Chapter 327: The "Giant" is by the River
The next day, Wang Yang set out on his return journey, stopping at the baobab grove in the savanna, observing the progress, and then hurried back to the wheat field.
As soon as he came back, Wang Yang saw the low bearded miscanthus grass that did not grow tall, and it was really a wildfire that could not be burned endlessly, and the spring breeze blew and reborn, and he couldn't say that after the wheat was harvested, he would have to burn it again.
Passing through the low grassland, I saw a green vegetable field, those are not wheat, but ripe sweet potatoes, the green leaves are the leaves of sweet potatoes, looking at it I feel a great appetite, very delicious.
Continuing through the sweet potato field, you can see the buildings of the wheat field, and in front of the building complex is a flat clearing, and the yellow mud in the open space is uneven, and you can see pit after pit.
If you pay close attention, you will find that in those small pits, there are wheat roots.
And at the front of the clearing were the people who were busy pulling wheat.
Fifty or sixty adults were busy, and there was a group of alpacas riding nearby, looking around at the patrols, and the beasts that might be infested on the embankment.
Their actions may have been superfluous, the grassland had been burned by fire, and for a long time, there was no shadow of half an animal in sight.
Until recently, some small animals could be seen, so everyone became vigilant and began to patrol.
Wang Yang nodded slightly, pleased with everyone's cautious attitude.
In the tribe, between the buildings, everything is very orderly, and several cauldrons are blazing, either melting salt or extracting salt.
A few barrels were dripping with filtered salt water, and the speed was getting slower and slower. It was clear and peaceful.
Some kids can't do much. So I got bored, in that little hole in the ground in the shape of an inverted cone. Teased the unlucky little worm with a twig.
The insects are very strange, every time they want to go into the ground, they will dig a small pit in the shape of an inverted cone, and the insects are so stinky that the children don't want to eat them at all.
There are also some children who may not be interested in small insects, and they have sat in front of the template of the granary, looking at the strange hieroglyphs, some puzzled, some puzzled.
Those hieroglyphs seem to be drawings. However, unlike pictures, they even feel that some of the hieroglyphs are actually the same, but when they look closely, they feel that they are very different.
They would get together and discuss what the adults were not teaching themselves to learn.
In the end, I came to the conclusion that the adults themselves would not.
Around the children, there was also a patrol of alpacas, their eyes paying more attention to the scene on the other side of the river.
They saw Wang Yang coming back and waved their hands at Wang Yang, who nodded. And they went on with their work.
However, the group of children ran over one after another, helping to load and unload the goods, while looking at Wang Yang curiously.
Some of their children are very young, and Wang Yang, who has not seen them for a year, has long forgotten them. I only know that there is a mysterious boss in the Ludao tribe, but I don't know who Ludao is.
Until the older children whispered to them that he was the boss. Only then did he react, and came to Wang Yang with some fear.
obviously wanted to see Wang Yang's appearance. He was already standing in front of him, but when Wang Yang looked over. But he quickly lowered his head, and his acting skills were very clumsy.
Wang Yang was happy, thinking that he hadn't come back for a year, so he didn't know each other?
Also, what did those bastards say to these children, why did they all think they were afraid of being like a demon king of the world, and were they so scary?
After loading and unloading the goods, Wang Yang walked around the neighborhood a few more times, but did not see Wang Yingying and the orthopedic scientists, so he found the patrol team and asked them directly about the situation of the group of "giants".
One of the leaders of the patrol took Wang Yang to the river, which was almost a few dozen meters away from the granary and other places.
It's not far away, it's just within the killing range of long-range tools such as spear throwers, and it can attack at any time, but it's not afraid to cross the river with malicious lives.
At this time, in the middle of the river, several people were casting nets, ready to stop the fish going downstream.
One of them is Wang Yingying.
As soon as she saw Wang Yang, she immediately smiled, called someone to help her move the net, hurriedly went ashore, and jumped to Wang Yang's side.
Obviously, she hadn't seen Wang Yang for a long time, she missed it very much, and looked Wang Yang up and down.
Wang Yang touched her head, didn't say anything, but looked at the other side of the river.
On the opposite bank, there was also a large bearded miscanthus grass, yellow all over the ground, and the tips of the long grass were bent by the wind, setting off waves of grass.
The leader pointed ahead, indicating that this was the area frequented by the "giants", and that it was also the place where they had secretly come to observe.
Wang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the place, which was covered with miscanthus grass and saw nothing.
The leader got out of the alpaca and told him to sit on it and take a look.
He doesn't talk nonsense either. I rode it all at once.
At this time, I looked at it again, and it was still covered with miscanthus grass, and I couldn't see anything.
He asked the adult, why didn't he see anything?
