I am a Primitive Man
Chapter 119 – Low wall and Wooden ladder
The happiness celebration this time can be said to have been very successful. It not only allowed the surrounding tribes to witness the prosperity of the Green Sparrow Tribe but also, in a casual manner, made them realize the strength of the Green Sparrow Tribe, showcasing its soft and hard power.
Furthermore, it opened the door to primitive trade, which will benefit the Green Sparrow Tribe in the future.
The women of the Green Sparrow Tribe are also quite competitive, leaving behind many seeds. The next step is to see whose land is good and can take root and sprout.
In this era, primitive people do not have the concept of future cuckoldry, and things that seem unacceptable to future generations are quite commonplace now.
However, this is limited to these few days. Once the celebration is over, such incidents will not be forgiven.
This is also why, after Tie Tou failed in the struggle with Hei Wa, he only listened to the uplifting tunes at night and couldn’t sleep, without taking any desperate actions.
As a newcomer, Han Cheng is deeply worried about this. His concern is that it will be difficult for him to find a wife.
Damn, this matter is quite unfortunate. In the future, there’s no money when you need money, no status when you need status, and now his status is exceptionally high. Yet, he encountered such a situation. Han Cheng couldn’t help but shed bitter tears.
The tribes that came to participate in the happiness celebration at the Green Tribe seemed extremely reluctant to leave. The wonderful life of these past few days left a profound impression on them. They didn’t expect that life could be lived in such a comfortable way.
The experiences in the Green Sparrow Tribe during these days seemed to have opened a window for them, showing them another world.
Not only ordinary people but even the leaders of several tribes were envious.
The happiness celebration has ended, but the Green Sparrow Tribe did not immediately return to normalcy.
The main reason is that the men of the Green Sparrow Tribe are too kind-hearted and eager to help others. To help increase the population of other tribes, each one is willing to use all their strength.
Deer Lord also appeared listless. He showed off his prowess, kept his harem in check, and showed these short-legged creatures what to do. It has been busy for him.
To the point that now, even his fur has dimmed. When he sees a young female deer approaching, he quickly moves to the side.
After a rest of three full days, the Green Sparrow Tribe finally regained its vitality.
A large number of people continued to work on the walls.
However, after increasing the height of the western wall, instead of raising the southern wall next, they raised the low wall behind the western wall.
Because after the wall was raised to three and a half meters, the low wall behind it seemed too short. Standing behind, one couldn’t see the outside scene at all.
To reduce the workload, Han Cheng only had people connect the original low wall and then raise it, reaching a height of about two meters and six.
According to the height of the people in the Green Sparrow Tribe, standing on the low wall with a difference of ninety centimeters, they could expose their chest and upper part.
This way, it could protect the people behind the wall from harm to the greatest extent during a counterattack, and it wouldn’t affect the ability of the Green Sparrow Tribe people to counterattack due to the wall being too high.
However, in doing so, the original low wall has become a high wall. It is impossible to climb up without the help of other tools.
Some clever people in the Green Sparrow Tribe began considering how to solve this problem.
These people include the Shaman, the Eldest Senior Brother, and Shi Tou, who has become an apprentice to the Shaman.
The wall is very high, but they can reach the top with the low wall.
Now that the low wall has become higher, can’t they just build a shorter wall next to it while leaning on the higher low wall?
With reference to the two previous walls, as long as they are willing to use their brains for the Divine Child and others, thinking of such a solution is not particularly difficult; after all, they are not very primitive people.
Just when they thought they had figured it out and were secretly pleased with themselves for guessing the next move of the Divine Child, the Divine Child’s actions surprised them.
After completing the construction of the low wall, the Divine Child did not instruct people to build a shorter wall next to it, as they had expected. Instead, he had them continue to raise the wall on the south side, where the gate was located.
The Shaman, the Eldest Senior Brother, and Stone looked at each other in confusion. After removing the frame and seeing the now unclimbable higher low wall, they were puzzled and couldn’t understand the Divine Child’s behavior.
Han Cheng certainly wouldn’t build another shorter wall next to the low wall until people could climb to the highest wall.
Doing so would require building at least three low walls, which was too labor-intensive and unnecessary.
For him, solving this problem was not difficult. All he needed to do was make some ladders.
For the Green Sparrow Tribe, which had plenty of wood, making ladders wasn’t too challenging.
Han Cheng, accompanied by Lame and Hei Wa, found some tree trunks with a diameter roughly the size of a bowl, straight and long. They burned them to cut them into roughly 2.8 meters long pieces, which were brought back to the tribe for future use.
Then, they cut some tree segments with diameters ranging from the thickness of an arm to around 1.7 meters in length. The next step was to manufacture the ladders.
Han Cheng selected two tree trunks of similar thickness and had Lame and Heiwa pick them out from the wood pile. They were placed opposite each other.
These two trunks were not parallel; the distance between them was large at one end and small at the other. The larger end was the base of the trunk, and the smaller end was the thinner part.
The bottom width reached 80 centimeters, while the top width was only 50 centimeters.
After placing the two trunks, the next step was to tie crossbars onto the two trunks.
Lame, who often did weaving work, was skilled at this. After Han Cheng demonstrated, they were quickly and securely tied every 30 centimeters.
Shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother, who had been pondering how to climb the low wall, were now paying close attention to Han Cheng’s actions because they wanted to see what the Divine Child intended to do.
At first, they were confused by Han Cheng’s decision to build a ladder. It wasn’t until the crossbars started getting tied that the Shaman showed a thoughtful expression.
When Han Cheng had people carry the finished wooden ladder and lean it against the first section of the low wall, the shaman’s eyes gleamed. At this point, he fully understood Han Cheng’s method.
As Han Cheng climbed the ladder onto the low wall, the Eldest Senior Brother and Shi Tou revealed an enlightened expression.
Standing below the wall, they looked up at the Divine Child standing on the low wall and the thing leaning against it that they didn’t know what to call. Once again, they were deeply impressed by the Divine Child’s wisdom.
