Immortality, but people in primitive society

As daylight approached, the group of people kneeling down actually began to kowtow.

This scene made Bai Tian shudder!

Kneeling down and kowtowing, behind this act lies oppression and exploitation.

But this is primitive society, an era when people are relatively fair to each other, and this phenomenon should not occur.

From my impression during the day, even if there were differences in status within the tribe, they would not be too obvious. Most people showed more respect and fear for the clan leader and others, but they did not go to the extent of kneeling and kowtowing.

Bai Tian walked up to the dead tiger and looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing with a frown. His expression was particularly solemn.

They were mumbling something, but from their expressions, it was clear they were simply expressing their gratitude. But to him, this sound was like a curse, sending a chill down his spine.

Bai Tian said gloomily, "I don't understand what you are saying. Get up."

Those people still didn't stand up, especially the older ones, who were filled with tears of gratitude. On the other hand, the children at the back didn't kneel, but just looked on in confusion.

Bai Tian shouted loudly: "Stand up!"

The deep roar frightened everyone, and everyone's face showed fear. Then, they stood up trembling.

These are not primitive people at all, they are simply a group of slaves!

However, we are clearly still in a primitive society, and have only recently entered a patriarchal society, so how come we have already entered a slave society?!

Bai Tian looked at them with a frown on his face, gesturing and saying, "Why are you kneeling?"

A relatively older man stepped forward and unbuttoned his animal skin. Inside, he saw many hieroglyphs written in animal blood.

The middle-aged man handed the clothes to Bai Tian while chattering something. Of course, Bai Tian didn't understand.

He took a look at the words on the clothes and was shocked again. The words on the clothes were still hieroglyphics, but they were getting closer and closer to words, rather than just crude drawings.

Of course, this also means that you can’t understand it during the day!

What is certain is that the civilization of this tribe is very advanced, beyond the daytime's understanding of this era.

Words, enslavement...

During the day, he returned the animal skins and clothes to the other party, then turned around and pulled the spear out of the tiger's head. He cleared a piece of mud on the ground and began to draw a little man on it.

Hieroglyphics have a big problem: they become even more difficult to understand as they evolve. On the contrary, the earliest pictorial representations of small figures are the easiest to understand.

Of course, the meaning that can be expressed by drawing little people is limited.

During the day, he didn't ask about the kneeling incident, but directly explained that he delivered a baby for a pregnant woman, but the pregnant woman died.

The other party seemed to understand, and he also drew a little figure on the ground with a spear. He drew very skillfully, and it was obvious that he was very knowledgeable in this field.

A large group of people, fighting each other, and then separated...

It should be said that there was internal fighting among their tribes, and then the tribes dispersed, and they chose to migrate.

Then the middle-aged man continued to draw: two people, one with a big belly, the other lying down...

Of course I could understand it during the day, it meant that the man of the pregnant woman was dead!

This was actually good news for Bai Tian, ​​so he drew a little man and replied: The pregnant woman lies down, and I will raise the child.

The middle-aged man nodded gratefully, saying something that I couldn't understand.

I tried to communicate with the other party during the day, but unfortunately, due to the language barrier, communication was too difficult.

Especially if you want to understand the development of another civilization, you can't just rely on villains to draw it...

Return to the cave during the day and ask Suling to bring the child over.

Su Ling was not happy at first, worried that the other party would take the child away. But when Bai Tian told her that the child's parents were already dead, Su Ling finally felt relieved.

For the next few days, Bai Tian and Su Ling stayed with the people of this tribe.

The people in this tribe are actually quite kind. The only bad thing is that they sometimes act too humble.

The reason why I choose to be with them during the day is, firstly, because I am interested in their civilization, and secondly, because newborns need breast milk.

After spending some time together, Bai Tian gradually became able to communicate with them and learned about the past of this tribe.

A tribe called Fansheng was originally a large tribe with three or four hundred people.

Later, due to internal strife and attacks by wild beasts, many people died and the tribe disbanded.

This branch of theirs chose to migrate eastward, and it took them a long time to leave.

Bai Tian asked the patriarch why they kneeled down, and the patriarch's answer shocked Bai Tian: They were born to kneel down!

Who the hell is born to kneel?!

Later, during the day, I realized that kneeling was a normal behavior in the prosperous tribe and it was not considered enslavement. They would kneel when they were afraid, and they would kneel when they were happy. Their knees were very weak.

The reason they always appear humble is actually because they are afraid, because they killed a tiger with a spear during the day.

This answer made Bai Tian feel relieved. He thought that a certain tribe had developed slavery, which was terrifying.

Although according to the course of history, primitive society will sooner or later develop into a slave society, Bai Tian still hopes that it will not come so soon.

He was quite opposed to both slave society and feudal society. After all, his ancestors had shed a lot of blood to overthrow these systems.

Of course, Bai Tian also knew clearly that he was powerless to change history. If slavery was really going to happen, he would not be able to stop the wheel of history...

As for the text, the explanation given by the prosperous clan leader was that he didn’t know!

In the original large tribe, he was not yet the chief, but later the tribe dispersed and migrated, and he was forced to take the position, so he only knew how to write, but he was not clear about the evolution of the writing.

This made Bai Tian somewhat disappointed. He had been thinking about using the tribe's writing system as a reference to create a writing system that truly belonged to this world...

After several days, the prosperous tribe planned to continue its migration.

Bai Tian couldn't contain his curiosity and asked the leader of the Fanhua tribe, "You keep migrating, where are you going?"

Chief Fanhua explained, "We plan to keep going east to find a larger tribe. A long time ago, someone from our tribe came back from that big tribe, and they said it was a great place."

"They said that the tribe would accept foreign tribes, and they built something called a city to prevent attacks from wild beasts."

city?!

Bai Tian's heart was trembling, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the name of that tribe?"

Chief Fanhua shook his head: "I don't know. The people who returned from our tribe couldn't understand what they said. However, that tribe has adults and children... Oh, and did you know that there are actually two kinds of people in the forest? One kind is very big and very strong, but they move very slowly."

I felt excited listening to it during the day, and the more I listened, the more it sounded like a mixture of the Lai Ri Tribe and the Ping Shan Tribe!

In the city, adults and children are mixed together, and it is heading east!
