All people are born curious about the world.

As we grow older, acquire common sense, and are constrained by reality, this curiosity is rapidly diminishing. Once a person has the idea that learning this content will help me, it can be considered that he has seen the way forward in life, and he can also think that his path has narrowed.

Even Lyle is no exception, he no longer does stupid things like "covering his head in a clay pot and yelling", but he also doesn't wonder about the normal phenomenon of "his voice sounds different when he speaks in a clay pot", and then misses the entrance to the mysteries of the world.

- Taking Ami's pregnancy as an opportunity, Lyle, who recalls the interesting stories of his childhood, suddenly realizes this change in himself.

Think about it seriously.

When I was a child, I invented drilling wood to make fire, and recently I improved a set of simple fire-making tools that only need to pull two ropes to make wooden sticks rotate;

When I was a child, I invented pottery, and recently I have perfected the pottery process to improve the yield of pottery.

When I was a child, I invented the fish cage, but recently I only came up with a non-technical weapon that uses the elasticity of wood to catapult sharpened sticks.

When I was a child, I built a hut, and recently I directed a bunch of huts for slaves.

Although the songs of the people are still pleasing to the ear, what they have made is far less groundbreaking than when they were children, either improved or applied in a different way.

Finally...... When did it change?

Can you go back to the way you were when you were a child?

"Speaking of which, my first thought as a kid was ......," Lyle remembered something very important.

"Lyle?" Ami, who had a slightly bulging belly but still came to be the head of the fire army in the village under construction, finally found Lyle standing by the lake in a daze, "Is there anything in the lake?" ”

"No, nothing." Lyle turned around, looked beyond Ami, looked at the village under construction, and said in a subtle tone, "Ami, after the village is built, we don't need to live anywhere else. ”

Ami smiled when she heard this: "Plenty of food, tall walls, strong houses, all of which are your credit." ”

Perhaps future generations will take this for granted, but now this group of people have survived hard times, and their gratitude to Lyle is not half a drop of water.

“…… Yes, it's all my 'credit'. Lyle turned back again, his gaze on the calm surface of the lake, missing the proud smile that should have been on his face.

As a child, my dream was to get out of the cave and explore the outside world.

Now that I have built a safe home with my own hands, I have lost the courage and reason to explore.

——————————————————————————————

By sacrificing slaves, Lyle figured out what was edible, what was not, what was good and what was not.

Of course, 'not to eat' and 'not to taste' does not mean 'not to be used', and it may not be used more than ordinary food, for example, it has medicinal properties...... But Lyle was just a slightly smarter primitive, and he couldn't see and taste everything and know everything, and there were things that needed countless people to try out in the form of blind people touching elephants, and he wouldn't know until he died.

But in the short term, it's enough to know what 'can be eaten' and what is 'delicious'. Although the main source of food for the tribe is still beasts + fish + wild fruits, the addition of these foods that have been ignored by them in the past is enough to feed the group of slaves.

The food crisis was solved, and the remaining problem was to make full use of the labor of the slaves to build a new homeland. On the one hand, relying on water is more reliable than relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and on the other hand, he has selected a variety of edible plants, and intends to vigorously develop agriculture, and sufficient water is necessary.

The village he built was divided into three areas by two walls, the innermost of which was inhabited by the clansmen, the middle of the two walls by slaves, and the outermost part of which was used for farming as much as possible, apparently designed to prevent slave rebellions; There is a cistern in the village, and an aqueduct extends directly into the lake, reducing the number of times water enters and leaves the village for domestic use; The houses where the clansmen lived had fireplaces with floor kang tiles, and the houses where slaves lived were simple.

When the house was built, the community officially moved in, but there was still a lot of follow-up work. For example, the wall is heightened and thickened, so that the people inside can stand on it and condescend to meet the foreign enemy; For example, a pit was dug deep outside the outer wall, and sharp wooden sticks were inserted in the pit; For example, the wooden fence at the entrance and exit of the two walls was rebuilt to make it extremely strong and difficult for the enemy to break through.

Given that this group was formed by two wars, all of them put safety first, raising their hands in support of these already oversized fortifications, and it was the slaves who actually did it, not them...... It's just that Lyle is also mentally prepared for these fortifications to be purely busy.

How confident are those who have a marriage relationship with them to choose to attack this village full of fortifications, not to mention that in other aspects, they also have an absolute advantage! They did not move for fear of becoming slaves, which is already commendable.

The distant races, no matter how well they develop, no matter how aggressive they are, if they want to attack this group, they must first know the existence of this group, and then accurately locate the march in the barren mountains and mountains.

- The days of peace have lasted for many years.

"Huh? Let me be the leader? "The leader will grow old one day, and after a sudden illness that has taken half of her life, she decides to abdicate in favor of Xian.

There are no other candidates.

If someone of Lyle's stature were to be replaced by a daughter or granddaughter, there was a real chance that someone else would execute or exile her, the old chief.

But

"Let someone else be the leader, I'm not good at leading hunting, and I don't like to manage people." Lyle had no interest in the position, recalling his childhood dream and knowing what he wanted, "I'd rather play with mud and wood than be a leader." ”

"This ......" the old chief's mind came alive, and his eyes swept to his daughter.

But before she could speak, Ah Stupid next to her had already spoken: "Lyle, you are the smartest, even if you don't want to be the leader, tell us who is suitable to be the leader." ”

"yes, yes." Others chimed in.

As long as it is the person specified by Lyle, even if it is a slave, they will admit it!

Lyle hesitated for a long time before he said the answer that might lead to a bad outcome: "If I had to choose, I would choose Cuong." ”

"Huh? I? Cuong pointed at himself in surprise.

"I know that many of you want to attack other races and capture slaves, and I have neither agree nor object to this." In fact, there are some objections, after all, Lyle is a man with no ambitions, but his identity is too special to express his position, and the affairs of the clan are decided by all the members of the clan, "If you really plan to cause a war, then let Ah Qiang, who is the most prominent in hunting, be the leader, if you say that you don't want to fight at all, then everyone is about the same leader, it is better to let Ami be the leader, and the fish she grills will not be burned." ”

Lyle foresaw the choice of the crowd.

The future is destined to be bloody.
