A few days later, the wolfskin finally brought back two living animals, and that day he brought back a roe deer and a large boar, both alive.

However, in Jian Chen's opinion, there was no difference between these two things and the dead ones. Roe deer are timid and fearful, they can't be domesticated at all, and if you want to raise them, you have to prepare a three-meter-high fence, and when you are in heat, it is difficult to do that dirty thing in full view, unlike the ram Teddy. The big boar is also extremely wild, and if you put it in the pigsty, you may gnaw the piglets to death, so you have to kill them.

In the evening, the men practiced lining up by the river, and when the bonfire was raised, the people killed the pigs, and Chen Jian pondered that he wanted the pigskin to make a drum.

The drum is a military instrument and one of the earliest musical instruments of mankind. In the "Book of Shang", it was said that the earthen drum, the scum, and the reeds are also the joy of the Yiqi clan. Drums made of clay and drumsticks made of grass leaves, the joy of the Yiqi clan is to worship the heavens and pray for good weather and rain. Probably because the drum was thundering, the heavens could hear it.

Jian Chen didn't expect the heavens to hear it, but he hoped that the clansmen would hear it when there was a war in the future.

This was originally a very serious matter, but the story that happened next left a deep impression on the clansmen, and they learned a new word, a word that was not coined by Jian Chen.

At that time, the pig had been killed, and a large pot of pig blood was received, and the large clay pot next to it was boiling water to prepare for hair loss.

A few children were kicking the shuttlecocks that Jian Chen had made for them around the fire, the younger ones were playing with eagles and catching gooseese, and the little wolf cubs were circling around the dead pigs, wanting to share some meat to eat.

Because he wanted to make a leather drum, Chen Jian found a slender pointed wood to pierce it from the pig's hind legs, until it reached the abdominal cavity of the internal organs, and then took out the wooden stick and blew it into it with his mouth.

In this way, the pig can be blown up, easy to shave, the skin will be very smooth, and the smooth skin can be used to make the drum, and the sound will be louder.

However, it may be because this pig is a little bigger, or it may be because his technique is too rough, and he puffed out his cheeks for a long time, and his tired cheeks hurt, and he didn't bulge much.

The tribesmen tried, but only the wolf's skin could blow. After blowing vigorously for a while, the pig's body immediately swelled a lot.

In the applause, the wolf skin was even more vigorous, and after the blow was finished, he sat there wheezing, his eyes black but very proud.

Everyone praised him twice as soon as they saw that he was working so hard, because he was a little hypoxic at the time, so he just smiled faintly.

As a result, when he came to his senses, he pointed to the house and shouted: "Don't say it's this little pig, even if it's the size of the house, I can blow it!" ”

The people of the two clans were stunned for a moment, especially the people surnamed Shi who thought of what the wolf skin said when he was gathering on the top of the mountain, and shot down a house-sized falcon, and they all laughed when they matched this situation.

"Blow! Blow hard! ”

I don't know who shouted, everyone laughed and their stomachs hurt, and suddenly I felt that blowing this word was really too appropriate.

Chen Jian even laughed and lay on the ground, saying in his heart that fortunately there is no cow now, otherwise he would definitely point to the cow and say that it can also blow, if it happens to be a cow, this word is complete.

The wolf skin was a little laughed at, and squatted with his head down to help Chen Jian shave the pig's hair. The pig was smoked with hot water, and the smell was extremely unpleasant. Boars don't have a fishy taste, but castration is also a technique, and Jian Chen can't, so it has to be handed over to future generations.

Looking at the wolf skin shaving there, and thinking of the eagle shooting past that the wolf skin boasted about before, Jian Chen suddenly asked, "Brother, have you seen a particularly big bird recently?" Don't blow it, to be honest. ”

Wolf Skin just wanted to compare his hands and feet, but when he heard this, he rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said: "There are big eagles, and I have seen a few big birds in the reed pond by the river, and their legs are particularly long." ”

"Then you can get a few of them."

The wolf skin originally wanted to shoot those water birds, but unfortunately Chen Jian didn't let him, and when he heard this, he asked, "How much?" ”

"A dozen, the longer the legs, the better, the bigger the wings, the better, it doesn't matter if it's delicious or not."

"Okay, I'm not blowing, I saw a bird a few days ago with such long legs, if you don't believe it, you can ask them."

Everyone laughed, and the wolf skin was even more embarrassed, Chen Jian said in order to relieve him: "Come a few people, let's break the pig." ”

To get down to business, the clansmen stopped laughing, and a few people came to peel off the pigskin's skin and break open the internal organs. The women ran to the distant stream to clean their intestines, and the smell was too great in the vicinity.

Chen Jian left the urine bubble and blew the wolfskin's side for a few breaths, and the clansmen laughed again, and the wolfskin himself was happy.

The children all came around, looking at the big urine bubble, they thought it was very funny, and wanted to come to play but Jian Chen didn't give it.

A few days ago, these children were right, and Chen Jian calculated that it was enough to keep it up and set aside a few hundred yuan. There were so many that Yu Qian'er used a large number of small wooden sticks, each of which was counted separately in place of a room, and in this way counted the clay blocks that exceeded the number of thousands.

In Chen Jian's opinion, it is naïve, but in this era it is shining, this is the concept of multiplication, I can also use this example to talk about multiplication with thinking children - he has knowledge, but the way of thinking is different from the people here, to give an inappropriate example, the power that won the Nobel Prize may not be a good kindergarten teacher.

