Chapter 404: The Old Wizard of the Primitive Era (11)
As the hunting ended in late autumn, it quickly cooled down, and the long-awaited first heavy snow slowly fell on the third day after the hunt ended.
Although they do not know the season.
But the experience of the past is still useful.
Even if there is an occasional error of three or two days, it is within the allowable range and does not have much impact.
This is the experience of many generations.
Over time, these experiences will become more and more accurate, and eventually form a definite division of seasons and solar terms, which will unify and summarize the most primitive summer calendar, or primitive lunar calendar, of this era.
Civilization since ancient times.
If it's not open.
Then there should be no overnight success.
Many times, it is not accurate to blame a person for an invention.
The so-called Shennong grows grains.
In fact, it is very likely that those five grains have been cultivated and improved in Shennong's tribe a long time ago, and it was only in Shennong's generation that there were some breakthroughs in grains.
For example, the yield is increased and the taste is improved.
The same is true for the lunar calendar.
The creation of almanacs has always required several generations, or even dozens of generations of experience to be able to lay the foundation, can not be denied because these people did not make the almanac finally written, without the accumulation of these people, that person no matter how smart he is, it is impossible to rely on the power of a generation to compile the almanac from scratch.
For example, the Yellow Emperor is even more ridiculous.
In order to praise him, later generations do not know how many people's exploits are attributed to him alone.
If those creations were really created by him alone, then I'm afraid that he is not a traverser, and no one will believe him if he is not open.
That's too much......
When the first snow falls since the beginning of winter.
It means that their Huoyuan tribe can follow the past practice and start wintering, but Qiao Mu did not follow the past practice and let the tribesmen in the tribe stay in the cave for the winter to conserve their strength and reduce food consumption, but still assigned them various tasks through the fire every day.
In the past, the main reason for everyone to eat was because there was not enough food to eat, and everyone had to reduce food consumption by reducing their activities.
Of course, the lack of work in winter is also one of the main reasons, but the reason for not working in winter is far less important than the reason for not having enough food.
The core is still the lack of food.
If they have enough food, they can go out and chop some firewood, build snowmen, play in the snow, and make trouble with the people around them, even if they have nothing to do.
But this year it doesn't matter.
Because there is enough food stored this year.
Besides, Qiao Mu still has a lot of things to do for them, how can they just be so cat-winter, so even if it is winter this time, no one in the tribe has been given time to rest, and they still need to follow the leader's command to do all kinds of things every day.
However, there were no complaints.
Because everybody is well fed now.
For people who are hungry and full from time to time, or even many times need to go hungry all the time in winter, being able to eat enough every day is the greatest happiness.
As for the work, it doesn't matter.
As long as you can eat enough, you can do as much work as you want.
The people live on food, and that's probably the case.
However, the division of tasks of each person in the tribe is different, and everyone still has some opinions.
The rest of the division is similar.
The only thing that is enviable is the fire kiln.
That is, the one who burns the fire.
Because the winter is cold at this time, and the flames on the side of the kiln are constant all year round, working there is much warmer than staying by the campfire, and in the eyes of many tribesmen, this work is naturally better and more comfortable.
After Qiao Mu found out about this situation.
In order to avoid the expansion of internal contradictions.
The original fixed division of labor was changed to a rotation, and everyone took turns to burn the fire, so that the original dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.
Everyone continued to work in full swing.
And I look forward to the day when I burn the fire.
The winter lasted four months.
The winter lasted for four months, and Qiao Mu led the tribesmen to work for four months, during which they weaved all the coarse threads they had prepared in the past into cloth, made all the starch trees into starch, and fired a large number of pottery and countless bricks.
Even in the end, because the weather was too cold and there was really no way to continue making masonry embryos, Qiao Mu did not forget to squeeze out some time to do a period of basic general knowledge science popularization for those who were idle, basic literacy, literacy and corresponding computing education.
In short, everyone has gained a lot.
Both materially and spiritually.
When the snow begins to melt and the trees begin to sprout, spring has officially arrived.
Qiao Mu still didn't let everyone stop.
Anyway, the food stored last autumn had not been eaten yet, so there was no need to rush for the time being, so Qiao Mu continued to suppress the desire of everyone to go out hunting, and began to mobilize everyone in the tribe to build collective houses, build fences for small docile beasts, and level the surrounding fertile land and dig collective pits.
