The Glorious Summoner

Chapter 34: Shennong

   Xia Ping'an opened her eyes again and found herself lying in a deep grass.

   The sky above his head was a bit dazzling blue, and the clouds were white as if they had been bleached. By his side, there were half-human dog-tail grasses with a stick in his mouth.

   Xia Ping sat up all of a sudden, and looked at his body. He was wearing animal skins, with bone chains on his wrists and neck, and a very sharp stone sickle hanging from his waist.

   This is a small hill near the river. Not far away, there are a large area of ​​tribes and houses. Those houses have been built on the ground, and they have been built with mud, wood and reeds.

There is smoke in the tribe. In that tribe, there is another mud pit. Countless young people are stepping on the mud with their feet. The mud in the mud pit is smashed and mixed with the dried grass blades. .

   Some people traveled between the tribe and the lake, using bamboo pipes to hit the water back on the lake, and fell into the mud.

   Some other people took out the mud stepped in the mud pit, placed it on the open space next to it, and used a wooden board to pat the mud in a rough square shape to dry.

   There are already a lot of dried mud blocks on the ground, and those dried mud blocks are taken not far away piece by piece, and built with those mud blocks and reeds to build simple new houses.

   Is this the era of the Shennong clan? The ancient people's technology for building houses has improved a lot!

   Xia Pingan looked at the large tribe in the distance. Judging from the number of houses in the tribe, the population of this tribe is quite large, at least tens of thousands of people.

The house of the tribe has been moved from the tree to the ground, and the main material for building the house has become mud. The grass stems in the mud play the role of steel reinforcement in the concrete. After drying, the mud bricks are not Loose it again.

   people in the tribe, some wear clothes wrapped in animal skins, and some wear clothes woven from leaves of grass and leaves. Judging from the curling smoke, it seems that fire has been completely popularized and productivity has been further released.

   And those houses built with reed poles and mud bricks are large and small, and the things on the outside of the houses of different sizes are also different. This shows that different families in a tribe are rich and poor.

Some very primitive primitive society division of labor may have emerged. For example, some people are good at cutting wood with stone axes and knives, some are good at hunting, some are good at making leather, some are good at polishing stone tools, and some are good at picking fruits. , Or knitting clothes...

In some empty places in the tribe, there are some wild fruits on the ground, and a lot of animal skin and animal bones. The breeze blowing from the direction of the tribe carries the smell of those animal skins and animal bones. The smell of drying in the sun is not pleasant, but in this era, that smell is exactly the thriving and powerful atmosphere of a tribe.

   Men and women are busy with their own work, and a group of children run around in the tribe chasing some captive elk.

There is no farmland around the    tribe, but there are large tracts of grassland and woodland on the riverside and surrounding slopes and grasslands. There is a lot of vegetation in those grassland and woodland.

   Compared with the two experiences of Suiren and You Chao, the productivity of this tribe has obviously improved a lot, and the population of the tribe is also larger.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia Ping’an’s head appeared in the words of "Zhuangzi: Pirates Pian": "In the age of Shennong, you will live in the world when you lie down, and you will start from Yu. The people know their mother, but they don’t know their father. Live with the moose..."

Xia Ping’an took out the stone sickle on his waist again and looked at it. The stone sickle is more than 20 centimeters long and has been sharpened very sharply. In this era, a stone sickle can be attached to his waist. The sickle should be of great value, and it's as good as a young man holding a big brother when he first had a mobile phone in later generations.

   Just as Xia Pingan was looking into the distance, a girl with a delicate look in a tiger leather skirt and slightly dark skin had already moved aggressively up the hillside and walked towards Xia Pingan.

"Die, you are hiding here again..." The girl came to Xia Ping'an. Before Xia Ping'an could figure out her identity, she akimbo her hips and grabbed Xia Ping's ears with her hands, and began to teach. "I’ve been looking for you for a long time if I told you to eat. Brother and Uncle have already taken people to hunt. You just wandered around for a day, watching the grass while watching the fish. It’s not a business matter. You said the day before yesterday that the weeds can be eaten, I From now on, I will cut some weeds every day to feed you, and see if you are full!"

