It takes a few days for the scorpion grass to dry from steaming to drying. There is no way to do this, you have to wait.

The weaving of Ruo Li does not have this restriction, but it is extremely labor-intensive.

Fortunately, he only needs to demonstrate and guide the first few practices of the tribe, and he can let go of the rest.

The rough weaving method of the two layers of Ruo Li is the same. After weaving, the first layer is used as the base, and the bamboo leaves are spread on top of it one by one, and then a large round piece is cut and buckled on the top of the hat.

Because there is no good adhesive, Mufeng has no way to completely erase the gaps between the bamboo leaves, so he can only use the stupid method of laying an extra layer of bamboo leaves.

Fortunately, the black leather cover is big and soft. After the two layers are firmly pasted, the outer rough blank is fastened and water is poured over it. The water curtain can really be separated so that the brim of the hat will not be wetted.

Many people followed suit, including the few "carpenters" in the clan, and some women who usually did not participate in the clan's decision-making.

These people seldom saw Mu Feng making things with their own eyes, and this was the first time they saw him making a bamboo hat, and they were all surprised and puzzled far more than shocked.

It's no wonder, because they still don't know what this bamboo hat is used for, and why the big chief poured water on it.

Seeing the expressions of these people, Mu Feng shook his head and smiled wryly, and thought to himself: "They are even more stupid than Ming Guang and Li Hu. These people are all so big, and there are few people who are as smart as Bai Ya!"

But he immediately realized that anyone with a smarter mind would have already shown their prominence in the small crowd like the tribe.

"IQ" like Ming Guang and Li Hu, one became a hunter and the other became a leader.

Han Shu in the hunting team is quite brilliant and smart, and he has already been appointed as the future new headhunter of the tribe.

Like the Ke Changning he had met before, his intelligence was obviously much higher than that of the people around him, and he was already the "Yamaduo" of their tribe, the great chief after the Blue Bird Division.

Thinking of this, Mu Feng came to his senses, knowing that this kind of thing is not something to worry about, so he had to explain seriously: "This thing is called a hat, and it is worn on the head. It can prevent it from being rained, and it can also be worn on the head when it is natural. Keep out of the sun, don't be too hot!"

Only then did the group of old people and women realize that this thing called "Ruo Li" actually has this purpose.

They were pleasantly surprised and shocked, and looked at the Ruo Li that was still weaving in their hands with joy.

"It turns out that this thing can prevent the rain!"

"Does that mean that if you wear it on your head, you won't get sick from gonorrhea?"

"But it can only cover the head, can we make something like this on the body?"

...

Listening to everyone's discussion, Mu Feng said with a smile: "There must be something for defense on the body, but it's not called a straw hat, it's called a coir raincoat! And the thing that makes the coir raincoat is not bamboo, but coir grass. The coir grass is still being processed now. It won’t be available until a few days later! Make up the Ruo Li first, and make as many as you can!”

"yes!"

After teaching these people how to weave Ruo Li, Mu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sneak in?

How can it!

The whole tribe is busy now, so he has no time to spare.

He thought about it, compared to the rainy day Li Hu said, it should be almost the same.

"It seems that the tribe has to complete the collective relocation in these two days!" Mu Feng thought, and went to see the situation of the tulou.

The inside and outside of the earth building has been thoroughly cleaned, and there is a smell of mud from the inside to the outside.

Because they are all the most original and environmentally friendly materials, there is no such thing as letting the formaldehyde out in the air in the previous life.

The four earth buildings are all three-story walls and two-story buildings. The clansmen all live on the first floor, and the second floor is used for placing bacon and protection at critical times.
The innermost wall is pasted with stones and mud mixed with bamboo chips, and the ground is a cement floor mixed with plant ash. Although it is not as smooth and slippery as the ground I have seen in my previous life, it is also smoother than the cave I live in now. too much.

He took a closer look in several earthen buildings and made sure that there were no potential safety hazards inside and outside the earthen buildings. Then he found Lihu and told him that the clan could "relocate".

"Moving?" Li Hu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately became pleasantly surprised, "Everyone?"

"Well, the four earthen buildings are moved in at the same time, and there are enough rooms!"

Li Hu was completely excited: "Does it mean that we don't have to move out if we move to the earthen building?"

"That's for sure!" Mu Feng laughed, "Otherwise, why would we spend so much effort building earthen buildings?"

"Yes!" Li Hu said excitedly, "I'll make arrangements right away. Then, when would it be better to move in, Great Chief?"

"Tomorrow!" Mu Feng laughed.

"Tomorrow?" Li Hu frowned in doubt, "Don't you need to ask God?"

"Please ask the gods?" Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Li Hu said should be the trick done by the wizards in the tribe, please resign from divination.

Divination, resignation and sacrifice are very solemn and sacred events in primitive society.

Different things require different sacrificial offerings, and according to the region and level, the offerings are divided into large and small ones.

These ceremonies are presided over by the great wizard or high priest in the tribe, and they are held according to specific ceremonies.

There are recitatives, divination, practice, and even some "dances" where the great wizards of the tribe strip off their clothes and perform sacrifices.

To put it bluntly, when encountering such a major event as relocation, it depends on the date.

As for who decides the day, this has to be asked of God.

The key is that Mu Feng hasn't systematically learned how to "ask the gods to ask" until now, and he doesn't know how to do it.

What made Mu Feng feel the most ashamed was that in a tribe like Jiang's, he was responsible for all the great chiefs, great wizards, and high priests!

Whether it's pretending to pray and chant words or really going up to "dance", he, the great chief, has to go up!

"How can this kind of thing be done in public..." Mu Feng felt creepy when he thought about it, and shook his head quickly.

And there is something else in his heart, that is, he still has a skeptical attitude towards the current world.

First of all, this world has totems, Zhu Youshu, and many things in the Chinese world in the previous life, but there are also many things that China did not have at the same time.

"There is no sign that there is a god, but the Zhu Youshu that has been passed down for many years is real..."

He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he doesn't deny the existence of some inexplicable things.

If he accidentally invited some "god" to get on his body, and he couldn't send him away, wouldn't he have to include himself in it?

"Isn't it just a move, what date do you choose!" Mu Feng murmured in his heart.

But he didn't show it on his face, but he was serious, and said with an unfathomable image: "Last night I watched the sky at night, and I used the secret method to predict that tomorrow will be a good day!"

"Yes!" Li Hu said excitedly, "I'll let the clansmen prepare!"

In fact, he didn't understand a single word about "observing the sky at night" or "secret inscriptions" that the great chief said, but he understood the last sentence "tomorrow will be a good day"!

At the same time, Li Hu's admiration for Mu Feng has grown infinitely higher: "The great chief seems to be more powerful than the old chief, and he has already asked God before holding a ceremony!"

On the contrary, Mu Feng was obviously taken aback when he saw Li Hu's quick promise, and then he couldn't help laughing, and muttered to himself: "It seems that as long as I am willing, every day is a good day!"
