Lin Jiang had been observing outside the tribe for several days. Since the young men of the tribe brought back the prey, they had not gone out again. Lin Jiang guessed that they lacked food preservation technology, so they would not go out hunting again until they had eaten all the food.
This made Lin Jiang feel bored. He was tired of watching a group of primitive people in the tribe drying birds and making people every day. There was no beauty at all.
"Finally going out, should I do something?"
Lin Jiang finally waited for the young men of the tribe to go out hunting. Lin Jiang was thinking about whether to do something. In fact, he was quite interested in the history of the tribe and what happened during his 30,000 years of sleep.
In the evening of the same day, the tribal man who went out hunting came back. This time the prey was much less than the previous time, but it was enough for them to eat for a day or two. The people of the tribe still cheered.
They didn't seem to have any sense of worry. As long as there was something to eat every day, they would be very happy. This made Lin Jiang envious. After all, Lin Jiang had a lot of worries.
Early the next morning, Lin Jiang picked up a branch from the roadside and walked towards the tribe. Lin Jiang had made up his mind to make a brilliant appearance.
"Woof, woof, woof..."
There were dogs in the tribe. They smelled Lin Jiang's scent from a distance and barked in the direction of Lin Jiang.
The people in the tribe were soon alarmed. No matter men, women, old or young, they all picked up their weapons. Several men with bows and arrows were the first to shoot arrows in their hands.
The arrowheads of those arrows were polished from some beast bones or teeth. Lin Jiang did not block them. He released his internal strength and easily blocked them with a thin layer of protective energy.
Then, someone threw a spear. Lin Jiang swung the branch in his hand and the spear was whipped out. The branch was like a whip.
"Snap..."
"Snap, snap..."
From there, it was a hand-to-hand fight. The people in the tribe rushed up and Lin Jiang whipped them, making them cry for their parents.
The people in the tribe were very brave. In order to protect the tribe, death was commonplace. There was no such thing as surrender, because surrender would also mean death.
But this time, their previous bravery was ineffective. Lin Jiang didn't care about their brave charge. Anyway, they fought one by one. After fighting for a long time, all the people in the tribe lay down. They didn't die, but they were all wounded and lay there gasping for breath. Their eyes turned into horror when they looked at Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang dragged the tribal leader into the cave and questioned him. He couldn't get any information after asking for a long time. The main reason was that his language function had degenerated so much that he couldn't express his meaning.
Lin Jiang gave up and observed the cave. The cave was very large and there were many traces of life in it, mainly some traces of smoke and fire.
However, Lin Jiang also saw some murals. From the murals, Lin Jiang read a lot of information, such as when he woke up before, Yunzhou was frozen for most of the year, and there were people in Yunzhou at that time, but they hid in this cave to survive. In the cave, there was a certain insulation effect.
Lin Jiang couldn't determine the age of the murals in the cave. It could be thousands of years old, or hundreds of years old, but it shouldn't be more than ten thousand years old, because it's difficult for murals to be preserved for such a long time.
"Don't chase the past, focus on the present."
Lin Jiang thought about it for an hour and decided not to bother to chase the past. Even if he knew those things, it would be useless and he couldn't change them. If he was interested, he could just search for them later.
Lin Jiang now wants to make some plans for the present and the future. Since tribes and human races have appeared on this land, the society in the past should return soon. No matter when the heaven awakens and the spiritual energy revives, people are needed to be useful.
········
In a flash, Lin Jiang became the leader of the tribe. There's nothing strange about this. This kind of primitive tribe relies on strength to make a living. If you are strong, let alone recognize you as the leader, you can recognize you as a grandfather.
Lin Jiang named the tribe Huaxia and decided to spread a little Chinese civilization here.
The first thing to do is to teach them to speak, not the language of the immortal world, but the language of Huaxia. Chinese characters must also be arranged, but this will take time.
After recuperating in the tribe for a few days, when most people's injuries had healed, Lin Jiang took them out hunting.
