Chapter 1196: The simple primitive man

For the giants who were still in the primitive era, language and writing were of great significance, but what really affected the quality of life was the use of fire.

After all, even without that normative language, these giant natives are not completely incapable of communicating. Words are used for recording, and the recorded information is also for future generations to see, and it is difficult to reflect an important role in the improvement of current life.

However, the old man, whether intentionally or unintentionally, described the language and words obtained in this dream as a gift from the gods. In this way, even if the other natives do not see the importance of language and writing, they have to worry about the face of the gods.

In fact, Ye Zan's selection of the old man and the young man to pass on different knowledge to the two of them was not a random choice.

Let's talk about the old man first, he has basically lost his labor force in the ethnic group, and to put it mildly, he has little value. Note that this is a phenomenon formed by the influence of low productivity in this primitive society, and the vast number of virtuous people should not indiscriminately substitute it.

Therefore, in the hearts of the elderly, they hope that something can reflect their own value. Not to mention any lofty pursuits, at least after showing a certain value, he can get more food, and he doesn't have to sleep at the entrance of the cave in fear.

However, for an old man to embody something of value, it must not be a physical thing. If this old man can still have the same value as those in the prime of life in things that require physical strength, there is no need for Ye Zan to "worry" about them.

In addition, even the old people of the primitive era have the same habit as the old people of other eras, that is, they like to tell people about the things of the past. It is a nostalgia for one's past, a proof of one's existence, and a way to pass the time of boredom, an inevitable choice under the combination of internal and external needs.

To put it bluntly, the elderly often have a strong desire to express themselves, whether it is for the current people to talk about it, or to write it down for the people of the future. And Ye Zan, on his side, teaching the old man language and writing is equivalent to giving the old man the best tool for expression. In order to better express it, the old man must use his heart to popularize this language and writing, otherwise he only knows it, how can it be regarded as expression.

As for that young man, if Ye Zan gave the other party language and words, the other party might not be as attentive as the old man. The teenagers of the primitive era also have some minds and substances that all teenagers have, such as being curious about everything, such as loving to play and eating and so on.

Therefore, for the young one, Ye Zan gave the method of using fire, which is actually from the perspective of curiosity and appetite, so that the young man can be more attentive to the experience of this dream.

Now, the old man told everyone about his dream, and it really attracted everyone's attention. In addition, because he received the gift of the "gods", the old man became a priest-like being in order to be able to communicate with the "gods".

Not to mention that the old man was talking to everyone over there, the young man who had also gained knowledge in the dream realm had already come to the outside of the cave alone at this time.

The boy stood at the entrance of the cave, looking around from side to side, and soon found the kind of stone he had used in his dreams not far away.

If it is an education received in a waking state, the teenager may not pay attention to what kind of stone he uses to light the fire. He may have to try all kinds of stones, maybe he was lucky to try the right stone, maybe he was unlucky and gave up after a few bad times.

However, because the dream implanted all the accurate information into the memory of the teenager. The boy didn't have to think much at this time, he instinctively knew what kind of stone he should look for. Although he himself doesn't know why, he doesn't even think about "why".

The boy found the right stone, and found enough right dead grass, and he held a stone in each hand and struck it with a "snap".

Here, it is also important to note that the knowledge of using fire is imbued with it through dreams. Therefore, the teenager is not as clumsy as the beginner, and although it is actually the first time to actually make a fire, the action seems to have a thousand experiences. So, after only a few "pop" hits, the spark splashed smoothly on the dry grass.

As the green smoke rose, the flames also rose with a "crackling" sound. The young man put the two stones aside, and hurriedly brought firewood, which he was "experienced" and placed them on the dry grass pile one by one. When he saw that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and there was no possibility of extinguishing itself, the boy found stones and built a stove as he did in his dream.

And this time, when surrounding this stone stove, the young man also "moved" to improve the stove, leaving a stove for adding firewood underneath.

"What's going on? What are you doing?"

Suddenly, before the boy could go to find the slate, there was a surprised and even frightened questioning voice from the adults behind him.

After all, fire was a very dangerous force for these primitive people. They had seen the beasts being charred after the forest fires. Even though those roasted beasts seemed to taste stronger than the raw ones, they did not have the idea of touching the fire in life. In their minds, fire is also the power of the gods, and if a mortal touches it, it will attract the wrath of the gods.

The young man was startled at first, but when he turned around and saw the shocked faces on everyone's faces, he grinned again, pointed to the stove and said, "Fire, barbecue, delicious!"

If, this is the case, perhaps the final fate of the teenager is to be severely beaten by the adults and warned that he will never be allowed to play with fire in the future. However, just when the adults couldn't hold back and were really about to make a move, the old man, who had become the "priest" of the tribe, walked out separately.

"Fire, too, is a gift from the gods!" the old man said loudly to the crowd.

Yes, how could a child, who was usually a little skinny, but had never done anything excessive, suddenly do such a frightening thing? When everyone heard the old man's words, they immediately found a "reasonable" explanation for this series of irrationalities.

Looking at the young man who was too frightened to stand still, the leader of the tribe finally walked over, reached out and touched the top of the boy's head, and asked, "Then what next? Did the gods tell you how we should use this fire to roast food?" ”

The boy didn't know what gods were, what gifts he had, but when he saw that he wasn't beaten, he knew that what he was doing was allowed. He turned his head to look at the stove, and added some wood from the bottom of the stove to rekindle the fire inside, and then said to the chief, "I want a stone, flat, preferably thin, to cover it." ”

So, the stones that met the requirements were soon found by the adults, and the boy chose the most suitable one among them, and put it on top of the furnace where the flames were bursting out.

