Chapter Seventy-Three: Planting and Breeding!
The emergence of planting and breeding undoubtedly has a far-reaching impact on the development of primitive human beings on the earth.
They laid the foundation for mankind to move from a barbaric primitive society to an agrarian and nomadic civilization.
And here, in fact, planting and breeding have always existed.
For example, the peach trees of the peach tribe can harvest a large number of peaches for food every year when they bear fruit.
The same is true of the bamboo of the bamboo tribe, which not only provides materials for the tribe to build bamboo houses and tools for making, but also grows delicious bamboo shoots for human consumption.
As for breeding, there are many red foxes and saber-toothed tigers living in both the fox tribe and the tiger tribe, which can help the warriors in the tribe to hunt.
This has a great similarity with the early domestication of dogs by primitive people on earth to help with hunting.
However, the cultivation and cultivation of this world have one thing in common, and that is that they all have a great relationship with the guardian spirits of the tribe.
And Lin Luo also knew very well in his heart that the development of primitive humans on the earth was not applicable here at all.
In this primitive world with fantasy colors, if a tribe enters a pure agricultural civilization or nomadic civilization like the primitive tribes of the earth.
That means that the tribe is not far from extinction.
Because here, there are many powerful beasts that are not found on earth.
If the tribe is completely dependent on agriculture and nomadism, it means that the tribe will give up the dangerous hunting life.
At that time, if the spirit is unable to obtain the flesh and blood sacrifice of the beast, it will choose to leave to find a new tribe.
Once the tribe loses its guardian spirit, it means that there will be no more totem warriors.
In this primitive world full of dangers, if there is no guardian spirit protection and no powerful totem warrior to protect it, no matter how large the scale of the tribe is under the abundant food, it will all be vulnerable.
Because whether it is a powerful beast or other tribes with totemic warriors, they can easily defeat it.
Therefore, when Lin Luo considered breeding fish in the tribe before, he was also entangled in his heart for a long time.
He was afraid that his decision would lead the Bamboo Tribe on a path of extinction.
Later, Lin Luo, who was entangled in his heart, went to ask Ling and Wu about it, and after getting the acquiescence of Ling and Wu, he finally put it into action.
According to Wu's explanation, in fact, the development of planting and breeding is not so terrible for the tribe, as long as they do not give up hunting because of sufficient food.
Moreover, with sufficient food, as the tribe's population continues to grow, it is possible to gradually focus on all the fierce beasts.
In this way, the tribe can even grow stronger.
The bamboo tribe, and even the other three tribes in the nearby mountains, have always lived by hunting, and have not developed much in terms of breeding and planting, mainly because of the harsh weather conditions.
Here, the summer season and the dead season are two extreme seasons, and in the case that the tribesmen are still dying because of the lack of water in the summer season, or the cold and hunger in the dead season, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to develop farming.
The reason why Lin Luo tried to raise fish this time was because there was a spring on Zhushan, which could ensure sufficient water sources.
Otherwise, the fish pond will be sunburned in the summer season to the point that there is not a drop of water left, so how can you raise fish!
As for planting, there don't seem to be crops such as rice and wheat that can be used as staple foods in the vicinity.
And even if there were, it would be difficult to grow on a large scale in harsh weather conditions.
Therefore, all four tribes are mainly gatherers, and when they find edible wild fruits, they will make a note of the location and go to collect them every year when the fruits are ripe.
......
"Wow!", "Wow!", "Wow!", ......
As the large bamboo tanks were dumped, the big fish fell into the fish pond with the current.
This fish pond was rebuilt from a storage tank dug to store spring water, and the area is about one acre.
Compared to the size of the big fish, this fish pond is obviously smaller, and there are not many fish at all.
But Lin Luo didn't care, because this breeding was just an attempt.
After all, the tribe rarely hunted fish before, including spirits, and no one knew the habits of these fish, so it was not certain whether they could feed them.
Therefore, Lin Luo only has the attitude of trying, if he can feed it, then he will start to expand the scale next year.
If you can't feed it, then you should use it as a reserve for meat, and you will continue to catch it next year.
Through continuous summing up experience, artificial breeding will be realized one day.
After watching all the big fish being poured into the fish pond, Lin Luo went to the back mountain again to check the storage of the ice bricks brought back into the ice cellar.
......
In this way, in the busyness, more than a month has passed in a flash.
On the ice of large rivers,
"Yong, bring me a piece of meat!"
A warrior shouted at Yong.
And then. ”
Hearing this, Yong immediately took out a piece of flesh and blood from the bamboo tube beside him and threw it towards the warrior.
Reaching out to take the piece of flesh that Yong had thrown, the warrior expertly stuck it into the stone spear, then held the stone spear and lowered it above the ice cave in front of him.
At this moment, on the ice of the great river, there are quite a few warriors who are doing the same thing.
After such a long period of hunting, the tribe has stored a large amount of fish and meat, and now it has a tendency to overflow.
The dead season was about to pass, and without the severe cold, the fish would not be preserved for long, so the chief ordered to stop hunting ordinary fish and focus on the fierce beast big fish.
And what they are doing at the moment is to catch a big fish.
Using the flesh and blood of the beast as bait can scare away those ordinary fish, and lure the big beast fish to jump out of the water and devour the flesh.
"Wow!"
Soon, the ice cave in front of one of the warriors splashed with a huge splash of water, and a huge cyan figure jumped out of the water, swallowing the flesh and blood of the fierce beast inserted in the stone spear into its stomach in one bite.
"It's a water beast!"
Looking at the huge figure that jumped onto the ice, a warrior immediately shouted loudly.
"Water beasts?"
Lin Luo, who was waiting for the fierce beast to take the bait and hunt, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this voice.
In the big river, there are not only big fish, but also terrifying water beasts.
Most of these water beasts are amphibious animals, and although they are not as flexible as they are in the water on land, they are much more difficult to deal with than fish beasts.
Just stunned for less than two seconds, Lin Luo quickly grabbed the bone knife and rushed over.
