Chapter 102: The Wonderful Use of Words
Chen Chao secretly thought in his heart that the little old man only knew that words were useful, and he could only understand that they were useful within a few ranges that he knew. I didn't know that the magic of words was endless and related to everything, so I could take this opportunity to guide him to think about it in other faces.
Thinking of this, Chen Chao continued, "Yes, in the future, our tribe will have to let people go to distant places to trade. At that time, whenever they went to a place, they recorded some local conditions.
Like, what kind of tribe is this? Where is it? How many people are there? How do I get there? Does this tribe have the qualifications to trade with us, etc...
And if we know the specific situation of these places, doesn't it matter what we have to do later, if we want to annex this tribe, and know the specific situation of it, is it more beneficial for us?
And is this only possible with words?
If you speak, you may have some important characteristics of other tribes that people remember at the time, but what if many days have passed since you returned to the tribe and you have forgotten them?
Is it possible to influence our judgment? And what if you have to record many tribes at once? ”
The little old man nodded again and again when he heard this, Chen Chao's small stove tonight opened a new world for him, and let him see that there are more possibilities for the use of words.
This made him even more determined to grasp the text more tightly after he went back.
Except for those little kids, the adults can't be left behind, otherwise they won't be able to walk in the future, and they will send an adult out, and they won't know what the situation is.
Wouldn't it be impossible to send anyone out? You can't send a group of adults and match a child, right? Or is it a boss? Isn't that funny?!
Severed Finger Rinon next to him just listened silently to the conversation between the two high-ranking tribal leaders, trying to understand the meaning of their words.
Chen Chao drew the route he walked today, then laid out his animal skin and prepared to sleep, he looked at the little old man in a daze for a while, and then ran to chat with Qu and the others who were keeping vigil in front of him, anyway, he didn't mean to sleep.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the little old man still had no intention of coming back to sleep. Chen Chao had no choice but to go to his exclusive car to take down all his animal skins and spread them on the ground.
When he came out, he brought six layers of animal skin to the little old man, which was really called a warmth.
The first person in the Tianyuan tribe to enjoy this treatment~
In addition, he himself has two animal skin clothes and a big alpaca coat, so he can't be cold.
And the little old man brought these six layers of animal skin quilt, and when the time came, who in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had any accidents, such as the quilt was wet, and he could pass two layers from the little old man's side, in general, be prepared.
After laying out the little old man's animal skin quilt, Chen Chao brought back the little old man who had finished chatting with Qu and was about to take the stone to chisel the map of the wooden board by the firelight.
"Sleep! I've got to walk all day tomorrow! ”
The reluctant little old man had no choice but to burrow into the warm animal skin bed, obediently close his eyes and sleep.
During this period, Chen Chao was awakened by urine once, and came back after solving it outside the cave.
It was just the time for the second and third rounds of night watchmen to rotate, Chen Chao checked the burning level of the bonfire and the mental state of the third round of night watchmen, and then covered the animal skin quilt that a certain little old man kicked off, and went to sleep.
The next day, just after dawn, everyone got up. In fact, everyone didn't sleep very well, because suddenly changing to a strange place, people must be very vigilant in their hearts.
After a simple breakfast, I heated a few pots of snow water and prepared to pour it into the pig's urine bubble.
While waiting for the hot water to change temperature, Chen Chao took everyone to check the situation of the wheels and wheelbarrows, as well as the specific situation of the pottery, and after making sure that there was no problem, everyone set off.
Then he walked out of the plains and into the forest. No way, the first tribe to go has to go through this forest and climb a mountain behind to reach one of the tribes on this trip.
After walking through that black forest last time, Chen Chao now has an inexplicable fear of the unfamiliar forest.
Fortunately, this forest looks like a relatively normal forest from the outside, mainly because it is not dark, and the light can pass through, otherwise the primeval forest is really very human.
But for the sake of insurance, Chen Chao still made three torches and held them for the two people who didn't have a cart and a little old man with sheep's horns, just in case.
If you really encounter a wild beast, you can scare them with a torch first.
After making sure that there was no danger around the forest, Chen Chao pushed the wind-powered unicycle to the front, and the other six unicycles lined up in turn and walked behind.
Two men who were not pushing the wheelbarrow walked on the side, carrying three short spears on their backs and stone axes in their hands, in case there was any sudden danger around them.
This position rotates once a day, from the front to the back. In this way, everyone can have a chance to rest for the whole day every few days.
And the seven men pushing the wheelbarrow, weapons such as stone axes and short spears were also placed in the most convenient positions for them, so that if there was danger, it was very convenient to reach.
As for a certain little old man, he was the easiest anyway, and walked to the front of the whole convoy leisurely, and a hiking stick was waved in his hand.
Sometimes I go too fast, and I have to stop and wait for the convoy~
As for how to take the route, don't look at the little old man running so fast, in fact, he doesn't know anything.
The entire convoy relied on Chen Chao to guide the way, such as how to pass through this forest, where there would be a stream to stop for lunch, and where there might be prey in the forest, so you could stop and replenish some food.
Chen Chao said that when he passed by here before, he found that there were several medium-sized tribes here, and there were several large tribes further afield.
In fact, among these dozen people, there are only a few who have really gone far away. It's already a great thing to be like a little old man and know that there are other small tribes near his tribe.
In this day and age, more people may only be active within a radius of a few dozen miles for the rest of their lives. Of course, there are also tribes that move from place to place in search of food or a variety of things. However, most of these are smaller tribes, such as the former grass tribes, who have undergone many migrations (relocations) for various reasons.
And some large tribes with more than 100 or 1,000 people basically do not migrate because of changes in food. They must have a stable source of food to be able to have the ability and possibility to grow into a large enough tribe.
So this time, Chen Chao said that the big tribes he had seen had noses and eyes, which made people think that he had really seen such a big tribe. Out of trust in him, the little old man finally thought about it for a few days and decided to follow the direction Chen Chao said.
Because the tribes known to the little old man were either from the side of the Tree tribe (east) or from the Xian tribe (west).
And considering that there is no need to go specifically, because in his memory, these tribes are either about the same size as the Tianyuan tribe, or they are a little bigger.
The largest is the size of two or three Tian Yuan tribes, and the population doesn't look like it can satisfy its appetite. If you want to go, just find someone to push a trolley alone when you come back.
And I don't know if they can digest all the goods on a trolley, if they come back in a circle at the end, and the batch of goods in their hands has not been replaced, they can consider going there.
Another reason is that because these tribes are very close to the Tian Yuan tribe, there is no need to take them so far after changing the population. But it can't be changed now, because a lot of the strong laborers in the tribe have been taken away by themselves, and it is not suitable or safe to exchange the population of other tribes back now.
So out of all considerations, the little old man with the sheep's horn also agreed to Chen Chao's proposal, that is, to go to a farther tribe first, change from far to near, and then directly bring a group of people back.
And he remembered a small method that Chen Chao told him, and he couldn't help but feel moved.
