Black Dragon Kingdom

"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 hard 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 trace of complaint in his tone.

Surrounding 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 risky business.

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, many poisonous snakes and poisonous 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 wrinkled face was holding firewood to add fire to the fire. Listening to his grandson's complaints, he silently added some more firewood to make the fire burn brighter.

Drive away dangers in the dark with fire.

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

"You are my grandsons, and 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 are currently hunting in other places in the mountains under the leadership of his eight sons.

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

Because those who can understand are smart people. 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 heirloom can't be explained too clearly.

After arranging several grandsons to take turns to guard the midnight, the old man held his knife, 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 had already fallen asleep leaning against the wall, and sighed deeply again.

Sighing 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'll 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 the dangerous social environment.

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

And 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.

Let me give you an example.

In the bustling street, 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 lifted the backpack full of money in his hands, and walked outside defenselessly, without vigilance at all, and he didn't have a weapon hanging on his waist.

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

Normal robbers would rob the unwary and unarmed man.

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 other party 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 landowner felt that his own land was too little, and wanted to snatch other people’s land, trick them, or buy them 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.

And 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.

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

As for why you want to play 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 profit is big.

It is different for those who are very vigilant and have weapons in their homes. 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.

Therefore, as long as the big landlords 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 doing 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.

People who want to gain benefits by playing other people's ideas will choose to bully others in order to reduce risks.

Just like those landlords, 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 difficult to mess with, vigilant, and resistant, his children will be able to live well outside.

The old man at this time is doing these things.

in the forest.

The seven teenagers who were hunting together walked in the forest as if they were taking a walk. They didn't listen to their father and grandfather's teaching at all, and they had to be vigilant enough in the forest.

The old man looked at the grandchildren in front of him who were not vigilant at all, and his old teeth at the door were almost gnawed away in anger.

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

It's all the fault of his son's daughters-in-law who always spoil these guys and spoil 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 after all, and while they can help each other, they are also very easy to be tricked by their relatives.

And the attacks of relatives, most of the time, are much sharper than the attacks brought by 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.

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

And those losses 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.

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!"

Ear-piercing screams resounded through the jungle, and a teenager with pockmarked face carelessly stepped on a snake and was bitten viciously by the snake.

The pain caused the young man 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 were instantly stunned. 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, "What are you still doing?"

"Your brothers have been bitten, why don't you hurry up and come over to 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 had already seen the snake. After all, he had spent most of his life in the mountains. He could see the snake from a long distance away.

The reason why he didn't make a sound was because this snake was a non-venomous snake, if it bit it, it would bite, and only two small holes would be inserted.

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

And 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.

The probability of being bitten by a snake in the future 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 wound of the croaking boy.

The team moves on.

This time, the seven teenagers didn't dare to move forward without any vigilance.

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 imparted by the elderly at home is useful after all.

Except for the injured boy, the seven teenagers 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 makes the old man feel a little worried 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.

For a while, they were very, very vigilant.

Seeing his brothers stop, the pockmarked boy 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 pockmarked boy looked around and found that there was no danger around him that could threaten him, so he hurried to the rabbit, pulled out the arrow, and wiped off the blood on the arrow with soil and leaves.

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

After doing 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 for his 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 allow them to realize their greater potential.

Hearing his grandfather's praise, the pockmarked young man 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 bloody smell.

Prevent certain predators from raiding them.

Time slowly retreated, half a month later.

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

Inside 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 bit useless. He could no longer feel tired even after living in the mountains and forests for three months like before.

The current him, in the mountains and forests, just followed his grandsons. Within half a month, he was 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 inherited his wisdom, and one of his sons was even more intelligent than him.

This time, he couldn't level the bowl of water, 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 can easily be deceived by others.

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

However, the resources on this land are limited, and the population that 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.
