Things in the tribe were back on track and life passed peacefully.
The eldest brother and his companions then went out hunting.
With more prey hunted, the people in the tribe can have enough food to eat and they can also have some free time to rest.
If there were fewer prey, it would be a rather sad story, as the people in the tribe would have to eat less.
But now they have large jars and pottery jars and other containers, and Han Cheng has invented the way of eating boiled meat and bone soup. Under this premise, even if they hunt less, people in the tribe can still fill their stomachs, after all, water is readily available.
Of course, this kind of fullness is only a false fullness, and he would be hungry again after peeing twice, but it is much better than the previous time when he had little food and had to eat it roasted.
In later generations, Han Cheng once heard a joke about a man who picked up a sparrow. He was so happy that he plucked the feathers and gutted it. He then found a carrot from the kitchen, cut it into pieces, and put it in the pot with the sparrow.
Then he started making phone calls, inviting his friends to come to his house to drink the delicious and nutritious broth.
A sparrow and a carrot served seven or eight people, and they were all stuffed...
Compared with this guy, Han Cheng felt that the tribe put too much meat in the soup!
We sometimes catch fish, but nowadays fish are very agile and difficult to catch, so we eat less fish.
The witch was still very busy, and spent most of his time hiding in the cave, recording what the Son of God had created.
In his opinion, there were too many things that needed to be recorded, and he was reluctant to throw away any of them.
For example, when food is scarce, they would boil soup in a jar and eat it. This was a great way for the tribe to save food.
However, when the sun is shining, Han Cheng will call Wu out to bask in the sun together.
The cave is warm in winter, but as the weather warms up, it becomes more humid, and the light inside is not very good. Wu is old and needs more sun exposure, which will be of great benefit to him.
As for Han Cheng, he lived a more leisurely life. With the colorful halo of the Son of God behind him, he had a very transcendent status in the tribe. In addition, he was young and could live as he pleased.
After all, he is now one of the three giants of the Qingque tribe.
His life now has not changed much from before.
He still teaches the children Chinese characters and Mandarin every day, but as the teaching time increases, Han Cheng gradually discovers a problem. That is, as the children learn too many characters one by one, they tend to forget what they learned before.
And because they learn a character or a word individually, sometimes they understand the meaning of the character and how to write it, but don't know how to use it.
But this did not pose a problem for Han Cheng. After thinking it over, Han Cheng decided to use his ultimate weapon - the text!
The opening chapter is "The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother".
The interest of the text is much stronger than that of individual words. Moreover, through such small texts, children can also strengthen their grasp of the entire sentence structure, as well as their grasp of characters and words.
Children in the tribe basically have no chance to listen to stories. Even if they occasionally hear them, they are about the elders in the tribe going out hunting and gathering.
It is far less interesting than this little text.
It is precisely because of this that, as soon as Han Cheng’s small text appeared, it immediately attracted the hearts of all the children who followed him to study.
But in just one day, they were able to remember the entire story of "The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother" and also learned many new words in it.
So much so that in the following days after learning this short lesson, the children in the tribe would get together whenever they had nothing to do and excitedly tell and discuss this interesting story to each other.
The appearance of the short text "The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother" is like opening a door to a new world for these children.
Just like when Han Cheng was in the first grade of junior high school, his kind-hearted deskmate gave him a pirated online novel that he had rented and read...
However, whenever Han Cheng saw them discussing things so excitedly, he always felt embarrassed and guilty.
Because these children don’t know that the scene their parents perform at night while humming a little song is actually called “The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother”…
Teaching with short texts, this magical and interesting way of learning the language and writing of God naturally attracted the witch. The witch understood the benefits of it, and while he was happy, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly, because he had not finished recording all the previous things, and now new things appeared.
This is what it means to be in pain and happy!
Of course, Han Cheng does not teach all day long. He spends no more than two hours teaching every day. Firstly, if he teaches too much, the children will not be able to learn or remember well. Secondly, it is also hard for him to be a teacher. Thirdly, for these children, learning Chinese characters and Mandarin is not all they need. They also need to learn many other survival skills. After all, here, being able to survive is the top priority.
For example, Heiwa and Zhuang, who are older among the children, have now gone hunting more often with their eldest brother.
Fourthly, these children do not need to take exams to gain fame, unlike children in later generations who take exams big and small every day, and the quality of their studies has a great impact on their future prospects.
The children in the tribe do not have this kind of pressure.
The production of pottery is also in progress, but it does not need to be made all day long like before. After all, pottery is not a disposable consumable, and with the previous accumulation, their demand is not as strong as before.
It was precisely because of the leisure time that the production of pottery gradually developed from the initial rough style to the refined style.
And the variety is increasing.
In addition to the original large vats, pottery jars and bowls, based on Han Cheng's oral description and the outlines drawn on the ground with branches, the craftsman Heiwa began to try to make teapots specifically for brewing tea, teacups for drinking tea, and even pottery pillows.
And now when making pottery, people will use ropes or something like that to leave some traces on it.
After the pioneering short text "The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother" appeared, the most common patterns that appeared on various pottery were clumsy and childish tadpoles and their mother, the frog.
After discovering this phenomenon, Han Cheng smiled.
He suddenly remembered something interesting.
If the place where they lived was excavated thousands or tens of thousands of years later, and so many pottery with depictions of frogs and tadpoles were found, would it also trigger various discussions?
Han Cheng felt that by then, his dignified Green Bird Tribe would definitely be called the Frog Tribe.
Moreover, he had already thought of the reason for worshipping frogs, which was that frogs had many offspring, which could be connected with the idea of "many offspring bring good fortune" and "the ancients' desire for a large and prosperous population"...
It looks like the tadpoles are about to invade us in search of their mother!
