Han Cheng looked at the few charcoal in the wooden basket, the ashes in the earthen kiln, and the unburnt or unburnt wood piled around him, holding his hair in anguish.
This is the eighth time he has failed to burn charcoal in an earthen kiln.
These few charcoal burnings have not been successful. Although he has been constantly adjusting the timing of burning the kiln based on his previous charcoal burning experience, he has not made much progress.
The eighth kiln was opened to burn charcoal. Compared with the second time, there was only a few extra pieces of carbon...
He took a deep breath and exhaled it long, feeling deeply the difficulty of picking apples without standing on the shoulders of giants.
With such a big world, Han Cheng is naturally not the only person who is troubled. The leader of the sheep tribe is also very troubled at this time.
Like Han Cheng, he squatted on the ground, pulling his messy hair from time to time.
in front of him is a corner of the cave.
The part that was originally connected to the rest of the cave is now separated by rough walls made of some stones, forming a relatively independent space.
The leader of the sheep tribe in sheepskin, squatting on the ground, can smell some unpleasant odors from the cracks in the stone wall.
Of course he is not bothered by the smell, in fact the smell on his body is not much better than the smell coming out.
He squatted here for a while, then stood up again.
The scene in this independent space also appeared in front of him.
The twelve sheep whose original color could not be distinguished from their bodies were so scared that the leader of the sheep tribe who stood up suddenly screamed and squeezed into a ball, shivering.
These sheep are very thin, skinny, and look like a frame of hairy bones.
The troubles of the leader of the sheep tribe come from these sheep.
Of course, at the beginning, the leader of the sheep tribe and everyone was only happy with these sheep.
Every autumn is a harvest season for the tribes living on this land, especially for the sheep tribe.
Because every fall, they can harvest enough sheep.
This will occupy a large part of their future food.
In the past, in order to prevent the captured sheep from escaping, they would choose to kill all the sheep.
After this happens, the mutton that cannot be eaten will often go bad, even if it is cold in winter, because there is a long period of time from when they arrest the sheep to the real winter.
In the past, although the people of the sheep tribe would be troubled by this matter, there was no good way to solve it.
Because the people of their tribe did just that since they remembered.
Food is precious, especially in winter. At this time, even food that has spoiled and rotten will become extremely precious, and no one is willing to discard it.
Sheep Tribe, a tribe whose mutton occupies half of the food for the winter, is even more reluctant to discard it, because if it does, many people in their tribe will starve to death!
The sheep tribe can easily obtain a large amount of meat in autumn and have enough food to survive the winter, and the tribe’s population is among the several nearby tribes, and this is the reason why it has not been considered top.
Because every year when winter is about to pass, the sheep tribe will die some people. Most of the people who die are elderly and minors.
The people of the sheep tribe will be sad for the dead, but at the same time they will be accustomed to it.
Or it can be said to be helpless.
There is a saying that has been circulated in the sheep tribe. Even the oldest person in their tribe does not know when this saying has been passed down.
said that it was too easy for the people of their tribe to get food, so the gods punished them...
The people of the sheep tribe believe this, in their opinion this is indeed punishment, because the dead will become extremely thin, even if they eat a lot of food...
The people of the sheep tribe certainly didn’t know that this was because they had eaten too much rotten food. They started to leave some of the living sheep this year, and they didn’t want to solve the problem.
They will do this. Most of them are inspired by the large herd of deer in the neighboring wealthy tribe, and a small part of them get more live sheep from the neighboring tribe leader than dead sheep. The promise of more pottery.
This discovery from the neighboring tribe made the people of the sheep tribe extremely happy, because they suddenly discovered that they had found a way to solve the problem that the mutton would deteriorate after it was put.
Dead sheep, the meat will become smelly over time, but this will not happen to living sheep.
This is a very simple truth, and they don't understand it, but they have never thought of the sheep caught by their tribe.
Every year, according to the handed down experience, all the sheep arrested are killed... Until this year's party, I saw the large herd of deer owned by the neighboring tribe...
Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He. At the beginning of raising sheep, people in the whole sheep tribe were really excited, because after they started raising sheep, they realized another advantage, that is, they waited until the cold weather passed. They can also have sheep in their tribe, and it will not be like in the past. Once the cold season is over, and if you want to eat lamb, you must wait until the next autumn...
In order to raise these sheep, they also built sheep pens based on the deer shed of the neighboring tribe.
They don't have that kind of tall courtyard, so they built the sheepfold into the living cave.
They couldn’t build a strong sheepfold with wood. After seeing that the neighboring tribe built something similar to the place where the deer lived with stones, they came back and started to build the sheepfold with stones...
All this looks very beautiful, but the distressing things become more and more serious as the weather gradually gets colder.
This distress is collecting fodder, or the death of sheep.
At the beginning, they felt that raising sheep was indeed a good idea. They just need to make grass for these sheep every day.
But after doing this for a while, it won't work~EbookFREE.me~Because their tribe raises a lot of sheep, they have to get a lot of grass to feed every day.
As the weather is cold and the forage around the tribe has been collected, the burden of collecting grass has become heavier.
These sheep do not have enough to eat or drink. They eat old yellow grass every day, so they begin to lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And over time, some sheep began to die continuously.
The dead sheep tribe will certainly not let it go, but compared with autumn, there is not much meat on them.
Raising sheep not only loses meat, but also brings suffering to people in the tribe.
In previous years, as soon as the cold winter came, they could plug the cave with stone slabs and start a long cat winter around the fire.
This year, it’s not working anymore, because they have to go out to get some grass to eat, and one by one cannot be frozen. Some people have started to develop frostbite on their hands and feet.
The distress of the leader of the sheep tribe is here.
He didn't understand a path that seemed to be very good, but after it was actually done, it looked like this.
The neighboring tribe has so many deer, how did they spend this winter?
After the leader of the sheep tribe scratched his hair again, he began to let people prepare food. He decided to go to the neighboring friendly tribe to find out.
