[Infrastructure] After being mistaken for a god

From the day when the whole tribe ate bread, young Dan had successfully completed the task of "raised dough", handed over the "grown" dough to Huan, and became Yi Nan's little follower again.

It's just that Yi Nan found that Dan no longer followed her every day as he did at the beginning.Before noon, this little guy would meet up with a few children of the same age in the tribe, and everyone would leave the village together and return in the afternoon.

Yi Nan didn't care: children of this age should love to play as much as future generations.

And she's busy with her own business: These days she's been spending time with the women of the tribe, talking about how to make clothes.

Most of the people here still wear tanned animal skins, but some people start to knead flax fibers into twine, weave them into cloth, and wrap them around their bodies.The women of the tribe are very interested in such fabrics.

Flax also has another function, which is to twist it into ropes - logging, dragging heavy objects, and binding various shapes of flints on agricultural tools... All of these must use hemp ropes twisted from flax.

Yinan found many flax plants for fiber on the hills near the tribal camp.Huan and the other women nodded their heads to show that they all knew what Yinan said.

Yinan immediately asked: "Then why not collect some seeds, or simply dig out the flax on the mountain and transplant it near the village, so that you don't have to bother to pick flax on the mountain in the future?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence all around, and the women looked at each other in blank dismay.

No one seems to have thought about this question: In addition to foods such as wheat and peas, can even flax...is it possible to grow it?

After a while, Huancai asked cautiously: "My respected Goddess Yi Nan, you don't just care about food...do you also care about what you wear?"

this……

Yi Nan was speechless for a moment, and finally chose to nod: "Yes, I will take care of all the planting."

——Isn’t it just a matter of business scope?

The women all smiled at once, probably for them, "eating" and "clothing" are equally important matters.Huan sat next to Yi Nan more affectionately, pointed to the off-road suit on Yi Nan, and said, "Can we also use flax to make your clothes in the future?"

Yi Nan choked for a moment, continued to nod, and said sincerely, "Of course!"

Before the appearance of artificial synthetic fibers, flax has always been an excellent fabric resource. The fibers are light and large, hygroscopic and anti-corrosion.

As long as you dare to think and do it, you will have everything, including bread and off-road clothing.

"In the future... I will definitely be able to."

So the women of the tribe took some time to go out together, went to the nearby mountains, dug out many complete plants from the soil, and transplanted them to the front and back of the houses in the village.

The number of transplants is not much.Yi Nan visually estimated that the flax fibers produced by these transplanted flax might only be enough to weave a flax handkerchief or something.

But when you just start growing a certain type of crops, you really need to go through such a process.People gradually become familiar with the temperament of these plants, and select the most suitable plants for further breeding... After a few years, people can naturally master the skills of planting them.

Great start - Inan thought.

Women planted flax, talking and laughing, dreaming of the gorgeous and flowing clothes they would wear in the future.

It was almost noon at this time, and Huan offered to take Yinan to visit their twine inventory.When the two entered the tribe's warehouse together, Huan was suddenly surprised: "Hey, where is the rope? The rope is gone?"

Although it is just a simple piece of rope, it is also extremely important in the life of the tribe. The three safety ropes that Yi Nan took out at the beginning made the whole tribe envy for a long time.

Now that the rope is inexplicably lost, Huan is very anxious.

But Yi Nan pointed to the ground and said, "The case has been solved."

Huan: "...huh?"

Yi Nan had no choice but to explain what the word "solve the case" meant: "Look at these footprints, are they Dan and the others?"

On the ground of the warehouse, there were a few small footprints with black mud left behind, which were obviously left by the children.

Huan Deng elongated her face angrily: "These careless guys!" She told Yinan: "They are always playing in the open space behind the village at this time."

Huan led Yi Nan to find Dan, and Yi Nan also wanted to see what Dan was doing while avoiding him every day.

"Dan, work hard, work hard, aim!" A group of children clamored behind the village.

Yi Nan and Huan leaned forward from behind, just in time to see Dan wrapping up the hemp rope in his hand, and a stone was firmly tied to one end of the hemp rope.

The rocks held by the hemp rope were in the air, spinning faster and faster. Dan suddenly turned his wrist, changing the direction of rotation of the rocks.He let go immediately.

I saw the stone flying out with a "swish", drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, and falling far away.

A wooden stick was erected in advance at the place where the stone fell.The wooden stick was hit by a stone right on the ground, and it bounced out of the ground with a "bang", and fell to the ground.

Yinan: ...The skills of the Slinger are lit up!

The children all cheered and ran to Dan: "Dan, you are amazing!"

Dan turned his head and said, "You all come and try..."

He saw his mother and Yi Nan standing behind the crowd, his face flushed with excitement, and he hurried towards Yi Nan.

"My God, I have the ability to protect you now, and I won't let you face the brave men of Kashan alone again!"

It seems that Yi Nan stepped forward to deal with Kashan alone, which made the little boy blame himself for a long time.

Yi Nan nodded, turned to Huan and said, "Dan and the others use these ropes for serious business, don't blame them!"

Huan came to his senses at this moment, and nodded with a smile on his face, indicating that the right to use these ropes belongs to Dan and the others for the time being.

