From Chief to Ball

Mother Pea looked at these children with regret, knowing that when she got old, these unattended children would grow old with her.But she had no choice but to watch these children cry.Until one day, the angel's hand stretched out and took away the children who couldn't live without their mothers. Mother Pea finally let go of her last worries and grew old.Those children were also stripped of their outer shackles by these hands, buried in the embrace of Mother Earth, and started a brand new journey.

Until a long time later, those children who were saved by the angels could look at their brothers and sisters with contempt and tell them: "Look! You are not as round as I am, not as big as I am, and not as knotted as I am."

The older brothers and sisters felt aggrieved that they would burst pods, but they were asked back by the weakest younger brothers and sisters: "However, it is useless. If I don't explode the pods, I will be full of grandchildren as I am? What about you? How much blood is left? In this world?"

Chen Jian speculates that the story of domesticated plants is roughly like this. From a human point of view, peas that do not burst pods are good peas, and wheat that does not dehull is good wheat.

Since he wanted to plant, Chen Jian naturally looked for these defective products from the plant world as seeds. The probability of such mutations was extremely high, so he didn't have to worry about the quantity.He didn't plan to plant the ones collected by the rest of the tribe, but planned to use them to make wine and do a big thing.

After more than half a month, the normal seeds will fall off, and this is the time to collect the seeds that do not burst or fall off.I can't plant so many lands, and pick up beans in the ditch with my buttocks pouted.

The people of the tribe only thought that Chen Jian didn't want to waste a day, so they didn't feel strange at this time, anyway, they could exchange with other tribes.

It wasn't until Chen Jian said another thing, combined with this one, that it finally became extraordinarily strange.

Chen Jian looked at the arrangements for the next day, and said to everyone: "Let's spare a day tomorrow, let's mow the grass."

That night, Chen Jian made some tanned leather, compared the approximate shape of his hand, cut it out with stones, and glued the upper and lower layers with isingas glue to make a pair of simple gloves. The man made a pair, saying that it was to prepare for mowing the grass tomorrow.

"What kind of grass are you going to mow?"

"Stinging grass."

Chen Jian said the answer with a smile, and saw the wolf skin on the side subconsciously covering his butt.The last time he was out in the wild, he grabbed a handful of stinging weeds as a cleaning tool. As a result, the clansmen who were a hundred steps away heard his wailing, and walked with their legs crossed all afternoon.

Stinging weed is nettle, or scorpion weed, a very aggressive and hardy plant.The people of the tribe called this grass Stinging Grass after the wolf skin howled, because the wolf skin said it was like being stung by a group of bees.

The distribution of nettles is very wide, and they can be found everywhere in the temperate zone. They don’t look special, but the small hairs on them are poisonous, and they are really sore and numb. Some people call them stinging pockmarks.

But this kind of grass tastes delicious after being scalded with boiling water, and pigs and sheep like it very much, and it is a kind of hemp, a kind of hemp that can be spun.

In the memory of the previous life, the most famous story about nettles is the story of wild swans: the stepmother turned Princess Elisa’s eleven brothers into swans, and the princess was inspired to use nettles to make ten swans for her brothers. A piece of clothing, so that the curse can be lifted, so Alisa weaves nettles that make men feel painful, and finally turns her brothers back into princes.

The next day, when the clansmen wore gloves in one hand and waved stone scythes with the other or plucked nettles with their hands, Yu Qian'er followed Chen Jian and heard the story.

Naturally, there is no queen, witch and bishop, and the swan has become a goose.The transliterated name of Alisa was also changed by Chen Jian. Alisa should mean a girl who likes to laugh and smile in Gubeizhi German.

The people in the tribe don't have the habit of using expressions as their own names. Chen Jian thought of the word "smile without showing teeth", so Princess Alyssa became a girl named Front Ya. He felt that his translation was very trustworthy.

In fact, the tribe has never seen the door, so of course there is no such thing as front teeth.But the incisor is not something that comes after the door, there will always be a separate name, so the story can be told in a way that the tribe can understand.

This is the first fairy tale that Yu Qian'er has heard, and the story without twists and turns is particularly pleasant to the ears of people who have just escaped from the wilderness.

It's just that Yu Qian'er didn't think of the unyielding and resistance contained in it, but looked at those nettles with envy.

For a long time, she felt that she was very envious of that girl named Front Ya, really envious.

If one day my brother is also turned into a little goose, I will definitely be the same as that girl named Front Ya, let alone weaving nettles, even thorns can be tolerated by myself.

As if to prove this point, she took off her gloves and grabbed a flowering nettle covered in hairs with her hands, clenching her teeth and not making a sound, because the sound in the story would be struck to death by lightning of.

A tingling and itchy feeling came from the palm of his hand, Yu Qian'er didn't let go of his hand, and pursed his mouth for some unknown thought.

It's not because of the pain, but because she thinks that her brother is so powerful, how could someone turn him into a goose?Although I can endure so much suffering for my brother like Front Ya, but my brother will probably never know.

I don't know why, but she is a little jealous of the girl named Front Ya. At least she has the opportunity to let her brother make more painful choices for them. Cheng geese.

So she let go of her hand angrily, pouted a little aggrieved, unhappy.

Chapter 4 Retting Love Song

"I told you to wear gloves, but you have to touch it. Did you get stung? Does it hurt?"

