The birth of new life brings unparalleled joy and joy to the tribe.
Especially a group of women, because they give birth to another girl, they will definitely attract strong men to the tribe in the future, and the tribe will further grow.
Of course, Xu Chen couldn't understand this kind of joy.
Everyone thinks that the biggest contributor to Sheng Sheng's smooth birth is not the pregnant woman, nor her mysterious father, but Xu Chen.
Because Xu Chen gave the pregnant woman endless strength and courage at the most critical moment. After being extremely frightened and exhausted, she received God's blessing and allowed the rope to come into the world.
Although giving birth and taking care of children is a woman's business.
But the men of the tribe were also very happy.
After all, piling is also a kind of sacrifice. Without their hard work and hard work day and night, there would be no reproduction and growth of the tribe.
The birth of every new life is the most worthy of warm celebration.
Therefore, under the arrangement of Muba, the entire tribe held a grand bonfire dinner in the evening, and she also very seriously carved a mark of a new population on her inheritance staff.
Xu Chen also carefully recorded this piece of information on the wall where he wrote his diary, and also marked the complete time.
Traveling back to the fourth month of the primitive era, he finally witnessed the birth of a primitive little life for the first time, and he also used the language and characters he invented as her name.
This is something worth remembering and commemorating forever.
The reason why human beings can create a splendid civilization relies on endless reproduction and inheritance.
Every birth of new life means that human beings can go further.
These simplest primitive humans never consider the meaning of life.
They never think about the meaning of life.
They just uphold the power of natural rules and live just to live.
Procreation, reproduction, and growing the race are the only motivation and value for their lives.
Aunt Thirteen recovered very well and was able to work normally after giving birth.
And this wrinkled baby has become the favorite treasure of a large number of women. They take turns holding it back and forth and are reluctant to let go until they go to sleep.
However, I also face the same situation as other newborn babies, that is, not enough milk.
But there is currently no alternative milk source or milk powder that can be supplemented. Therefore, in order for newborn babies to be fed and thrive, Xu Chen feels that it is necessary to provide mothers with enhanced nutrition.
Generally speaking, it is best for mothers to eat more foods rich in protein and fat to induce lactation.
Fish meat is a better choice right now, and crucian carp soup is said to be more milk-supplementing.
However, a group of hunters had never caught crucian carp, either because there was none in the river, or because the mesh of the fishing net was too large, or because there was no crucian carp in the nearby river.
Therefore, it can only be temporarily replaced with other fish meat.
Apart from fish, eggs have the highest protein content.
There are no chickens, ducks or geese at the moment, so the only thing that can be found is bird eggs.
But wild birds don't seem to lay eggs in winter, and the last time I looked nearby, there were none. There were more bird nests only on the top of the mountain.
However, the top of the mountain was occupied by a group of monkeys.
How many monkeys are there in this group of dogs...
After a lively and happy dinner, Xu Chen sat by the fire pit, watching a group of women chatting lively around the baby and Aunt Thirteen, but in his heart he was worrying about becoming a father.
What happened today was not an accident.
Because there is less food on the mountain in winter, the monkeys will start to prey on other groups.
Because monkeys cannot store food, they naturally covet animals that can store food.
Take squirrels for example. In winter, monkeys' favorite thing is to look for tree holes where squirrels store food.
In addition, they also hunt small animals such as birds and mice. Of course, when hungry, they will also attack the weak and eat their own kind.
But in fact, what monkeys like most is stealing human food.
The richest people in this valley are the group of humans living on the mountainside.
Every winter and spring, monkeys always come to visit several times.
Generally speaking, caves are guarded all day long.
A group of women, children, the elderly and a few men responsible for making tools are in the cave almost all year round.
But this year is different from previous years. Xu Chen is busy with construction at the foot of the mountain. As a result, the whole clan likes to go down the mountain to watch the excitement, and the whole clan mobilizes to go down the mountain more and more often.
Today, a large area of land was burned, and men, women, old and children naturally followed happily to watch the excitement, so the cave was completely deserted.
From then on, the monkeys took the opportunity to enter. When a group of women came back, the whole cave was full of monkeys, so naturally a chase and fight was inevitable.
