survival in the wilderness

Chapter 5 Tinder
Huahong held the fish in one hand, and hugged Lin Yan in the other, talking to Lin Yan while walking back.

In fact, she also knew that Lin Yan had just survived a cold season and was still very young, but since her daughter asked, she should tell her this early.

It turns out that the Sun Tribe respects the mother and lives in groups of matriarchs.

The women in the tribe, the more children they gave birth to survive, the larger the family group.

If there are more people, they will naturally occupy the territory by the river.

And Huahong's mother died early, and her father didn't care about her. She grew up on her own and could only occupy a place on the edge.

In the Sun Tribe, the more women in a family, the higher the status.

Women can give birth and give birth to more next generations, so women are respected.

The males of the tribe live by hunting, and in order to continue the next generation, they often wander around.

Of course, in a family with many women, apart from the boys born in the family, it is also the choice for most men to attach themselves to.

To put it simply, it is a family where women are respected. The mother of the child is very sure, but the father is not sure who it is.

It has been six cold seasons since they migrated to this place, and this period is relatively stable.

The food that the men of the tribe hunted was distributed by the families from which the men came.Families with the largest number of people also occupy the most resources.

Generally, fertile females are given priority for food, followed by strong males, who are out hunting.

The older children and the remaining women are next, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are placed last.

Huahong already belongs to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. She is old and can conceive again, which surprised many people.

Lin Yan asked Fat Bao to calculate the age of the bonus, but at only 30 years old, he was already old, weak, sick and disabled.

Huahong is actually very happy, Lin Yan's birth gave her hope.

Lin Yan is a girl, as long as she can grow up safely, she will have someone to rely on.

If it is a boy, he will go to another family to carry on the next generation when he grows up. If he is very powerful, he will have limited care for her mother, so he can barely survive.

After listening to A Niang's words, Lin Yan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

A Niang is treating her as a life-saving straw. If she can't survive, A Niang will be miserable in her old age.

She hugged Huahong's neck tightly and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of you when I grow up."

"Hahaha, good." Huahong smiled happily. This child is indeed smart and unique, and she sees infinite possibilities.

At the door of the house, Lin Yan said, "Aniang, I want to stay outside, it's too dark in the cave."

Huahong readily agreed, and let her crawl and play on the ground alone, and deal with the fat fish by herself.

When she saw the fat fish just now, she distractedly glanced at the Science and Technology Museum, and heard Fat Bao's voice.

"Original grass carp has been detected, it has been included, and the reward contribution value is 3."

Lin Yan lay on the broken animal skin that had just wrapped her, and casually covered himself with the big canna leaves that he had just picked.

After A Niang put her down, she was naked.

"Pang Bao, these weeds are also new species, why are there no rewards?"

In Lin Yan's view, everything here is primitive and should be different from the genes of later generations.

Fat Bao: "Weeds have been tested, and the genetic similarity has reached more than 95%, so they are not included in the collection."

Lin Yan suddenly understood, "Only when the genetic similarity is below 95%, will it be included, right?"

Fat Bao: "Yes. If a new species is discovered, the reward contribution value depends on the situation, and is generally very high."

Lin Yan understood that her primary goal now was to learn to walk without having to walk on all fours.

During the boring time in the cold season, she read a lot of books, and based on the current situation, she made a plan.

Once she can walk and move, she can begin to implement the plan.

Her plan is very clear, the first thing to solve is fire, she doesn't want to eat raw flesh and blood.

She is almost six months old now, besides drinking milk, my mother will feed her some wild fruits, which are sour and sweet and delicious.

After a few months, weaning, it is estimated that they will eat meat.

After working hard for more than ten days, Lin Yan learned to walk.Although he staggered, his legs could be upside down and he wouldn't fall down.

Before the joy of learning to walk was over, Hua Hong took out a piece of fresh meat and fed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan firmly refused, she only ate wild fruits.

Hua Hong persuaded: "If you can walk, you have to eat meat, or you will lose your strength. It's for your own good, A Niang."

"Aniang, I want to eat fruit, not meat." Lin Yan said with a bitter face, "Aniang, is the meat delicious?"

"..." Huahong was silent for a while, "Meat smells bad, but eating it can make your body stronger. If you don't eat meat, you won't grow up."

"Aniang, I don't want to eat right now, I'll eat it when I feel like it, okay?"

The bonus has no choice but to accept it.But she didn't give up, insisted on feeding every day, but she didn't succeed once.

Under such persecution, Lin Yan stepped up the process, constantly experimenting with how to successfully ignite the fire.

If there is no fire, she will be driven crazy by A Niang.

She found many ways to obtain fire from the book. The first thing she tried was to drill wood to make fire, but she tried many times without success.

Then it hit it with a stone, preparing to rub it to catch fire, and a few sparks splashed sporadically.

After tossing for more than ten days, there is no progress.

Practice is much more difficult than theory.

Lin Yan had to revise the plan, looked up at the increasingly hot sun, and she had a new idea.

With short legs, I collected a pile of flammable fireweed, white thatch, dry leaves, etc., found a large stone slab and stacked them together, and exposed them to the sun.

After five days in the sun, she filled the stone slabs with dead branches and leaves to prepare for the follow-up.

Rubbing the weeds and leaves that had been exposed to the sun for several days with his hands, they were very dry and would shatter with a little effort. Lin Yan felt that the time had come.

While Huahong was resting, she pulled A Niang over, handed over two rough stones the size of palms, and let Huahong rub hard on the stone slabs.

Although Hua Hong was puzzled, but seeing her daughter insisting on making a fire, she happened to play with her when she had nothing to do.

The two mothers tossed and tossed for a long time, and they both produced a little spark. The sun was shining, and it was so hot that they were dying, so they had to rest for a while.

Huahong found a red apple, took a big bite to make her daughter grind her teeth, and ate the rest by herself.

Looking at the apple petal in Xiao Hei's hand, Lin Yan really didn't know whether to eat it or not.

Auntie is too careless.

Huahong saw that her daughter only watched and didn't eat, and didn't care. This daughter is indeed different from ordinary children.

Often alone in a daze, not knowing what to think, frowning from time to time, and talking to himself from time to time.

Huahong didn't pay much attention, she just wanted to make sure the child wasn't hungry.

After the rest, Lin Yan pestered A Niang to continue lighting the fire.

After almost half an hour, a few sparks finally fell from the pile of dried leaves after being exposed to the sun, and a small flame ignited.

Huahong looked amazing, just about to touch it with his hand, the flame suddenly grew bigger in the blink of an eye.

A heat wave rushed towards her face, Hua Hong was squatting, and sat down on the ground in shock.

He shouted involuntarily, "Skyfire, it's Skyfire."

After shouting, he immediately realized that his daughter was still there, picked up Lin Yan, and ran more than ten meters away.

Looking back at the burning flames, her eyes were full of horror.
