Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang fell asleep peacefully under the fire tree according to Emperor Sui's instructions. When they woke up, they were far away from the desert and the oasis. At this time, the two of them also left the dream, only to hear the sound of the wind in their ears, and sometimes the sound of a big bird chirping.

When they opened their eyes, they saw themselves floating in the air. I saw thousands of mountains and rivers roaring by, and the shadow of Suiming Kingdom in front of me had long since disappeared. The two of them walked with the wind for a while, and after a while, the Jiang Shui River hidden between the green mountains in Jiang Shui's hometown appeared in front of them.

The emperor and Niangniang couldn't help but press the clouds on their heads, and they landed in front of their house impartially. It happened that the Red Emperor was busy at home, and he was very surprised to see the return of the second emperor, so he quickly put down his work and led a group of younger brothers and sisters, Hulala knelt down to greet the Fuxi Emperor and Nuwa Niangniang.

They hurriedly summoned the sick children, but they saw that the children had miraculously turned the corner, and they were relieved.

Niangniang looked at everyone, and she said in surprise: "Children, fortunately you are safe and sound, and now my hanging heart has finally been put down." Think about how sad it was to think of how sick you were at that time, and it was really rare for you to recover like this, and whose credit was this? ”

Emperor Fuxi glanced at the Red Emperor, and he was already a little sure in his heart. He said, "Honorable sister! Does this need to be asked? It must be the credit of our Chi'er. ”

When everyone heard Emperor Fuxi say this, they also said in unison: "Yes, respect father and mother, it was the Red Emperor's brother who helped us cure our illness." ”

When the Red Emperor heard this, he hurriedly said modestly: "Respect father and mother!" Son, how can I do that? The key is the spell cast when the two deities leave. Because of that timely spell, the condition of my younger brothers and sisters has been basically controlled, and their illness will not spread. Later, I saw that people had not eaten for several days, they were hungry, and there was nothing to eat at home. I went to pick some mountain grass and came back for everyone to eat, but I didn't expect that it was also crooked, and their condition miraculously improved. Later, I let them eat it several times in a row, and everyone's condition finally stabilized. ”

The Emperor laughed and said, "Not bad! Chi'er! Although you don't know how to be proud, this time you have the greatest credit. But I have to thank you so much, you have kept our big family! Children, we have gained a lot from going out this time, and we have learned the technique of making fire from the edge wood. I believe that as long as everyone eats cooked food from now on, we will be able to prevent the occurrence of diseases. ”

Since Emperor Fuxi taught people to use fire, everyone has switched to eating cooked food, and they are not prone to illness from then on. The people of the whole tribe are healthy, their physique is better, and their life expectancy is relatively longer.

One day, Nuwa Niangniang said to the emperor: "Brother Venerable, you also know that at present, we have more and more children, but our food is getting less and less. Now, everyone is in an embarrassing state of eating the last meal but not the next. I don't think this is a long way, we have to think of a way to do it quickly. ”

Emperor Fuxi sighed and said, "Honorable sister, I have already discovered these problems. This is due to the fact that the natural environment here has been relatively peaceful recently, the population of our tribe has multiplied rapidly, and people have been hunting for a long time. So, by now, in most areas around us, there are fewer and fewer prey to catch. Due to our excessive hunting, the ecology is out of balance, and it is not surprising that people cannot find anything to eat. But in the face of these situations, I have long been aware of the solution, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

Because the Suiren clan had taught people to catch fish and shrimp to supplement the food shortage, Emperor Fuxi also wanted to follow suit. On this day, the emperor came to the Jiangshui River and wanted to catch a few small fish and go back for everyone to taste. However, the emperor soaked in the river and caught fish all morning, but he didn't catch a single fish, so angry that the emperor climbed ashore and squatted by the river to meditate.

The emperor wanted to use his magic power to catch the fish again, but he performed several magic skills, but he saw that the magic power had already lost its effect, and he didn't succeed once. Those fish seemed to be deliberately angry with him, and when the emperor exerted his strength, those fish were staring at him around. But as soon as he finished his work, the fish had already swam away without a trace.

