Chapter Twenty-Three: Friend or Foe
"Lang, I know this is a deer, I understand what you mean, but I don't understand it." Wuyun scratched his hair and looked at Wang Lang in distress.
"If you look at these pictures, if you use pictures to record information or express ideas, it must be very troublesome, for example, this deer, the most significant feature is the two horns on the head, can we just draw this feature, use this feature to represent the deer, isn't this a lot simpler, with this method, we can simplify a lot of things, only leave the main features, such as the fire over there, you can draw its form." Wang Lang said and drew a simple flame pattern on the cliff wall.
As if seeing the gate to a new world, the dark clouds were very emotional, picking up a piece of charcoal and scribbling on the cliff wall.
Wang Lang looked at the dark clouds with a focused expression, smiled, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Whether it is a primitive society or a modern society, there are many people like Wuyun who have an almost pathological spirit of specialization in the things they love. ”
Wang Lang felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of spirit, if the tribe grew stronger in the future, there would be more people like Wuyun, and he would be able to feel more relaxed.
"Lang, we still feel that it is a little inappropriate to let the dark clouds enjoy such high glory." Jianya said in a firm tone.
Wang Lang didn't expect these people to be so important to let future generations remember this matter, after a moment of silence, Wang Lang said with a strong attitude: "Wuyun wants to complete a very important thing, if this thing can be completed, it will be very important to us, I have paid attention to it, who can make great contributions to the tribe in the future, I will engrave their names and deeds on the clay plate for future generations to admire." ”
People are a little dissatisfied with Wang Lang's tough approach, but after thinking about it, this approach doesn't seem to hurt, but it is possible to get this glory yourself, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one said anything against it, this kind of glory is very important to their status in the tribe, and getting glory may not be as practical as getting more food, but people want to be respected by others, and human vanity is almost carved into the bones. As long as it is a person of normal intelligence, he hopes that others will be able to agree.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Wang Lang said: "Since no one objected, this matter is decided, it's not too early, let's go back to sleep!" ”
People glanced at the dark clouds that were still painting, and there was a faint hint of envy in their eyes, and they didn't know what kind of shit luck this guy had taken to get the guidance of the gods.
Awakened from their deep sleep, everyone was very sleepy, yawned and returned to their resting place, and fell asleep with careful thoughts.
Seeing that Wuyun was still painting there, Wang Lang sighed, walked over and patted Wuyun's shoulder, and said, "This is not something that can be completed in a short time, go sleep." ”
Wuyuntou didn't reply and said, "Lang, I'm not sleepy, I'm painting for a while." ”
Wang Lang frowned slightly, and said a little unhappily: "There is still a lot of work to be done tomorrow, you are not in a hurry about this, you want others to work tomorrow, but you are sleeping?" ”
Wuyun stopped what he was doing, was silent for a while, and said, "Lang, I know, I'll go to sleep." ”
Wang Lang nodded, yawned, and ignored the dark clouds, he was too sleepy.
The next day, Wang Lang asked Jianya and Huo to go to the place where the trap was set yesterday to take a look, and explained that if they caught small animals or young beasts, and there were no dead or injured animals, they would come back and inform themselves, and the other prey would be killed directly and the meat would be brought back.
Jianfang and Fire memorized Wang Lang's words and left the tribe with their weapons.
At this time, in the dense forest a few kilometers away from Wang Lang's tribe, more than a dozen men and women who were tied with their hands behind their backs and their necks strung together with a long bamboo pole were numb and driven forward by some people with green paint on their bodies.
Every now and then one or two people would fall to the ground, and since they were all tied together, one fell and brought everyone down, a scene that caused the chaseers to laugh as if they had seen a ridiculous picture.
As long as these people did not stand up immediately, the sticks would be struck down on their heads and faces, and almost all of them were injured, and even their calves had been broken, twisted into a strange angle, and hung down below their knees, and they could only use one leg to jump forward.
Two hours later, Jianya and Kazuhuo arrived at the place where the netting trap was, and to their delight, the trap had been triggered, and a black-haired wild boar hung motionless in the net, which was constantly shaking in midair.
Jianya didn't know if this guy was dead, so he walked over and stabbed him with the tip of his spear, and the wild boar suddenly struggled violently, and Jianya jumped down by this sudden struggle, raised his spear, and stabbed at the wild boar, and it didn't take long for the wild boar to stop struggling.
Huo walked under the net and carefully examined the prey he had caught, the boar was so large that there was no way to bring it back with the strength of two people.
Such a large wild boar is extremely difficult to catch according to the previous hunting methods, and the wild boar, if provoked, is irrational, and will attack its enemies in a frenzy regardless of it, and the two long fangs will be terrified even by the best predators.
Both the fangs and the fire were eyeing the two fangs, and if they were worn as an ornament, it would be a symbol of courage, and capturing such a large boar would make one of the best warriors in the tribe.
Just as the fangs and fire were heading out what to do with the boar, a terrible cry could be heard from the depths of the forest.
"Did you hear that?" Fire asked, looking at Jianya.
Jianya nodded solemnly.
The miserable cry made Huo's heart tense,
"Jianya, what should I do, it sounds like there are a lot of people over there, should we go over?"
Jianya looked at the wild boar and then looked in the direction where the voice came from, gritted his teeth and said, "Put the prey down and hide it first, let's go over and take a look." ”
Fire hesitated, but nodded quickly, and with a swift move they lowered the boar and dragged him to a nearby bush, chopped some branches to cover it, and then hid the net used to lay the trap.
The two glanced at each other, and cautiously walked in the direction from which the voice came.
