In the next few days, under the arrangement of Mo Ba, a group of men did not go out to hunt, but cooperated with Xu Chen to build a rattan basket.

Some people are responsible for collecting green vines, some help collecting bark and rubbing ropes, and young and flexible people carry woven vines baskets to pick milk fruits on the cliffs halfway up the mountain.

Compared to women, men are more comfortable in doing these dangerous jobs.

After all, women are thin and can easily get into trouble on cliffs with a vine basket on their backs.

With the powerful loading tool like a vine basket and the manic power output of men, in just a few days, all the mature milk fruits on the large hillside were picked back and piled up the open space in front of the cave.

A group of women, children, young and old, were on stone sticks together, prying and digging, and then making out the nuts inside, spreading them on the ground to dry.

During the past few days of cultivation, Xu Chen's injuries have completely improved, and he no longer needs to hold a wooden crutch when walking.

Of course, because of the two innovative inventions, his status has become incomparable in the ethnic group and has been loved and respected by everyone. The girl Ye also directly changed her job and became his personal follower, and her status has also become much higher. Everyone will unconsciously smile to express respect and care when they see her. When they eat, the food is much more than before. Therefore, after a few days, the black and thin cheeks seem to have become fuller.

However, in Xu Chen's opinion, the little female savage who was still dark and could not cover the light with a fur skirt. She occasionally felt unconsciously impulsive, but most of the time she was as calm as water, and she watched the sunrise and sunset like a single dog, and she watched the clouds roll and unfold.

The shell left by the milk fruit after prying it open is useless and is thrown into the woods. On the open space in front of the cave, a thick layer of milk fruit is densely dried.

Because of this unprecedented harvest, Xu Chen also had a meal for a few days, and finally satisfied his hobby for this special delicious nut, and saw that he no longer had such a strong appetite.

In his free time, Xu Chen would go to the woods and hillsides around the cave every day. While familiarizing himself with the living environment, he also looked for some animals and plants that he had once been familiar with, and collected some emergency medicinal materials.

Hard work pays off. In this search, he found some wild Tianqi, who were very large, and found another very expensive medicinal material, Chonglou.

Chonglou is slightly toxic, but it has the special effect of using poison to fight poison. It can treat many snake venom and is also a good medicine for treating abscesses. In this primitive and wilderness era, Chonglou's value may be greater than that of Tian Qi.

These two medicinal herbs are concentrated in the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan area on the familiar earth, so he guessed that he was in the mountains in the southwest where he was inspecting his field, but the surrounding environment was completely unfamiliar and he dared not believe it.

In addition, before traveling through time, he had never heard of the relatively advanced primitive people living in the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan area. There was only one Yuanmou person. However, according to geological investigation, it was the ancient ape tribe millions of years ago, which was far from the tribe he was currently in.

Therefore, is this earth and the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan area even more confused?

In addition to these two more expensive medicinal materials, some common medicinal materials such as yam, ginger, and angelica have also been found, as well as some familiar trees, flowers and plants.

These plants have one common feature, that is, they all grow tall.

Especially the nest of yams he found, which looked like a large vine, had the main stem as thick as an egg, and was covered with bell-like pods. The leaves were larger than the face, and they were densely covered with bushes of hundreds of meters in a radius. If the pods and leaves were not familiar with each other, he would have almost never recognized them.

However, this yam is too big, and it is unlikely to dig it out with the simple stick tools at present, so he decided to leave it until winter before dealing with it slowly.

Judging from his common sense of life in the wild, if all the yams were dug out, they would have a yield of at least two or three hundred kilograms, which would probably be enough for the entire tribe to eat for several days.

In the past, I followed the geological team to survey the southwest, and there were two favorite foods in the wild.

One is to stew a big snake in an iron pot, and the taste is endless.

In addition, there are wild yams everywhere, and it is difficult to deal with a scoop of engineers and pickaxes. However, they don’t need to be washed after digging them out. They throw them into the fire and roast them. The fragrance exudes a strong aroma of medicine, which is both full of the stomach and strong aphrodisiac. After eating, the whole body is full. The pickaxes can dance and fly when mining.