Hunting is a very dangerous job for the tribe. Now the outside is all primitive forest, with many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and wild beasts in groups.
When Lin Jiang showed them how to kill a tiger with his bare hands, the tribe completely surrendered to Lin Jiang and no longer had any resistance.
Lin Jiang led the young and strong men of the tribe to bring back a large number of prey, and the tribe immediately began to cheer. That night, half of the female primitives wanted to discuss some human-making techniques with Lin Jiang, but were driven away by Lin Jiang. He didn't want to be a fellow traveler with these primitives.
In the past, when the tribe got prey, they would wait until the prey was eaten up before going out hunting, but Lin Jiang taught them the technology of storing food, such as bacon and jerky, so the next day was still a day of hunting.
The primitive people didn't understand why they had to do this, and Lin Jiang didn't explain it. He just asked them to obey orders. If they didn't obey, the branches in Lin Jiang's hand would tell them what obedience meant.
After a month, the tribe had saved up jerky that couldn't be eaten for several months. With sufficient food, Lin Jiang could teach other things.
The women in the tribe knew what wild vegetables to eat, and even knew how to grow rice. Of course, this planting technique was no different from that of African black sorghum. They just sowed the seeds and left it to fate. So the next step for Lin Jiang was to improve their productivity.
········
Spring went and autumn came. Three years passed quickly. In three years, the Huaxia tribe had completely changed. The thatched houses became adobe houses. Vegetable fields and farmland appeared around the tribe. Everyone had suitable clothes and shoes, although they were still made of animal skins.
The most important thing was that within three years, the population of the tribe increased by dozens, but no one was lost. This was something they could not imagine before.
The children in the tribe who were only a few years old and in their teens not only became fluent in speaking, but also learned some words and could use animal skins to record some things.
"Chief, we are going hunting."
This morning, the young and strong men of the tribe reported to Lin Jiang and took people out to hunt. Lin Jiang made them more powerful bows and arrows, and taught them some superficial boxing and kicking skills. There was no need for Lin Jiang to lead the team to hunt.
"Three years has reduced their evolution by at least a thousand years, but this is far from enough."
Lin Jiang sighed as he watched them leave. If they followed their normal evolutionary speed, a thousand years might not have led to today's results, but Lin Jiang only took three years.
But it was still not enough. For example, agriculture and animal husbandry were still very primitive, not to mention handicrafts. The wild silkworms were still being domesticated, and it was unknown when silk could be made. Now the linen clothes he was wearing were very uncomfortable to wear.
"Population, a large population is needed."
Lin Jiang realized that the key to the development of the tribe lies in the population. Many of Lin Jiang's ideas need people to implement and create, but the small tribe has too few people. A newborn baby takes at least ten years to grow up.
In the evening of that day, the hunting team came back. They brought back a lot of prey, and there was also a captive from another tribe. Just when the tribesmen were about to kill the captive for meat, Lin Jiang stopped them.
Primitive tribes are accustomed to such things. Lin Jiang saw in the murals of the cave that they even ate their own people. It depends on whether there is enough food. If there is not enough food, then people, that is, food.
The appearance of the captives was a blessing in disguise for Lin Jiang. He was still worried about the lack of labor, so this was an opportunity.
Lin Jiang called the previous leader and asked him about other tribes. He learned that there were three other tribes around this tribe, two of which were about the same strength as theirs, and one was much stronger.
The former leader had fought with that powerful tribe, but lost, and many people were killed and looted. After that, they did not dare to be enemies with that tribe, and even had to avoid them when hunting. This time, they dared to provoke them because of the powerful existence of Lin Jiang.
Of course, the bigger reason was that the prey around their tribe had been killed, so they could only go to farther places and meet them again in the future.
"Very good, the Yanhuang era has begun."
After listening to this, Lin Jiang smiled and nodded. Isn't the Yanhuang era coming?
