Chapter 329: The Truth About Prehistoric Planting

The conversation should be stopped immediately, and if the pressure is too tight, it is easy for people to rebel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Wang Chuan pulled the eaglet over, and combed its feathers while perching on the other. After a few months of coming out, the eaglet seems to have grown a little taller again. There was no shortage of meat in the process of growing up for the eaglet, and Wang Chuan felt that it might be able to grow taller than its parents.

However, Kitty Hawk's old problem with people's chests is estimated to be impossible to change.

Wang Chuan told Qi all kinds of interesting things about the eaglet, such as the eaglet playing a game of hide and seek, the significance of the eaglet's various postures flying in the sky, and how the different postures of humans and beasts on the ground are formed, etc.: "When this thing first learned to fly when he was a child, he was shot by the children of the tribe with bows and arrows, so when it saw someone on the ground, as long as it didn't know it, it would fly very high. If it's not a human on the ground, it's a herd of beasts or something, and it will swoop down after them, and the thieves will ......"

When he said this, Wang Chuan was combing the crown-like feathers on the eaglet's head, and the eaglet somehow drilled his head into Xiangqi's chest, and Wang Chuan's hand may not have had time to retract it, so he followed.

Wang Chuan looked around, and there was no one around, so he took out his hand for a long time, and also reprimanded Xiaoying: "It's really not serious." ”

Kitty and Perch are very aggrieved,

The one who says people is good, right?

You can't stay in the field anymore, God knows what you will do if you stay and go to the house, and women can't be teased at all at certain ages, especially in this era when the concept is weak.

Wang Chuan hurriedly returned to the small courtyard. The people in the small courtyard have dispersed. The door of the house is too small, and the baby elephant rhinoceros can only lie on its stomach in the yard. Zhuang Niu was fiddling with the last bit of fire in the courtyard, and when he saw Wang Chuan coming back, he pointed to one of the rooms, and went into the other room.

When Wang Chuan entered the house, a gentle man pounced on him, and he knew who it was when he smelled it. The night tonight is sultry, and Wang Chuan is a little uncontrollable, but Ke is so small, it's really not good. So the two were tired of being together, and Wang Chuan told her about the safety of human development and fertility. This made Wang Chuan feel a little like lecturing with Ling in his early years, and he thought about what time he would have to return to the back for a while. As a result, it didn't take long for the person in his arms to fall asleep with a small snoring.

Wang Chuan was a little uncomfortable, if she told Ling about this, she would definitely remember everything and ask several times before letting Wang Chuan go. Ke's attitude towards learning made Wang Chuan feel ...... Very worry-free. Wife or something, it's better to be stupid.

Before dawn the next day, when the birdsong outside the house first sounded, Ke got up from Wang Chuan's arms and said that he would go out to prepare. What to prepare Wang Chuan did not hear. It didn't take long for him to come out, and the Yiren tribe in the morning light came out with a neat and strange chant. About 300 people gathered in an open field, and the people around them helped prepare all kinds of weapons, bows, arrows, ropes, and the like. It turned out that the ancestor got up in the morning to get the bird instruction, and today is a good day to hunt, so he is preparing for a large-scale hunting operation. The area is also dominated by alternating grasslands and forests. Sometimes you can encounter a large herd of beasts. Hundreds of people go out to hunt, and sometimes you can get a lot of gains.

Wang Chuan estimated that his group had eaten almost all of their meat last night, and they had obtained new iron tools, so they were preparing for this big hunt. As for the instructions or something, Wang Chuan knew better than anyone that it was nonsense.

Sure enough, when everyone was ready, the old ladies took out all kinds of old and new iron tools. Wang Chuan also saw the destruction of those old iron tools. The axe was cut like a hammer, the machete was as bald as an iron bar, and the handle of the iron spear was missing, and the wooden handle was wound with countless hemp ropes. But the ironware was well maintained, at least with a thick layer of grease on it.

The women of the Yi people also have extraordinary skills, so there are men and women in the hunting party. Twist Qing was holding a bone spear in the team, and Wang Chuan saw that the thunder that had just been released was also in the team. But Qi was preparing weapons for them, and obviously had no intention of going out.

Wang Chuan walked up to Qi and said, "You should go hunting with you and bring the little eagle with you." He eats a lot of fresh meat every day, and he likes to eat animal eyeballs the most, so take him out for a walk and see how majestic he is now. ”

Qi glanced at Lei in the crowd and said, "I don't want to go, it can fly here." ”

Wang Chuan said: "Then where is the same, this thing is very excited to see the prey, you can see its posture when the time comes." It's been away from you for so long, and it's wanted to show it in front of you. Go ahead. As for the trivial matters between your tribes, you have a better chance of solving them when you go out, right? ”

At that time, the team was pulled, Wang Chuan called the eaglet over, and pushed Qi into the team. The eaglet rubbed its perch a few times, then spread its wings and flew forward.

Qi always felt that something was wrong, glanced back at Wang Chuan, and sure enough, he saw Wang Chuan with a bad smile on his face.

Not in the River Tribe, breakfast conventions are absent. And in my mother-in-law's house, I can't make myself too special, and it's really not decent for others to eat and eat by themselves. There was still dried meat on the road, Wang Chuan wrapped some with leaves, and quietly went to find Ke, but he didn't expect Ke to also carry some things and quietly came to Wang Chuan.

