Chapter 122 The Magical Head
Han Cheng scratched his head, mother, it's just a trick, and it's going to be so twists and turns?
This day is impossible!
He got the charcoal out of the hole that had become much deeper and larger, and extinguished the burning coal on the wall of the hole, and then thought about the solution.
That is, how to ensure that when the mortise is widened with charcoal to the depth, the place that has been burned above will not be burned by the flame again.
watering?
Fire and water are incompatible, and the first thing Han Cheng thinks of is water.
He filled half a bowl of water with a bowl used by those tribes during the happy meeting before, dipped his hands in the water to moisten the burnt part of the upper part of the mortise, and picked it up from the fire beside him. Put a piece of charcoal in the mole, and then blow the air.
The moment the charcoal was put into the socket, there was a sound of 'chichi', accompanied by white smoke transpiration. This was because Han Cheng accidentally sprinkled the water below when he was making water.
After experimenting like this for a while, Han Cheng had to give up this method.
Not only is it easy to wet the lower part of the mortise when getting water, but another important reason is that after the charcoal burns for a while, the water in the upper part of the mortise is evaporated, and then it starts to burn again.
At this time, what needs to be done is to wet the burning part of the upper part of the shank with water, but this process will not be smooth, either the hand will be burned by the coals, or the burning coals below will be extinguished due to too much water...
Wu didn't know what Shenzi was doing with such busy work, but seeing that Shenzi finally stopped, he came to ask.
Wu, who understood what Han Cheng meant, was very puzzled. He couldn't figure out why Shenzi had to spend so much effort to make another ladder when there was already a ladder.
In his opinion, the current ladder is very good. It is not only convenient to go up and down, but also easy to make.
Han Cheng had no way to explain the great significance of the socket eye to Wu, because Wu had never seen a wide variety of wooden utensils.
After thinking for a while, Han Cheng didn't come up with any solution. He stood up from the ground with a bone blowing torch, stretched his waist and looked at the vibrant tribe together with Wu.
The door of the deer pen was open, and the deer pen was empty. The proud uncle Lu led his harem and his descendants out to graze.
Now Han Cheng and Wu are no longer worried about this, because except for the first few times when Uncle Lu was forgetful and delayed the time, the rest of the days came back very punctually.
Uncle Lu, who has gone from frugal to extravagant, has completely forgotten Yanshan and other places...
Some of the rabbits in the rabbit pen are squatting at the base of the wall to bask in the sun, some are grazing, their three-petal mouths move, and they eat without showing their teeth. They look gentle, but they are very fast. Grass will be eaten as much as possible.
The breeding speed of the rabbits is really terrifying. Even though Wu personally dealt with a batch of them in late autumn and early winter last year, the size of the rabbit herd has surpassed the peak period last year.
When Wu saw this group of rabbits, he would smile all over his face. Just by looking at his expression, Han Chenggong knew that he was missing the wonderful feeling of ending the lives of rabbits with a wooden stick last fall.
The fence is still increasing, and more than half of the section on the west side of the gate has been completed.
Most of the adults in the tribe are contributing to this big project.
"Hey!"
Shang didn't connect it firmly, and the ash bag filled with mud fell off and just hit the head of Junior Brother Sha below.
Junior Brother Sha, who was covered in mud all over his face, screamed angrily.
Shang was explaining something.
Junior Brother Sha with his head covered in mud looked very funny, and Han Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud.
Junior Brother Sha and Shang realized that Son of God and Wu were looking at them, so they both stopped talking and started giggling along with 'hehe'.
Han Cheng walked over,
He signaled Junior Brother Sha to wash up.
Have!
A flash of inspiration flashed in Han Cheng's mind, he grabbed Junior Brother Sha who was about to leave, and asked him to squat down repeatedly.
Junior brother Sha was very confused by Han Cheng's actions, he didn't know what Shenzi wanted to do to him, but he still obeyed and squatted down.
Han Cheng was not polite, he picked off the mud from Junior Brother Sha's head and put it in his hands, and said to Junior Brother Sha who was so moved, "Okay, go wash it."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Junior Brother Sha to reply, he ran towards the tree trunk with the mud in his arms.
Junior Brother Sha looked puzzled at Shenzi who was happily leaving with the mud in his arms, and then stretched out his hand to touch his mud-stained head, full of doubts.
Could it be that there is something strange about him, that when mud falls on his head, he becomes a baby?
Of course Han Cheng was delighted, because he suddenly thought of a good way to solve this matter.
Han Cheng blended the lump of mud that was taken off Junior Brother Sha's head, then dug some from it, and pasted it on the upper part of the socket.
After the paste was finished, Han Cheng re-ignited the fire he wanted to extinguish, selected a piece of charcoal of a suitable size, put it in again, and then used a blower to blow air.
Wu stood aside and tilted his head, watching Shenzi's strange behavior.
A smile soon appeared on Han Cheng's face, because this method was surprisingly easy to use.
The mud blocks the direct contact between the wood and the flame, and it won't be as troublesome as water. You just need to paste the mud on it, and don't worry about the rest.
After there was no interference from various things, the progress of the burning of the eyes was not slow.
In the evening, four mortises appeared on the trunk, one every 30 centimeters.
In addition to being faster than chiseling with stone, burning the mortise with fire has another advantage, that is, the mortise is not easy to crack after being burned by the flame.
Of course, a stone chisel is also indispensable in the firing of the mortise, because it must be used to chisel out a rough shape at the place where the mortise needs to be made, and then burn it down with coals.
It took four days, and Han Cheng used this method to make eight symmetrical sockets on the two wooden pillars that would become ladders.
"Beep beep."
With the help of Lie, Han Cheng smashed wooden sticks of different lengths and thicknesses into the sockets in order from bottom to top and from long to short.
The tree stick is slightly thicker than the rivet eye, which can increase the firmness of the wooden ladder, so as not to cause the tofu dregs project that the wooden ladder will be broken if it is lifted by hand.
After nailing all eight mortise holes on one side of the pillar with wooden sticks, Han Cheng, with the help of Lie and Heiwa, rolled the other wooden pillar with mortise holes on the ground half a circle, letting it These mortises on the body were aligned with the eight wooden sticks one by one, and then let the lame with relatively strong hands hit the outside of the wooden pillar with a piece of wood suitable for hitting.
With the beating of the lame, the eight sticks entered their corresponding sockets bit by bit...
