005. Become a leader
On the way back, Sima Pianpian took the lead.
The female leader took a step beside him, looking respectful.
Others carried several times more prey than usual, and their faces were full of joy.
Regarding this result, Sima Pianpian could only be secretly speechless and slightly amused. As soon as she said that she was going to fight, the female leader's legs immediately went limp, and she gave up the position of leader in awe, causing her desire to test her abilities to a bubble.
She used her mental power to scan the people behind her, trying to ignore their lower bodies, there were ten strong women, seven strong men, six thin women, and seven thin men.
"Well, you should be strong when you're fed." Sima Pianpian touched his nose and thought to himself.
I caught another glimpse of the thin figure that fell at the back of the line. There were many bruises on his body, and his body was also a little unstable, so he could barely keep up with the team, but he was silent, and there was stubbornness in his dark purple eyes.
Sima Pianpian felt pity in her heart, and secretly glared at the female leader beside her, it was all this woman's fault that she let such a young child do such a dangerous thing.
Fortunately, the female leader was lowering her head at this time and didn't see it, otherwise she would have felt inexplicable, why was she hated by the new leader?
The boy stumbled again, and finally she couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately ordered, "Take a rest in place." ”
Leaving everyone to wait in place, she went into the woods, chose a tree, broke off a branch more than a meter long and an arm's thick from it, tried it vigorously, and when she was satisfied, she sharpened it with a dagger, and made a simple crutch with a smooth appearance.
She walked up to the young man, smiled at him, and said softly, "Give." ”
The young man looked at her smiling face, a flash of light flashed in his dark purple eyes, looked down at the wooden stick handed to him, hesitated for a moment, and then took it with both hands.
Sima Pianpian wanted to teach him how to use it, but he immediately guessed the usefulness of this thing, and walked a few steps correctly with his body propped up. Among primitive people, he is considered a very intelligent child.
Sima Pianpian raised his eyebrows, in a good mood, and couldn't help but touch the top of his head a few times with his hand. His hair is soft and smooth, not like other people's chicken coops, it seems that this cat is quite clean.
"Alright, go home!" Sima Pianpian said in a loud voice, ignoring the strange expressions of the others, walked quickly to the front of the team and continued to move forward.
Now that she's decided to bring them under her wing, she's going to try to play the role well.
……
When I returned to the settlement, it was almost five o'clock, and as soon as I arrived at the mouth of the valley, the people in the team invariably called out "Woo la Woo La", and now Sima Pian Pian could understand that it meant "We are back".
The people left behind in the cave came out to greet them as usual, with the purest smiles on their faces, as if they could warm the tiredness of the returnees. Sima Pianpian clearly saw their eyes and looked at everyone's faces one by one, as if to confirm whether everyone had returned safely, which made her suddenly very moved, they didn't know how to count, but they wrote down everyone's appearance......
When they saw Sima Pianpian out of thin air, they were all stunned, and their faces showed doubts.
The female leader immediately stepped forward and told her about her heroic deeds against the wolves, saying that she was the new leader, and that everyone would listen to her in the future.
In the face of everyone's adoring eyes, Sima Pian Pian was embarrassed, but she was not a twisted person, simply said a few words, first reported her name, because they could not understand the concept of the name, and could not remember her long name, so she simply pointed to herself, called "Pianpin", the standard Chinese pronunciation, for the time being, she can only do this first, and then said that she will be their leader in the future, and everyone has a share in today's prey. After that, I began to arrange for everyone to do things.
Mobilize everyone to clear aside the large pile of animal bones in the open space in the valley, pile up the dry branches that people picked up on the way back, she took out a lighter from her bag, lit the dead leaves, and after a while, the branches began to burn.
The first time they faced the fire, out of the instinct of the beasts, these primitive people were frightened and frightened, and they were all far away from the fire.
Sima Pianpian smiled and comforted them, and after some guidance, their restless hearts gradually relaxed. Soon, everyone felt a warmth that they had never felt before, and their eyes were shining as they looked at the fire, surprised and curious.
Of course, in order to avoid danger, Sima Pianpian did not forget to warn them of some precautions for using fire.
Next, Sima Pianpian taught them how to skin animals.
I have taught them how to eat before, first break open the belly of the prey, and directly take out the internal organs, which are the most nutritious part of the animal, which has always been the exclusive possession of the female leader, and then use sharp stones to directly divide the prey into parts, and those who are lucky enough can get a share, and even the hair and blood are stuffed into the mouth to chew, and every time I see them eating bloody mouths, her body will have a layer of goosebumps.
After peeling off the skin of the prey, scrape off the fat, wash it again, and set it aside. After the entrails were cleaned, they were piled up as well.
Looking at the large pile of meat and offal on the boulder, Sima Pianpian knew that it was up to her to distribute the food now. She took the dagger and gestured horizontally and vertically, now there are fifty-nine people, in addition to seven babies and nine children, there are forty-three adults, babies don't need it, small children can be a little less, adults she basically distributes it evenly today, but it won't be too even, some usually rarely eat meat, and suddenly eat too much today in case of stomach upset is not good, so in general, she is a common reference for distribution according to work and distribution according to need.
