back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 107
Xiao Xiao and She Berry were also amazed at the grandeur of Ivory Castle, but they couldn't appreciate this behemoth from the perspective of history and technology like Zhang Tian and Lin Yu, so they got tired of watching it after a while.

Their eyes were attracted by the various handicrafts placed outside the camp, and the women of the Salt tribe told them that these were gifts from various tribes.

The two became more interested, watched curiously, and commented quietly.

The guest of honor was seated by the campfire while the children played on their own.

Yun had long discovered that the people of the Dahe Tribe were a bit strange. They brought strange weapons and strange red rocks, and even brought children to the tribal meeting. What could children do?He can only open his mouth to eat, not to mention his unattractive appearance, he runs around and doesn't understand the rules at all, so it's annoying to watch.

When Wolf Claw took out the two big red stones and claimed that it was a tribute from the Dahe tribe, Yun and his tribe were stunned. , wouldn't it be perfunctory with stones?
When Wolf Claw handed the two stones in front of everyone, they realized that the stones were actually empty!
Wolf Claw said sincerely: "This is called a clay pot, and this is called a clay pot. They are all made of clay. They are fire-resistant and moisture-resistant. They are not easy to rot and deteriorate. They are perfect for boiling water and cooking vegetables. But they are easily broken and cannot Throw it like a rock."

Immediately afterwards, he took out various tableware: "These are clay bowls, cups, and plates. They have the same function as those made of wood and bone, but they are not easy to break."

Now everyone understood, and passed on these rare goods to each other.

The saber teeth knocked on the pottery bowl, making a crisp sound. He didn't understand how something as hard as a stone could make such a sound, and the inner and outer walls of the bowl were polished as smooth as ice, almost as good as a finely crafted Wooden bowls and bone bowls too.

But this is a stone!How long does it take to polish the stone to this point?
Everyone also noticed this, and immediately felt that these pottery were full of sincerity.

Lionheart asked curiously: "What is clay?"

He had lived so long and had never heard of such a thing.

"Soil that can be fired into pottery."

Wolfpaw was terse and succinct, saying something nonsense.

Lionheart choked, so he had to ask another way: "How did soil turn into stone?"

"Burn with fire."

"But we burn fire on the soil every day, why didn't the soil turn into stone?"

"These soils are not good, we need to use pottery clay."

"So what is clay?"

"It's the soil that can be fired into pottery."

Seeing the sincerity on Wolf Claw's face, Lion Heart stopped asking.

Yun also noticed the extraordinary pottery, and happily asked the women to accept it, and carefully placed it out for fear of breaking it.

To his surprise, the hunters of the Shepi, Dahe, and Dashu tribes were all flushed and radiant, and they didn't look like they were starving.

The Shepi Tribe must have come to our territory to poach again... Yun was quite dissatisfied with this group of habitual offenders, and thought to himself, don't be caught by me, or you will look good to me!

The Big Tree Tribe and the Great River Tribe live farther away, without the conditions for poaching, do they even have enough food and clothing?

Yun tentatively asked: "Do you need to change some food?"

"No need!" Wolf Claw smiled all over his face, "We haven't finished eating the dry food we brought!"

When Wolfpaw was exchanging feelings with the host and the chiefs of other tribes, the others returned to their tents to clean up, light fires, boil water, and make tea. The children who wandered around were invited back to the tents by the women with sticks. Swallow dried meat and dried fruit with tea to replenish energy.

After all this was done, the men went down to the river valley with men from other tribes to get acquainted with the environment, while the women met women from other tribes and wandered around the nearby oak forest to see if there were any insects and plants that could be collected.

There are still two or three days before the migrating herd arrives. Now is the time to reconnect with old acquaintances, and to exchange gossip and stories. Both men and women are relaxed and happy, talking and laughing, sharing all kinds of interesting things that happened in their respective tribes .

When asked what is the use of the bent wood in each hand, the hunters of the Dahe Tribe and the Big Tree Tribe showed mysterious smiles and said: "This is called a bow and arrow. You will know it tomorrow, and you will be surprised when it is kept!"

The men's chats almost all revolved around hunting activities: what weapons were made, what beasts were encountered, what tactics were used, what results were achieved... Similar topics were discussed every time they met, and they never got tired of talking.

Knowing that the hunters of the Dahe Tribe had hunted a bear unscathed, everyone was very curious and asked about the ins and outs.

Hutou still said mysteriously: "You will know when Xue Ling is sacrificed!"

Everyone understood that the men of the Dahe Tribe would reenact the scene of hunting brown bears during the sacrificial ceremony.

Unlike herbivores, brown bears are truly threatening and destructive beasts, with few opponents in the forest!There is no doubt that it will be a very exciting performance, and the men are looking forward to it.

In contrast, the topics of women’s chats are richer, ranging from what they have learned during collection, what new edible plants have been discovered, what new cooking methods have been developed, to research on the production of handicrafts, and to discuss childbearing and Education, complaining about the stupid things men do, etc.

As long as it's something they've seen and heard, there's nothing they can't talk about.

The women of other tribes soon discovered that the women of the River Tribe were superior. They could identify more plants and describe the uses of various plants in great detail.

"How did you suddenly know so much?"

Everyone was surprised and puzzled. It was clear that the women of the Dahe tribe were the same as them last time they met, and they didn't even know as much as they did!In just half a year, where did they learn so much knowledge?

The women said proudly: "Thanks to Lin! Lin taught us to identify herbs and new cooking methods. Plants that we didn't dare to eat indiscriminately have now become our food. The food in the tribe is getting richer every day! "

"Who is Lin?"

"Lin is that tall and thin girl. She is the descendant of Shennong, the descendant of Nuwa!"

Everyone asked who Shen Nong and Nu Wa were, and the women showed the same mysterious smiles as the men, and said, "I'll tell you the story of Shen Nong and Nu Wa later in the evening."

I also learned that apart from Lin, there was also a boy named Tian who was with him. He was guided by the sky and passed on the knowledge of his ancestors. This time, if the grandmother didn't come, the sky would tell them the story.

The women are also looking forward to it.
