Chapter 39 Ancient Migration
The day after the carb feast, everyone began to prepare for the great migration.
Pack up everything you can take away.
Things that cannot be taken away, such as the earthen kilns dug for firing pottery and the walls made of wooden stakes, will be left for future generations to use for archaeological research.
The living creatures, including wild boars and wild goats, were handled by a group of four.
They built temporary wild boar pens and wild sheep pens in the space and temporarily stored the wild boars and sheep in the space.
Datian's mother seemed a little worried. She found Luo Jiu privately and said that Datian's sister-in-law's belly was already very big and she didn't know if she could withstand the long journey.
"Second mother, I know I shouldn't question your decision, and I have no regrets. But if the child is born on the way, can everyone stay for a few days and let Tian's sister-in-law rest?"
Luo Jiu held her hand and said, "If anyone feels unwell during the journey, we will all help treat her together. You don't know how important population is to us. We will not abandon anyone.
What’s more, the baby won’t be born on the way, because we will be there in a few days.”
"How many days?" Datian's mother was very surprised. "Didn't you say that Chang'an is a thousand kilometers away from us?"
Luo Jiu said: "That's right, but we'll go there by car."
In modern times, it takes about ten hours and twenty-nine minutes to travel from Beijing Zhoukou to Lantian, Shaanxi by highway.
In ancient times, from Longgu Mountain to Chang'an, they had to find their own way forward.
But it will definitely not be too slow.
The day before departure, all trams will be fully charged and will be used in batches.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the four of them put all their stuff into the space. The generators that they had taken out earlier were also put away. Everyone looked around, and it seemed that nothing was left behind.
"Let's keep it as a souvenir." Cheng Yaoyao took out her cell phone and took a photo of the four of them in the cave.
Then he went outside, called all the cavemen over, and took a group photo of all nineteen of us.
Then, everyone got on their respective vehicles according to the predetermined groups and officially set off.
The lead car was a Xiaomi S90, driven by Zhong Jialing, with Luo Jiu sitting on the passenger seat, and Datian's sister-in-law and Datian's mother sitting in the back seat.
The second car was a Xiaomi S90, driven by Cheng Yaoyao, with Datian’s third sister sitting in the passenger seat, and the eldest and second sisters sitting in the back seat.
The third vehicle was an electric tricycle driven by Datian, loaded with cavemen and some belongings.
The last vehicle was an electric tricycle driven by Feng Qi, also loaded with cavemen and bottles and jars.
The four cars kept a certain distance between each other and set off in a mighty procession.
Luo Jiu found a modern transportation map in a geography book. Although no roads had been built at that time, modern infrastructure is based on terrain, so it still has great reference value.
On the first day, they walked very carefully and only walked 200 kilometers. That night, they found a cave to set up camp, lit a bonfire, and took turns to keep watch.
Because the road was smooth, I was a little bolder the next day and drove 400 kilometers. I stopped to hunt when I encountered wild animals. Later, I came across a bamboo forest and cut bamboo from half of the forest.
We stopped and started frequently, and except for the occasional detour, we didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
On the third day, they passed a wild river and met several humans.
The degree of shock and joy felt by everyone was no less than the shock you would feel if you went to a remote country that no one had ever heard of and suddenly met your fellow countrymen.
They hurriedly stopped the car and tried to communicate with them, but found that these primitive people, like the cavemen three months ago, could not speak at all, they could only howl.
But from their howling, Luo Jiu and the others could also feel that they were also very happy.
I even walked up to them, touched the clothes they were wearing, and looked at their cars, with longing eyes like those of African mountain children.
Luo Jiu and the others asked Datian to bring people over to communicate, and the two sides howled at each other for a long time.
Luo Jiu and the other three couldn't stand it any longer, so they had to close the windows of the car when they got in.
Soon Datian came over and knocked on the car window. She rubbed her hoarse throat and said, "I found out that they live in a cave near here. They can't even count how many people there are. They are not far ahead. Should we go over and take a look?"
Luo Jiu nodded, "Let's go."
The nameless primitive people led the way in front, and they followed in their cars.
The cave here is not half the size of the one in Dragon Bone Mountain. It is home to three women, seven men, and a little girl about seven or eight years old.
They looked similar to the cavemen, but it was obvious that they were poorly clothed and hungry, and their living conditions were extremely poor.
The cavemen felt very sympathetic when they saw their pale and skinny faces, and kept communicating with them.
Datian was standing nearby, translating for the four people.
The cavemen asked them who the girl's mother was. They said that the girl's mother was dead. She bled a lot after giving birth, and they buried her in the ground.
Feng Qi asked: "Then who is the little girl's father?"
Datian had already learned some physiological knowledge, and after asking the embarrassed translator, he said, "They don't know who is, or rather, all of them."
Feng Qi looked at Luo Jiu speechlessly. The primitive society was still too barbaric, which had a severe impact on the concepts of modern people.
Zhong Jialing touched her pocket, took out an egg yolk pie and a small bread, and handed them to the little girl.
Except for this little girl, all the other people who survived here are young men in their twenties and thirties. It seems that their living environment is very cruel.
There was a reason why Luo Jiu chose Chang'an, which he did not tell the cavemen.
It’s not that I wanted to hide it from them on purpose, but the reason is too complicated and I’m afraid they won’t understand.
Primitive people lived in groups, and everyone was related by blood.
If no new people join, and these people reproduce with each other and become inbred, the quality of the population will become lower and lower, and many problems will arise.
So she wanted to take them to Chang'an. There were many prehistoric sites near the Yellow River Basin, but historically they did not form tribes until the Yanhuang period. In order to develop rapidly, Luo Jiu had to advance this progress.
From now on, we will gradually unify the various tribes, form a unified language and a unified writing system, intermarry with each other, continue to grow and develop, and establish a country as soon as possible.
Luo Jiu asked Datian to communicate with these people, "Ask them if they are willing to go with us."
There was another howling, and Datian translated: "They asked if you would kill them."
Luo Jiu smiled and shook his head, "Tell them that if they follow us, they will have food, drink and clothes to wear. We will not kill them like prey for no reason."
After hearing Datian's translation, the group of people shouted with joy and happily joined them.
So Feng Qi took out half a wild boar, roasted it, let everyone have a full meal first, and then set off together.
They walked along the Yellow River and picked up three groups of people along the way.
Finally, five Lao Tou Le cars drove out, and each car was packed with people.
It took a total of seven days, and they finally arrived at the "Chang'an" in their minds.
In ancient times more than 10,000 years ago, this place was barren, with only the high sky, vast land, and countless trees.
Luo Jiu surveyed the surroundings and found an extremely wide sloping land. It was backed by a mountain and had a tributary of the Yellow River not far in front. There was a large amount of flat land on three sides, which was extremely suitable for farming.
Luo Jiu stood on the slope and looked around, then turned to everyone and said, "We'll settle down here."
