Chapter 106: Ablation
The snow and ice finally melted from the trees, and the squirrel took a chestnut out of the hollow and prepared to gnaw it off on the branch. Suddenly, it looked up alertly, and a wild cat swooped down like lightning, and the squirrel was already in the wild cat's mouth as the branches shook.
The jet-black chestnut fell into the wet dirt, flicked slightly, and bent a small green grass that had just emerged next to it, and then was trampled into the dirt by a wild cat that jumped down from the tree.
The wild cat carried the squirrel through the open land, entered the stockade, and came to the door of a large wooden house between the rows of houses, and laid down the squirrel and whined at the forest traces inside.
The ghost eagle leaned down from a tree above him, saw that it was just a small squirrel, and raised his head in boredom.
Lately it has not lacked food, and besides, the wild cat has grown larger, and it is becoming more and more difficult to provoke, and it does not dare to approach the wild cat now.
The ghost eagle is a little depressed, and after a freeze, it seems that everything is getting bigger.
The two little wolf dogs and the little black dog are not small now. The wolfdogs have become sturdy, standing no shorter than half-grown children, and after several hunting trips, their wolf instincts are unmistakable. Even if the ghost eagle flapped its wings a few more times beside them, they dared to bark their teeth at the ghost eagle.
The two wolfdogs became heroic, calm and capable, as cold as two horses. The black dog, which grows up but is significantly smaller, resembles a lewd donkey.
Now the black dog is the most popular hunting dog of the tribe, it runs fast, burrows through the bushes frequently, barks loudly when on guard, and picks up arrows and prey. The two wolf dog sisters are okay to pick up prey, and if they want to pick up arrows and short spears, they will never do it, and as for the warning sound, they can't hear it at all if they don't pay attention.
It's just limited to the question of temperament, and the black dog is grinning at everyone. It also likes to mess with the two wolf dogs, and it will always be bullied. But its dead face also made the two sisters speechless.
The ghost eagle prefers this black dog, and sometimes it can go to the ground and amuse the black dog for a while. When the ghost eagle raised his eyes, he saw that the black dog followed the two eldest sisters across the river again, and there seemed to be some excitement over there.
The children of the tribe are also growing up like crazy. These people were wrapped in thick animal skins before, and they couldn't be seen. Now that the weather is warm, they have taken off the thick animal skin, and the ghost eagle finds that many of the children it used to be a target are now difficult to start.
Of course, it's just thinking about it, and now it doesn't even dare to touch a long-haired child.
The white-haired, big-eyed, squeaky child of the tribe grew up very obviously, and the ghost eagle took it as a monkey a few days ago, and couldn't help but peck it, and it dared to grab a short spear and climb a tree and jump on the roof to chase the ghost eagle. If it weren't for the ghost eagle running fast, it would probably have to lose another body of hair.
Yes, the little cutie of the little snow monster has now become a temper tantrum.
The world is still getting bigger, and there are houses and stockades.
The playground next to the shed is now a small square, because there are many more big houses around. An additional piece of land was enclosed outside the stockade to become a larger playground.
At the same time, a similar village was built on the other side of the river, and many people lived.
When the ice melted on the river, a wooden bridge was erected over it, and the ghost eagle sometimes stood on it, but the bear children who lived in the village opposite would always throw stones at it, which made it dislike the children on the other side. It's just that it can't peck, which makes it very melancholy for a while.
In the house, Lin Ji put down the whip in his hand and said to the sixty or seventy children below, big and small: "Starting tomorrow, we will have a month's holiday." You don't have to go to class here. ”
Just like the later generations said that there was a holiday, these hard-pressed students cheered.
Lin Ji pressed his hand and said: "But don't be too happy, you have to learn to farm in the next month, and if you don't learn well, you will still be whipped." ”
Lin Ji's words were not a deterrent, and these children would rather be whipped than sit in the house half a day. Or rather, they are willing to do anything as long as they don't go to school. This is also something that makes Lin Ji quite helpless.
After the tribe absorbed the Falling Stone Tribe, the spirit of the Falling Stone Tribe, in order to survive, the leader sacrificed the small self and fulfilled the big self, which shocked Lin Ji. also made him understand that in this era, as long as there is a stutter, any belief in totem polytheism is all fart.
When Qiao Huan went to persuade the Falling Stone Tribe, he told them about Ji Lin's different rules, or he felt troublesome, and their Stone Mother Head took the lead to say that he wanted to maintain the independence of the Falling Stone Tribe. But after seeing the several tons of dried meat dried by the Ji Lin tribe, she didn't want any independence, as long as Ji Lin could accept her people, she could die.