There are more than 300 people, from the elderly in their forties to the children of three or five years old, none of them are lazy, and no one is idle, and everyone is busy with construction.
Of course, although everyone did not object at first, they were indeed full of doubts, I don't know why the cave is built if it is good to live in the cave?
But wait until the first house is built.
When they entered the house and felt the light and comfort of the house, which was very different from the cave, no one had any doubts.
People like to enjoy.
Even if it is primitive people, it does not mean that they are industrious, their diligence is only forced to be helpless, forced to survive, and can only be industrious.
If only there was better food.
I can have a more comfortable room.
You can have an easier life.
Naturally, they were willing.
There is no need to question this.
Out of the desire for a bright and comfortable room.
The construction progress, which had been slightly dragged, suddenly seemed to be clockwork, and it could not be stopped at all.
However, no matter how hard they tried, the speed was still limited, and the original adhesive was not made much, and they needed to build a house while making the adhesive, so the speed was inevitably slowed down a lot, and the food was constantly consumed.
When there are fewer people, the speed will naturally be slower.
In the end, even had to stop work.
Because they have more important things to do.
Apparently spring sowing was more important than building a house to replace the cave, which was related to winter food and everyone's confidence in planting, so for the next half of the spring, Qiao Mu led the rest of the tribe to sow the seeds of the crops that had been improved by her plant abilities, and along the way, she raised the small wild animals brought back by the hunting party.
Once people are busy, they will feel that time flies quickly, although Qiao Mu has experienced many worlds in the past, but he is busy like this, only this one world, because she really has to worry about everything here, and she has to continue to be busy with the creation of one thing, and there seems to be no end.
In addition to the relatively simple processing of primary agricultural products in this world, all the rest of the industries are involved in the whole body, need a lot of industries to cooperate with each other, arbor wants to achieve a certain goal, then it is necessary to do all the related industries of this purpose, if there are other related industries in the related industries, then it must be done together.
In this way, it is strange that it is not busy.
In the busyness, the time passed quickly month by month, as if it was just a blink of an eye, the crops planted in the spring have changed from the first seedlings to golden mature plants, at first glance like a golden ocean, full of harvest scenes.
These can be harvested.
The arbor quickly set the time for harvest.
And an autumn festival was prepared before the harvest.
Sacrifice to the earth to give a good harvest.
The sacrifice is in good weather.
On the day of the autumn harvest.
No one went out hunting.
Everyone was very happy to participate in the autumn festival, danced a dance, and then began to harvest the dozen kinds of crops in the excavation field under the command of Qiao Mu, as these crops were continuously harvested or dug into the warehouse, everyone couldn't stop the smile on their faces, and the speed at hand was getting faster and faster, and some people even stood up from time to time to look at it for a while, smirking.
For them, this almost endless endless plant that allows them to harvest and eat at will is like a dream.
A dream that does not want to wake up.
"Wu, planting is amazing!
Mother Earth Goddess is so generous.
If we have more varieties, then the picking team will no longer have to risk all kinds of dangers to go out to pick things, they only need to stay in the tribe and plant, and the things that can be planted are far more stable than the picking.
I've never seen such a patchy and edible plant grow anywhere else.
It was nothing short of miraculous.
And these plants are harvested in the fall.
If we can grow these plants in large quantities every year, we will never have to worry about running out of food for the winter! ”
The more Yan talked, the happier he became.
If it weren't for the arbor on the side, if it weren't for everyone working, he might even want to dance the sacrificial dance of sacrificing to the earth on the spot.
"Although the planting is good.
But it's not without risk.
Do you remember the great drought ten years ago, when the rivers dried up, the trees withered yellow, a lot of vegetation died, and countless wild animals rioted, and if that happened, it would be difficult for the plants we planted to survive, so we couldn't just aim to stock up on food for a whole winter.
If one day we can stock up on food for a whole year, or even two or three years, then we don't have to worry about that danger again.
Moreover, you forget about the little creatures we have such as cooing chickens and long-haired sheep, if we have enough cooing chickens or long-haired sheep, then the task of your hunting team can be much easier, you only need to send some people out to hunt some wild beasts as training at a time, and the rest can stay and farm.
