Chapter 6: Slavery and Shennong

Throwing spears with a spear is definitely longer than throwing a spear with your hands, and throwing a sling is definitely more powerful than throwing stones with your hands, but the amount of improvement is limited, so don't expect too much from their effective range and rate of fire. Theoretically, as long as the enemy is reckless enough to charge with the consciousness of paying a certain amount of casualties, he can return to white-knuckle combat where the disadvantage is not obvious.

However, for primitive people who do not have the concept of 'military discipline', this requirement is really too high, they can only fight with the wind, once they are in a headwind, they will easily scatter and flee. White-knuckle combat turns into a pursuit battle, and although there will still be short-handed combat in the end, it is generally the ones who are beaten by several people and those who flee slowly, and those who let go and flee quickly, which is not the same thing at all.

The final victory and defeat are self-evident -

"See! My strength! Lyle, who had pierced his enemy, thumped his chest and shouted.

"............" Ah Stupid, who was helping to block the enemy's spear on the left, and Ah Zhuang, who was piercing the enemy's thigh with a spear in the back, were secretly relieved, and finally completed the leader's order and protected Lyle, who was obviously not good at fighting but liked to rush forward.

"But," Lyle muttered as he returned to his normal form as his blood cooled, "and they lost a little too quickly...... If the same situation happens to us......"

I couldn't help but shudder.

In the lack of military discipline, Lyle's ethnic group is the same, the standard of living has improved a little more cohesively, whether they are married or married, they can puff up their chests to express their pride in their ethnic group, but that is 108,000 miles away from 'military discipline'. Like this cannibal group, they can only fight against the wind, not against the wind.

Stupid didn't have such a complicated idea, he only knew that his race had won, and proposed, "Lyle, let's go back and join everyone first, shall we?" ”

Worry is worry, Lyle can't think of any solution, in the reality that he has to go to great lengths to get food, the idea of 'training' will not appear at all, so he can only let go of his worries: "Ah, go back." ”

Although the meeting place was not specified in advance, everyone defaulted to gathering in front of the cave of the cannibal group, and the three of Lyle came back relatively late.

Not all the cannibals chose to fight back after being caught up, some lay on the ground on the spot and begged for mercy, and not all the pursuers were resentful avengers, and some of their subordinates were merciful and escorted back first. These captured young men, together with the old, weak, sick and disabled who had been hiding in the cave, sat in front of the cave and were watched by a group of young men armed with spears.

The leader and the representatives of the new members are deliberating on how to deal with the group of captives, and the current trend is to [all be executed], first, they do not want to let the tiger return to the mountain, second, they do not want to raise tigers, and third, they do not want to waste food to feed idlers.

"Chief, give me a ...... No, three people, I'm useful. Lyle walked over and asked.

"Huh?" As long as it is Lyle's request, no matter how strange it is, it will be satisfied, this is the habit of the leader for many years, but he still has to inquire about it, and if he understands it, he will say, "There are a lot of people in our race now, can't you just find three of them to help?" ”

"There are some things that can't be helped by the clansmen~" Lyle replied with a smile.

There is one thing he has wanted to do for a long time, but he has never had a suitable helper, and he can't miss this precious opportunity.

The leader nodded and didn't ask any further, but Lyle's request made her can't help but take advantage of the situation to ask for advice: "Lyle, what do you think should be done with these people?" ”

"Take it back." Lyle replied casually, "I think it's good to let them help us build a house~"

The representative of the new members hurriedly warned: "They are man-eating monsters, it is too dangerous to stay around!" ”

"Break one of their legs, even if they are healed, they can't run fast, tie them around their necks with ropes, and send men to hold the overseers with weapons, and ...... Forget the hands, their hands have to work. "Lyle didn't intend to treat these captives as people, and the way they were disposed of was ruthless.

Hearing the way the captives were treated, the expressions of the representatives of the new members who had a blood feud with the cannibal group softened, "What about the food?" ”

The common word "food~" somehow made a weird smile appear on Lyle's face, and it took a while for the weird smile to disappear, returning to the answer to the question, "If we have surplus food, it's okay to give them food, if not...... Just leave it alone? ”

All evils of slavery were born from this.

"Stupid! Bring those guys here! Lyell, who had run into the cave with a rattan basket on his back, shouted excitedly.

"Oh......" replied, but Dumb still ran over to peek at what was inside the rattan basket, "Wow, can you eat this kind of thing?" ”

I saw two river crabs and a handful of freshwater shells in the rattan basket, these two things Fool has seen many times, but he has never put them in the food list.

"So you want to try, why don't you go soon?" After sending Dumb away, Lyle called Ami to help, washed the contents of the rattan basket, threw half of it into a clay pot to soak in water, and put half of it on a thin stone sheet and set it on a fire to roast.

Since the cave was some distance from the 'village under construction', by the time Dumb returned with the three slaves, the things had already been cooked and cooled.

Before anything could be served, the three slaves had already looked frightened, and their bodies could not help but tremble.

Cause?

Yesterday there was a man who ate a poisonous fruit, and his body spasmed and he died violently; Four days ago there was a man who ate a colorful worm with black hair, but he didn't die, and his tongue was swollen; Seven days ago, the three of them ate the leaves, roots, and fruits of a certain plant, and vomited and diarrhea together for a day.

Although the people of this group beat and scolded them, as long as they work hard and eat and drink, they can still live. But the people who participated in Lyle's test didn't even know if they would die!

(Boom!) Boom! Lyle smashed the two crabs apart from the middle with the sharpest stone tool in the group, glanced at the white flesh inside, and then placed them on the two clay plates, and sent them to Ami, who was holding the freshwater shellfish that had already opened.

"You eat this barbecue, you eat boiled this, you eat small ones." Lyle smiled and arranged for the three slaves to eat something that could not be eaten together, otherwise they would all be poisoned and they would not know what kind of food they could not eat.

"............" Lyle is one of the few people who can smile at slaves, but in the eyes of these three slaves, this is the most evil and murderous guy, and his smile is a devil's smile!

Oh, of course, there is no concept of a 'demon' in this era.

“!” Dumb, who was called by Lyle, was not so good at talking in front of the slave, and swung his spear to draw the slave standing closest to him, and shouted angrily, "Eat! ”

There was no way, if they didn't eat, Ah Fool would not hesitate to stab his spear and take their lives, and the three slaves had to sit down and eat the food on the plate with shaking hands.

No matter how stupid primitive people are, they will not take the hard and tight river crab into their mouths and gnaw it, instinctively use their fingers to pick the snow-white meat inside the river crab, and they don't need Lyle's guidance to eat. Let's not talk about whether it is poisonous or not, the taste is acceptable, and they will go out and speed up their eating.

"Look at them like this...... Seems to taste good? Dumb swallowed unconsciously.

Lyle smiled: "Now, they still haven't eaten half of their plates, if you're not afraid of death, you can eat it now." ”

"Uh......" Fool recalled the slave who was poisoned yesterday and lost his appetite all of a sudden, "No, I'd better see the results tomorrow first." ”

In this world, there is no Shennong who tastes a hundred herbs, only a Lyle who lets slaves taste a hundred herbs.

The first person in this world to eat crabs was not a warrior, just a helpless slave.

Of course, given the distortion of the message, Lyle's deeds may become ancient myths in later generations, and these slaves will certainly not appear again.
