Chapter 9 Ambition Shifts from Hunting to Farming

It was raining outside, and it was pouring rain for two days.

Chen Mo lay lazily on the deerskin, quietly watching the river happily fiddling with the deerskin knot next to the fire, primitive people don't know how to count, even the smart river only knows addition and subtraction within three, and if it exceeds four, it doesn't understand it at all.

It has been four days since the last incident by the river, and in the past four days, Chen Mo has finally understood that it is not easy to be a teacher and a father.

From beating to scolding, to tempting with food, to persuading each other with good voices, Chen Mo has used all the methods he can think of. To sum up, teach the wild child who worships himself to read, if you hit him, he will think that you are going to kill him, so he will hand you the bone spear, then close his eyes, and wait for you.

If you scold him, he will kneel on the ground and kowtow, kowtow, bang, and make you regret your decision in distress.

In the end, I persuaded each other with a good voice, and found that gentle teaching was the most effective. By now, he can already say dozens of Chinese characters in the recent book, and he can count to ten.

Chen Mo picked up the fruit next to him, took a bite, and then shouted: "River, count!"

Hehe, who was sitting by the fire, hurriedly put down the deerskin knot and said, "Yi, Ga, Mountain, Eat, Grain, Dog, Chicken, Melon, Bucket, Ten!"

Chen Mo nodded, stretched out his two hands, raised seven fingers, and asked, "How much is this?"

He looked at Chen Mo's raised hand, and then thought for a moment: "Chicken!"

Chen Mo then withdrew another hand and asked, "How many?" He immediately replied, "Gu!" Chen Mo then grabbed a handful of mountain dates and asked, "How many?"

The river took the mountain dates and put them on the ground: "Yi, Ga, Mountain, Eat, Valley, Dog, Chicken, Melon, Dou, Ten, Yi ......"

Looking at the river that was carefully counting, Chen Mo lay down again, nibbling on the wild fruit with taste. After eating the wild fruits, the river also counted the mountain dates, ran over and said, "Dates, mountains, ga!"

Chen Mo nodded, this kind of education in the past two days has been very successful. If this educational method is applied to modern kindergartens, the children's literacy rate will increase by half! Chen Mo was impressed by his own wisdom!

Tiger Master went out when it rained the day before, and there was no news for two days, Chen Mo changed from being anxious at the beginning to waiting. Although they haven't been together for a long time, Chen Mo has already regarded Hu Ye as his relatives and friends. After all, this was the first intelligent creature he came to the primitive society to get along.

It rained for two days, and Chen Mo was too lazy to move, and he consciously collected a lot of wild fruits outside, most of which Chen Mo didn't know.

The leaves on the trees began to slowly turn yellow, and Chen Mo thought about how to spend the winter, so it was strange that he could not freeze to death by relying on the half of the torn jeans on his body. Yesterday I was bored, and I counted the property of the entire tribe of the navy now: half a large deer skin, two rabbit skins, one broken goatskin, two broken fawn skins, one skin that seemed to be a roe deer, a poked krait, three bone spears, and two bone knives.

The poor are pitiful, and they are also very stumbling. Now you have to collect firewood, it's better to make a door, the wind in winter is very biting, in order not to catch a cold, you can only find a way to maintain the temperature of the cave, before typhoid fever can be regarded as half a terminal illness.

The rain outside had lightened, and it seemed to have stopped. Chen Mo put on tattered sneakers and walked out, the autumn wind blew, and it was a little cold. Chen Mo called Shanghe and went out for a walk. I had to get some meat, and after three days of fruit, I had eaten enough.

Luckily, I met a rabbit when I went out and turned left, it seemed to be the rabbit who mocked Chen Mo before, and it seemed to be the rabbit's own brother, anyway, they all looked about the same, Chen Mo already hated this cute animal.

Whoosh, a bone spear flew out next to Chen Mo, and then the rabbit was condemned to death on the ground. He Fei ran over to pick up the rabbit and handed it to Chen Mo like a treasure.

Chen Mo grabbed the rabbit's ears, walked into the cave, threw it next to the fire, and added some firewood by the way.

He was a very experienced hunter in the jungle, and he was also a hunter with very high hunting skills, and Chen Mo was very glad to have rescued him ashore at that time.

Walking through the jungle to the basin, this time Chen Mo had a heart, snakes were hidden everywhere, and the last time the krait almost killed him. There is only one life, and we must care more about it.

The wet air smelled very uncomfortable. Chen Mo really wants to take a hot shower now, and then turn on the computer to watch a movie Tokyo is hot.

The rain has stopped, and there are many animals that come out to breathe, especially in the basin, where the river has killed three or four fat rabbits through superb hunting experience. Chen Moti was very tired and happy in his hands.

Although the rabbit is small, but the fur is a good thing, it can be covered for heating in winter, and he and the river can spend the winter very comfortably, provided that there are no accidents and there are relatively rich reserve rations.

It is impossible to eat only meat, after all, thousands of years of experience have taught Chen Mo that farming is the ladder for the tribe to develop human progress.

Chen Mo really wanted to find a crop that could be planted, even if it was only one, it could become a patch in a few years.

Inadvertently seeing the river chewing a branch, Chen Mo felt as if he had achieved great luck, this is ...... Sorghum straw?

And the river throws the ears of sorghum aside, where it happily chews the sorghum stalks. Chen Mo really wanted to strangle this loser child.

He saw that Chen Mo was staring at him, so he handed the half-gnawed sorghum stalk in his hand to Chen Mo: "Mo, eat! Eat!"

Chen Mo didn't take it, and bent down to look for the sorghum ears underground. It's a good thing, a good thing that no amount of rabbits will change.

Chen Mo took the sorghum ears and asked Hehe: "Where did you pick this sorghum from, take me there!"

He understood what Chen Mo meant, and pointed to the side: "Ah, ah!" Chen Mo knew what he meant. Looking at his hand, there was only half a stalk of sorghum.

Chen Mo said to He: "He, look for this, this is sorghum! Find me and give you barbecue meat to eat!" Although primitive people can use fire, but barbecued meat is inexperienced, paste meat is the most common, unlike Chen Mo, the roasted meat is golden and delicious, although there is no salt and seasoning. But for primitive people who ate raw and burnt meat, this is the delicacy!

He swallowed and said, "Meat, eat!" and then looked carefully for the surrounding grass, but remembered that the sorghum stalks were tall, and then craned his feet to look around.

Today, Chen Mo was lucky to find a total of three sorghum plants in the vast basin. Sorghum is not only drought resistant, but also waterlogging-resistant, making it a high-yielding crop!

Chen Mo really wanted to hug the river and kiss him a few times. But I was afraid that he would follow him and become a relative at every turn, so I dispelled this idea.

Holding three sorghum ears and a handful of sorghum grains scattered on the ground, Chen Mo jumped back and forth. He wanted to follow along, but he always threw off the rabbit he was carrying, so he gave up.
