primitive survival evolution

Chapter 8 The Simple Life
The morning glow is brilliant, sprinkled like pieces of gold, bathing people lazily.
The dense fog in the valley gradually dissipated, and the thunderous sound of falling water remained.

On the high ground above the Yinchuan River, several huge Diplodocus flowed across the water. The high ground is a plain with many giant beasts, which is a dangerous place.

A huge rainbow spanned the entire valley, and several Fengshen pterosaurs as huge as airplanes passed by, leaving a large shadow on the ground of the Taka tribe.

There are many prehistoric giant beasts in and out of the mountain. Sometimes there are fierce beasts roaring from high places, and there are also many poisonous insects dormant, which are extremely terrifying.

The prehistoric environment was extremely harsh, with many ferocious beasts, birds and poisonous insects. For food and survival, many human beings died prematurely in the wilderness before reaching adulthood. Those who survived had strong bodies or rich survival experience.

Taka tribe.

The cave is the place where the tribe's high-level people live. The tribe's witches, mus, and patriarchs live in it. There are various murals on the cave wall. The attack on the tribe the day before yesterday has been recorded on the wall. The murals in the cave are the towers. The past "history" of the Ka tribe.

After Li Yan woke up, he watched the murals for a while and then walked out of the cave.

The sun was dazzling, and he couldn't keep his eyes open.

Seven or eight bare-bottomed children ran around the tribe early in the morning, and one bear child was chasing the other children with a small wooden stick.

"Patriarch, patriarch."

"Big Mao bullied us."

These children even hid behind Li Yan, pointing at the brat in front of them to complain.

The children of the tribe are very naughty and wild, they always fight and fight, they are very difficult to teach, and they have to be taught a lesson every time.

Li Yan snatched the small wooden stick from the brat's hand, and suddenly felt something sticky in his hand.

Ok?
This look.

Lying in a groove.

It's not fun to play, but it's too disgusting and uncivilized to play shit.

Li Yan yelled at them repeatedly, and the children ran away in a panic.

He is not angry anymore, it is impossible to use modern common sense to understand their behavior, and it will take time to slowly educate the people here.

I grabbed and wiped the mud and sand on the ground, walked to the place where the tribe cooks, dipped some water from a clay pot and washed it dozens of times.

But there's still a little taste to it.

This is the place where the tribal people cook together. There are many pottery jars filled with water and some flint knives. A group of women are cooking breakfast.

On one side, a petite and well-proportioned tribal woman suddenly stood up and walked towards him with a smile.

This tribal woman wore a leopard skin skirt, her skin was a bit dark, she wore a ponytail, and she had a dimple when she smiled. She looked very cute.

In her hands was a bloody, skinned hare.

She showed her beige teeth, and smiled at Li Yan, "Hee hee, brother, I killed a rabbit this morning and made you your favorite barbecue."

This girl is Li Yan's own sister, because she often makes coquettish sounds, so she is called Ying, and the tribe takes Ta as their clan, and her full name is Ta Ying.

Li Yan couldn't help frowning, and asked angrily, "Ying, are you going down the mountain to hunt?"

Women in the primitive era were not only good at gathering, they were also good at hunting and even fighting. The distinction between men and women was not so obvious, and the word 'male' hadn't even appeared yet.

"Yeah." Sakura pouted and nodded, "I went with Tamar, she said you should eat well before leaving."

Tamar is Li Yan's cousin, several years older than Li Yan. Tamar's ability to survive in the wild is very strong, and Li Yan respects her very much.

"Okay, you go to barbecue, I want to get some stone tools."

Li Yan was relieved knowing that Tamar was with her, and didn't say anything. The wilderness is very dangerous. There are fierce birds in the sky, wild animals on the ground, poisonous snakes in the grass, and poisonous insects in the mud. If you don't pay attention, you will die.

"That's right." Sakura suddenly stopped her smile and looked serious.

"What's the matter?" Li Yan was puzzled, looking at her serious face, he thought something big had happened.

Sakura quietly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Brother, I want to fart."

Just finished speaking, there was a "poof".

"Oh..." Li Yanlian covered his nose, couldn't help frowning, pushed her away, and shouted: "Get out of here!"

"Hee hee." Ying Ying hurriedly ran back to continue processing the rabbit meat.

For this sister, Li Yan is very helpless, she has a bad habit, she will always come over to tell you very seriously before farting, and then "poof" as soon as she finishes speaking, and she always has a serious face .

These tribal people are not yet fully civilized, and they always do some strange things, but sometimes they can bring a lot of fun to a boring and dangerous life.

A few days ago, I met Wudang black witch and broke the stone stick, so I had to go to the stone tool cottage to get some new weapons.

The tribe has a special stone tool manufacturing department, which is a craftsman composed of disabled tribesmen.

Primitive humans knew the division of labor and cooperation very early. This is an important difference between humans and animals. In the primitive communist system, everyone has their own responsibilities, so everyone will have food. It is not that a person is disabled, and the tribe abandons him. , this cannot happen in primitive society, because everyone is related.

The most outstanding craftsman of the Taka tribe for polishing stone tools is Wen Ge.

Wen Ge was a man from the Wenga tribe who married into the Taka tribe many years ago. He has a disabled leg and cannot run, so he seldom goes out into the wild.

However, he has a strange hobby, that is, he likes to collect all kinds of stones. Every time someone goes out, he will ask others to bring back stones, but the tribesmen are not willing to talk to him.

The stone tools of the Taka tribe are ground stone tools, which is a sign of the Neolithic age.

Wen Ge's duty is to grind stone tools for the tribe. The stone axes and sticks that Li Yan usually uses are made by Wen Ge.

Wen Ge's craftsmanship is very good, it only takes three days to polish a piercing stone axe, two days faster than ordinary people, and the stone tools he makes are very exquisite.

"Go!"

Li Yan handed Wen Ge a handful of red powder brought back from the sacrifice yesterday, and said, "This powder should be able to make a new tool. You put it away first, and I will study it with you later."

Wen Ge usually has nothing to do. He likes to study all kinds of stones to see if the stones can make new tools to help the tribe.

"Isn't this Mu's red powder?" Wen Ge fetched a stone mortar to hold the iron ore powder, and couldn't help wondering: "This red powder is used to sacrifice the dead clansmen. What kind of tools can be made with such a thin thing?"

"I want to smelt iron, like Mu's golden knife." Li Yan thought of the bronze knife that Mu hid.

That bronze knife is a big discovery, at least it proves that humans in this era are in an important stage of transformation from matriarchal clan society to patrilineal clan society.

But as far as Li Yan knew, neither the Taka tribe nor its nearby tribes knew how to smelt copper. Perhaps only the tribe with the surname of the great chief knew how to make copperware.

When Wen Ge heard this, he immediately became interested, and carefully hid the red powder in the hut where the stone tools were stored, as if afraid of being seen by others.

Li Yan smiled again: "Ge, my tool is broken, I'm going to Funiu Mountain later, I want a stone pick and a stone axe."

"Yeah." Wen Ge quickly ran into the stone hut behind him to search.

Finally, he came out with a "T"-shaped stone pick and a stone axe. These two tools were ground with hard flint and were very beautifully made.

A stone pick is a great tool for chopping down trees or digging up vegetation, and can be used as a weapon if necessary.

After taking these two tools, Mu Lian called Li Yan over there.
