Chapter 13: The Helpless Wang Yang
Where there are people, there is strife, and the same is true here.
There will be no dissension over food because they do not yet have a sense of personal property.
However, in terms of mates, it is still similar to ordinary animals, and will fight until one party is beaten and cannot be moved, or one party admits defeat.
This is the most effective way to resolve all contradictions.
Wang Yang now wants to beat people very much, wants to beat everyone up and make them listen to him.
But firstly, he couldn't beat it, and secondly, it only scared them for a short time, and then forgot about it after a while.
What he wants is for everyone to be in awe of him, so that a collective can be more united.
At present, because of what he did before, everyone can only say that he respects himself, allows himself to eat the first food, and sleeps in a warm place, but it is far from the point of fearing himself, and it is impossible to take his orders seriously.
This is where he gets a headache.
But he didn't have a good solution for a while.
After the first expedition to the depths of the forest, I didn't feel too afraid of the beasts in the forest, except for the snake, no matter how powerful the other beasts were, they couldn't beat so many people.
He thought that the adults did not dare to go deep into the forest because they lacked a sense of security, and as long as he helped them regain their sense of security and self-confidence, they would definitely enter the forest.
And the source of security lies in weapons, Wang Yang understands very well that they do not have long weapons, and they suffer very much in the face of carnivores.
So at the moment, Wang Yang was not in a hurry to enter the deep forest for the second time, but near the mouth of the valley, he cut a big tree with a stone axe, preparing to make a dozen wooden spears.
In this era of low production capacity, it is not easy to make a useful wooden spear.
The difficulty is not whether the tip of the spear is sharpened, but the body of the spear, that is, where it is grasped by the hand.
The place had to be very smooth, without a little protrusion or a little wrinkled spines, otherwise it would be very embarrassing to hunt the animal.
How embarrassing?
The place you are holding is not smooth, there are bumps, and you will prick the boar's body, and as soon as the reaction force comes up, your hand will slide forward, and there will be thorns where there are bumps, and you will pierce directly into the palm.
Think about it, that thorn is like a needle, how painful it is to pierce the finger and into the palm.
Wounding a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred oneself still can't bring a sense of security.
Therefore, the most important thing is to cut the spear body smoothly and flatly.
Wang Yang's own spear took more than half a month.
And he couldn't explain the benefits and making of spears to the adults, so he had to work his own, which was very hard.
Of course, he didn't waste a bit of labor.
Adults would go out to hunt during the day, and Wang Yang, no matter what the adults thought of him, complained that he didn't go out every day, holding a stone axe, and cutting down big trees in a sullen voice.
He cut a tree trunk one meter and six meters long, and cut out a rectangular wooden stick five centimeters wide in front of all his friends.
Then he stopped caring about it, and asked his friends to follow him, and took down section after section of rectangular sticks.
It was just a simple imitation of learning, and he taught it for several days, and he had to carve out one shape after another on the trunk of a tree, and then demonstrate it himself, so that they could get the hang of it.
This project was handed over to four friends in the age group of four and five, they couldn't do anything else, and they saw Wang Yang different from a young age, and admired him very much, so they worked.
And that's not all.
Those three-year-old friends were assigned the task of sharpening the tip of the spear by Wang Yang.
He carved a circle at the top of the stick, five centimeters, and sharpened it down here.
These friends were idle anyway, so they picked up small stone chips and began to sharpen them with a sharp end.
The whole process progressed very slowly, and sometimes they didn't want to do it, but they had no choice, under Wang Yang's obscenity, they could only continue to work.
After the resources and work were allocated, Wang Yang concentrated on sharpening the spear body, rounding and smoothing every part of each spear as much as possible, so as to minimize the chance of hurting himself.
In this way, two months passed, and summer ushered in.
Wang Yang and his friends, after long-term unremitting efforts and active and orderly work, finally made twenty long wooden spears, which is simply a miracle.
Wang Yang couldn't help but feel very proud when he saw the adults holding the wooden spears in their hands, dancing and stabbing them, and at the same time sighed extremely tired but happy.
"Now I can finally go into the deep forest to hunt, the source of food can be greatly improved, I can eat meat every day, and I can finally go to find rattan!"
But what Wang Yang didn't expect was that how could the adults' long-term fear of the depths of the forest be offset by a wooden spear that didn't know how to use it?
They didn't even know that with the wooden spear, their combat effectiveness was greatly improved, and they could hunt lone beasts collectively unharmed.
Their knowledge of wooden spears is very limited, and they only use them as ordinary tools to stab rats and other holes, hoping that they will not be so troublesome and directly stab the rats to death.
The efficiency has improved slightly, and they are very happy and love Wang Yang very much.
However, Wang Yang was about to go crazy, and this little increase in efficiency was not enough to make up for the food needs of the population.
Do you really have to die to have the courage to go deep into the forest?
If you calculate the time, summer will end in another month, and autumn will last only one and a half months.
In other words, in two and a half months, winter will come, and at that time, animals will hibernate and plants will wither, and there will be very little food to be found.
Even if you go deep into the forest, you won't necessarily be able to hunt anything.
In these short two and a half months, what else can Wang Yang do?
He didn't know that he was very confused, and he really couldn't do anything about a group of uncivilized and stubborn apes.
He was in terrible pain.
Eventually, he decided to re-enter the forest.
No matter what they thought, Wang Yang still had to be fed and clothed, and entering the depths of the forest was an extremely dangerous exercise, and he had to quickly adapt to a person's battle, so that even if the crisis came, he could have some self-preservation.
He came to the junction line, looked back at the crowd, pointed ahead with his spear, and screamed twice vigorously, hoping that someone would stand up and go in with him.
But he was disappointed again, their eyes were still so puzzled, and they didn't understand why Wang Yang wanted to take the risk.
That incomprehensible look, in Wang Yang's opinion, is so ironic.
Isn't it enough to do so much yourself? Why don't they just understand?
Turning his head in disappointment, Wang Yang laughed at himself, took a deep breath, and walked into the depths of the forest.
The world in front of me was once again darkened, and only the "chirping" of cicadas and small insects could be heard. (Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) )
