From Chief to Ball

"That's good."

This was the first transaction, and Chen Jian didn't want to make any mistakes, so he ordered a few more things and hurried to the front.

The people carrying the wicker baskets were sweating from exhaustion. They should have rested when they put down the wicker baskets, but their eyes were fixed on the village, reluctant to blink.

No matter the dried fish and bacon hanging on the wall, the straight vegetable bed, or the pottery pots that the women put on the ground, these are all treasures in their eyes, and they can't help but sigh in amazement.

Among the first group of people who came was an acquaintance, the one who competed with the wolf skin last time to throw stones. Chen Jian remembered that his name was Hua, because the piece of malachite impressed him deeply.

Hua's tribe is in the west, at the upper reaches of the Grass River, probably because they walked along the river and didn't have to overcome thorns and thorns, so they came earlier than other tribes.

After the last competition on the top of the mountain, he didn't use the sling much, but learned to bend the bow and arrow himself, but unfortunately he was not accurate.

Along the way, he tried his best to imagine the life here, and only after seeing it with his own eyes did he realize that his imagination was so lacking.

Just the neat rows of houses made him feel that his eyes were not enough, let alone the people coming and going holding various utensils.

He swallowed, and asked, "This...these houses are all made by you?"

"Of course, it was built by Jian with us."

Hua couldn't believe that it was made by people. He even wondered if God gave them such a house by the river and they just discovered it.

Song said proudly: "When Jian brought us here, there was nothing by the river. He said we could live in a house, and we lived in a house. When we came here, the apricots were still green. Now the apricots have fallen, and it has been more than a month."

When it comes to Chen Jian, Song opens up the chatterbox.In the past, he was a family member, and everyone saw it with his own eyes. He didn't have the opportunity to say it at all, just like telling others that the sun is round, that's nonsense.

Now there is finally an outsider, not only Song, but also the rest of the clan chattering about all kinds of changes, Hua is a little dazed and a little timid when he hears it, and he doesn't understand many things at all.What is a month?What is the net?

He had heard the story of the guidance of the ancestor of the black and white bear, and seeing all this with his own eyes, he firmly believed that this tribe must have been protected by the ancestor, and the person named Jian made him dare not imagine.

Recalling that when I was on the top of the mountain, I saw Jian, but he was no different from me, with two eyes and one hand.

But it was such a person who created such a place during the period when the apricots were ripening, it was more terrifying than the thunder in the rainy day-the thunder could only break the trees, but this group of people even changed the appearance of the earth!

Ask about clay pots, because of health; ask about fishing nets, because of health; ask about houses, because of health.He felt a little scary, so he asked tremblingly: "Is there anything that has nothing to do with him?"

Wolfpi had been waiting for this opportunity, how could he let it go, and rushed to Hua, shouting: "Arrow, arrow! I came up with the arrow, really, I didn't blow it, you can ask others. "

Yu Qian'er also shouted from a distance: "I also discovered 29 days in a month."

The clansmen burst out laughing, but after laughing, they also recalled what they found, and were surprised to find that they didn't seem to be useless.

For example, some people find that the boiled skin is very sticky, like turpentine, which can stick to things; some people find that when mowing grass, it saves effort to use the waist instead of arms; Need to change one and wait for it to cool down...

Just as Yu Qianer asked why the pottery wheel turned when he saw the pottery wheel for the first time, the people of the tribe also learned another way of thinking consciously or unconsciously: think of why from experience, and then think of undiscovered but possible existence from why Experience - For example, boiled pigskin can stick to things, so is it okay to boil sheepskin?For example, the moon becomes round in 29 days, so how many days does it take for the sun to rise in the same place again?

Originally it was just a simple question, but after laughing, there was silence. What Chen Jian brought to them was not just a new life.They are full, so they have time to think about why. Many times it seems that Chen Jian knows it clearly, but he only says a little bit, which makes them think for themselves.

Hua didn't expect that one of her questions would lead to such a long silence, and it wasn't until Chen Jian hurried over with a few pieces of charcoal that the dullness was broken.

