Chapter 260: Don't be afraid
For human beings, millions of years of development is not a long time, but for Wang Yang, hundreds of years are a problem.
The average age of human beings during this period, according to some scholars' estimates, was around 30 years old, or even shorter, including a large number of unnatural deaths.
Even if he dies normally, it is estimated that he will not survive to be 50 years old.
Wang Yang is now in his teens, that is, he still has more than 30 years to live. It's hard to make a difference in such a short period of time.
He was quite depressed, for such a short period of time, it seemed that he could not develop a complete civilization, not to mention planes, artillery, reinforced concrete, even a decent town.
Time waits for no one, and he can't help but develop slowly.
At this moment, he resolutely decided that he had to take a big leap forward, and the matter of finding more materials had to be put on the agenda.
For now, it is also necessary to prepare for animal husbandry.
He called Xiaohong and asked her how much rope she still had.
Xiaohong calculated, some of the flowers for tying the divine beasts, some of the nets were used, and some of the various animal skin bags were also used, and there was not much left.
Wang Yang frowned, if you want to domesticate animals, at least control the range of activities of animals, and limit them to a small area, if there is no natural place like a canyon, at least you have to tie the animals next to the trees and prevent them from running around.
"Am I supposed to teach them how to do some rope?"
Wang Yang came up with this idea, the people now are different from back then, their understanding has improved a lot, maybe he can explain the rope making process to them.
The next day, Wang Yang brought Zhang San and others. Only ten of them were left to work with charcoal, while others went deep into the forest with him, finding some high-fiber bark and root bark to make rope.
He found the tree that had been strangled by the strangled plant. Take out the stone cone, gently pick up a layer of skin, and then slowly tear it off.
The skin of many tree roots can also be made in this way, but many of the roots are messy and difficult to process quickly.
Now that I have time, I'm not afraid.
One was torn off, and he tore off a second. Third, until the bark was removed, everyone watched his movements. It all feels very familiar, and there have been countless similar scenes.
At that time, they didn't understand it, but now they understand that Wang Yang is making ropes.
Seeing that they had no doubts, Wang Yang nodded slightly. It's important to understand this.
Afterwards. As he had done before, he smashed the bark of the roots and separated the fibers from it.
He deliberately took out a relatively complete one and put it in front of them: "This is the fiber, do you understand?" ”
They nodded slightly as they looked at the slimy thread on which the liquid reflected in the sunlight.
"Got it?" Wang Yanghu was suspicious: "You try." ”
He asked Zhang San and the others to try it, and then observed it from the sidelines. They really got it. Although the speed is not fast, the action of separating the fibers is very careful.
Wang Yang nodded slightly: "That's right." Very good. ”
He didn't let the crowd continue, but led them to find the plants that could be made into ropes.
This place is in the tropics, with a wide variety of tree species and dense plants, and there are many trees that are very suitable for making ropes, and if you are patient, you can find similar vines.
Wang Yang took them to draw a picture on the ground for them to write down each one, and then took them to continue looking for the next plant.
I searched for it, and I didn't know how many days had passed.
There was a lot of fiber accumulation, and Wang Yang asked them to learn to wash off other impurities of the fiber, then dry it, collect it, and finally let them teach them to rub the rope.
The drying process wasted a long time, because it was the rainy season, and it was difficult to find a good weather with a big sun, which was more troublesome.
He began to teach them to knit with the braiding method.
Time passed, everyone learned to make ropes, Wang Yang put his mind at ease, solved the matter, and now he can go to another thing, looking for other humans.
He asked the six, "Have you met anyone else?" ”
The six people shook their heads, indicating that they had lived in the forest for a long time and had never met anyone, but they had encountered a lot of monkeys or something.
Wang Yang nodded, expressing his understanding, human beings are not a large group in this era, and there should be less.
The next day, Wang Yang led Xiaohong and 20 others back to the grassland and joined the chasers and others.
As soon as they met, the exorcists poured bitter water, and they didn't call him to pick fruit for what they wanted, and they didn't call him to open an orchard for Lu, but he wanted to eat delicious fruits.
Wang Yang wiped his sweat and ignored the matter, but pulled everyone over to explain his plan.
He planned to go out of the road with Xiaohong and the other twenty people in several groups, expanding in several directions, first, to find other humans, and second, to know what the environment around the road was like, maybe he would find other resources.
The expeller immediately agreed, but this time said that he would not stay here and leave with the crowd.
Wang Yang groaned slightly, it's not impossible, there is nothing special in the wheat field for the time being, just leave the orthopedic surgeon and others.
That night, everyone divided into several directions, with Xiaohong and the others leaving along the river, while the chasers explored to the east, the other group explored to the southwest, and they advanced to the west.
"Each person brings a month's worth of food, rides an alpaca away, and remembers, if there is not much food along the way, don't force it, it's yourself who starves to death, and you should come back."
The crowd could say nothing but nod.
