"Look at me!"

"Hah! Give it to me! ”

"This time it must be ......!"

I don't know which celebrity has said such a sentence, "When God opens a door for you, it will also close a window", while Lyle's creativity is far beyond ordinary people, his combat effectiveness is so weak that it is heartbreaking, and he invented the spear thrower and sling, but he is the worst one.

It's not that he's weak, but since he was a child, he digs soil, moves stones, cuts trees and builds houses, and his physical training is very strong, but some things are about practical skills, and the growth of technology depends on practice, but the upper limit of technology is limited by talent, and if the talent is bad, you can't practice well.

As a primitive man, it is a very shameful thing to not count the fish in the river with stones, bully small animals such as frogs, and mend the prey that has been put down by the tribe at close range, and never play a role in hunting so far.

This is actually a common ethnic culture, primitive people will not summarize the concise words "those who do not work do not eat", but the actual implementation is almost the same thing...... Although public ownership is practiced here, there is a fundamental difference between poor public ownership and rich public ownership, and bullying occurs even among relatives.

Of course, no one in the clan would think that Lyle had contributed enough, and that Lyle's invention had changed their way of life. But from his own standpoint, Lyle really wants to make a profit in the bloody hunt.

"Lyle, it's time for you to rest." Ami came out of the cave and called out to Lyle, who was practicing spear throwing in the snow.

"Ah, got it." After another fruitless day of training, Lyle frustrated as he went to retrieve the spear.

Other men in this era are ready to eat and drink at a specific time, and go to other ethnic groups to exert their strength, and the relationship between spouses is extremely weak, but because Ami is one of Lyle's admirers, Lyle also thinks that Ami is the most beautiful woman in the ethnic group (primitive aesthetics), and the two have a little warmth and interaction when they get along, but they are not too intimate.

"Isn't it time to think of a hunting tool that is easier to aim?" With the idea that it didn't look like a primitive man at all, Lyle returned to the entrance of the cave, pushed open the small barrier for access that was diagonally placed under the windshield outside the entrance, and walked into the cave.

The cave was much warmer because of the campfire, but it was still much less warm than the field hut with a fireplace that Lyle had built...... Unfortunately, the safety conditions are not as good as the cave, and no animal cubs have been caught recently, so they can only be temporarily vacant.

Lyle separated the thrower from the spear, walked over to the stove he had set up years ago, scooped a bowl of broth from a large clay pot with a bowl, and sat down on his own haystack and drank it slowly.

Although according to the taste of modern people, the 'broth' of boiling meat pieces and bones in clear water almost fades out of the bird, and there is still a slight fishy smell, but primitive people do not have such high requirements, one is a little nutritious, and the other can drive away the cold, which is completely enough.

After drinking the broth, his body warmed up, and Lyle put the pottery bowl back on the edge of the stove, more like the leader who was leading his people out hunting, idly patrolling the cave.

Sufficient food reserves: The appearance of fish cages, slings, and spear throwers has led to an increase in the amount of food obtained, and smoked dried fish and dried meat have been deliberately made before the winter, and the reserves are very sufficient, and no one will definitely be hungry to survive this winter.

Sufficient firewood reserves: At Lyle's request, there was a special place to put timber, which was originally used by Lyle for construction, but was converted into a firewood rack in winter.

The people are doing their job: Lyle is only responsible for the invention, the production is done by the tribesmen after the trial production is completed, and now everyone has something to do in the winter, even the children are helping to tear the bark fibers and rub the rope.

- Snowflakes are falling outside, but the cave is full of vitality, and it is a relaxing winter.

"Uh-huh~ Tell the leader, there's no need to go out hunting, right?" Unlike the elders, who cherished every opportunity they could to hunt according to their old habits, Lyle thought that it was time to cancel the winter hunt with a high probability of personnel loss, and nibble on dried fish and dried meat to cope with the past.

However, it is just a matter of putting forward opinions, and it is up to the leader to accept it or not.

Even if he grows up from a bear child to a young man, even if he has a transcendent status in the group, even if the probability of success is extremely high, Lyle does not breed half of his ambition, and his personality makes it.

“…… Not? Lyle sat back in his haystack with a twig, and before he was in the mood to figure out his new weapon, there was a rare noise of people outside the cave.

————————————————————————————————

Winter came very early this year.

Lyle didn't realize this, and the other people probably realized but didn't care too much, as Lyle said to himself before, they already had enough food to survive the winter, and it was not necessary to continue hunting just to make their lives better.

However, this premature winter was a disaster for the other tribes, who had insufficient food reserves and starved when the harvest of hunting and fishing was frequent.

Obviously, the leaders of these groups may say, "Bear with me, let's go out hunting tomorrow", but they will never say "I have no choice, let's starve to death together". In order to keep themselves alive, they can only change their past lifestyle and choose to let others die!

Go to a neighboring tribe that has maintained a marriage relationship with one's own people, and may even have the same ancestor several generations ago, and forcibly 'borrow' some food, if others do not have food, then they can only be cannibals, and at most they will not eat the children left by their male tribesmen.

Lyle's people are not so unlucky, they just happened to meet such unscrupulous neighbors who want to survive, and if there are really neighbors who ask for them, they can really borrow a little food for others to deal with emergencies, and others will not take that step when they get food.

But one of their neighbors was not so lucky, and the group was attacked by a neighbor who was in the opposite direction from Lyle's, and after a round of fighting, less than half of them escaped from the cave.

Escape is escape, but it's cold and snowy outside, how can you survive? In desperation, they thought of their wealthy neighbors, and came to beg for them with the last glimmer of hope—

"Lyle, do you want to take them in?" The hesitant leader asks the wise men of the clan.

Lyle muttered, "Save some food, the food should be enough...... I think it should be accepted. ”

However, the food supply after that...... "There is a limit to the number of people that can be fed on a piece of land, especially since the cultivation and breeding industry has not yet developed, and it will not let the number of young and strong people in the tribe increase with it, so that the prey on the territory will also increase, which is the main point of the chief's hesitation."

Even if they are making people crazy, as if they are beating themselves up, but they are their own people, and this group is an outsider, and the nature is completely different.

"Then expand the range of activities, chief, although the house on the edge of the field is not as safe as the cave, it can barely be used." Lyle immediately remembered the usefulness of the house he had worked so hard to build for months, but was eventually put on hold, "and...... There is such a group next to us, and it may be a bit dangerous to run out of people. ”

Infighting between different groups of the same species is not the preserve of modern people.