The Great Emperor knew that he and Nuwa Niangniang had indeed lost their skills, and the reason why they were able to return to Jiang Shui was also with the help of a little divine power given by Emperor Sui, and after they returned, they returned to a state of divine powerlessness.

The emperor couldn't catch the fish, and he couldn't think of a clue, so he had to sigh in frustration on the shore. The Emperor stared at the river with wide eyes, and he watched the waves of fish swimming in the water as if they were rushing around, but he couldn't catch them after several attempts. The emperor was tired after being busy for most of the day, so he took a few sips of water from the river, and finally he simply lay down on the bank and fell asleep.

Not long after the Emperor lay down, a large spider crawled on top of him, and the Emperor was so frightened that he hurriedly threw it away. It was thrown out, but the spider had an elastic silk thread attached to it. The Emperor found that the spider was hanging from a small tree, and that one end of the thread was still attached to him.

The Emperor finally tore off the silk thread, and he picked up a small branch to pick off the spider. Before the Emperor could poke it, he saw that the spider had begun to form a web. In a short time, a large and dense net was formed.

The Emperor poked it with a branch again, but the net flickered and flickered, and the Emperor didn't want to destroy it. After a while, a fly stuck to it. The Emperor thought it was amusement, so he held his breath and stared at the flies struggling there. But after a while, there was another buzzing sound in my ears, and a bee flew over, and it was also stuck in the net. The two insects struggled for a long time, but they didn't break free from the net.

Seeing spiders weaving webs in the trees, Emperor Fuxi was inspired. He was overjoyed and thought to himself that if he could make a similar big fishing net, it might be much easier to catch fish with it. So, the emperor found some soft grass on the spot, and he began to weave it like a spider's web. However, because the fresh grass is too brittle and not strong, such nets will rot if they cannot be braided at all.

The Emperor thought about it and found the reason, so he went to pull some grass and dry it on the river beach, and then went home. The next day, when Emperor Fuxi saw that the grass was wilted and had become tough, he kneaded them into very thin and thin strings.

After rubbing for a long time, the strings were estimated to be enough, and the emperor continued to weave in the shape of the spider's web by the river. Because weaving is also a delicate job, the emperor finally made a net with patience and annoyance, but when he lifted it up, he looked left and right and felt that it was not presentable, so angry that the emperor quickly dismantled it. In this way, he dismantled and dismantled, and after repeated pondering and research by the emperor, the first fishing net was finally born.

The Emperor happily threw the net into the river, but after waiting for a long time, not a single fish was caught. What's going on? It turned out that the mesh was too big. So, the emperor carried out encryption weaving again, until he felt that it was almost time and the sun was about to set.

Emperor Fuxi took advantage of the afterglow of the sunset and hurriedly cast the fishing net again, oh! This time it was terrible, as soon as the fishing net fell into the water, it had a heavy feeling. The Emperor gathered his strength violently, and he pulled it up a few times before pulling the fishing net up. Ay! It's a full harvest!

The Emperor put away his fishing nets and imagined his family eating grilled fish around a campfire, and his saliva flowed. When the emperor returned home, he put the fishing net on the ground, and dozens of fresh fish jumped and scattered all over the ground.

The emperor didn't see Nuwa Niangniang, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Honorable sister, come over and see what this is?" ”

Nuwa Niangniang hurriedly ran out of the grass hut, looking at the group of fresh fish jumping around, Niangniang said in surprise: "Brother Zun, no wonder I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you get these fish?" ”

Emperor Fuxi said proudly: "Honorable sister! In the future, if you want to eat fish, just let me know, and I will catch it for you anytime, anywhere. Because I found that there were too many fish and shrimp in our rivers, lakes and seas, I made up my mind to let everyone eat fresh fish. Now, even fishing nets have been invented. From now on, I will teach my children how to weave nets and fish as soon as possible. Maybe we don't have to worry about the children not having enough to eat anymore. ”

Nuwa Niangniang said happily: "Brother Zun, I don't feel good when I see the children screaming with hunger all day long. In the future, we can use this method to fish, as long as everyone has food, we don't have to worry, which can solve the big problem of our children. ”

Ever since everyone learned how to fish, they have eaten fish at almost every meal. Although it is a good thing to have fish to eat, after all, fish are aquatic creatures, and they are cold, and many people eat fish every day and do not digest well, and they have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Also because with the arrival of the cold season, some herbaceous plants have become scarce, so it is better to hunt beasts from time to time to eat them.

