When the sun rises, the moisture in the forest turns into thick white mist, covering the forest in a milky white area. The morning breeze cannot blow away the fog but awakens countless birds.

Chen Jian slept all night and felt uncomfortable and was woken up by his sister named Yuqier.

Fortunately, the bonfire roasted the stones warmly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it.

In primitive society, there was no need to wash your face and hands, which saved time, but you still had to go to the toilet.

Those wolves were wandering around the toilet, and they didn't know whether their definition of food was very different from that of their ancestors.

There is no paper, and the soil cannot be accepted for a while. Fortunately, it is spring and there are leaves.

In the cave, the grandmother had distributed today's food. Each adult male received a large piece of lamb, while the women ate some tuber.

After eating, more than 20 adult men took tools such as stone axes and stone spears to hunt, and women also had to prepare for today's collection.

Everything is for survival, which is the driving force behind human conquering nature.

My cousin Langpi said that a few days ago, he saw a large group of deer by the river in the distance, and today's goal is to hunt the deer.

Before these people set out, the old grandmother sprinkled a little on everyone with the ashes from the pile of firewood, perhaps it was a primitive prayer.

The mother tied the polished beast's teeth with tree bark and hung them around Chen Jian's neck, telling him to be careful of beasts and the like.

These people are all blood-related relatives, but they are almost reaching the limit that the tribe can accommodate. If the population continues to expand and there is no new way to obtain food, the tribe will soon need to separate the population.

Chen Jian carried the simple longbow he made, carried the feather arrows and followed the group of cousins ​​and uncles to leave the cave.

The air was filled with the smell of rotten leaves, mixed with the fragrance of pine resin, which was a bit intoxicating. The woodpecker was jingling and knocking on the trees, while the cuckoo was there to imitate Yang Guo and shouting at the aunt, occasionally shocking a few hares and flashing by.

At the foot of the mountain is an open hilly meadow, with half a person tall weed growing tenaciously, and a simple path has been stepped out.

My cousin Langsie stared at the bow on Chen Jian's back and finally couldn't help asking: "Jian, what is in your hand?"

A group of cousins ​​and uncles turned around and wanted to know what they were doing. If it was a lucky charm, it seemed a bit too big.

Chen Jian explained it, but no one understood what this was. Because there was no word "bow or arrow", many words were difficult to explain.

The sound of the conversation caused the grass to shake, and two fat monsters in the distance were roaring and flapping their wings.

Chen Jian made a booing gesture to everyone and quietly walked into the weeds.

The two fat monster birds were not too scared when they saw Chen Jian, but just kept a safe distance and moved slowly.

Chen Jian knew that there must be a bird's nest in his original location. These birds that lay eggs on the ground will not escape immediately after seeing the enemy appear, but will choose to lead the enemy away to protect the chicks in the bird's nest. This is a reproductive instinct.

Looking at the two strange birds in front of him, Chen Jian was completely confused.

"Where am I now?"

This kind of bird is definitely not a chicken. It is bloated and larger than a chicken. Its wings deteriorate and runs very quickly, and it will make a chorus of doggling.

The cousin and uncles looked at Chen Jian and laughed. This kind of bird is not easy to catch, and it is difficult to catch up once it runs. Most women will drive them away and look for bird eggs in nearby haystacks. It is not easy to catch it.

"This is Jian's first hunting, and he will understand that hunting is not simple."

My uncle expressed his opinion, but did not stop a newly-adult hunter from being curious. On the contrary, he was waiting to see Chen Jian's annoyed expression. This is the growth that any tribe hunter must experience. He understood that hunting depends on everyone.

However, Chen Jian's actions were different from what these relatives thought. He tiptoed to a place ten meters away from the fat bird.

This distance is still a safe distance for fat birds who have never seen bows and arrows. So in order to protect the birds in the grass in the distance, they constantly shaking their degenerate wings and provoking them. When they get closer, the bird will run away.

"Go to die, two roasted chickens!"

Chen Jian laughed, because the simple feather arrow had no string groove, so he had to hook the bowstring mouth with his thumb and clamp the feather arrow, put it on the right side, and quickly let go of his fingers.

Buzz...

The simple wooden arrow flew ten meters away and directly shot a fat bird. The fat bird screamed a few times, flapping its wings and fell to the ground.

The other one ran away, and it was indeed quite powerful as flying on the grass, and people could not catch up with it in a short time.

"roar……"

The relatives behind let out a scream of surprise. This completely exceeded their imagination. A handful of bent wood like the moon could actually make the branches fly out and shoot a fat bird that is difficult to catch?

People immediately surrounded me. My cousin touched the simple longbow with trembling touch, and only touched it for a moment, quickly retracted it like an electric shock, muttering in his mouth and wondering what he was saying.

He didn't know what this was, maybe he was afraid of angering the gods inside, and the wooden arrows would stab him in his heart, giving him the same fate as the fat bird.

An uncle ran over, picked up the big fat bird, held it high, but he was careful not to touch the feather arrows on it.

This is the first harvest of hunting today, and it always bodes well.

"Healthy!"

"Healthy!"

The lack of language can only call his name to express his joy. No matter what, there is another hunter in the tribe who can hunt alone.

People surrounded Chen Jian and asked how everything that surprised them happened.

"Bow! Arrow!"

Chen Jian raised the weapon in his hand and named it with the name of later generations. The words were correct and the crowd shouted several times with his tongue that was used to tremolo, and finally he made the right sound.

Wolf skin pointed at the bow and arrow and asked what was going on. Chen Jian gave an explanation in the style that was most suitable for this wilderness era.

"In my dream, a voice told me that I could catch prey."

"Who told you?"

People are curious about this. At this time, they do not understand the existence of gods and other things. They just subconsciously feel that there is a power beyond nature, but they have not created the original religion.

Chen Jian did not answer immediately, but thought about it carefully. If the tribe expands in the future, what he said today will definitely be of great significance.

So he described: "In the dream, that thing looks like a bear, but it is black and white, and eats a long branch. In the dream, he taught him how to make bows and arrows, and he disappeared after waking up..."

"Black and white? Bear eating branches?"

Everyone was surprised that they had never seen such a thing before. Most of the bears they saw were gray or brown.

Although I have never seen it, looking at the fat bird that was shot to death, the group of people immediately developed inexplicable admiration for this bear.

This is a gift to their tribe. It must be that the ancestors or gods of the tribe turned into bears after death, and their ancestors were protecting the tribe.

Seeing everyone's serious and almost pious discussion, Chen Jian couldn't help laughing.

If your tribe really expands, your tribe's totem will probably be a panda in the future.

This thing is very simple to draw, just a piece of charcoal and a piece of white bark, which is absolutely lifelike.

only……

If you encounter a tribal alliance with deer antlers, snake bodies, fish scales, and bird claws in the future, and your own tribe will be integrated into it and it will really form a group with its own culture, then how can you add the totem of the tribe at that time?
