Chapter 1196: Simple Primitive Man

For the giant natives who were still in the primitive era, language and writing were of great significance, but what really related to the quality of life was the use of fire.
After all, even without that standardized language, these giant natives are not completely unable to communicate. The text is used for recording, and the recorded information is also for future generations to see, and it is difficult to reflect an important role in improving the current life.
However, whether it was intentional or unintentional, the old man said that the language and characters obtained in this dream were gifts from the gods. In this way, even if the other natives don't see the importance of language and writing, they still have to worry about the face of the gods.
In fact, Ye Zan chose the old man and the young man here, and imparted different knowledge to them respectively, which was not a random choice.
Let’s talk about the elderly first. They have basically lost their labor force in the ethnic group. To put it cruelly, they are not worth much. Note that this refers to the phenomenon caused by low productivity in this primitive society, and the majority of virtuous people should not randomly substitute it.
Therefore, in the heart of the old man, he hopes that there is something that can reflect his own value. Not to mention the pursuit of loftiness, at least after showing a certain value, he can get more food, and he doesn't have to worry about sleeping at the entrance of the cave.
However, for an old man, things that need to reflect value must not be physical things. If this old man can still achieve the same value as those middle-aged people in matters that require physical strength, then there is no need for Ye Zan and the others to "worry".
In addition, even the old people in the primitive era have the same habit as the old people in other eras, that is, they like to tell people about the events of the past. This is a kind of nostalgia for one's past, a proof of one's own existence, and a way to pass the boring time. It is an inevitable choice under the combination of internal and external needs.
To put it bluntly, the elderly often have a strong desire to express, whether it is to tell the current people, or to write it down for future people. On Ye Zan's side, teaching the old man the language and characters is equivalent to giving the old man the best tool for expression. In order to express better, the old man must put his heart into popularizing the language and characters, otherwise how can it be regarded as expression if only he knows it.
As for that young man, if Ye Zan gave the other party language and words, the other party might not spread the word as hard as the old man. Teenagers in the primitive era will also have some mentality and substance that all teenagers have, such as being full of curiosity about everything, such as loving to play, making trouble and eating.
So, for the little one, Ye Zan gave the method of using Huo, which is actually from the perspective of curiosity and appetite, so that the young man can pay more attention to the experience of this dream.
Now, the old man told everyone about his dream, which indeed attracted everyone's attention. Moreover, because of the gift of the "God", the old man has become a priest-like existence in order to be able to communicate with the "God".
Not to mention that the old man was talking with everyone over there, the young man who also gained knowledge in the dream had already come outside the cave alone at this time.
The boy stood at the entrance of the cave, looked around, and soon found the kind of stone he had used in his dream not far away.
If the education is received in a waking state, the teenager may not pay attention to what kind of stone he used to start the fire. He may have to try all kinds of stones again. Maybe he is lucky and finds the right stone, or maybe he is unlucky and gives up after a few times.
However, because the dream implanted all accurate information into the boy's memory. The young man didn't need to think too much at this time, he knew what kind of stone he should look for instinctively. Although he himself didn't know why, and he didn't even think about "why" at all.
The boy found the right stone, and found enough of the right hay,
He held a stone in each hand and hit it with a "slap".
Here, there is one more point that needs to be explained, because the knowledge of using fire is infused through dreams. Therefore, the boy is not as clumsy as a beginner. Although it is actually the first time to start a fire, his movements seem to have thousands of times of experience. So, with only a few "snapping" hits, the sparks splashed smoothly on the haystack.
As the blue smoke rises, the flames also rise with the sound of "crackling". The boy put the two stones aside, and the "experienced" quickly brought firewood, and placed them one by one on the pile of hay. Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and there was no possibility of it being extinguished automatically, the boy found stones to surround a stove just like he did in his dream.
But this time, when surrounding the stone stove, the young man "had a brainstorm" to improve the stove, leaving a stove underneath for adding firewood.
"What's going on? What are you doing!"
Suddenly, before the boy could find the stone slab, there were surprised and even frightened questioning voices from the adults behind him.
After all, for these primitive people, fire is a very dangerous force. They have seen the scene of those beasts being roasted into charcoal after the forest fire. Even though those roasted beasts seemed to taste better than raw ones, there was no thought of going out to touch the fire. In their thinking, fire is also the power of the gods, and mortals who touch fire will attract the wrath of the gods.
The young man was startled at first, but when he turned around and saw the shock on everyone's faces, he grinned again, pointed to the stove and said, "Fire, barbecue, delicious!"
If it was just like this, maybe the boy's final fate would be to be severely beaten by an adult and warned that he would never play with fire in the future. However, just when the adults couldn't hold back and were really about to make a move, the old man who had become the "priest" of the tribe separated from the crowd and came out.
"Fire, this is also a gift from the gods!" The old man said loudly to everyone.
That's right, although a child who is usually skinny, but has never done anything excessive, how could he suddenly do such a scary thing? When everyone heard the old man's words, they immediately found a "reasonable" explanation for this series of irrationality.
Seeing the young man standing there frightened, the leader of the tribe finally walked over, touched the top of the young man's head with his hand, and asked, "Then what's next? Did the gods tell you how we are going to use this fire to cook the food."
The young man didn't know about gods, gifts, etc., but seeing that he was not beaten, he knew that what he did was allowed. He turned back to look at the stove, and added some firewood from the bottom of the stove to revive the fire inside, and then said to the leader: "I want a stone, flat and flat, and it's better to be very thin." , can be built on top of this."
