Chapter 23: The Strange Tribe

Finally, to the excitement of all seven people in the aircraft, more giants came back from collecting wild fruits, and they talked to each other.

However, this batch of collected ones was different from those who went hunting and stayed at home, and they were actually covered with animal skins, and everything that should be covered was covered, and everything that should be blocked was blocked, like clothes.

A few children who were relatively short and looked to be children of this giant tribe ran over happily when they saw the few giantesses left behind handling the two frogs of several hundred pounds.

One of the smaller ones also tried to reach the frog meat in the clay pot with his hands.

"Eat meat, have meat to eat!"

One of the giantesses, who was handling the frogs, roared.

"Get out of here!"

They were using stone knives to divide the frogs, cut them into small pieces and put them in three-legged clay pots, and they were very irritated to see these children making trouble.

The dozen or so adult giants and all the little ones who had just come in all looked at this side.

An older-looking female giant snorted with a frown.

"The axe is a clever breed that you brought back with outsiders, do you think it's a fool born of a close relative in the clan?

A smart person should be the leader of the next generation, and he should be born as noble as the dragon king in the lake, pay attention to your attitude!

Also, how many times have you said that you have to put on your clothes even when you're in a cave!

You're a human, not a brute! ”

What shocked people was what the female giant leader said, it was clear that they had a certain culture and a certain etiquette.

What's more, these giants use Mandarin, and they really use Mandarin.

Although the other giants whispered about the matter, the seven people in the aircraft didn't even hear it clearly, but the children's words, the giantess who split the frog scolded, and the old female giant scolded the female giant who split the frog.

They could all understand it, Chen Qiao and they looked at each other, and the words spoken by these giants were all Mandarin accents.

And it's a very normal communication, and it's no different from talking to your own people, except that the tone is a little weird.

Yuan Hong suddenly spoke: "This old female giant is obviously the leader.

From what she said, it can be seen that she knows a lot, and it is obvious that they have a certain moral concept and knowledge.

From the old female giant's statement that the female giant who cut the frog meat was born of a fool with a close relative, it can be inferred that they also know that inbreeding may give birth to stupid people or genetically defective people, who are abnormal people anyway.

They have this knowledge! ”

Poplar raised a question.

"Why do they still use such ancient and primitive tools when they have this knowledge?

Javelins, as well as stone knives and stone axes, which should not be a sapient race that can communicate in Mandarin, should be used as a backward tool.

Moreover, it is not just possible to communicate in Mandarin, listening to what the old female leader said, it can be seen that the knowledge mastered by the old female leader is still a systematic knowledge of logic and civilization.

Such a race, the tools used, should not be so backward!

It stands to reason that races or tribes with such common sense and such ethical concepts and knowledge should have used such things as iron tools. ”

"That's right, in fact, in our ancient times, the first thing that restricted the development of human beings was language, and the second was writing.

Before the nuclear war, the ancient human ancestors of our group of people only mastered a few complex syllables at the beginning, and even the words were only 8 at the beginning.

Gossip! In fact, it is 8 words, landscape, thunder, heaven and earth, and fire.

At that time, people were limited by the lack of knowledge, and it was difficult to invent things, and it was difficult to accumulate and pass them on and carry them forward.

So the tools at that time were very rudimentary, and the civilized writing and language that guided people from simple syllables to complex ones could represent more things.

The weapons that have been developed by mankind are becoming more and more comprehensive and advanced, because they can communicate, they can learn from each other, they can record, and they can improve and progress.

Like the giant tribe in front of them, they already have the ability to communicate fluently, in polysyllabic languages, and even in sentences like us.

It shouldn't be the only way to do it!

It's puzzling! It was Yuan Hong who said this.

In addition, others have other opinions.

Liu Qingqing, she looked at the way the giants dealt with frogs, and also said:

"It can be seen from the methods and attitudes of the giants to make food that they don't pay that much attention to the taste of food.

They don't even put salt.

Could it be that they don't even have salt?

Yes, I suspect they don't have salt!

Otherwise, how could you not put salt? ”

Liu Qingqing's understanding of the element list of food and human nutritional intake is that a race that does not know how to use salt and does not know how to consume salt will not survive...... There is no long-term possibility.

Wild beasts can draw salt from the blood of their prey, and may lick salt from salt mines like goats, but it is impossible not to take any salt at all.

It doesn't make sense.

No organism can survive well without salt, let alone thrive.

If the giants in front of them are all hairy and blood-drinking, it can also explain that their salt intake comes from the blood of their prey.

But it is clear that these giants have learned to use fire and pots to make cooked food, and have lost their ability to extract salt from the blood.

So these giants don't suck the blood of their prey, which proves that they don't have this habit.

If they don't have this habit, it means that they have another way to replenish salt, but now this way may be broken.

So, she concludes that this tribe of giants may lack the necessary materials to survive.

In one word, poor.

Li Qian pointed to the pustules on the giants' bodies, as well as the images of living creatures wriggling inside the pustules, and said: "The medical conditions of these giants are very poor, and they have a lot of parasitic things like fruit fly larvae.

But they don't have the ability to treat, or they don't have the idea of it.

Perhaps they can only carry the larvae of the fruit fly until they mature and leave their bodies, and then scatter the larvae on them the next time they reproduce.

Obviously, it can be seen that they are weak in their ability to cope with illness and other accidents.

It's a small tribe that could be wiped out at any moment, and I think there may be a larger tribe that is even stronger than this one, with more people. ”

"I agree with that!" Poplar picked up another sentence.

"It can be seen from the environment in which they live that they also do not have the conditions to produce three-legged clay pots.

The clay pots, and the clay pots they used to draw water, made it clear that the fire alone could not make these pots.

This is a big project, you need to find the soil that can make clay pots, someone needs to be shaped, someone needs to know how to dry, and someone knows how to burn the kiln to see the fire.

Then, someone also needs to know when to open the kiln, when to heat treat, how long to treat, and when to open the kiln completely.

These are all crucial, otherwise they will not burn usable pottery, but soft and bad billets that can be broken at any time.

Just like glass, the glass fired by someone is very brittle and crispy, and the glass fired by someone cannot be broken with a hammer.

In addition to the proportional ingredients, there is actually heat!

It takes experience, as well as knowledge!

Obviously, the giant tribe in front of them did not have such knowledge and experience.

Based on their conversations so far, we can completely deduce that their few hunting giants who are not good at talking are likely to be imbeciles and unable to communicate!

But it can't be said that they are imbeciles, because they can hunt, but after returning from hunting, they don't say a word, and that state feels no different from imbecile!

So this is a strange tribe of giants, and the most important thing is that if the old female leader is matched, he is born with a smart person to be the leader.

From this, it can be inferred that few of these people are normal! ”

Poplar's words were heavy.

This is like the environment that a race that is struggling to survive in the last days should encounter, this is a small race.

It may be that they lack communication with other ethnic groups, or they cannot find other ethnic groups at all, and then they can only reproduce with close relatives of their own ethnic groups.

The consequences of inbreeding are obvious, 99 out of 100 babies may be defective genes, born with physical defects, born stupid, born with disabilities, and so on.

This is the miserable situation of this small tribe of giants in front of them, but the 7 people in the aircraft also know that if these 7 people don't find another group suitable for them to marry before their 2nd and 3rd generations grow up, they will also fall into such a situation.

Chen Qiao raised his head and said to his six team members: "They are people, they speak Mandarin, they can communicate."

So my idea was to talk to them first, to find out how they were going to other people, people like me.

Let's see if we can exchange some information peacefully. ”
