From Chief to Ball

For example, this tribe does not have a spinning wheel, but he has seen clusters of silk thread. Could it be that the silk thread is directly formed into a thread without a spinning wheel?

Another example is that when these people burned the wasteland, they left a large oak forest near the village. This is completely different from the tribe. There are no trees near the cities in the tribe. Song can't figure out that they left such a large forest. What is it for.

Song knew that even if he asked, they might not tell him, and he couldn't fully communicate with them now.

However, he believes that when he goes back, Jian will tell himself all the things he finds strange. Although this tribe is as rich and happy as his own, and there are even some things that his own tribe does not have, Kesong will not envy.

He knew that if he had stepped into this tribe's village a few months ago, he would have regarded all this as a miracle.At that time, he didn't know what pottery was, he didn't know that clay pots could be used for cooking, and he didn't know how to wear things other than animal skins. Seeing all this, he was ready to prostrate himself on the ground.

But now, he was just a little curious, but not too shocked.

He even wanted to tell E Yue that it only took a few months for his tribe to grow from scratch.It's a pity that he couldn't express the pride in his heart.

Looking up at the geese flying across the sky, he suddenly wanted to go home.Maybe the tribe is working now, maybe there is something new in the tribe in a month's time.Relying on the hands of the tribe, one's own tribe will be stronger and more prosperous than this tribe.

For the first time in such a long time, he sighed at his missing left hand.

It's not lamenting my disability, but lamenting that I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this world-changing labor...

While sighing, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, the neighing of a horned deer.

He knew that Chen Jian would not pick them up until after the wheat beans were harvested, and for a moment he thought it was his hallucination of homesickness.

But when he raised his head, by the river in the distance, several horned camels were running towards this side, carrying their familiar clansmen.

Chapter 63 Civilization Perspective

The riders presented gifts and solemnly handed over the roll of silk hidden in the birch bark. E Yue didn't pick it up with his own hands, but let one of his wives walk over and take it.

Because of the language barrier, E Yue didn't ask any more questions, but asked people to take the riders down to rest and told the tribe to prepare the best dinner.

After the riders withdrew, E Yue's three wives, his sister, brother and other family members surrounded him.

Although they are family members, they naturally distinguish between superiority and inferiority in terms of standing position.

Eyue has three wives, the first one is in charge of divination and calendar, standing side by side with Eyue, she is the only one in the tribe with this qualification.

The second wife is in charge of food and goods, and stands on the east side of the lower head of the e-yue. This is for a reason. Back then, the tribes of Hua and Su fought in Quangu, Hua won and Su lost, and Hua's tribe was on the east of Su. Since then, East has been honored.

The third wife is from the tribe of Dongyi. She is not a prisoner of war, but a wild marriage. She is proficient in witch medicine and herbal medicine. west side.

In addition, it is the people in the tribe who are in charge of planting cattle and sheep. They inherited the rules when Hua was still alive, and each took charge of one side.

Now, E Yue lifted off the sackcloth covering it, revealing the gift he had sent.

Barbaric tribes will focus on food first, because they can't understand other things, and they can't understand what is contained in those things.

Just like those groups who went to the city to thank their ancestors, they just felt the shock, but they couldn't understand the power contained in it that could be passed down through the ages.

However, E Yue and the clansmen first cast their eyes on the pair of bronze silkworm moths, which were obviously a ritual vessel.

As for the food that was delivered, although it smelled delicious, no one cared.Someone brought in the slaves who were trying to eat, and distributed some of the food to the slaves.This is just a habit. After Nianhua and his wife died, there was a tribal struggle in the homeland where poisoned food was used to kill the leader, so there were slaves who tried it.

E Yue held up the bronze moth, looked it over carefully, and asked his favorite wife who was in charge of divination and calendar, and asked, "What do you think?"

The woman did not divination, but said very firmly: "This tribe is very powerful, even in our homeland, it is a very powerful tribe."

The woman looked at the bronze moth, shook her head with a smile and said: "Their craftsmanship is not very good, it is much worse than our jade carving techniques. If you don't look carefully, you may think this moth is a bird."

The family all laughed. When the clansmen worshiped Ezu, they also used silkworm moths, but they were carved from jade, which was much more lifelike than this one.

But the woman then said: "But with this copper silkworm and cocoon, it will be different."

