A lot of content has been written on the stone wall now.

In addition to the ropes and baskets written in the first two days, there are also bows, arrows, tubes, fruits, woods, armors, etc. behind them.

All diaries are simple pictographic characters, and they do not use the simplified Chinese characters that Xu Chen is most familiar with.

A bow is represented by an arc and a vertical shape;

The arrow is an arrow on the top, a vertical in the middle, and a small stroke on both sides of the bottom to indicate feathers;

Wood and fruit are simpler, but in fact there are similar simple graffiti murals on the stone wall;

A is more complicated, with a cross in the middle representing a person, and a grid-like pattern is added.

The time and weather cannot be recorded too carefully, so we can only use simple hieroglyphs such as the moon, sun, clouds and rain to express the approximate number. The year, month and day are impossible to appear.

As the saying goes, one step beyond one is a genius, and ten steps beyond one is a heretic.

He didn't want to do things that scare them with something beyond the perception of this primitive group of people.

Hieroglyphs happen to be the characteristic of civilization that humans in this era have just begun to emerge.

Because he was not the only one who graffiti inside and outside the cave, he had already painted all over the place with various messy patterns, most of which were drawn by a group of children, including trees, birds, various animals and flowers, and even some strange-shaped patterns drawn by adults with different colors of ore pigments, including many of them with the prototypes of text.

However, these are not real words, they are just describing what they see, hear and think, and they have not yet matched them with the language of daily communication.

Moreover, some of these messy patterns have been around for a long time and have different imprints. Some seem to have been gradually found since these primitive people lived here, perhaps decades, or hundreds or thousands of years.

Recently, Xu Chen has written diaries on the stone wall every day, and a group of children have painted more.

However, the area where he wrote was very tight, so children were not allowed to draw. They even used animal skin dipped in water to wipe off some of the messy things they had originally painted, leaving him a large blank space that could record a lot of things.

I went down the mountain for the first time today. Although I didn’t get much, I had a general understanding of the surrounding environment and a deeper understanding of the survival status of these primitive people.

At present, when plants are ripe in large quantities, there is no shortage of food.

There are also many animals, not only a large number of wild animals, but also countless fish in the river.

However, with the simple tools of these primitive people, they had to return empty-handed most of the time.

Although snakes and turtles and hedgehogs can also satisfy their hunger, they are not long-term solutions after all. These things are divided into seasons and will hibernate after the real autumn, and they will not be found at all.

Besides, hunting itself does not conform to the way of human survival. Even if you invent bows and arrows, this kind of life that hunts for a living every day will have great dangers and hidden dangers.

Any bite or injury by insects and snakes is almost fatal.

And by collecting in the wild, you can indeed eat enough in summer and autumn, but in the cold winter and spring.

Food cannot be preserved, and when food is scarce, it will be even more deadly.

Therefore, farming and raising livestock in captivity, and slowly abandoning collection and hunting are the direction of the long-term development of the tribe.

There is wheat at the foot of the mountain.

Xu Chen used charcoal to draw the shape of a mountain under the last diary, and added a pictographic symbol of wheat to the back.

There are fish in the river.

The second story is recorded below, a flowing water represents a symbol of a river, and a fish pattern is drawn later.

There are snakes in the grass.

The third one is drawn with a pictographic head of the word "grass", and the snake pattern is drawn behind it.

There are beasts outside the valley.

Article 4: Draw the shape of a valley, and draw the pictographic characters of the beast behind it

When Xu Chen was writing, Ye would squat beside him and read very seriously. Every time Xu Chen wrote a word, he would point to her and teach her to pronounce it.

In the past few days, she has been able to recognize the words she wrote a few days ago, and even imitate them herself.

The ropes, baskets, bows, arrows, etc. invented by Xu Chen have become new words that all tribesmen agree with.

However, as more and more invented things, more and more characters will be created. Xu Chen felt that education should be used to promote the unification of the tribe's language and writing, which would be more conducive to future communication.

Therefore, he decided to take the time to teach Ye and a group of children to recognize words.

Education must start with children.

Adults are used to being natural things that are difficult to change, but children are still a piece of white paper, and it is easy to carry them crookedly.

...

The next day, a group of men divided into two teams. Young hunters with relatively high military power went down the mountain to hunt, and the remaining few stayed on the mountain to learn how to make bows and arrows with Xu Chen.

This kind of shoddy bow and arrow is not complicated, and Xu Chen doesn't need to talk about it repeatedly. In fact, after seeing the bow and arrow, a group of men already know how to make the bow and arrow, but Xu Chen only needs some experience and simple guidance.

These primitive people are more familiar with the situation nearby and are more comfortable with the tools of stone swords and axes. Therefore, in just half a day, they got back a lot of materials for making bows and arrows. A group of people sat in front of the cave and chopped and chopped them and were very busy.

