Black Dragon Kingdom Chapter 499

  Chapter 499 The Principle of Survival

   "Grandpa, why do we hunt here with bows and arrows? Doesn't our family have a big pasture?"

   "There are so many sheep in there, we can't eat them all, and we can sell them for a lot of money."

   "Hunting is bitter and tiring, and life-threatening."

  At night, in a cave glowing with fire, a boy of fifteen, sixteen or seventeen, wearing leather armor and holding a bow and arrow, said to his grandfather with a hint of complaint in his tone.

   Around the young man, there are six other young men over the age of fifteen who are also dressed as hunters.

  Hearing the boy's words, the other six boys also looked at their grandfather. Obviously, they didn't understand why their grandfather put them in such a dangerous environment.

  Hunting is a thing full of risks.

  In the forest, tiger, bear, wolf, pig, leopard, which one is easy to mess with?

   If you don't pay attention, their lives will be gone.

   Not to mention that there are many poisonous snakes and insects in the forest, and a large number of mosquitoes can also cause wound infections to them. The survival rate of hunters is really not high, and most of them will not live to be thirty years old.

  Faced with such a high death rate, the seven teenagers were very, very resistant.

   Their family is not a poor family. They have a large pasture with many cattle and sheep. Even if they don't eat meat, they can live by drinking milk and vegetables. There is no need to go here to hunt.

  The old man with a face full of wrinkles, holding firewood to add fire to the fire, listened to his grandson's complaints in his ears, and silently added some more firewood to make the fire burn brighter.

   Drive away dangers in the dark with flames.

   Seeing that the fire was already bright enough, the old man replied slowly: "The cattle and sheep on the farm are for people who make cattle and horses, and they are not what real people should eat."

   "You are my grandsons, I have to let you be human beings instead of doing things that look like human beings but are actually what cattle and horses should do."

   After two sentences, the old man stopped talking.

  The seven grandsons he led were the seven most ineffective among his more than fifty grandsons, so he took them into the forest to hunt in order to increase their survival rate.

  And his other more outstanding grandsons, led by his eight sons, are currently hunting in other places in the mountains and forests.

  What he said was something that could be passed down from family to family. Listen to what you understand, and he has nothing to do if you don't understand.

  Because it is smart people who can understand. After a smart person understands, they will naturally know what to do. Those who don't understand are just ordinary people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to control their mouths.

  The family heirlooms can't be explained too clearly.

  Arranging several grandsons to take turns to guard the midnight, the old man held his knife and bow and arrow, facing the entrance of the cave, and fell into a light sleep in the posture of being able to draw his weapon at any time.

   Early the next morning.

  The old man who woke up looked at his grandson who was supposed to keep watch at night, but now he had fallen asleep leaning against the wall, and sighed deeply again.

   Sighed in his heart: "If you leave me, how will my grandchildren live in the future?"

"The dangers in the forest are the dangers in the magnified version of society. If you don't maintain enough vigilance in your life and prevent unknown dangers in advance, it will be very easy to be calculated in the future. If you are not careful, your life may be lost. .”

   "Forget it, I will hold up my old bones and teach them. After all, they are my grandsons. I can't let them be bullied too hard outside."

  One of the reasons why he let his grandsons go hunting in the forest is that in the forest, the environment of the jungle is an enhanced version of a dangerous social environment.

   Only hunters who are always vigilant and prepared can survive in the forest.

  As long as he can survive in the forest, his grandchildren will be able to avoid many, many dangers with the vigilance they have acquired in the forest after entering society.

   Give an example.

  Among the bustling streets, there is a robber looking for someone to rob.

At this moment, two people walked out of the bank, one was full of vigilance, observing his surroundings all the time, put the backpack full of money directly on himself, and hung a knife on his waist On the surface, just like the hunters in the jungle telling those jackals, tigers and leopards that they are not to be messed with, telling some people with bad intentions that they are not to be messed with, almost puts anyone who wants to rob me of my money, and who I want to fight desperately. It's written all over my face.

  The second person carelessly held the backpack full of money in his hands, and walked outside without any precautions, and he was not vigilant at all, and he did not have a weapon on his waist.

  Faced with these two people, which one would the robber choose to rob?

  Normal robbers will rob the person who is not vigilant at all and has no weapons.

After all, the person he was vigilant about robbing may be discovered by the other party after he followed him halfway. Once he is discovered, the robbery must fail. You can also go to government officials.

  Even if he blocks the other party, and the other party fights with him with a knife, it is really hard to say who will live and who will die. The danger is too high and the success rate is too low, so it is not worthwhile.

