Chapter 404: Cultural Enlightenment
In the process of hunting antelopes, four of the lambs were deliberately kept by Xu Ran, Xu Ran thought that this was just enough to teach primitive people to learn animal husbandry, Xu Ran had also seen sheep raising in the sheep herding base, and it was just right to guide primitive people how to raise sheep; In this forest area, grass resources are also abundant, and feeding sheep is convenient and realistic, which can provide a new source of things for primitive tribes.
In order to prevent the attack of those birds of prey on the sheep, Xu Ran specially taught the primitive people to build a sheepfold with bricks, and the top of the sheepfold was made of thick wooden sticks as a skeleton, which was placed horizontally on the gable wall of the sheepfold, and then covered with branches and leaves on the top, which not only played a role in blocking the line of sight, but also played a certain role in regulating the temperature of the sheepfold.
It's a pity that there are no nails, otherwise Xu Ran could start to build the sheepfold into a tile roof structure, and organizing primitive people to burn some tiles here is easy for Xu Ran; If you can tile the sheepfold, you can protect it from rain.
It's a pity that there are a lot of wastes waiting to be rebuilt here, and Xu Ran has an empty stomach of ideas, and he has to consider the feasibility of implementation.
Like those coarse sticks used as beams for sheepfolds, if there is a saw, it is easy to intercept, and this kind of labor can be done by primitive people independently; But Xu Ran can only use his 'Spiritual Power Guardian Ability' to cut the thick wooden stick to the length he needs, for Xu Ran, this matter is also simple, he only needs to use fire in a certain part of the thick wooden stick, and then control the flame to prevent it from burning beyond the boundary, and when the wooden stick is burned off, he will get the length of the stick he needs. However, this method is not generalizable, and basically does not help the development of the primitive tribes themselves; It's just that for Xu Ran, this kind of process can be regarded as a kind of 'spiritual power and material exercise'.
For the cultural enlightenment of primitive people, Xu Ran also deliberately put some effort into teaching them to know and write Huaxia and speak Huaxia; Due to the limited vocabulary of the primitive tribes, they usually did not use too many languages to communicate, so when they came into contact with Huaxia, they also accepted it quickly; Moreover, they themselves are willing to learn the language used by the great gods, so their subjective initiative to learn Huaxia is very high, and it is no longer a problem for them to use simple Huaxia to communicate.
As for literacy, those children know more than adult men and women; When Xu Ran taught them words, he also adapted measures to local conditions, and the words he taught gave priority to what they wanted to say in their daily language or what they would come into contact with in their daily life. Like those beasts in the forest, if Xu Ran knew it, he would directly teach it to the primitive people according to the names he knew, and if he didn't know, he would mark them with homophones in Huaxia according to the original names of the primitive people, so that it was also convenient for the primitive people to remember.
In terms of digital measurement, Xu Ran is teaching primitive Arabic numerals, at present, those primitive children can use Arabic numerals to count to 100, Xu Ran has begun to teach them the addition of single digits, as for those adult men and women, there are not many who can count to 100 at present, but everyone is very hard-working, and their enthusiasm for learning is also high; Xu Ran thinks that the reason why those adults are less efficient at learning than children may be that their memory and ability to accept new things are not as good as these children.
For these children, Xu Ran also began to consciously teach them basic stick moves, this is to allow them to strengthen their bodies, and the other is to allow them to learn a martial art, although their tribe currently has no external human enemies, but with martial arts, when dealing with wild beasts, they can also improve their strength; Of course, let them use such martial arts to deal with large-sized dinosaurs, they don't have to think about it, they are definitely not opponents, after all, the two sides are not an order of magnitude.
But having a martial art can at least make you more athletic, and if you have a martial art, Xu Ran feels that it should be no problem for them to deal with a wolf alone or a group of tigers.
The adult men were also very interested when they heard that this stick technique was a martial art and that it would increase their chances of victory against small beasts; They were too embarrassed to ask the children to practice during the rest of the hunt, so that they could imitate it. Although they are inexplicable for the time being, they trust the great god 100%, and as long as the great god says that this is a useful martial art, they will never doubt it.
After Xu Ran saw that he had mobilized their enthusiasm, he clearly told them that as long as they wanted to learn, they must be able to count to a hundred, as long as this condition was met, regardless of gender, Xu Ran would teach them together at that time; This really aroused the enthusiasm of these adults to learn, and many men and women were still reciting those Arabic numerals when they rested in the evenings.
