Chapter 87

In the next few days, Xu Chen went out early and came back late every day to busy land reclamation.

During this period, Ji Clan also came to exchange pottery and wanted to leave some people to help repair the house and change pottery. Xu Chen agreed very readily and left five.

With fishing nets right now, dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of fish can be caught almost every day. In addition, yam resources are rich, there is no shortage of food at present, and it can fully support a huge construction team.

What he lacks now is people and time.

These tribes were willing to exchange labor for pottery, which actually helped him a lot.

Of course, the premise is that the Ba people's pottery has enough temptation to these tribes.

A group of hunters of the Ba tribe are now completely obsessed with fishing. Every day, they carry fishing nets and can basically get a lot of big fish back in half a day. Of course, the fishing nets are broken almost every day, so Xu Chen had to teach them to build a net and replenish the net during his busy and free time.

A group of hunters came back early, so Xu Chen naturally couldn't let them be idle. He fished in the morning and went to clean up the fire belt in the afternoon.

After eating two unique foods, such as delicious fish balls and sashimi, everyone fell in love with these two delicacies.

Under the guidance of Ye and Xu Chen, a group of women learned to make fish balls and fillets.

So every night everyone can have a fish feast.

Although the alcohol resistance is almost zero, the deliciousness of the sashimi marinated with vine fruit lees makes a group of men unable to stop. Every night, everyone still rushes to eat a few bites. After eating, they are naturally dizzy and have a great interest in their good resistance. They take advantage of the alcohol to brag and have a great sexual interest. They show their love to women and ask for good luck. After receiving the response, they naturally touch each other's butts into the hole to enjoy themselves.

Women eat and drink to comfort a group of men, and they will still spin and weave cloth around the fire pit.

Xu Chen continued to train the two little wolves tirelessly. After training until dark, if he had some ideas and gains today, he would write a diary.

Nowadays, hundreds of words have been written on the cave walls of the cave. Not only are there words invented based on daily terms, such as sun, moon, stars, mountains, water, stone, earth, fire, wood, fruit and other basic words, but also a large number of them are his innovative languages.

In addition to these individual simple words, sometimes he will use simple sentences to record what he has done, and the important thing is to record time later.

In addition to the text, he also wrote some simple addition and subtraction operations on the cave wall, some of which were written by Ye. In addition, he also wrote the 99 multiplication table a few days ago, but because it was too difficult to understand, he taught Ye a few times, and she could only calculate five by five, and there was nothing he could do about it even more difficult.

The reason why he wanted to teach multiplication was that the two transactions with the Muya tribe of the Wu tribe gave him the urge to vomit blood and die. He did not want the Ba tribe to continue to be so stupid in the future, otherwise it would be detrimental to his future kingship.

In addition to text and calculations, there are two other graphics on the hole wall.

One is a moon phase diagram. Now the leaves can understand it completely and calculate the time based on the changes in the moon every day.

The other is a simple map, which depicts the distribution of landscapes in the Ba and Wu tribes and the approximate locations of several ethnic groups.

At present, these six tribes are distributed in a large mountain valley area on the north bank of the Great River.

The Wu tribe is located in the middle, to the north are the Ba tribe, to the west are the Muya tribe, to the lower reaches of the southeastern river, the Hu tribe, and the Ji tribe and Cang tribe are located further southwest, and the overall living area will not exceed fifty kilometers.

According to my understanding at the Witch Lord Conference and my recent exchanges with the Muya tribe of the Wu tribe, the lower the river, the wider the terrain becomes and the smoother the mountains become.

Therefore, Xu Chen speculated that the area where the Ba and Wu people lived was between the plains and the mountains, and it was estimated that after hundreds of miles down the river, it would be the plains.

But these are too far-reaching.

At present, his interaction range is still limited to the radius of a day of round trip. They even said that their main range of activities is limited to the area of ​​the river with one-way southeast facing the river. As for the larger mountains in the west and north, there are no tribes in it, but the terrain is more dangerous and complex, and for the Ba people, they will not explore it at all.

As more and more textual numerical graphics on the cave wall, this stone wall gradually became more and more mysterious in the eyes of all tribesmen.

Now when everyone looks at this cave wall, they feel a sense of awe.

The main reason is that these dense words, numbers and graphics look too obscure and complicated, and you will feel dizzy when you look at them a few more times.

Even in Muba's opinion, the things left by Xu Chen are far more mysterious and important than the mysterious pattern symbols on the cave where the Great Witch lives.

She takes people to the Wu tribe to attend two gatherings every year, one is the witch congratulations in autumn, and the other is the sacrifice of the old mother in spring.

The Great Witch has always been the person she respects and even fears the most.

