The few remaining members of the Serpent Tribe are the elderly, the disabled, and the sick.

The snake tribe has two meals in the morning and evening, and at each meal, the chief is responsible for distributing food to the adult males first, then the adult women and minors, and finally the elderly, the disabled and the sick.

Whenever there is a shortage of food in the tribe, the elderly, the disabled, and the sick are the first to be abandoned, perhaps given only a little food or no food at all, they have little role in the tribe, they cannot go out to hunt and gather fruits, and they are basically killing time waiting for death to come.

This is the composition of the population of the Snake Tribe, a primitive tribe that lived by hunting.

In Su Yan's view, Wu should be the most important person in the snake tribe, not to mention the sacrifice, just the inheritance of knowledge and the treatment of diseases can see the importance of Wu.

The inheritance of knowledge involves writing, and curing diseases is actually considered knowledge, and there are words in the snake tribe, and Wu and Wu's disciples are the only two people in the tribe who know how to write.

It is not a text that is said to be a text, the text is more complex than the oracle bone inscription, more like a stick figure, Su Yan can roughly guess the meaning, maybe I don't know how many years later, these words will evolve into oracle bone inscriptions, evolve into traditional characters, these are unknown.

On the walls of the cave, on the stone slabs piled up in the corners of the cave, there are a large number of texts, some of which are left by the previous witches, and some of which are left by the current witches, they are the knowledge inheritance of the snake tribe, and its content includes healing, hunting, fishing and other aspects.

As long as the knowledge of witches is inherited, it will be difficult for the snake tribe to be extinct, and they will struggle to survive in this world.

There are words and languages, and the language of the snake tribe is a bit like a certain dialect that Su Yan once heard, it is difficult for people who can only speak Mandarin to understand the meaning of the words, and Su Yan has also observed for several years, and even guessed to understand this language.

The people of the snake tribe did not speak in the same way as modern people, they were very short, just one word, and they usually repeated the word.

After Su Yan's observations, Su Yan also slowly recorded the languages commonly used by people, such as "eating", "hunting", "food", "sleeping", "hungry", "cold", "hot", "big", "small", etc.

In addition, the people in the snake tribe have no names, there is no standardized writing and language, how can there be names, basically they are called "you, me and him", but Su Yan gave them names one by one when he was bored.

Wu, the leader, and the adoptive mother, these are both names and identities, as well as Big Mouth, Dali, Dahei, etc., all of which Su Yan named according to their characteristics, and the adoptive mother also has two daughters, the elder sister is called Xiaohua, and the younger sister is called Xiaoyue.

Those who have no characteristics, Su Yan can only use numbers like "No. 1" and "No. 2".

There may still be a surname missing, since it is a snake tribe, it can also be called a snake clan.

The Serpent tribe is still in the Stone Age, very backward, they do not know how to farm, and can only rely on hunting, gathering fruits, and fishing to meet their food needs.

Especially for fishing, the snake tribe does not have fishing nets, and can only use sharpened wooden branches to insert fish into the water, and it takes a long time to insert fish into the water with raw hands, and the fishing efficiency is very low, and the fishy smell of fish makes the fish meat in a relatively low position in the food, and some tribesmen would rather eat fruit than eat fish.

In the impression of many people, primitive people should be the kind of people who do not wear clothes, have dirty bodies, and have thick hair, as if they are wild gorillas.

The primitive of the snake tribe is very different from the primitive in people's impressions, even if it is still in the Stone Age, love to be clean is the biggest characteristic of the people of the snake tribe, except for the lively and active children, there will never be a dirty situation.

The people of the snake tribe are close to modern people, they do not have thick hair on their bodies, they wear animal skins on their bodies to protect important places, and they will also replace them with leaves when the weather is hot in summer.

It is important to note that they wear not only clothes but also shoes.

Perhaps because of the poisonous insects on the ground in the woods, the people of the snake tribe will wear very primitive shoes, some of which are directly tied to the feet of animal skins, and most of them are hand-made straw sandals.

If he can return to modern society, Su Yan will definitely become an authority on the study of primitive people.

For Su Yan, the only regret is that he is only an observer, and he cannot control this body that imprisons his soul.

Su Yan has never given this body a name, or Su Yan thinks that this body always represents herself, that is, "Su Yan", maybe one day she will be able to control this body.

In the two years after birth, "Su Yan" was almost the same as other children in the tribe except for drowsiness, which was considered a normal child.

However, as "Su Yan" grew up, as an observer, Su Yan discovered that this body might be a mentally handicapped child, and it was obvious that his intelligence was lower than that of other children.

The body is growing, but the IQ has not increased, only "woo", but almost does not know the language of the snake tribe, if it were not for the adoptive mother, I am afraid that this body would have died long ago.

Su Yan guessed that perhaps because of his own existence, "Su Yan" became a mentally handicapped child.

When "Su Yan" was six years old, he also had a serious illness, and Wu couldn't cure him, his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he was so thin that only skin and bones remained, and the whole tribe seemed to have given up on him, just to see that he could still leave him a little food for the sake of a man.

Observer Su Yan was extremely anxious, he knew that once "Su Yan" died, he, the observer, would also die, although he could only live in this world as an observer for the time being, but Su Yan didn't want to die like this.

The people of the entire tribe gave up "Su Yan", but his adoptive mother did not give up and took good care of him, and every time she received food, her adoptive mother would feed "Su Yan" first, and then eat the rest of the food herself.

Later, Xiaohua and Xiaoyue sisters also learned from their mother to distribute their own food to "Su Yan".

Under the careful care of her adoptive mother, "Su Yan" survived the winter with difficulty, and after the arrival of spring, the disease finally receded.

The leader saw that "Su Yan" was able to play like other children in addition to being weak, so he restored the sufficient food distribution to "Su Yan".

Time passed day by day, and another spring came, the sunlight shone on Su Yan's little face through the gaps between the leaves, and Su Yan, who had woken up, gently clenched his fist with his right hand.

From today onwards, the observer Su Yan is not there, only Su Yan of the Snake Tribe, or Snake Yan, remains.

[In reality, there are also snake surnames, but they are very rare]
