Chapter 54: The wolf
In the concept of forest traces, human nature is more important than various tools. Because no matter what, as long as it is made by people, as long as people are still there, they can basically be copied again.
It's just that he forgot that in the case of considering the cost of tool making, many times human life is not as important as tools.
The appearance of the iron axe, in the hearts of the people of the tribe, may be regarded as a god-sent existence. In their view, this is almost impossible to replicate, so it is naturally more important than anything.
And because Lin Ji can find a hundred and eighty axes in the small city at any time, he doesn't pay much attention to this, so he hasn't realized these for a long time.
Suddenly, he was empowered by the bear's claw, and Lin Ji became relaxed. Don't worry much about swapping or anything. There's no reason for the tribe to treat an axe as a treasure and trade it out as garbage, a cornucopia of energy that supplies axes.
All he had to think about now was how to get the axe out safely, or how to get the tribesmen to accept that he kept getting the axe.
As for going to the Gray Wolf Tribe, of course he still has to go. He wanted to see what the rallies of this era were all about. He wanted to find out why mankind lingered for thousands of years before entering the period of civilization since the basic form of social organization already existed in this era.
The mentality has improved, and in the next two days, Lin Ji has become a cute child who is patient, reasonable, and liked.
After the eagle cut down some of the trees, the woman helped drag them back and strip them of the bark. Lin Ji simply made a set of rope rulers, tied the recorded knots, and told the eagle how much wood to be longer, and how much wood to shorter. In this way, as long as you remember the order of house construction, you can draw a gourd in the future when you build this kind of wooden house.
The weather has turned cold in the past two days, and Da Ji has distributed all kinds of fur to everyone. Lin Ji saw that everyone had put these animal skins on their bodies indiscriminately, and instructed everyone to cut these animal skins with axes at night, and sew them into clothes with sleeves and pants with split legs.
He had also taught some tailoring before, and some of the tribe had already worn long dresses that didn't fit well. But this time it was the most attentive. He worked with the women to study how to keep clothes warm and not tight, how to make pants easy to move, not easy to tear, and even how to match various colors of fur to be more beautiful and save materials.
All this made many people think that Lin Ji had compromised and was willing to be replaced.
This also caused mixed reactions from the tribesmen. Bear Claw, who expects Lin Ji to leave the tribe sooner, is naturally happy. The eagle, who expects the forest trail to remain in the tribe for a while longer, behaves in a gloomy manner.
The gibbous moon is getting full, and the lunar calendar should be the twelfth and thirteenth of this month. Lin Ji felt that the angle of the sun was like the ninth lunar month in later generations, but the temperature of the weather seemed to have reached the tenth lunar month in later generations.
On the morning of this day, the autumn wind froze, most of the tribe changed into new clothes, and a small-scale sacrifice was carried out under the auspices of Daji, and the group embarked on a journey to the gray wolf tribe.
A total of 10 people set off. In addition to Lin Ji Caiyu and Daji, there were three other women accompanying them, and Po Tu took three men to protect them.
All ten of them were dressed in the softest wolf skin clothes, and they looked quite energetic.
Lin Ji and Caiyu wear narrow-brimmed rattan hats, wolf skin placket and long sleeves, long pants with split legs, and kudzu straw sandals, which makes them look even more youthful and lovely.
It's just that the team that set off didn't go far, and the forest trail was blocked behind.
The eagle looked stupid and couldn't speak for a long time. Zhu Monkey patted his chest and said that as long as he was changed out next year, he could meet again. Stonebeak wanted to give his bow to Lin Rui so that he could use it to save his life in other tribes. Fearing that the forest would starve to death in other tribes, Dunmu secretly stuffed live squirrels into his back basket.
The little sister seemed to know that Lin Ji was going to go away, so she cried in Lin Ji's arms, but she didn't want to come out.
Luo Que lost his heartless appearance, and his face was full of concern: "Son, after you go out, I won't be able to see you." You must be as heroic as the wolf, so that I can tell from the legend if you are still alive......"
In the end, this silly mother cried like a child.
Lin Ji was told that tears came down, and he couldn't wipe his face and cry, he rudely stuffed his sister in his arms into Luo Qi's arms, and stuffed the prepared sugar cube into one person, and said, "I'll go out for two days, what are you crying about?" I have to come back to give you a pension, and I won't die outside. ”
The mother and daughter had sugar in their mouths and immediately closed their mouths tightly. It's just that there are tears in the corners of his eyes, and he looks weird.
After sending the mother and daughter away, Lin Ji waved his hand to others: "Go back, go back." Da Ji didn't say that he wanted to exchange me, so I went to the gray wolf to have a look. You're all right, I'll be back in a few days. ”
Squeezed out the crowd to catch up with the team, Lin Ji found that these people in the tribe were not the most annoying, the most annoying was Caiyu who went out for the first time.
