life in primitive society

Chapter 42 Breaking up?

A Dong's group may have left, but everyone is still worried after all.But Chu Zhi thinks that someone like A Dong should not be able to fight.After all, he is used to being comfortable, and what he fears most is war.Otherwise, the Sun Tribe would not have stood idly by when it came to the Wolf Tribe, causing many tribes to suffer.But those kinds of things are obviously not going to happen, and they will definitely not let the lake tribe go, so they can only guard against them.

The days have returned to normal, this year's summer is hotter than in previous years, and the sweet potato fields are so dry that the soil is almost cracked.The woman took the children and used clay pots to water the farmer's geography again and again, but the river was a little far away from the field, and the people who went back and forth were exhausted to death.Chu Zhi regretted it, he would have farmed beside the small river if he knew it earlier.Fu frowned, and discussed with the men to bring the water from the small river here, and got everyone's approval.

After pouring water, Chu Zhi was so tired that he was covered in sweat. He licked his dry lips. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to dig a well, otherwise it would be good to dig a well.The water in the well is warm in winter and cool in summer. I remember that when he was a child, he would often put watermelons in bamboo baskets and put them in the well to eat when he came back at night.It's a pity that drilling a well is a technical job, and Chu Zhi didn't dare to take the risk. It would be terrible if half of the well was drilled and collapsed.

The days go by day by day, everyone is busy running around for their families, and the days are full and happy.Because everyone understands that the current efforts are for themselves and for their families.As long as you hunt and work hard, you can eat better than others.Even those people in attendance had to join the hunting team after they had no food.Even if they had less food than others, at least they knew they had to work.Fu was very satisfied with this, and even praised Qin in public.Although there are still some people who are dissatisfied with people like Qin, it doesn't matter if they are all neighbors.

Winter has entered in a blink of an eye. This winter is the first winter after private ownership, and everyone has an indescribable excitement.I always feel that my own home is better prepared than other homes, and later each home has prepared more things than in previous years. Fu has nothing to say about this kind of comparison.Winter is still sad for everyone, and it is good to be able to prepare more things now.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the women put away sweet potatoes and corn and put them in the cellar, and a thick layer of hay is also spread in the chicken pen and sheep pen.Because of the relationship between iron meteorites and bamboo, there are more traces of humans in the woods to the west, and fewer and fewer wild animals.In recent years, almost as long as women come here, most of the men are out hunting or something.

We picked a lot of chestnuts and wild apples, and now we need less and less things.More and more things are planted in the tribe, so that the accessories that are not the main food, such as chestnuts and apples, are favored by the majority of women compatriots.Except for those who have not cultivated the land, most people will pick some nuts and the like, and go back to make snacks.

"Is Chu Zhi tired?" Sexi rubbed Chu Zhi's calf with a smile. Chu Zhi liked to be lazy since he was a child. Compared with his peers, Chu Zhi still looked thinner.Fortunately, his health is not bad, and he doesn't even have a small cold all year round.Chu Zhi felt that it was thanks to the goat's milk, as long as the ewes had milk, Chu Zhi almost had a bowl every day.

"Let's go to the east and have a look." Chu Zhi got tired of wandering around, it's really boring to only come to such a piece of land every year.

"But, we haven't been there before, it's too dangerous." Se was a little worried. The forest to the east was huge, and if he encountered a beast, he might not be able to protect Chu Zhi by himself.

"That's not easy." Chu Zhi smiled maliciously, and shook his hand at Lie who was not far away: "Lie, there are delicious food here!"

Sure enough, he ran to this side fiercely, followed by Xiao Shengzi.Chu Zhi held back his bellyful of laughter. Over the years, he could tell that Sheng's feelings for Lie were not simply brotherhood.As he grew older, Sheng looked at Lie with eyes that wished to swallow people directly, that is to say, Lie foolishly didn't know anything, and kept screaming and running to Sheng all day long.

"No?" Lie looked around, and saw chestnuts and pine nuts, some wild fruits and red hawthorns in the bamboo basket behind Chu Zhi, and taro, sweet potatoes and some corn in the red bamboo basket.

"There are none here, but there are quite a few in the woods to the east. Xiao Lie, as advanced people in the tribe, we should have an enterprising heart and a bold and fearless spirit, you know?" Chu Zhi jumped, brother They both patted Lie on the shoulder.

Sheng in the back couldn't help but stare at Se, obviously telling Se to go home and teach his wife a lesson.Se shrugged and smiled helplessly.With Chu Zhi's temper, he didn't dare to provoke him, otherwise he wouldn't have a bed to sleep at home.

"But the east side is very dangerous. My mother told me that I can't go there." After all, Lie was still a child, and he had a little longing for those unknown places.But he was really worried, what would happen if their children were in danger?

