44, corpse
There are corpses in the forest, including all kinds of wild animals and humans.
The corpses of wild beasts are left over, while humans probably die of illness or injury and die of wound infection.
These corpses have rotted and smelly. When they are on the beach, they don’t smell the smell. When they come to the dense forest, Zhao Yunxiang is almost smoldered by the overwhelming stench.
The odor of these corpses attracted many scavengers. Several gray wolves were gnawing on the corpses. As they tore, yellow corpse water and wriggling maggots flowed out of the corpses.
"Damn!"
Zhao Yunxiang immediately covered his nose and retreated from the forest. As for the gray wolf who were gnawing at the corpse, he just glanced at Zhao Yunxiang and then continued to gnaw as if nothing had happened.
"No wonder people in the tribe get sick. After the corpse becomes smelly, they will spread the disease." Zhao Yunxiang was speechless. Shouldn't people be buried in peace after they die?
How to corpse in the wilderness?
The plague in ancient times was probably transmitted by rotten corpses and soaked feces. Because the corpses were improperly treated, the odor after the rotten scent was spread through the air, causing more people to get sick.
As for the soaked feces, it is because the sewers in ancient times were not advanced. When the rainy season occurs, the feces in the toilet will be washed into the street by water. When the sun is exposed to the sun, the smell will be...
"Han Xuening..."
When I arrived at the beach, I saw that the tribesmen were busy working. There were several huge quartz stones on the beach, which could completely supply the consumption of the entire tribe. Zhao Yunxiang thought about it and prepared to convene the tribe members for a meeting.
"What's wrong?" Teacher Han was teaching women in the tribe how to make ropes with vines under the coconut tree by the sea. The women were meticulous and soon learned to rub the hemp rope.
"Call everyone together, I have something to announce." Zhao Yunxiang looked solemn, and he had to let the tribe members know that the entity must not be exposed to the air.
"Okay, I'll go now..." Han Xuening twisted her delicate body and walked towards the tribe.
A few dozen seconds later, the tribe gathered at the beach...
The two foreigners who were trying to break into the tribe just now have been taught a lesson. Karenqi was opened and left by his companions, and he seemed to be unable to survive.
"Divine Alpha, I wonder what's wrong with you calling us?" the chief asked first.
"There are two things. The first thing is to make a spear blade. I will teach you this later..." Zhao Yunxiang pointed to the dense forest behind him, "What's the matter with the corpses in the forest? Can you tell me?"
Some of the vegetation near the seaside in the forest is dense, blocking the stench of the corpse. If it is a south wind, the stench of the corpse will float to the tribe. This scent contains a large amount of bacteria, and inhalation will cause respiratory infections.
"Corps?" the chief frowned and then said, "This is a rule passed down from ancestors. The corpses of tribes must be eaten by wild animals to be redeemed. Our tribe has dealt with dead tribes in this way since ancient times."
People from the Alpha tribe think it is normal to deal with corpses in this way. After all, it was passed down from ancestors and habits have become nature.
"I'll go..." Zhao Yunxiang shrugged speechlessly, "Don't you know that this will also breed bacteria?"
"What are bacteria?" the chief asked silly again.
"I..." Zhao Yunxiang felt it was difficult to communicate with them, so he simply gave an order directly, "From then, the corpses of the tribe must be buried and buried in the soil for peace, and then, the corpses in the forest must be purified with divine fire."
Even if a rotten corpse is buried, it cannot inhibit the breeding of bacteria, and it will also affect the soil quality. Burying before rot and burying after rot are two different concepts.
Zhao Yunxiang, the forest just now, saw that most of them were tropical plants, and the vegetation in the forest was not dense. If the firewood was laid, it would burn all the forests.
The soil here is OK and flat, so you can open up land for arable land.
There are many dead trees by the sea, and these trunks are brought by ocean currents. The tribes carry dead trees into the woods together.
As for the few gray wolves who were eating the corpse, the animals had left, and the senses of the animals were very sharp. They noticed the number of people here. Faced with so many people, the gray wolves could only leave in awkward manner.
A few minutes later, the dry firewood almost covered all the corpses. The chief ignited the firewood with a fire, and the corpses and bones were roasted by the flames.
The smoke rolls in the woods, and the fire can be clearly seen through the dense gaps of the trees.
Zhao Yunxiang was not worried that the flames would light up all the surrounding forests, because not far ahead was a rocky area, and the flames would only ignite plants and could not move on the rocks.
After dealing with the corpse, the chief and a group of tribe listened to Zhao Yunxiang's explanation under the large coconut trees.
"This kind of stone is quartz stone, with high hardness. The spear I hunted for sharks is made of this stone." Zhao Yunxiang patted the huge quartz stone on the sandy land. "The high hardness of the stone represents its fragility. You can easily knock on the quartz stone with a stone axe. What you need to learn is to make your own spear blade and make this shape."
Zhao Yunxiang handed over a spear blade and let the tribes pass on to watch. Humans have strong imitation ability. Many simple things can be remembered at a glance and thus created.
It took more than 20 minutes to teach tribes to make spear blades. Many people have mastered the creation of spear blades. At the same time, Han Xuening led some people to make bows and arrows. Teacher Han followed Zhao Yunxiang for a long time and has mastered many skills.
"Let you get familiar with the Neolithic tools first, and then there will be bronze tools soon, and then steel!" Zhao Yunxiang stood by the kiln, first wet his whole body with sea water, and then add firewood to the kiln.
"But... before making bronzes, you have to make blowers, as well as tin and lead."
It is imperative to find tin and lead, but now you have to fill your stomach. The shark meat slices baked on the fire are already cooked, the color is golden, and some grease drips on the fire.
Zhao Yunxiang picked up the leaves next to the kiln. There was still a little sea water inside the leaves. Originally, the leaves contained a lot of sea water, but because they were close to the kiln, the sea water was evaporated by high temperature.
The sea water after evaporation left a white cloud-like trace, which is saline-alkali. Sea salt contains alkali, which is toxic. Fortunately, the human kidneys can detoxify, and as long as you don’t eat sea salt every day, it will not cause death.
Holding some semi-solidified sea salt to the fire, Zhao Yunxiang grabbed the sea salt and sprinkled it on the shark meat.
The whole shark was sliced and roasted, and the tribe everyone gathered together to enjoy the food.
