Chapter 180: Where there is fire, there is light
The next day, the people woke up, opened their eyes, and sure enough, the sky was bright and the light was back.
The cave began to be lively, and the chiefs woke everyone up and began to arrange for the hands to pick the fruit.
Zhao Tian thought about it, divided a few women, went to sort out the grass leaves that he cut yesterday, and continued to do the work of cutting grass leaves.
Then he took the other clansmen and began to go up the mountain to pick fruits, and as soon as he got out of the cave, he heard the call of Gao Ge in his ears: "Zhao Tian, you come here." ”
Zhao Tian hurriedly stopped and said to the people: "The ancestor summoned me, you go to pick the fruit by yourself, don't be lazy." Everyone nodded yes, watching Zhao Tian run towards the ancestor's hill, and then they went up the mountain to pick fruits.
Zhao Tian ran to the side of the hill and saw that the ancestor was slowly walking to the side, so he hurriedly followed, and said loudly: "Ancestor, I'm here." ”
Gao Ge nodded, found some dead vines at the foot of the mountain, and said, "You look, find some strong and dead vines, or cut some and dry them, you can make rattan baskets." ”
Deal with a few large withered vines, tie them into several circles, and then clean up the small withered vines, weave them into one by one, and it didn't take long to weave them into a two-foot-sized basket, and put two rattan straps, try to let Zhao Tian carry them, nodded, and said: "That's it, the fruits picked in the future can be loaded in this rattan basket, and you can load a lot at a time, not to run back and forth." ”
Zhao Tian happily held the rattan on his shoulder, looked left and right, and said loudly: "The rattan basket is good, this is good!"
Gao Ge saw that there were still some wrist-thick branches on the side, and remembered that these people were still empty-handed, so he found a sharp stone, cut the branches, and made a four-foot wooden stick, and said: "In the future, everyone will prepare a wooden stick, and if something bad comes, hit it with a wooden stick." ”
Turning his head, he saw a small snake with a thick arm next to him, coiled up the snake's head, spit out the letter, and was threatening the two not to approach, Gao Singer waved, and the wooden stick smashed on the head of the little snake, smashing the little snake into the air, and then handed the wooden stick to Zhao Tian, Zhao Tian waved it a few times, and his mouth was so happy that his mouth cracked.
Returning to the Zhao tribe, Zhao Tian and the tribesmen talked about the benefits of these two wonderful things, and arranged for an adult to take a few teenagers to look for rattan of the right size, and another young man to take a few teenagers to look for a suitable size and hard wood to collect some hard stone chips.
The teaching images of Gao Ge and Zhao Tian still appeared in the minds of the leaders, and the leaders did the same.
This group of human races is smart-minded, quick with hands and feet, and they can do ordinary work at a glance.
In the afternoon of the same day, new rattan baskets appeared in the fruit-picking procession of the various tribes, and as for the sticks, almost one per person, which was hardly difficult, a teenager could make it at a glance.
Gao Ge unexpectedly saw that there was a young man, because he found a long tree trunk, and when the young man cut it with stone chips, he obviously thought about it, and then, instead of cutting the trunk from the middle like others, cutting it off to a length of about four feet, he kept the whole trunk, cut the trunk and the two ends, picked it up and waved it a few times, and it felt very smooth, and the human race had the first homemade long stick.
Gao Ge was very happy, this is a good phenomenon, and humanity is starting to think.
In the afternoon, Chen Yue came over and prayed: "Ancestor, the darkness in the night is too terrifying, please give us some light." ”
Gao Ge nodded, and found some rotten and cracked bark that showed fibers, and then found a dry piece of wood, two dry thin sticks of different sizes, and a pile of dry branches.
The dry branches crossed each other, leaving a fist-sized hole underneath.
Gao Ge made a hole in the wooden block with a small wooden strip, placed the wooden block on two stones, made a small gap, and stuffed the rotten and flammable bark under the small hole in the wooden block.
"Look at it!" Gao Ge commanded.
Pick up a large thin wooden stick, insert it into the small hole of the dry wood block, put your hands together, and quickly rub the wooden stick, the wooden stick rotates at high speed, and green smoke begins to come out of the small hole, and from time to time there are small sparks falling from the small hole to the bark fiber under the wooden block.
Seeing that the bark began to emit green smoke, Gao Ge carefully took out the bark and blew lightly, more green smoke came out of the bark, Gao Ge blew again, and an orange flame rose from the bark.
Gao Ge smiled, carefully fiddled with the bark to make the flame burn more brightly, stuffed the bark into the hole under the pile of branches, and broke some small branches, and gently put them on the bark.
In just a few moments, the branches were ignited by the bark and began to burn, and a fire appeared.
Gao Ge used this method to make fire tens of millions of years ago, but at that time, the wooden block was drilled through, and there was no trace of spark in the wooden block, and at that time, Gao Ge knew that the rules of heaven and earth at that time did not support this operation, so he could only continue to eat fresh and warm spiritual meat.
Chen Yue was full of joy, thanked the ancestor, ran back quickly, learned the method of singing, and did exactly the same thing, and a new fire appeared again.
Tonight, the tribe has its own light.
Chen Yue was very excited, found a girl to come over, and said, "Look at this fire, add some branches into it from time to time, don't let it go out." ”
Then, one more piece of human work was added, and four teenagers were sent out to collect dry wood and supply it for the tribal flames.
The other nine chiefs did the same, and that night, in the great cave of each tribe, the flames were burning, and the people laughed loudly around the fire, discussing how miraculous the light given by the ancestors was, and the endless power, which could not be blasphemed, and reached in, and the divine fire would punish the hand and make the hand feel pain.
Where there is fire, there is light, and the flame has infinite power, which is the best weapon for human beings to fight against the night.
Even if there is a fire, the light provided to the tribe's big hole is actually extremely dim, but three hundred people walk around and play in the big dark hole, and there is no panic of yesterday.
Chen Yue asked people to spread the grass leaves dried during the day on the ground, and the boys and girls lay on them, no longer feeling the coldness of the ground, the fire swayed, the figures swayed, and the boys and girls felt very stable in their hearts, and soon fell asleep.
The adults also slowly lowered their voices, and it didn't take long for them to fall asleep with each other in their arms.
Chen Yue leaned on her partner's side, quietly watching all this, slowly recalling everything she had seen in the past two days.
My heart is full of beautiful yearning for the future!
For the Terrans of the present, they have no past, only the present, and a yearning for the future.
The human race is not a congenital race of the wilderness, after birth, there is no trace of inheritance memory, all things must be seen, learned, imitated, and practiced by themselves, and all kinds of abilities will be mastered.
Human beings can only progress if they continue to learn!
Human beings can only progress if they continue to practice!
Human beings can only progress if they keep thinking!
Chen Yue saw the girl guarding the flame, she couldn't stop sleeping, stood up gently, walked over, and said softly: "Xiaohuo, you go to sleep, and I will guard the flame below." ”
Xiaohuo, a girl who was only named during the day, saw that it was the leader who came over, and she really couldn't stand it, so she nodded and said: "Leader, I'll sleep for a while, you wake me up later, and I'll guard the flame." ”
Chen Yue smiled: "The flame of the tribe needs to be guarded by everyone, and one person can't protect it, only if everyone works together, our tribe will get better and better." ”
Xiaohuo couldn't understand, touched his head, walked to the place where the boy and girl were sleeping, and fell asleep on the ground.
