From Chief to Ball

Applause resounded among the clansmen, someone took out a piece of willow bark, and played it whiningly, the sound was harsh and without rhythm, but there was a burst of applause.

The adults imitated the grouse's courtship movements, and danced wild and primitive dances around the campfire, expressing their yearning for a new life in their hearts.

Yu Qian'er looked at the cave where she had been living since she was born, and felt a little bit reluctant for some reason.Knowing that my brother will definitely make life better for the clansmen, but there is still a moon drawn by myself on the wall.Even the stone that once tripped him was not so annoying now.

"What will life be like in the future?"

She thought about it ignorantly, but couldn't figure it out.

After a long time, she let go of these strange thoughts and came to Chen Jian with two little birds in her hands.

"Brother, I caught these by the river, but they don't eat bugs or fish."

A few light yellow, fluffy little birds are held in the palm of Yuqian'er.

Chen Jian looked at the orange-red flippers, the flat mouth, and the small meatball protruding from his forehead, and told his sister with a smile that this bird does not eat fish, but only grass.

"Then is it delicious?"

"delicious."

Chen Jian recalled the smell of smoked goose in his previous life, and nodded with certainty. Yu Qian'er hurried to grab some wild vegetables picked by his aunt, and the little bird opened its mouth and swallowed the wild vegetables.

Goose is the first of the three birds, and it is also the only pure vegetarian among the three birds. Although it swims happily in the water, it has a pair of webs that cats are jealous of.

In the future, the village will inevitably have a lotus pond with lotus roots and a few white geese floating there.

He squatted on the ground, recalling what he had seen and heard along the way, and planned the prototype of the village with charcoal on the ground, full of ambitions.

Chapter 20 Thirteen Days Model Village ([-])

When Xingzi blushed half of her face, the birds on Luodao welcomed a new neighbor.

Fortunately, these hairless and flightless neighbors don't disturb their lives. Except for a few annoying wolf cubs who are always looking at the cliffs that cannot be climbed, there is not much to be wary of, so we should eat Sleep should be eaten, and by the way, the bird droppings were thrown on the heads of those wolf cubs, scaring them to bow their heads and scurry around.

This was the first day that Chen Jian and his tribe came downstream, and they temporarily stationed on Luodao.

Chen Jian told the people not to eat the snails by the river, and made up a disgusting and horrible story, which scared the children who were picking up the snails by the river to rush back to the people.

A snail looks like a snail, but it is like a husky and a wolf. If you get it wrong, you will have big problems.

People with yellow skin and black eyes have very weak resistance to schistosomiasis. Until Chen Jian crossed over, schistosomiasis was still rampant in some places in the south of the Yangtze River.Now we can only prevent it in advance, there is no other way, not eating snails is the only prevention that can be done now.

The children didn't dare to pick up the snails, so they told the story to the adults, so the talk of snails changed color.Originally, an aunt figured out the conch head shape by herself, but she was so frightened that she quickly untied it and braided it back into a long braid.

Apart from the snails, Chen Jian also forbade his tribe to hunt the birds here.Because there are still feces to ask for from others, so I can only be a shit shovel officer silently.

The children who dared not go near the river to pick up snails had to run around the island with wolf cubs, dodo birds and little geese, but the pig was left among the crowd.

People used branches to insert a simple pigsty. The women first used small wooden sticks to gently tickle the sows, so that they were familiar with the existence of humans, and then switched to using their hands, so that they could get close to eating in their hands.

Of course, Chen Jian would not put the village here.Just before the house is built, the natural moat can effectively prevent those predators.

There are still more than ten days before the inter-tribal gathering, and this tribal gathering is also extremely important.There are too many things to do, and Chen Jianyue realizes that the population is too small and stretched.

Together with Song and others, the tribe now has 110 and three members.There are 34 light and strong males and 48 females, and the rest are either disabled or elderly and children.

There are many things, and there must always be a charter.

First pottery is fired, and more pottery is fired.

Chen Jian wants to give these pottery to other tribes when they gather.If you want to develop the concept of trade and commodities, you must have enough productivity and surplus materials. As for the situation where food was a problem for the tribe before, what can be exchanged?

