Chapter 12 The Beginning of Civilization

The eastern sky had just turned white, and before the morning sun had even cast into this vast primeval forest, the Yan tribe had already begun to get busy.

In the second half of last night, the one-third of the tribesmen who had previously returned to Shunxiang found this place in the dark, and when they saw the rising bonfire and Xiang who was tied to the side, they understood everything, there were no conflicts and accidents, and all the primitive people were subordinated to the Yan clan and to Lin Yuan's rule.

This is like the battle for the monkey king in the Monkey Mountain, once the decision is made, all members will absolutely obey the winning side, this is the rule of primitive society, and it is also an iron law.

At the beginning of dawn, Anna and Qiao Jing had already counted the number of people in the tribe completely, except for a few dead captives, there were still 315 left, among these people, there were about 103 young men with combat ability, according to Lin Yuan's orders, Anna had already picked out these 103 young people, stood on one side, and she and Qiao Jing took her women, children, old and young to hide in the shadow of the stone wall.

Lin Yuan assigned them two tasks, Anna was responsible for dividing these primitives into groups of 10 people and taking care of each other's wounded. Qiao Jing's task is more arduous, she is responsible for picking out all the more intelligent primitive people, and then trying to teach these primitive people to know simple words.

Knowledge is power, and this is an iron law that is very important in any era.

Seeing the two traverser girls very competently busy, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, it is really not easy to manage a tribe, especially a tribe like theirs, which is improvised and cobbled, because there is no consistent traditional culture to maintain, it is actually very difficult to truly realize the order and ban, but fortunately, there are 2 traverser helpers.

As he pondered, he walked over to the stone wall, where the 103 tribesmen Anna had selected stood straight beside it, with dark or light complexions and different dresses, some naked, some wearing tree bark, and some wearing animal skins.

These captives from various tribes bowed their heads slightly respectfully at the new leader, looking at Lin Yuan's toes, perhaps for them, Lin Yuan was indeed a god-like existence.

Lin Yuan took a closer look at the 103 people, all of whom were about 16-30 years old, with strong bodies and no injuries, and the blade and the members of his hunter team were also among them.

Very well, these 103 people are the only combat force that the Yan clan can use at the moment, although they are not trained.

"Listen, from now on, you are the hunter of my Yan tribe, the warrior of my Yan tribe, you are the blade of the tribe, the spear of the tribe, and the glory of the tribe will be inherited by you!"

"Uh......h King Yan! King Yan! Woo...... King Yan! King Yan! ”

The warriors responded to Lin Yuan with a majestic roar.

Lin Yuan stretched out his hands, waited for everyone to be quiet, and said:

"Which of you has ever been a hunter? Stand up. ”

There were 13 people in the line, most of whom were members of the former Blade tribe.

Lin Yuan frowned, there were so few hunters...... It is no wonder that the hunters of the average tribe, in the event of war, are the first warriors, and it is indeed rare that they can survive as prisoners.

He thought for a moment, then ordered:

"Each hunter himself picks out 5 from the clansmen behind him, as your apprentices, from today on, you are the hunter leader of the Yan clan, you must teach others the skills of hunting as soon as possible, the food of the tribe depends on you, this is the best way to serve the god of fire!"

Several hunters nodded, turned around and began to select members, and after a while, 13 small hunting teams were formed, and Lin Yuan sent them to 12 different directions to set off, immediately looking for prey.

More than 300 mouths waiting to be fed, but not a joke, they are not headhunters, they can't eat people, if they don't bring some prey today, I'm afraid that many weak members will not survive tomorrow morning.

Food, this is the most important thing on the first day of the new tribe.

But there is another thing that is equally important.

"Blade, you and your team stay"

After watching the other hunters set off one after another, Lin Yuan commanded the blades that remained:

"You don't have to hunt to-day, I ask you to follow the river in the direction of the rising sun, take a quick 3,000 paces, then turn in the direction of the valley, circle the rock wall where we are, and finally cross across the river and come back here. Do you understand? ”

Blade nodded, and he seemed hesitant.

"What do you want to ask?" Lin Yuan said.

"Blade......" he pointed to his chest, and continued, "Just walking around?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said:

"Of course not, I want you to keep your eyes open and show me the terrain around you, if there is anything special, and if there are any traces of other tribes or headhunters."

The blade nodded, and he understood what Lin Yuan meant, this was a need to scout by himself, not hunting.

After Lin Yuan explained a few more words, he asked the blade to set off quickly, the distance he had demarcated was relatively far, and the time of the day was very tight.

This is second only to food, Lin Yuan knows very well in his heart, when he was playing games before, it was also like this, except for the tribe he controlled, there was a fog of war all around, for a strategist, only by knowing the surrounding situation could he accurately make decisions in his favor.

If you don't know anything, it's like a blind man going to war, and you don't know how to die.

Lin Yuan didn't want this.

