Chapter 39: Temptation

All sadness is a pastime after eating.

Lin Ji is a man who wants to become the king of prehistory, and the morning exercise is about to begin, and he is going to go to the morning exercise; After morning exercise, he had to go out fishing; If he had time, he would have to find a way to clean up the squirrels that were whistling...... He still had so much to do, so he touched his stomach and felt that he was still full, so he chose to go back to the shack to catch up on sleep.

Therefore, on this day, Lin Ji did not participate in the morning exercise, nor did he eat the tribe's taste fish breakfast.

"Trace! Oh no! Bear Paw said that there were no fish upstream, that he was going downstream, and that he was already gone. When Dunmu dragged Lin Ji out of the shack, he found that Lin Ji had not slept with red eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Bear Paw was shocked by the falconry hunting in the forest yesterday. Later, after hearing that Lin Ji was caught with a net, he almost became angry and wanted to cut people. It seems that he held back all night and finally came up with a way to get angry.

He's going to fish downstream today, and he's going to see what they do. There are many tributaries in the upper reaches, which tributaries have been plagued and which ones have not, except for the three of them, no one knows, the forest traces went today, and it is estimated that not a single basket of fish can be recovered.

Lin Ji slowly sat up and said, "There may be no fish upstream, let him go." Sooner or later, there will be this day. Anyway, today we're going to lose, so sit a little longer and let me figure something out. ”

Dunmu is an honest child, but he doesn't want to be lazy, he continued to drag Lin Ji and said, "Do you want to go on the raft?" I'll hold you up. ”

Lin Ji had no choice but to get on the raft and let the pier wood row away.

Today the eagle stayed to boil the ghost eagle, and the bear paw followed it downstream, which was considered the same road, so they only had four children in this line.

Sitting on the raft, Lin Ji floated forward with the water waves in the morning light, and his thoughts couldn't help but diverge: "Dunmu, you said that next time Hu Yi'er comes, we shouldn't be like this, right?" I'm huddled in a shack with you with a girl...... It was still snowing, and we had to huddle in a cave, right? And Da Ji stuffed everything into the cave, and now that people can't squeeze it out, it's time to build a house......"

"Those squirrels were so annoying that I finally said goodbye, and they jumped down to block my view and made me look at Hu Yi'er less...... This revenge will be avenged. I know a mousetrap made of cans, but I can't make cans, and it's not easy to punch holes with bamboo tubes......"

"It's too slow to prop up this raft every day, and our time is wasted on the road. If it's a canoe, the resistance is much less, and we can go a little faster...... But to make this canoe, if you use stone tools, it will take a year to flatten the bottom surface, right? Or do you have to dig it, or can you burn it with fire? Anyway, it takes a long time......"

"Dunmu, I'm a person who has just fallen in love, and my IQ is zero, should I be forgiven for doing something impulsive? It stands to reason that if it was just an accident...... It's not to blame me, don't you say it's a dun wood? ”

"This solution is so good, I didn't think of it before? I'm so confused by the bear's claw...... I just don't know if they will make a fool of the bear claws and throw them away......"

Lin Ji chattered. Dunmu didn't hear a word. He was very worried that Lin Ji was contaminated with something evil outside, and he wanted to go back immediately and let Daji exorcise evil spirits for him...... But Lin Ji didn't seem to believe this.

After a few miles of rafting, Lin Ji suddenly stood up and pointed to a small tributary: "We haven't fished this river before, have we?" We're going to fish this river today, and we're not going downstream to fight with them. ”

The small tributary was no more than three or five meters wide, and the red monkey shouted in front of it: "You said last time that the raft can't get in, and the net can't be spread, so let's not go." ”

Lin Ji had already turned the raft: "Slow down the raft, you can get in." Don't spread the net too big, and don't we have a net pocket? I feel like we can have a big harvest today. ”

After Lin Ji returned from running in the wild for two days and one night, his reputation among the children has soared, and now the red monkeys have already recognized themselves as little brothers. The boss spoke, and the group followed in.

It turned out that the small tributary was indeed too narrow, and it didn't take long to support the raft. Several people waded through the water with baskets on their backs, fishing all the way, and the harvest was not bad.

It didn't take long for him to walk, but Dunmu, who was left behind, accidentally picked up a strange object from the sand and stones.

"What is this?" Dunmu held the object full of amazement.

It was a stone axe-like thing. But it's so much more beautiful than a stone axe. It has angular lines, there are no traces of polishing on the plane, and its blade is snow-white, looking thin and fast. Even its wooden handle is very beautiful. There is no bark on the wooden stalk, but it is shiny and yellow-orange-orange is unusually pleasing to the eye.