After Emperor Fuxi saw this situation, he said to Nuwa Niangniang: "Sister Venerable, have you noticed that because we have caught a large number of fish, there is also a surplus of beasts we hunt. In order to prevent sitting and eating empty, we might as well put those living and relatively docile herbivores up and feed them. Then, let's domesticate them in case we need them. I think that living beasts are not easy to spoil, and we keep them to store food and eat it when there is a shortage of food. Let's prepare for both in this way, so that everyone will not starve in the future, which can be regarded as a multi-task. ”

Nuwa Niangniang said happily: "Brother Venerable, this is also a good way, you can do it according to your own ideas." ”

Therefore, Emperor Fuxi sent people to the forest to get some stout little trees and branches, and strengthened these branches in order, enclosed them into a large fence, and then enclosed some docile beasts in them for breeding. After a long period of breeding, many mammals slowly get used to the human environment.

After long-term domestication by man, these beasts gradually wore away their wild nature and were domesticated into poultry and domestic animals. For example, wild wolves, after being domesticated, become domestic dogs. After the domestic dog was domesticated, it also became a good helper for people. Because of the dog's keen sense of smell, it can not only be used to watch the house, but also to help people hunt other animals.

And some wild sheep, pheasants, wild ducks, bison, wild horses, and hares have become the objects of domestication. They are grazed and domesticated and quickly adapted to get along with people, and the offspring they reproduce are also protected and kept by people. With the natural increase in the number of livestock, their fur was used to protect them from the cold, and their muscles were used to eat, so that people basically kept food and clothing.

One day, Emperor Fuxi said to Nuwa Niangniang: "Zun Mei, I know that except for a small number of people in this world, we are the children of the two of us, and the others are all children made up by you with clay. These people are now distributed all over the world, and they live in the mountains and seas. Most of them chose their own mothers as the leaders, and they ruled separately under the leadership of the female leaders, and most of them also entered the matrilineal clan society.

Since matrilineal clan communes do not have a clear concept of family among people, their family relations have always been disorganized. In fact, in such a confused family environment, it is difficult for people to distinguish their exact position in the family, and they do not know the order of generations in their own family.

They generally eat and live in groups, that is, the whole group eats and lives together. Moreover, there is no distinction between the eldest and the youngest within their families, but they marry unscrupulously without restrictions on ethics. Because there are no proper laws to bind them, they do not know even the most basic civilized morals and the courtesy of the elders. ”

Nuwa Niangniang also said: "Yes, brother! In the face of such a mixed phenomenon of promiscuous marriage, it will also lead to the degradation of our race. So, I've wanted to talk to you about it for a long time. In my opinion, we should advocate the principle of marriage between men and women, and encourage women to go out of the house and marry with foreigners, so as to prevent this disorderly chaos from continuing to occur and causing the immature reversal of human defeat. ”

The Emperor continued: "Yes, if everyone marries and starts a family like us, then parents will know who their children are. If you are a child, you will also know who your parents are. Therefore, everyone can respect the young and orderly, the generations are distinct, and the grandparents and grandchildren can be seen at a glance. Since then, there has been a distinction between far and near blood, loyalty, filial piety, honesty and shame have a clue, and social individuals with family as a unit can appear. ”

Nuwa Niangniang nodded, and said very happily: "Brother Venerable, you have spoken to my heart again, I have long been looking forward to the arrival of this civilized world one day sooner." However, this is also a very difficult project to do, which requires you to trek through mountains and rivers, manage all kinds of opportunities every day, and inspect the world in the open air. But I can't go with you because of my young son, and it's going to be hard for you again. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Honorable sister! Since we have the same goal, we need to achieve it as soon as possible. In fact, there is nothing hard in this world, as long as we are willing to do it. ”
