Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]

Writing is of great significance to the development of civilization.

In fact, only after the emergence of text as an information carrier and easy to spread, can civilization grow rapidly and vigorously.The transmission of information no longer depends on word of mouth, and the process of learning characters is also civilizing intelligence.

In fact, the rudiments of characters have already appeared among the orc tribes - drawing the general shape of things on the soil like stick figures is the source of the birth of pictographs.

If we want to let the characters of this world evolve naturally, we don't know how long it will take until a fully formed writing system comes out.

Lu Er plans to teach the orcs Chinese characters directly.

Of course, from a practical point of view, Lu Er did not intend to teach any complicated grammar, but only taught commonly used items, pronouns, and actions, at least to ensure that the orcs could record or convey information through simple words.

It's just that for the orcs in the original state, it would be too shocking to directly come up with a whole set of words.Lu You thinks that his IQ halo is not yet to such a level that he can convince the orcs that this set of characters was created by him.

Jiao instantly understood Lu You's worry, held Lu You's hand and rubbed it lightly, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "How about pretending that you can communicate with God and learn words from God?"

Lu You was stunned, and looked at Jiao with some surprise: "You..."

This guy doesn't seem to have any reverence for God?

I was born in an atheistic environment, and Jiao Mingming grew up in a cultural environment of totems and gods, so he would make such a disrespectful suggestion to the gods?

"God...actually feels different from those fake angels." Jiao picked up the earthen pot on the clay stove, poured a cup of hot water for Lu Wei, and thought about it, "Although I can't talk to God directly, I can accompany you. When Totem was in Totem, Totem complained to me, saying that God was always playing tricks on him, like a bad-hearted big boy—but it was very generous, and he shouldn’t care about such things.”

In fact, Lu You had been skeptical about the existence of the god in Jiao's mouth. He was stunned when he heard Jiao's words: "Then... what does God do?"

The reason why a god can be called a god should be that it can provide blessings to believers.

The virtual gods provide spiritual comfort, so they must always be portrayed as superior and omnipotent, and their personalities are mostly related to the environment of the god-worshiping culture. Primitive tribes like this should have a more irritable and irritable image. , Killing decisive natural disasters.

If the god that Jiao said had such a character, it would be difficult for people to feel fear... Could it be that God really exists?

"The totem didn't make it very clear." Jiao shook his head, "It just said that God provided us with the whole world."

It is a good way to push things that are difficult to explain to the illusory gods.Lu You frowned: "How can you pretend?"

He has absolutely no experience in pretending to be a ghost.

Jiao touched his chin and said with a final word: "Leave it to me."

……

Jiao's solution was to let Zhan, as the envoy of the Shentan tribe, "coincidentally" discover that Lu Er had the ability to communicate with the gods, and then held a simple sacrificial ceremony.

For this reason, Jiao went out and turned around several times, collected bird feathers of seven colors, weaved them into a beautiful feather crown, and put it on Lu Er's head with his own hands.

Since he met Lu Er, Lu Er has always advocated clean and simple appearance, and has hardly paid any attention to dressing up, simply walking around in monochrome clothes.

Like other young sub-beasts, even when they are busy, they will pay attention to hanging some jingling bones and teeth for decoration, as well as beautiful bird feathers given by the pursuing orcs.

In Jiao's eyes, his sub-beast is the best-looking sub-beast, and of course it deserves the prettiest attire.

This time, when he found an opportunity, Jiao put his mind to it. In addition to grinding the animal bones at home into trinkets, he also plucked the tail feathers of the birds near the tribe one by one.

Bald-bottomed birds have been seen around the tribe for a long time, and a few orcs who turned into birds and flew around the neighborhood almost suffered disaster.

Put on a pure white sweater and woolen trousers for Lu You, and hang rounded animal bone beads on Lu You's chest, wrists, and ankles, and finally a colorful bird feather crown.

Finally, he drew a flying mark on Lu Yi's eyes with the juice of mangrove.

Lu You, who was dressed up in a new way, lost a lot of his usual indifferent temperament, and added a bit of wild and sacred charm, as if he really served the gods; when he opened his eyes, the faint smile in his eyes narrowed the distance again, Rang Jiao stayed where he was and couldn't say a word.

It was the first time to dress up like this, and Lu Er was not used to it: "How is it?"

Jiao stared at him, feeling a little thirsty in his throat, and murmured: "It looks good."

Being watched so intently and enthusiastically by Jiao, Lu You pursed her lips, a blush appeared behind her ears, and her heart was quietly filled with joy.

——he would feel sweet and satisfied because of this orc's focused gaze.

Lu You thought to himself, this time he really fell.