When the two saw each other, they looked at each other and smiled, and Wang Chuan took a bow and arrows and other things, and led the little elephant and rhinoceros to walk out of the village. The beautiful name is called the elephant. Zhuang Niu did not follow, Wang Chuan gave him a task, that is, to teach the people left behind by the Yi people to distinguish grass and seedlings, and weed the farmland. Wang Chuan came back to see if there was any possibility of transplanting these seedlings.

I originally thought it was two people going out, but I realized that there were more than two people when I went out. A large group of half-grown children led the cows and donkeys out with them, and this is the real herding of cattle. The tiger driver was obviously not interested in weeding or anything, and rode the tiger out. Ben Qing is actually there. According to the grapevine, Ben Qing rubbed the tiger last night and rubbed it, so he rubbed it into the arms of the tiger driver. They spent it together last night. This is not considered intra-tribe affinity, and the Yi people do not interfere in this matter at all, just like no one interferes with Wang Chuan and Ke.

The village of the Yiren is surrounded by a wide area of grassland and water. A few trees have been cut down almost to the point where they are supposed to be used to build a stockade. People who did not hunt also carried fishing nets and baskets to these places to fish or gather. But they mostly stayed near the stockade and did not go far.

Wang Chuan pulled Ke onto the back of the baby elephant, and the two of them took out all kinds of meat in their pockets. To Wang Chuan's surprise, Ke took out a handful of fried millet seeds.

Wang Chuan was not calm in an instant, this is a good thing in Jiangshan Sheji, one of the five grains of China. Now that there is one here, what kind of rice is still grown?

"Where did it come from?" Wang Chuan pretended to be a light breeze and asked lightly.

Ke whispered, "I stole it from my grandfather." ”

Wang Chuan looked around in surprise, and then asked, "Where did Elder Zu get it?" ”

Ke pointed to the ground and said, "When it is autumn, it is picked around here." At that time, it was all over the place, and you could eat whatever you wanted. The ancestors will save some, and then come out and scatter them at the beginning of spring, and worship the sacred birds, and when the autumn comes, we will be able to eat for a long time. ”

Wang Chuan jumped off the back of the little elephant, and sure enough, he saw clumps of millet grass growing on the ground, and they were also eaten by a group of livestock and weeds.

Wang Chuan's heart was full of *** roaring, it turned out that the earliest planting in prehistory was not slash-and-burn cultivation but this kind of sacred bird sacrifice? The rice that Wu Weiqi and the others took back was planted like weeds, and their feelings were just thrown to the ground like this? No wonder I mentioned planting with Qi in the River Tribe, these people are as fresh as the Arabian Nights, it turns out that they are not called planting, they are called sacrifices!

The millet that is spilled to feed the birds will not be eaten by the birds, which of course leaves some free growth. This became the origin of the earliest planting industry, which Wang Chuan had never thought of before.

Raising his head, Wang Chuan gave Ke a bright smile and asked, "Do all the tribes around here do this?" ”

Ke nodded, "Well, that's all the way it is." Although they had other beliefs, it was said that worshipping the sacred bird would allow them to have this to eat in the fall, so they followed suit. When Aunt Qi came back, she said that if you harvest these in the autumn and burn them in the fire, they will grow better the next year, so we did the same. The second year was a better harvest. But the fire burned so hard that it burned all the beasts, and then they did not dare to burn. But I heard that some tribes still burn it every year. ”

Obviously, it is not without reason that the bird totem can become the four major totems of China. With the expansion of the planting industry, this totem is very likely to expand outward.

Wang Chuan identified the seedlings on the ground and asked, "How far have you sprinkled these?" ”

Ke waved his hand: "From this side to the water's edge over there, it's all sprinkled." There will be those places where the ancestors didn't sprinkle them. This is a gift from the divine bird. ”

The gift of the divine bird is impossible, it should be that the seed falls and grows on its own.

As Ke compares the range out, Wang Chuan found that this range is not less than a thousand acres. The yield of such a plant may only be one or twenty catties per mu, and such a small thing is not enough for a thousand tribes to eat for a long time. But prehistoric land is everywhere, if these people are smart enough to scatter tens of thousands of acres, thousands of people's food will basically be solved, why waste the heart to go out hunting?

Even if it's only this former acre. If the weeds are removed and properly watered, will this harvest be fifty catties per acre? If there is such food as a base, coupled with fishing and hunting, what is the difficulty of building the Yi people into a river tribe?

Wang Chuan glared at the weedy field fiercely, and rode the baby elephant and shouted at everyone to go into the distance.

Wang Chuan and Ke were surrounded by a bunch of children, and the things they brought out couldn't be enjoyed exclusively, so no one had a little, so they all shared it. The children reciprocated the favor, and also collected a lot of weeds along the way, got a lot of fish and shrimp back, and looked forward to Wang Chuan taking charge of the spoon at noon, so that they could enjoy another delicious meal.

Wang Chuan brought the pot out, and they all saw it.

The group passed through a lot of meadows and mizuzawa, and Ke told Wang Chuan interesting things she remembered as she walked, such as which Mizusawa had caught big fish, and which place had a lot of wild duck eggs at some time. After walking a few miles north, Ke pointed to a low slope and said to Wang Chuan: "Our tribe used to be here. Later, the water widened and flooded many parts of the area. We just moved to where we are now. At that time, Aunt Qi said that our tribe would build a house, and there were no trees here......"

Wang Chuan suddenly felt that something flashed through his mind: "It's been warm in the past few winters, isn't it?" ”

"It's a little shorter than in previous years."

"And how far is it from Taihe?"

"It's not far away, I walked from here to the edge of the Taihe River when I was a child. But now it's more difficult because many places are flooded. ”
