From Chief to Ball

"I won't talk about it. What I want to say, I have to wait until I plant it myself."

She shook her head, smiled slyly, and then said quietly: "I used to think that the meat on the inside of the fire was the fastest, but when I was roasting the meat a few days ago, I found out that the top of the fire roasted the fastest. I thought it might not be Yes, it depends on the eyes."

Chen Jian was very happy and asked Yu Qian'er to tell the tribe about this matter.Yu Qian'er asked if he was talking about barbecue and fire?Chen Jian said no, it was the latter sentence.

In order to prove the sentence behind Yu Qian'er, Chen Jian grabbed a handful of poplar leaves that were blown off by the wind. Poplar trees don't only shed their leaves in autumn, so he wanted to talk about this topic to let the people remember something.

It happened that there was no wind, so he threw the leaves into the sky, and asked the people to guess whether when the leaves fell, most of them were head-up or tail-up.

All kinds of weird answers emerged one after another. The leaves didn't need to wait for a few days, and the answers were soon. The clansmen were surprised to find that most of the leaves were facing up.

"Why is this so?"

The clansmen also grabbed a handful of leaves and threw them down, tsk tsk surprised that these things they hadn't noticed before were so miraculous.

Chen Jian said with a smile: "Why? I don't know either. But we have to know that the leaves are facing down before we can ask why. Maybe one day we will know why. If we think it is facing up and ask why, I'm afraid it will last forever. None will know."

He flicked away a pea in his hand and said, "It's the same as planting peas. If we make a mistake and face up and down, our efforts will be in vain. Therefore, in the future, we must first look at it with our eyes before thinking about it." Why. Don’t assume that what you think is right.”

The people of the tribe lowered their heads to think about this question. Some people may remember these words, and some people may think it was a joke at the time.

But there will always be people who will remember that this is enough. He doesn't want the clansmen to come to a conclusion in the future, and he doesn't want to make some jokes that are taken for granted. The breeding prototype of the blood horse.It seems that the nephew and aunt of the horse are mated to achieve the purification of the horse, but in the Song Dynasty, some people took it for granted that this was contrary to human relations and the way of heaven, and wrote books triumphantly, thinking that the short life of the Five Dynasties and violating human relations had something to do with it. great relationship.This is a joke made by patting the head.

Of course he knows that the bean navel is the same everywhere, and the clansmen will know it in the future.But what is taken for granted is not the same as what is taken for granted after observation. He still hopes that moistening things will silently affect the way of thinking of the tribe, and replace taking for granted with rationality.

Whether it is the falsifiable god or today's distinction between assumption and fact, the process will be long and boring.

It may take hundreds of years, and there is no way to reach a thousand miles without accumulating steps. Today is the first step of rational thinking.When the beans germinate, the men learn not to take things for granted when they hoe the ground, and that's enough.

The clansmen were still arguing about whether the bean navel was up or down, until the wolf skin in front ran over and said he saw the beehive, which stopped the debate and hurried away with the beehive.

Before seeing the hive, I heard the humming.Chen Jian looked up and saw a half-human-sized beehive on a branch of a big tree. It was the season of blooming mountain flowers, and the bees were busy collecting honey, coming in and out in an orderly manner.

Bees in this season can only live for half a month, and they are much more industrious than humans, so they will not waste time on stinging people.

The rest of the people retreated to the distance to see what to do. Chen Jian brought a few people who were not afraid of stings to approach the tree and opened the lid of the beehive.

He took a sip of the weird-tasting apricot wine and sprayed it in his mouth.The two people below carried the beehive and placed it high above the hive.

Chen Jian found some willow branches and weeds, tied a simple broom, and climbed onto the branch with the wolf skin. A few vigilant bees immediately circled around them, wondering if they should sting.

"Don't hit them, the more you hit, the more they sting."

Trying to resist the urge to reach out and slap the buzzing bees to death, I picked up a small broom and swept all the bees that gathered on the hive into the beehive.

After spotting the queen bee who is wandering around on the honeycomb and preparing to lay eggs, it is much easier to just sweep her into it.

So I spotted it, and with a light wave, the bees scattered with a buzzing sound.The two shook the branch vigorously, shaking all the bees on it, and then cut off the beeswax with a stone knife, and threw the beeswax into the beehive.

