Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe

In fact, Sang Yu has nothing to do with this little girl's temper. But she knew that she couldn't just let her go away angrily.

She is tall and has long legs, and when she hugs her, she hugs Yu, who is a head and a half shorter, in her arms.

Children are always possessive, just coax them.

If she was really her own sister, she would definitely treat her well without any scruples or reservations.

And her unhesitating embrace did make Yu's choked throat finally take in a breath, and his throat also slowly relaxed.

She stood firmly in place, feeling the breath and temperature of Sang Yu as if coming from all directions, the unique fragrance and warm embrace wrapped her tightly.

She didn't know why she was so angry.

It was nothing but a bowl of sugar water.

But I couldn't stop being angry.

Seeing the two of them with smiles on their faces and talking happily, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart.

It turned out that she was not only so kind to herself. Even in front of others, you can show that smile.

But when the other party's slender arms circled the whole body, Yu realized that the dull heart seemed to be caressed by a feather again at this time, and the frizz on it was stroked away, and it became relaxed little by little. stand up.

At this time, a familiar voice came from above.

A little soft, with a little bit of flattery.

"Don't be angry, okay?"

Yu lowered his head, brows still frowning together.

But as the arms around her waist tightened, she blinked her eyelashes slightly, and hummed inaudibly.

With a slight smile on the head, the originally dignified atmosphere between the two gradually eased.

Sang Yu stretched out her hand and turned the person around, looked at the other person's little head that was still hanging down, stretched out her hand to gently pinch her chin, and lifted it up until she saw her eyes.

Only then did he explain softly.

"To Qing, that's polite, to you, it's not polite."

Yu looked at her a little blankly.

At this time, Sang Yu turned into a Chinese teacher, and explained word by word: "Being polite is humility and politeness in front of outsiders, but to you, you are one of your own, so you don't need to be polite."

Yu bit his lip, and understood something.

Until Sang Yu reached out and touched her head, and asked, "Will you go back to drink sugar water with me now?"

"This was originally made for you, don't change my mind just because someone drank a bowl."

Seen through by her all-seeing eyes, Yu lowered his head a little ashamedly, and then nodded.

Sang Yu took her hand and walked towards the bamboo shed.

Back at the bamboo hut, as if nothing had happened just now, Sang Yu poured the remaining half bowl of sugar water from the pottery pot into a bowl, and gave it to the little girl who was sitting obediently on the stone bench at this time.

Feather bit his lip and reached out to take it.

He brought it to his mouth and took a sip. Feeling the sweet taste in his mouth, the expressionless face became more colorful.

Seeing her small appearance, Sang Yu couldn't help feeling fondly in her heart.

It's just that the little guy is in the period of growth and development, his body changes every day, and his clothes have to find a way to keep up. Also, according to the current diet of the tribe, after the 14th, she will have her period.

Looking at her sitting posture, Sang Yu couldn't help reaching out and patting her on the back lightly.

"Sit down, don't lie down, how do you stand in a military posture during the day, get used to it."

Yu immediately straightened his back when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Sang Yu curled her lips, expressing her satisfaction.

But I was thinking about making clothes in my mind.

In the absence of cotton and linen, silk is the only thing that can be used to make clothes.

Silkworms are divided into three types, spring silkworms, autumn silkworms and winter silkworms, which cocoon around April, July and October respectively.

The silkworm will break out of the cocoon about 12 to 15 days after it forms the cocoon, and then lay eggs first, and then die after another week.

The remaining silkworm eggs will continue to cocoon in the spring of the second year.

It is already August, and the silkworms have made cocoons twice, but Sang Yu has been busy, and has not yet carefully studied how to treat these cocoons so that they can really become silk for clothes.

Now that there are more people working, she is finally free to start researching silk.

In order to welcome the people brought back from the Eagle Tribe, a new bamboo house was built in a unified way. The 30 people who were with Sangyu also lived in their own areas according to the division.

So no one lived in these old bamboo houses except for Sangyu, who can transform this area into a working area.

Including dealing with silkworm cocoons, as well as crafting weapons and stone tools by the manual team, you can work here.

The two times when the silkworm cocoons were put away, the sparrow followed Sang Yu's instructions and boiled the silkworm cocoons in boiling water to kill the silkworm chrysalis inside, lest the silkworm chrysalis break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, leaving only the useless broken chrysalis.

Find threads from boiled silkworm cocoons, use rattan baskets instead of silk reels, and wind them round and round on the rattan baskets. These are silk.

