Chapter 12: The Doll's Cave

Breakfast was still lizard meat, and Tang Ge felt that if he continued to eat barbecue meat every day, he would become a real savage sooner or later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, Honggu came at breakfast and brought Tang Ge a bag of peaches, which can be regarded as a lifesaver. If you don't order vegetables and fruits, according to this way of eating, Tang Ge estimates that he will not be far from gastrointestinal diseases.

Looking at the big stone that he was gobbling up, Tang Ge thought that this guy's stomach must be made of iron. For the sake of his belly, Tang Ge began to vaguely put on big stones, so he began to complain: "It's barbecue every day, it's so annoying to eat!" ”

Big Stone replied, "Then what else do you want to eat?" ”

Tang Ge began to lead the topic: "Isn't there any other way to eat meat than roasting it over fire?" ”

Dashi said: "That's not it, in addition to roasting it over fire, it can also be eaten by boiling, and the boiled meat is also very delicious." After saying that, he seemed to taste the taste of boiled meat, and he unconsciously sucked his saliva.

Tang Ge is happy, and finally mentioned this stubble. Then he asked, "Then let's also cook meat and eat it." ”

Dashi shook his head and said, "No, you need to use pottery to cook meat, and only Fat Wu has pottery in our tribe." That thing is precious, and you are not allowed to touch it until the sacrifice. ”

Tang Ge was surprised, so he asked, "Pottery is so precious?" Isn't it hard to get? ”

Dashi said: "That's not it, ordinary pottery is a little expensive, but it's not a particularly precious thing." The pottery at Fat Witch is different. Fat Witch's pottery is not only very large, but also has paintings on it. ”

Tang Ge understood, what the fat witch was there must be painted pottery. Pottery is simple to make, and the clay billet can be burned by fire. It is also complicated to say that it is complicated, what kind of mud is used, what is mixed with something, whether the thickness of the blank is uniform, whether the shape of the vessel is smooth, whether there is a dark wound, all affect the success rate of pottery firing, and the larger the pottery, the more difficult it is to fire. In the previous life, science and technology were developed enough, and there was a success rate in making porcelain. At the level of primitive society, it is estimated that it would be good to burn ten pieces into two or three pieces, not to mention the labor-intensive and time-consuming "luxury" of large-scale painted pottery. Hearing that porcelain was not difficult to obtain, Tang Ge felt that pots and pans seemed to be not far from him.

Tang Ge then asked Da Shi: "Then why don't we have pottery?" ”

Da Shi sighed and said to Tang Ge: "Let me tell you, the pottery matter, it's not that we can't afford to change it, but we can't change it." ”

Tang Ge is very puzzled, since there is a change, why can't it be changed? Could it be that there are still people who deliberately embarrass their tribe? At the moment, he asked curiously, "Why can't you change it?" Do the pottery makers have a grudge against us? ”

Da Shi thought for a long time before answering Tang Ge: "I told you that our tribe is different from other tribes. The most different thing is that other tribes are all people from the same tribe, but our tribe is a group of people from many tribes. Although we can hunt and the prey is still abundant, the prey is not a rare thing, so compared to other tribes, we are still very poor. And the fat witch is not the same as the witch in other tribes. In other tribes, the excess population can be replaced, or men or women can be replaced with what the tribe needs. But the fat witch never sends the people in the tribe to trade, no matter men and women, adults and children, they don't change any of them. In the tribe, whatever is needed, everything is exchanged for things. Therefore, whenever there is anything good in the tribe, it must be exchanged for necessities. Pottery is not something that everyone can use. If someone can use someone and someone doesn't, there will be conflicts, so the fat witch never lets him change. ”

Tang Ge couldn't figure it out again. In his opinion, it was normal for people to exchange people in primitive societies by bartering things. Especially the population, everyone can't all be close relatives married, right? Exchanging people of the right age to marry each other is also something that the tribe must do. But the fat witch wants to be a pixiu, only eating and not vomiting. None of the people in the tribe give an outside, what is this fat woman going to do? If it goes on like this, is it good for the development of the tribe?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that their tribe is monogamous, and the status of men and women is equal, there are more men and fewer women in the tribe, except for Honggu, there seems to be no adult women who are single. These are different from what he knew about primitive tribes in his previous life. Doesn't it mean a matriarchal society? Even in a patrilineal society, it doesn't seem to be like this. On top of that, the Fat Witch also seems to have allowed the tribe to have private property. The people in the tribe, after completing the assigned tasks, always have a little time to rest. During this time, if you go out hunting or gathering, you will get all your own. The stone knives of large stones are obtained by hunting alone in their leisure time and exchanging them for prey.

