This Is My Primitive Tribe
Chapter 74: bamboo raft
On February 15, it rained heavily.
"Boom..."
"Crash..."
The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashes and thunder, and the pouring rain kept falling.
"Quack quack quack..."
In the reeds next to the Feiyu River, some colorful ducks pecking at the insects that climbed out of the ground because of the heavy rain, as well as some shrimps and crabs that climbed to the shore, flapped their wings and shouted a few times when they were happy.
Their thick feathers can effectively isolate the rain, and there are reeds on the top of their heads, so they are not afraid of rain.
The Teng tribe also raised a few colorful ducks, but they were locked in the cave and could only watch the rain and sigh.
"Quack... quack... quack..."
In the pond of the Vine tribe, a few frogs croaked from time to time, which was the hibernating frog came out and began to forage and court.
Of course, along with the warm spring comes the pesky mosquitoes.
"Snapped!"
Jiang Xuan sat in the bamboo hut and slapped a mosquito that was about to **** blood on his leg with an accurate slap.
Jiang Xuan said helplessly: "The mosquitoes have come out, it's time to burn some stinky grass to repel the mosquitoes."
Chi Shao said: "When the rain stops, I will find some stinky grass and come back, dry it and burn it."
After a while, Chi Shao found that Jiang Xuan was roasting some bamboo on the fire, so she asked curiously, "Xuan, are you making a new bamboo bed?"
"No, I'm going to make a bamboo raft."
"Bamboo rafts? What are they used for?"
Chi Shao had never heard the word, but she was used to it because Jiang Xuan often came up with new things.
Jiang Xuan replied while tying the bamboo, "Bamboo can float on the water, tie them together to make a bamboo raft, the buoyancy will be stronger, and it can carry us into the water to fish."
Jiang Xuan's words attracted the attention of everyone in the bamboo house.
Nan Xing put down the half-grinded spear in his hand, leaned over to Jiang Xuan, and asked, "Boss, can this bamboo raft take us to the river?"
"Of course, if we do it well, we can even ride the bamboo raft to the other side of the river. Don't you want to see what's on the other side of the river?"
Uncaria on the side stared at the bamboo in Jiang Xuan's hand for a long time, and asked a question: "Boss, what if it floats along the water? It's like wood in the water."
"That's a good question."
Jiang Xuan picked up a relatively small bamboo pole and said, "This bamboo pole, called a boat pole, can be used to control the direction of the bamboo raft in the water."
Uncaria felt incredible and developed a strong interest in bamboo rafts.
"Boss, after it's done, can you let me try it?"
Nan Xing shouted: "I want to try too."
Shi Loach is relatively calm, but after all, the young man's heart is obviously eager to try.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, when I'm done, everyone can try it."
"Boss, let me help you." Nan Xing volunteered.
Uncaria and Shiloh also came to help, only Chishao was relatively calm and was still pounding medicine.
As a witch of the tribe, Chishao needs to prepare various medicines for the warriors of the tribe in advance, so that they can carry them with them when they go out hunting, and they can apply medicines in time when they are injured.
After gaining witch power and learning witch medicine from the old witch, Chi Shao's temperament became more and more calm, and she was working hard to be a witch.
Jiang Xuan continued to make bamboo rafts with the help of three teenagers.
He chose sixteen old bamboos with thick bowls, burned them into similar lengths with fire, and tied them together with strong bark ropes.
The reason why the old bamboo is chosen is that the old bamboo is stronger and tougher, and it is not easy to crack and enter the water after it is made into a bamboo raft.
In the end, Jiang Xuan obtained a bamboo raft that was about five meters long and one and a half meters wide.
For insurance, he used two layers of bamboo, so that the buoyancy is greater, and people standing on it are not easy to get wet with water.
Because the bamboo rafts are very large, except for the process of burning the bamboo, other work is done outside after the rain stops.
After making the bamboo rafts, Jiang Xuan and Uncaria carried the brand-new bamboo rafts to the side of a relatively wide stream to try.
Chishao, Shiloach, and Nanxing also followed, as well as some clansmen from the Teng tribe, all came to see the strangeness.
"Into the water!"
After Jiang Xuan lifted the bamboo raft to the water's edge, he put the front end into the water, and Uncaria pushed the rear end, pushing the whole bamboo raft into the water.
"Okay, come on up!"
Jiang Xuan followed the end of the bamboo raft and put it on the bamboo raft, and then supported the bamboo raft with a bamboo pole to prevent it from drifting away with the stream for the time being.
"coming!"
Uncaria rubbed his hands excitedly, then followed Jiang Xuan onto the bamboo raft.
However, when he stood up, because of the uneven force, the bamboo raft swayed in the water, causing Uncaria to squat down in a hurry.
"Chief... Chief, we won't turn over into the water, will we?"
Jiang Xuan said angrily: "With me here, what are you afraid of? Besides, it's not in the river, so you won't drown."
"Then... that leader, you can be steady."
Uncaria moved to Jiang Xuan's side, still feeling very nervous and with a sense of anticipation.
Shi Loh shouted from the side: "Uncaria, if you are afraid, come down, I will go up."
Uncle Teng was agitated by these words, and stood up bravely, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who is afraid? I'm just getting used to it first."
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Then stand still, let's go!"
Jiang Xuan gently propped up the shore with a bamboo pole, and the sloping bamboo raft was immediately straightened, and then slowly drifted forward along the stream.
Although they knew that the stream was not deep, the tribesmen had never been in the water, let alone a boat.
The swaying bamboo raft ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Uncaria insisted on standing for a while, and finally sat down, feeling a little unable to hang on his face.
While supporting the bamboo raft, Jiang Xuan comforted him: "Everything has a process of adaptation. There is nothing to be ashamed of. When you get used to the swing of the bamboo raft, you will naturally no longer be afraid."
Uncaria nodded and looked at Jiang Xuan gratefully.
When the bamboo raft floated along the creek and approached the river, Jiang Xuan immediately propped it up to the shore and did not let it continue to drift forward.
Because the water of the creek is not deep, the plants on the shore have also been cleaned up, and there is no danger.
But the river is different. There are many dangers hidden in the river, as well as terrifying big fish and water beasts. It is too dangerous for a small bamboo raft to enter it.
"Okay, take the bamboo raft back and let others try it too."
Jiang Xuan and Uncaria together pulled the bamboo raft to the shore, and then the two carried the bamboo raft back to where Chi Shao and others were.
"Who's next?"