She was like a bird out of the cage, very interested in everything on the side of the road, and the chatterbox was constantly chirping. The adults buried their heads in walking, and Caiyu turned his conversation to the forest tracks.
"We've been here...... There are a lot of bracken ...... in the ravine."
"Why hasn't your honey been eaten for so long? I remember you said before the full moon last month that it was almost gone......"
"They say you have everything in your basket, don't they? I'll take a look, I'll see ......"
"Why aren't you afraid of being swapped out these two days? And come out with us......"
"Why do you know so much? Did Hu Yier teach you? But you also knew a lot before Hu Yi'er came......"
The forest trail is a little loveless.
The gray wolf department is in the northwest direction of the tribe, and it takes two and a half days to walk briskly and two and a half days to walk slowly.
Except for Po Tu, a few adults carried chestnuts or dried fish on their backs. After walking out of the tribe, Po Tu carried Da Ji on his back. forest trails and colored feathers; Although the two of them only carried a little food, they were light, but after all, they were young and frail and couldn't walk quickly. As a result, the whole team walked quite slowly.
The group walked until noon on the third day before arriving at the gray wolf tribe.
Before entering the Gray Wolf Tribe, Da Ji got off Po Tu's back to let everyone rest for a while, and also warned Caiyu and Lin Ji of some warnings such as not to talk to strangers, not to divulge secrets such as the tribe's axe.
The Gray Wolves live in a river valley. Lin Rui soon discovered that the river was running from north to south, and it was clear that this was not the upper part of their tribe.
Before he got close to the gray wolf tribe, Lin Ji heard the long-lost dog barking first.
On the bank of a sparsely grassed river, smoke curls up, and many thatched huts with steeped roofs are hidden in the withered yellow grass and trees, and between the thatched huts, a few footsteps can be faintly seen. The whole tribe looks like a primitive village.
Po Tu screamed from afar to inform the tribesmen. It didn't take long for the tribe to welcome many people dressed in different costumes. Obviously, people from other tribes came earlier than the people of the Jilin tribe.
Most of the people who greeted him knew each other, and after meeting, they all greeted each other warmly, asking each other about the current situation, and the scene was no different from meeting acquaintances in later generations.
In this kind of meeting, there are also those who meet the high and the low. The Jilin tribe and his party are dressed up brightly today, and naturally everyone praises them. Da Ji and a few women who came with him were all happy. In the end, the people of the Gray Wolf Department came out, and arranged a place for them to camp a little closer to the Gray Wolf Tribe, and the location of the Youda Department was on the side.
The ear baby of the gray wolf department obviously remembered Lin Ji's revenge, and deliberately pulled Lin Ji out from behind a few men, and introduced to the women: "This is the strange guy I told you, and all kinds of skills are more powerful than the leaders of ordinary tribes." Among the men who came today, I think he is the best. But I've already discussed it with Daji, this guy belongs to our gray wolf, I'll tell our wolf mother to go now. ”
As soon as these words came out, many eyes immediately fell on Lin Ji like knives.
After a look, Lin Ji found that these were not half-grown children who had come with various tribes. Obviously, they are all taken out to show people, and they have to be exchanged or wait for next year's exchange. Children of this age are like peacocks in heat, and they like brainless battles the most. Lin Ji couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
It seems that this ear baby really doesn't want him to have a good time here, and these children alone are estimated to be enough to tell Lin Ji how to behave.
Seeing that the ear baby was pitting the forest traces, Da Ji raised his voice and said: "Our trace is thin and weak, and we haven't thought about whether to exchange it in the spring." Don't dare to compare the length with everyone. ”
As he spoke, Da Ji pulled Lin Ji into the crowd and blocked it.
The campsite arranged by the Gray Wolf Department is actually an open field, but there is actually nothing. Fortunately, there are many trees near the left, and everyone is familiar with the construction of temporary shacks. Ji Lin's cadres took turns to go out and break a lot of branches and plants and came back, and it didn't take long to build a big shack in the open space, which should be enough to temporarily shelter from the wind and rain.
In the afternoon, the women took chestnuts out to exchange kudzu and other items needed by the tribe, and the men took in the camp. Naturally, the forest trails are confined to the shack and cannot be allowed to go out.
However, the people remained in the shack, but the ears of the forest traces were always wandering outside.
At some point, the voices of people in the camp of the nearby Youda Department gradually sounded, and Lin Ji heard a thunderous name in his ears: Fu Wolf had returned with a man to kill a bear.
