Chapter 101: Fantasy and Reality
Bruno, who was walking at the back of the team, also caught up and happily praised: "Your hand is really good, a soldier who surrenders without a fight is simply the best strategy in the art of war." I saved many casualties among my students. Even I didn't think at first that you could think of a way to stop them from arousing their suspicion and design a way for them to stop in an ambush and build a road. Hehe, ordinary people can't think of such a close-knit tactic that grips people's hearts step by step, have you or your family ever been a general and fought a war before?"
Eddie on the other side immediately gave him a very happy explanation: "The teacher used to lead the tribe to fight in the south and the north, and it was only ...... to fight out of the encirclement."
"Ahem......" Because it involved a lot of dishonorable methods that he used to trick several internal opponents into being cannon fodder when he was fighting for the leadership of the tribe, Master Chen quickly coughed and interrupted what Eddie was going to say next.
Eddie recalls that when his father died, he himself was eleven years old.
When his mother was just one month old, she died of postpartum weakness and infection because of poor hygiene.
As a matter of fact.
For more than 1,600 years, the Karui tribes of different castes have built wooden houses and walled cities in the dense jungles by the sea, where fish are abundant.
Therefore, their drying, fire prevention and hygienic cleaning are very problematic.
For the tribesmen who are close to the primitive life of fishing and hunting in ancient times, being able to remember not to defecate in the open near their homes and make it stinky is already considered to be more hygienic.
Wash your hands before eating, then you must think too much~
Many little girls watched ancient TV series such as handsome guy vampires, aristocratic love history, and royal palace scheming, and they felt "wow" People were dressed so gorgeously at that time, and people lived so comfortably at that time~
In fact, it's all because I didn't think with my brain, and the first impression of being falsely advertised by the wrong one produced an unrealistic fantasy desire, which is similar to the obscenity of otaku.
In fact, at that time, people were not necessarily willing to use tools to eat.
Instead, most of them are like the Vikings in "Viking Legends", at most, they use a boning knife to cut the flesh and bones, cut it into several pieces and pile them on a wooden plate, and it is the norm to grasp and gnaw wildly with their hands.
Similar to the Middle Ages in ancient Europe, tableware such as wooden spoons were used only for soup.
Until about the 13th century, Europeans used their fingers to eat.
There were also certain rules of etiquette when eating with fingers: the Romans distinguished their status by the number of fingers, the commoners had five fingers, the educated nobles only used three fingers, and the ring and little fingers could not touch the food.
This rule of eating continued into the 16th century and is still practiced by Europeans.
The edible fork, which first appeared in the Tusca region of Italy in the 11th century, has only two forks.
The clergy of the time did not approve of forks, believing that humans could only touch God-given food with their hands.
The creation of cutlery by wealthy Tuscanians was tempted by Satan and was an act of blasphemy.
Ironically, Italian sources record that a Venetian noblewoman died within a few days of eating with a fork, most likely due to the plague, while the clergy told people that she had been condemned and warned against eating with a fork.
From such a small matter as the fork, we can peek into the negative impact of feudal and ignorant religious rule at that time, and the huge obstacle to social progress.
It was not until the 12th century that the Archbishop of Canter, Earl of England, introduced the fork to the people of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom.
It is said that the nobles did not like to eat with forks at that time, but they often held forks in their hands and used them as weapons in duels, perhaps in consideration of the fact that they could reduce the high fatality rate of noble duels?
Of course, it is not known how the sissy aristocracy at that time thought about this.
For the Anglo-Saxons of the 14th century, forks were still only imports, such as Edward I, who had seven forks made of gold and silver.
Most medieval Europeans at the time liked to cut food into pieces with a knife and grasp it with their fingers and put it in their mouths, and if a man ate with a fork, it meant that if he was not a fussy person, he was a sissy.
In the 18th century, when the French aristocracy preferred to eat with a fork with four tines, the implicit meaning of the use of this fork can almost be equated with a noble meaning that is different from the other.
As a result, the fork became a symbol of status, luxury, and sophistication, and then gradually became a must-have tableware.
This made the Western food etiquette and utensils of later generations slowly take shape.
And for the very busy tribe of the Karui people.
All ~ need to pay a certain amount of physical labor every day, including not only the elderly, women, but also all children over 8 years old - that is, taller than the wheels of a wooden carriage (I seem to have mentioned something remarkable ~ the head standard during the Meng Gu Xi Expedition. Funny jpg).
In addition to the construction of walled houses, there were also heavy manual tasks such as hunting and fishing.
There is also a lot of important work such as repairing fishing nets, picking and digging wild vegetables and fruits, and sharpening the sharp edges of long hairs, all of which are done by other people who are not physically strong enough to do it in addition to the young adults.
Generally, there will be a relaxing bedtime break and small talk time after dinner.
When it was time to work during the day, both men and women would just pick up the cooked food and stuff it all over their mouths.
So~
You really can't really take it seriously when it comes to hygiene.
When you walk to the corner of the middle of the walled city, or step out of the wooden log tribe wall, it's normal to step on the yellow blockage.
Although the children of the tribe were in charge of the family for a long time, when Eddie's father died, he could still recall clearly the huge psychological shock and impact of the death of his loved ones in front of him for the first time, as well as the feeling of despair and helplessness.
But he didn't have the extent to change his life against the sky like the protagonist in the protagonist, immediately working hard, practicing eighteen kinds of martial arts.
It's just that from being idle in the past, to wanting to earn and accumulate enough gold coins, saying that I want to find a place for myself to settle in a peaceful, beautiful and rich city with a sense of security.
But.
In this world of great strife, where there are people, there are fights and fights.
The search for a peaceful and beautiful city is as ludicrous and futile as many modern earthlings try to find a sense of security in terms of money and hope for immigrants.
Human nature is complex and changeable, and how can human beings in other countries be exceptions, they are all beautified and fooled by people with ulterior motives, or they are fooled by the unrealistic desire in their hearts, and they have fooled their own intelligence.
