"So, what the hell is going on with the hunting" Taking advantage of the days when Lu Qiao was waiting for salt, Lin Ji took the opportunity to find out what this hunting was doing.
The wolf is a frequent visitor to the hunt, and the tribe has also been hunting, and many newcomers from other tribes have naturally gone to hunt.
From their direct words about hunting, which are more mythical than myths, there is naturally no way to understand: "There are winter witches who open their mouths, spit out ice, snow and cold winds, spit out fangs and long hair, and other monsters, and the tiger takes us to resist and kill" "Strange from the north, cold ice and snow, cannibalism and rampant, driving and killing" This is probably quite organized, and the unorganized ones are as follows: "There are long-headed finches that drive monsters and devour people."
"It's strange to eat people with stone legs." “” There is no need to listen to the direct statement at all, Lin Ji feels that listening to these strange words of them, he can't even make up a logical mythological story.
Therefore, Lin Ji used his own methods to ask them for information, and then analyzed and summarized them by himself.
"What specific things do you do when you're hunting?"
"What do you see?"
"Well, what is the terrain like there?"
After asking twenty or thirty people, Lin Ji got twenty or thirty fragmentary answers and a messy map.
Then, according to his own logic, he restored a scene of hunting, and speculated the reason why Hu Man led everyone to hunt.
In a word, it was the Tiger Barbarians who led everyone to the north to defend against mammoths and other beasts that migrated south in winter.
Lin Ji has already guessed this.
It's just that he couldn't figure it out before, except for a hook lake in the north, the rest of the place is almost a flat wilderness, where does this kind of defense come from?
From the information gathered, about 50 kilometers north from the Youda tribe, there is a place with a large lake on the right and a swamp on the left.
In the middle of the two sides there is a passage several kilometers wide.
The hunt takes place in front of this passage.
Seeing the map sorted out, Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, if the big lake was Gouhu, the swamp on the left was completely different from the memory of later generations.
In the topography of later generations, the western side of the Great Lake should have been a vast plain.
It is an important food producing area.
But now, Lin Ji asked many people, including Youda, who was familiar with the terrain, and everyone said that there was a swamp with shallow water and deep mud, spanning a range of nearly ten days, and there were few passages to communicate between the north and the south.
Of course, it is possible.
In the historical records of the next thousand years, Gouhu Lake has shrunk by half from a large lake of thousands of square kilometers.
After 10,000 years of land changes, the vicissitudes of the sea, and the swamp becoming fertile land is naturally not impossible.
In this way, Lin Ji finally figured out the meaning of hunting.
In winter, mammoths travel south to spend the winter, followed by saber-toothed tigers, which bring with them their natural enemies.
After these beasts enter the vast area south of the Hook Lake, the mammoths, which feed on the bark and roots of trees, can easily destroy the grassy and semi-crypt houses inhabited by the people here, and come into conflict with humans.
The fanged saber-toothed tiger can also easily prey on people who occasionally go out in winter.
This kind of injury will surely bring huge casualties to the prehistoric people who survived the winter in the bitter cold.
I don't know what year it began, the Human's people discovered the terrain of the east lake and the west lake in the north, just in the middle of the passage, so they organized themselves and began to stop these beasts from migrating south on this passage through which the beasts must migrate south.
It's called Hunting.
Driven by instinct, mammoths and others will naturally rush up this channel year after year.
And if the inhabitants of the south held the pass, the beasts might have bypassed the swamp from the west and entered the foothills north of the mountains to the west.
Or bypass Lake Gou from the east and enter the foothills to the east of Lake Gou.
In this way, naturally, there will be no mammoth saber-toothed tigers entering the southern plains.
The residents here can also spend a relatively peaceful winter.
People do not know that this is the instinct of the beast to migrate, and naturally this phenomenon can only be explained by various bizarre reasons.
Lin Ji figured out the essence of hunting, but was shocked by the magnificence and fearlessness of hunting.
I don't know how many years ago, maybe at that time the tigers were just a small tribe by the lake or the swamp, one day, after their houses were destroyed and their relatives and friends were killed, one or three or five people chased the mammoth or the saber-toothed tiger and killed it.
Since then, they have also made enemies of all these migratory animals.
They don't know how long this passed, but they found that the animals always moved north in spring and south in winter, and they only walked on the passage between the great lake and the swamp.
So when winter came again that year, the people of their entire tribe began to intercept the beasts on this passage.
If the passage had been wooded at that time, and they had set the grass on fire, perhaps they might have succeeded.
So one winter, they and all the people in the south enjoyed a winter of relative peace without the threat of this monster.
The next year they went again, because the grass and trees had been burned once, and they were not as tall as before, and they probably failed.
In the third year, unwilling to do so, they connected with other surrounding tribes and continued to encircle.

A year later, they were victorious and defeated, and more and more tribes were rallied to join them.
Gradually, the meat and fur obtained by hunting became their guarantee for winter, the teeth and bones of animals became their weapons and ornaments, and hunting became their lifelong mission.
In order to be highly organized, they developed more precise and complex rules that constrained the surrounding tribes as well as themselves.
At the beginning, the small tribe also became extremely large because of its adherence to the mission left by its ancestors, and the warriors were as many as sand, and the territory spanned hundreds of kilometers.
If the forest trail does not appear in this process, in a few decades or centuries, they will finally achieve the final success of this battle between man and beast.
Because in later generations, these animals really never appeared in this land again.
It is with this barbaric means that these prehistoric humans guarded their homeland, so that future generations could bloom the bright light of civilization on this land.
Figuring out these things, Lin Ji's respect for the tiger man spontaneously emerged.
Although the methods of these people are savage, although they are rough, although they are stupid, they do defend their homeland and that of all the tribes in the south, and this is worthy of the respect of the forest traces.
Lin Ji originally just wanted to send a hundred catties of salt to Human.
Now, Lin Ji decided to send three hundred catties of salt to Human as a sign of respect.
In addition to the salt accident, Lin Ji sent people to send six baskets of salted dried meat and two baskets of dried pickles, indicating that he had sent out all the things with salt.
At the same time, Lin Ji also sent twenty bronzes over.
This is this year's contribution share, sent in advance.
With these salts and pickles, it should be possible for some of the people of the tiger barbarians to take care of their bodies.
They still retain some of their blood-drinking habits, and their need for salt is less than in the days of pure farming.
If these are not enough, Lin Ji will send another batch before the hunt.
What do the people of Human feel when they see these things, but Lu Qiao saw that Lin Ji made these things "with great difficulty", and she was moved first, saying that she would also send the salt of the tribe to Human when she went back, so as to increase Human's combat power and make this year's hunting smoother. sent away Lu Qiao, and Lin Ji also began to prepare for hunting