So the next day, everyone grinned and left one after another.
Their teams numbered about five people each, carried the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, and had hunting tools such as nets, so they had strong combat effectiveness and hunting ability.
As long as there is enough food on the road, it will not reach the point of running out of ammunition.
And although they are not many in number, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and even if they encounter a small group of more than a dozen people, they have the capital to fight.
These are naturally well planned and carefully calculated, and there will be no big mistakes.
Wang Yang didn't think much about it, and looked at the western sky. Just go and learn the scriptures.
……
The fool gently puffed up the dust, shedding large droplets of sweat and splashing dust. hissed lightly, glared at Wang Yang unpleasantly, stopped, why didn't he move forward.
Wang Yang sighed lightly, took out some hay from the animal skin bag, and fed it to eat.
It's been half a month since they left the base, and the speed of their journey is not fast. It's not slow, and I'm looking for useful substances everywhere.
Sometimes, Wang Yang stops. I stared at a certain stone, looked at it for a long time, and found that it was not metal, and I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
And so much time has passed. They have moved away from the savannah. I came to a place similar to the savanna, but it wasn't really a sparse prairie.
Or should it be said that there are no trees, but grasslands with bushes growing in twos and threes.
This kind of grassland is between the Gobi and the sparse grassland, let's say the Gobi, it's not desolate to that extent, it's called the grassland, but there is not much grass. The surface is littered with weathered gravel.
And after all this time, they did not see a single figure. Even if it's a mirage-like ghost.
And it's very desolate, you can't see any animals, and the occasional thing you can see is a goshawk hovering in the desert.
Originally, it was okay to be desolate, and Wang Yang planned to move on, but somehow, the idiot had recently lost his temper and had to eat hay instead of eating the grass that grew on the ground.
Wang Yang was speechless for a moment, he really didn't see that the grass on the ground couldn't be eaten, it was similar to hay, it was really more and more squeamish, and he actually picked up food.
But soon, Wang Yang found out that something was wrong, because not only the fools didn't eat it, but the other four divine beasts also didn't eat it, and only ate hay.
Wang Yang wondered, could it be that they didn't digest these grasses?
He decided to retreat, since the beasts were not accustomed to the vegetation here, it would be a lot of trouble to move forward, and this place was too barren, if he continued to advance like this, he might go into the desert.
He didn't want to see a mirage.
There is a mountain in front of me that is slowly moving towards the mountain, yellow sand and gravel tiles, so it is not desolate, and the wind is howling, and it feels like it is carrying sand.
Wang Yang glanced at the last of the day, and was about to bow his head, when he suddenly saw a black shadow, indeed a black shadow, a thin black shadow.
The black shadow stood on the top of the mountain, very small, but looking at the body, it looked like a person, a real person.
Wang Yang rubbed his eyes, made sure that he was not mistaken, and immediately greeted the other four people, and rode the divine beast to that place.
Somehow, the shadow suddenly knelt on the top of the mountain, then threw himself forward to the ground, rolled on the mountain a few times, and then stopped.
Wang Yang and the others hurriedly stepped forward and came to the man, and when they saw it, it was really a person!
"Finally found you!" Wang Yang's eyes lit up.
This person is very tall, 1.6 meters by sight, without clothes, and falls straight to the ground, as if he is going to sleep, and is an adult man.
He lay there, his eyes closed, his lips frighteningly white, and he looked like he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and he was thirsty like that.
Wang Yang didn't want him to die, it was rare to see a living person, so he took a water bag and poured some into his mouth.
"Cough, cough ......" He was choked, not dead, consciously drank water, and within two seconds, he actually snatched the water bag and drank it with a sullen head.
After a few bites, I suddenly felt very comfortable, and opened my eyes with a smile.
"Hey, hey! Not dead! Not dead! Lived! Wang Yang grinned, and the others also smiled, looking at him with smiles on their faces.
But when he saw a few people with a lot of hair, he was stunned, his mouth opened wide, and he was speechless, as if he had seen a monster.
Just as he was about to exclaim, a large, fluffy face obscured the sky and appeared in front of him.
The "monster" didn't know what it was, its big eyes were black, and it was chewing grass in its mouth, and suddenly there was a strange cry of "oh", and a mouthful of spit spit on his face.
"Woo!!"
He jumped to his feet, got up, and looked at the five people and five "horses" in horror.
The fool was startled by him, glared at him, and spat again.
The other adults didn't care, they just thought that he was about to attack suddenly, and took out the wooden spear.
Wang Yang immediately reprimanded a few people angrily, and saluted the person: "Don't blame the donor, my disciples and little white dragons are stubborn by nature and look scary, but they are kind-hearted and have no malice. ”
As he spoke, he showed a mouthful of white teeth, and in an instant he felt that he was protecting his body.
The man looked at Wang Yang's weird smile, and only felt that his whole body was cold and he felt a sense of collapse. (To be continued......)