He reached out his hand to Hua to show friendship, and asked someone to bring over a jar of boiled apricots.

Hospitality is a virtue. Guests should have good wine when they come, but unfortunately they drank it before, so they had to use fruit to make up the number.

Almonds, honey, apricots, lotus root, reed tips... A few cold foods were served. Hua and the tribe were a little embarrassed, but they couldn't help but eat.

Chen Jian stared at the things in the basket on his back with a smile. Malachite was impressively inside. It seemed that there must be copper mines near Hua's tribe.

These few people devoured their meals, and the clansmen persuaded them one after another: "Eat less, we still have to eat after the sun goes down."

Hua pointed to those lotus roots and apricots in amazement and asked, "Isn't this rice?"

"of course not."

The clansmen snuffed their noses vigorously, and the aroma of stir-fried shallot leaves in lard had already wafted over.Hua has never smelled such a delicious smell, resisting the desire to be full, swallowed and said: "Then change the clay pot first."

People gathered around, watching the first transaction curiously.Chen Jian brought some leftover mud and built it into a small table, and asked Yu Qian'er to spread the bark on it for recording.

Hua took out a piece of malachite the size of a gourd from the basket on his back, and said, "This one is beautiful. It's green. It's the same as the fur of a teal. I want to exchange two."

"can."

Chen Jian took the malachite, and Yu Qian'er drew a symbol on the bark, followed by a two.

All kinds of weird stones were taken out, including granite, limestone, soapstone... and some stones that Chen Jian didn't know at all.

In fact, he doesn't know most of the stones, and the ones he knows have obvious characteristics.

After counting all these various stones, more than 30 clay pots and bowls can be exchanged in total.After Hua and the clansmen struggled to confirm the number, Chen Jian asked someone to take a few four ceramic rings from Acorn and hand them to Hua.

Hua asked strangely, "Shouldn't it be enough to just replace the clay pot?"

"Our things can only be exchanged for pottery rings."

Hua took the pottery ring with some puzzlement, then handed it over and said, "Then I want to change the pottery pot now."

"can."

Soon the clansman brought dozens of pottery pots and bowls in wicker baskets, plus the pottery rings given to them last time, the number of these pots and bowls was basically enough for the clansmen to use.

Hua felt that this was superfluous, why did it have to be replaced with a pottery ring?

He thought for a while, and then opened several back baskets. Inside were two lambs, a roe deer cub, some sheepskins, and a dozen pieces of deer shoulder blades.

"I don't want to change these clay pots, can I change dried fish, apricots or something?"

"Of course. But you have to change it to a pottery ring first. With a pottery ring, you can change anything you want, as long as we have it."

Hua pointed to the longbow wrapped in snakeskin in Wolfpi's hand and asked, "Is it okay to change that?"

As soon as the wolf skin was about to refuse, he heard Chen Jian say, "Okay! But I can only exchange it with a Tao ring."

He was about to shake his head, but when he heard what Chen Jian said, he subconsciously agreed, and echoed, "Okay."

Hua looked at the clay pots piled up on the ground, and felt that he might not be able to take them all back this time. It would be nice to replace them with pottery rings, so I can change them later when I want to use them.

He stared at the bow, thinking of what the tribe had discussed before leaving, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Can we live here for a few days? We also have the strength to hunt, and we can just eat the food we catch. .”

He thought that this group of people would refuse, but this group of people immediately agreed and said, "You don't need to hunt by yourself, as long as you work with us, you can live as long as you want."

The stone civet cat subconsciously touched the cocoon on the palm of its hand, looked at the cut grass in the distance, and said in its heart: "Live! You can live as long as you want, as long as you work, you don't need to hunt, and you can eat as much as you want." !"

Hua didn't expect the other party to agree so happily, and exchanged a happy look with the clansmen, saying that she must see how they live.

The clansmen looked at Hua who was full of joy, and thought about the exhaustion from mowing the grass a few days ago, and suddenly understood in their hearts.Or so, that's the deal.