Tang Ge asked Da Shi about this matter, and Da Shi said that such things were not allowed in other tribes. Being born as a tribal person, and dying as a tribal ghost is a true portrayal of this society. As long as you live, you must obey the arrangement of the tribe in everything you do, and anything you do belongs to the public property of the tribe. Although the people in their own tribe are at most hunting some prey and gathering some fruits, and the great thing is to exchange the things they gather alone for some small things or food and the like to enjoy alone, but this is indeed private property. Tang Ge felt that he couldn't understand the fat woman of the fat witch.

Tang Ge thinks that Fat Witch is the main enemy in his life, and his resentment towards Fat Witch can no longer be described in words. Thinking about the terrifying scene that day, Tang Ge hated it so much. Originally, he thought that it would not be easy to clean up a primitive person with his own wisdom, but now he felt the need to re-examine this fat woman.

Tang Ge felt that it was not difficult to fire pottery, and in his previous life, because of drinking tea, he had a deep infatuation with purple clay pots for a period of time. I read all kinds of information about the purple clay pot on the Internet. What is full of hands and half hands, what purple mud and vermilion mud bottom groove is clear, what water is sand transfer, etc., etc., almost to touch a thorough. Even the classification of pot types has been memorized a lot. Many people who sell purple clay pots on the Internet show their own handmade process, which is really a picture and a truth, and at that time it was also crazy to watch, and I can't wait to understand every detail.

When Tang Ge's brain calmed down and he felt that the purple clay pot was not as magical as the legend, he had already acquired several pot types that he was obsessed with at the beginning. Later, although I slowly forgot about the purple clay pot, and even put the pot that had been raised for a long time on the top of the cabinet to eat ashes, but the production process can still be remembered now. The purple sand pot is pottery, and the same process, replacing the purple sand with clay, is almost a complete strategy for making pottery. In particular, the handmade purple clay pot, if the tools used are not too strict, can be replaced in this Stone Age.

So Tang Ge made a bold decision. He decided to make his own pottery.

As soon as he thought of it, he told the big stone his idea, and the big stone was flustered for a long time, telling him that the tribe had not tried to fire pottery, but it had never succeeded. That thing breaks at every turn, and if it doesn't break by luck, there are many cracks, and it can't be used at all. If the billet is not done well, it will even explode during the firing process.

Tang Ge understood the reason, but he couldn't explain it to Dashi. I can only keep this thing silently in my heart. After all, making pottery is not an overnight effort, at least some tools must be prepared.

*********

Da Shi stayed at home with Tang Ge for three days. In three days, Tang Ge gained a new understanding of their tribe through side knocks.

The tribe usually gathers and hunts, and the gathering includes the collection of fruits, grains and vegetables, as well as various medicinal herbs, and most of the women in the tribe do this. Hunting is a hunting party thing. When it is safe to do so, the hunting team will try to hunt as much game as possible. Usually, the tribe eats fresh ingredients, and if you can't finish it, you will make it into bacon and dried fruits and vegetables. When you can't go hunting and gathering, you rely on these to make a living.

Every year, a large number of animal populations migrate. This is the harvest season for the tribe. You don't have to work hard to find it, just place a trap and countless prey will be harvested. Animals migrate generally in autumn. This season is the season of large-scale tribal hunting, sometimes several tribes will meet together to hunt, the prey hunted is naturally very abundant, in addition to daily consumption, will be made into dried meat products, stored for the coming winter. 、

There were also slaves in the tribe. Some were captives in clashes of the clans, and most were bought at bazaars.

A personal captive or purchased outsider can exist as a private slave of the family, but you must ensure that he does not wreak havoc in the tribe. Generally speaking, such a slave is treated the most harshly, and if the master is angered, he can be slaughtered with a knife, and no one will think that there is anything wrong. But most of the slaves were bought by the tribe in the bazaars with public property. This kind of slave has no foundation, and even if they escape, they will not be able to return to their original tribe, and even most of the tribe will be wiped out at all. These slaves were treated very well and were not mistreated. The thatched houses in the tribe were for them. Because of the good treatment, the slaves rarely escaped. Slaves in the tribe who have lived in the tribe for a long time or who have contributed to the tribe will be included as members of the tribe. Only members of the tribe are eligible to pick a cave, or dig one yourself. The treatment is good, and there is hope, so these slaves are very hard to contribute to the tribe, and even sometimes the outsiders can't tell whether this person is a slave or a tribesman.