What she meant by asking Qiao Huan to kill her was that as long as Qiao Huan killed her, her people would naturally be loyal to Qiao Huan, and they would no longer have to worry about their half-heartedness.
In the end, Lin Ji naturally did not kill her. However, he really saw the power of food, and after that, Qiao Huan went out again, and Lin Ji only let her bring enough jerky, telling them that as long as they joined Ji Lin, this kind of jerky would be full.
As soon as this trick came out, several small tribes around looked at the wind and shadows, and in less than a month, Ji Lin absorbed nearly 200 people, and now the population of the tribe has become more than 300.
Of course, this process is not without resistance. For example, in the tribe where Changshen was born, the leader insisted on not joining Ji Lin and drove Qiao Huan out. It's just that when Qiao Huan walked out of their tribe, a small half of their tribe followed, Qiao Huan stayed nearby for the night, and finally took all the people from that tribe away. Later, the leader had a miserable life with only a few women and children, and came to the door within a few days.
According to this situation, it is not impossible for the tribe to continue to expand, but Lin Ji is worried that the population is too large to manage and cannot support them, so he stopped the plan to continue to absorb other tribes, and spent the winter trying to find a way to integrate and transform these people.
In the winter, he carried out cross-tribal matching, organized training and labor for men and women, formulated various rules and regulations, integrated personnel into groups, selected grassroots management leaders, trained leaders, and sent children to school.
Lin Ji has to deal with very messy things, and it is naturally only half a day to teach children or something.
Now there are more than 100 children in the tribe, and there are fifty or sixty people over the age of eight or nine.
These people don't have a foundation like preschool, and they can't actually learn anything. Lin Ji is still repeatedly teaching numbers, addition and subtraction within two digits, and 180 simple Chinese characters. Pinyin Lin Ji also wants to teach, but the language at this time is quite different from later generations, and Lin Ji has not sorted out the conversion of pinyin, so it is not taught.
In this way, Lin Ji can't take the final exam yet, because he will definitely be angry. There are people in it who have been in it for two or three months, and looking at the characters is like a dog looking at the stars, and there are still many people who can't even write their own names.
Take your time, the important thing is to transfer a little scientific knowledge to them from time to time, so that they don't be so ignorant, Lin Xi comforted himself.
In fact, Lin Ji is more expecting a holiday than they are......
Lin Ji saw that the wild cat was already waiting impatiently at the door, so he turned around and walked out.
Habitually touching out a little dried fish, before Lin Ji bent down and handed it over, a white shadow flashed by quickly, and the dried fish in Lin Ji's hand and the wild cat on the ground were gone.
A few meters away, a circle of small snow monsters hugged wild cats and pinched dried fish. After sharing the dried fish with the wild cat, it followed the example of the forest trail and stroked wildly, and the wild cat howled and struggled.
The little snow monster was named Xiaobai by the forest traces, and it is considered an official member of the tribe.
After the tribe was cooked, it began to reveal its stubborn side. Now she waits for no one to touch, and when she touches it, she bars her teeth. Anything someone else eats, as long as it sees it, it must have a share, and if it doesn't, it will lose its temper. Following Lin Ji to class, skipping school at every turn, and arriving late and leaving early are even more commonplace. It is one of the students who can't write their names right now. Lin Ji was angry and fired it several times, but the most helpless thing was that he didn't expel it......
Later, Lin Ji found out that this guy was a male. Male.
Rescued the wild cat from Xiaobai's arms and asked it to send the little squirrel to the kitchen, and Po Tu hesitated.
"There are cheating on men and women in Erzhai. Got caught. Po Tu reported.
This kind of thing is inevitable even if it is a long-term education in later generations, and it is certainly even more inevitable for people who have just experienced a group marriage period at this time. Lin Ji didn't care much and said: "Didn't the rules say, if you hit ten to fifty whips, you can beat fifty, and kill the chicken to show the monkey." ”
Po Tu said: "It's already fighting." The meaning of Daji's women is to be beaten to death. You see......"
After taking in a few tribes, the leaders of several tribes were old, and Lin Ji asked them to be companions with Daji, managing the food in the canteen together, maintaining rules or something, similar to the formation of an elder group or something.
They have struggled for half their lives, but in fact, they know best that the life in front of them is rare, so they maintain the life in front of them the most. Some time ago, everyone only made small mistakes such as open defecation, and they couldn't play it, so it seems that now they want to take the opportunity to perform well.
Lin Ji said angrily: "Why are you stunned, we will give us a maximum of fifty lashes according to the rules." If you let them die like this, they are breaking the rules. Save people. ”
