During the night, the people discussed for a long time around the fire, and the quarrel continued until midnight.

The new way of life inevitably has an impact on old ideas, and the main issue of the quarrel is centered on one of Jian Chen's proposals.

Chen Jian said that he would bring some clay bowls and clay pots tomorrow and give them to other tribes, and the number should not be too large.

The first to object was the acorn cousin who burned the pottery, he stood up and shouted: "We made these pottery little by little, let's dig the soil, let's cut down the trees, why give them to others?" Even if they want it, they have to exchange it for something! ”

Although the tribesmen did not quite understand the relationship between labor and value, they also felt that Acorn's words were very reasonable. Of course, it was okay to give a few of them as gifts, but Jian Chen asked the clansmen to bring a lot.

There are already a lot of clay pots and bowls in the tribe, but even if they are not used, they look good on the windowsill, so why give them to others?

Chen Jian waited until the acorn finished speaking, then got up and said, "But what should we change?" ”

Without thinking, Acorn said, "Bacon, salt, dried fish, anything." ”

The clansmen echoed one after another, but the wolf skin stood up and said, "Before Jian Chen was guided by the ancestors, what was our life like? Not to mention bacon and dried fish, even the bones have to be chewed, what do they have to exchange? Do you want to get some bone dregs back? ”

Matsuya stood up in support of Jian Chen, recalling his old life, the days of despair and death were gone, but he knew that it was delusional before he joined the clan.

The words of the two people made the noisy clansmen suddenly quiet down, recalling their past lives, if it weren't for Jian Chen, where would there be so much food left? It's just that these days are too comfortable, and they actually regard food as the norm.

Chen Jian didn't talk about the general principle of commodity exchange, but picked up a wicker basket for fishing next to him.

"Before the rain, we fished in wicker baskets for the last time. Lancao was reluctant to put the meat in it, and fed the meat to the little wolf cubs who circled around her all day, so her wicker basket was empty, while everyone else's was full. ”

The clansmen laughed, and her cousin Lancao's face was red, her head was lowered, and her mouth was flattened, and she kicked aside the little wolf cub who was playing with her feet.

Chen Jian continued: "Without meat, fish will not go into the basket, and this is the same reason. Of course, it is possible to change, this is what we pinch out with our hands. But if they don't know the clay pot, how can they know how to change it? Wouldn't everyone be able to survive without clay pots? But if everyone's clay pots and bowls are broken now, will everyone get used to it? ”

The tribesmen were silent for a while, they used to drink water by the stream, but now they only had to reach out and take the clay pot; In the past, prey could only be roasted, charred and hard, and it could not be bitten if it was not eaten well, but now it can be cooked; There are more uses, such as saying that it holds salt.

In the past, I thought that all this was natural, but if I really thought about it, I found that this inconspicuous thing was quietly changing everything in the lives of the people. It's like the wind after the snow melts, inadvertently making the earth green.

Chen Jian's words gradually understood the people, so they all approved his proposal.

The old grandmother suddenly remembered that when she went down to see the rainbow yesterday, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the village at the bottom of the mountain were completely different. Ken's thoughts are like standing on the top of a mountain, while he is just standing on the edge of the house, with only a wall of earth in front of him, but he can't see the grandeur of thirteen houses lined up in a row......

The quarrel was over, and the people went back to sleep on their hot, smoked beds. The place where the old grandmother slept was covered with a thick layer of fur, which was very warm and smooth, and her legs used to be convulsed from freezing at night, and they never hurt again in the past two days.

It all started with Ken, she thought. After Chen Jian got out the pottery, she thought about telling him all the experiences left by her ancestors, and when she died, the wisdom of her ancestors would not be cut off and lead her people to survive.

But yesterday the village under the rainbow shook the heart of the old grandmother.

She was proud and happy, but sad to find that her wisdom was old and could no longer guide this new era.

It is time for an old and decaying tree to fall, to give more sunlight and rain to the saplings below, and let them grow - because those little saplings are their own offspring. She didn't want to be the tallest tree, she just wanted her saplings to fill the land.

"When this tribal gathering is over, it's time for me to propose that Ken take my place, and the kids will agree."

She thought silently, the hot kang warmed her legs, very comfortable, and reassuring, and finally fell asleep slowly.

Early in the morning, the clansmen had everything ready.

Each person carried a wicker basket filled with clay pots, bowls, dried fish and bacon, and some blades of grass padded in it so that it would not break.

The men carried bows and arrows and carried quivers made of bark. In his hand he held a stone spear and stone axe, many of which were drilled, and were stronger than those that had been tied with rope before.

The elderly, children, and nursing women remained at home, and they had to take care of the animals.

Yu Qian'er shouted to follow, but was scolded back by her mother with her braids, and cried profusely.