Resisting the urge to hug Jiao, Lu You walked step by step on the temporary altar, holding the Xuancao, pretending to be serious, imitating the sacrificial movements that Jiao Hezhan trained him last night, and finally put the Xuancao He raised it above his head and lit it with a torch, watching the strange fragrance of the mysterious grass turn into ashes and fall.

These mysterious grasses were found by Zhan from the wild, and Lu Er had never seen them before. It is said that they are special plants that can only be used by the priests of the Shentan tribe.

The orcs who came with the two altar tribes below cut off the heads of several wild animals that had been caught in advance, and let the blood of the beasts spread on the ground.

In the primitive and savage sacrifice, when it should be such a sacred moment, Lu Er was thinking about the family and practical value of these mysterious grasses in his head.

Just when the black grass was completely burned out, Lu Er was about to let go of her hand when she suddenly felt the ring on her finger that had been silent for a long time vibrate slightly.

Then, Lu You's long deer ears moved slightly.

At that moment just now, he seemed to have heard a long and vague grunt, like the sigh of an old sick old man, or like a child with drooping hair cheering.

Listening carefully, there was no sound at all, as if it was just an illusion caused by the rush of the wind.

……

The ceremony was a success, and everyone took it for granted that Lu Er was able to communicate with God.

After all, Lu Er brought them too many surprises, and communicating with God was just one of them.

Then Lu Er announced that he had learned characters from the gods, and opened an "education class", requiring all orcs of the right age in the tribe to attend, and the old orcs and old Asian beasts were selected according to their interests.

Lu Er, the three orcs from the Shentan tribe, made no request.

Zhan was extremely curious about the words Lu Wei proposed, and took the initiative to participate in the class, but the other two orcs, one interested in sweaters and the other interested in food, did not attend.

It is a very headache to enlighten people who know nothing.

Lu You recalled his kindergarten lessons, compiled basic textbooks, and made a general curriculum arrangement.

In addition to literacy, Lu Er also arranged mathematics courses.

Mathematics is more important than literacy at the current stage.In the past, Lu Er briefly taught a few smarter orcs basic calculations, like the little fox Li, and now he can even serve as a little teacher.

In the process of Lu Er's "lesson preparation", a heavy snowfall announced the official arrival of the cold season.

The long and heavy snowfall ended the busy period before the cold season, and all the orcs stayed at home to rest comfortably.

The heated kang has played its due role, making the whole room warmer. The key is that there is no smoke and charcoal ash, and the covering space is still large, which is much better than the previous stove.

Thick adobe brick walls prevent the loss of heat, a small table is placed on the kang covered with soft animal skins, some dried meat and sweet potatoes are placed, and the processed animal hair is twisted into yarn in hand, and some delicate manual work is done. Have fun.

At this time, Lu You announced the start of the class.

It is definitely unrealistic to teach all the orcs at once. Lu Er divided them into classes, and each time he came to his house, he taught them how to write on the ground.

In terms of mathematics, after the class at Lu Er's, I will go to Li's for a second review.

Although there are not enough lectures, it is still no problem to correct homework.

Of all the "students", Kok is without a doubt the most serious.

He attends class with Lu Yi every day, holds a branch and writes with Lu Yi on the ground, thinks about it by himself after class, and even asks Lu Yi to have a small talk at night.

When Lu You was in the modern society, he had a lot of juniors and juniors, and there were not many hardworking students like Jiao.

For this reason, Lu Er is still a little curious: "You like reading so much?"

Jiao neatly wrote the word "Tian" on the ground, raised his head to look at Lu Yi, and touched his head: "I want to learn it early and help you teach."

It was really distressing for him to see Lu You repeatedly exhorting and checking one by one in class.

In the first few days, Lu Er's voice was a little hoarse after class, and he didn't dare to eat the spicy food he liked.

"And..." Jiao paused again, subtly embarrassed, his eyes were still looking at Lu You, but his voice lowered, "I want to know more about you."

These charming square characters are the crystallization of the world in which Lu Er was born.By learning these questions, Jiao felt that he was one step closer to touching the real and complete Lu Er.

Lu You was startled, her ears felt hot under the scorching gaze, and she couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll teach you more."

Jiao let out a "hmm" and scratched Lu You's palm lightly, his eyes lingered on Lu You's body for a while, and his throat moved slightly.

In fact, there was another reason he didn't say.

There is nothing to do at home in the cold season, and he hugs his Asian beast every day to be intimate. If he doesn't find something to distract himself, he may not be able to bear it long ago.

But no, now Lu You has a baby in her stomach.

He has to restrain himself.

……

Mang also participated in Lu You's enlightenment education.