The most important thing is that the handle of the axe is not tied to the body of the axe, but is worn through. It seems that there has never been such a stone axe.

This is a wide-mouthed mountain axe. The forest trails were thrown out of the small town.

Lin Ji took it, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked Dunmu pretendedly: "Dunmu, did you make it?" The handiwork is good. ”

Dunmu said honestly: "No, I picked it up in the water." ”

The vermilion monkey and the stone beak immediately looked into the water, why didn't they see it when they walked ahead? Naturally, there was nothing left in the water. The two turned their heads again and looked at this strange object, all of them were as surprised as aliens: "What is this?" ”

"This is an axe, right? I just don't know what kind of stone it was made with. Let's see if it's good or not. Lin Ji explained, slashing diagonally at a wrist-thick branch on the side.

There was a soft thud, and the branches broke smoothly.

Good axe! This effect is shocking.

Several children were shocked and immediately clamoured: "I'll try, I'll try." ”

"Don't rob it, hold it steady, don't cut people, you'll die."

For a while, the grass and trees suffered, leaving bare gaps everywhere.

After making trouble for a long time, Lin Ji put the axe into the fish basket, picked it up and said, "Let's go, go back and report to Daji." ”

The three children also fastened the lid of the basket and looked carefully into the forest, lest they be discovered: "Go, go back." ”

If you pick up a treasure, you can't be robbed.

The four of them returned to the tribe, and the sun had not yet risen to midday.

The women of the tribe had finished picking the chestnuts in the forest and had become idle. Now some people dig kudzu roots and pick wild vegetables around, and some people stay in the tribe to deal with more and more dried fish and dried meat. There were also people with children who fought with squirrels - they were drying chestnuts.

When they saw Lin Ji and the four people coming back, they all felt quite strange, and they felt even more strange when they saw that they even threw their fishing baskets and nets by the river, and ran to the cave where Daji was with a thing.

"Daji, we picked up a baby!" The irrepressible voice of the red monkey sounded loudly in the cave.

Not long after, they saw the eagle being pulled over, waving a strange thing and easily cutting off a waist-thick tree on the edge of the camp.

This kind of tree may not be cut down in a day with a stone axe, so in everyone's opinion, it is indestructible.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the whole tribe became strange.

The wind picked up at sunset, but Bear Paw still felt his chest burning. There were more fish downstream than he thought. So today is a full return. It's just that they didn't expect that the counter-current would be so laborious when it was fully loaded, so they came back a little later.

They didn't see Lin Ji and the others downstream today, and their harvest must have been very poor, and Bear Paw was ready to taunt Lin Ji.

In the past few days, he has been exercising with his morning, and now he has more catches than Lin Ji, so he wants to see if this kid dares to go wild in front of him.

As soon as they came ashore with the basket on their backs, they noticed that the atmosphere of the tribe was not right.

The raft used for the forest trail has been dragged ashore, and even the water damage has dried. They came back so early?

When they come back on weekdays, there are always people who come to carry the fish, but today there is none. Looking at it from a distance, the people of the tribe seemed to be watching something together, and from time to time there were people talking about it, and they didn't know what had happened today.

And when they looked at the tribe from the river, they always felt that something was wrong in their view. But I just can't remember.

A few people hurried back, and soon saw children playing with some wood chips with smooth surfaces.

"What is this?" Bear Paw snatched the sawdust from the child's hand, and found that he had never seen such a smooth thing, and for a while he did not recognize it.

But soon, he knew what it was, for he saw the tribe fall from a tree, and the tree's fracture was full of these smooth cuts.

He put down his basket and squeezed into the crowd, and found that the tribesmen had stopped what they were doing, and watched the eagle deal with the bamboo with a strange thing.

Bear Paw has never seen such an efficient tool. Between the eagles used that thing to cut, shave, cut, chop, roll saw, etc., and used it with great joy. The bamboo tubes were also cut off like crispy stems in his hands, cutting holes out of them.

The people in the back inserted the broken pieces of bamboo into the holes, tied the rope sleeves with bayonets, and the strange objects were made one by one.

Bear Paw was a little frightened in his heart, and when Da Ji saw that he was back, he asked with a little smile, "You are well-informed, see what this is?" ”

Bear Paw wanted to take the axe and look at it, but when he reached out and was lightly touched, a bloody wound immediately bleed. Seeing that this thing was so sharp, and understanding what was going on with the tree, a chill welled up in Bear Paw's heart, and he roared: "Monster! Monster! We can't keep it. ”

Everyone was full of weirdness, and this time even Daji's face became unsightly.
