You heard that right, 10 years, 10 years, 10 years without stopping.

In the face of cold storms and rain, we crossed the alpine swamps and walked for 10 spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The original bear children have become mature and stable adults. The men are dressed in animal skins and have fine stone tools in their hands. There are many scars on their bodies, and there are some time marks on the women's faces. A group of children, big and small, were constantly frolicing around.

After ten years, 101 people had become 132 people, including Jiang Chen, a total of 84 adults and 48 children.

A lot of things have changed, the only ones that remain the same are Jiang Chen and Jiang Xue. Their appearances have not changed in any way, they are still so young, and time has not left any traces on them.

It was hard work and expensive, but it was all worth it.

Looking at the infinite blue in the distance, listening to the sound of surging waves, and smelling the unique smell of the sea, Jiang Chen's eyes that seemed to contain countless wind and frost swords also revealed uncontrollable joy and excitement.

They have come, crossed countless distances, and walked on the road paved with blood and bones by the clansmen, and finally they have come!

"Guazis, here we are, this is the sea!"

Jiang Chen turned to face the crowd, opened his arms and shouted hoarsely.

The bear children froze for several minutes before throwing down their weapons, bacon, and fur, and rushed to the sea while crying and laughing.

The soft sand made many dashing people fall and eat shit, but no one cared, and the sand in their mouths continued to plunge into the sea with a silly roe deer-like smile.

The child recklessly raised the sea water to his little friend's face, and the water droplets that splashed into the air flashed colorful rays of light under the refraction of the sun, reflecting everyone's smiling faces.

"It's salty, it's really salty, the Lord is right, there really is an infinite sea of ​​salty tastes."

"Hahahaha, is this our future home?"

"That's right, this is our home, and we're finally here."

"How much water does this need? I don't have to look for a river every day. I drink it, gurgling gurgling..."

"Hiccup..., stop drinking, the more you drink, the more thirsty you become."

"..."

Jiang Chen was standing on a high place, and Jiang Xue was following him like a shadow. The two of them watched this scene quietly.

"Master, won't you say something at this time?"

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Now is indeed a good time to throw some chicken soup, but…

"Let them make trouble. It's too much of a disappointment for me to talk now. After 10 years of walking, they are tired enough. It's okay to vent."

When the words were finished, Jiang Chen was already lying on his back on the beach, listening to the sound of the ocean tide in the distance, and the laughter of the bear children, he unknowingly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This time he fell asleep with a smile, the first time in 10 years that he fell asleep with a smile.

Looking at Jiang Chen's tired smiling face, Jiang Xue also showed a distressed smile, and skillfully moved it to her thigh.

In the past ten years, no one knows better than her how much burden Jiang Chen has put on him. It is no exaggeration that this man's brain and body have not rested for a moment.

Go deep into the jungle during the day, try unknown herbs, look across the land to find crops that can be cultivated, and collect seeds.

In the evening, I teach languages, tell stories to everyone, encourage confused people, and exhaust their knowledge to build a civilized framework.

Don't look at their tribe's population in their early 100s, and one-third of them have children, but the sparrows are small but they have all the internal organs, medical treatment, hunting, tailoring, cooking, law, and even the framework of the historical field has already begun to take shape. Everyone has a different division of labor.

Even if it is still rough now, it is far more difficult to go from zero to one than from one to ten thousand. This shows what kind of miracle Jiang Chen has created.

No one better understands how great these things Jiang Chen has done than Jiang Xue, who has witnessed all this with his own eyes.

Yes, it is great, not exaggerated greatness at all.

Every time she wakes up in the middle of the night and looks at the figure with her eyes wide open and frowning at the bonfire, Jiang Xue has an indescribable self-blame in her heart.

She has not done enough, far from enough.

At this moment, the thousands of words in Jiang Xue's heart were all condensed into one simple sentence:

"Go to sleep, my great master."

Chapter 8 The Beginning of the Epic

With the passage of time, the sun has gradually sank into the sea level, it may be due to the wet and cold sea breeze, Jiang Chen frowned, and sat up with his arms supported.

"Jiang Xue, how long have I slept?"

"About five hours."

