Chapter IX: Responsibility
Wang Lang looked at the still grieving crowd, sighed and said, "I know about your affairs, I will be the leader, you can rest assured that I will take everyone to live."
After Wang Lang finished speaking, Fanxing excitedly translated Wang Lang's words, as a person who has been with Wang Lang for three months, Fanxing knows Wang Lang's ability very well, with his leadership, the tribe can continue, and the clansmen will have a better life.
When the tribesmen heard that Wang Lang was willing to take them in, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and some of them knelt on the ground, their hands raised high, chanting words to the sky, and their reverent appearance was obviously thanking the gods for guiding them in the direction.
After everyone quieted down, Wang Lang said in a deep voice: "I know that you will move to other places before the rainy season comes, but if I am asked to be the leader, I will not move." After speaking, he glanced at the stars, and the stars understood and translated the words.
Hearing this news, the crowd chatted for a while, and the last strong young man said to Wang Lang: "It's difficult to catch prey in the rainy season, so we don't go to other places, so what do we eat?"
Wang Lang looked at this young man, this young man was the two red ones who communicated with Wang Lang before, but Wang Lang later learned that his name was Jianya, and he was the son of the old patriarch.
"Although the rainy season is raining continuously, we don't have to go out to hunt every day, you may have heard the stars say, I have some animals here, although not much, but I don't need to go out to hunt every day."
After listening to this, Jianya turned his head to look at some pheasants and some big mice raised in the corner of the yard, and gradually understood what Wang Lang meant.
"There is some truth to what you said, but you were only two people before, and now we have more than ten fingers, how can we have enough of these animals?"
Wang Lang looked at Jianya and smiled, and said: "Jianya, have you ever thought that I caught these animals by myself before, and it is enough for two people to feed them, if we have more people, we can catch more animals, they can give birth to children, they can lay eggs, and they reproduce quickly, as long as we work hard, our food will only be more."
After hearing this, Jianya's frowning brow soothed a little.
Wang Lang didn't wait for him to continue asking, and continued: "Although the rain is flooding in the rainy season, as the river water increases, there will be more fish in the water, I will teach you to fish, the number of fish in the water is enough for us to eat several rainy seasons, what else do you have to worry about."
Fanxing translated Wang Lang's words.
The rainy season does not migrate, although it is contrary to their survival knowledge, but if there is enough food, why risk walking a long way, people have accepted Wang Lang's statement.
"Before the rainy season comes, we must be well prepared, tomorrow I will arrange a task for you, my cave here is too small, during this time you live outside the cave first, with the protection of this wall, you will not be in danger."
The tribesmen looked at the rows of sturdy wooden walls, and their hearts were much more relieved. As long as it doesn't rain, there isn't much difference between sleeping inside and outside the cave.
By the campfire at night, Wang Lang looked at the people sleeping on the ground, and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became much heavier, what he said before was very relaxed, but he was waiting for himself with his mouth open, whether he could take them to live in this wild world, Wang Lang was a little lacking in confidence.
The sleeping people do not understand the mood of their leader, and the long-term displacement of the precarious life makes them have nightmares one night after another, and occasionally a few people in the sleeping crowd wake up from their sleep, get up to look at their companions, and dare to lie down in peace.
Looking at these primitive people who were in panic all the time, Wang Lang couldn't help but look at the night sky, "If there really is a celestial god, then what is the purpose of you asking me to come to this world?" In his thoughts, Wang Lang sighed, lay on the ground and fell asleep unconsciously.
The sun had just risen the next day, and the people had already gotten up and gathered around Wang Lang to wait for Wang Lang's orders.
"The women and children followed the stars to learn to weave rope and gather wild fruits, and the men and I went to chop bamboo. Make bows and arrows."
Wang Lang thought for a night, since he became the leader, he naturally wanted to lead the tribe to live a better life, let the women weave a lot of ropes, and the men each had a bow and arrow, as long as the safety problem was solved, the next construction could be carried out steadily.
Expanding the residential area, building a house, weaving nets and fishing, tying up rafts, domesticating animals and a series of things are waiting for Wang Lang to do, if possible, Wang Lang is also trying to find some metal mines for himself, using stones as weapons is too low-end for modern people, of course he couldn't do it by himself before, but now with manpower, Wang Lang decided to let his tribe out of the Stone Age.
Everyone has their own things, and Wang Lang's current food is enough for these people to eat for a few days, enough for Wang Lang's small tribe to get through the preparation stage at the beginning.
In three days, with the efforts of everyone, Wang Lang made seven or eight bows, hundreds of arrows, a dozen stone spears, and a large number of ropes and fishing nets.
With these things, Wang Lang has gained a lot of confidence in his future.
Today, Wang Lang took all the tribesmen and came to the small river with fishing nets.
Before, for Wang Lang, it was enough to use a cage for fishing, but it was obviously inefficient to use a cage if there were more people, and it was the first time for Wang Lang to use fishing nets, and he was inevitably a little nervous.
If he caught a fish, it would be a good start for the newly formed tribe, and if he failed, it would be a great blow to everyone's confidence, and Wang Lang secretly prayed to the various gods he knew.
Due to the coming rainy season, the river has risen a lot during this time, but the river is not yet turbulent, the depth has reached the thigh position, the river is about two meters wider than in the dry season, if it is the rainy season, this small river is twice as big as it is now, and during that time fishing can only be done on rafts.
At this time, the river water is crystal clear, and in the water and grass in the river, there are a few fish chewing on the grass roots, and when they hear someone entering the water, they scatter and swim away with a whoosh.