Yi Nan turned to Dan again, and pointed to the children beside Dan: "The strength of one person is not enough. The combined strength of all of you can fight against more enemies. Hurry up and pass on your experience to your companions." !"

Dan nodded vigorously and said loudly: "Don't worry, with this move, we will definitely defeat the brave men in Kashan."

"The brave man who defeated Kashan?" Suddenly, Ku spoke from behind the crowd with a mocking tone, "Only you?"

Ku and the brave men in the tribe were absent for the past two days, and they should have gone hunting.Now they return with a full load of prey, large and small, and it seems that they have gained a lot.

It's just that Ku heard his son say such a "big talk" without thinking, so he naturally wanted to go forward and expose it.

This time, Lian Huan couldn't stand it anymore, and said to her husband angrily, "You should see what your son is capable of before talking about him!"

Yi Nan made eye contact directly: Dan, come on——

Danden immediately gained confidence, strode forward, took another sling, swung it vigorously in his hand, and threw it with all his might.This time it was farther than the "directed throw" just now. The stone dragged the hemp rope, like a bird with a long tail, flying towards the distance at high speed without looking back.

"Not bad!"

"Dan can shoot like this, let's practice our accuracy... It will be very useful whether it is hunting or fighting in the future."

The warriors of the tribe talked a lot.

Ku, however, had a gloomy face and said nothing: Danlu's trick was mentioned to him before, and he heard that it was taught by Yinan, so he didn't care at all.

After all, even if Yi Nan is a true god, she is only a goddess, taking care of the planting, and giving instructions to women in cooking and making clothes, that's about it.

But he really didn't expect Yi Nan to teach his son to fight!

But Ku's foresight as a brave man is not bad. He saw that just adding an extra rope to the stone can greatly improve the ability of long-range attack: before the opponent even gets in front of him, he is knocked down That's it--how much this will increase their chances of winning, Cui doesn't even have to think about it.

This woman...goddess, might really have some skills.

But Ku is not ready to trust Yi Nan completely. He does not want Yi Nan to lead his tribe to gradually deviate from the way of life that has been passed down for many generations, and he does not want the tribe to lead to an unknown future.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Ku saw Yi Nan walking towards him with bright eyes.

Ku: ...What's going on?

Yi Nan walked past Ku directly and came among the brave men.

Among the prey brought back by the brave men, a pair of goat mother and son were brought back intact.The ewe lowered its head extremely docilely, and the lamb was probably not long after it was born, and its limbs were still soft.

Other ferocious and violent rams with a pair of sharp horns trying to attack human hunters, either successfully broke through and flew away, or were brought back lifelessly by the brave, and soon transformed into roasted whole lambs.

Yi Nan reached out to pick up the lamb, and the ewe raised her head, bleating at Yi Nan.Yi Nan reached out and touched the ewe's head, and said with a smile, "I won't treat you badly."

"Braves, can I?" Yi Nan asked the braves for this pair of "prey".

Goats can not only provide meat, milk and fur, but the dried sheep manure can also be used as fuel-this is an excellent breeding object.What's more, this pair of goat mother and son are obviously docile.Collect similar individuals, form a population and reproduce, and the entire population will become more and more docile.

The beautiful "goddess" begged with soft words, how could anyone refuse?The brave men nodded one after another, asking Yinan to do his own thing.Some warriors volunteered to Yi Nan, and if they caught ewes with cubs or lambs, they would be brought back intact to her.

Only Ku remained sullen and silent, looking at Yi Nan suspiciously, as if trying to figure out what kind of medicine Yi Nan was selling in his gourd.

Yi Nan didn't care about Ku's suspicion and distrust at all.

After all, the best way to convince Ku is to show him an increasingly powerful and prosperous tribe.

Have a nice weekend!

In the comment area, there are many questions about why the prehistoric society in the article is not a matriarchal society. Here is a unified answer:

①The Sumerian civilization itself is a patriarchal civilization, and women have a high status in the civilization, but in comparison, more high positions in society are assumed by men; the Sumerian kings start from the ancient kings before the flood , that is, a male becomes a king (but there are exceptions, there was a female king in the third dynasty of Kish on the Sumerian king list, around the 24th century BC.)

In addition, in Sumerian mythology, from the creator god to the main god, men accounted for the absolute majority in number.Goddesses are considered to be consorts or children of male gods in most cases.

②7000 BC is not a particularly long time as everyone imagines. The Paleolithic Age began 300 million years ago, and the Neolithic Age began in West Asia from 9000 BC to 8000 BC.The matrilineal society is generally believed to have existed from the late Paleolithic to the early Neolithic.The present time period of this article probably belongs to the middle Neolithic period.

③When the author conceived this part of the content, in order to take the Sumerian civilization as a whole and tell a story from birth to prosperity, he did not choose to separate a separate section of the history of the Sumerian tribe in the "matriarchal" society.Therefore, it is assumed in the article that when Yi Nan first arrived, the tribe worshiped patriarchal ancestors, and the sacrifices were mainly male members-but this situation changed after Yi Nan arrived (see Chapter 18 for details). Collision and influence on primitive culture.The characters and civilizations in the book are not static.

This article welcomes everyone to discuss in the comment area, and everyone is welcome to express their opinions, but please don't have the impression of "preconceived ideas". Maybe you have just complained, and the characters have changed unexpectedly?