So, the adults found the stones that met the requirements quickly, and the young man chose the most suitable one, and put it on the stove where the flames sprang out of Lao Gao.
Not long after, just like what happened in the dream, the stone slab became very hot under the lick of the flame.
"The meat, put it on top, turn it over again, it's delicious!" The boy said to the leader again at this time.
However, the prey that was hunted yesterday has been shared among everyone, so where do we go to find the prey now?
Why is it so "coincidental"! Just when these giant natives were in trouble for their prey, a goat-like animal suddenly broke in. Although the goat is not small in size, it is only a herbivore after all, and still belongs to the bottom of the world's food chain.
The appearance of the goat was of course caused by Ye Zan and the others. In order for these giant natives to understand the importance of fire, of course it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot to let them feel the benefits. Therefore, Ye Zan used a little trick to drive such a goat to the sight of the natives.
After the goat broke in, it didn't "catch it" directly, but when it saw the natives, it immediately turned around and wanted to escape from this dangerous place. However, how could those giant natives who were worrying about what to roast watch the prey that came to their door run away.
As a result, several giants who were in charge of hunting on a daily basis almost instinctively chased after the goat. Not long after, they were seen coming out of the woods, and the goat was carried on the shoulders by one of them. They didn't wonder at all why the goat appeared here, and why it was so easy to be caught by themselves and others.
Although the size of that goat was quite huge compared to "normal", it was just a sheep in front of this group of giants. In other words, such a huge goat is actually not enough to fill the stomachs of so many giants in the tribe.
However, after all, it is to try to use fire, and there is no need to really feed everyone, just taste the taste of a slate barbecue.
Although they are "primitives", they also know that there must be a special place for slaughtering animals by virtue of their accumulated life experience. Otherwise, the bloody smell would easily attract ferocious beasts, and at the same time, it would also make the living place smelly. The giants moved the goat to the slaughtering place, and with sharp stones and their own brute force, they cleaned up the goat in no time.
Someone moved the dismembered goat to the stove, and the leader of the tribe said to the boy playing with fire, "Here comes the meat!"
The boy didn't say much, but swallowed hard, and then selected a suitable size of meat, and put it on the stone slab that covered the stove. As the piece of meat was put on the stone slab, there was a sound of "呲呲啦啦" at the scene, and at the same time, wisps of water vapor and smoke also rose.
"This, how can I eat it?" The leader asked the boy curiously.
"One time, turn it over again, and you can eat it." The boy replied while observing the meat on the stone slab. When he felt that it was time to turn over the meat on the stone slab, he immediately picked up the piece of meat with a wooden stick and turned it over in the air.
Although this is the first time for the boy to barbecue in reality, but with the experience instilled in the dream, his skills are probably not inferior to any barbecue master. It's just that they don't have much seasoning yet, and the teenager doesn't have the experience and memory to "awaken" the seasoning, so the taste of this piece of meat is definitely not delicious.
Soon, the piece of meat began to emit aroma, and the boy poked and picked it with the stick again, and picked the piece of meat on the stick. Although he really wanted to taste this piece of barbecue, he still didn't forget who was the boss, so he turned around and handed it to the leader next to him, saying, "Okay, you can eat it."
The tribal leader, smelling the aroma of barbecue, was already so greedy that he couldn't stop his saliva. Seeing that the boy handed him the first piece of barbecue, he didn't try to be polite, and just reached out and took the piece of barbecue. However, the boy was holding the barbecue with a wooden stick, but he didn't go to catch the stick, but directly grabbed the barbecue. This time, even though the skin was rough and the meat was thick, he was scalded until some of the meat was thrown out.
"Fire, it's very hot, use this..." Seeing that the leader's hands were burned back and forth, the young man quickly handed over the wooden stick in his hand.
However, after doing this a few times, I don't know if it's because I got used to it, or the barbecue is not so hot. The leader ignored the wooden stick handed by the young man, grabbed the barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth. As he bit his teeth up and down, oil dripped down the corner of his mouth immediately.
"Well... delicious... really delicious!" The leader said to the boy and the others with a happy face while chewing on the barbecue in his mouth.
Although this barbecue does not use any seasoning, and strictly speaking, it is not very cooked, but it is much better than the smelly and fishy raw meat. And having said that, even if the barbecue is not fully cooked, it is at least half-done, which is not much different from the steak eaten by "civilized people".
Seeing that the leader affirmed the deliciousness of the barbecue, the others couldn't hold back immediately, and the cut or torn pieces of meat were handed to the fire-playing boy one after another.
In this way, such a "small" tribe of a hundred or so people successfully accepted language, writing and the use of fire.
"Looks like it's quite easy!" Ye Zan and the others who were hiding aside looked at the reactions of the giant natives and gained a lot of confidence in this method of preaching.
Of course, this current tribe is only a part of the giant natives in the barbaric world, or to be precise, an extremely small part. To truly achieve the goal of "preaching the Word", Ye Zan must at least guide more than half of the giant natives on the road of cultivating Taoism and civilization step by step.
"Mumu, and Miao Miao, we have to find another tribe next. I don't know, after you leave here, do you still have enough influence over those two giants?" Ye Zan asked the Lin family siblings asked.
"Don't worry, Brother Ye, no matter how far away you are, it's just a thought in the dream. In their dreams, we have already planted a brand. As long as we don't leave this world, we can control their dreams at any time. "Lin Mumu said confidently.