The family said goodbye to each other and walked down the hill towards the mountain peak in the distance.

The journey was long, and it took two days for the tribesmen to carry their burdens.

The wolf's skin led the man to hunt in front, and when he came back there was no prey, but he cried out when he was far away.

"There are two tribesmen in front of them, and they are arguing."

He was in a lively state of mind, and his face was full of excitement. The clansmen rarely encountered such a bustle, and they all quickened their pace and followed him.

Before I could see anyone, I heard a continuous shouting and scolding wafting through the grass and trees.

Everyone pushed aside the grass, and the two tribes who were originally scolding looked at them vigilantly, and looked stupid for a while.

In the eyes of those two tribes, the group of people who appeared had strange hair.

The top of the woman's head looks like two snakes hanging down, and the man coils his hair into a small mountain bag with a small wooden heel horizontally.

The person at the front of the line held a stick on which was a piece of something they had never seen before, drawing a black and white circle, but with an indescribable mystery.

The young man carried a strange thing on his back, and in his hand he held a stick that looked like a crooked moon, and this rope was wound around it.

The only thing they knew was the stone axe and stone spear in their hand, but how could their stone axe be perforated, and it was not tied with a rope.

The old men of the two tribes recognized the old grandmother and a few older people, and their hearts were full of surprise.

The last time the tribe got together, this tribe was still the same as them, how did it become like this this time?

It's weird, but the hair looks good, and it's more slippery than my own unkempt grass-like hair.

The old grandmother stepped forward and said hello.

Chen Jian stood behind and observed the two tribes, there were not many people, men, women and children came, and there were less than a hundred people in total, all of them were dirty.

In the middle of the confrontation between the two clans, there is a dead stag. Several men were holding stone spears against each other, and some of them were stained with blood.

The leaders of both clans stepped forward and greeted the old grandmother. The old grandmother called Chen Jian and introduced the two leaders to Chen Jian.

"Her name is Stone and she lives in the mountains above the Tao River. This is the acacia flower, last time her mother brought her clansmen. ”

When Huaihua heard this, she whispered, "Mother is dead, she was bitten to death by a snake a few days ago." ”

After finishing speaking, he cried a few times, and then, like a stone, looked at Jian Chen curiously.

It was a simple ritual, but one that meant a lot, and the people who were introduced to the leader would make the next leader of the clan, and although it needed to be approved by the clan, the old chief's suggestion of a successor was generally not refuted.

The first feeling of the two of them is that the other party is so young and a man, can such a person lead the tribe well? When a man becomes a leader, how can the descendants of the clan be connected by blood? You can't have this tribe to mate within the clan, right?

Chen Jian followed the example of his grandmother, stretched out his hands and put his hands on the other party's hand to show friendship, and secretly observed the situation of the two tribes.

The tribe of Stone is more numerous, and the tribe of Huaihua may have encountered some calamity, and there are only sixty or seventy men, women, and children combined, all of them are scrawny and black.

After making a gesture of goodwill, Jian Chen stood beside his grandmother.

Huaihua wiped the tears on her face and shouted: "Your tribe came to judge the deer, but the stone tribesmen said that their people chased it first, and they beat our people!" ”

Not to be outdone, the people of the Stone Tribe roared angrily: "This deer has obviously been chasing us for most of the day, and it has no strength, why is it yours?" ”

"You said that your people chased it, but I don't believe it, what I saw was chased by our people."

As soon as the two sides said this, they began to push each other again, and several women tore each other's hair and shouted and cursed.

Seeing that the situation was about to be out of control, Chen Jian's clansmen stood there watching the jokes. They consider themselves lucky that the days of a day of hunting to catch a deer are long gone.

Jian Chen returned to his clan and said, "Just like the rammed earth wall a few days ago, shout together and let them be quiet." ”

The clansmen stood loosely together, but with a wave of Chen Jian's hand, they roared in unison and slammed the wooden spear into the ground.

This is the habit of tamping a few days ago, four people carry a ramming stone, you need to cooperate to pick it up, and every time you fall, you will shout.

This time it was the same, seventy or eighty light and strong people snorted at the same time, and it sounded even more palpitating to the tiger roaring wolf howl.

The two clans of the confrontation were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously clenched the wooden spear in their hands, and the children were so frightened by this roar that they cried, and the women hid behind their brothers.

Although the clansmen stood loosely, this shout had a somewhat disciplined momentum. Where had the two tribes seen such a scene, and they no longer dared to roar.

Huaihua looked at the thin clansman and was shocked when she heard the roar on the other side.

"These people want to rob this deer too? No way! Many of the people haven't eaten meat in days......"

She was young, had just become a chief, and now she had to fight for the interests of her people.

