Chapter 14: The River of Intellectual Evolution
He was very interested in the tweet on Chen Mo's shoulder, and always wanted to grab it and pluck it, but when he saw Chen Mo's unkind eyes, he gave up again.
Chen Mo is very happy today, the tiger master can go out to hunt for food, early in the morning, the tiger master dragged a roe deer back and put it in front of Chen Mo, meaning: "This king is hungry and wants to eat cooked food, quickly roast some meat with salt for this king to eat." ”
Jiu Jiu is not very afraid of the saber-toothed tiger, so he jumps at the saber-toothed tiger's feet and pecks at the saber-toothed tiger's claws with his mouth.
The saber-toothed tiger was also very interested in the small creatures on the ground, lowered his head and sniffed, then opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue and licked the little chirp. Chen Mo was startled, thinking that Hu Ye wanted to eat some appetizing dessert.
Chirped a few times, waved his wings and wanted to fly, Chen Mo took a look at it last night, Jiu Jiu's wings should have been dislocated by the river, and theoretically they could be connected, and after studying for a long time last night, there were bursts of chirping screams in the cave.
Chirp can flutter its wings today, but it can't fly.
Now that the navy tribe has a saber-toothed tiger, a little parrot, and a primitive man, plus Chen Mo, the prototype of the small tribe is built, Chen Mo wants to expand the population, so he will go to the river every day to squat for a while, hoping that another person will float along the river.
After squatting for a few days, I caught a lot of fish, but I haven't seen anyone who has drifted down again. But the river fell in love with the boiled fish. It's a pleasure to come and catch fish every day.
In the past few days, Chen Mo has found wild onions, a tree similar to toons, and a large bamboo forest.
Chen Mo wants to establish a tribe around the cave, so these things are indispensable materials for future development. There are so many uses for bamboo, bamboo shoots can be eaten, bamboo poles can be built, bamboo strips can be weaved, and weapons and traps can be made.
With toon, Chen Mo also wants to get some eggs and make toon scrambled eggs, although the toons are very old now, and the toons will grow buds next spring, so you can pick some of the pickled toons.
There are pheasants in the basin, and the pheasant's nest has not been found for a long time, and even if it is found, there may not be wild eggs, after all, pheasants are not domestic poultry, and they can lay eggs every day, so it is a difficult thing to encounter wild eggs in the wild.
He can now speak a lot, and there is no problem with simple communication, but a lot of time is spent thinking about how to answer, and now the counting is no longer separated, and he can count to a hundred in one breath.
The tribes before the river were not large, and the transactions with other tribes were all through barter, and the tribe closest to them had to walk for three days, and the tribe that attacked them last time was the only large tribe nearby, with more than a hundred warriors alone. Usually, the strength of the tribe is increased by plundering, and the surrounding small tribes are almost wiped out by them.
Chen Mo felt that the primitive society was full of all kinds of killing machines, and improving strength was the last word, if he didn't have the strength now, then he would do a good job of self-defense, and if others attacked him, if he really couldn't hide, then he could sell Meng Ju to seek respite, and then kill the rival tribal chieftain and be the boss himself!
The clay mine by the river is very large, and the stone salt mine reserves are also very rich, Chen Mo took advantage of the limited time to make a lot of necessary items, at least the pot he made now is more useful, and the soup in the clay pot last time was broken after cooking it twice.
The river church, Chen Mo will no longer do it, the tribal chief will do the work himself? It is all operated by the younger brother, although there are only two members of the big water army, Chen Mo began to do capitalism.
The absorption capacity of the river is very strong, and many things can be learned by looking at them a few times, and then practicing them with their own hands, and the things they make are much better than Chen Mo, and the mud pot used in the cave now is the best proof.
The river put on the caught fish and woke up Chen Mo, who was asleep: "Mo, let's go back." ”
Chen Mo rubbed his hazy eyes, looked at the position of the sun, and asked, "How many fish have you caught, has anyone floated down from the upstream?"
He bowed his head and counted: "Six fish, all very large." No one floated down. ”
Chen Mo sighed again: "No one has floated down today, the expansion of our tribe is a problem, just the two of us, if someone else calls, the two of us will be finished." ”
He hesitated: "We can attack other tribes and plunder women and villains." ”
Well, that's a good idea, two people with bone spears to rob a small tribe of a dozen warriors, I'm afraid they don't know how to die. With the current miniature tribe of the Navy, plundering is obviously impossible. Chen Mo felt a headache, but there was no way, who let himself not be like the protagonist in other novels, the soul wears, but the flesh.
Forget it, don't have a headache today, save it for tomorrow.
When He saw the lost Chen Mo, he wanted to say something, but finally held back.
Along the way, Chen Mo was thinking about what tools he could make now, and he was carrying a large bag of clay, carrying fish and salt and stone mines.
Chen Mo, who was walking in front, remembered that the river was following behind with something on his back, and looked back to see if the river had followed, and the river followed Chen Mo in the back, when Chen Mo turned around, the river smiled, Chen Mo couldn't bear to reach out and take over the salt ore ore, it was quite heavy, about more than thirty catties.
Back in the cave, Chen Mo set up a shelf to make a fire, and the river crushed the salt ore, picked out impurities, and filtered it with water. Chen Mo stood aside and pointed out the deficiencies of the river from time to time, now that Chen Mo has begun to let the river operate by himself, Chen Mo doesn't know what to do except barbecue, a bit like the river before, doing nothing.
The vines have been pierced enough, there is no problem to make a door, the cattail mat Chen Mo also made seven, it is very comfortable to lie on it, the salt is quickly boiled, the river pries it up and puts it in the jar next to it, most of the salt in the jar makes the river very excited, Chen Mo tried to make a fried wild vegetable yesterday, and the taste is okay.
At present, in the primitive society, he is empty-handed, and he can only have enough food and clothing by doing it himself, but now he has not found a plant that can be used as a sewing thread, Chen Mo can only surround the animal skin and tie it, and now that the weather is cold, Chen Mo does not want to be frozen out of the disease in winter with his bare arms.
During the meal, the river wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Mo saw the appearance of the river, and asked, "What's wrong, is there something uncomfortable?"
"Mo, our tribe, and there are other people, are hiding. The river struggled for a moment and spoke.
"Hmm, there are others, how many are there?" Chen Mo asked.
"I went out hunting with five warriors, and when we came back, the tribe was already extinct, and we went to take revenge, and Sang was killed, and we ran away. River clenched his fists and said sadly.
"What about the others, who also ran away?" asked Chen Mo as he ate the grilled fish.
"They found me the other day, while collecting branches in the jungle. He said cautiously, afraid that Chen Mo would be unhappy. Seeing that Chen Mo didn't react much, he continued: "My father is the chief, they all listen to me, I didn't let them come, I'm afraid you will be unhappy." ”
Chen Mo licked his fingers: "It's okay, the cave is big, you let them come!"
"I'll let them come tomorrow, thank you Mo!" said Ha happily.