On the contrary, the person who is not vigilant and has no weapons is different, as long as he quietly follows behind him, and when he reaches a place where there are few people, he will pretend to be walking faster and come to his side and rear. Grab the backpacks one by one, then run away as fast as possible, and the money will be in hand.

  If you don't grab it, you can still kill the opponent with your own knife, and the money still belongs to him.

  Normal robbers will choose to rob people who are not vigilant and have no weapons.

   Another example.

  There was a big landowner in a village. One day, the rich big landowner felt that his land was too little, and wanted to **** other people's land, trick him or buy it to increase his own land.

At this time, there are two families in the village, one is full of vigilance, not only has knives in the house, but also has bows and arrows, and they tell outsiders that their family is not easy to mess with, and it is not easy to fool around. Those who want to take advantage of his family should think about it.

  The other family is an honest and responsible family. Not only is it easy to fool, but there is no weapon in the house that can threaten the big landlord.

   And these two families own ten acres of land.

  Large landlords who want to get more land, facing these two families, as long as their brains are not kicked by a donkey, they will basically use the idea of ​​honestly sharing their land.

  As for why you want to hit his idea? Of course it was because he was so foolish and honest.

   If you fool the honest people casually, or scare them again, you will basically get the land, and you don't even need to pay the money. The risk is small and the return is big.

   But those who are very vigilant and have weapons in their homes are different. While they are not easy to fool, they also have the power to resist.

   It was so ruthless that the other party took advantage of the opportunity to shoot an arrow at the big landlord while he was basking in the sun or taking a walk outside, and the big landlord would die.

  This is a proper risk with little benefit.

  So as long as the big landlord with normal IQ will choose to play the idea of ​​honest people.

  The reason why the old man asked his children and grandchildren to hunt in the forest was to let them exercise their vigilance in the forest and be able to avoid some dangers in advance.

   When surviving in life, I can tell some people that I am vigilant, I am not easy to fool, I have the power to resist, and those who make up my mind must be prepared for the risks that will be brought after making my mind.

  Under normal circumstances, every village, town, and city has people who are not easy to bully and people who are easy to bully.

  Those who want to gain benefits by playing other people's ideas, in order to reduce the risk, will choose to play good bullying ideas.

  Just like those landowners, they are always thinking about other people's land and expanding their own land area in order to obtain more food income and make themselves and their children and grandchildren live better.

  As long as the old man makes his children and grandchildren difficult to mess with, vigilant and resistant, his children and grandchildren will be able to live well outside.

  The old man at this time is doing these things.

  In the forest.

  The seven teenagers who hunted together walked in the forest like a walk. They didn't listen to the teachings of their father and grandfather at all, and they had to be vigilant enough in the forest.

  The old man looked at the unwarranted grandchildren in front of him, and his old teeth at the door were almost gnawed away in anger.

  Dare to feel that his education at home was for nothing.

   Blame his son's daughters-in-law for always doting on these guys and spoiling them.

   This time, he had to let these seven teenagers suffer a lot. Even if two of them died, he had to teach the other five well.

   After all, relatives are relatives. While they can help each other, they are also very easy to be tricked by their relatives.

  The attacks from relatives are most of the time much sharper than the attacks from outsiders.

   Not to mention anything else, after a relative cheats other relatives, the trust between relatives will be reduced by half in an instant, and the degree of unity will also be greatly reduced.

  In human society, there are more people bullying the few people, and relatives are not united. When competing with other relative groups, they will suffer a lot.

  The losses they suffer are the resources to support new relatives, that is, newborn babies.

  While one kinship group has fewer newborns, another kinship group has more newborns, which in turn weakens the own kinship group.

  So he would rather die two grandchildren in the forest than educate the other five grandchildren.

   It's not that he is cruel, but that if he doesn't do this, the family he leads will lose tens of hundreds of relatives in the future.

  Whether ten or a hundred of his own children died, or two grandchildren, he had a steelyard in his heart.

"ah!"

  Hard screams resounded through the jungle. A teenager with pockmarked face carelessly stepped on a snake and was bitten viciously by the snake.

  The pain caused the boy to fall to the ground. He clutched his thigh, screaming in panic.

  The other six teenagers looked at their companion who was bitten by the snake, and they were instantly frightened, and they didn't dare to step forward to help.

  At this time, the old man pulled out his knife with a gloomy face, strode up to the grandson who was bitten by the snake, and skillfully chopped off the head of the snake that was trying to escape.

  Pick the snake's head aside with a knife.

  The old man scolded the other six grandchildren angrily, "Why are you still standing there?"

   "Your brothers have been bitten, why don't you hurry up and help me?"

  Seeing that the snake had been hacked to death by the grandfather, the six teenagers hurried over to help with their heads down.

   In a short while, the wound of the bitten crying boy was healed.

