Chapter 19: Humble gloves


   After seeing that all the ice caves have been dug out, and the work of spearing and transporting fish is proceeding in an orderly manner, Han Cheng turned around and ran into the cave without any hesitation.
   This ghost weather, it was so cold, two eggs were frozen and disappeared, and the little finches shrank and only a small head remained. It looked pitiful.
   If you don't go back to be warm, Han Cheng is really worried that there will be no more happiness in the future.
   When Han Cheng returned, the first batch of fish that he caught today had been transported back to the cave.
  Han Cheng squatted by the fire and roasted his body for a while. He only felt that his hands and feet were strangely itchy. He immediately knew what was wrong, and 80% of his hands, heels and feet were frostbitten!
  He roasted here for a while, grabbed his hands and feet for a while, warmed his body, and returned to the inner cave.
   Wu Wu has a faint smile on his face, and is holding a'stone pen' to draw something on the stone slab. According to Han Cheng's previous experience, 80% of it is that the belly of the fish can be taken from the ice in winter.
   Han Cheng quietly stood aside and watched for a while. Seeing Wushu write seriously and completely immersed in his own world, he did not bother him, but went out again lightly.
  He came to a place in the cave specially used to store fur, and began to dig through it.
  Because the tribe lives by fishing, hunting and gathering, they have accumulated a lot of fur over the years, but many of them have fallen out because of the age.
   But under normal circumstances, this kind of skin will be used to wrap the fruit, and it is good to keep it to keep out the cold.
   Han Cheng searched here for a while and found four rabbit skins that didn't shed much.
   Because rabbit skin is too small and it is too troublesome to tie it to the body to keep out the cold, rabbit skin is not very popular in the tribe.
   But these things are very useful to Han Cheng.
   He put the rabbit skin on the ground, pressed his right hand on the rabbit skin, and folded the rabbit skin with his left hand, and the warm feeling immediately spread.
   Han Cheng frowned. Compared to his hands, the rabbit skin was still too big. A piece of rabbit skin was rolled up to hold four or five hands!
  The gloves made in this way are extremely inconvenient, not to mention, they don’t keep warm.
  He came to the place where the tools were stored, and found the stone knives used to open the animals in the tribe. He took it in his hand and looked at it twice, and couldn't help but smile.
   This stone knife is okay for a powerful adult to hold a mouth on a newly dead animal. In his current state, he still has to deal with dry skin, which is really unrealistic.
   Sure enough, after he spread the leather on the ground, pressed the leather with one hand and a stone knife in the other, and pulled it back and forth for ten minutes, and the leather showed no signs of cracking, Han Cheng gave up the idea of ​​splitting the leather in two.
   Forget it, if you can't make a glove, you can be a hand warmer.
   He stepped back and comforted himself like this, then put the stone knife back where it was, and walked away with the leather.
   ready to start making a warm baby out.
  Han Cheng still didn't make a warm baby, not because of the lack of needles and threads, but because he opened the rabbit skin!
   Of course not with teeth.
   But he was already preparing to warm the baby. Suddenly he remembered how he sometimes wanted to break the rope without tools like scissors in later life.
He took the rabbit skin and came to the stone slab that was used as a door panel to stand at the entrance of the hole. He chose the sharpest edge, and then grabbed the rabbit skin with both hands, with the hairless side facing down, aligning the edge with the edge of the leather. In the middle, press down firmly, rubbing up and down.
   Friction, friction...
   This method is really good, at least it is much better than cutting dry skin with a stone knife.
  Because this can use all the energy of the whole body, and because of the fast friction speed and long distance, after heating up, it can accelerate the decomposition of the skin.
   So after about a minute of friction, the leather becomes two halves.
   The leather is ready, but the next sewing has become a big problem, because not only there are no needles in the tribe, but also no wires!
   Han Cheng had no choice but to use his brains to search for the fishbone that was spit out.
   It's a pity, these fish bones are really too fragile. It can also be said that the skin is too thick. After breaking five or six fish bones in a row without a needle eye appearing, Han Chengcheng had to give up this method.
   There is no way to use fish bone spurs, and Han Cheng can only think of another way.
   Yes, he picked up the stone again.
   put the leather on a big rock, and then took a sharp-headed stone in the other hand and smashed it down at the edge of the leather.
   Sure enough, sometimes it is necessary to be a little bit violent. After several fishbones were broken in succession, he could not take the skin of it. After encountering a stone, he soon persuaded, Han Cheng punched a small hole in five or seven times.
   After the first hole came out, he didn't stop, but continued to hold the stone to make holes in the leather, controlling the distance, and smashing one every half centimeter as much as possible. Of course, if he accidentally smashed it, there is no problem.
   Now is the time to solve the problem of food and clothing, not to pay attention to beauty.
   The percussive sound in the cave pulled Wu from the ethereal state of the record.
   He frowned, put the "stone pen" in his hand, rubbed his sore fingers and wrist, and walked out of the hole, wanting to see who was so noisy.
   After seeing that the person holding the stone and striking was Han Cheng, he showed a slightly surprised look.
Wu walked to Han Cheng's side, and after seeing Han Cheng's movements clearly, there was a puzzled look in his eyes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, he didn't understand, this good skin, why did the goddess make him better? The two small halves, and there are so many small holes in the leather.
   Isn’t the bigger the better?
  Whether the big leather is wrapped around the body to keep warm or is used to wrap fruit, it is far easier to use than the small leather. Why did the gods make it smaller?
   If it was before, Wu must think that this little guy was fooling around, but the experience of yesterday is still vivid, so that he can't feel the slightest contempt for this who looks only six or seven years old.
Han Cheng looked up and saw the witch, and also found the witch’s confusion, but he did not explain anything, because the tribal language was too simple, he wanted to explain to the witch clearly what he wanted to do and what this thing had. It takes a lot of effort to function, so it is not as convenient to make the gloves directly.
   Han Cheng finally smashed small holes in the edges of the rabbit skin on three sides, which was regarded as a needle eye.
The problem of    line is easier to solve, because there is a kind of grass nearby that is very tough and can be used as a rope.
   There are a lot of this kind of grass, and there are many in the cave. It is used as firewood and spread under the body for heating.
Under Wu's gaze, Han Cheng found a handful of this kind of relatively long grass, and after folding the leather that came out of the hole in half, he began to use this kind of grass that he called'rope grass' along the small hole that was opposite. 'Thread a needle' up.
   Han Cheng didn't use the common acupuncture method in later generations, which is not suitable for the current situation.
   Instead, use a tough rope to pass through the two double-folded holes, make two rounds back and forth, tighten it, and go through the next hole.
   About twenty minutes later, it is very likely that the first glove of this era appeared.