For the ideology and morality of the primitive tribe, Xu Ran did not want to carry out forced indoctrination, so he did not deliberately introduce any ideas, Xu Ran hoped that the primitive tribes could develop themselves according to the model they wanted, after all, compared with the primitive people, the generation gap between their own ideology and primitive people is too big; What you think is appropriate may not be in line with the actual situation of the primitive tribe and the law of development of the primitive tribe at all.
However, despite his non-interventionist attitude, when Xu Ran encounters issues of interest, he still likes to discuss and communicate with the people of the primitive tribe, listen to their views on things, and understand their thinking patterns.
When hunting, the leader of the primitive tribe is the object that Xu Ran likes to talk to, Xu Ran feels that this leader is more thoughtful than other men, and will consider problems more and more deeply, obviously a person who is willing to use his brain; Xu Ran didn't know if the other party was selected as the leader of the tribe because of this strength.
Xu Ran now also knows that the leader of this tribe is not hereditary, when the previous leader is old and weak, or dies, the new leader will be re-elected among those male members, and during this period, the previous leader can also nominate an heir, but this nomination is only a reference, and it has to be voted by other male members.
When he returned to his cave house, 'Qingfeng' and 'Mingyue' were Xu Ran's favorite communication objects, the two were not only gentle and considerate, but also able to talk to Xu Ran about thoughts; Mingyue's also knows everything, after all, for the great god, there is no need to hide this, and the two women have no concept of fortification.
Therefore, Xu Ran also likes to communicate with the two of them, and everyone will discuss with each other about some issues that they can't figure out, and express their opinions to each other, which can be said to be very happy with each other; This also makes the three parties have a feeling of meeting a soulmate, which is a wonderful feeling.
Especially for 'Qingfeng' and 'Mingyue', in the past, they usually ate and slept at night, and when they encountered problems that they couldn't figure out and couldn't figure out, they just ignored them and stopped paying attention, but now they can talk to people and solve their doubts, which is too comfortable for them who are full of curiosity; Although sometimes the great gods can't answer their confusion, at least the great gods understand the depth of their thinking, and this extraordinary sense of accomplishment alone makes them very happy; It also further sublimated the relationship between them and Xu Ran, and they both felt that when they confided their hearts, they had a loyal audience, and this was a confidant.
After confirming that 'Qingfeng' and 'Mingyue' were pregnant, Xu Ran no longer had a fishy relationship with them, Xu Ran was considering that he should try to protect the little life in his belly as much as possible; the two women persuaded Xu Ran not to scruple, after all, primitive people also have their experience in this area, and people think that as long as they don't exercise when they have a big belly, they will have no problem with the child in the womb; however, the two women's proposals were denied by Xu Ran, and Xu Ran must fully do a good job of safety protection.
So, when the night was long and I didn't know how to spend it, Xu Ran either talked to the two daughters or told stories to the two girls; It's really embarrassing to say that this story is told, what kind of story is appropriate, the background of the two worlds is too different, can people understand the story they tell; Xu Ran has the idea of telling stories, and he also thinks that once his child is born in the future, he must let his mother tell some stories to him.
And when he was full of confidence for the first time and boasted that he wanted to tell a story to the two girls, he suddenly realized that he really didn't know where to start, but at that time, looking at the excited and expectant eyes of the two girls, Xu Ran couldn't stop the car, and after thinking about it again, he told a story that also belongs to fantasy in his real world - Stephen Chow's "Moonlight Treasure Box", this film Xu Ran likes it very much, and I think it is very classic; His original intention was just to tell the two daughters as a good story, and he could tell the two girls the truth, it was a fantasy story of his own world, so as not to mislead the two daughters wrongly.
But when he finished speaking, he found that the two girls were holding back tears and didn't let themselves cry, and Xu Ran knew that the two women were moved; Xu Ran wanted to let the two girls sleep, but the two girls were completely sleepy at this time, after all, the story did not have a happy ending, and the two girls were eager to inquire about what happened later, which made Xu Ran explain clearly, originally the film left a suspense for the audience to make up for themselves, but I didn't expect that these two women refused to make up for their brains and must get a satisfactory answer from Xu Ran.
Xu Ran was helpless, he didn't want to deal with the two girls casually, and even if he wanted to deal with the two sentences randomly, he might not be able to get rid of the two girls, after all, it was not easy to give a satisfactory answer; It's like we sometimes tell stories to children, in our opinion, the story is over, but in the eyes of the more serious children, the story has not been explained clearly, so we have to continue to tell it; In fact, to put it in detail, maybe those children are right, everything should have an accurate ending, instead of letting us make up for it casually and fool ourselves with an ending.
At this time, Xu Ran, in desperation, continued to extend the story, so Xu Ran went on to talk about the sisters of "Moonlight Treasure Box" - "The Great Sage Marrying"