   The weeds that this girl said in her mouth were these dog-tailed weeds next to Xia Ping An.

   Don't underestimate these dog's tail grasses. These dog's tail grasses are the ancestors of Xiaomi. Xiaomi was called chestnut in ancient times. The earliest chestnuts were gradually cultivated from these dog's tail grasses.

   Peiligang Cultural Site and Donghulin Site both found a large amount of chestnut rice, and the chestnut rice discovered by the latter pushed the Chinese people's history of planting chestnut rice to about 10,000 years.

   As soon as he heard this girl's words, Xia Ping'an knew that Shennong was indeed a god, and the earliest millet should have been cultivated by Shennong from the grass.

   "Sister, lightly, lightly, you will know in the future, this grass is really edible!" Xia Ping'an cried out in pain, and quickly stood up.

   After fusing the Jiezhu twice in a row, Xia Pingan has become more and more proficient in the "role-playing" game in Jiezhu.

"If this weeds can make people full, I will listen to you what you say in the future..." the girl said fiercely, not believing Xia Ping'an's words at all, "If you can't, you just listen to me and find a business. Yes, although Grandma is the patriarch, you can't wander around all day!"

   As expected!

Xia Ping’an had guessed before that Shennong had so much time to invent and create and study herbs. It is likely that she has already escaped from heavy manual labor and has no urgent survival needs, so she will have time and energy to study other people. Things that can't be studied.

   Now it seems that it is true. The mother of the Shennong clan is the matriarch of this tribe, and the Shennong clan should be one of the earliest ancient "nobles".

  In matrilineal clan society, the status of women in the tribe is relatively high, and the patriarchs of the tribe are all women. For example, he, a fierce sister, may inherit the position of the tribal patriarch in the future.

   Judging from some historical materials, the Shennong clan may have been a key figure in the transition from matrilineal clan to patrilineal clan in ancient China because of its outstanding contributions. Some historical books say that Shennong clan passed down the seventeenth generation, the last generation of Shennong clan, that is, Emperor Yan. Other historical books say that Emperor Yan is Zhu Xiang~www.ltnovel.com~ is Fuxi's first minister, Fuxi's retreat to Yandi, so Yandi "opens the world's prosperity"...

These historical legends and information flashed past Xia Ping’an’s head. At this time, it was not for archaeological research, but a task to complete. Seeing the girl’s hand holding her ear, Xia Ping’an didn’t relax. Hurriedly said, "I have already thought of what to do, and I am going to tell my grandmother!"

   "Really?" The hand holding Xia Ping'an's ear suddenly loosened, and the girl asked curiously, "What do you want to do?"

   "Ha, secret, you will know in a moment, what I have to do will surely be praised by everyone in the tribe..."

   The girl looked at Xia Ping'an with suspicion, Xia Ping'an didn't explain, but just smiled...

   "Okay, then let me see how you tell your grandmother after you go back..." The girl didn't believe it at all, but the hand holding Xia Ping'an's ear relaxed.

  ……

   Then, Xia Ping'an rubbed her ears, and followed the girl back to the tribe.

   When he saw the tribe before, he already knew what he had to do first.

  The Shennong family has done a lot in his life. He just came here. To undertake the historical mission of the Shennong family, he must first establish his own prestige in the tribe.

Teach people to plant grains, identify herbs, raise sericulture and weave cloth. It’s not just three days or two days that you can see results, but there is another thing that is easy to do, and if you do it well, you can quickly establish prestige among the entire tribe. This matter is very simple.

   While passing through the houses in the tribe, Xia Ping'an carefully observed the things hanging outside the houses, watching the amount and types of supplies owned by different families, and became more confident in his heart.
