Chapter 7 Leader Election (Please recommend, please collect)
Luo Chong was weaving a basket, and several women from the collection team were helping him. This was a transaction.
When they came back in the evening, Luo Chong discovered that these women were actually using animal skins to pack fruits. How could Luo Chong tolerate this? Don't forget that he only has one snake skin shorts now. If there is an animal skin, can't he wear it? This is simply a waste of natural resources.
So Luo Chong took a basket for fishing, added two straw ropes to modify it into a backpack, and sold his handicrafts to them.
He exchanged the backpack for animal skins and taught them how to weave baskets. The women quickly agreed.
Animal skins can't hold many fruits, and it's not convenient to carry them. Backpacks can hold more things, and they can free their hands when they carry them on their backs.
In the past, when they picked fruits, they had to put the animal skins aside first, and then put them one by one on the animal skins. If they took too many at a time, they couldn't put them in their hands. If they threw them under the tree, they were afraid that the fruits would be smashed, which was very inefficient. When walking in the jungle, if they encountered wild beasts, they had to put the fruits aside first, and then find weapons to defend themselves.
But it is different with a backpack. It can not only improve the efficiency of picking, but also free your hands. When carrying a backpack, you can hold a wooden stick as a weapon. When walking, you can use the stick to scare the snakes. When encountering wild animals, you can react and protect yourself in the first time, which greatly improves the chance of survival in the jungle. There are too many benefits.
Originally, it was planned to weave three baskets, but this time only two were woven. Because they are used to hold fruits, they are woven very densely, and even chestnuts will not leak. The
straw rope of the straps is also widened, so it is not easy to squeeze the shoulders when carrying heavy objects. Several women liked it at first sight and took turns to carry it on their backs to try it out.
They picked two deerskins from the collection team and gave them to Luo Chong, and agreed that they would go to Tengman tomorrow, and come back in the evening to let Luo Chong continue to teach them to weave by themselves, and strive to get one for each person. The women who did not get a backpack were envious and had a great favor for Luo Chong.
The collection team got the backpack, and Luo Chong got the deerskin, becoming the first child to wear animal skins. His friends were also envious.
Luo Chong was not stingy. The deerskin was very big and he couldn't use it all. He kept one for himself and gave one to the children, asking the mothers of the two or three-year-old children to make clothes for them.
There will be many things to do in the future, and they will need their help. Now is the time to improve their favorability, and they must not be stingy.
Their mothers were also very happy. Who wouldn't feel sorry for their own children? If there were rich animal skins, they would also want their children not to be cold, so they were very grateful to Luo Chong.
In the whole tribe, apart from adult men, the most deaths were children. Children have poor resistance. In this era without medical technology, a small cold or fever may kill those children. It is not an exaggeration to say that one piece of animal skin is one life.
Primitive people are not fools. They can also see who is good to them. If Luo Chong asks them for help in the future, they will not be ungrateful. Things like buying people's hearts are useful no matter what era.
It was late at night, and the people who had worked all day fell asleep. Only the firewood in the fire pit was still crackling in the cave. Luo Chong lay in the haystack, holding two little kids in his arms, covered with deerskin and grass, and slowly fell asleep.
There was no conversation that night. Luo Chong, who had been busy all day, slept soundly. With the protection of the cave, he could relax completely, but the biological clock developed over decades was not so easy to disappear.
Just as the sky was getting light, Luo Chong opened his eyes naturally like every morning in his previous life. This was his morning exercise time that he had never interrupted for more than 20 years.
Needless to say, when he was a soldier in his previous life, in this primitive age where wild beasts roamed everywhere, personal physical fitness was particularly important. Without a strong body, the leader who died yesterday was the best lesson. Of course, the god-like law of "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die" was also interpreted vividly by the leader.
Luo Chong's morning exercise was not complicated. A set of military boxing that everyone in the army knew was enough to exercise his muscles and bones. Stronger physical training was obviously not something a child like him could bear. You know, long-distance running, push-ups and other extreme physical training consume a lot of salt, and Luo Chong had not found salt in the tribe yet.
After a set of boxing, Luo Chong was sweating in the autumn morning. He was thirsty again. All day long, he had to run to the river to drink water. At night, he couldn't even go to the river. He could only drink water from a stone basin with a group of people.
Haha, he couldn't drink it. He didn't force himself to drink urine before. He could pay attention to hygiene. But he had to find a way to hold the water container, otherwise he would have to stay in the cave when winter came. What's more, who can stand eating barbecue every day? It seems that he has to cook some casserole or something. If there is a bowl of hot soup in winter, well, Luo Chong is happy and thinking about the next plan in his heart.
It was daybreak, and the tribesmen came out chattering. They were stunned for a moment when they saw Luo Chong outside the cave. Under normal circumstances, cave dwellers like them rarely leave the cave alone, especially because they are very afraid of the night.
The tribesmen did not rush to hunt today, but the elder with goat horns gathered the male adults in the open space at the entrance of the cave. He was holding the green feather crown belonging to the leader in his hand, which seemed to mean that they were going to re-elect a new leader.
Luo Chong had no intention of paying attention to them. He was really not interested in the green feather hat, not to mention that he was not an adult and was not qualified to participate in such a democratic election.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. Luo Chong was planning to go to the stream to wash up and drink some water by the way, but he did not expect Du Er to chase Luo Chong with a pipe fork.
Damn it, you are trying to make trouble, why are you running towards me with a broken fork, I am not your prey.
One-ear waved the fork and yelled at Luo Chong. He ran to Luo Chong in two steps, grabbed Luo Chong and took him to the elder.
What is this for? What's the point of looking for me? I'm still a child, Luo Chong thought shamelessly.
After meeting up with the eight adults, the elder took a look at Luo Chong and began to speak. He spoke the few words in the tribe, gesturing and talking.
Listening to the elder's meaning, it turned out that Luo Chong was really called here to participate in the election for the leader. In fact, the reason was very simple. They were forced to do so.
All the adult men in the tribe had to go out hunting, but there were only eight people left at this time, including an old man, a lame man, and a stupid six-fingered man. The remaining five main forces had to feed more than 50 people in the entire tribe. If there was no fresh blood joining the hunting team, it would be difficult for them to survive the coming severe winter.
Although Luo Chong was a minor, his ability to hunt the terror bird alone yesterday had been recognized by the tribe. You know, that was the largest prey captured in the tribe's history.
In this era when humans are still very small and still struggling for food every day, a tribe of more than 50 people is really nothing. Maybe any sheep flock you can find anywhere has more people than this tribe, and any wolf pack is more powerful than this tribe, not to mention the test from nature.
Luo Chong even felt the responsibility and pressure for a moment to live with these people.