The adult was stunned, thought for a while, and said that the other party should have gone hunting, not there.
Wang Yang nodded, turned around and went back to the tribe. Although he was concerned about this matter, now that he had come here, there was no need to rush to pounce on it.
At night, everyone sat around the campfire, looking at the boiling white meat and noodles in the pot, drooling one by one, looking extremely greedy.
Some people don't know about Wang Yang, some are newcomers, and some are children who have never seen Wang Yang, all of them are drawing pictures on the ground and asking others.
When they learned about Wang Yang's life, they all developed under his leadership, and they all widened their eyes in surprise and became respectful.
Naturally, there are many people who are looking at the order of eating tonight to judge who has the highest status, and there is no doubt that that person is Wang Yang.
Wang Yang is very accustomed to eating a little first under everyone's eyes, he doesn't have any idea about this, while eating, he asked Wang Yingying next to him, who is hosting the games here?
Wang Yingying pointed to herself.
Wang Yang asked her, don't you participate in the competition?
She shook her head, showing no interest.
Wang Yang waved his hand, a little helpless, indeed, people with relatively high status in the tribe have such an attitude towards the competition, if they want to participate, they will participate, if they don't want to participate, they will not participate, and there is no pursuit.
He asked Wang Yingying again, how is Xiaohong's side? She didn't get tired of playing in the grassland?
Wang Yingying said that she did not know, but recently she sent more than a dozen people to the grassland in advance according to Wang Yang's request to familiarize herself with the environment first, because in the future, there may be many animals to be raised there.
However, I haven't heard that Xiaohong is tired of playing, and she seems to like to wander the grassland.
Wang Yang thought to himself that of course, how good the grassland is, the sky is blue, boundless, the grass color and the floating clouds meet in the distance, blowing the wind, humming songs, lying on the grass and sleeping lazily without anything, how comfortable.
If I hadn't been able to separate myself, I would have gone there to have fun.
After eating, Wang Yang came to the side and watched the adults compete in full swing.
A group of children sat next to him curiously, looking at him from time to time, wanting to communicate with him, but they were still too scared to take the initiative to speak, so they had to keep squeezing over, getting as close as possible.
Wang Yang is not interested in mingling with the children, he doesn't understand the world of his friends.
Around the tribe, there will still be patrols of more than ten people, riding alpacas and carrying torches, constantly circling the tribe.
They also wanted to compete, but they didn't have the opportunity to participate, but the patrols were generally made up of strong men, and it didn't hurt that the women were more favored.
Wang Yang looked at their flickering firelight, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there was also a starry firelight by the river, and he suddenly wondered, why is there also firelight there, and is there also a patrol there?
He shouted at the patrol, pointed in the direction of the other side, and asked them what was going on.
As soon as they saw the fire, they immediately became vigilant, and Wang Yang read from their eyes that the people by the river were not tribesmen, but those "giants".
Immediately, he broke away from his friends, gathered his equipment, mounted on the fool's back, and quietly marched with the patrol there.
He was still a little puzzled, how could the group of people on the other side also use fire? Learned so quickly?
He hadn't considered that the group had already mastered the use of flames.
Although in various sources, it is indicated that the use of flame happened to be in this time period 1.8 million years ago.
But only a small part, by 100,000 years ago, there were still humans who did not know how to use fire.
These are two different concepts, the use of flames, just simple use, will not make fire, but if you master the flame, it means that you have to learn to make fire.
In order not to expose the target of himself and the others, he asked the patrol to extinguish the torches, and when there were still thirty meters left, they got off the alpacas together and lurked over on foot.
The night is quiet, especially since there are no other animals in this area, and it is extremely silent.
There was a sound of "pop, pop~" knocking on the water in front of him, and the fire gradually became larger, and everyone lowered their bodies again and stopped at ten meters.
They saw the whole picture of the river, and they also saw the group of "giants" clearly.
The group of "giants" was very tall, with a height of about one meter four in the river and on the bank, and ordinary people could hardly see the shore when they reached the river.
Even if you are an adult, there are many parts of it, and you can't see the shore in the river.
Wang Yang was slightly taller, perhaps 1.5 meters, about ten centimeters shorter than many Homo erectus, and even if he stood in the middle of the river, his eyes were just exposed.
But the size of that group of people is really tall, then they are about 17 or more in height, whether they are men or women, and they are generally more than 1.8 meters, and many Wang Yang suspects that they have reached two meters.
They were hunched over, their knees in the water, not knowing what they were doing. But what is certain is that as long as they stand up straight, they can quickly find Wang Yang and the others.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they are not very numerous, there are no full crews, only eight people.
Wang Yang was puzzled, what did they want to do when they came to the river? Crossing? (To be continued......)
