Primitives are stunned

Chapter 40 On The Road

In this era, every birth in the clan will tightly grasp the hearts of the clansmen.More than [-]% of pregnant women and fetuses will die in dystocia.

Fortunately, after more than three hours of delivery, the fetus was finally born safely.When they got the news that the mother and child were safe, the clan members happily sang the Dafeng song to celebrate.

Wang Hao sent a bowl of caviar soup made with mushrooms to supplement nutrition for pregnant women.Most of the animal skins in the clan were given to them to keep warm.

A simple animal skin stretcher was made overnight by Wang Hao, and the journey will not stop because of the birth. Tomorrow, the child and mother will be carried and walked by the tribe in the warm animal skin stretcher.

The shrill beast howl lasted all night. It was the scream of a wild beast that wanted to attack the camp after being shot by a bow and arrow before dying.Fortunately, people in the wilderness are used to hearing beast roars, and they can still sleep peacefully in such an environment.

In the morning, the clansmen woke up from their dreams with their stiff limbs moving.The prey shot to death last night became everyone's breakfast, and the clansmen who had been frozen all night now urgently needed to eat a lot to supplement their calories.

Wang Hao dipped a piece of animal skin in hot water to help the patriarch wipe his sore legs. After a night of freezing, the patriarch's legs hurt so badly that he could hardly stand up in the morning.

After breakfast, the clansmen set off again, and Wang Hao ran to see the newborn born yesterday.It was a boy, with a small wrinkled face and his eyes still closed, he teased him with his fingers, and then Wang Hao's fingers were grabbed by the child and sent into his mouth.

The child was healthy and was held in his mother's arms without crying or fussing.It's just that his mother is a little haggard.

When asked what the child's name should be, his mother said that she hadn't decided yet.However, his father was killed in the monster siege, and the child was still young and was born in Wangcun. She wanted the patriarch to give the child the surname Wang.

Changing the surname is not a trivial matter in Dahuang, but after discussing it with the patriarch, Wang Hao still agreed.

After yesterday's sun exposure, the muddy ground of the Great Desolation finally dried up, and the clansmen also quickened their pace.The journey was smoother than everyone had imagined, except for some small beasts, basically no advanced creatures were encountered.When the sun rose above the head and turned westward, everyone finally arrived at the destination, a plain on the edge of a large forest.

The terrain of this plain is very high, so there is no need to fear that the houses of the clansmen will be flooded during the summer flood season.To the north is a big river flowing from east to west, and to the east is a vast forest. Looking at the huge trees in the forest, Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction. This forest will provide the greatest convenience for the development of the village.

At the edge of the forest, Wang Hao found an open space and buried the stele in the ground with his own hands.In order to easily distinguish the location of the stele, he planted a pine tree on it.Wang Hao still has reservations about the statement that the stele can protect the village.However, he was quite curious about how the words on the stone tablet came from, and how the clansmen's surnames came about.

Arriving at a new place, for the new home, the clansmen have been busy.

Twenty strong archers centered on the pine tree with the stone tablet below, divided into five groups of four, holding strong bows and iron swords, and pushed towards the southwest.Their task today is to wipe out all the beasts near the village.

In the past, this was an impossible task. The beasts were not afraid of people. When people came, they might run away, but when people left, they would come back.The biggest threat to the children in the village are the beasts that come and go.

A distance of more than 20 meters is just right for them.It will not be attacked by these hairless monsters, but also leave a suitable distance to escape, and you can observe these hairless monsters at close range.

But today, the previous rules on this plain were broken.

A group of lions were full and lay lazily on the ground looking at several hairless monsters 50 meters away.As for the hairless monsters, they have long been taught, and they are not easy to entangle, each of them has amazing strength, if they get hit by their stone axes, it will not be easy.They don't want to make trouble when they are full.Seeing these hairless monsters getting closer and closer, the lions did not panic, and it would not be too late for us to get up and leave when they were 20 meters away.

If in the past, these experiences are correct, but today it will not work.Fifty meters away, deadly feathered arrows flew over, and in a blink of an eye, three lions were killed on the spot.

The Lion King grasped the feather arrow in his chest in vain, feeling the severe pain in his body, he finally raised his head to the sky and roared.This is telling the lions, run, run as far as possible.

Wang Hu looked at the group of lions who were scattered and fled far away, and felt the changes brought about by tools, so he couldn't help but roared up to the sky.He believed that in the future, this great wilderness must be dominated by human beings.

In the past, if you want to catch a lion, you have to cooperate with ten clansmen to surround the lion, but now, even one person with a bow and arrow can kill a lion from 50 meters away.

They are not the only strong archers who feel the convenience brought by tools.There are also tribesmen mowing grass near the stele.In the past, it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to use stone flakes to mow grass. Often even a stone flake was smoothed, and it may not be possible to mow much grass.

But now, with daggers, these daggers not only cut meat faster, but also cut grass faster.With one strike of the sword, the long and tough thatch fell down.

Wang Hao told them that it was placed on the roof to keep out the rain, and the people of the tribe didn't know what the roof was, but they knew what it was to keep out the rain.Sitting on the muddy ground in the cold rain the night before felt like they never wanted to try again.So each of them worked very hard.Wang Hao also said that he would get them something called a sickle in two days. With that thing, the speed of mowing grass will be faster than now, and it will be more comfortable than using a dagger.

The clansmen all opened their eyes wide and imagined what a sickle would look like. They were already very satisfied with cutting the grass with a dagger. If they changed to a sickle that was faster than a dagger, they couldn't imagine how happy they would be.

Those who enjoy happiness before the people who mow the grass belong to the people who go to the forest to cut wood.

The latest technology Wang Hao downloaded was the saw.

Ordinary iron ore, through systematic processing, becomes extremely hard alloy iron.The ax has changed from the main force of cutting trees in the past to something that can only be used to remove branches.Clansmen will compare.When it is found that the saw is less labor-saving than the axe, it is natural to abandon the axe and replace it with a saw.

Wang Hao once again saw the strength of primitive people.When a strong woman came out of the forest holding a giant tree thicker than her waist, Wang Hao gave them a new title.That's the Human Timbersaw.

The only tool that has not changed is probably the fishing rod for fishing by the river.

The same purple bamboo, the same bamboo slices, after being splashed with blood, as soon as it touches the water, big fish will pounce on it and swallow it into their mouths.

While lamenting how stupid these fish that have never been caught before, Wang Hao wondered how long it would take to catch these fish with bamboo chips.At that time, if you don’t want to change the iron hook, then change the fishing net.

The great business of making salt cannot be stopped.A canal led from the river to the camp.At the end of the canal, there are several large pits connected together.This is the result of an afternoon's labor of the clansmen.Primitive people have nothing else but strength.With the help of the shovel, these salt pools were dug out faster than Wang Hao imagined.

After the village was moved, the distance to the salt lake was even closer. The patriarch decided that tomorrow morning, he would send someone to carry the salt stones. When there was no way to extract the salt, he didn’t think so. Since the tribe began to use salt, the patriarch discovered that Without salt, many things cannot be done.

Salt is needed to boil food, salt is needed to marinate salted fish, salt is needed to sell skins, and even the water for cleaning wounds, Wang Hao said that it is best to use some salt.
