The July sun was scorching the earth like a furnace, and the chirping of cicadas came intermittently from the distant woods. It became noisy and noisy, and sometimes they would suddenly become silent collectively.
Han Cheng didn't know if cicadas had appeared earlier, but one thing could be confirmed, that is, they already existed, and judging from the universality of their distribution, they should have appeared much earlier than now.
a lot of.
Han Cheng both loves and hates cicadas.
After a rain in summer, the larvae that have been dormant underground for three to five years begin to crawl out of the ground quietly at night. Thick and tall tree trunks are their favorite. If they cannot find a tree trunk in a short time,
Some grass stems around you can also be turned into regular ones from spare tires.
Walking to higher places is not only a human characteristic, but also cicadas.
Just like humans, cicadas climb to high places as soon as they are born, in order to avoid danger, obtain better living conditions, and spend their short life as a cicada in a more successful manner.
Most cicadas can successfully avoid various dangers and become members of the summer chorus.
Unlucky enough, before climbing high, he was knocked down from the tree by a small hand or a bamboo stick, and entered into various strange containers. Before he could use the special skill of golden cicada to escape from his shell, he had already disappeared into a container of various sizes.
in the mouth.
The next day, he emerged from the land of grain reincarnation and quickly ended his short life.
Young cicadas are Han Cheng's favorite. Whether stir-fried or deep-fried, he can't get enough of them, until now.
In later generations, in his hometown, young cicadas were always called crawling forks.
I like it because it tastes delicious.
He likes to eat young cicadas, but he hates the cicadas' chirping, just like he likes snow but doesn't like being hit with snow.
As the cicadas chirped together, Han Chengcheng felt that his whole mind was in a mess. Maybe this was retaliation.
Compared with the previous days, the cicada chirping today was not too disturbing. It was not that Han Cheng suddenly changed his temper, but that there was something more helpless than the cicada chirping.
The appearance of the zodiac sign is a good thing for the Qingque tribe. The bad thing is that the calendar of the Qingque tribe appears too late.
Looking at this group of people who had assigned their zodiac sign, Han Chenggong couldn't help but his face twitched.
It's so cruel!
It's okay for people like Tietou, Heiwa, and Ruhua to say that they were born in the year of the bird. Considering that they are fifteen years old, they can barely make it pass. But Bai Xuemei's statement that she was born in the year of the fish is a bit too much.
According to the current Year of the Rabbit, there are several choices for Bai Xuemei's age - two years old, fourteen years old, twenty-six years old... none of them are suitable.
Excluding those born in the first year of Qingque or later, more than half of the others have zodiac signs that do not match their true age.
"She must be a sheep. Look at this sheep, which is as white as a cloud. How beautiful it is."
Han Cheng said to the child bride with a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Sheep white, Bai Xuemei is also white, and Baixuemei also wears two braids, so she should be a sheep."
According to the sheep zodiac, Bai Xuemei is now ten years old and nine years old, which should not be much different from her actual age.
Xiaomei Xiaoli and the others are only about ten years old.
Compared with later generations, people in the tribe developed earlier.
This may be related to the fact that the living conditions of people in this era are too difficult, and it is not easy to live to an old age.
For the continuation of the race, we can only adapt to nature and change ourselves.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, whether cruel or inspiring, this is how many species are eliminated bit by bit.
Those who cannot adapt to changes in the environment have disappeared, and those who are unwilling to make changes have also disappeared.
The most indispensable thing in this world is competition, or substitutes.
The dinosaurs that once dominated the earth have disappeared. Their disappearance did not cause much of a sensation. The earth still rotates at its inherent speed. After a short period of desertion, other species have covered the entire planet. Compared with the past, they are no less impressive.
.
Speaking from a small perspective, it is just like a profession. Some people say it is good and some people say it is bad.
Some people don’t want to stay any longer, while others are trying to get in...
"...That's the one who belongs to Sheep...I think he's an elder brother..."
Bai Xuemei touched her braid with her hands and said with a smile on her face.
How could the little girl resist Han Cheng's coaxing? It didn't take long for her to completely switch sides, but Han Cheng obeyed.
After solving the problem of the zodiac signs of the child bride, Han Cheng also corrected the zodiac signs of the minors.
In principle, it is based on blind estimates such as height, so as to prevent the difference between the zodiac sign and the true age.
As for those who were adults, Han Cheng let go and ignored them, letting them do whatever they wanted.
After all, his biggest purpose in figuring out the zodiac sign was to cooperate with the Qingque chronological system and change the way people in the tribe judge whether they are adults based on their height...
While the zodiac sign craze has emerged in the Qingque tribe, other things have not stopped.
With iron axes, chisels, and saws, which are the most needed things for carpenters, the wooden columbine also took shape bit by bit through Han Cheng and Lame's exploration and experiments.
Han Cheng remembered the shape of the columbine clearly, but he didn't understand how it was made.
For example, how is the wooden bucket with seeds on it synthesized, how are the three hollow columbine legs connected to the holes under the wooden bucket, and how do you ensure that the same number of seeds enter the three legs...
These specific problems need to be solved by them.
With the right tools, although these things are troublesome, they can be done bit by bit.
The millet growing in the millet field on the west side of Qingque tribe is getting stronger and stronger.
Although the scorching sun often makes them wilted, behind the wilting, they are full of vitality.
Hot sunlight is more conducive to photosynthesis.
If you want to wear the crown, you must inherit it.
Not only people, but also millet want to have a good harvest.
The early crop of millet has begun to ear, and at first glance, it looks like dogtail grass.
If this trend continues, the first crop of millet will be harvested in just a few months.
The Qingque tribe will also usher in its first real food harvest.
It's a pity that we can't find wheat now. If we can find wheat, after the millet is harvested, we can plant another crop of wheat, two seasons a year, and we can increase our income and production.
Fortunately, there is a lot of land around the Qingque tribe that can be reclaimed for farmland. It does not matter if it is left fallow all year round.
At this time, the contradiction between man and land is not acute at all, and the vast land and sparse population are not enough to describe the current situation.
These numerous lands that can grow food, as well as the millet that strives to grow under the sun's rays, are the foundation for Han Cheng to lead the people of the tribe to stability and prosperity.