The shouts of dozens of people on the other side were really terrifying, and the stone spears and stone axes with holes were also extremely terrifying, but she still stood in front of Jian Chen with her chest straight, rolled her eyes, and said, "What? You want to grab this deer? Yes, come with us and beat the guy who ran away from the stone, half of our family! ”

The stone and the people were also startled, the shouts of this group just now were so terrifying that they thought of the screams of those hungry wolves on the night of the full moon, but they were more neat than the wolves.

If the other party is really with Huaihua, his own people can't beat him, so he can only leave.

But the clansmen on Jian Chen's side let out a burst of laughter.

The wolf skin patted his belly with one hand, and pointed at the deer with the other, saying, "We don't want it!" Ken told us a story the day before yesterday when he was eating, a dragonfly caught a fly, and it happened that there were falcons flying in the sky, and those dragonflies hurriedly flapped their wings and squeaked, afraid that the falcons would snatch their flies. Aren't you dragonflies like that? Hahaha......"

The wolfskin's retelling story made Stone blush, and she snorted and retreated to her people.

Huaihua thought for a while, but said with a smile: "You are all falcons, our people are dragonflies, that's right, only dragonflies catch flies, how can there be eagle falcons catch flies?" So this deer is ours. ”

When the stone clansmen heard Huaihua say this, they cursed a few words and protected the deer.

Chen Jian glanced at Huaihua, and said in his heart that this is also a character who can bend and stretch.

The group of people quarreled endlessly, but it reminded Jian Chen.

When he came to the deer, he said to the people of both tribes, "I have a word, please listen to me." You all say that the deer was caught by yourself, but you can't tell if the deer is rotten and smelly. Even if it's found together, whoever runs fast is whoever runs is whoever, so it's always true, right?

"That's right. But even if it was discovered together, we caught it first! ”

"We caught it first!"

The two sides quarreled again, and when the wolf skin saw it, he and his clansmen shouted, "Hey! ”

The two groups of people fell silent again, and Jian Chen continued: "In this way, you choose the best hunter in the clan, and run from here to that tree, and whoever runs first will be the deer." If you don't quarrel like this, how can it come to fruition? Fighting each other hurts the lives of the clansmen, that's not okay. ”

Both sides maintained restraint, and it was precisely because they were worried that the clansmen would be injured and weak, and once the fight started, it would be a blood feud, and many tribes had a feud because of some accidents, and finally both sides disappeared. This young man named Jian said an acceptable way, which is also a little reasonable.

The stone **** glanced at the clansmen, looked at the thin tribe on the other side of the acacia, and his own clansmen were eager to try, so he said: "Okay! Grey squirrel, you come and compare with them! ”

Huaihua glanced at Chen Jian, and said in her heart that this is also good for the clansmen, anyway, there are few people in the clan, and if you really want to fight, you will definitely be driven away by the people of the stone tribe, so she chose a person named Tanuki.

The gray squirrel, glaring at the tanuki, cursed in his heart. Chen Jian looked at the tanuki's thin body, and said in his heart that this person called Huaihua didn't mean it, right?

The tree he was pointing to was about fifty or sixty meters away, and the two men threw down the stone spear, and the tanuki was not satisfied after throwing away the stone spear, so without saying a word, he took off his leather pants and threw them on the ground, which was more economical.

The clansmen snorted in disdain, but there were also a few newly grown women peeking through their fingers.

Jian Chen said with a dark face: "Please put on the fur." If there is such a dispute in the future, no one is allowed to strip naked! ”

The two of them stood side by side again, the family members all shouted loudly, and Chen Jian's clansmen also gathered around to watch.

This sport, which transcends hunting and survival, with its innate beauty, is especially attractive to people of primitive tribes.

This is also one of Chen Jian's ideas for the future, exercise is naturally good, not only to promote tribal exchanges, but also as a daily training.

In the future, it may be necessary to add archery, racing, javelin, spear fighting, wrestling, and there can also be chariot battles, pole lifting, swordsmanship, marching in military formations, and so on. The sport was regarded not only as a grand event for the tribes in the future, but also as a training in the art of war.

Civil and military are combined, one by one. Spring outing and autumn sighs, the right green shirt, bamboo book poems, this is naturally wanted; But in the same way, it is also indispensable to sing snow songs, fight swords in the world, and bulging muscles.

The only thing to worry about is to be sure to get dressed! Don't make the primitive games a hotbed of culture.

When the time comes, a group of "Theban Holy Army" will be created, and it will be a great sin to watch muscular men compete naked every day, and give birth to a philosophical culture such as true love and the opposite sex just for reproduction.

Comparatively speaking, he would rather his people shout applause to a group of muscular men wrestling, and never want the distorted aesthetic of taking sick plums as beauty and foot binding as beauty.
