From Chief to Ball

Now this kind of white rhizome is planted on the edge of the pond, where the water is very shallow, some shoots are out of the water, and a few dragonflies are parked on it.

Geese and geese are playing inside, and the sparkle of yellow paws is faintly visible.The fish in the wicker baskets were thrown into the pond last night, avoiding the harmless yellow claws, or dragging the reeds that were thrown into the water.

Above the pond is the nest of geese, geese and dodo birds. Birds who have never met before live in the same nest because of their tribe.

The sound of old people chasing Dodo birds and letting them enter their nests, accompanied by the quacking of geese and geese, is indescribably comfortable.

A doduo bird ran to a place far away from the house. There was a road covered with green grass that had been trampled there, and a tall pine pole was beside the road.

A short branch was tied across it, and under the branch was a flag made of white fiber cloth.

The people of the tribe feel that all these lives come from the guidance of their ancestors, so they want to draw the appearance of their ancestors in their dreams on it.

Only the old grandmother and Chen Jian had seen that kind of black and white bear, but the old grandmother still let Chen Jian draw, so the charcoal drew a strange symbol on the white fiber cloth.

It's black and white, it's black and white, and it's round.

But now, from a distance, it looks like two black and white fish connected end to end.The black fish has a white eye on its head, and the white one has a black eye.

Some people think it looks like a whirlpool on the surface of the water, just like the current Grass River.Where the clear brook and the turbid grass river washed by the rain converge, such a clear and clear eddy will be formed.

The people of the tribe used their imaginations to understand the Taiji Talisman of Chen Jian's previous life, but it was not unacceptable.To them, this is like the paintings that the old grandmother painted on the walls, which are not realistic but can feel the taste of them.

They have accepted the rumors of the monochrome bear from the very beginning, but no one has ever seen what a monochrome bear looks like.

So some people understand that white is the soul, black is the body, and the end to end means the fusion of soul and body, or the world split by Pangu as Chen Jian said, half is white and half is black, just like the current day and night Same……

Therefore, the charcoal drawing of Tai Chi read as the ancestor's incarnation of the black and white bear became the symbol of the tribe. The tribe all believed that the wooden stick had magical powers, and no one dared to blaspheme the ancestors.

In the shadow of Hunt's banner was a huge slab of stone in a wicker basket.

Before going to bed last night, by the fire, the tribe agreed to a proposal, although it seemed to some people that it made no sense.

There is no doubt about the suggestion that if you kill your own clan, you will be executed by your clansmen, but the problem is that many people can't figure it out. This is a customary thing, why do you have to say it?Is there anyone who will harm the same race?Even if you don't say it, everyone knows it, but no one has thought about what to do if you kill your own family.

The tribal discussion, if the majority agrees and the minority disagrees, it will be passed. You can object before the discussion. Once passed, those who still object will be given a stone axe, exiled from the tribe, and never allowed to return.This is similar to being executed, a person cannot survive.

There are many miscellaneous things, but the big stone slab in the wicker basket is a lesser crime, and I have to climb up the cliff with it on my back.Depending on the mistakes you make, the number of times you need to climb is also different.

Chen Jian's proposal was to use labor instead of carrying stones, but was rejected by the clansmen who didn't understand the ownership and slavery for the time being. Labor is what the clansmen should do. What kind of punishment is this?So someone came up with the idea of ​​carrying stones, and the proposal was passed.

There is a circle of goshawk's feathers stuck on the stone, which is surrounded by ropes to form a ring.The eagle was shot down by the wolf skin because it wanted to catch the goose that was taken off the ground, so the eagle became a bad thing in the eyes of the tribe.

The person who made a mistake will wear this eagle feather for many days, and it will not be taken off until the tribe forgives.

In the past, it relied on primitive morality and conventions, but now it relies on unwritten and simple laws, which retain traces of primitive morality, but are somewhat different.

The clansmen didn't feel too much inappropriate, the only thing they didn't understand was the last thing Chen Jian built in the village.

Chen Jian called it a toilet. Not too far from the village, he dug two earthen pits and blocked the middle with mud. The place to squat was on the edge of the earthen pit. Wooden sticks, easy to hold by hand and keep from falling.

A row of pigsty piled up with branches is next to it, and the ground is slightly sloped.The little piglets were grunting, usually they would go out to graze the pigs at this time, but today people seemed to forget, and just threw in some chopped ginkgo.

The sloping ground was exceptionally clean due to the heavy rain before, and the excrement was washed into the pit, covered with a layer of plant ash, which had no smell.

