primitive survival evolution

Chapter 24 Stone Plow
The person in charge of inheriting farming techniques in the tribe is Bai Wu, Li Yan's mother.

During the period of matriarchal society, many technologies were only passed on to women but not to men.

If Mu of a tribe dies, Bai Wu will replace Mu of this tribe, and one of Bai Wu's daughters will be promoted to the position of Bai Wu. For example, Li Yan's younger sister Ying is the next successor of Bai Wu. In life, knowledge is passed from one generation to the next.

Similarly, the male patriarch and the black witch are also passed down from generation to generation. Under special circumstances, such as the death of the black witch, the brother of the patriarch will be replaced. Just let him be.

After the meal, the tribal people gathered under the sacred tree. Mu told everyone to plant the land to make up for the vacancy left by the robbing of food by the Wudang people. Li Yan nodded in agreement, and the rest of the tribe also agreed, so everyone went to get farming tools .

Bai Wu and Sakura go to the cave to get the seeds.

Li Yan is responsible for distributing tools to the tribesmen.

This is his first time participating in tribal planting activities.

All the tools of the tribe are stored in the stone house, which is under the management of Wen Ge.

Wen Ge took everyone to the stone tool house,
He said, "Wait a minute."

Wen Ge usually takes a few children to grind stone tools, which is also one of the knowledge transfers. These children are Wen Ge's apprentices.

Wen Ge and these children ran to the stone tool house and took out tools one by one, such as stone picks, stone knives, and various kinds of Lei Lei.

"Patriarch, you come in."

Wen Ge's shout suddenly came from inside the room, and Li Yan walked in upon hearing it.

The light was dim, and the air smelled of carrion and grass mud.

The smell of rotting meat comes from the bones. There are many bones and bone objects inside, so it emits a bad smell. You can even see that there are many cockroaches and mice here. The environment here is a bit harsh.

Wen Ge picked up a few rotten bones, shook his head, and sighed: "Oh, these tools have not been used for a long time, and they are all broken. To make these bones, the shoulder bones of big animals are used, but our tribe has no shoulder bone."

"Really? Show me."

Li Yan took it, and when he squeezed it, the bones shattered and the wooden handle rotted.

In fact, all kinds of bone tools, stone tools, and wooden tools must be made of specific materials, and they cannot be made just by finding a piece of stone bone.

Li Yan thought for a while, then asked again: "Aside from shoulder bones, what else is missing?"

Wen Ge scratched his forehead and said with a smile: "The Wudang people attacked the tribe a few days ago, and the stone spears lost a lot. I also want some stone and wood for making stone spears."

Wen Ge has limited mobility, it is impossible for him to take the children out to collect materials, even in the valley it is not absolutely safe.

Li Yan nodded and said: "Okay, I will arrange three soldiers to accompany you to collect materials in two days. As for the problem of shoulder bones, I will take the hunting team out to hunt."

"Uh-huh."

Li Yan and Wen Ge moved the remaining farming tools outside the house.

Stone hoe, stone knife (a piece of wood tied with a stone knife), bone plow, Lei (tree branch), stone adze.
A total of more than 20 mining tools.

These tools are very primitive, and it takes a lot of effort to dig deep pits, so people generally only do shallow plowing.

Li Yan distributed these tools to every man and woman.

Ying and Bai Wu also took the seeds at this time, which were contained in a leather bag, and these small corn seeds were very full.

After harvesting grain every time, the White Witch would pick some plump seeds to keep.

Li Yan said: "Ying, you take them to farm first, I want to stay and make some tools with Wen Ge."

"Yeah." Sakura nodded.

Sakura took the men and women of the tribe out to farm, and there were only a few old people and children left in the tribe, as well as a few men who stayed in the tribe, such as Wen Ge and Hei Wu.

Wen Ge couldn't help asking: "Patriarch, shall we go collect stones now?"

"No." Li Yan shook his head, "I want to build a plow, which is a plow for farming. I need a big, flat, hard stone."

"Plow?" Wen Ge scratched his head, "Okay. Big and flat stone. Come in with me."

Wen Ge led Li Yan into the stoneware house again, and the house was in a mess.

He came to a pile of stones, pointed and said: "Patriarch, these stones are used to make stone picks, see if there is any suitable one."

After Li Yan approached, he squatted down, picked up a piece of stone for a closer look, and knocked on them to test their hardness.

Soon, he found a triangular flat stone with a few holes drilled in it, which was a good plowshare ready-made.

Seeing this, Wen Ge said, "I originally made this stone into a stone hoe, but unfortunately it was too big and heavy, and the tribesmen didn't want to use it after a few times. Patriarch, you are a Pangu warrior. It must be very suitable for you to use this stone hoe to dig the ground."

Li Yan held the stone, stood up, and said, "I want to drill a bigger hole in this stone tool, can you make it?"

"Yes." Wen Ge said without thinking.

So, Li Yan handed the stone to Wen Ge, and ran to the place where the tribe stored firewood.

There are a lot of dry logs piled inside and outside the firewood house, which are the firewood that the tribal people usually collect for cooking.

The firewood house is in a corner of the tribe, and there are all kinds of firewood inside and outside, and some of the firewood has not been finely chopped.

Li Yan soon found a suitable piece of wood.

It's a piece of wood attached to the trunk, in the shape of a plow, and it's obviously a good plow body.

Li Yan moved the log to the door of the stoneware house, while Wen Ge continued to grind the plowshare.

Get stone axes and stone chisels and start processing.

In the evening, Li Yan and Wen Ge finally assembled the stone plow.

At this time, the tribe members who went out to farm returned one by one. Because the planting area has been expanded, they will continue to farm tomorrow.

During dinner, Li Yan told everyone how to use the plow.

"Patriarch, are you saying that with this plow, we can use two people to do the work of thirty people?" Someone asked doubtfully.

The rest of the clansmen also looked at each other.

"That's right, put this plow behind Parasaurolophus, one person will hold the plow, and the other will pull Parasaurolophus, and let Parasaurolophus help plant the land." Li Yan said.

Beast volts are okay, but no tribe will use them for farming.

Everyone is skeptical.

"Alright, I'll show you how to plow once tomorrow morning." Li Yan said.

"Then I will be in charge of leading Parasaurolophus tomorrow." Tamar also said.

Since Li Yan's fish dam was successful, the clansmen began to pay more attention to Li's proposal. In fact, they still don't know whether this new tool has such a big effect.

The next morning.

The men and women of the tribe gathered by the river, beside the plowed fields.

Shi Li was tied behind Parasaurolophus, because Parasaurolophus was bigger and it had a huge tail, so Shi Li had to be far away.

"Come on, let's get started"