There is not a lot of communication between the tribe and the outer tribes, and there are also several tribes around that are friendly with each other, and they move around each other frequently. There are even times when large hunts, where several tribes unite, and the remaining women, children, and children are gathered in the same tribe. Every month, when the moon is full, it is the day when dozens of surrounding tribes trade. Instead of trading time, what you need can be exchanged for a nearby tribe. Even if you don't need to change anything, just passing by will be warmly welcomed.

The children are not just playing, but also have tasks such as collecting firewood and grinding arrowheads. However, because these jobs are assigned by the family, as a much-loved little stone, he has not done this, so the underage children in Tang Ge's impression seem to be just having fun. Such a perception is wrong.

The Fat Witch is truly extraordinary. Because in other small and medium-sized tribes, there are no witches. Their tribe is not large, but they have a wizard who is proficient in witchcraft and healing, which is almost a very magical existence in the surrounding tribes. The surrounding small and medium-sized tribes will also come to the fat witch for healing if they have a disease, so the surrounding tribes try to befriend them as much as possible, and there are not many hostile tribes. This is also where there are not many tribal wars and can develop steadily.

Tang Ge walked around the tribe in the past three days and gained a lot of surprises. First of all, on the east side of the opposite hill, there is a large bamboo forest, from which the bamboo used in the tribe is obtained. Tang Ge went to see it, and the dense bamboos were so large in a row. Bamboo is almost a treasure for Tang Ge, and there is almost no uselessness from top to bottom. However, because he didn't need it for the time being, Tang Ge didn't move this bamboo forest, not only did he not cut down the bamboo, but he didn't even dig the bamboo shoots, because Tang Ge didn't know how to eat the bamboo shoots。。。。。 As someone who has traveled back in time from the 21st century, there are indeed enough failures.

Another big harvest was that Tang Ge found a batch of crops. First of all, there is rape. This season, the rape has long passed the harvest season, the rape trees have dried up and lodging, and the rapeseed pods have fallen to the ground and have rotted. However, Tang Ge still remembered the place where he found rape. He believes that new rape will grow here in the coming year.

The second big harvest is the beans, Tang Ge actually found three beans on the edge of the bamboo forest, there were indeed only three, Tang Ge ran around and didn't find another one. Tang Ge repeated his old trick and used bamboo branches and branches to protect the three beans. Looking at the tall beans climbing on the bamboo, Tang Ge believed that it wouldn't be long before he had a lot of seeds to harvest.

The third is water spinach, the first time I saw water spinach Tang Ge just had a feeling of déjà vu, and I couldn't be sure what it was. After all, the two or three meters long vine branches are very different from the water spinach bought in the vegetable market in his previous life, which is not very long, until he pinched a section and dared to taste it a little to be sure, and then it was a little surprise. I ate water spinach all my life in my last life, but I didn't know that water spinach was creepy.

The last one is the fungus vegetables, strictly speaking, the fungus vegetables are not Tang Ge's harvest. Because these things grow a lot around the tribe, they will grow up in a circle on the things that can be attached to them, which is very regular and looks beautiful. The tribe also often picks the leaves of fungus to eat. The fat heart-shaped leaves are very pleasing to look at.

In addition to crops, Tang Ge's other harvest is a knife. A bone knife. Tang Ge didn't take the chat with Da Shi about weapons that day to heart, but Da Shi remembered it in his heart. I don't know where this bone knife got the big stone, but I can see that it hasn't been used for a long time. The blade of the knife is connected to the handle, and it is only more than a slap, slightly larger than the bone knife used by the fat witch to open the knife for Tang Ge, but the edge of the knife is not sharp, but the back of the knife is very thick. Probably because of the durability, the cutting edge will pause a little. But overall, this was also the first knife Tang Ge had in this world, which made Tang Ge very excited for a while.

***************************

Perhaps Big Stone felt that his son was back to normal, and three days later, Big Stone went out hunting with the hunting party. Before leaving, he persuaded Tang Ge to stop being naughty, and Tang Ge repeatedly promised that he would be honest at home, and Dashi set off with confidence.