During this period of time, you should no longer need dozens of people to kill a prey like in the past, but now three or five people, or even seven or eight people, are enough to kill some ordinary beasts, so it is too wasteful to go out with nearly a hundred people to hunt together every time.
It is completely possible to go in groups of more than a dozen people, two groups at a time, and the rest of the people stay to farm, or do other things, and take turns to hunt.
It will guarantee your force.
It can also save a lot of labor to do work. ”
Although Qiao Mu really wanted everyone to plant and breed with her, at the same time, she also knew the disadvantages of planting and breeding, and knew that once they gave up hunting for a long time, then the force value of the entire tribe would drop sharply, which was obviously not conducive to the growth and survival of the tribe.
Tribal hunting is not just to hunt prey, but also to protect the tribe from other tribes.
The hunting team in the tribe is like the country's army, the army can be disbanded partially, but it must not be disbanded all, but the development is inseparable from manpower, therefore, take turns to exercise, all the people are soldiers, wartime operations, peacetime farming, is the best choice, but also the best direction of development.
Of course, this is because there are fewer people.
If there are too many people, it is not necessary.
"Ten years ago, alas, if it weren't for the great drought ten years ago, our tribe wouldn't have been left with such a few people, when we went east and migrated here, and the rest of the people who went west, north, and south, I don't know if they had found a habitat."
Because Qiao Mu mentioned ten years ago, Yan couldn't help but suddenly recall that back then, their Huoyuan tribe was not a native tribe here.
They migrated ten years ago.
Ten years ago, there was a great drought in the area where they had been staying, a drought that had never happened before, the rivers on which they depended for their livelihood were dried up, and the vegetation around them was almost completely dead, and they had to live on the bark and grass roots of trees, and some tribes even became cannibalistic tribes.
At that time, there were nearly 10,000 people in the Huoyuan tribe.
But in times of disaster, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to survive, if there are only three or five people, then find a spring, three or five people may be able to live on that small spring, but nearly 10,000 people are not a small stream at all, or a spring can feed, in the end, in order to survive, they can only split the original tribe.
At that time, there was a shrine of witches in their tribe.
There are a total of nine wizards in the Witch Temple.
If the tribe wants to survive, it is indispensable for the assistance of wizards, so they finally split the tribe into nine branches, led by nine wizards, each of whom scattered to the ten directions of heaven and earth.
At the time of their departure, there were almost 1,000 people in each tribe, but the drought was so widespread that people were dying during the migration, and by the time their team found this habitat with woods and rivers under the leadership of the original body, there were less than 600 people left of the original nearly 1,000 tribesmen.
Later, in order to survive here, they had many conflicts with some local tribes, and many people died, and finally died to less than 400 people, and after destroying a cannibal tribe, they finally settled here.
"The ancestral gods will bless them.
After the autumn harvest is over and all the grain is dried, I will hold another divine gift ceremony to give my three disciples the special ability to perceive plants, and you can arrange it when the time comes. ”
After Qiao Mu said dryly that the ancestral gods would bless them, he talked about other things.
Last year, the three disciples she accepted didn't know anything about many things, so there was no way to give them plant ability seeds, and now after a year of teaching, those three disciples finally understood some acupoints and meridians, and also knew a little plant knowledge, so naturally it was time to give them plant abilities, and she had to keep watching when farming in the province, telling those clansmen how much water to water, which plant had insects or something?
Wait until those three disciples have a supernatural ability.
Naturally, they do the tedious work for them.
It can also help them develop their abilities.
"Wu, that's great.
This is a blessing for our tribe.
……
Still, can I know if your magical abilities can only be given to three people, or what? ”
Yan first replied happily, but hesitated for a moment before suddenly asking.
The question was abrupt and rash.
He was very unfamiliar with God-given, and had never heard of it before, but judging by the name alone, he thought it should be rare.
But now the arbor can give it at will.
This undoubtedly made him very curious.
In fact, at the beginning, when he randomly picked three children to be Qiao Mu's disciples, he was already tempting, testing whether there were any restrictions on God-given seeds, and the three children were all ordered by him, and there were no similarities, but Wu Qiao did not refuse, but at that time, Wu Qiao did not clearly say when to give them God-given ability seeds, but said that they still need to learn, and only when they learn enough knowledge can they accept the inheritance of God-given ability seeds.