  The old man has already seen the snake. After all, he has spent most of his life in the mountains. He can see the snake from a long distance away.

  The reason why there is no sound is because this snake is a non-venomous snake, if it bites, it will bite, and only two small holes will be inserted.

   On the contrary, after this grandson of mine was bitten, he would definitely become very vigilant. No one wanted to be bitten again by a snake.

  The other six grandsons didn't dare to be so careless after seeing their brother's miserable situation.

  In his opinion, this non-venomous snake appeared at the right time, so that his grandchildren were not bitten by a poisonous snake, so that they could be vigilant and teach them a lesson.

   In the future, the probability of being bitten by a snake will be greatly reduced, and the ability to survive will also be greatly enhanced.

  The most important thing is that poisonous snakes are not only found in the wild. There are no fewer poisonous snakes in society than in the wild.

  After treating the croaking boy's wound.

  The team continues to move forward.

   This time, the seven teenagers did not dare to move forward carelessly.

They hold a knife in one hand and a stick in the other. When they advance to some bushes or places where the grass is relatively deep, they use the stick to beat the inside to prevent snakes or other things inside. .

  The experience taught by the elderly at home is useful after all.

  The seven teenagers, except for the injured one, moved forward one by one and walked a long way. Although they encountered two or three snakes, none of them were bitten.

  They have gradually matured.

   However, what worries the old man is whether these seven silly grandsons can apply the principles in the jungle to society?

  In order to prevent such a situation from happening, the old man decided to give these grandchildren a social experience, so that they can apply what they learned in the jungle to society.

  The boy with a pockmarked face looked at the rabbit in the distance, and waved his hands gently to the left and right, making all the brothers stop.

   Facing the gesture of the pockmarked boy, the other six boys stopped moving forward one after another, looking around vigilantly.

   Just now, they encountered another snake.

   And that snake was different from the snake on the ground before, that snake was on a tree, and one of them was only a meter away, so they met that snake, which scared them a lot.

   At this moment, they are very, very vigilant.

  The pockmarked boy stopped seeing his brothers, and imitated the way his father taught him to walk, and approached the opposite rabbit as quietly as possible.

  Seeing that the distance between the two sides is less than fifteen or sixteen meters.

  The pockmarked boy drew out one of his own arrows, put it on his longbow, and pointed the arrow directly at the opposite rabbit.

   Whoosh.

  The rabbit more than ten meters away was directly nailed to the ground.

  Blood flowed out from the wound.

  The boy with the pockmarked face looked around and found that there was nothing in the surroundings that could threaten him. He hurried to the rabbit, pulled out the arrow, and wiped away the blood on the arrow with soil and leaves.

  Then the **** soil was covered with new soil to prevent the smell of blood from spreading.

   After finishing all this, he came to his grandfather.

   "Grandpa, I hit a rabbit."

  The pockmarked boy whispered to the old man in front of him, his face was full of excitement.

   Obviously, he was very happy that he had hit the first prey.

  The old man encouraged: "Wells, you have lived up to my expectations of you. I hope you can hunt more prey in the future and support yourself, your future wife and children."

  The elderly know very well that people need encouragement, which can greatly motivate them and let them realize their greater potential.

  Hearing his grandfather's praise, the pockmarked boy was full of complacency, and couldn't hide the smile on his face.

   Putting the rabbit on the backpack on his back, the pockmarked boy continued to move forward.

  Their backpacks were specially made for them by their grandfather. With the help of three or even four layers of cloth, they can greatly reduce the spread of **** smell.

   Prevent certain predators from raiding them.

  Time slowly recedes, half a month later.

   Under the command of the old man, the seven teenagers, who had obtained ample food, happily walked out of the forest and returned to a pasture at the foot of the mountain.

  In the spacious wooden house, the old man with a dusty face did not tidy up his body first.

  After some hunting, he could clearly feel that his body was a little useless. He was no longer able to feel tired even after living in the mountains and forests for three months.

  Now he is in the mountains and forests, just walking with his grandchildren. Within half a month, he is already very, very tired.

  He knew that he might not live long.

  Some things that have been hidden for half a lifetime have to be given to their sons.

   However, among his eight sons, only three sons inherited his wisdom, and one of his sons was even more intelligent than him.

  This time, he couldn't make a bowl of water level, so he could only hand over the things he hid to the three sons who had inherited his wisdom.

  Some things are the foundation of their family, and those without wisdom are very easy to be deceived.

   And once they are cheated, others can use their family's foundation to obtain more resources and support more children.

  However, the resources on this land are limited, and the number of people who can support them is also limited. If others support more offspring, it means that his family has fewer offspring.

  For the prosperity of the family, he had to be partial and gave his most precious things to his three smartest sons.