Until Xu Chen appeared, especially after this witch congratulations, she not only began to be dissatisfied with the Wu tribe, but also a little dissatisfied with the great witch.

The wise and fair witch could not even invent something that Xu Chen had, and she insisted on refusing to recognize Xu Chen's identity.

Although Mu Ba was not willing to admit her thoughts, as if this would blasphemy and even bring disaster to the Ba people, there were indeed some cracks in her heart and it could not be bridged.

It is precisely because of this psychological change that she became more and more convinced that Xu Chen was born after receiving the help of the gods and was guided by the gods to help the Ba people.

Therefore, after the incident happened that Xu Chen and Ye slept for a night a few days ago.

An indescribable atmosphere began to spread in the hearts of adult women in the clan.

According to ethnic rules, such things are not allowed to happen.

Ye Pingyan slept with Muba and a group of women with children, and was completely separated from adult men and women with mating rights. Xu Chen and Gu, citing these semi-adult men, slept outside Muba and others, and were closer to a group of adult men and women.

But everyone was a little drunk that day and fell asleep early. When Xu Chen held Ye in to sleep, several busy pregnant women did not notice it until dawn.

After the incident, Moba and a group of adult women felt a little tricky, but they tacitly did not reveal the incident.

Because once it is exposed, Xu Chen must accept punishment from the tribe, either expelling or sending it to another tribe to exchange for a man of similar age.

But who is willing to rush Xu Chen to leave now?

Not to mention that they were not rushing, the other tribes would be eager for Xu Chen to leave the Ba tribe. As long as the Ba tribe said they wanted to replace people, the other four tribes would rush to take him back.

In the face of the survival and interests of the Ba people, Muba and others were willing to accept this seemingly inappropriate ending and would rather destroy the ancient rules passed down from the tribe.

The reason why they can accept and acknowledge these things is because from Mo Ba’s mother to Chen and Ye’s generation, they have reproduced to the fourth generation, but their blood ties are actually very weak.

If the Ba tribe is big enough, as big as the Wu tribe, the tribe has been scattered into more than a dozen families, and in fact, intermarriage has begun, but they have not completely separated from the tribe and are looking for a home and life as independent as the Ba tribe.

Otherwise, there would be no enough foreign men around a tribe as big as the Wu tribe to marry.

According to ancient traditions, blood relatives within the matriarchal three generations are not allowed to intermarry.

And Chen and Ye have already crossed this boundary between time and blood.

If the two can really get married, then the Ba tribe can split a new family like the Wu tribe, and then continue to form a unified tribe to reproduce and survive.

Xu Chen naturally didn't know what Mother Ba and a group of women were thinking.

He just wanted to be a quiet and primitive inventor and plan his grand plan to unify Jiuzhou.

Therefore, I did not take this matter seriously by taking the diary and fruit wine at all.

Since returning from attending the Wu Zhu Conference, he has basically stopped his plan to find a mother savage as his wife, and has been devoted to the construction and strived to contribute to the upgrading of human civilization.

Wine, this is a word that was invented a few days ago. On the left is water and on the right is a combination pictogram pattern of a pottery jar.

In addition, after learning to fish with nets, people of the tribe have learned some new words such as nets, fish balls and fish-shen. In the communication of life on the construction site, the Wu tribe, Muya tribe and Hu tribe have also learned these new words one after another.

This is a diffuse cultural communication.

Human civilization slowly forms a broader language and writing system through this mutual communication and learning, and then relies on these same language and writing communication to form a larger sense of identity among tribal groups. In the end, these tribes and groups will slowly merge into a more advanced new civilization style.

Therefore, language and writing are the most important inheritance for human beings besides blood ties. Once they reach a certain scale and height, they will surpass blood ties and become a broad sense of racial identity.

However, to reach this point, we still need to rely on language and writing to form a mature ideological system.

For example, the inheritance of ancient myths, the creation of the divine system, the understanding of heaven, earth and nature, etc.

For example, the inheritance of China, from ancient myths to the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought to Confucianism becoming the ruling idea of ​​feudal dynasties, its core essence is the pursuit and recognition of morality.

This process is very long.

However, tracing the core of this inheritance may be related to the primitive theories that have begun to appear and form before the writing period.

Text carries the truth.

With words, these theories can be explained, explained and recorded to form an ideological system, which can be spread and gained widespread recognition. A group with broad ideological identity will naturally form a broader social structure that transcends blood ties.

Therefore, Xu Chen is very serious about creating words.

Compared with the technical communications that are visible on the surface of the open surface of rope-woven baskets, he attaches more importance to the convenience of language and writing communication and the cultural identity formed through it.
