Chapter 22

In the evening, Zhang Jingtao and Ah Hui began to look for a place to stay before the sun went down.

After searching for a long time, the two found a small cliff beside a mountain stream in a bamboo forest.

The two used hemp rope to tie the bamboos on the cliff for three weeks to form a barrier.

Then, on both sides of the mountain road up the cliff, bamboo forks or bamboo spears like hedgehogs were inserted by pile driving, stuck on the road up the cliff, and then the bamboo trunks threaded with ropes were connected between the bamboo spears.

Use it as langan.

He also nailed bamboo sticks to the bamboo boat and bamboo shield to fix them, and then used hemp rope to pull them to strengthen the fence and block the mountain wind.

Seven domestic animals were placed behind the fence to guard them.

At night, dogs bark loudly in the mountains and forests. In the distant mountains, there are pairs of scary bright spots. When the heads of the wild dogs are slightly tilted upward, the concentrated light reflects the light of the moon, making that one

The dark shadow was like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

The hash wolves howled.

Soon, a few wild dogs came to this small camp tentatively and immediately started a collision.

But they found that they could not break through the bamboo spear that was deeply embedded in the soil. A wild dog went to bite the bamboo spear and tried to drag the bamboo away, but it was hit by a stone from the two Silk tribe members.

After a few rounds, a dog was hit in the head with a stone by Zhang Jingtao and died on the spot. The other dogs were still unable to enter the Silk Clan's camp.

After a few more wild dogs hit a few stones, these wild dogs crossed their legs and ran away.

After that, although no wild dogs attacked the camp again, there were always some bright eyes like evil spirits appearing in the distance in the dark night.

The two people from the Silk Clan did not dare to go to bed early.

That night, with the bright moon in the sky, Zhang Jingtao and Ah Hui sat on the rocks, looking into the distance to the south.

After watching for a while, Zhang Jingtao saw Ah Hui silently shedding crystal tears.

Indeed, there are clansmen there, the mother-in-law, father-in-law and all the pet animals buried there.

Zhang Jingtao was also sad, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Because these experiences were just converted into Chinese in his own mind, they became richer.

It's not that these ape-men can really say a lot of complex things. In fact, even Ah Hey, who is very smart and has created many sounds, has to use gestures to express something.

Zhang Jingtao could only hold Ah Hui's little hand and silently watch the southern starry sky with her.

At night, Ah Hui curled up in Zhang Jingtao's arms, used an untied shield to block the wind, and covered herself with a linen blanket to sleep.

There was a domestic animal warning, and the two believed they would wake up in time if there was danger.

Zhang Jingtao hugged Ah Hui, feeling the young and beautiful body of the little girl, and fell into a deep sleep under the fatigue.

There was no warning from domestic animals late at night.

After that, those wild dogs kept appearing, and after being repelled by the two of them for a few waves, they probably disappeared because they were involved in the territory of other beasts.

It can be imagined that along the way, the two of them stopped and walked, always had to deal with wild animals, find new paths, and follow the direction identified by Grandma, which was very difficult.

And the speed is very slow, because every time they find a good place to camp in the afternoon, they will stop and rest early.

To avoid being attacked by wild animals at night.

Fortunately, on this land, although rivers only appear when flash floods come, you can still encounter pools and swamps created by flash floods from time to time.

Most of the water in those pools is quite clear. Therefore, with so many pools, you don't have to worry about large beasts coming with the water source. Basically, as long as there are no wild beasts nearby, there will be no worries.

For this reason, after eating dog meat for several days, Zhang Jingtao finally ran out of food. Even when Zhang Jingtao thought he was going to chew the turf, he was surprised to see the firewood circle jumping into the pool, and within a few seconds he caught a piece of fat.

The fish was thrown in front of him, and then he showed the innocent and happy smile of the Shiba Inu.

"It seems that you are the spirit of the lake. The pronunciation is the same as that of fox, so I changed your name to dog, right?" Zhang Jingtao was surprised. It was the first time he discovered that dogs are the ones who fish.

A master, not a cat, nor a dog, nor a fox.

For this reason, dogs and dogs are different.

In the past, like everyone else, he couldn't figure out why there was a dog and it was called a dog.

Only then did I realize that this is the difference between them.

So, no matter how esoteric and difficult to understand the word dog is, it should always mean a lakeside creature that relies on water to draw water.

Of course, the use of characters in civilization is indeed not as simple as pictograms. Chinese has never been a simple pictograph, but a form of pictographic characters.

However, if someone teaches the inheritance of civilization, then the words must be very clear and understandable.

Moreover, when you learn a word, you can also learn civilized knowledge at the same time.

Just like the word wolf, just like the word dog.

When the fish was caught in the firewood circle, Ah Hui was by the water, washing and eating a few mint leaves that he had picked, and then he said "Eh", but because he was holding food in his mouth, the "Eh" turned into "Eh"

'fish', so this caught food was called fish.

Of course, this only means that Ajie gave fish a compound Chinese pronunciation. It does not mean that there is no animal pronunciation for fish in animal language.

The savages on the southern coast still have animalistic names for fish because they occasionally pick up sea fish on the beach.

However, after the savage tribes spread to the Chu region and developed into ape-men, the ape-men rarely used this animal sound, and many ape-men forgot it.

Because ape-men who only use sticks as weapons are incapable of catching fish.

However, most apes will naturally give up when they encounter difficult things to deal with, and they will change their food. This is no different from the habits of monkeys.

Monkeys can use tools. They can use stones to smash nut shells, and they are very skillful.

However, if you let it hit the fish with a stick or stone, it would be strange if it could hit it.

Therefore, humans have never been the only ones who can use tools. However, simply using simple tools does not actually lead to the development of civilization.

Civilization has its contingency.

It's the only one.

In fact, according to the oral tradition of the ape people here, it is said that human beings have existed since the beginning of time, and have existed for countless billions of years. However, it was only because of the appearance of Ah Hu that we developed a complex language and a truly creative life.

Supplies.

"There are many better-walked pools around this pool, and they are all surrounded by large bushes, which prevent animals from coming here. No animals will come to the pool to relieve themselves. The water is very clean. This fish should be very clean.

Yes, I can definitely eat it." The little girl's eyes lit up.

She said this because apes always eat raw meat, and they are very aware that some animals have parasites. Apes often eat bad meat and get stomachaches soon after.
