told A Xiao that the beds in the tribe were not made like this? Are those beds made from single pieces of wood?
"That's not how the beds in the tribe are made..." In the end, Lao Ke couldn't help but remind Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao nodded and said: "I know, don't worry I can do it well!"
With the help of Lao Ke and Lei, several cut wooden boards returned to Lin Xiao's room. Lin Xiao put the mortise and tenon structure together, and gently sharpened the inappropriate parts with the stone knife in his hand. After two hours of hard work until the concave and convex structure fit together, Lin Xiao was very satisfied looking at the wooden bed in front of him, which was about the same size as a steel wire bed.
"That's what those convex and convex places are used for!" As a man who handles these pieces of wood, he was surprised. He didn't expect that he could actually make a bed!
Lin Xiao shook it with his hand. The structure was very stable and did not shake.
Lei had just watched carefully how Lin Xiao made this bed in the room, and after carefully looking at the concave and convex structure, he could quickly understand the principle. Lei was quite surprised and said: "You can do a lot of things with this structure. , and you don't need complete wood, even small pieces of wood can be used to make a bed!"
"Yes, this is called a mortise and tenon structure. When we have time, we can go to the Bahrain tribe to buy some more wood, or we can get some large wood ourselves, and then make some chairs, tables, and even a cabinet to put things in!" Because there are After getting out of bed, Lin Xiao was in a good mood and immediately imagined what he needed to do next.
'Tenon and Tenon' Lao Ke muttered this weird name in a low voice and fell into deep thought. Ever since Lin Xiao rescued him, he knew that Lin Xiao must not be an ordinary person. He felt that he was responsible for this weird bed today. My own brain is even more exhausted, this Ronin is so amazing!
It was already noon, and Lin Xiao placed the food that Lei Helie had obtained from the Bahrain tribe directly on their platforms. Each of them had a piece of meat and some simple wild fruits. Generally speaking, In fact, these foods were enough for lunch, but with Lao Ke around, Lin Xiao was not so stingy, so he decided to treat Lao Ke to a meal.
Lin Xiao asked Lei to take out a piece of meat from home. After simple processing, Lei put the meat on the stone slab and smoked it. The aroma of the meat was immediately overwhelming. Lin Xiao and Lie quickly picked off the leaves, and then put the meat on the leaves. Clean it and use it to hold the roasted meat.
Lao Ke was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't move his feet after smelling the aroma. After waiting for a while, he saw Lei cut open a fruit, smeared the juice from the fruit on the meat, then grilled it, and finally added Some weird slightly yellowish stuff.
"What is this?" Lao Ke couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It's salt," Ray explained.
Lao Ke was startled for a moment, then frowned and said, "But salt is not this color!"
In his impression, the color of the salt should be yellow, green, and there are some black pebbles in it, which is far different from the salt in Lei's hand.
Lei Dan smiled and said nothing, without explaining too much, "You will know when you eat it!"
Put the roasted meat on the leaves. There was still a lot of oil on the stone plate. Lei didn't waste the oil from the meat. He put some vegetable leaves on it like stir-fry, and used the 'chopsticks' made by Lin Xiao to turn it over. , after a while the dishes were already soft, and then he put some dishes on each piece of food, and then he asked Lin Xiao to eat.
They no longer eat with their hands and basically use chopsticks, although they are not very comfortable in using them.
Lie takes a long time to pick up the meat every time, because every time this little guy eats, he will secretly use his hands when Lin Xiao is not paying attention. Unfortunately, Lin Xiao's eyes are always staring at him. As long as he grabs the meat with his hands, Lin Xiao's chopsticks hit him on the head with a loud whistling sound. Lie had no choice but to use the chopsticks obediently, extending the eating time indefinitely.
Lao Ke was really puzzled when he saw the two sticks in front of him. Lao Ke was a guest, so Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't ask Lao Ke to use chopsticks, so Lin Xiao said to him: "Wash your hands."
"Hehe!" Lao Ke laughed honestly, then quickly washed his hands with water, and then silently grabbed the meat with his hands. As soon as he put the meat into his mouth, he felt that the meat was the same as the meat roasted at his own home. The taste is completely different, very fragrant and delicious, and it does have the taste of salt, but the salt is not bitter or astringent, it just has that light salty taste, which makes him want to swallow it with his tongue. This is what makes a human being food!
Lao Ke ate most of the meat in threes and threes, leaving a quarter uneaten. He licked his mouth full of aftertaste.
Lei looked at him strangely and asked, "Uncle Ke, isn't the meat I grilled to your liking?"
Lao Ke scratched his head and explained sheepishly: "No, it's very delicious. I want to save some for the women at home. It's delicious. It's really delicious!"
Seeing that Lao Ke was in a hurry to go back, Lin Xiao did not leave him alone. Lao Ke took the meat and went straight to his home. When he went back, he happened to meet Wu Zhu who was casually patrolling. Lao Ke respectfully called Wu Zhu.
Bahrain Wu Zhu, a middle-aged man, nodded slightly, as if he had heard Lao Ke's words. His nose smelled the scent of meat in the air.
Noticing that Balin Wu Zhu was looking at the barbecue in his hand, Lao Ke could only say: "This is brought back to my woman..."
Balin Wu Zhu waved his hand and asked Lao Ke to go back. Although he really wanted to eat, he couldn't resist this old face.
Wu Zhu asked for food from the tribal warriors. If others found out, where would he put his face? And one look at the barbecue in the hands of this guy Lao Ke, and he knew that he got it from the three ronin guys. He could definitely find an excuse to meet that ronin boy at noon.