A few people looked at the few things, but they didn't see anything special. They seemed to be very ordinary. The carving technique was really far behind that of their own tribe, and there were no patterns at all.

However, E Yue's face was solemn, and he agreed with his wife's opinion, the reason why he likes this woman's mind.

He held up the bronze silkworm and said: "This man named Jian knows how silk comes from. He knows silkworms, moths, and even cocoons. But he is not from those tribes in our homeland, let alone those People, and only a few tribes know about silkworm cocoons."

The woman continued: "This copper is the same as their weapons, and it is also the same as the copper that Hua made weapons in the past. We know that it is copper, and we can melt copper, but we don't know what is mixed in it and why it hardens. "

E Yue smiled and said: "Yes, this Jian is telling us that the bronze weapons of their tribe were not given by others, they did not fall from the sky, they were smelted by themselves, that's why they smelted this pair of silkworm moths for us to see. It's telling us they can smelt weapons, so I don't want to play with him."

"Yeah, he's a very cunning little guy." The woman smiled, wondering what kind of Jian the man said she looked like. She didn't see it that day, but she heard that he was very young.She felt that these things must be the technology passed down from the tribe, and she didn't even think that it came from a tribe that had just walked out of the wilderness for less than a year.

The woman put down the bronze silkworm, looked at the various gifts, her eyes swept over the two bronze mirrors, did not stop, but stared blankly at the square glued with wooden boards on the other side, fascinated.

She is in charge of divination, calendar, and statutes, so she is naturally very sensitive to this geometric shape. She couldn't help holding the square in her hand, looking at the perfect angle with a fanatical and pious gaze, and couldn't put it down.

This square angle is so perfect, for a person who is immersed in numbers and shapes, light and shadow all day long, this is an irresistible temptation, just like fish for those little civet cats in the tribe.

This square not only has square corners, but also several perfect circles carved on the wooden board.

She can also draw a circle, and she also has rules, but the inside of the circle is not empty, but has a diameter passing through the center of the circle, and several triangles whose sides are the diameter.

Almost instantly, she keenly discovered the problem. The shapes of the triangles are not the same, but...their corners are all perfect rectangular corners!

These corners are like bright stars, making her fall into a dream, dazed in a daze.

The family members have never seen her like this, they don't know why she is so surprised, but they dare not disturb her, no one can disturb her except E Yue.

It wasn't the first time E Yue saw his wife like this, but he knew what it meant. Could there be something on the square that even his wife couldn't figure out?

When Chen Jian gave the gift, he didn't know the knowledge of this tribe, nor did he know that there would be a woman who would go crazy for it.But he knew that a group that stepped into civilization would not be interested in eating, but he would definitely be able to see shock from some inconspicuous things.

And if this is a civilized group that has not stepped into it, I am afraid that after seeing the square, they will think, what the hell is this, maybe it can be hung as a decoration, but they will never see the things drawn on it.

The performance of the woman at this time is not a barbaric witch madness, but a civilized thinking.

E Yue was a little worried about his wife, and didn't quite understand what happened. She wanted to get back the ruler, but the woman held it tightly. Her fingertips turned white from the force, and it took her a long time to wake up. Looking at the picture on it, she suddenly Suddenly shouted: "Wait for me, I really want to know what that Jian wants to say!"

I hurried to my house, pulled out the ruler, drew a circle on the ground, then used a ruler to make a diameter, randomly picked a point on the circle, and took out the ruler to measure it; Measure a little and paint again.

After repeating it several times, the family members looked at the pictures on the ground curiously. They didn't quite understand them, but they knew that these figures were perfect.

The woman stared at the picture on the ground, and murmured: "So it is, so it is..."

After chanting several times in a row, finally after the fourth sentence said so, he burst out laughing.

She understood exactly what was painted on it—it was a question she had never thought about. It turned out that there is such a relationship between the angle of a rectangle and a circle.

After laughing, she suddenly thought of something, and said seriously: "Yue, this tribe is very powerful. Their house building and city walls are no worse than ours, or even better."

"better?"

"Yes, it's better. People can tell lies, but this ruler and the paintings on it can't. That's what he wants to tell us...they have strong cities that we can't take down. Maybe...he also wants to Let's see if we can understand."

Whether you understand or not, you can tell when you return the gift. If you don't understand, you will be ridiculed by the other party.Food to food, divination to divination, ritual vessel to ritual vessel.