Sang Yu took the sparrow to the place where the silkworm eggs were found. Sure enough, many silkworm eggs continued to cocoon in the original place after hatching, and more than a thousand silkworm cocoons were received.

Silkworms are also very capable of reproduction. With the careful care of the sparrows, there are more than 2,000 silkworm cocoons in the second time. Including those collected from outside, after processing, only two catties of cooked silk were actually received.

With just so little silk, it is difficult for everyone to wear silk clothes.

But a good knife should be used wisely. Before cotton and linen are discovered, women's menstrual problems must be further solved.

It is not only unhygienic and inconvenient to ignore it now, but also prone to infection.

This should have been done before Sang Yu came. But because there are no raw materials, it has been delayed until now.

Now that there is silk, this matter must be put on the agenda.

Sang Yu thought hard, experimented many times, and finally made a simple loom for her.

How simple is this simple loom? It probably consists of two horizontal bars, a "zi" and a beating knife.

The principle of weaving is actually the intersection of lines horizontally and vertically, that is, the warp and weft inside the silk thread.

When weaving, Sangyu wrapped one end of the warp thread around her waist, tied the other end to a pillar, and tied the weft thread to the shuttle.

The shuttle is a tool for pulling the weft thread, and its shape is like a date stone.

When weaving, the waist and bamboo fix the warp thread, and the hands hold the weft thread pulled by the shuttle, and shuttle it back and forth. This is the simplest process of weaving.

After making this simple loom, Sang Yu called dozens of thinner people from the construction team and asked them to weave in turn.

Try to see who is more handy when operating, in order to select suitable talents to be Weaver Girl.

They also called people from the handicraft team over to observe, the purpose is to let the future craftsmen of the handicraft team see if there is a way to make a loom that can replace the current operation mode that uses the human waist as a part of the machine.

After all, it was too costly.

Sang Yu remembers that the looms of later generations only need to be stepped on and manually, and the efficiency is still very fast.

Anyway, let's arrange the task first.

When there is a need, there will naturally be a solution.

After receiving the order, the handicraft team immediately started to build a more convenient and efficient multi-functional loom on the simple loom originally made by Sangyu.

In terms of weaving, after taking turns, two people who seemed to be doing better were finally selected, a man and a woman.

Sang Yu then handed over the matter of weaving to the two of them.

He also taught them how to thread needles, how to sew and so on.

Soon, within three or four days, the tribe's first batch of silk was spun.

Sang Yu started preparing the menstrual belt non-stop.

For her, this matter is urgent, and basically more than 95% of the women in the tribe need to use this thing every month.

This should be done sooner rather than later.

It's a pity that there is too little fabric this time, and every inch must be calculated clearly so that it cannot be wasted.

Calculated on the basis of silk with a thickness of 40 grams per square meter, one catty of cooked silk can weave about 13 square meters of silk.

A menstrual belt has a length of 30 and a width of 8, removes the double fabric of the interlayer and other corners and thread ends, and is tied around the waist as a fixed rope. A pound of cooked silk can make about 200 menstrual belts .

As a result, the tribe's first batch of silk was eventually made into women's products.

Except for a few children in the tribe, every female friend is assigned two menstrual belts.

Sang Yu herself is no exception.

She first explained to Xiang in detail how to use the menstrual belt and how to put the ash into it. After about half a day (three or four hours), the ash inside was fully absorbed and it was time to replace it.

After Xiang understood, she held a tribal women's conference to popularize the use of the menstrual belt.

In the tribe, except for little girls like Yu, Bai, Hong and Rice, and every time they come, the women are really helpless.

They can only find a way to use some dry objects with strong adsorption, including feathers and animal skins, to wipe and absorb menstrual blood. But it doesn't work at all, the flow will still flow, and it is very inconvenient to do things.

When they got this thing, all of them thought they were liberated in some way.

There is no need to cover up those few days of each month.

This thing produced by the leader can effectively help them solve this trouble.

Everyone looked at Sang Yu, both happy and shy.

Some people used this amazing thing that night and woke up full of praise the next morning.

Sang Yu was also happy to see her, but unfortunately, there was only so much silk harvested in the first batch, and next year, no matter what, the scale of silkworm breeding would be expanded.

At the same time, it is necessary to arrange people to go out to find ramie and cotton, so that everyone in the tribe can wear underwear as soon as possible, and everyone has enough clothes to change and clean.

The number of silkworms in the tribe is still very small. When they want to further expand the scale of sericulture, it is imperative to build mulberry gardens.

