The hemp rope net hunt was an amazing success.
Within two days, everyone in the tribe knew.
Everyone began to collect hemp rope and make a net.
More people began to look for juma and began to twist hemp rope.
With better hunting methods, anyone not stupid would know what to do.
What's more, the people of the Sun Tribe have very bright minds. It may be due to the influence of their lifestyle and diet, and their bodies are very different.
After the hunting method spread, Lin Yan felt that there was no need to worry about food in the cold season.
Once everyone has hunted the pika cubs and started breeding them, there is no need to worry about not having meat to eat.
Lao Hei came back in the evening, and Lin Yan asked him if he had any clues about the clay.
Lao Hei has been busy with this matter for the past few days, but has made no progress.
Lin Yan comforted him and told him not to be anxious and to take his time.
The next day, she opened her eyes and it was bright again.
She lent the net to Kurotsuchi, so Huahong didn't have to hunt with her, and she could get enough prey every time, which was enough for them to eat.
Huahong was squatting in front of the stove, motionless.
Lin Yan walked over and said, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Cracked." Huahong pointed to the stove. She was making broth when suddenly the stone mortar cracked, which shocked her.
When Lin Yan saw it, his expression changed.
This stone mortar was the only one in her house that could be used as a pot, and it couldn't be used if it cracked.
Now it's better, I don't have to drink the broth anymore. Lin Yan wanted to cry but had no tears. He wanted to die every day.
The two of them stuck a piece of meat on a wooden stick and roasted it on the fire. They had no choice but to eat.
After a simple meal, Huahong asked Mu Shi to help keep an eye on Lin Yan while she and Ye Zi went to find Shi Shi.
It is not easy to find stones that can be used to make stone pots. Without sharp tools to polish them, you can only find stones with natural grooves.
Every family in the tribe is looking for such a stone, but not everyone can find it.
The stone mortar in Lin Yan's family is shared with Ye Zi's family.
Looking at this situation, Ye Zi and Hua Hong dare not delay. If they can't find the stone pot, what will happen to the two children at home.
Adults can drink raw water and their bodies can handle it, but children are weak and will easily get sick if they drink raw water.
The concepts Lin Yan has instilled in everyone in the past few months have become deeply rooted in people's hearts.
There are so many children in the tribe, accounting for one-third of the population. If they are not raised well, it will be a huge loss.
She did some statistics and probably found the reason for the population surge of the Sun Tribe.
In the past few years, I have not moved around and have been living in this area, relatively stable and recuperating. There are more children, and although the survival rate is not high, there are still a lot of them.
Lin Yan knew all this in his heart. Nowadays, the most important thing is population. In this situation where manpower is paramount, the more people, the better.
She wants to improve her quality of life, and there are too many things to do, all of which require labor.
Therefore, people's diet must be improved so that more children can survive. This is the top priority.
There were more and more hemp nets, more pikas were hunted, and every family began to raise pika cubs.
Then, people discovered that the pups they raised could give birth to three or four in a litter when they grew up. If they continued to breed, they could completely raise pikas and rabbits at home. There is no need to hunt hard, fresh meat can be eaten at any time.
This discovery lifted the food crisis hanging over everyone in the tribe.
People no longer worry about not having food to satisfy their hunger, and everyone is smiling happily.
The only one who was unhappy was Lin Yan. She had encountered a bottleneck.
She couldn't find clay for making pottery, she had no pots to use, and no hot water to drink.
The only stone pot was also cracked, so I managed to get another one, but it was very difficult to use.
Others were content with this, but not her. In her opinion, her current life is no different from that of a savage.
But how can we solve the problem of equipment?
Without raw materials, nothing can be done. The most urgent task is to find various ores and clay.
It's been a month, and there has been no progress. Lin Yan's little face has become more and more serious.
Lao Hei went out early and came back late every day, and finally brought back a black stone as big as his head for Lin Yan.
It is a piece of coal, black and oily, shining in the sun.
She hurriedly asked where she found it, but she couldn't find the source.
It was picked up accidentally by a family and kept there for an unknown period of time. It was thrown away without any use.
Bai was happy. She still carefully collected the piece of coal for later use.
Lin Yan changed her mind and asked Lao Hei to dig soil everywhere.
The Maomu family has moved here, and there are only two of them. Just Maomu and his aunt.
Aunt Maomu is old and in poor health. She was injured when she gave birth to Maomu. Always sick.
Fortunately, Mao Mu was lucky and survived with difficulty. Now he is eighteen years old, tall and strong.
Mao Mu did not leave his mother alone, and relied on his brute force hunting to support his mother and mother.
He is very diligent, admires Lin Yan very much, and obeys orders. He didn't have to go out hunting every day, so he could just hang around Lin Yan.
Mu Shi was in poor health and was busy making baskets and twisting hemp rope every day. The person who took care of Lin Yan was replaced by Mao Mu.
On this day, Lin Yan asked Mao Mu to take her to the river to play.
The two came to the river, cleared a clearing, dug some mud pits, and found some large stone slabs to spread on the side.
After waiting for a while, Lao Hei came carrying four small baskets of soil.
Lin Yan poured the soil into small piles on the stone slab and asked Mao Mu to bring the water over with big leaves.
She started to move the mud with her hands and let Fat Bao test it.
The science and technology museum has a detection function, but the detection of inactive things requires contribution points.
"Fat treasure, how are you? Can this kind of soil be used?"
Fat Bao: "The ingredients are mixed, and the ingredients contained are inconsistent with the data."
Lin Yan tried them one by one, and the answers given by Pang Bao were all negative.
There is only one that is slightly related, but it is still quite different from real clay. Lin Yan didn't give up and asked Lao Hei where the soil was dug from and took her to see it together.
Lao Hei hesitated and said: "This one is further away. It was dug down there. No one lives there, so it's not safe."
"What are you afraid of? With you and Mao Mu here, let's be careful."
The two of them took Lin Yan there.
After walking northwest for almost three miles, we arrived at the place Lao Hei mentioned.
Few people come here, and the vegetation grows vigorously, covering the sky and closing the sun.
Lao Hei had been here before, so he boldly came over to give it a try.
When they arrived at the place, Lin Yan saw that Lao Hei was digging soil near a big rock.
No wonder it's different from the others.
She looked around but couldn't see anything, "Do you know where I can see high and far?"
The two of them pointed to the big tree on one side at the same time, and their meaning was self-evident.
Lin Yan was dumbfounded. How could she forget? He hurriedly said, "Take me up."
They both shook their heads at the same time.
Lao Hei advised: "The tree is very dangerous, you can't go up there."
"There are many bugs on the trees and they bite people, so we can't go there," Mao Mu said.
"You've been up there, right?" Lin Yan looked at Mao Mu with bright eyes.
Momu nodded, "You are too young to go up."
"Don't be afraid, just take me up."
Under Lin Yan's insistence, the two had to agree to take her to climb the tree.
I picked a big tree and let Mao Mu climb up to explore the way.
Lao Hei and Lin Yan were waiting below.