Apart from these plants you know, there are more people who don’t know.

There are basically no vines in large trees and vines, and there are many varieties and abundant numbers, especially some fruits and plant seeds. If there weren't leaves following him every day, he would have probably been poisoned to death many times.

Because there are many vines with fruits of various colors hanging on the branches, which look very attractive, but every time you want to eat, you will be stopped by Ye quickly. According to Ye's exaggerated movements and expressions, these should be poisonous.

Therefore, gradually, he gave up his plan to advance to become Shennong, and decided to be an ordinary savage baby, following the crowd of people in the tribe to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep.

After all, Shennong has a mythical halo cover, which has its own poison-removing buff and is invincible for all poisons.

And my small body is better to be more at ease.

...

Seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye. While Xu Chen was slowly familiar with the surrounding environment, he also began to become familiar with the simple language of these primitive people. He was able to communicate with his tribe members in a simple way, and his life gradually became simple and harmonious.

And he also planned to follow a group of male savages down the mountain to see the outside world.

In his opinion, the tribe can only truly develop by relocating to the foot of the mountain as soon as possible, starting to farm and grazing, and slowly getting rid of this primitive method of collection and hunting.

Because after several days of communication, he learned that there were several primitive tribes not far away nearby.

The group of men in the tribe all come from these different tribes through marriage.

According to the marriage tradition of matriarchal clans, I guess I will be married in a few years.

When Xu Chen thought of his big man who had a day to get married, he was so amused and crying.

In order to find a good family for yourself, or to find a bare-ass savage whom you can see as your wife, he still needs to find out the details of these strange tribes as soon as possible.

With the help of the rope-woven and the basket-woven family, there will be endless halos of invention leaders. Even if you get married, you must marry freely. You must never settle for it, and you must not marry a big and thick mother savage who is ruined every day.

Because with his familiarity with this tribe, his living habits also opened his eyes.

He found that these adult men and women did not distinguish between husband and wife, but could choose their favorite partner to sleep at any time. Of course, women are mostly in the initiative.

Every night before going to bed, men and women in need will choose each other, and young women have the right to choose.

The unselected men and women will take the initiative to take care of the children and wash them to bed.

Of course, sometimes two women will quarrel about the same man who wants to sleep, while Mo Ba will mediate and maintain the harmony of the ethnic relationship.

When sleeping, the child will follow his mother.

Although half-large minors like Xu Chen and Ye all have their own nests, they are all objects of protection and need to go to the bottom when sleeping.

This chaotic situation left him speechless.

As a person who has been educated by advanced human civilization, he can accept eating raw meat and drinking blood and hunting and gathering,,,,,

Therefore, he hopes that one day he can unify these primitive tribes and form a super-large tribe, and at the same time abolish this chaotic habit of group living, so that human civilization can evolve from matriarchal clans that eat raw meat and drink blood to a patriarchal society of large tribal systems and even royal power systems.

What a pleasant and awesome thing it would be to build a large human empire in this wilderness era in his lifetime, and to descend to the world.

However, there are many crises at the foot of the mountain, and poisonous snakes and beasts are emerging one after another. His weak little body must not be hung up in advance, so he must make a handy weapon for himself.

But in this era when there were only stones except for bone sticks, he thought for a few days and decided to make a bow for himself.

Of course, he had never seen real bows and arrows. He was just using bamboo yarn to make toy bows and arrows when he was a child, but this little experience was enough.

Compared with a group of bare-ass savages running wild miles on the forest and river beach at speed to hunt a wild beast, bows and arrows are destined to become the greatest invention second only to metal in the history of human civilization.

A few days after deciding to make the bow and arrow, Xu Chen cut back several woods of different materials from nearby mountains and forests.

These woods have one common feature, which is that they are straight, strong, tough, and cannot be broken easily.

These woods don't have time to dry out, so I can only try it.

After some choice, he found a bent wood that was relatively neither soft nor hard, scraped off the skin with a bone knife, and then trimmed it with a stone axe to make the overall look similar in thickness, and the bent areas were also flattened. The two ends were simply polished to a depression on the stone, and then stretched out a three-string string that he had carefully selected as a bowstring. Such a simple wooden bow was ready.