This group of monkeys live next to each other and are familiar with each other. The monkeys are afraid of men, but not women. Faced with the chasing and scolding of a group of women, they actually attack in groups, causing a group of women to send a message for help to the men down the mountain.
In the end, the monkey group was repelled with little loss of food, and Aunt Thirteen successfully gave birth to a baby, without killing one or two people due to fright.
But the existence of monkeys is indeed a big threat to the Ba people at present.
Winter has just entered, and it has not yet reached the coldest time when food is scarce.
Maybe in the next few months, the monkeys will come to sneak attacks again and again.
If this threat is not eradicated, someone may be injured.
There were two other pregnant women who were about to give birth, and they couldn't bear the fright either.
The monkey is thinking about the food stored by the Ba people, and he is also thinking about the bird's nest on the top of the mountain.
Xu Chen held his chin and thought over and over again, trying to find a good way to deal with this group of scourges.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally looked at a row of clay pots for making wine, and suddenly my eyes lit up and I had an idea.
…
The next day, after Xu Chen had breakfast and waited until the sun rose, he did not go down the mountain to supervise the construction of the house. Instead, he took Gu Heju and three men up the mountain carrying a can of fruit wine.
For safety, they also carried bows and arrows, ropes and a rope net made overnight.
Although they didn't know what Xu Chen was going to do, no one asked Xu Chen what he was going to do. They just prepared things and followed Xu Chen's instructions honestly.
Before we even climbed to the top of the mountain, we could already hear the sound of monkeys jumping and roaring in the woods.
After discovering that humans had invaded their territory, the monkeys quickly became agitated. They kept jumping on the trees around the group of people to follow them, throwing stones, spitting, and roaring with claws and teeth to express their anger.
Xu Chen and others ignored them, shouting loudly to drive them away, and occasionally used bows and arrows to scare them. This made the monkeys even angrier, and under the leadership of the leader, they continued to harass and besiege them.
When he was about to climb to the top of the mountain, Xu Chen pretended that he was exhausted and asked a group of people to stop and have a rest. He also scooped out a few bowls of fruit wine, and then the few of them started eating without anyone noticing.
In fact, what they drank was not fruit wine, but water.
Because the resistance of primitive people to alcohol is too low, Xu Chen was worried that Gu Heju and others who followed him would be drunk to death after eating, and that the monkey would be caught instead of catching it, and then some indescribable things would happen.
The sweet and rich smell of fruit wine floated in the forest, making the monkeys increasingly restless.
The leader of the monkey group squatted on a big tree not far away and kept roaring.
A group of strong monkeys slowly approached from all sides.
There were even daring ones who jumped down from the tree and threw down the threat with claws and teeth less than ten meters away from Xu Chen and others.
Seeing that Xu Chen and others ignored them, more monkeys jumped down from the trees. Not only were they threatening, some even tried to pounce on them and snatch the rattan basket away.
Yesterday, this group of monkeys jumped over the lid of a wine-making pot at the last moment, but they basically didn't get anything. They were beaten away by a group of angry men with sticks. There were even a few monkeys who were too obsessed with fruit wine.
Xiang Xiang was beaten very badly and was almost caught and used as a barbecue.
It is not news that humans eat monkeys, it has been happening since ancient times.
In terms of force value, monkeys are very different from primitive savages and are not at the same level at all, but they occasionally take advantage of humans' unpreparedness and steal human babies to take revenge.
In fact, in more ancient times, when humans and monkeys lived in mountains and dense jungles, monkeys have always been a relatively important food species for humans.
In some ancient primitive tribes in Africa, Nepal, South America, etc., the habit of hunting monkeys and other primates for food still exists.
This is not only to obtain food, but also a struggle for ethnic groups and territory.
For a long time, the survival styles and living habits of primitive humans and monkeys were so similar that they even regarded each other as similar species competing for territory.
But the difference now is very obvious.
Humans began to live in caves, learned to make tools, and purposefully collected, hunted and stored food. Their living habits were completely different from those of monkeys.
For the Ba people, monkeys are no longer the same kind, but a scourge.