It didn't take long for the slate, as experienced in a dream, to become very hot under the licking of the flames.

"Meat, put it on top, turn it over again, and it will be delicious!" said the young man to the chief.

However, the prey that I hunted yesterday has already been shared by everyone, so where can I find the prey now?

Just when these giants and natives were struggling for their prey, an animal similar to a goat suddenly broke in. Although the goat's size is not small, it is only a herbivore after all, and it still belongs to the bottom of the food chain of this world.

The appearance of the goat was, of course, the hands and feet of Ye Zan and others. In order for these giants and natives to understand the importance of fire, of course, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot and let them feel the benefits. So, Ye Zan used a little trick to drive such a goat to the eyes of the natives.

After the goats broke in, they did not directly "tie their hands", but immediately turned around and tried to escape from this dangerous place as soon as they saw the natives. However, how could those giant natives who were worried about roasting something to watch the prey sent to the door run away.

So, several giants, who were in charge of hunting every day, almost instinctively chased after the goats. It wasn't long before they came out of the woods, and the goat was carried by one of them on his shoulder. They didn't even wonder why the goats were here, and why they were so easily caught by themselves and others.

Although the size of that goat is quite huge compared to "normal", it is only a sheep in front of this group of giants. In other words, such a huge goat is actually not enough to fill the stomach of so many giants in the tribe.

However, after all, it is to try to use fire, and it is not necessary to really feed everyone, just taste the taste of slate barbecue.

Although they are "primitive people", with the life experience they have accumulated in their daily lives, they also know that there must be a special place for slaughtering animals. Otherwise, the smell of blood will easily attract fierce beasts, and at the same time, it will make the place of residence stink. The giants carried the goat to the slaughtering place, and with sharp stone chips and their brute strength, they quickly cleaned the goat.

The dismembered goats were brought to the fire, and the leader of the tribe said to the fire-playing boy, "Meat, here it is!"

The boy didn't say much, but swallowed hard, and then selected the appropriate size of the meat and placed it on the stone slab covered by the fire. As the piece of meat was placed on the stone slab, the scene suddenly resounded with the sound of "bang la la", and at the same time, wisps of water vapor and smoke also rose.

"How can you eat this?" the leader asked the young man curiously.

"Flip it over a little more, and you're ready to eat. The boy replied as he observed the flesh on the slate. When he felt that the state of the meat on the stone slab had reached the time to turn over, he immediately used a wooden stick to pick up the piece of meat and flipped it in the air.

Don't look at the boy, this is the first time to barbecue meat in reality, but with the experience instilled in the dream, the technique is probably not inferior to any barbecue master. It's just that they don't have much seasoning yet, and the teenager doesn't have the experience and memory of being able to "awaken" the seasoning, so the taste of this piece of meat is definitely not delicious.

Soon, the piece of meat began to smell good, and the boy poked and picked it with a stick, and then picked the piece of meat on the stick. Although he really wanted to taste this piece of barbecue, he still didn't forget who the boss was, so he turned around and handed it to the leader next to him, and said, "Okay, it's ready to eat." ”

The tribal leader, smelling the aroma of barbecue meat next to him, was already so hungry that he couldn't stop salivating. Seeing that the young man handed the first piece of barbecue meat to himself, he didn't say anything polite, and directly reached out and took the piece of barbecue. It's just that the boy was carrying the barbecue with a wooden stick, but he didn't pick up the wooden stick, but grabbed it directly on the barbecue. This time, even if the skin was rough and the meat was thick, it made him burn so much that he threw out some of the meat.

"Fire, it's hot, use this ......" The young man saw that the leader's hands were burned back and forth, and he hurriedly handed over the wooden stick in his hand.

However, after pouring it a few times, I don't know if it's getting used to it, or if the barbecue is not so hot. The leader ignored the wooden stick handed by the young man, grabbed the barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth, and when he bit his teeth up and down, the oil juice immediately flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"Hmm...... Delicious...... It's delicious!" the leader said to the boy and the others as he chewed on the roast meat in his mouth.

Although the barbecue is not seasoned with any seasonings and is not technically cooked, it is much better than the raw meat that is fat and fishy. And then again, even if this barbecue is not fully cooked, it is at least six or seven points cooked, which is not much different from the steak eaten by "civilized people".

Seeing that the leader affirmed the deliciousness of the barbecue, the others immediately couldn't hold it back, and the pieces of meat that had been cut or torn were handed to the young man who played with fire.

In this way, such a "small" tribe of more than 100 people smoothly accepted language, writing, and the use of fire.

"It seems, this is quite easy!" Ye Zan and the others, who were hiding on the side, watched the reactions of those giant natives, and they also had a lot more confidence in this method of preaching.

Of course, the current tribe is only a part of the giant natives of the Savage World, or an extremely insignificant part to be precise. If you want to truly achieve the goal of "preaching", Ye Zan must at least guide more than half of the giant natives to embark on the road of cultivation and civilization step by step.

"Mumu, and Miaomiao, let's go find another tribe next. I don't know, after leaving here, do you still have enough influence on those two giants?" Ye Zan asked the Lin family siblings.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye, no matter how far away it is, it's just a matter of thought in a dream. In their dreams, we have planted a brand and can control their dreams at any time as long as they do not leave this world. Lin Mumu said very confidently.