"Lie, as a tribe, how can we look ahead and look backward? As a young man, we can't grow flesh without courage, can we?" Chu Zhi continued to lobby. He saw that the forests in the east were quite lush, and he had long wanted to go and have a look. Lo and behold.

In the end, the four discussed it, and Se and Sheng took two bows and arrows and left.The further east we go, the denser the woods become, and a few people dare not go far. It is only about 2000 meters.Because no one has ever been to the woods in the east, the woods are extraordinarily quiet.

"What are these? Are they red fruits?" Lie looked curiously at some dry red things on the ground.

Chu Zhi and Se also surrounded him, Chu Zhi smiled when he saw the whole face.What red fruit and green fruit, this is clearly chili.And it is still dried chili, because it has not been picked, so most of it fell to the ground after natural ripening, and after being exposed to the sun, it formed a natural dried chili.It's a pity that part of it is still rotten, Chu Zhi's heart aches.Comrade Chu Zhi has automatically regarded these as his own property. Several people picked up a lot of dried peppers, and Chu Zhi directly pulled out a few pepper seedlings, planning to go back and plant them.Chili, Chu Zhi was drooling thinking about it, this thing came at the right time.

Chu Zhi originally wanted to go further east, but was stopped by other people, so Chu Zhi could forget it after thinking about it.After all, the danger factor in the woods is very high, and I have already risked myself here.

The four continued to check around, Chu Zhi was in a group with Se, and Xiao Lie was in a group with Sheng.Chu Zhi put a lot of dried chili peppers in his back basket, and because he was worried about losing them, he deliberately wrapped them with big leaves from nearby trees.Chu Zhi is very happy in his heart, why is our character so good?How about getting a hot pot back home, boil chili into spicy oil to eat, the taste must be... no, there is no vegetable oil here, or use animal oil.

"Chu Zhi, it's very strange here." Seriously, he held Chu Zhi back from moving forward, and even took a few steps back.

It was only now that Chu Zhi realized it, and was taken aback by the strange expression. "What's the matter, what's the matter? Don't worry, I'm here." Comrade Chu Zhi yelled, and his small body insisted on jumping back a few steps.

"Look at the field in front of you, there is nothing there." Se cautiously stared at a low-lying open space in front of him. There were obviously a lot of weeds and dead branches growing around, but there were only sparse growths in that area. A few, just like the hair on a bald man's head, those few grasses can almost be seen.

Chu Zhi also felt strange, this place is really special, why is that the only piece of land that doesn't grow "hair".Comrade Chu Zhi and Xiao Shaizi still had a good understanding, and now they thought of Baldy.

Chu Zhi didn't have as many scruples as Xiao Shaizi. At first, he wondered if there were any poisonous snakes around.But then I thought about it, even if it really exists, I can't harm a piece of land. I thought about whether there would be a cemetery. Didn't people say that there is no "hair" on the top of the cemetery.Chu Zhi smirked, at this level of education, people die the most, so they will find a place to bury them.

Chu Zhi stood on one side and observed carefully, and found that the terrain of this land was much lower than others.There are no tall trees even near the land, it is all grass and weeds.

Chu Zhi thought about what he had learned before, but he couldn't figure out why for a long time.Seeing that it was not too early, I pulled the color and walked back.But after walking a few steps and turning back, he felt that he might really know what it was.

Salt land, it must be salt land.Surprise flashed in Chu Zhi's eyes, and he directly pulled Xiao Dianzi to the center of the field.After digging a little bit of soil with a branch, Chu Zhi stretched out his tongue and licked it slightly, and a bitter salty taste immediately permeated the tip of his tongue.Sure enough, it was a salt field. This place must be a naturally formed salt field. He didn't know the specific reason, but it eventually caused this land to gradually contain huge salt.

"Chu Zhi, what's the matter?" Seeing that Chu Zhi was actually licking the dirt, he quickly took out the jar and gave Chu Zhi a sip of clean water. "Spit it out, Chu Zhi, you can't eat soil."

"Bah bah." Chu Zhi spit out the dirt in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "I'm smarter than you. Of course this dirt can't be eaten, but the things in the dirt can be eaten."

"What?" Se couldn't understand, something in the soil?There is something in the soil.

Chu Zhi stood up and clapped his hands. Anyway, this salt field will not be lost, so Chu Zhi decided not to talk about it, maybe it will be useful in the future.Just as they were thinking about it, Lie's voice came over. The two of them were startled and thought that Lie and the others were in danger, so they ran over quickly.

In the end, Lie smiled with a scheming face, and showed Chu Zhi the little yellow doudou in his hand: "Chu Zhi, look, there are many such things here."

Chu Zhi felt that the woods in this primitive society were so powerful that there were even things like soybeans.Soybeans are a good thing. Not only can they be cooked and eaten, but they can also be made into tofu and tofu.

