Huahong held the fish in one hand and Lin Yan in the other, walking back while talking to Lin Yan.
In fact, she also knew that Lin Yan had just survived a cold season and was still very young, but since her daughter asked, she had to tell her this early.
It turns out that the Sun Tribe respects the mother and lives in a matrilineal group.
The more children the women in the tribe give birth to and survive, the larger the family group becomes.
When there are more people, they will naturally occupy the territory by the river.
And the bonus mother-in-law died early, and her father didn't care about her. She grew up alone and could only occupy a place on the edge.
In the Sun Tribe, the more women a family has, the higher their status.
Women are fertile and can give birth to more children, so women are respected.
The men of the tribe make a living by hunting. In order to continue the next generation, they often travel around.
Of course, in a family with many women, in addition to the boys born in the family, most men will also choose to be attached.
To put it simply, in a family where women are respected, the mother of the child is very sure, but the father is not sure who it is.
They have migrated to this place for six cold seasons, a period of relative stability.
The food that men in the tribe hunt is divided among the families from which the men come. The families with the largest number of people also have the most resources.
Generally speaking, fertile females will be allocated food first, followed by strong males who will go out to hunt.
Next came the older children and the remaining women, with the old, weak, sick and disabled last.
Hua Hong already belongs to the old, weak, sick and disabled. She was able to become pregnant again at her old age, which surprised many people.
Lin Yan asked Pang Bao to calculate Hua Hong's age, but he was only thirty years old, and he was already old, weak, sick and disabled.
Huahong was actually very happy. Lin Yan's birth gave her hope.
Lin Yan is a girl. As long as she can grow up safely, she will have someone to rely on.
If it is a boy, he will go to another family to continue the next generation when he grows up. If he is very powerful, the care for his mother-in-law will be limited, and he can only survive.
After hearing what A Niang said, Lin Yan suddenly felt very stressed.
Grandma is treating her as a life-saving straw. If she can't survive, Grandma will be miserable in her later years.
She hugged Huahong's neck tightly and comforted: "Don't worry, Mom, I will take care of you when I grow up."
"Hahaha, okay." Huahong smiled heartily. This child was indeed smart and different, allowing her to see infinite possibilities.
Arriving at the door of the house, Lin Yan said, "Mom, I want to stay outside. It's too dark in the cave."
Huahong readily agreed, letting her crawl on the ground and play by herself while she went to deal with the fat fish.
When she just saw the fat fish, she glanced at the science and technology museum and heard Fat Bao's voice.
"Primitive grass carp detected, included, reward contribution value 3."
Lin Yan lay on the broken animal skin that had just been wrapped around her, and casually covered herself with the large canna leaves she had just picked.
After Aniang put her down, she was naked.
"Fat treasure, these weeds are also new species, why are there no rewards?"
In Lin Yan's view, everything here is primitive and should be genetically different from that of later generations.
Fat Bao: "The wild grass has been tested and the genetic similarity is over 95%, so it is not included in the collection."
Lin Yan understood immediately, "Only if the genetic similarity is below 95%, it will be included, right?"
Fat Bao: "Yes. If a new species is discovered, the reward contribution value depends on the situation. Generally speaking, it is very high."
Lin Yan understood that her first goal now was to learn to walk without having to stand on all fours.
During her boring time in the cold season, she read a lot of books and made a plan based on the current situation.
Once she can walk and have mobility, she can start implementing the plan.
Her plan is very clear. The first thing to deal with is the fire. She doesn't want to eat raw flesh and blood.
Now she is almost six months old. In addition to drinking milk, my mother-in-law will feed her some wild fruits, which are sour and sweet.
After a few months, when the baby is weaned, he will probably start eating meat.
After working hard for more than ten days, Lin Yan learned to walk. Although he was stumbling, he was able to stand on his legs and would not fall down.
Before the joy of learning to walk had passed, Hua Hong took out a piece of fresh meat and fed it to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan firmly refused. She only ate wild fruits.
Huahong advised: "You must eat meat as soon as you can walk, otherwise you will have no strength. My mother is doing this for your own good."
"Mom, I want to eat fruit, not meat." Lin Yan said with a bitter look on his face, "Mom, is the meat delicious?"
"..." Huahong was silent for a while, "Meat doesn't smell good, but eating it can make your body stronger. If you don't eat meat, you won't grow."
"Auntie, I don't want to eat now. I'll eat it when I want to, okay?"
Hua Hong had no choice but to accept it. But she didn't give up and kept feeding her every day, but never succeeded.
Under such pressure, Lin Yan stepped up the process and kept experimenting with how to successfully ignite the fire.
If there is no fire, she will be driven crazy by A Niang.
She found many ways to obtain fire from the book. The first thing she tried was to drill wood to make fire, but she tried many times without success.
Then he hit it with rocks, preparing to start a fire due to friction, and a few sparks were scattered here and there.
After struggling for more than ten days, there was no progress.
Practice is much more difficult than theory.
Lin Yan had to modify her plan. She looked up at the increasingly hot sun and had a new idea.
With my short legs, I collected a pile of flammable fireweed, cogon grass, dry leaves, etc., found a large stone slab, piled it together, and exposed it to the sun.
After five days of drying, she placed the picked dead branches and leaves around the stone slab in preparation for the follow-up.
Rubbing the weeds and leaves that had been exposed to the sun for several days with his hands, Lin Yan felt that the time had come.
While Huahong was resting, she pulled Aniang over, handed over two rough stones as big as her palms, and asked Huahong to rub hard on the stone slab.
Although Huahong was puzzled, seeing that her daughter insisted on making a fire, she just pretended to play with her child when nothing happened.
The two mothers tossed for a long time, and finally got some sparks. The sun was shining, and the heat was so hot that they had to rest for a while.
Huahong found a red apple, took a big bite of it, let her daughter grind her teeth, and ate the rest.
Looking at the apple segment in Xiao Hei's hand, Lin Yan really didn't know whether to eat it or not.
Grandma is so uncouth.
When Huahong saw that her daughter was not eating, she didn't care. This daughter was indeed different from ordinary children.
I often feel alone in a daze, not knowing what to think, frowning from time to time, and talking to myself from time to time.
Hua Hong didn't pay much attention, she just wanted to make sure the child wasn't hungry.
After resting, Lin Yan pestered her to continue lighting the fire.
After nearly half an hour, a few sparks finally fell from the pile of dry leaves that had been exposed to the sun, and a small flame ignited.
The flower red looked very magical. Just when I was about to touch it with my hand, the flame suddenly grew in size in the blink of an eye.
A wave of heat hit her face, and Huahong was squatting and sitting on the ground in shock.
He shouted out loud: "Sky Fire, it's Sky Fire."
After shouting, he immediately realized that his daughter was still there. He picked up Lin Yan and ran ten meters away.
Looking back at the burning flames, his eyes were full of horror.