Yu Qian'er nodded, the itchy palm felt like being stung by a bee, Chen Jian grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side with a smile, "You deserve it, who told you to take off the gloves?"

I looked at the small burrs on the palm of my hand, and my hand was red and full of small dots.Go to the stream and get some wet mud, stick it on Yuqian'er's palm, rub it hard a few times, rub it off, and replace it with some.

The original itchy feeling gradually disappeared, and those small burrs were all sticky and sticky mud.

Yu Qian'er looked at her elder brother who was scolding her, and said to herself that the girl named Front Ya was stupid, if only she knew how to wear gloves, but unfortunately none of her eleven elder brothers knew how to do it.

Chen Jian rubbed it for a while, knowing that it was all right, he said, "Go and wash your hands."

He turned around and told the clansmen who were harvesting nettles this method, it was a very simple local method, the basic skills of farmers.

Divergent thinking, this is also a very technical behavior.In the previous life, some nobles often added emery powder to each other's diet in order to fight for the right of inheritance. Some jealous wives harmed their concubines by stuffing them under the concubines with chopped hair stubble. They also used a similar method, but they used the tenderloin cut out of the sticky surface to stick it out little by little.

The clansmen easily understood the first aid method after being stung, isn't it just to tie the chewed sticky grass to the branches to stick the cicadas to eat? It's easy to understand.

In fact, the tribe is not stupid, because the tribe is human, not orangutan, and their learning ability is still good.

None of the technologies used by Chen Jian today are out of this era—except for the far-off toilet scraper.Any other items are the leftovers of the ancestors of this era in the previous life.

Even some technologies may not be comparable to those of some tribes in the previous life, such as the one-millimeter-diameter drill holes on the jade, the bronze sacred tree in Sanxingdui, the smiling goddess in the Hongshan culture, the lifelike jade dragon... none of his tribes can do it. arrive.

If you don't bring the knowledge of your previous life and grow up in the wild age, how long will it take you to figure out how to drill holes?How to smelt copper?How to weave?How to plant?Without the knowledge of the previous life, there is only one in a million who can do this, so how could they think that these people are orangutans?

In the previous life, the North American Indians and their own people were in a slightly stronger state. There were no horses in North America until the horses brought by the colonists ran away from the farm. It took these Indians less than ten years to domesticate the wild horses. Horses, learned to shoot, and even some Indians can speak English, French, Spanish, Dutch and other languages.

They would maintain their guns and turn broken barrels into pipe axes. Even Chief Tecumseh had a western speech full of gentlemen and ladies. force.

In the Red Cloud War, the Indians wiped out the [-]st Cavalry Division and the [-]th Cavalry Regiment. The sister unit of this unit, the [-]th Cavalry Regiment, was severely damaged by another yellow race troop in the Battle of Yunshan in the Korean War.The word cloud has always been a history that no one can get around.

Chief Hongyun left an impression on those colonists, so the birthplace of the tauren who symbolizes Indians in a certain game is Hongyun Terrace.

This kind of learning ability, I'm afraid it can't be understood by orangutans.

The difficult thing is not to know why, but to know why.Can everyone who can recite pi use calculus?But does this affect the calculation of the area of ​​a circle by those who don't know how to calculate the infinite division method of calculus?

Chen Jian didn't expect the clansmen to know the reason of all this, but learning to know the reason is not a big problem, he is not worried.There is no reason why my own people cannot do what the Indians in the previous life could do; there is no reason why some smart Indians learned English and French in three years, and my own people can do a thousand in three years with someone teaching them. Can't count.

Just like the pile of nettles under their feet, the clansmen don't need to know why the decomposed fibers can be spun into threads, they just need to know how to spin them.As for the principle, it depends on time accumulation and later generations.

As he thought so, he lowered his head and continued harvesting wild nettles.Everyone's gloves are full of sweat, mixed with the leather, giving off a foul smell of protein decay.This kind of gloves made by the Hezhen people in the previous life with the method of glueing fish swim bladders to clothes is not breathable at all. It would be nice if there were a pair of gloves made of nettle thread at this time.

Near noon, a lot of nettles had been harvested and tied into bundles with rattan. Two people carried a bundle and brought it back to the village.

The women spend the afternoon beating the nettles with sticks to remove the leaves and break up the woody fibers.

The men went to the river and made several simple retting ponds by using the natural river fork.Hemp needs to be retting before it can be used for weaving. Natural microorganisms are used to decompose the bonds between fibers, so that all the fibers are scattered.

It takes more than ten days to complete the job. During the retting process, the poisonous hairs on the nettles will also fall off, and the hemp fibers formed in the end are similar to cotton fibers, which can be twisted into hemp threads with a simple spinning wheel or spinning wheel.

The principle of the spinning wheel is not difficult, that is, the big wheel drives the small wheel, and the small wheel rotates at an extremely fast speed to twist the short fibers together.

To understand it simply, it's like tying a few ropes to a person's body, fixing the other end, and then frantically doing a forward roll. Naturally, these few ropes are twisted into one strand.

The large and small wheel technology does not need to be done by Chen Jian himself. Acorns and others who burn pottery all day long can make it. The difficulty is how to make the line longer and longer instead of breaking in a short time. Great patience is slowly pondering, and within a thousand years, I am afraid that it will be the basic skill of a woman, and it will also be the guarantee of a woman's family status in the future.