After all the arrangements were made, Lin Yuan returned to the stone wall alone, he looked around, there was a cliff on one side, and a small stream on the other side, although it could block the wind and facilitate the water, but once there was an enemy sneak attack, they would have nowhere to hide, and it was not easy to defend.

Either way, it's only a temporary place to stay, and it's better to find a cave or something like that as soon as possible.

Lin Yuan thought as he walked, and accidentally tripped over something under his feet, he looked down and saw that it was a child, he hid himself in a pile of fallen leaves, Lin Yuan didn't see it, and almost stepped on him.

Lin Yuan hurriedly hugged the child, returned to the stone wall, and found Qiao Jing, who was telling stories to dozens of primitive children:

"Legends...... After Nuwa mended the sky, she sent ten immortals to the world, and the god of fire was one of them......"

Lin Yuan's arrival interrupted her, Qiao Jing licked her lips and smiled mischievously:

"Brother Lin Yuan...... Oh no, Lord Yan is here, I'm telling the children the story of your coming to earth......"

Before she finished speaking, Qiao Jing suddenly lowered her voice, threw herself into Lin Yuan's ear, and whispered:

“…… Actually, these children are so naughty, and their parents are gone, so I really have no choice but to tell some little stories to trick them into quieting them for a while. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and whispered:

"It's okay, it's good, you're doing a good job, myths and stories are also an important part of the formation of tribal culture, as long as you don't make up too much of it." After speaking, Lin Yuan handed the child in his arms to Qiao Jing and said:

"I found this child in the grass, it seems that he is only about 5 years old, and it is estimated that he has no parents, so you can take it hard."

Qiao Jing nodded and took the children, she liked to be with these children very much.

"Oh, by the way, you asked me to teach them words...... It's really difficult, they can't even speak clearly......"

"It's okay, then start with the simple ones, you can ask them to draw first, don't worry, take it one step at a time."

After speaking, Lin Yuan turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, with a snap, Lin Yuan's left arm was numb, and he reflexively turned his head to see that a little boy with a runny nose was looking at Lin Yuan with a frightened face, holding a forked branch in his hand, and a circle of yellow things was wrapped around the branch.

"Hey! What are you doing? Say what about you! Qiao Jing ran over angrily and picked up the little boy.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Lin Yuan hurriedly said, he bent down and picked up the thing that had hit him just now, it was a small stone, it turned out that the boy was holding a simple slingshot toy in his hand.

"Qiao Jing, I'll take a look at what he has in his hand."

Qiao Jing handed the slingshot in the boy's hand to Lin Yuan, and the little boy said with a crying voice, "Don't ...... It's Mommy's ......."

Lin Yuan took the slingshot and looked at it for a few seconds, hurriedly walked to the little boy's side, returned the slingshot to him, and then gently touched the little boy's head with his hand, and said:

"It's your mother's left, it's okay, take it, put it away! No one will snatch it. ”

The little boy burst into tears and smiled, took the slingshot, Lin Yuan waved his hand at Qiao Jing, and then left them.

After taking a few steps, Lin Yuan opened his right hand, there was a small yellow object pinched from the slingshot, this thing was very elastic, somewhat similar to the rubber of modern society, but not exactly, and it also had a fishy smell.

He made his way through several crowds and found Anna on the other side of the stone wall, who was about to set off with a group of women.

"Ah, King Yan, I'm about to take them to the bushes in front to see if I can pick some wild fruits, in case the hunters don't find the prey, at least we won't go hungry at night." Anna said with a smile to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, as a compliment to Anna.

It seems that his strategy is right, and Anna and Qiao Jing will help him a lot, because no matter how clever he is, he will never be able to do everything, and if he wants to survive in this dangerous Stone Age, he must be cautious and not make any mistakes.

With the help of Anna and Qiao Jing, he can concentrate on something.

"Anna, wait a minute, help me see what this thing is." Lin Yuan said, handing over the elastic substance in his hand to the other party.

Anna looked at it, sniffed it again, and said:

"This, it seems to be from an animal, but I can't remember exactly which part of the animal, you wait, I'll ask them."

After saying that, Anna walked among the group of women with the elastic substance, and after a while, he came out with a woman with only one eye, and said:

"King Yan, before this woman was disfigured, she used to be a cook of a tribe, and she said she had seen this thing.

Lin Yuan nodded, looked at the other party, and the one-eyed old woman trembled and said:

"Yan...... Wang ......, this is wild boar tendon, or bison tendon. This thing can't be chewed or chewed, and when there is no fire, we used to throw it away a lot......"

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered suddenly, he nodded, and then said:

"Okay, Anna, go ahead, remember this woman, maybe I'll need her soon."

Anna nodded a little puzzled, she didn't ask more, since it had been decided that Lin Yuan would be in charge of the complicated matters, she naturally obeyed.

Watching Anna lead the women to approach the bushes, Lin Yuan relaxed a little.

Very good, it looks like today is a harvest day.
