In such a primitive society with extremely backward productivity, it is impossible for those giant aborigines to "eat". Therefore, after having some food in their stomach, they basically rest and raise fat. No one will exercise to lose weight.
Moreover, before night, the giant Aborigines were ready to sleep. After all, there were no other entertainment.
In fact, not to mention the giant aborigines, even in the more civilized and advanced monastic world, most people are ready to sleep after dark. Only those officials and businessmen will have the ability and opportunity to go to those brothels and Chu halls for recreation at night.
The so-called "nightlife", including staying at home late or even staying up all night, is probably only enjoyed by people in the world of science and technology. Whether it''s going to bars, singing, barbecue, or playing games online at home, the rich have their nightlife and the poor have their pastimes.
This giant aboriginal tribe has not even formed its language and characters. It has no chance to read books at night. In addition to making people, it has to sleep.
The giant aborigines can''t build houses yet, so the place where they live is actually an incomparably huge cave. This is extremely huge, of course, from the perspective of "normal people". These giants would barely be able to protect themselves from the wind and rain.
As soon as it was dark, the giant aborigines had all arrived at the cave, and then several strong giants moved thick logs to cover the cave. They are just a little taller, and like "normal people", they are afraid of wild animals or poisonous snakes running in when they sleep.
As the sky turned dark, the cave was almost out of reach because there was no campfire. At the same time, some giant aborigines began the only entertainment at night and began to work hard to create new life.
Fortunately, ye Zan''s target is an old man and a young man. At this time, they have fallen asleep.
The old man, lying near the entrance of the cave, laid almost nothing on the ground, but cleaned up the "stones" that hurt people. He slept at the entrance of the cave. If any beast rushed in from the outside, he could "block the robbery" for other people in the tribe. It sounds cruel, but if it doesn''t have such effect, I''m afraid he will get less food.
Let alone respecting the old and loving the young, an ethnic group that has not even formed a language and writing can only be regarded as a group of social animals now. There is a saying in ancient China that "Cang is honest and knows etiquette, and enough food and clothing knows honor and Disgrace". These giant aborigines are far from that level.
"Well, what''s this place?" the old man fell asleep and suddenly found himself in a strange place. He looked around curiously and worried. His question is not what he said, but what he thought in his heart. After all, even if there is no standard language, he can know what he is thinking and always has the meaning he wants to express.
The old man looked around and found that his strange place looked a little like a cave, but it was very different from the cave. For example, the commonly known caves tend to be round, and there are always prominent stones in them. But now, the cave he saw in his eyes not only looked square, but also the cave walls were regular and even smooth.
After looking at it for a moment, the old man felt that there seemed to be no danger. Then he dared to walk around and want to know more about the strange cave. He came to a "cave wall" and found that there was something on the smooth cave wall. It was scratches that formed strange patterns.
Although the giant Aborigines have no words, they still have some instinct to remember events, or they can be said to be the sprouting teeth of words. However, they often draw what they think according to their own ideas. As a result, they may not be able to understand what they write down in the future.
Now, facing the "figure" on the cave wall, although he had never seen it before, the old man understood it at the first sight.
"These... It turns out that this figure means this... That figure can express that meaning..." the old man looked at the figures on the wall very carefully and felt more and more excited. He had no way to express his original full thoughts, but now he finally had a way to express them. He just felt very happy in his heart.
While reading, the old man suddenly remembered that if he wrote down these figures, wouldn''t he be able to record something in the future? Although the living conditions of the tribe are very poor and there are few special things, there will be something worth recording in the end.
So, after reading all the figures, the old man turned back and touched them one by one from the beginning. He read it very carefully this time. He touched each pattern many times, so that he could write down how to draw such a pattern.
In fact, under the control of the Lin brothers and sisters, the old man can still write down these words clearly even if he wakes up from his dream. However, the old man did not know that he was guided in his dream, and naturally he did not know whether he could write down these things. Therefore, in order not to miss such an opportunity, the old man didn''t have the slightest intention to be lazy, so he studied clumsily there one by one.
On the other hand, the giant boy selected by Ye Zan and others slept in a much better place than the old man. After all, even primitive people know that children are related to the reproduction of tribes. Therefore, even if they don''t hold the children in their hands, they will still give them some "preferential treatment" to a certain extent.
The boy not only slept in the hole, but also spread several animal skins under him, which was much more comfortable than the old man.
At this time, the teenager also entered the dream, but what he saw was different from that of the old man. The boy''s dream is like returning to the tribe''s day. He is in front of the cave where the tribe lives. The boy didn''t know he was dreaming. As usual, he was looking forward to the return of hunting people. At the same time, he looked around bored and wanted to find something interesting to play.
Then the boy saw a black stone on the ground, and somehow he reached out and picked it up. He took the stone and knocked it on the nearby rock with a little force. Suddenly, he saw sparks everywhere. Some sparks fell into some withered grass, and soon there were wisps of smoke and flames.