Jump under the tree, cover with a layer of fiber cloth, and finally cover the board.

The multitude of bees buzzing outside in search of their queen was scary to watch, but they didn't sting at the moment.

The beehives were carefully placed on the ground, with the entrance and exit facing south, and everyone retreated to the back.

Yu Qian'er pointed to the flying bees and asked, "When will they go back?"

"Don't worry, they will live in their new home in a while. Let's go first and come back in the evening, and we will carry them back after all the bees that have been collecting honey outside come back."

He called the wolf skin, and let the wolf skin continue to lead people to find other wild bee nests, and he and his tribe should guard here.

Honey is an infinite temptation to bears in the forest. If you let it go, you may see beehives smashed into pieces by bears when you come back.

The rest of the tribe sat nearby, and were delighted to find that those bees really did what Chen Jian said, instead of flying chaotically, they crawled into their new home one by one.

As soon as the weather cools down in the evening, these bees will spend the night quietly at home, and then they can be brought back safely without shaking them vigorously.

There are many sources of honey near the village, and collecting honey is not a problem. In the future, this should also be one of the jobs of women in the clan.

Chen Jian plans to find a day to tell the women what is a queen bee and what is a drone, so that they can recognize it clearly.

There is no room for two queens in one nest. Once a new queen bee is born, some of them will be taken away to find a new home.It's a bit like people, and when the population is large, they will migrate separately.

At that time, a few willow trees will be transplanted in the place where the bees are kept. The new queen bee will lead the subjects to wait on the nearby trees for a while, and will not fly away until all the people are gathered.

When grouping, use the same method to sweep the queen bee into the hive to prevent them from escaping.

This is all very simple stuff, easy to learn.If there is more, let the women learn to know what is the queen bee's crown, artificially control the number of clusters, the stronger the bee colony, the more honey and beeswax you can get.

The worker bee and the queen bee who gather honey are the same fertilized eggs, but the same eggs have different lives. One grows up drinking royal jelly, and the other drinks a small amount of royal jelly and mainly eats pollen.The worker bees responsible for feeding only choose the feeding method based on the size of the room. They don't consider whether there are too many queens in reserve, so they can only cut off part of the queen's table artificially for them.

Chen Jian did some calculations, and this thing is easy to understand, and it is not difficult for the current clansmen.It is nothing more than to distinguish which is big and which is small, and children can learn it.

It's just that he has a general idea, but he can't tell what kind of bee population it is, and he doesn't know whether it is the ancestor of the Chinese bee or the Italian bee in the state of species redistribution.

The Chinese bees in the memory of the previous life endured the same sufferings as the Chinese nation. With the sound of the Opium War, the Chinese bees also ushered in their old enemy, the Italian bees.

The wing frequency of the Italian bee is the same as that of the Chinese bee's drone, so the Chinese bee will let these robbers come in and out freely, and the first thing these robbers do after entering the hive is to kill the queen bee, report back, and let their bandit accomplices come and go. Fly to steal honey from Chinese bees.

Sometimes there are fateful coincidences in many things, and it is always a bit embarrassing to think about it.

"Hopefully the bees of this world will have a different fate."

He patted the beehive and muttered to himself.

Yu Qian'er heard this sentence, but didn't understand what her brother was saying. Just as she was about to ask something, there was a sound in the distant jungle.

Wolfpi hurried over and said, "Jian, there is smoke over the mountain."

It only took two months for smoke to go from being a sign of friendship to becoming a fear in the hearts of the people.Birch and Song's encounter made them understand that there is something more terrifying than wild beasts, that is, the same kind of animals that walk upright like them.

"How to do?"

Chapter 8 Ambush

When flustered, trust and conviction will always appear inadvertently.

"Don't panic. Civet cat, you run the fastest, tell the people in the village to hide on the cliff. Men follow me, women hide here."

"elder brother!"

Yu Qian'er yelled, stretched out her hand to hold Chen Jian, feeling a little confused and scared.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back in a while."

Chen Jian touched Yu Qian'er's hair, said nothing, and walked forward with more than 40 men.

Yu Qian'er didn't know what to say. After she heard Hua's story, her brother told her not to be afraid, because there was her brother standing in front of her, so she was not afraid.
