This Is My Primitive Tribe

Chapter 106: People have to have a bottom line

Popular recommendation:

The second year of the establishment of the rattan tribe, on October 11th, frost fell.

The cold wind howled last night. After Jiang Xuan woke up in the early morning, he found that the outside had turned into a vast white scene.

A layer of white frost had condensed on the ground and roof, and even the grass in the yard was frozen hard, and when my feet stepped on it, there was a crisp "chacha" sound, as if stepping on paper.

In the forest, a layer of smog condensed on the trees, white and snow, very beautiful.

Although the scenery is good, the weather is getting colder day by day, and even the glutinous rice **** are not as active as usual.

Jiang Xuan returned to the bamboo house, found the calendar bamboo tube, and engraved the word "Frostfall" next to today's date.

He dug out the bamboo tube of last year's calendar and found that the frost fell on September 12 last year, that is to say, it was a full month away.

"It's too different, it's a headache."

Jiang Xuan scratched his head, wondering what was going on. It seemed that there was a long way to go to make an accurate calendar.

However, he was not discouraged. Anyway, he just recorded it every day, and it didn't take much time.

"Boss Xuan."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and the dumplings in the bamboo shed also raised their heads and stood up with vigilance in their eyes.

The dumplings are now covered with purple feathers, the beak is sharper, and the claws are stronger and stronger. The overall look is very fierce, and it already has the temperament of a fierce bird.

Jiang Xuan walked into the yard, and Tang Yuan followed behind him step by step.

After the door opened, Jiang Xuan saw Mallow.

He had a headache and tried to close the door again, but Mallow quickly squeezed through the door and into the yard.

"Boss, what are you doing, I won't eat you again."

There was a triumphant smile on Mallow's face, but the next moment, a big head stuck out in front of her.

"Soup...Tangyuan..."

Mallow pretended to be calm, but when she met Tang Yuan's sharp eyes, she felt a little guilty.

"Tangyuan go to sleep."

Jiang Xuan tore off the big head of the dumplings.

Tang Yuan looked at the mallow, then swayed into the bamboo hut, and squatted down again to sleep.

"looking for me?"

"Boss, do you have a torn animal skin garment to sew? I just learned to sew animal skin garments, and I brought this!"

Mallow pulled out a sharp bone needle from his body like a conjuring trick, and some threads made from the small intestines of beasts.

The bone needle is relatively large, with a sharp front end and a hole drilled at the end for threading.

The animal skins of the tribesmen are basically sewn with this kind of bone needle and gut thread.

It is said that the tribal people who first sewed clothes were inspired by a tailor-made bird's nest.

Tailor bird is a very peculiar bird. It has superb sewing skills. It can use natural threads such as cobwebs and cotton to sew together several large leaves to build its own nest.

After seeing this sewing method, the tribal people who are good at learning initially used sharp bone spurs to poke holes in the edge of the animal skin, and then sewed several pieces of animal skin together with a string, becoming the simplest animal. leather jacket.

Later, some people felt that after poking the hole with a bone spur, it was very troublesome to thread the thread inside, and the hole drilled was relatively large, and the animal skin leaked air.

So they came up with a way to drill a small hole at the end of the spur, turning the spur into a spicul.

Bone needles can be used to pierce the holes while carrying the string, which not only makes sewing faster, but also eliminates the need to poke large holes, making the animal skin less leaky.

Later, the tribal people found that whether it is a bark rope or a straw rope, it is easier to break after wearing it for a long time, and the rope is relatively rough, and it is difficult to pull it through the small hole when sewing.

After continuous attempts, they unexpectedly found that the gut made from the small intestine of animals is not only smooth, slender, but also durable, which is very suitable for sewing animal skins.

So they began to sew fur coats with gut, a method that has continued to this day.

Jiang Xuan looked at the bone needles and gut thread in Mallow's hand, and said helplessly: "Thank you, I don't have any animal skins to sew."