In fact, in reality, if the boy sees such a scene, his first instinct is to throw away the stones and run to the adults in the tribe for help. After all, they can''t use fire. Just like other beasts, they also have a considerable fear of fire.
But in his dream, the boy was not so much doing these things as watching them happen. In other words, he in the dream is not him, at least not the one who will make all normal reactions when he is awake during the day.
Therefore, after seeing the withered grass burning a flame, the boy not only didn''t panic to run to the adult, but also "had an idea" to pick up some branches and add them to the pile of withered grass bit by bit. Moreover, his practice of adding firewood didn''t look like a beginner at all. He didn''t make any mistakes for beginners, so that the flame burned more and more smoothly.
After the fire burned, the boy ran to fetch some stones and surrounded the fire to form a rough looking stone furnace.
With the stove, what can it be used for? The boy stood there, adding some firewood from time to time, looking around for "inspiration". Soon, he saw a very "thin" stone slab not far away, which seemed to fit on the stove.
So the boy left the firewood in his hand and ran to move the slate over. Sure enough, it was right on the stove. With the continuous licking of the flame on the bottom of the slate, the top of the slate was soon very hot. The boy was also very "smart". He immediately knew that the slate could not be touched by hand, but it could be used to put some food.
Dreams have no logic! Just now, the boy was still waiting for the hunting adults to come back at the mouth of the cave, but it was time to distribute food. So, in the young man''s hand, there was a piece of bloody animal meat, which was then put on the hot stone slab.
The sound of "hissing Lala", accompanied by the aroma of barbecue, made the boy waiting by the stove swallow his saliva.
With the firewood he picked up, the boy picked up the animal meat on the slate and let the other side of the animal meat be roasted by the slate. The young man who had the first barbecue saw that the barbecue was ready to eat, so he picked up the barbecue with a wooden stick.
"It''s delicious!" the boy bit down a piece of meat and found that the roasted meat was much more delicious than usual.
An old man and a young man have different dreams. The old man learned words in his dream, but also learned language unconsciously. The young learned to make a fire, to barbecue food with fire, and to know the delicacy of cooked food.
Because everything in the world is huge, even the indigenous people have huge bodies. Therefore, the use of fire is indeed a big problem here. After all, if these giants use the bonfire of "normal people", they are like a big man to thread a needle, and they can''t barbecue food. However, if they use a "bonfire" suitable for their own size, they face the problem that the fire is difficult to control.
After all, if a giant with a height of more than ten feet magnifies a campfire in the same proportion, it is like lighting the Notre Dame of Paris. How can it be used for barbecue food. However, as the boy did, as long as the fire is surrounded and there is a transition between fire and food, it can be used to barbecue food.
Don''t underestimate that it''s just an extra slate! Without Ye Zan''s guidance, let these giants think for themselves. I really don''t know when they can think of using the power of fire in this way.
At dawn, the giants in the cave woke up one after another. The old people at the cave and the young people in the cave also sat up from the ground. However, after they sat up, they both seemed to fall into meditation and recalled their experiences in their dreams.
"I know how to record! I went to a strange place last night and learned how to record. I believe it must be a gift from God!" after recalling the dream, the old man found that he clearly remembered everything in the dream. Then he shouted to the people in the language of the tribe.
If the old man just said that he had learned to write, I''m afraid those people in the tribe may not pay attention to him. However, the old man mentioned the God and said that learning to write became a gift from the God. This time, the people in the tribe can''t turn a blind eye.
Yes, giants fear gods!
To fear gods, you don''t have to see gods. People''s fear of gods actually comes from their own incomprehension. For example, they can''t understand why there is thunder and rain in the sky, so they will regard thunder and rain as the power of God.
Although these giant aborigines are much larger than "normal people", they actually have no so-called "extraordinary power". Therefore, they also fear some natural phenomena because they are difficult to understand, and attribute them to the power of the gods.
"What do you mean, the gift of God?" the leader of the tribe came out and asked the old man.
"Yes, let''s see... In this way, this is a ''sheep''. We hunted a sheep yesterday, and we can write it down with this pattern. In addition, this is a ''fruit'', and the fruit forest we found before can be recorded with this pattern." as the old man said, he picked up a stone from the ground and scratched it on the cave wall around him.
Although the patterns drawn by the old man were not good-looking due to the uneven walls of the cave, at least they showed some appearance to the public.
In fact, for this tribe, records are not very useful. After all, there are not many things worth noting down. However, this "pattern" is a gift from God. Even if it is useless, the people in the tribe dare not despise it.
As for whether the old man was lying, no one in the tribe doubted. At this time, people have not awakened the "talent" of lying, so no one doubts whether others are lying.
There was a film about a world without lies. A man suddenly learned to lie and began to get up by lying.
The film, which may have a meaning, is similar to a fable to let people know the disadvantages of lying and warn people to be honest. However, there may also be a deep meaning, that is, it implies that the reason why human beings become human and defeat other kinds is because human beings are the liar.