She told everyone to go and pick up a thick branch, and then cut off the pieces of meat and skewered them on the branches, and ordered them to take them to the brook and wash them, and not to eat them until she gave the next order, and when all the people had been allocated, she led them to the fire and taught them how to roast meat.
When the smell of the meat slowly came out, almost everyone drooled, they had never known that the food could be so fragrant, staring at the golden pieces of meat that were dripping with oil, sniffling, their mouths ready to move, but the leader had not yet started eating, and they did not dare. Finally, when the leader said that it was okay to eat, the crowd began to devour, and for a while the screams of being burned rang out everywhere.
Sima Pian smiled, blew the meat pieces cold, and ate them in small bites.
So, many people followed her example, and immediately, only the sound of blowing and chewing was left on the field.
The taste of the meat pieces was very light, and Sima Pianpian had a bag of salt herself, but she didn't want to take it out for the time being.
This bag of salt is only enough for one or two meals after so many people divide it, and teaching them to eat cooked food today is already a big reform, the so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, in case they eat food with salt, and after eating salt, there is no taste for others, which adds to the troubles. Therefore, she should keep it and treat herself.
In the future, she will have to find a container to hold raw blood when hunting, and she can bring it back for everyone to replenish the salt properly.
After the barbecue feast, Sima Pianpian washed a bunch of wild fruits, one for each person, which was a clear breath.
She told them that what they eat in the future must be washed with water, and that they should not be afraid of water, because water is like fire, and as long as it is used properly, there is no danger.
Today's dinner was the happiest meal ever, and although the new leader was tightly covered, his skin was white and tender, he didn't look so strong, and he was a little verbose, but they all felt that the new leader cared for them and brought them a good change.
……
At the end of dinner, Sima Pianpian first taught people to use the cooled plant ash to make a simple tanning fur, and then spread it on the rock, planning to talk about it tomorrow, she has no experience in this, she can only take one step at a time, even if there is detailed information in the database, she can only talk on paper, this kind of technical labor still depends on practice.
Came to the main cave with everyone, the space in the cave is very large, and it is not a problem to accommodate two or three hundred people, but the taste inside is really unbearable, Sima Pianpian plans to start beating them well tomorrow, and they must not defecate anywhere.
The fire was moved to the cave, and the cave was lit up in an instant, and the children happily chased the shadows on the rock wall as if it were the most fun game.
Sima Pianpian smiled and shook his head, gathered everyone around the fire, and began to ask them some questions.
……
They don't know their ancestors, and they are reunited after being forced to separate from their families again and again.
Whenever the leaves are yellow, an ugly humanoid monster escapes. Most of them were as tall as two men, with fangs and claws, some powerful, some spewing venom, more ferocious than the most ferocious beasts, attacking colonies, eating people, and sometimes taking women to mate with them, giving birth to offspring with ears and tails like beasts......
The people of the settlement will break up and reorganize almost once a year, and if you are lucky, you can escape the catastrophe and find a new group of people to live with, and if you are unlucky, you will disappear forever in that winter, and most of the people here have come from other settlements again and again.
Monsters generally don't take the initiative to attack human settlements in other seasons, but if humans accidentally encounter them head-on when they go out, they will kill and eat them all mercilessly, and just lost a group of hunting teams some time ago, and the previous leader was eaten by monsters, and only the blonde boy fled the scene at that time.
Sima Pianpian couldn't help but sigh deeply, such an unstable living environment may be one of the reasons why their brains cannot evolve quickly, and even safety cannot be guaranteed, how can they force food and clothing......
Humanoid monsters? She squinted, and looked up just in time to see a hastily removed gaze, and she clearly saw the gloom in his eyes, this cat is worried? Also, growing up in the disgust and contempt of others, his heart must have become extremely sensitive and bitter......
"Chief, who do you want to sleep with you?" The female leader's flattering voice rang in her ears.
"Ugh!" Sima Pian came back to her senses and saw several strong men looking at her with bright eyes, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You can enjoy it yourself, I don't need it for the time being." "Jokes, she doesn't have the interest of performing the Living Spring Palace for people to see, and besides, she has some cleanliness habits......
"Alright, let's all rest early." At the sound of an order, everyone went to the corner in twos and threes, doing what they had to do.
Sima Pianpian walked out of the cave alone, and she couldn't sleep in that lively place.
There are also many caves under this rock wall, and Sima Pianpian chose the smallest one to live in.
In the darkness, her eyes were clear, and her mind was recalling the information provided by the primitive man just now.
She was basically sure that those powerful and tyrannical spiritual powers she had encountered a few days ago were from these humanoid monsters.
When observing primitive people, she entered the Source Bead, and after tentatively touching the vortex of consciousness, she found that she could enter here without receiving a warning, I don't know if it was the reason why this settlement was not covered by the spiritual power of those unknown creatures, or the reason for the strong group spiritual power generated when humans gathered together, these still need to be verified by her.
But, at last, she finally found a home, albeit just a small primitive group.
Moreover, being in it, even if she hasn't played games these days, her heart is full, and she doesn't feel bored at all.
She thought, this should be the reason why humans like to live in groups, even if she is strong personally, she can't completely separate herself from human society......