Mallow put away the bone needles and gut in disappointment, and then probed into the bamboo hut. She saw some semi-finished stone tools on the ground at a glance, so she added: "Then let me help you sharpen the stone tools, I am very patient. It's sure to be polished."

"Need not……"

Before Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Mallow had already entered the room and began to grind, without giving Jiang Xuan a chance to refuse.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Xuan had no experience in dealing with it, so in desperation, he had to let Mallow slowly grind the stone tools inside.

Grinding stone tools is a work that requires a lot of patience and strength.

Because a good stone tool often needs to be polished for more than ten days, or even several months.

From a stone of a suitable shape, it is polished into a rough blank, and then polished into a shape. Some stone tools even have to be drilled, which takes a very long time.

Tribal people usually grind for a period of time every day on rainy days when they can't go out, or when they have other leisure time, and grind slowly.

However, Jiang Xuan heard that some tribes have professional stone tool masters, who don't have to hunt every day or do anything else, they only specialize in polishing stone tools, and their skills are very superb.

If there is a chance in the future, Jiang Xuan also wants to train a few stone tool masters in the Veng tribe, so that the tribe's clansmen can use real good stone tools.

Jiang Xuan washed briefly, and then started to prepare breakfast. He watched Mallow still sitting beside the fire pond and carefully polishing stone tools. He didn't mean to leave, he sighed slightly, and silently cooked an extra portion.

Jiang Xuan used a small three-legged round tripod with a lid and two tripod ears, which could be moved easily.

He first moved the round tripod outside to wash it, then added a few scoops of water with a water scoop made of a gourd-shaped plant, and put some washed animal meat, round potatoes, stone eggs, and some pickles.

Then it was moved back to the fire pit, and the burning firewood was placed under the three-legged round tripod.

It didn't take long for the water in the round tripod to start to steam.

Jiang Xuan was not idle either. He found an animal tooth and slowly polished it into a tooth knife.

While grinding, he asked Mallow, "Why do you always come to me?"

Mallow raised her head and looked at Jiang Xuandao with burning eyes: "Because I want to live with you and have many children for you."

Jiang Xuan said helplessly: "Tell the truth."

"That's the truth."

Jiang Xuandao: "If you don't tell the truth, I'll kick you out."

Mallow was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered her head and said, "Okay, I admit, I just want to be a real Vine tribe~www.readwn.com~ I don't want to be driven away one day."

"Who told you that you would be driven away?" Jiang Xuan looked at her helplessly.

Mallow said: "Every tribe is like this. When there is a shortage of food in winter, those who are not important will be driven out, starved to death, or frozen to death."

"It will even eat us as food, like the mosquito tribe."

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but said: "But our Teng tribe has plenty of food. As long as you don't have any dissent and work hard, sooner or later, you will become a real Teng tribe!"

Mallow retorted: "But what if the tribe encountered disaster before becoming a member of the Vine tribe?"

Jiang Xuan was at a loss for words for a while, everyone has a distinction between close and distant, if the tribe really encounters a disaster, the priority must be the real clansmen.

Mallow continued: "So, I want to give you a few children, so you won't drive me out for the sake of the children."

Jiang Xuan looked at Mallow's face, she was not too old, she seemed a little immature, and her body was not fully developed.

But maybe because of the difficult environment, her mentality has become a real adult, and she knows how to use her body in exchange for some benefits.

To be honest, Jiang Xuan felt a little distressed about this, but it did not mean that he had to accept Mallow.

He thinks, people, it is better to have some bottom line.

Jiang Xuan's bottom line is that he can't do those indescribable things without feeling or understanding.

Jiang Xuan wanted to say something, but was silent again in the end.

Mallow continued to grind the stone tools with her head down, the firewood burning in the fire pond made a crackling sound from time to time, the water in the pottery cauldron was slowly boiled, and the food began to tumble...
