Transmigrated into the Primitive Wilderness as a Great God - Chapter 81
Today is the first day of the trading month, and Qin Fei was woken up by the loud noises. Rubbing his eyes in a daze, Saree kissed his forehead and rubbed his slightly long hair. She has been sleeping in the wild for the past few days. Qin Fei has not slept very well. She managed to get a good night’s sleep in the tent today, but she didn’t expect it to be lively so early.
Qin Fei stretched a little unwillingly, sighed, and returned a good morning kiss to Saree. The two packed up and walked out of the tent.
It was very lively outside the tents. The tents of each tribe were separated by a short distance. In the open space in front of the tents, there were already many items that they wanted to exchange. And one after another, some items were taken out of the tent and displayed on the ground in front of the tent.
Because everyone in Nata had already displayed the items yesterday, and some items were reserved at that time, there were not too many items in front of the tribe’s tent today. But that doesn’t mean that the Nata tribe is not busy, they are busy dealing with those who want to exchange for various backpacks, baskets and reservations.
One of the males, who was assigned by Saree to be temporarily in charge of some trading matters, was scratching his head anxiously. Seeing that Sarei and Qin Fei got out of the tent, they were overjoyed and ran over immediately. After a burst of excitement, Qin Fei finally understood his troubles—there were too many bookings, and this young man with a good clan memory, although he was extremely excited about getting more things, was also very excited. For the numerous exchange items and the required backpacks and baskets, it is completely impossible to remember.
Qin Fei patted the male on the shoulder comfortingly, and asked Sarei to find some wood that was burned in the tribal camp yesterday, and found another piece of rough leather. Then ask the tribes who want to exchange to find someone to be a representative, stand in line one by one in front of the tent and say it out loud. Not only should you explain in detail what you want to exchange, but also what you want to exchange. Qin Fei hid in the tent with black carbon ash, and slowly recorded all these on the animal skin.
Saree also followed the tent, watching Qin Fei write strange symbols on the animal skin with a look of surprise. It was not until Qin Fei finished recording and read aloud in the tent that the items exchanged by various tribes and the list of items to be exchanged were checked, and Saree woke up.
Qin Fei looked at Saree looking at the things on the animal skin with admiration, then pulled him to sit down, pointed to a row of words on it, and explained to him, “This is a word, a word, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of text. Symbols. Just like you would use some symbols or patterns to warn people, the people in our place use this kind of thing to record various things, such as some trivial things in life, big and small things that happened in the tribe, or use it to record themselves The mood…always useful…”
Saree looked up at Qin Fei in astonishment, “Is this, is this the language of God?” In his opinion, there is no other possibility than this.
Qin Fei sighed and thought for a while, “How do you say it? Our ancestors also went through the process of expressing with simple symbols like you, and gradually summed up and changed to get more precise symbols such as words. So this is not What God’s language, as long as I teach you, you can also learn it.”
Saree’s eyes lit up, “Really, can I really learn?”
It was rare for Qin Fei to see that Saree would show such a cute expression, and she couldn’t help sighing, it was indeed a father and son. Xiaobu will also become such a handsome and handsome guy with European temperament in the future. He pulled Saree and kissed him on the face, just like every time he kissed Xiaobu, and then pointed to the four black characters on the animal’s skin and read, “Nata tribe. Na, tower, tribe, tribe— – These four words are our Nata tribe.”
Saree’s voice was a little stiff, and he followed him slowly and excitedly, chewing on those unique symbols. At the end, he also stretched out his hand, carefully clicked on the bottom of each word, and read it word by word to confirm.
So the two of them played a game of recitation, Qin Fei recited one by one, and Sarei followed behind to learn. What surprised Qin Fei was that Saree’s memory was surprisingly good. Qin Fei taught it several times, and he actually memorized a lot of words, especially the Nata tribe. No matter how Qin Fei pointed out these words upside down, Sarei could say them accurately. Qin Fei was overjoyed, and encouraged him to give Sarei a kiss on the face. Unexpectedly, Uncle Sa, whose face was comparable to animal skin, actually blushed.
Saree coughed a few times in embarrassment, raised his finger, pointed to the numbers on the animal skin and asked curiously, “What are these symbols? You never said what these symbols are used for.”
Qin Fei smirked secretly in her heart for a while, until Saree cast a questioning look at him again, and then explained slowly, “This is a number. It is also a symbol. We use it to record quantities and calculate some things. “
Saree frowned, “I can understand the number of records now, so what is the calculation… What does the calculation do?”
Qin Fei said patiently and slowly, “Calculate, calculate, calculate… how do you say it, for example, if we go to catch a bunch of baa beasts today, should we order the number after returning to the tribe? Later, we may Eat a few, and there will be more baa beasts to be captured in the future. In this way, the number of baa beasts is not fixed, but always increases and decreases. If there is no number, it will be very troublesome, and you can only keep it. Counting over and over again. But I see that the males in our tribe who are responsible for this are still very powerful, so there is no rush to let everyone learn numbers and characters. After all, it is not a good time to learn. Everyone will not be so busy. At that time, we will have a lot of time to study, and everyone will study more seriously.”
Looking at Sarei’s expression that seemed to understand but not understanding, Qin Fei knew that Sarei understood some of this explanation, but he still didn’t quite understand it. He rolled his eyes, “I’ll give you another example. You see, if there are no numbers now, then we can’t record how many backpacks and baskets each tribe needs to exchange. That’s what numbers are for.”
Saree nodded in understanding, and Qin Fei said again, “Then do you know how many baskets and baskets we have to make in total? How many people and how long will it take to complete so many baskets and baskets?”
Saree frowned, “There’s no way to know this. Could it be that you can tell us this?”