Tang Ge swayed to the doll cave with a dog's gnawing hairstyle, and when he arrived at the place, Honggu hugged him and made love to him. Finally got rid of Honggu and entered the cave, a group of little children were playing lively, and when they saw Tang Ge coming in, they were silent, but they just looked at him in a daze. It is very clean street tiger style.

Tang Ge was very surprised by this, but he didn't care to find his bed and lie down, and a group of little children became lively again.

Before Tang Ge could start thinking about his pottery industry, a messy head appeared in front of him, with a big head, a black face, and big eyes. Generally speaking, children with big eyes always give people a sense of agility, but this guy is different, his eyes are very beautiful but they don't turn much, and he feels a little dull. The person who came was Lao Jiu's son, whose name was Qingguo. The name is very good, but this guy has the same appearance as him, his brain is not very fond of turning, a little clumsy, and a little timid. Because Dashi and Lao Jiu are good friends, they grew up together since childhood. Qingguo and Xiaoshi are the same age, and the two have grown up together since they were children, so they naturally played with Xiaoshi. Xiaoshi is also one of Qingguo's few friends.

Qingguo's messy head almost covered half of Tang Ge's sky, gritted his teeth and smiled, and asked Tang Ge, "Stone, what's wrong with your hair?" ”

Tang Ge said: "If you cut it, you won't have lice." ”

Qingguo scratched in his messy hair, and actually grabbed a lice, threw it away without looking at it, and said to Tang Ge: "What are lice afraid of, just cut off your hair for this?" Look how ugly your hair looks like it's messy. ”

Tang Ge replied disdainfully: "Your chicken-nest-like hair is good-looking?" ”

It's strange to say that Tang Ge accepted Xiao Shi's memory, and he also has a good impression of Honggu and Qingguo like Xiao Shi, just like his relatives in his previous life. Only for the big stone is there a little resistance. Maybe it's because I don't want a young man younger than myself to be my cheap father, but in short, the attitude towards the big stone is not very good, but it is too much.

Qingguo began to scratch his head again, opened his mouth and smiled, and said to Tang Ge: "Let me tell you, Da Yang said that your hair was stained by ghosts, that's why it's like this." That time you were possessed by a demon, and we all went to see it when you exorcised it. When you come back, Dayang said that you were defiled by ghosts, just like the sixth child. And said you won't live long. They're still talking about getting you in trouble today. Be careful. ”

The sixth is the night watchman in the village, and he looks similar to the ninth in name, but he is not a family. The sixth child is very old, and he has a lot of white spots on his body, which is estimated to be some kind of ringworm. There are rumors among the children that the sixth child was defiled by a ghost during the vigil, and he was trapped in the woods all night and could not get out, and when he came back at dawn, his body became white and black.

Dayang is the child of the chief's family. The children of the chief's family will naturally become chiefs in the future, so Dayang has a group of diehards, and he is also the main opponent when the small stone is rampant in the doll hole.

Tang Ge pursed his lips and said, "A group of little kids, there are really a lot of things. When the skin is itchy and wants to be beaten, I will fulfill them. ”

Qingguo asked, "Then have you been possessed by a ghost?" ”

Tang Ge was angry and said, "You were just defiled by a ghost, do I look like I am possessed by a ghost?" After saying that, I thought about it, I borrowed the corpse to return the soul, but I was possessed by a ghost. But this matter must not be known to others, and it cannot be said that it was killed.

Qingguo Nuo said: "But I feel that you are different from before. ”

Tang Ge said: "What's the difference? ”

Qingguo said: "You haven't played with me in the past few days, and you look at people differently." It's as if ... It's as if ... ”

Tang Ge was taken aback, but he didn't expect that he tried his best to hide it and was still seen by others. The man was a child. Seeing that Qingguo couldn't say one, two, or three, Tang Ge hurriedly said: "What is it like!" Say it! ”

Qingguo had a flash of inspiration and said, "It's like a fat witch!" You also look down on others now. That's it! ”

Tang Ge said in his heart: "It's still a little careless." A child can see so many things, it seems that you should pay more attention in the future. Be careful and careful. ”

So he said to Qingguo: "You know a fart, have you ever seen a person possessed by a ghost?" If you haven't seen it, don't talk nonsense. ”

Qingguo was not convinced, and said, "Of course I have seen it. ”

Tang Ge was very curious and asked, "Who?" ”

Qingguo said: "You! ”

Tang Ge: "Get out!" ”