Because of this, at that time, Yan suspected that Qiao Mu would not give the three children the seeds of ability.
Filters are made from it.
Pick the right gift.
But just now, Qiao Mu made it clear that he would give the three of them the seeds of ability after a while
This undoubtedly broke Yan's original speculation.
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if the gift of the Ability Seed was not as complicated as he imagined, and there might not be any special physique or special age at all.
He desperately wanted to know the answer.
I couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, and I didn't continue to try, and asked Qiao Mu directly.
After asking, he regretted it a little.
But it's also full of expectations.
Expect a definite response.
Qiao Mu glanced at Yan and said with a smile:
"It can be given to many people.
But I can only give it to them, they cannot give it to others, and they cannot pass it on, that is to say, only one generation of them.
If you want.
I can give you a copy too.
But you'll have to learn from me for a while, or you won't know how to use it. ”
The Arbor's ability is Goldfinger, and the condensed ability seeds are actually only branches of Goldfinger, and they can't be passed down through descendants like normal abilities from bloodlines.
As a result, her abilities can only be passed on for one generation.
Wait for the arbor to die.
Or when she leaves this world.
Then there will be no new plant wizards here, and when the older generation of plant wizards dies, the related stories may only become legends passed down by word of mouth from the older generation.
Qiao Mu knew very well that his development of tribal civilization relied on the accumulation of knowledge that was thousands or tens of thousands of years ahead of this, rather than the so-called plant ability, so he naturally didn't care about revealing the roots.
If it weren't for the fact that condensing plant ability seeds was too troublesome, and it hurt every time they were divided, Qiao Mu would even like to pass on an ability seed to everyone in the tribe to facilitate the growth of his ability and the issuance of various planting tasks.
That's right, although Qiao Mu's golden finger is a plant ability, it is still quite similar to the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa in some characteristics, and all the life cultivation plant abilities that get her plant ability seeds can feed her back to a certain extent.
As long as she's scattered enough seeds.
Even if she hadn't cultivated, the energy from those ability seeds alone would be enough for her to slowly advance her ability to level twelve.
So why worry about revealing your bottom.
Give it if you want it.
"I see, I thought this ability could be passed on forever, according to this view, we still have to collect those strange plants as much as possible, and it is best to get the information of most of the plants before the gods' gift disappears, so that even if the gods' gift disappears, we can know most of the plants.
Wu, can you give me special ability seeds, as well as a few people who often go out hunting.
We go out a lot, and if we have the ability to perceive plants, we should be able to identify more plants, and if we find something useful, we can bring them back directly.
Save yourself from bringing a bunch of useless stuff back every time.
The most important thing is that the range of the picking team is limited, far less than the range we walk, and we have access to more unknown plants in the forest, which is also more extensive......"
Yan said that it is both public-minded.
There are also selfish intentions.
But it makes sense overall.
Qiao Mu pondered for a while, and felt that it was time to compile a plant atlas, relying on abilities alone is not the same thing, or turning specific knowledge into the inheritance of civilization:
"Okay, you can bring a few people to me every night to study, I don't teach too much content, just teach you the basics, and wait until you have memorized and learned it at any time.
I'll give you the seed of the ability. ”
"Really...... Can it really be? ”
Yan was a little surprised, he thought that Qiao Mu was just joking just now, and he couldn't take it seriously.
Because in the past, when there were large tribes in the past, there would always be some contradictions between witches and tribal leaders, witches were reluctant to let the tribal leaders know their secrets, while the tribal leaders wanted to get the secrets of the witches, so as to increase their authority.
Conflicts between the two often erupt.
Yan didn't expect Qiao Mu to be so generous at all.
Even God's gift is willing to share.
This was a big surprise to him.
"In the future, anyone in the tribe who has made some contributions to the tribe can go to my disciples to study for a period of time, and when they pass my disciples' tests, they can get the seeds of the special ability I gave them to feel plants.
It's also fair.
And it is more conducive to the expansion of the tribe. ”
Qiao Muyan couldn't see Yan's careful thoughts.
However, Qiao Mu can see that everyone's respect for her is no longer limited to the fact that she has plant abilities, as long as she can make everyone's lives better and better, even if there are more people with plant abilities, it is useless.
Everyone will still only respect her.
And work hard to get abilities.