At that time, in order to encourage his younger brothers and sisters, Chen Jian also asked his uncle to make two seesaws for the children in a day, and he made a small wooden horse for them, and the curved base was bent by soaking the wood and roasting it with fire.

He imitated the story of Zengzi's murder, so that these children knew from an early age that words count, and that they would always honor when they said they would be rewarded.

Nowadays, there is a bent wood as the base, a ring-rotating potter's wheel as the meaning, and a tenon that can be spliced as the bone, and the concept of the wooden wheel can basically be used, and the rest is a technical problem.

And now the children also have a lot of toys, the scale is also made of the first model, I said that I want to give the children a very fun and fun toy, can only use a small potter's wheel to shock them. He didn't want to wait for his younger siblings to bring the scales and be told by the children that it wasn't fun at all.

The pig urine soaked in Chen Jian had other uses, and after the gas was put away, the children were driven away, and the people dismantled the pig into eight pieces, baked it on the fire with salt and pine branches, or boiled it into lard and put it in clay pots.

Chen Jian got the pigskin he wanted, and the acorn also made a drum base according to what Chen Jian said, and the two big water tank-like things were connected, and a few holes were made in the belly of the drum below.

I found a place where no one was, covered it with a pigskin, and hammered it with a small pottery, and the sound of vibration came out of the small hole through the enlargement of the container below, and the sound was dull and amazing, and I knocked it a few times, and I was very satisfied.

Before the people arrived, he dismantled the pigskin and went back to other things.

As he wished, the wolf skin brought back several long-legged cranes and eagles. Now that the meat has been boiled and drunk, the hair has stuck to the feather arrows, and there is a pile of bones left.

More than two dozen crane leg bones and eagle wing bones were lined up in a long row, and Jian Chen carefully drilled holes in them, he could blow the flute, but he couldn't make a flute, so he could only try to separate the distance between the holes little by little.

The materials are all of the highest quality, straight leg bones, reed flute membranes, honey for glue, pig teeth for grinding flute stoppers, but the maker has a pair of violent hands, and the first few of them can really blow sound, but this sound can be crooked to the horizon.

The flute could not be successful at one time, so every night by the fire people could hear a short whining, and the waste that Chen Jian didn't want was given to the children to play with. Although it is not a rhythm, it is much stronger than the willow bark whistle, and the younger siblings have another toy.

Nowadays, the children's toys have increased a lot, but they are far from the scene that Chen Jian expected. What he wanted was for the children to get together, to make a play, to play with the nine links, or to play with Luban locks, but he could make one of these things. The Nineteen Ways are in line with the myths of their own people, the rumors of black and white bears, and the banners of yin and yang fishes, all of which are black and white, but they don't have time to make it so round now. He wanted to subtly and guide his clansmen to think about the primitive philosophy of yin and yang duality in one step, so even if he could use Tao Mu as a chess piece now, he was not ready to do it for the time being.

Nowadays, you have to find everything from scratch, and it is always difficult for the people to learn it and integrate it with what they know.

How do the younger brothers and sisters know his good intentions, I saw that Chen Jian drilled one or two bones every day and blew a few times to play with himself, so happy that he only hoped that he could finally get one.

The children's dreams were finally shattered after ten days, when Yu Qian'er took the moon painted on the bark of the tree and wanted to tell her brother that the moon was round, which means that the moon would change back to the way it was many days ago every so many days. After Jian Chen said this question, she was finally able to answer it after a long time.

I ran over excitedly, but I saw my brother dancing with the severed leg bones, and blowing a few short scales that sounded strange from time to time.

The tribesmen have gone to sleep, and they have heard too much noise from the children whining and blowing these nights, and their expectations for the bone flute are not so high.

Yu Qian'er walked up to her brother and shouted, "Brother, brother, look, I know how often the moon is round!" ”

Jian Chen hurriedly put the flute into his waist, and said in his heart that this was a big deal. Yu Qian'er took the bark of the tree, pointed to the curved moon and the round moon painted on it, and said, "Look, the moon is round." Each moon on the bark is a day, and the inside of this circle is not dark, which means that the moon cannot be seen that night. Let's count it, there are twenty-nine in total, that is, the moon will be round in twenty-nine days. ”

Jian Chen nodded when he heard this, and after a few words of praise, he pointed to the hollow circle and asked, "Does that circle mean nothing?" What do you think of yourself? ”

"Yes, you made me write down how many fish, how many deer, and so on on on the slate every day. Sometimes there are no deer, one, two, three, four can't be written, so I draw a circle on it, meaning no. ”

Jian Chen was very happy and said strangely: "Why don't you just go over?" ”

"Then it's not aligned, I look very uncomfortable if it's not neat, it's like a little wolf scratching my heart, itchy."

Jian Chen looked at his sister with a smile and asked, "When did you have this problem?" ”

"From the moment I saw the houses lined up on the cliff, and after you stood in a row by the river, I liked things that were neat. Last time I burned a pottery bowl, and a piece of gravel protruded from it, and I couldn't sleep when I lay there, so I got up and smoothed it out before I could fall asleep......"

Jian Chen smiled and hugged his sister, turned around twice with a smile, and looked at the concept of zero due to obsessive-compulsive disorder, and was full of emotion.

Yu Qian'er didn't know why her brother was so happy, Chen Jian turned around twice and put her down and said, "You go and tell your aunts, you don't have to get up early tomorrow for a day off, the house is enough first, and there will be a big event the day after tomorrow." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Sacrifice to ancestors. Thank you to our ancestors for guiding us to survive. ”

"Huh!"

Yu Qian'er hugged the baby-like bark and ran back to the house where the woman lived.