Although his eyes can't see clearly, it doesn't delay his desire to learn how to read and write.

Because Mang just couldn't see clearly, not completely, Lu Er wrote the characters to be learned with thicker branches in front of his seat in normal class, and asked Mang to learn to trace with his fingers.

Mang is also very serious about studying, and he will turn into a fat bear in class - it is said that it is because his hearing is sharper and his memory is deeper after becoming a beast.

It's just that Zhan sitting next to the fat bear is a bit uncomfortable.

Because Mang took up more space after becoming a beast, he leaned against the furry body of the red bear, often listening to lectures, and saw a strand of red fur falling in front of him;

And after he stood up, he would always get a lot of bear hair on his body.

Zhan felt a little helpless: "Mang, isn't your hair loss a little too serious?"

The red bear turned his head to look at him, tilted his head and didn't quite understand.

Only then did Zhan realize that Mang's eyesight is not good, and he must not be able to see the shedding fur clearly, so he gathered up the fur on his body and put it on Mang's paw: "Smell it."

Only then did Mang realize that he moved his butt to the side, trying to stay as far away from Zhan as possible.

After class, Mang asked Lu Wei specifically, "Brother, did I lose a lot of hair during class?"

"Well, don't worry, it's normal." Lu You touched his head and said with a smile, "It means you're going to grow up."

When Mang lost his hair like crazy before, Lu You asked Teng worriedly, and Teng told him not to worry: "Mang has reached the puberty period, and the hair on his body will be replaced with the bristles of an adult bear."

He remembered that when he first came to this world, Mang was still the little boy standing at the door timidly calling "Brother"; but in just two years, Mang has entered the developmental stage and will soon be an adult.

Lu You felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and when he mentioned this matter to Jiao, Jiao was very happy instead.

Relying on his status as a younger brother, the little chubby bear crazily attracted Lu Wei with its soft red hair, and he has been unhappy watching it for a long time.

When Mang completely enters the puberty period, the fur on his body will be replaced.Judging from the current situation, Lu You doesn't have much interest in bristles.

It means that he will lose a furry "rival in love"!

Mang obviously thought of this too, and his face collapsed: "Could it be that my brother doesn't like me anymore?"

Lu You didn't think as much as they did, and was taken aback for a moment: "Why?"

Mang whispered: "Because I don't have Mao Mao anymore."

"You're just moulting, and it's not completely gone." Lu You couldn't laugh or cry, touched his head, and felt that the touch of Mang's hair had changed from the soft softness before to vigorous and hard , comforting him with a smile, "No matter what your Mao Mao becomes, you are still my younger brother."

After being comforted by Lu Er, Mang became much happier, and his face became bright and hungry.

"You remember to collect the fur so that you can knit it into a sweater later."

……

In addition to the calligraphy and numeracy classes, the daily special training for orcs did not stop.

The arrival of the war brought more novel training methods of the Shentan tribe, combined with the modern training experience provided by Lu Er, the orcs were in a painful and happy stage.

Seeing that Jiao was working so hard to train the orcs of the Redwood Tribe, Zhan frowned, and found a time to hold Jiao and ask privately: "Brother, do you plan to stay here forever?"

Jiao was a little strange: "What's wrong?"

His sub-beast is here, where is he going?

Zhan looked at him with hatred, wishing to shake the water out of Jiao's head: "Brother, after all, you are the holy beast and future leader of our altar tribe, why do you stay in this small tribe? "

The character's expression remained unchanged, and he glanced at him lightly: "What do you want to say?"

"I've already inquired clearly these days. These strange and good things in the Redwood tribe are all researched by green ears?" Zhan analyzed seriously, "Since he is your sub-beast, why should he stay in this small tribe? ? Wait for Lu Er to give birth to a cub. Wouldn’t it be nice to take him back to the Shentan tribe? Our tribe is much stronger than this small tribe in terms of population and territory. When your father gets old and gives you the leader, what do you think? Can you do anything?"

Jiao looked at the younger brother, his eyes were unclear, and he suddenly asked: "You don't want to be the leader?"

Zhan froze for a moment: "What?"

"If I don't go back, the leader will be yours."

Only then did Zhan realize that he was furious, and almost wanted to punch the corner: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who won't let my brothers come back for the sake of being the leader! I will also snatch it upright!"

Jiao looked him up and down, and hummed: "When I was young, you would grab everything I had."

"I also snatched that with my own strength!" Zhan was indignant, "And when did you let me snatch it?"

Every time he went to snatch Jiaojiao's food, he ended up being severely beaten by Jiaojiao!

Talking about the past when they were young, the atmosphere between the two brothers eased a lot.