Xu Chen has plenty of free time to arrange his own affairs.

In order to find clay, a stone hoe must be made first.

But this thing is simple, but it is actually not easy to do.

It took him half an hour to break a pile of stones, but he didn't get what he wanted. He was so angry that he pressed a few naughty children next to him to the ground and beat him up. Then he spent an hour in the woods to cut back an old tree root with a 7-shaped shape, and then cut down two stone axes to finally turn the root into a wooden hoe.

Wooden hoes are not unique to primitive people. Even in the 21st century, they are still used among ethnic minorities in the Yunnan-Guizhou area. Xu Chen once visited the Dulongjiang Basin of Gongshan, Yunnan, and local ethnic minorities are still using this kind of agricultural tool in large quantities.

Moreover, the local ethnic minorities even retain very primitive living habits, which is similar to the primitive people in front of you. A group of men and women live together after getting married and there is no fixed relationship between husband and wife. Once married, men and women do not distinguish between husband and wife and can be polite to each other, but intermarriage is not allowed within the tribe, and a typical tribal clan inheritance is passed on.

They have language, no words, carved wooden knots and recorded things, did not use livestock to cultivate, and remained in the extremely primitive stage of slash-and-burn farming. Men liked to hunt with bows and arrows, and women gathered them as an important source of food.

It can be said that the living habits of the Dulong clan are almost no different from the primitive people in front of you.

The only change is that the government has solved the power and transportation for them, and people have clothes to wear.

If it weren't for the changes in his body and the different climates around him, Xu Chen knew that he had traveled through time, otherwise he wouldn't be too surprised if someone told him that he was in a very primitive ancient tribe in Yunnan.

After all, he had seen those scenes of primitive ethnic minority life, which was almost the same as this.

Although this hoe is rough and simple, it looks very unusual to a group of primitive people.

Because the current use of wooden sticks to dig the rhizomes of plants, you can only sharpen them for easy use.

Therefore, after making this wooden hoe, it immediately attracted a group of men and women who were making bows and arrows and drying food. They watched in surprise, and then followed Xu Chen to the woods in a daze. When they saw him digging out a big hole, they all screamed excitedly.

This is another great invention that has never been seen before. It is more magical and useful than ropes, almost just a little worse than a rattan basket.

So a woman couldn't wait to carry a wooden hoe down the mountain.

As expected, it was to report this good news to the leader Moba.

Xu Chen didn't care either. He found his bow and re-processed it and polished it. He rubbed several stronger strings as bowstrings. After finishing it, he looked at the sky again. It was just noon, so he summoned a group of children and gathered around the wall where he was writing his diary to teach the words.

"Read with me, rope~"

"Shengga!"

"rope!"

"Shengga!"

"Next, basket~"

"Brand!"

"basket!"

"Brand!"

Ga, you uncle!

Xu Chen was covered in black lines. Every time he taught a word, these little savages were always used to adding a ga to the back. No matter how he taught him, he could not change this oral habit.

While a group of children were vocalizing words, a group of men sitting next to him who made bows and arrows and ropes also started to read aloud, and the quarrel sounded throughout the mountainside.

A few dogs were indeed a group of savages, and they couldn't teach them anymore.

Xu Chen was so angry that his face twitched, but he had been a little stubborn since he was a child. He was not a breed that was easily led to be deviated. Therefore, he vowed to change the speech habits of these savages, so he called out a group of children one by one and read them aloud, not to carry the word "Ga" and read it wrongly.

So a kid was beaten and cried and wanted to skip class.

But Xu Chen, who had just come to the scene, was not willing to let go, and pressed the two most terrifying little savages to the ground and beat them up.

"Mother Ga,%￥#..."

The beaten little savage began to cry for her father and mother, but the group of men didn't care at all. They laughed while watching while making bows and arrows.

Because under this matriarchal group marriage system, men are only responsible for hunting and breeding, children only recognize their mother but not their father, and everyone does not know who their father is.

Although some women felt distressed and wanted to come over to persuade them, they were immediately stopped by several older women next to them.

Although they don’t know much about what Xu Chen did, many of his inventions and innovations have brought great changes to the family recently. The things he wrote and painted on the stone wall were both novel and mysterious, and obviously began to transcend their cognitive scope. A group of older women and mother Ba agreed that everything Xu Chen did must have special significance and may be closely related to the prosperity of the ethnic group, so Xu Chen didn’t care about anything he did.

Under this mentality, a group of children became sad. After being beaten up for half an hour, they began to change their habit of talking in a crying manner.

After more than ten days of getting along, Xu Chen was able to roughly understand the daily communication between these primitive people.

It’s nothing more than eating, drinking, defecation and simple experiences.

Words come from many tonal forms, and more complex communication is mixed with rich body language.

Because there is no text, a complete language system cannot be formed.