Qin Fei patted Saree on the shoulder happily, and said with a teachable expression, “Not only can you tell us these, but there are many, many other wonderful uses, and I will give them to you slowly in the future.”
Sarei stared at Qin Fei’s bright smile, “Qin Fei, you are so kind to me…” Saying that, Sarei couldn’t help kissing Qin Fei’s bright eyes.
“Patriarch, I’ll come back later.” Just as the two of them were in love, an angry male voice broke the atmosphere. Qin Fei pushed Sarai away with a blushing face, and Sarei glared at the male who pretended to leave.
The male smiled and scratched his hair, “Patriarch, there are several females from the tribe who want me to come and ask if they can be exchanged for their baskets and backs. In fact, I think they all want to join the Nata tribe.”
Speaking of that, the male’s face turned red slowly, and he quickly glanced at Qin Fei and Sarei. Saree laughed and scolded, “Tell me, which female do you like? Which tribe does the other party belong to?”
The young male immediately looked surprised, and immediately said the name and clan of the other party. Sarei and Qin Fei glanced at each other, and it seemed that it was time to change more female Hui tribes. After all, there are still many adult males in the tribe who are “bachelors”.
Although Qin Fei doesn’t like this method of trading women with food and items, in essence, he is a modern person who respects women very much. This primitive method really makes him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
But there is a saying that “do as the locals do”, who told him to fall into such a wild time and space. Apart from exchanging food and items for females, Qin Fei really couldn’t think of any other good way. The males of the Nata tribe should never be allowed to carry bridal sedan chairs over the mountains to give dowry gifts and marry their wives. It is estimated that even if the people of the Nata tribe are willing to do what he said, the other tribe will be frightened because they have never seen such a battle. If he doesn’t get it right, he might even provoke an inter-tribal war, then his sins will be big, and good things will turn into bad things. So Qin Fei honestly followed the ‘barbaric’ rules here, and obediently used food and items to exchange females from other tribes.
Looking at the dozen or so females standing in front of the tent, Qin Fei was speechless. They looked at him and Saree with bright eyes, and they didn’t look like they were forced at all. Look at the 20 bachelors who didn’t have a “daughter-in-law”, and looked at these females so eagerly that they almost didn’t put their eyeballs on them.
Saree coughed a few times before the males of the Nata tribe looked back. Saree sighed lightly, if it wasn’t for Qin Fei, they might only be able to exchange for one or two females at most, and there would still be a few adult males in the clan who would continue to live without females.
Under Qin Fei’s suggestion, Sarei asked people to take a few small squares cut from water ukaka, and each of the females gave one as a gift. This thing can be tied around the neck, or used to wrap hair, or tie it.
The females were overjoyed, and they all expressed their gratitude.
Saree also told them that they can still live in their tribe’s camp now, and when the fair is over, the males of the Nata tribe will take them away with them. And their tribes can also go to the Nata tribe to collect the baskets, sacks, and animal traps to be traded after a certain period of time after the end of the trading month.
After listening to Saree’s words, most of the females happily returned to their tribe’s camp, and a few bold females chatted happily with some males of the Nata tribe. Looking at these young people who were just beginning to fall in love, Qin Fei suddenly felt like an old man with black lines all over his head. However, he soon had no time to think about this issue, not far away, a pair of females were staring at him and Saree with eager eyes. Or rather, staring at the water Ukaka displayed in front of the two of them. Seeing their eagerness to rush over and take everything away, Qin Fei felt that he and Saree were bullies who loved and bullied women from good families.
Finally, a few bold females discussed it and slowly walked towards Saree. Several people pushed out one of the females, and the female cowardly expressed their thoughts. They are all females of the Huga tribe, and they want to exchange some of the things they have accumulated in exchange for some ‘water silk’.
Saree frowned. He didn’t think these females could come up with anything that could be exchanged. Compared with food, salt, females and some necessities of life, they didn’t want to exchange other things. He asked Qin Fei with his eyes, Qin Fei even blinked slightly and agreed. Saree was a little surprised, thinking that he had made a mistake. After confirming it again, Qin Fei blinked and agreed.
Saree sighed and announced loudly that if the females could come up with something that satisfied the Nata tribe, they could also exchange beautiful ‘water silk’.
Just this sentence, the exchange area is full of boiling, and many females are surrounded by the things they have accumulated. Most of them were bone decorations that were of no use, but Qin Fei thought it was worthless, so she gave them a water Ukaka handkerchief, and the females were all delighted.
There are exceptions, though. One female even took out a seed that looked like rice. The seeds were almost the size of peanuts, and Qin Fei was dumbfounded. The female exchanged such an inferior thing, and was laughed at by the people around her. Qin Fei’s stunned expression made her mistakenly think that her things could not be exchanged, and she was immediately disappointed. Unexpectedly, Qin Fei told her immediately that if she could get more, he could exchange her for a large piece of ‘water silk’ that she liked.
The female was overjoyed and ran back immediately to retrieve a bag of seeds wrapped in animal skins, which turned out to be full of seeds that looked like rice.
Qin Fei didn’t blunder, not only gave her a large piece of water ukuka, but also gave her two more water ukuka veils. The other females were very hot-eyed when they saw it, and did not know why the pile of unpalatable food was treated like this. Qin Fei said that if there are females who can come up with different species, then they can also get a large piece of ‘water silk’.
Next, there were two more females, who exchanged a large soybean, which was smaller than quail eggs, and some unknown edible fruit seeds in the wild, in exchange for large pieces of water ukaka.
However, the females that were exchanged later were nothing new, and Qin Fei still gave them some small pieces of water ukuka. Qin Fei planned to give those gadgets back to the children of the tribe. After all, in this wild era, there are not many fun things to give children to play, and it is impossible to say that if you don’t bring back some gifts once you go out. As for those seeds, Qin Fei naturally had to make good use of them.
