Chapter 98: Recognition (Part II)
According to Wang Tian's method, almost the entire Xi tribe was dispatched, and more than 180 people excavated, but Wang Tian had to ask them to stop after seeing the tools they used.
"Patriarch, these tools are too inefficient, if I draw a few pictures and let the clansmen make these tools, the efficiency will be improved a lot." Wang Tian drew hoes, shovels and some farm tools on the ground.
Otherwise, if you let the Xi tribe dig with those weapons or wood grass, they won't be able to dig them up for a year.
It took a day to get the tools done, and the people of the Xi tribe began to dig ditches, which was more than ten times faster.
Only Wang Tian, the patriarch and a few clan elders plus a dozen children did not dig a ditch, Wang Tian walked to the patriarch and asked, "Patriarch, don't the Xi tribe go hunting?" Don't you grow food either? ”
"It's just been a month since the beast tide, those beasts have just returned, and our food hasn't been eaten yet, so we're not in a hurry to hunt, as for what kind of food are you talking about?" The patriarch had already begun to agree with Wang Tian in his heart, so he also patiently answered Wang Tian's question.
"Food is edible, I don't know how to tell you, I'll draw it for you!" Wang Tian painted rice, wheat, barley, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops.
"These things don't taste very good, so it's better to eat fruit." These patriarchs painted by Wang Tian have seen them, and they have all tasted them, but the taste is not very good, it is not unpalatable, but it is much worse than fruits, and there are many fruits in the mountains and forests, so they generally do not eat these crops.
"How is that possible?" Wang Tian frowned and said, but he wasn't sure that this was not the earth after all, and he hadn't eaten it.
"Did you all eat these plants before?" The patriarch asked Wang Tian rhetorically.
"It's okay, it's just occasionally..."Wang Tian didn't eat it, so he didn't admit it, and then continued to ask: "Patriarch, how is our tribe's food preserved?" ”
"Fruits can generally be left for half a month, and beast meat can't be left for too long, it will spoil, so we need to dry it, but it's only during this time of the beast tide, and we usually hunt as much as we eat every day."
"Sun-dried? Is it okay not to bake it? Or pickled? Wang Tian asked differently, after all, their bodies didn't look like they were lacking in salt.
"Roast? Pickle? The patriarch was confused.
"Roast it with fire, marinate it with salt!" Wang Tian explained.
"Fire... How dare you use fire? The patriarch asked in shock, fire is a terrible thing for them, they used to live near the mountains and forests, and they built some wooden houses, but they tried to be destroyed by fire several times, and some people were burned to death, and they stayed away from fire.
"Fire is not as terrible as you think, as long as it is used properly, it will still bring us a lot of convenience, such as this..." Wang Tian took out a lighter, although he didn't smoke, he still carried a lighter with him.
The patriarch was naturally afraid of fire, so he took a few steps back, but after seeing Wang Tian turn off the lighter, he came over and asked, "This... What's going on? ”
"In our tribe, this is used to light fire, and the use of fire is very convenient for our lives, such as those beast meat, which tastes much better after being roasted over fire." Wang Tian finally understood why he hadn't seen them build a fire after coming here for so long.
"We've also eaten barbecue, but the taste is even worse than eating it directly." The people of the Xi tribe used to get some charred beast carcasses after the forest fires, and the taste was worse than raw food.
"I'll bake it for you to eat once when I have a chance in the future, and you'll know when the time comes." It's a bit far away from the mountains and forests, and there is no fire, so Wang Tian can't show them if he wants to.
Next, Wang Tian asked the patriarch a lot of questions, and the patriarch answered them one by one.
In addition to the Xi tribe, there are four other tribes within a radius of 100 miles, namely: the Yan tribe, the Tong tribe, the sea tribe, and the wind tribe, which support each other, and they are jointly dispatched every time the beast tide is reached.
When Wang Tian came here, he found that those blood stains were left by the battle between these tribes and the beast tide, and several tribes died more than a thousand people in that battle, and now each tribe only has more than a hundred to about two hundred people left.
And they all eat raw, except for the flesh of the beast, which is the wild fruit, there are no crops, they do not use fire, they have no salt, they all drink the blood of the beast to replenish the salt.
As for the usual food, they only have enough for the tribe to use every hunt, plus there are many wild fruits in the mountains and forests, these tribes will never lack food, and most of the weapons they use are stone tools.
Several tribes also need water, but it is rarely used, because everyone does not need to bathe, and a kind of herb will be used to remove the odor from the body, after all, it is too dangerous to get water, and if it is not for the lack of water in the fruit to replenish it, they will not go to get water.
Several other tribes need to come here to fetch water, and they should be coming soon.
The next day, half of the Xi tribe went hunting, Wang Tian asked them to pick up some wood and fire by the way, and not long after leaving, people from several other tribes also came here to get water.
"This is the tooth of the Yan tribe, this is the tooth of the Hitomi tribe...... "The patriarchs of all tribes are called "teeth", and the leaders are also collectively referred to as "Ling", and the underground warriors are ranked by strength, with Ling as the surname Ling Yi and Ling 2 all the way down.
Women use attachment as their surname, and attachment 1 and attachment 2 have been ranked down.
"Hello, I'm Wang Tian from the Huaxia tribe......" Wang Tian introduced himself.
"Hello, is it true that Xiya said that you brought a lot of crafts to teach us?" The patriarch of the Hitomi tribe asked Wang Tian.
"That's right, we have to change the status quo, we can't go on like this, the snow season is coming, we have to make some preparations, otherwise we will still have people freezing to death this year." Wang Tian also learned that the snow season is very cold every year, and although there will be no shortage of food, the severe cold will take away the clansmen of several tribes.
"Really?" Yan Tribe's Tooth asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true, you'll find out in a little while." Wang Tian said confidently.
Then Wang Tian chatted with them for a long time, and more than 200 people from other tribes came this time, and they also joined the team digging ditches.
After nightfall, the people of the Xi tribe who had gone out to hunt returned, and seventy or eighty people came back with more than 20 wild beasts and more than 10 bags of wild fruits, plus more than 30 fires.
Wang Tian began to build a fire, and asked the people of the Xi tribe to get a few grills, cut the beast into several large pieces, and put them on top of the grill.
The fire was lit, and everyone except Wang Tian flashed far away, and only Wang Tian was doing it alone.
"You don't have to be afraid, don't you see I'm fine? The fire is not as terrible as you think..."