Trying to pull it with your hands is very difficult and can barely be able to drive it.

According to his arm strength, Xu Chen is estimated to be about twenty kilograms.

In ancient times, this kind of bow was less than a stone, but this was the limit he could have opened.

But no matter what, he believed that this bow must be enough to shoot the rabbit to death.

The premise is that you get close enough, aim accurately, and move quickly enough. When the rabbit is not paying attention, an arrow will be shot on its neck.

As for prey other than rabbits, such as beasts such as wolf, bear, tiger, and leopard, don’t joke. Don’t beat him when you meet him. It’s wisest to admit defeat with a chrysanthemum.

The bow is made, but the arrows are still missing.

To shoot accurately, in addition to the shooter's superb skills, arrows are also very important. You must ensure that they can maintain flight balance when shot out.

In order to maintain balance, in addition to the appropriate lightness and weight of arrowheads and arrow bodies, tail feathers are also very important.

Therefore, Xu Chen spent another day looking for materials suitable for making arrows.

Finally, a plant that looks like a fern was chosen.

The stems of this plant are slender and woody, and grow in sparse sunny soil slopes, and are relatively uniform in thickness. However, they are very tough and not easy to break. Xu Chen spent a long time to cut twenty pieces with a stone knife back.

With the arrow shaft, the arrow material made him scratch his head again.

Finally, he had to find some bones and teeth from the garbage dumped by the woods, pick some of the right sizes, let the leaves and a few larger children help to simply polish the stone, then split a small opening in front of the arrow shaft and clamp it in as an arrow, and wrap it tightly with a thin rope.

As for the tail feathers, the fixing method is similar. Because there is no glue, you can only split a crack in the arrow shaft, choose the searched feathers, cut them with a stone knife, and then clamp them in, and tie them with a thin rope.

After the first arrow was made, Xu Chen found that he could still shoot it smoothly. According to the strength of the bow and arrow, it could shoot at most about thirty meters away and within ten meters, and it could shoot into the bark that was about half an inch thick.

I don't know if I can shoot through the wolf's skin at this depth, but there is no problem with shooting people and rabbits.

What is missing now is accuracy.

Because of the distance of ten meters, he shot five times before hitting a tree trunk that was one foot thick.

Not to mention shooting rabbits, this kind of accuracy is a target, but only cattle and horses can make it difficult to be targeted.

However, this is a problem of ability, not a problem of weapons. Therefore, after confirming that the arrow could be used in this way, Xu Chen began to make a large-scale production.

After two more days of this, he finally made fifteen arrows.

In order to ensure his life safety, he also made a piece of armor and a pair of quiver with fine vines and some scraps of animal skins.

Since picking the milk fruit on the hillside, a group of primitive people have returned to their usual routines. Women go out early and come back late every day to collect and dig various foods and take care of their families. A group of men eat and sleep every day and go down the mountain to hunt and explore the world.

With the help of backpacking, the harvest has increased significantly. A group of women were divided into groups and transported a large number of rhizomes and fruit seeds to the cave every day. A group of men would carry several backpacks when they went down the mountain, hunting while collecting food along the way further away.

Therefore, when eating mats every day, there are always many fresh ingredients, sometimes fruits, sometimes melons or beans, and the amount of food in each meal has quietly increased a lot.

After all, it was because of the emergence of the backpack, which greatly increased the types and quantity of food. The sufficient food also made the entire tribe more joyful and laughter, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and warm.

Due to the special circumstances, Xu Chen has been upgraded to a special tribe member. Every day, except for guiding the tribe members to rub ropes and weave baskets, he does not need to participate in any other labor. He can have very sufficient time to arrange his work.

Therefore, whenever all the tribe members set out to work, he would take Ye and a group of children to make bows and arrows and provide protective equipment.

The group of women, children, elderly and weak left behind in the cave are also busy with their own affairs, and almost no one has the time to care about what he is doing every day.