"This is called soybeans. It's a pity we don't have a stone mill." Chu Zhi said helplessly while collecting with everyone.

"Stone mill? What is that?" Lie asked curiously.

"A kind of stone, you can... wait a minute." Chu Zhi was pleasantly surprised, yes, he can make a stone mill by himself.And now there are mules at home, grinding tofu and so on is really possible.

Thinking about it this way, Chu Zhi's hands and feet became faster, and it took them two hours to collect soybeans.When Gui and the others came to find them, almost half of their bamboo baskets were soybeans.

The adults had never seen soybeans before, and they picked a lot after seeing Chu Zhi and the others.Chu Zhi felt that today's battle was a victory, and the quality of the rewards was quite good.Soybeans and chili, this is simply a must-have at home.

But these don't matter, his mind is full of stone mills now.The best material for the stone mill is granite, but bluestone can also be used if it is not possible.Chu Zhi remembered that grandma's house was made of granite. I heard that grandma said that the stone mill was her dowry when she was young.Grandma said that the reason why this stone is good is because it will not drop stone powder when grinding things, and the stone is very hard.And there are many stones in the tribe, why?Because the raw material for making stone knives is granite.

Chu Zhi raised his head 45 degrees and looked at the sky melancholy. No wonder people say that the heights are extremely cold. He has such an extraordinary head.What if someone misses you?Chu Zhi decided to let Xiao Sizi take good care of himself in the future. It is not impossible for someone like himself to be kidnapped.Later, when Chu Zhizhen was kidnapped, he realized that there was something more annoying than a crow in this world, and that was the crow's mouth.

Chu Zhi and Se talked about this once, and Se said on the spot that he would always protect Comrade Chu Zhi and expressed his loyalty.Se felt that Chu Zhi's head was really different from everyone else's, kidnapping?how can that be possible?If he really wanted to kidnap, he must be the first person to kidnap Chu Xiaozhi.

Se also has a lot of troubles recently, and he will be 16 years old after the new year.The tribe is an adult at the age of 16 and can live separately from their parents.The color has been worrying about this for the past few days. If the adults agree, the child can still live with the family until the child marries a wife and has his own partner before separating.

Ke Se vaguely felt that Chu Zhi didn't like living with his father and mother very much, if he could, he would like to live alone.But Chu Zhi was only 15 years old. If the two of them lived separately from their parents, the living conditions would naturally not be the same as they are now.Is Chu Zhizhi suffering?Color expressed concern.

While Chu Zhi was busy looking for a good stone, Fu found Se first.Fu has been thinking about this for the past few days. When the tribe started building houses, they deliberately left a lot of empty houses.It is for the children who will be separated in the future to live. All the adults in the tribe agree with this matter.After all, it is not that simple for a child to officially live independently.They are travelers who have suffered more than ordinary people. They hope their children can live a better life.

"Se, what do you think?" Fu asked directly.

"Father, I think..." Se bit her lip, and finally seemed to make up her mind. "I want to live separately with Chu Zhi. Anyway, in a tribe, we will live well."

"You should discuss this matter with Chu Zhi first." Fu frowned and said, he was not worried about the life of sex.Mainly Chu Zhi, he was pampered until now but he can't even hunt.Coupled with the fact that he always hoped that Se could have a normal life, no matter how capable Chu Zhi was, he would not be able to have children.

"En." Se may not have known before, but now she naturally knows what father and mother are thinking.Even if he had no heirs, he still wanted Chu Zhi, and it would be good for him and Chu Zhi to live together in the future.

"Se, I know you like Chu Zhi, but have you thought about your future life?" Fu sighed. He knew his own child, and Se's stubbornness was a good thing, but it was also a bad thing. "Se, you..., hey, forget it."

"Father, I want Chu Zhi." Se clenched his fists and looked at Fu firmly and resolutely.

"Are you sure?" Fu never gave up but said lustfully.

"Yes, I'm sure, I like Chu Zhi, I want him." Se's face was serious and persistent like never before.

When Chu Zhi came back at night, he found out that the air pressure in the house was low.After eating dinner, Chu Zhi retreated to his room. The quilt had already been laid out. This winter will definitely be warmer than previous years.

Se didn't come back until almost midnight, he just went to Sheng's side, and Sheng is also 16 years old this year, and he is also worrying about whether to split up.

"Chu Zhi." Se took off her clothes and got into the quilt directly.

Chu Zhi muttered coldly: "You sucked all my heat away, idiot." I have held my heat for a long time, what a loss, what a loss.

"Chu Zhi, let's split up and live alone." It took a long time before he spoke.

"Ah?" Chu Zhi sat up slowly, did he hear wrongly.