Even the fucking bones are smashed to eat bone marrow, in exchange for bone scum?

He wanted to make the rest of the tribe feel that it would be better for the cats to come out to farm in the ravine and integrate into their own tribe.It would not work to rely on the number [-] people under his current hands for the future basic plan.

The first batch of pottery was not expected to be exchanged for things from other tribes, but other tribes must be made aware of the existence of pottery and the possibility of another way of life.

Only when there are surplus materials, can there be transactions.There is a trade, and Tao Cai is not just a vessel used by the tribe, but a barter that can be exchanged for other things.If other tribes want to have surplus supplies, they must integrate into the new settled life, and eventually merge into large tribes connected by blood.

In addition, he also had to build a number of houses.

Not only is it not good for the tribe to live on Luodao in the open air, but he also wants to create a "Potemkin Village" as a model in the eyes of other tribes.

Potemkin, Catherine's lover, built a number of model villages in front of the Queen's tour in order to please the queen and let foreign envoys see the prosperity of her country.

Cattle and sheep are everywhere, everyone is peaceful, the yellow hair hangs down and the hair is happy, and the smoke from the kitchen is wafting in the air.

The only disadvantage is that the cattle and sheep people in each village are the same... Even in order to catch up with the Queen's speed, they even rode to the next village immediately after the performance, put on sheepskins and lay down on the grass.

Now Chen Jian doesn't have to worry about being called a show, after all, it's a real progress, but it's not easy to create a prototype of a village within ten days.

Nothing, no saw, no chisel, no soil basket, not even a hoe.

Everything has to be started from scratch, and the clan members are full of energy, and they need to keep their eyes on the appearance of the new home in order to maintain long-term passion.

The tribesmen have gotten used to the new division of labor, which is no longer based on age and gender, but is arranged by Chen Jian.

The wolf belt led more than a dozen people to hunt and fish. Chen Jian told the wolf leather to dig deep pits and traps every day after hunting to see if they could catch any living things.

The children were also assigned by Chen Jian to weed pigs and catch bugs and grasshoppers, but they were not allowed to leave the adults too far.

A dozen people were arranged for Cousin Acorn to fire a few new pottery wheels today with a slightly changed style.

After gesturing and drawing on the ground to say what he wanted, Acorn half understood, but followed Chen Jian's idea to make mud cakes with mud sticks.

The rest of the people were taken by him to the north bank of the Grass River, and he had already selected a place to settle down.

There is a cliff on the north bank of the river, and a slope extends to the north. The slope is connected with a small hill, and a small river flows through the hill.

The small hill is about 500 meters away from the river bank, and the terrain is relatively high, even if it is not flooded by floods, it is a good place to settle down.

The most original houses have significant regional characteristics.The tribal groups in the Yangtze River Basin in the previous generation used wooden stakes to be inserted into the ground to form a semi-attic-like building.One is to prevent moisture, the other is to prevent snakes, and the third is to use the bottom as a kennel.

However, Chen Jian estimated his own construction level and rejected that plan.Wooden houses may seem simple, but in fact they are far more troublesome than stone buildings, especially after the peak mortise and tenon structure appeared, which developed structural mechanics to the peak of classicism.

The only downside is... When all the civilizations jump up and start tearing their ancestors apart, the wooden buildings will either be burned or decayed, and they will not look as good as stone ones when they are torn apart.

The house he can build now can only use the most earthy method.As for the wonders that have been passed down through the ages, let's wait for future generations, I don't have that level of architecture.

On the flat hillside, a rectangle about six meters long and three meters wide was roughly circled with a rope. The first house is going to be built on the north slope of the cliff.

Divide half of the people into digging pits with bone plows, tell them that it doesn't need to be too deep, and find a one-foot-long stick as a ruler.

The remaining half went to the top of the cliff and threw hard rocks like granite and obsidian down the cliff.

This is the original method of making stone tools. It is all about luck to choose the ones that are suitable for millstones from the crushed stones. In theory, if you smash enough, you can drop anything you want.