"Okay, let the gang of bear children stop. The night in the seaside area is far colder than in the inland. We should set up camp early today."

"By the way, give the children a few more furs, and the fire will burn more vigorously."

"Take out the stored food, today is a good day, don't save any more."

"Yes, my lord." Jiang Xue had already walked to the beach.

People big and small sat around a bonfire, women laughed and cooked the ingredients at hand, men built a simple version of animal skin tents, and children danced inexplicably around the bonfire.The jumping flames condensed little sparks in the sky and floated around.

After a sumptuous dinner was placed in front of everyone, Jiang Xuecai, who was sitting beside Jiang Chen, said solemnly:

"Okay, it's time to pray."

Everyone, including the children, consciously closed their eyes, put their hands together and bowed their heads, and the sound of prayers reverberated in the roaring waves.

"Thanks to my lord for giving us the flame."

"Thank you my Lord for giving us the flame." ×N

"Thanks to my Lord for giving us knowledge."

"Thanks my Lord for giving us knowledge." ×N

"Finally, thank my Lord for guiding us to find our new home."

"Thanks to my Lord for guiding us to find a new home." ×N

Although it wasn't the first time I heard it, Jiang Chen was still a little awkward at this moment.

The 'My Lord' in Jiang Xue's mouth is actually not God or something, but himself.

As early as the third year of the Great Migration, the tribe's initial beliefs appeared under the guidance of Jiang Chen.

After all, walking on a road with no purpose, no distance, and no idea how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, people will inevitably feel confused and fearful. impossible.

In the face of the tribe with low morale, the only way Jiang Chen could think of was to establish faith in people's hearts.

With belief, even if it's just false belief, people will have hope in the face of adversity.

However, the development of things seemed to be a bit unexpected by Jiang Chen. Initially, the object of his belief was the sun, but after it spread, it didn't have much effect at all.

Then Jiang Xue privately changed the object of belief to Jiang Chen himself. The most important thing was that people who had absolute loyalty to Jiang Chen accepted this setting instantly, and in a very short period of time, they all became as if they had found their home. Crazy believers, the kind that can't be changed.

This situation is also very understandable. Everything Jiang Chen has done is taken for granted in his own eyes, but in the eyes of others, it is undoubtedly similar to a miracle.

A phantom god who did not bring them any benefit at all and a master who really existed all the time for them, it was not difficult to choose.

That's why Jiang Chen was so infinitely deified. Although he felt ashamed every time he prayed, but seeing people's mental state getting better and better, he recognized it.

On the beach at night, a woman with an intellectual aura looked at Jiang Chen who was sitting in the first place and the people below who were eating and drinking with a faint smile, took out the black stick made of charcoal made of wooden planks and wrote:

[In the 10th year of the migration era, the great master of the unity of god and man led us to find the legendary dream land with infinite salt and water. I don’t know why the great master has a dream about this lake called the sea, but I have a hunch This is the rise of greatness, the beginning of legends, and we will linger at the feet of the Lord for all ages to sing praises...]

After writing, the woman cherished and evenly coated the slurry made from special plants on the wooden board to prevent the writing from fading away, and then cherished it and put it into the animal skin bag that she carried with her. Looking at the firelight, there are many more in the leather bag. the same plank.

The woman's name is Yu Ying, she is the most rigorous and careful existence among all the people, so Jiang Chen appointed her as the tribe's historian. She doesn't need to hunt or live, cook and sew fur, her only task is to observe the tribe's officials. Development, using wood and charcoal in a leather bag to record everything you see.

The development of civilization is inseparable from the foundation of culture, and the source of culture is history. History seems useless, but it gives a nation its unique characteristics invisibly.

If the temperament of a person comes from experience, then the soul of a nation comes from history.

To give the simplest example, why did the Chinese nation jump from a poor and backward country to a great country in just a few decades. On the one hand, it is because of the reform and opening up, a system that is conducive to national development, but if the Chinese descendants are satisfied If you don't try to make progress based on the status quo, no matter how good the system is, it will be in vain.

