453 Take the primitive man to the well-off 8 (two chapters in one)
The windows of the house have long been installed, and because of the winter, a layer of animal skin curtains has been installed above the windows and at the entrance of the door, and there is no shortage of animal skins that are not implemented now. This summer alone has been a lot of harvest.
Therefore, the windows of every house have animal skins hanging on them.
In winter, each family also has a lot of food, and it doesn't matter if they eat a big pot of rice. Then everyone looked at Lin Su, just waiting for him to give an order, and then they could move their last belongings in.
In fact, this is also to highlight Lin Su's status, she doesn't care, tomorrow is winter, so let everyone move in quickly.
The move is in full swing, and everyone's face is filled with a smile of reverence for the good life.
Lin Su went in at night, and there was a row of small jars on the edge of the window, on which were all kinds of wild flowers and weeds. The hides were temporarily bundled up in hay by her, and a faint speck of light peeked through the window. Because it was not very densely woven at that time, it was still good for lighting, but when the hide was put down, it was completely darkened.
A thick layer of hay was still placed on top of the kang, covered with several layers of animal skin, and then covered with several layers.
Lin Su felt that he could look for it and see if he could find something like cotton, and then try to see how to make something like linen. Just thinking about Lin Su made him feel that his task was a bit large.
After all, it didn't seem like she had been reminded that the mission was complete.
So we need to keep working hard.
After dinner, it was dark, and everyone couldn't wait to enter their respective rooms. Closing the door, some people also deliberately chatted loudly in the house with friends in other houses.
I guess I want to express my joy in this way.
The temperature at night had begun to slowly decrease, and Lin Su added another layer of animal skin to cover his body. The hides of the windows have been hung. Everything in the room was dark, but for the first time, Lin Su did have the feeling that he had finally slept in bed.
Probably because of the good mood, the sleep at night is surprisingly good. Even when I woke up the next day, I obviously felt a little cold, but I still wanted to lie lazily in bed and didn't want to get up. Through some gaps, you can still see that it is already dawn outside. I don't know if it's snowing.
When I sat up, I did feel cold. Lin Su turned out the animal skin clothes, it seemed that it was time to build a wardrobe or something like that, otherwise every time they were piled together, I always felt that I couldn't tell who was the quilt and who was the clothes.
After getting used to the current temperature, Lin Su didn't feel very cold because of the primitive body.
Just as he was about to go out, a call from his companion came from outside: "Lie, come out and eat." ”
Well, when he heard this, Lin Su knew who it was.
The cliff is Chan's unreliable, but Chan already has a woman, and it is estimated that he will be a father after this winter.
Bachelors like them had a portion of the food, but they didn't plan to cook for themselves, at least at least at the beginning of winter. Because they also need to reinforce an ice wall on top of the fence, which is more secure.
The snow ball that had been transplanted before had been collected, and only the plants remained, and the plant Lin Su did not move, so let them leave it alone. Because Lin Su didn't know if this thing could really survive the winter.
After going out for a walk, Lin Su actually found that this thing actually cowered into a ball by itself, and now it was buried in the snow.
It seems that the plants that can survive in such a world really have special functions, and after Lin Su, who was relieved, told everyone not to worry, he went to eat his own big pot of rice.
Thanks to Lin Sudefu, now everyone has their own bowl, basically everyone's bowl is very large, mainly because everyone's meal is relatively large, plus there is no shortage of food now. All the other party in the cave is now full of food.
After receiving the food, Lin Su went home. The main reason is that the canteen is not built very large, and there is no place to accommodate everyone to eat. So they went home with their own meals, but even so, everyone had something to talk and laugh about.
Lin Su walked all the way over, everyone greeted her with a smile, and even some children would smile and call his name when they saw Lin Su.
After eating, you have to kill the little wild boar you raised before, mainly because there is no way to mow the grass and feed them now, so it is better to kill and eat meat.
However, because the inside of the house would be very dark if the animal skins were covered, and if the windows or doors were opened, there would be cold wind blowing in, so Lin Su felt that it was time for the oil lamp to appear.
So after killing the wild boar in the morning, I asked everyone to get the animal oil out and try it to see if it could be ignited.
After trying many times, he barely found a way, but Lin Su was not very satisfied, because it burned too quickly, and it was not particularly bright. But the women were very happy, sitting around a simple oil lamp made by Lin Su and chatting about family life.
Clothes are made from torn silk from a plant and threaded through a fish bone. The one on Lin Su's body was made with the help of the women, although the gap in the eye of the needle was very large, but at least it had the prototype of the clothes, so it was quite warm to wear. It's that the pants are really twisted and pinched, but despite this, once they came out, they were instantly welcomed by everyone.
I finally don't have to go bare in the winter.
In the morning, someone has already started to build the ice wall, now is not last year, but also needs Lin Su to teach by hand, now many people can actually be regarded as good at building the ice wall, so by the afternoon it has been done halfway, and then all the staff joined in the construction, and it was finally all done before dark.
Just pour some cold water tomorrow.
After that, I went out every morning for a run, set traps, and occasionally had a tooth sacrifice, and most of the time, the winter staple was snow balls or potatoes, mixed with some meat and fish.
Although it does make Lin Su a little unbearable to eat often, it seems that it is okay to get used to it.
In fact, as long as she said it a few times, these primitive people began to pay attention to hygiene slowly. When cooking, I also wash my hands, and I also deliberately wash the food before I start cooking. It may be that after the standard of living has improved, people have finally begun to pay attention to other aspects.