Zhan was silent for a while, and asked again: "Brother, what are you thinking?"

Jiao raised his head and looked at the snow-filled sky, then patted the brick wall next to him lightly, a gleam of warmth flashed in his Bitan-like eyes: "I have spent here... well, if you do the math, there is More than ten years."

He turned his head, "The Redwood Tribe gave me a place to stay."

Zhan subconsciously wanted to explain: "The tribe expelled you in the first place to..."

"I know." Jiao interrupted him, "I don't mean to blame the tribe, but I am indeed used to the life of the Redwood tribe; besides..."

Jiao's expression became more serious, and he looked at his younger brother seriously, "Do you think Lu Er is my vassal? Wherever I want to take him, he will follow me?"

Zhan was stunned again.

In this era of the weak and the strong, sub-beasts without powerful combat capabilities are in most cases vassals or even slaves of orcs.

Wealthy and powerful like the altar tribe, there is not much pressure on food and clothing, and the status of the sub-beasts is not bad, and most things depend on the opinions of their partners and father and brother.

Zhan is a little hard to understand Jiao's thoughts.

"Do you think that Lu...Lu Er has to rely on me to survive?"

Zhan Gang wanted to say "yes" without hesitation, but stopped when the words came to his lips.

If, like most other tribes, food is all dependent on hunting, then the weak and weak sub-beasts must rely on other people to survive; but under Lu Er's hands, the land can grow rich food, which tastes far better than wild animal meat. Well, I raised livestock myself, and even built a solid wall...

The indispensable position for the orcs seems to be only the protection of personal safety.

However, in general, wild beasts would not easily approach a tribe with torches on, and with that powerful crossbow...

Zhan opened his mouth, suddenly feeling speechless.

After a while, he sighed: "Brother, why did you find such a sub-beast?"

Jiao smiled, and his brows and eyes were full of complacency: "I just like him."

Zhan looked at his brother who exuded a strong sweet and sour smell, and said sourly: "Find a sub-beast and sacrifice yourself to this small tribe, and you are the only one who can do it."

"The Redwood Tribe will not always be so small." Jiao is very confident about this, "It will become bigger and bigger, and one day it may even surpass the Altar Tribe."

He looked at Zhan, with a sneer in his eyes, "It's because you saw this that you persuaded me to bring Lu Er back to the Shentan tribe, right?"

Zhan hummed and declined to comment.

"It's useless for you to worry about this matter. The Redwood Tribe will not be the enemy of the Altar Tribe." Jiao waved his hand, "Why don't you think about how we can cooperate."

After the two of them talked, Jiao suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Zhan, and added with a serious expression, "By the way, there is one more thing - about the leader of the Shentan tribe... If I go back, you will definitely not Might beat me."

After speaking, he patted Zhan on the shoulder, turned and left.

war:"……"

I really want to kill my brother.

Too bad it can't be beat.

……

In order to train vigilance, Horn occasionally summons the orcs to gather suddenly at night.

The first half of the night when Lu Yi fell asleep, he slept very steadily, and he was easy to wake up in the second half of the night. Jiao got up in the first half of the night. Training.

The orcs who had a day's class during the day were dragged out by the horns while yawning, with sandbags tied to their arms and legs, and they were allowed to go home after the special training until dawn.

When Jiao came back with Yong, Lie, and Zhan, Lu Er was leaning against the door watching the snow.

Seeing them come back, Lu Er went back to the house and brought a pot of ginger soup, smiling: "Drink some ginger soup."

Dispel cold and keep warm, avoid catching a cold.

Lie and Yong also came over to rub the ginger soup.

Lu Er looked them up and down, hesitated: "Your clothes...?"

Looking over at the corner, he noticed that Lie was wearing a tight gray sweater and Yong was wearing a loose orange sweater.

In the past, the two of them exchanged sweaters with each other, but they did not expect to change them today.

Because the color of the sweater was the same as that of their hair, it looked very harmonious, and the drowsy orcs in special training didn't notice it.

Compared with horns, Lu You saw more.

——Yonghelie looks like they panicked and put on the wrong clothes when they got up...

He squinted his eyes, and asked coldly: "Yong, do you still need to treat the torn herbs?"

Yongzheng took a cup of hot ginger soup from Lie's hand, and was about to drink it, when he was startled by Lu Er's words, his hands trembled, and the ginger soup splashed on his hands, and he was scalded into a leopard with a loud "ow". .

The leopard flicked its paw, licked it with its tongue, and looked at Lu You with fear.

Lu You's eyes were attracted by the body of the leopard.

He looked at the smooth and smooth figure of the leopard in surprise: "Yong, where is the sweater on your body?"
