Chapter 41 Thought Construction
This dinner is the most delicious meal ever eaten by the clansmen. Food is the most important thing for people, especially in the era of backward productivity, food can bring people the greatest sense of satisfaction.

The power of food can be imagined.

Hutou complained that he was not full, and suspected that Hutong and the women had not cooked enough, but in fact he ate more today than the previous few days, and everyone ate more than the previous few days, and they were all still hungry.

The change has just begun, Gou Rixin, day by day, and day by day, Zhang Tian believes that in the future, it will only be the same day by day.

After the meal, the clansmen went out of the cave as usual and prayed to the sky.

Lin Yu took out the notepad at this moment, and read Zhang Tian's reply.

"To Dr. Lin:
I told them that this stone is a treasure handed down from their ancestors, and only you can use it. You have also demonstrated the purification ability of the white stone. The clansmen have no doubts about it, so you can rest assured.

Regarding the southward relocation, I do have some plans and some questions, which I just want to discuss with you.

What I'm not sure about now is that we need to migrate to the south of Donan to escape the cold current. How long will it take on the road?You've done research on the climate around the time of the Younger Dryas event, and you certainly know more about it than I do.

I tentatively plan to start the journey in the spring of next year. With the current climate, it may take May and June to usher in the spring of the earth and the recovery of all things. At that time, the food supply along the road is relatively sufficient, and the pregnant women in the tribe have also given birth. There is less risk on the road.

There's enough catch this winter to wait until the tribal meeting to hunt some wild animals and it should be fine.

Of course, we need to prepare enough food to cope with the consumption on the way before the migration. In addition, we need to find another thing: salt.

As far as I know, at the tribal meetings in summer and winter every year, Grandma will exchange a certain amount of coarse salt from other tribes, especially in winter, when there are almost no live animals to be hunted, the supplement of salt depends on these coarse salt.

This requires a considerable price. Those big tribes that control the salt will exchange a very small amount of salt for a large amount of resources from the small tribes every year.

I wonder if there are mineral salt or rock salt resources in the mountains?We will pay more attention when we enter the mountain in the future.It's best if there is one, if not, you can only wait until the tribal conference and make other tribes' ideas.

In addition to material preparations, spiritual mobilization is equally important.

The tribe has lived in this cave and guarded the forest for generations. It is not easy to persuade them to abandon their familiar homeland and embark on an unknown and risky journey.

I am trying to build their minds by telling stories, and so far, the effect is not bad.

If you have a good story, welcome to contribute~
In addition, I plan to portray you as a wizard who is proficient in magic and good at curing diseases in today's story, so as to enhance your status in the tribe.It may not be possible to make the tribe fully accept you, but at least it will make them respect and fear you, especially the men.

how do you feel?
Also, I have an honorable request.I personally think that barbecue without chili has no soul. I went to the mountains to collect it these days. Can you help me find out if there is any chili or other substitutes?

First kowtow thanks. "

There is a paragraph of text in the middle that has been crossed out, but the scratches are not deep, and Lin Yu can still recognize it. It reads: "As of the time I crossed, you have been missing for a week. No news about your family has been reported, and I have no way of knowing I know, but there is a saying that no news is the best news, I believe they will be fine."

She crossed out those questions as soon as she finished writing, because she understood that entanglement with these questions will not help, it will only cause trouble for the other party.

I didn't expect him to answer seriously, and even crossed out the answer on purpose...

Lin Yu laughed, this answer may not be able to calm her worries, but this kindness is enough to comfort her heart.

He is a gentle person... She thought to herself, seeing Zhang Tian walking in from the cave, so she said directly in Chinese, "I think it's okay!"

The clansmen cast surprised glances at her. This woman often muttered in strange languages, and no one knew what she was talking about. At first, she was a little wary, but then she gradually got used to it.

Only Grandma still has doubts. Although the ancestors migrated a long time ago, it is normal for the language to change during this period, but it has become so completely unbelievable to her. Therefore, her attitude towards Lin Yu has always been different. reserved.

Zhang Tian nodded slightly, knowing that she agreed to make her a wizard.

Lin Yu can identify herbs, understands certain pharmacological knowledge, and has a treasure that can purify water sources. His current image is close to that of a wizard in a primitive tribe.

It's just that the clansmen have no concept of wizards, and although they think she is unusual, they can't explain why.

What Zhang Tian has to do is very simple, just define a wizard, and then bless Lin Yu in the name of his ancestors.

The tribe sat down by the bonfire, and the children looked at Zhang Tian expectantly. Bai Xing ran to sit beside him and asked, "Is there any story tonight?"

"Every night has a story."

"Are there many untold stories?"

"Of course."

Zhang Tian pinched her chubby face and said with a smile: "Didn't Grandma say that? Every star in the sky is an ancestor, and every ancestor has a story. Look at how many stars there are in the sky." , as many stories as there are.”

Bai turned her head and looked at the starry sky outside the cave. The bright stars made her dizzy. Not to mention her ten fingers, even if all the hemp ropes in the tribe were used to tie them, it would not be enough to count them.

"There are so many stars!"

She suddenly felt sad, looked at Zhang Tian and asked solemnly: "Can I listen to you in my life?"

The clansmen laughed, and Zhang Tian was also amused by her.

It was rare for Bai to ask such a serious question. He thought about it carefully and replied in a very serious tone: "Although every ancestor has a story, not all ancestors will tell me their stories."

"Why?"

Not only Bai, but everyone showed puzzled expressions.

Zhang Tianzheng said: "Because many ancestors are like us. They have lived in this cave all their lives and never left this forest. Their stories are our life now. Everything they have experienced, we have also experienced. .”

"Every one of us will be a parent, and parents who are parents... will eventually become one of the stars in the sky and the ancestors of future generations, but only those who are brave, persistent and tenacious like Hou Yi, Shen Nong and Yu Gong able to guide future generations.”

"Most ancestors, they don't know more than us, so they can only watch us silently and guard us."

These words are tantamount to a slap in the face to the clansmen.

For a long time, they have regarded their ancestors as omnipotent and unreachable existences. They never thought that their ancestors lived as mediocre as they did, and they would eventually become the ancestors of future generations.

The clansmen quickly thought of themselves and their lackluster first half of life. When they became ancestors, what kind of guidance could they leave for future generations?Or will they also become the silent majority who have no stories?

Lin Yu didn't know what Zhang Tian said, but the savages suddenly showed surprise on their faces, and then fell into thought, with a look of unwillingness on their faces, and when they finally raised their heads, they all seemed to have made up their minds, full of energy.

She couldn't help muttering in her heart: I'm afraid this guy didn't come from ideological and political work... No wonder he can be the boss.