In the past, even food and clothing were a problem, who would pay attention to hygiene? Who would still care about the fact that you can't pull poop casually? Who would think that you can also use bamboo to weave other things......
Basically, after eating every day, when I lie down, I think about where tomorrow's food will come from, whether there will be a harvest tomorrow, etc.;
In winter, all we think about is whether there will be enough food tomorrow and whether a few more people will die in the tribe; when the problem of food and clothing is solved, people will think about other problems, and only then can mankind make progress.
So now, even if Lin Su doesn't say it, every day when he gets up, everyone knows that he consciously washes his face with water first, and then washes his hands. The women would clean up and then go cooking, and the men would go for a run outside for the day's morning exercises. After getting up, the old people will simply wash up, walk around the village, and then go to other people's houses to talk about their own past.
Children help sweep the snow from the roofs of each house.
……
Originally, the winter days were so boring, but as the tribe's days got better and better, other problems began to come to the fore. It's just that the birth rate of children every year is too low, mainly because there are fewer women, and the status of women in primitive people is still very high. Although it is not quite the same as the historical matriarchal society that Lin Su has seen, the status of women in the family is very high.
The men came back from hunting and the food was first attached to the women and children.
If there is not much food in winter, both adults and the elderly will eat very little.
Once when the patriarch called Lin Su over to talk about this issue, Lin Su looked embarrassed. That's all the tribe has to do, where can we increase the number of people?
As a result, a few days later, a young man came back from a patrol and said that he had found human footprints outside.
The location of the village is still relatively secluded, with mountains and bamboo forests as shelter, and basically few people will come to this place. I have to say that the ancestors of the tribe chose this place back then were still very prescient.
"When I used to go to trade, I also heard from other tribes that some tribes couldn't survive the winter, and they would go to other tribes to exchange women for food. "After all, everyone knows that women are the most important in the tribe;
I have to say that sometimes it is quite ironic, when there is no shortage of food, a woman's status can be very high, because women can reproduce. But when there is not enough food, and even when a large number of people die, some people will exchange women for food from other tribes, because only women are the most valuable;
Lin Su didn't know how to describe such a thing, but no matter what, if someone really exchanged with their tribe, it was estimated that the clan war would be very much in favor of it. Because their tribe not only did not lack food, but there was a lot of food.
Moreover, the safety of the village is very high, everyone has a house to live in, and if a woman is exchanged, in the eyes of the patriarch, it is to enjoy the blessings.
However, for the current people, their village is indeed relatively advanced now, and if someone can join, it can also be described as enjoyment.
Perhaps because of this idea, it didn't take long for someone to patrol outside, and he did come across a few people from other tribes wrapped in tattered animal skins.
Seeing that the men of Lin Su and their tribe were each wearing thick animal skin clothes and holding bows and arrows in their hands, their eyes suddenly lit up.
They knew that these people in front of them must be from relatively wealthy tribes. Because in the summer, when they are not well prepared, if they want to survive the whole winter, their reserves are simply not enough. So I had to exchange the women of the tribe for food.
After thinking about it, he took these three people into the tribe.
As soon as they entered the tribe, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces when they saw the high wall. And every village name in the village was proud and proud, especially when they brought people to the patriarch's house, and when they saw the patriarch sitting on the warm kang, several people who fell outside didn't even know where to put their hands.
As soon as they entered the room, they felt a warm feeling in their faces. Then I saw that there seemed to be a groove in the corner of the wall, which seemed to be burning wood, and a stone pot was placed on it, but there was no choking smoke in the whole room.
Not only that, but there is a clay bowl in the place where a stone protrudes from the wall, which is not surprising, but it is amazing that there seems to be a fire shining on the top of the clay bowl.
Although they didn't know a lot of things, the strength of this tribe seemed to be beyond their expectations.
So when Lin Su was called over by the patriarch, as soon as he entered the door, he saw three people from foreign tribes standing stupidly dressed like beggars.
"So, you want to exchange women for food?" Lin Su asked, touching his chin.
Although the three of them sat on the small bench below, each of them looked very humble.
Lin Su was also sitting cross-legged on the patriarch's kang, and I have to say that the patriarch would indeed enjoy it. Of course, in order to take care of the elderly, basically the kang in every old man's home is connected to the location of the kitchen, so as long as the kitchen lives, the kang is warm.
As for Lin Su, if they want to sleep on a warm kang, they need to burn it themselves.
"Lie, do you see how it should be changed?" The patriarch originally intended to let Lin Su be the patriarch, but Lin Su himself was not very willing, so the man who said that he was optimistic also called over. Not only that, but there are several more lively ones at the door.
"It's certainly okay to exchange food, but I have one condition. ”
Hearing Lin Su say this, the three of them immediately straightened up, and they looked like elementary school students.
It's a little unbearable.
"We don't need a woman with a spouse;"
After hearing this, the three of them glanced at the people around them, and said, "Of course, there are several young adults in our tribe who were injured while hunting, but these women have given birth to children......
If the woman leaves, then the survival of the little one after that will definitely be difficult. Although children are just as important in the tribe, if the food is running out, the inferior nature of human nature will also appear. If you can exchange your tribesmen for food, then the humanity of these tribes can be imagined.
At least in Lin Su's memory, even if there was really no food in Lie's tribe, there would never be a situation where women were exchanged for food.
Thinking that there were not many children in the tribe, Lin Su said: "Children can also exchange food, but not much. ”
