back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 24
After weaving a few bamboo cages and baskets, Lin Yu has become very proficient at weaving bamboo weaving. Lan Hua began to teach her how to sew clothes, using long and thin bone needles to sew pieces of animal skins of different animals together. .

Lanhua touched the savage's thin coat, looked at her with more pity, put the animal skin, bone needles and thread into her hands, and said, "I don't know which tribe you used to be from, don't you even know how to sew clothes?" Will it? How can you survive the cold in such thin clothes?"

Lin Yu couldn't understand at all, so he could only nod his head.

Lan Hua took her hand, put it on the fur of the hare, and asked, "Is it warm?"

"Warm... heh..."

"Warm." Lan Hua corrected her pronunciation.

"warm."

Lin Yu stroked the fur of the hare, and guessed that the word probably meant warmth and comfort.

Lan Hua thought in her heart: This wild woman's hands are really delicate, they don't even have any calluses.

Mint, who is pregnant with Liujia and has a high belly, smiled and said: "Why are you telling her so much, she can't understand."

But Lan Hua said: "It is precisely because I don't understand that I have to talk more. If I talk a lot, I will gradually understand. You will understand when you have a child."

Among all the women, Shu Lanhua had the most children, and she was also the most unlucky. Her children either died young, or suffered from serious diseases or physical defects, and had to be abandoned. Only the owl survived healthy and healthy.

The women sit together, chatting while working, the men are much quieter, they do their own thing, some are polishing weapons, some are making bows and arrows, and some are adjusting fishing rods...

The children are among the women, and the older ones learn to weave and sew from their mothers, or learn to make all kinds of gadgets with birch bark that is flexible, anti-corrosion and moisture-resistant, and the younger ones use the spinning wheel to spin the plant fibers. Spun into twine.

Tian and Xiao were also sitting among the women, which surprised her a little. After all, judging from their appearance and physique, they are already very mature. Is it because they developed early and their actual age is not that old?

To her relief, Xiao finally stopped harming her mobile phone and was weaving something with hemp rope.

Lin Yu raised his ears, not letting go of every sentence of the conversation.

She memorized the vocabulary corresponding to common things in the tribe, such as bamboo, stone, various animals, fire, water, trees, etc., and the words derived from it such as bamboo cage, bamboo basket, bamboo pole, stone axe, stone knife , fur, claws, bones, heat, cold, foliage, etc., her ears can also distinguish.

But it's nowhere near understanding the babbling conversations of wildlings.

She tried to communicate with Lan Hua in simple Chinese, and the results showed that only a few words seemed to have pronunciations similar to Chinese, and once a conversation started, it was like a chicken talking to a duck.

This was rather strange, and she couldn't help but suspect that she hadn't traveled abroad at all, or that she was in Southeast Asia not far away, and that's why she was influenced by Chinese.

But the geographical environment and climatic conditions here are obviously inconsistent with Southeast Asia...

At this time, she suddenly heard someone yelling in a straight voice: "Shoes!"

Another Chinese word.

Xiao excitedly held up his knitted "shoes" to show off to the brothers, sisters and aunts present.

Everyone looked at each other, Honghua asked in surprise, "Shoes? What are those?"

Xiao took out the canvas shoes worn by Lin Yu, pointed to her feet and said, "Her feet don't have calluses because she wears shoes! There are also socks! Hey, where are the socks?"

Xiao didn't find the real thing, so he said: "Socks can be made of animal skins, it's very simple!"

Everyone looked at their calloused and chilblained feet, and at Lin Yu's smooth feet, as if they were looking at the before and after comparison pictures in the advertisement. After wearing the shoes, the effect was obvious, and the women were very excited.

With so many people staring at his feet, Lin Yu felt a little uncomfortable, slowly crossed his legs, and curled his dirty feet under his thighs to hide them.

Zhang Tian was sitting next to Xiao, and witnessed Xiao's whole process of weaving the world's first pair of straw sandals from scratch. Ears, heels and laces are, at best, insoles.

Xiao stepped on the insole under his feet, tied the insole and feet together with hemp rope, and took two steps with his legs, and he really didn't feel that his feet were worn out!
The women found that the shoes made by Xiao were obviously different from the shoes worn by the wild women, so they also used their brains and brainstormed ideas.

Their weaving skills were much better than Xiao Xiao's, and they quickly made shoe noses, shoe ears, heels and shoelaces, and a pair of serious straw sandals was born.

Xiao randomly sewed a pair of socks out of animal skins, put on the socks, and then put on straw sandals. He walked around the campfire like flying, showing off his new shoes in aggressive poses from time to time, making the women giggle.

He ran around in front of the men again, deliberately raising his feet high, and the men were very surprised when they soon noticed the strangeness on his feet.

The children were envious and clamored that their feet were cold and their feet hurt, and they had to wear socks and shoes. The children stayed in the cave for a long time, and their feet had not been damaged, so they needed the protection of shoes and socks.

The women immediately went to work, and more footwear was made.

Lin Yu watched all this in amazement, she never thought that her shoes and socks would bring such a huge change to this primitive tribe.

Do I count as promoting the progress of civilization?

She suddenly felt that this group of rough savages seemed to be pursuing a better life, even though they were unwilling to integrate into modern society.

I might be able to help, with what I've learned!

This is undoubtedly the fastest way to gain the trust and friendship of primitive people.

Lin Yu was thinking about where to start, when he saw people suddenly get up and walk out of the cave.

She followed in confusion.

The night sky is low, the sky is full of stars, and a crescent moon hangs high in the sky. The moonlight tonight is extraordinarily bright, illuminating the mountains and forests near and far.

She was surprised to find that everyone looked up at the sky and muttered to themselves.

The strong man named Hutou was the loudest: "Yesterday we prayed to the sky, and today we succeeded in killing the bear! Hope tomorrow, no, I hope there will be meat in the future!"

They worship the sky?Or worship the moon, the stars?
[Faith value: 30]

Yesterday's prayer was fulfilled, and six more people became followers of the sky. Zhang Tian counted, and there were only 18 people left in the tribe who were not believers. Most of them were children, and there might be a few stubborn old people.

If you want to further increase your belief value, you can only fool other tribes.

Each tribe has its own territory, and they seldom communicate with each other. People who want to meet other tribes have to wait until the tribal meeting.

Grandma said that there is still some time before the tribal meeting, but now that the temperature has dropped sharply, the high latitudes may have turned into a piece of permafrost. Maybe it won’t take that long before giant beasts such as mammoths and woolly rhinos will migrate to the south. In the crisis of food shortage, nearby tribes will inevitably unite to hunt these large herbivores.

Until then, stockpile enough food to prepare for migration.

Back at the cave, take a seat by the campfire, and then tell stories to your tribe.