Jiang Chen believes that the root cause is the bloody, unyielding, and unwilling to lag behind others deeply rooted in the bones of the Chinese nation. Since childhood, the descendants of Yan and Huang grew up watching the stories of their ancestors, such as the eight-year war of resistance and so on. 5000 years of history irrigated and grew up, how could such a nation be mediocre.

Jiang Chen also wants to cultivate such a nation, but culture is a thing that needs a background, and the background needs a long time to accumulate, ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, the sooner the existence of historians, the better, even after the tribe is completely stabilized, he still plans to Fill in a few more historians, and a person's perspective on things is always limited, and the integration of different perspectives is a complete history.

Moreover, Jiang Chen can also constantly summarize his own shortcomings from the records of the historians, and adjust the management mode.

The only thing that bothers him is that the historian Yu Ying is too unobjective. There are 500 words in a thousand-word history book that are all kinds of praise for him. When he thinks that people in later generations will watch such a history book, Jiang Chen can't help it. blush.

Is it really okay to twist the facts like this...

Chapter 9 The Age of Farming

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Chen, who woke up early, dispatched several teams to investigate the surrounding terrain as usual.

The sea has been found, but it is still impossible to settle on the seashore. Not to mention that the sand around the beach is not suitable for building buildings at all, and the humid environment is not suitable for human settlement.

Jiang Chen, who has been a leader for ten years, deeply understands a truth. His eyes must not be limited to the present, but to look to the future in decades, hundreds of years, or even a thousand years. It is an exaggeration to say that every time he is now. A decision can affect the future of all mankind, and there is no harm in being cautious.

After half a month of exploration, Jiang Chen chose a place 30 kilometers away from the sea as the tribe's settlement.

Therefore, Jiang Chen entered the high-frequency work mode again. During the day, he led people to set fire to the forest to clear a large area of ​​wasteland, and ordered the clansmen to turn all the ashes into the soil and collect urine and feces to increase the fertility of the land.

Then start looking for suitable soil around you, and keep experimenting to see if you can burn out bricks for construction, or china for cooking.

After all, it is a bit too much to live in a tent after you have settled down, and when cooking food with stone tools, the heat is often uneven, resulting in the food sometimes half-cooked. The person who came here was already vomiting and diarrhoea.

The most crucial is to dig ditches to divert seawater, collect the coarse salt produced under the sun exposure, and filter it continuously with crushed coal to obtain refined salt containing iodine and other trace substances.

By the time Jiang Chen finished his work, snowflakes had already started to float in the sky.

Fortunately, they don't have to live in the wilderness today. Although the earthen house made of clay is not very strong, it is more than enough to withstand the cold wind.

You must know that the greenness of the Infinite Continent is terrifyingly high, and the corresponding content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is also quite low. There is no greenhouse effect at all. Winter on earth and winter here are completely two definitions.

In the first year of the Great Migration, Jiang Chen didn't make enough plans to keep out the cold because of his inherent misunderstanding, so that the 4 bear children and 12 babies would stay on that winter night forever.

It was that lesson that made Jiang Chen realize that what he was experiencing was not a game with a fixed pattern, but a bloody and dark existence. If they didn't make progress, sooner or later, they would be swallowed up by cruel weather, ruthless diseases, and hungry beasts. exhausted.

Fortunately, they have survived all these, and now they have found a safe place to settle down. Jiang Chen believes that sooner or later, they will overcome the weather, famine, and disease, and finally leave a splendid history on this continent. This is his life. The responsibility of being the master is also the long-cherished wish of all clansmen.

Maybe it was because he was used to the busy work state, even in winter Jiang Chen was not idle, and people came in and out of his residence every day.

Jiang Chen discussed with them laws, land distribution, education, currency... and other issues that were deliberately ignored during the Great Migration. If these issues were not prepared sooner, it would be very likely to bring devastating consequences to the tribe in a few years. blow.

There are only more than 100 people in their tribe. Of course, they don't need to think about it that much. Even if there is a formal law, it is useless, but if the people who will double in a few years don't have any legal awareness, Jiang Chen will not dare to. Imagine how messed up it would be.

Jiang Chen, who grew up in a highly developed modern civilization, is very aware of the impact of the advent of the farming era on human beings.
