Chapter 2 What to do if you don't want to be green
Standing at the entrance of the cave, sniffing the smell of soil in the air, recalling my previous life, and confirming one thing: the four seasons here are distinct, which is a good phenomenon.
The disappearing voice in my mind tells myself that the geographical environment and distribution of animals and plants have changed, so first of all, you must determine the approximate latitude of your life.
Not to mention anything else, if it is in the tropical region, you can basically die early and be reborn early.
There are too many various epidemics in the tropical region, which is a fatal blow to the primitive tribes.
In regions with distinct seasons, tropical diseases are not prone to occur. Moreover, because of the existence of winter, bacteria can be placed on the winter vacation. Humid layers can be accumulated on the ground, and it is impossible for the tropical areas to accumulate humus layers. Fixed agriculture can only be a fantasy.
"This is probably equivalent to the Central Plains of the primitive era? It's just that the terrain of the mainland has changed, and I don't know where I am... In short, let the tribe develop first, and you may have an intuitive impression of geography and hydrology in a few hundred years. And you must let the tribe develop before you die, otherwise you will know what identity you will be reincarnated in the next life. If you don't have enough points, you will become a slave who is buried alive..."
I couldn't help but shivered. First of all, I had to make the bow and arrow. Only with enough food can I be qualified to expand the tribe. Only when I have enough food can I let the people in the tribe think about philosophy, religion, inventions, words and other things.
Survival is always the first requirement.
He didn't dare to leave the cave too far, so he found an elm tree with a wrist thickness near the cave, which was very straight.
If you want to make bows and arrows, the best tree is yew. It is said that the wood core of yew and the fiber elasticity of the outer ring is different. It is a natural composite material, but now there is not much attention.
Elm, mulberry, etc. are also fine. The simplest integrated longbow can be made with the most primitive tools.
“It’s it.”
Picking up a stone from the ground and hitting the root of the tree hard. My strength was much greater than in my previous life, and my fingers were flexible, so I quickly cut out a gap.
The tree fell to the ground, and the part nearly one person tall was seized, and the bark was peeled off with a stone knife, and some soft tree bark were prepared.
After preparing these materials, it was already dark.
Someone in the cave roared his name loudly, and Chen Jian quickly responded with a voice and dragged the trees back to the cave.
After confirming that everyone had returned, my grandmother called all the adults in the tribe together.
This is the first time Chen Jian has participated in such a tribal democracy conference because he has just become an adult and has his own say in tribal affairs.
"It's time for the fruit to bloom soon. A few more women have grown up and a few children no longer need to breastfeed. It's time to find another tribe. This way, when the child is born, it's time for the snow to melt."
My grandmother used years of experience to express her opinions, which is an opportunity and method for the tribe to grow.
Children in tribes usually choose to be born when the snow melts. Maybe the grandmother doesn’t know the reason, but just based on experience.
Chen Jian speculated that it may be because the childbirth was produced in late winter and early spring, and there were fewer bacteria, which could reduce the mortality rate of babies.
This is the role of the grandmother, the wisdom passed down from hundreds of years.
At this time, people don’t know why, but long-term struggle with nature has made people know what it is.
Men and women have to go to this event. Although women can bring new population to the tribe, men also need to leave seeds for other tribes in exchange.
There was no other opinion at the meeting. My grandmother told everyone to prepare as much food as possible these days because other tribes are far away from here.
Chen Jian looked at the cousins around him, they were all dirty, and thought that the women from other tribes were similar.
I have become absent from animal nature, and it is still difficult to accept the mating for the sake of reproduction. Besides, even if I accept it, the girl I am looking for will not be able to come to the tribe with me. In a few years, my head will definitely be green!
Before the development of productivity reaches a certain stage, this marriage custom can ensure that close relatives will not get married because children need to breastfeed, and the father obviously does not have this function, and the child can only follow the mother and may be closer to his uncle.
Now it is a matriarchal society, not a matriarchal society. Women and men have the same right to discuss matters.
Women and men are like taxes and fines in this era.
Taxes are stable and may not be much, but collecting wild fruits, seeds, bird eggs, rhizomes and other things can at least ensure the survival of the tribe.
Fines are unstable, sometimes the number may be astonishing, sometimes there is no hair. Hunting is too dependent on luck before the bow and arrow appears, and it is in danger.
If you don’t have the ability to support your family independently, you want to establish a patriarchal society, which is purely a dream.
With the development of society, when men can cultivate the land alone, women will become vassals of men. After that, women want to gain the same right to speak as they are now, they are afraid they will have to wait a long time.
When women can make money in labor-intensive industries such as textile factories, and when men are caught and filled in trenches, they are broken and torn by machine guns, it is the time when women become human again.
Women have experienced the transition from humans to mateable objects and then to humans. This change was exchanged for the blood and sweat of the stuffy factory after a thousand years, rather than human conscience and compassion.
Everything in the world is broken and broken and opened. In fact, it is all naked interests, but it is always in a sad cycle.
In this era, I want to take my girls out and live alone and own private property? Yes, take your little stone axe and live alone. As for how long you can live, it depends on your luck. Even if you survive, what should I do if you have a child? Can you rely on the stone axe alone to ensure the survival of your wife and breastfeeding children? When you are sick, can your wife take care of the children alone and hunt and support you? If not, then you can only squat in the tribe and abide by the rules of the times.
If you want to not wear green, you have to develop productivity.
As for girls who don’t have fragrant smells, that’s not a problem. They can be cultivated by loli. If there is no girl who makes them by themselves, it’s not an orangutan with black hair all over them, but someone whose body hair has deteriorated.
After thinking through all this, the idea is clear.
When everyone else fell asleep, he and his cousin were vigilant with his "Wolf Skin".
Wolf skin is the son of his aunt. There are only a few words in the tribe. If you want to name people, you can only use these strange names.
After adding a lot of wood to the bonfire, Chen Jian broke the piece of elm with a stone knife to reveal the tough wood core inside and try to scrape it flat.
Langskin looked at Chen Jian strangely, not knowing what he was doing.
"I'll go to bed first. When you walk to the entrance of the cave, you'll get up."
Wolf skin pointed to a very bright star in the distance. Chen Jian couldn't recognize what kind of star it was, at least he had no impression in his memory in his previous life.
Soon, the wolf skin snored loudly by the bonfire.
Chen Jian used stones to polish the trunk of this tree, which was not perfect, but it had already taken a little bit of prototype.
A gap was cut with a stone knife on both sides of the wood, rubbed a piece of bark fiber as a bow string, used the right knee as a lever fulcrum, clamped the bow between the legs, hooked the ankle on the left foot and the bow body, bent it into the shape of a crescent moon, and hung the bow string.
The skins of several slender branches were peeled off, and a few decorative cocktail feathers were found in the cave, tied to one end with wooden fibers, and used as tail feathers of arrows.
The other end is burned in the fire for a while, and after carbonization, it is easy to rub the pointed tips on the ground.
I tried to pull the simple bow, which was very heavy and elastic, and it would lose its elasticity or break if it was not used for a long time.
If you want to use it for a long time, you must trap the bow, maintain different curvatures for a long time, and soak it in oil.
But if it's just a matter of douche, it should last a few days. Now it's a beggar, so don't think the rice is bad.
Outside the cave, the cry of owls came from time to time, but probably because of this bonfire, no ferocious beast dared to approach.
I put away the simple longbow and added some firewood to the fire. Finally, I waited until the stars rose to the entrance of the cave, woke up the wolf skin, and fell asleep next to the fire.
