As Lin Yan wrote, he talked about why it was written like this, and why there are lines connecting people. They are direct blood relatives.
The tribe respects women. The mother is sure, but the father is not.
It was confirmed that there was only one man in the second generation of A-Lan's family. After Lin Yan confirmed again and again, he wrote him next to A-Hong and wrote down their children below.
More than a dozen slates are filled with writing.
Alan's family returned home satisfied.
There were many people in the tribe, so Lin Yan didn't go out for three days, waiting at home to help most of the families write down their clan lines. Have them go back and practice writing their names while learning Arabic numerals.
The Huang Ye family had the largest number of people. They brought a whole rat and rabbit to Lin Yan, and the dead one had not been dealt with yet. Temporarily solved the meat problem of the Huahong family.
Lin Yan also led a group of children to learn counting.
The child learned to go back to his family.
The adults are busy during the day, and when night falls, they will practice names and learn counting around the fire.
She also took the opportunity to dig a pit with several children. In order to prevent the pikas and rabbits from escaping through the holes, she built it with stones and laid slabs underneath. She raised the two pika and rabbit cubs and threw some weeds into the pit to feed them. .
The name matter came to an end for the time being, and Lin Yan was ready to take back the piece of juma.
She specially found a few strong men to help, including Kurotsuchi. The hemp is so strong that only a strong person can break it with bare hands.
Let Aniang, Ye Zi, and a few women spread a small piece of river sand in front of the cave entrance, spread it with stone slabs as much as possible, and then picked big leaves and spread them on it.
Here we prepare to pile up the roe and process the pockmarked seeds later.
Lin Yan helped everyone write names and taught counting. Her status in people's hearts became very different. Everyone was happy to help her work.
With more people and greater strength, all the juma was recovered in just one morning.
People were curious about what Lin Yan wanted the juma for. She picked a bunch of pockmarks and peeled off the outer skin to reveal the pockmarks inside.
The pockmarked particles are larger than those in the book, about the size of peanuts, round, and can be eaten raw.
Lin Yan demonstrated it himself, biting open the pockmarked kernels with his teeth to reveal the white kernel inside, which had a good taste and a high oil content.
The others followed Lin Yan's example and started eating pockmarks.
It turns out that it is edible. It is different from the sweet and sour taste of wild fruits. It has a completely new taste. This is the smell of oil that Lin Yan was talking about.
After the roe has been exposed to the sun for a few days, the outer skin wrapping the pockmarks peels off, and the pockmarks fall off immediately after being gently knocked on the stone slab.
Find someone to help, knock out all the pockmarks and pile them together in one day. Cover it with big leaves if it rains.
The yield of hemp is very high, and a lot of hemp seeds are harvested from that small area. After dividing some among the people who came to help, there is still a lot left.
After the pockmarks were recovered, the adults were busy hunting, because the hot season was more than half over, and they had to prepare and store food for the cold season.
There were too many people going out and he couldn't go out. Lin Yan asked the adults to help bring back things they thought were different.
She didn't say anything specific, just anything that everyone thought was new and unfamiliar. It doesn't matter if it's a stone or a piece of grass.
These days, people all know that Lin Yan can recognize all things, and they have begun to read. When they are curious, they all agree with Lin Yan's request and promise to bring it back to her.
Without the help of adults, Lin Yan asked Mu Shi to find a dozen old people in the tribe who could not go out, plus a group of children, and began to peel the bark of the juma stems.
It took three days of peeling before all the transdermal skin was peeled off. The dried transdermal skin turned out to be dry heather gray, some were thick, some were thin, some were long and some were short.
Pick out the thin and soft inner skin and knead it into thin threads, and knead the thick and hard outer skin into thicker threads.
Next, twist two or three strands of thick wire together, and repeat this process until you get a thin hemp rope, about one meter long. Full of toughness, its firmness is not comparable to ordinary bark and straw ropes.
After seeing this process in person, the old people immediately understood and began to twist the hemp rope.
This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but fortunately, these people are idle and bored every day. They find everything they do novel and exciting, and they can endure loneliness.
In two days, a dozen old people each twisted out several hemp ropes of different lengths. The length can be freely controlled, and you can make it as long as you want.
The thick outer skin was used up, and the result was a few hemp ropes, and everyone was very excited.
Every day I can see the results made by my own hands, which gives me an extraordinary sense of accomplishment and makes everyone involved very satisfied.
Shuisheng has been rolling the hemp rope these days. He feels that doing this is much more interesting than going out.
When the thick leather was used up, he looked at the thin leather and asked, "What are these used for?" It must not be for twisting hemp rope, otherwise Lin Yan would have let everyone use it together.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "We'll find out tomorrow. Go back and prepare some smooth branches for tomorrow's use."
She found a branch nearby, buried it in the fire for a while, then took it out and pressed it with a stone to shape it. When it was completely cold, she peeled off the bark and got a smooth hard branch.
Then polish it on the stone and sharpen the two strips. A wooden stick is finished.
The whole process was very fast, and the children were amazed and immediately went home to try it out.
After the others left, Ye Ya approached Lin Yan and said, "Someone took the hemp rope away, don't care."
"Just take it away. It's a test product anyway. As long as everyone learns it, you can do it yourself in the future."
"Okay." Yeya was a little unhappy. It belonged to Lin Yan and they took it away without asking. He felt that this was wrong, but he didn't know what to say.
Lin Yan grabbed some grass and fed the rat and rabbit cubs, then set up a pot to make broth.
The food is too simple, either barbecue or broth every day. The taste is very average, not delicious. Only occasionally can we eat wild fruits.
I heard that wild fruits grow in places where there are many wild animals. The people in the tribe do not dare to go too far and are active nearby, mainly hunting rats and rabbits.
This is an experience passed down from generation to generation. Pika is the safest and will not be hurt even if it cannot be caught. But other beasts are different. They have strong attack power and are much more difficult to hunt.
After the bonus came back, Lin Yan immediately said, "Mom, you got a good harvest today."
"Yes." Huahong raised the pika in his hand, a complete one, "I met a hunting team today and gave one to us."
So that's it.
Huahong smiled and said: "It's for you. You have helped everyone so much. They send you food, and they come and go."
"Hehe, Grandma is also very powerful." Lin Yan smiled and picked up the hemp rope, "Grandma, look, this is a hemp rope. It is stronger than straw rope and tree bark. You can bring one with you when you go out tomorrow. Bundle firewood.”
After having a fire, people began to collect dead branches and burn them as firewood to prepare for the cold season.
Huahong agreed with a smile and started grilling meat.
Unlike my daughter, she likes barbecue and can never get enough of soup.
After eating and cleaning up, it’s time to go to bed.
People in the tribe never go out at night. It is said that it is very dangerous at night, as various animals come out to look for food. It is best to sleep in a hole.
Lin Yan began to exercise her mental strength. She would spend more than two hours practicing every day and it had become a habit.
