Chapter IX Responsibilities
Wang Lang looked at the crowd still sad and sighed and said, "I know what you are doing. I will be this leader. Don't worry, I will lead everyone to live."
After Wang Lang said that, Fanxing excitedly translated Wang Lang's words. As someone who had been with Wang Lang for three months, Fanxing knew Wang Lang's ability very well. With his leadership, the tribe could continue and the tribe's life would improve.
When the tribe heard that Wang Lang was willing to take them in, the crowd suddenly became noisy. Some people knelt on the ground, raised their hands high, and chanted words in front of the sky. The pious look was obviously thanking the gods for guiding them.
After everyone calmed down, Wang Lang said in a deep voice: "I know you would have moved to other places before the rainy season came, but if I were asked to be this leader, I would not have moved." After saying that, he took a look at Fanxing, Fanxing understood and translated the words.
Hearing this news, the crowd started talking and the last strong young man said to Wang Lang: "It is difficult to catch prey in the rainy season. If we don't go to other places, what should we eat?"
Wang Lang looked at this young man. This young man was the two red guys he had communicated with Wang Lang before, but Wang Lang later learned that his name was Jianya and was the son of the old patriarch.
"Although the rainstorm continues in the rainy season, we don't have to go out to hunt every day. You may have heard Fanxing say that I have raised some animals here. Although there are not many, I don't need to go out to hunt every day."
After listening to this, Jianya turned around and looked at some pheasants and some big mice in the corner of the yard. He gradually understood what Wang Lang meant. Since he had never done anything like raising animals in captivity before, he still felt a little worried.
"Lang, what you said makes sense, but you were only two people before, but now we have more people than ten fingers. How can we eat these animals enough?"
Wang Lang looked at Jianya and smiled and said, "Jianya, have you ever thought that I had caught these animals by myself before, and it would be enough for two people to feed them. If we have more people, we can catch more animals. They can give birth to children and lay eggs, and they reproduce very quickly. As long as we work hard, our food will only turn out to be more and more."
After hearing this, Jianya's frowning was a little relieved.
Wang Lang continued to ask without waiting for him to continue asking: "Although the rain is flooded in the rainy season, as the river water increases, the number of fish in the water will increase. I will teach you how to catch fish. The number of fish in the water is enough for us to eat for several rainy seasons. What else do you have to worry about?"
Fanxing translated Wang Lang's words.
Although the rainy season does not move, although it is contrary to their survival, if there is enough food, why would you risk going a long way? People accepted Wang Lang's statement.
"Before the rainy season comes, we must make enough preparations. I will arrange tasks for you tomorrow. The cave here is too small. You will live outside the cave during this period. With the protection of this wall, you will not be in danger."
The tribe members looked at the rows of sturdy wooden walls and felt much more at ease. As long as it didn't rain, there was no big difference between sleeping inside and outside the cave.
By the bonfire at night, Wang Lang looked at the people sleeping on the ground and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became much heavier. He said it was very relaxed, but if he opened his mouth and waited for him, Wang Lang was a little confident if he could take them to live in this wild world with him.
People in their sleep cannot feel the mood of their leader. They have been wandering for a long time, making them have nightmares one after another every night. Occasionally, a few people in the sleeping crowd wake up from their sleep, get up to see their companions around them, and dare to lie down with peace of mind.
Looking at the primitive man who was in horror at these moments, Wang Lang couldn't help but look at the night sky, "If there is really a god, then what is the purpose of letting me come to this world?" In the midst of random thoughts, Wang Lang sighed and lay on the ground and fell asleep unconsciously.
The next day, the sun had just risen, and people had already gotten up, surrounded by Wang Lang and were waiting for Wang Lang's instructions.
"Women and children follow the stars to learn to weave ropes, collect wild fruits, and the men and I go to chop bamboo and make bows and arrows."
Wang Lang thought about it all night. Since he became this leader, he naturally had to lead the tribe to live a better life, let the women weave a large number of ropes, and each men gave a bow and arrow. As long as the safety issues were solved, the subsequent construction could be carried out steadily.
Expanding residential areas, building houses, weaving nets and fishing, tying rafts, and domesticating animals is waiting for Wang Lang to do a series of things. If possible, Wang Lang is trying to find some metal mines to himself. Using stones as weapons is too low-end for modern people. Of course, he could not do it alone before. Now with manpower, Wang Lang decided to let his tribe go out of the Stone Age.
Everyone has their own affairs, and Wang Lang's current food is enough for these people to eat for a few days, which is enough for Wang Lang's small tribe to go through the initial preparation stage.
In three days, with the efforts of everyone, Wang Lang made seven or eight bows, hundreds of arrows, more than a dozen stone spears, a large number of ropes and fishing nets.
With these things, Wang Lang has increased a lot of confidence in his future.
Today, Wang Lang brought everyone from the tribe and came to the river with fishing nets.
Before, for Wang Lang, fishing was enough, but if you use a land cage for too many people, it would obviously be inefficient. It was the first time for Wang Lang to catch fish with fishing nets, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
If fish are caught, it is a good start for this newly formed tribe. If failure is done, it will greatly damage everyone's confidence. Wang Lang secretly prays to the various gods he knows.
As the rainy season is coming, the river water has increased significantly during this period, but the river is not turbulent and its depth has reached its thigh. The river surface is about two meters wider than during the dry season. If it is rainy, this small river will be twice as large as it is now. During that period, fishing can only be done with rafts.