The clansmen must go there to go to the toilet, and they must pour half a basket of plant ash after they go, otherwise they will have to carry stones up the cliff twice.

This was the only thing the clansmen could not understand, but out of trust, they passed the proposal.

Chen Jian told them that in the future, there will be a white, snow-like powder produced from there, and at that time, he will show the people the power of thunder and lightning.

So the clansmen went there to see it early in the morning, but everything was as usual, there was no white snow-like powder, which gradually dispersed, and it was just a joke.

Now standing on the top of the mountain and looking at my new home, I feel that Chen Jian is right. No one wants to step on things that they don't want to step on near the house.Although the wolf cub is very interested in that thing, he has no chance to eat it now.

This is their new home. A scene that was unimaginable thirteen days ago appeared on the ground after the rain, just like mushrooms popping up in the woods, so suddenly.

The weeds that were supposed to grow wildly in front of the house, which were considered normal, now look very dazzling. Some people think that they will use a stone hoe to dig them off before eating.

The women wanted to plant some bright flowers. Yesterday, Yuqian'er dyed her nails red with a kind of flower. They thought it was very beautiful, and even fell in love with those inedible flowers.

On the trampled ground where the soil was exposed, a white mist rose from the warm sunlight, mixed with the white smoke from the chimney, covering the small village.

The people of the tribe like the beautiful rainbow very much, but no one takes a second look.All eyes are fixed on his own village, his own home, imagining what Chen Jian promised to look like in a year, and he is fascinated.

After a long time, the sun melted the rainbow, the wind blew away the fog, and the black and white flag that entrusted hope and worship was unfurled and fluttered high.

Tomorrow, we will meet with other tribes.

The people of the clan feel that they should take this flag to tell them that their clansmen have the protection of their ancestors; they should comb their braids and buns and tell them that their life is different from theirs; they should tell the stories here and tell them themselves Joy and pride in my heart.

Those who are willing to integrate into the tribe will be connected by blood, just like Song and his tribe.

If there is a desire to covet them, there will naturally be arrowheads and stone spears to tell them how powerful they are.

Each other's blood can be in the blood vessels of the next generation, and naturally it can also be on the sharpness of spears and arrows.

Chapter 24 Please put on your leather pants

At night, the clansmen discussed for a long time by the fire, and the quarrel lasted until midnight.

The new way of life will inevitably have an impact on the old ideas, and the main issue of the quarrel is centered on a proposal made by Chen Jian.

Chen Jian explained that he would bring some pottery bowls and pots to other tribes tomorrow, not too many.

The first person to object was the pottery-burning cousin Acorn. He stood up and shouted loudly: "We made these pottery little by little. We dug the soil and cut down the trees. Why should we give it to others? Even if they wanted it, You have to use something in exchange!"

Although the clansmen still don't quite understand the relationship between labor and value, they also feel that Acorn's words are very reasonable.Of course it's okay to give them a few as gifts, but Chen Jian asked the clansmen to bring a lot.

There are already a lot of tribal clay pots and bowls, but even if they are not used, they look good on the windowsill, so why give them to others?

Chen Jian waited until Acorn had finished speaking, then got up and said, "But what shall we exchange?"

Acorn said without thinking, "Bacon, salt, dried fish, whatever."

The clansmen echoed one after another, but Langpi stood up and said, "Before Chen Jian got the guidance of our ancestors, what was our life like? Don't talk about dried bacon and fish, even the bones have to be chewed. What can they change?" ? In exchange for some bone scum?"

Song Ye stood up to support Chen Jian. He recalled his previous life. The days of despair and death were gone forever, but he knew that it was a delusion before joining the tribe.

The words of the two made the noisy clansman quiet down immediately, recalling the past life, if it wasn't for Chen Jian, where would there be so much food left?It's just that these days are so comfortable that they regard sufficient food as the norm.

Chen Jian didn't talk about the principle of commodity exchange, but picked up a wicker basket for fishing next to him.

"Before it rained, we used wicker baskets to catch fish for the last time. Lancao was reluctant to put meat in it, and fed the meat to the little wolf cubs who walked around her all day, so her wicker baskets were empty, while others were full. of."

The clansmen burst into laughter, cousin Lancao blushed, lowered her head and pouted her mouth, shyly kicked the little wolf cub who was playing with her aside.

Chen Jian went on to say: "Without meat, the fish will not go into the basket. This is the same principle. Of course it is possible to change it. We squeezed it out by hand. But if they don't know clay pots, how can they know how to change them?" How about it? Before there were no clay pots, couldn’t everyone survive? But if everyone’s clay pots and bowls are broken now, will everyone get used to it?”