Mulberry tree is an arbor plant with strong drought resistance. But it can’t be too dry, and it doesn’t work without water. Sangyu doesn’t want to plant it in the riverside plain, where it needs to continue to build good land. In the future, the development of the tribe and the construction of new residential areas will occupy a certain amount of land. The mulberry garden will not Arranged to join in the fun there.

The east is the direction of the waterfall. Although the waterfall is still far away, it is not a good position after all.

The final site selection is the transition from the plain to the mountain within the western wall. In the area of ​​the mountain, a large area is surrounded for planting mulberry trees, and a few small sheds are built on the side to collect cocoons and rest here.

Go ahead and do it. After the third team of Gao's construction finished repairing all the houses, they were assigned to build a mulberry garden.

First, a few small bamboo houses were built in the mulberry garden, and then fences were built around it.

The fence is only for warning and dividing, indicating that this is a mulberry garden, and no one is allowed to enter at will. If a flock of sheep accidentally ran out, they couldn't put them in and eat mulberry leaves at will.

After the mulberry garden is built, the construction team and the planting team will go to the place where there are mulberry trees together, dig up the mulberry saplings, and transplant them into the mulberry garden.

The original weeds in the mulberry garden need to be cleaned up, and some people from the planting team can directly take over these matters.

Of course, Sang Yu just needs to make arrangements for these things. She will start at the beginning, and others will have to delve into it.

Otherwise, there would always be no details, and she herself would be exhausted to death.

For the aborigines in the primitive society, every new thing is new and great.

It can solve a lot of troubles for them. But without the experience of their predecessors, they couldn't accept too many things at once.

For example, modern people, at least those who have attended compulsory education, know the basic knowledge of energy conservation, the attraction of the earth, and the basic knowledge of getting sick if you don't pay attention to hygiene.

So it is easy to understand what is derived from this basic knowledge.

But the primitive people didn't know that no matter how detailed Sang Yu's explanation was, it would take them a long time to digest it.

At least the weaving principle in front of them can make them ponder for a long time.

Sang Yu knows these principles, and doesn't want to spoil the seedlings.

In the long river of human history, everyone and every little thing is a drop in the ocean. Only the accumulation of bits and pieces can promote the progress of history. Their enemies are not so powerful, so they don't need to go so fast.

After thinking about these reasons, Sang Yu also sat in her small bamboo shed drinking tea with peace of mind.

When work was over at night, someone knocked on the bamboo door.

Sang Yu turned her head and saw that standing at the door were two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls—Yu and Bai.

When he first arrived, Sang Yu had always classified Yu, Qing, Hong, and Bai into a small group of similar ages. This was the future within reach of the tribe, so he also devoted himself to cultivating them.

Today, each of them has also made a breakthrough in different fields.

For example, Yu is particularly prominent in combat.

Many people in the tribe think she is the king of bow and arrow, but they don't know that Yu's melee ability is not inferior to others.

Of course, Sang Yu had been taught before, on the first day she came here, in that big pit.

In close combat, brute force is not the only way to defeat the enemy.

As for Hong, she has been helping in the handicraft team all the time, and she is quite handy in making bows and arrows. Even the production of the textile machine this time, Jiao will take her to study together.

As for the little girl Bai, she didn't look very prominent in the past. But after arranging a few tasks, Sang Yu found that this little shaker was very stable, courageous and resourceful, and he had a certain degree of flexibility in management.

As for Qing, it may still be more prominent in the domestication of animals.

As the name suggests, the white man in front of him is also the one with fairer skin among these few people.

She came with Yu, holding something mysterious in her arms.

But there was a touch of shyness on his face, and his little face was flushed red by the sun.

Sang Yu saw them coming and beckoned them to sit down.

Although the bamboo shed is small, it can still accommodate a few stone chairs.

But Bai shook his head and refused, with a rather coy look.

Sang Yu soon found out that the little girl was probably on her period, so she was embarrassed to sit down.

She couldn't help but glanced at Miaoyu, it was nothing, someone else was almost there.

Ke Yu turned his face away and didn't meet her eyes at all.

Sang Yu looked back with some regret.

In front of his eyes, Bai couldn't suppress the joy on his face, and carefully hugged the little thing in his arms.

It turned out to be a meaty dog.

Sang Yu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Where did you find this?"

Bai handed the dog of no discernible breed to Sang Yu, revealing two cute little canine teeth.

"I picked it up when I was carrying salt. I slept with me for two nights. It doesn't bite."
