bearded old man by his story that stopped licking his greasy fingers, and then use pieces of broken finger in his sub-system does not cover the bearskin wipe a few times around the waist. He m race around the three young men squatting deer flies, yellow head, and fear of Heiwa, is his grandson. Their appearance is almost exactly the same, each wrapped in a cover only part of the body of the animal skins. tall thin all small, pointed butt, bandy legs, concave chest, but very thick arms, hands also high. their chest, shoulders, and arms out the side, have a lot of long hair. Their long hair, all disheveled, without pruning, a lock of a lock, and often floating in front of those small, and round black eyes glistened like a bird's eye. Their heads are narrow place near the eye, near the place wide cheekbones, chin, thick, protruding.
This is a multi-star sunny night, following their trees, lush green mountains, layer upon layer, continue to extend the distance. and then looking ahead, only to see the distant sky is erupting volcano to a map turn red. behind them, there is a the big dark cave, not emitting waves of cold bone puncture. They have a bunch of raging fire in front. fire on one side, lay a leftover dead bear. in a place not far from the fire, and a few big dog like a wolf. are placed around each of their bows and a big stick. In addition there are a few crude spear, on the rocks next to the hole.

stupid. We do not know how to have power. every family is independent, take care of themselves. We, a total of thirty people, but never to each other mutual assistance and cooperation. We always mutual suspicion, between whom no one We each take in their own tree, a thatched cottage, and outside of the platform in the room put a pile of stones, so occasionally when someone came to visit us, with their heads smashed the stones. Meanwhile, we There are spears and arrows. We never go to another family tree that, once, my brother went to the old Buwu family tree, immediately gave smashed his head, the life given away.
; old Buwu effort is very large, said he was able to put an adult's head twisted down alive. But I have never heard such a thing he did because no one willing to let him try. I do not want to follow his father contest. One day, Buwu go to the beach before my father's time, taking away my mother, her run faster, because the day before she was taken to the mountains when the berries, to bear scratched his leg. Therefore, the cloth Ukraine to catch her, took her to his tree. My father has never recovered her, he feared. Buwu so old it made him grimace.
. At that time, there is a strength of the people, called Strong Arm. He is a skilled fisherman. But once he climbed the cliff to look for gulls eggs fall off. Since then, he has no energy left. He coughed so badly, two shoulder purse out gradually. So, my father took his wife. Whenever he came to our family tree that, cough up, my father laughed at him, hit him with stones. At that time, we are so we do not know, only if we work together will become stronger. br> ; it is because your parents taught me to be all sensible. hand Youxiang waist where exposed flesh wipe a few times, continued: ; You must be a fool, it knows nothing. . then we become more stupid. However, the last, in the end we feel more sensible, and this is the inevitable process, then those of us who r l do not know how to fish should work together to become our personal power until all the power. but living in the watershed that side of the large ri r l who eat meat are united together to hunt, catch fish together, to fight together. One day, they went to come to our valley. We ran to their holes and trees. At the time, to a total of only ten people who eat meat l r, but their hands together, and we each have their own interests in a. difficult to count a long time.
to ten men that eye looked at the tree to attack Buwu. He played very bravely, but were outnumbered. we are all nothing. It turned out that people who eat meat several l r to climb the tree, Buwu had the room from the grass out, hit them with stones, only to right into it, to people who eat meat the rest of the l r shot was just full of arrows. So Buwu would be finished.
hole in one eye and his own family. They had a fire in his mouth, smoked them out, like we smoked out the bear in the case. Then they climbed up the tree to catch the Six-fingered , kill him and his eldest son. At this time, we, the people left to escape quickly. They caught several of our women, killing two could run the old man and several children. that woman Leave them to the Otani gone.
, feel the need to help each other exigencies. This is our first meeting of the m first real meeting. At this meeting, we formed our first tribe. because we have learned. that the ten people who eat meat l r, the strength of each person is worth ten, because they are at war, when ten people are united. They force everyone in together. Although we have a home thirty, sixty, men, But our strength is only worth a person's strength, because when we are at war, both for their own interests. the language. much later, called a bug talent to create some characters, others are starting to create some characters. However, we in the end was that good, people who eat meat until l then climb over the watershed to r grab our women, we must bring our forces combined, united like a man. Thus, we have a tribe.
a tube at night, beware of people who eat meat l r over. The two men are all off the eyes and ears. At the same time, regardless of days of night, there are ten men with sticks, spears and bows and arrows wary, ready to fight. ago , when a man went out fishing, catch or dig clams, seagull eggs, he always carried a weapon, on the one hand hunted for someone else to harm the one hand, his preparedness. Today, the situation is completely changed. out of people can not bring weapons, all the time for hunting fishing. Similarly, whenever a woman came to the mountains to dig fat roots and berries, when adopted, there are always ten men with five followed to protect them. and , no matter what time, whether days of night, the tribe's eyes are always keeping watch on the watershed.
someone else's wife, we played a lot back, and sometimes the person's head to smash, and sometimes that person's body to the spear pierced. On one occasion, a guard who was on duty the watershed, and another person to take the opportunity taken away His wife, after he was down, and immediately went to fight. the other one who guard the watershed, because his wife was afraid of being robbed, so also down from the mountain. Meanwhile, the ten people who is always armed with a gun between out of trouble. They fought five pairs of the five defeated the the to escape to the seaside, to win the the chase in the end.
tribes of the guard. we do not have the power of the sixty people. We just do not force the point. So we convened a meeting to develop the first batch of law. At that time, I was a child, but I remember. we said, the tribe has the power to make, we must not fight each other, we set out a law, if the person who killed all the people down who want to kill. At the same time, we ordered a law wife who grab other people who have all been killed off. We said, what an effort the great men, With great strength as long as he dared to hurt the tribe of the brethren, we will kill him that he no longer relied on strength to hurt. because if we relied on strength to let him hurt, and his brothers would be frightened, and the whole tribe to collapse, we will become weak, as previously l r those who eat meat to attack us, kill Buwu the same time.
only know their own great strength, he was very proud, so he ran out, take wife three clams, three clams want to fight him, referring to a stick and hit him phalanx brains DC. But forget that phalanx We all have to unite to maintain law among us, so we killed him he was under a tree, hung his corpse on public display in the tree, let everyone know that the law than anyone, have power. because We are the law, it represents us all, so no one more powerful than the law.
Must be hard to establish a tribal ah. many things, and they are very fragmented, each piece had to call you to discuss. This is really trouble them thoroughly. We are both in the morning, noon, evening, or even middle of the night, should be meeting. because there is always a lot of little things to be solved, for example, sometimes the two new guards assigned to the mountains to replace the old guard, and sometimes have to decide, how much food should be given to those who always carry weapons, no hunting people; so many meetings, we just confused the time to even go out and hunt no.
session. So we're not hereby nominated as non-leaders. He is also a strength of the people, and very cunning, whenever he was angry, he is always non-l're not the same is hereby r to like cats cried. < br> played a very solid wall. Since then, all of the families have to move out from the trees and the hole in the wall erected behind the thatched cottage home in them. These large a house, than to live in trees and holes are much better. Thus, as we work together to build a tribe, each individual's life is much better than before. As a result of the stone wall, was serving as a guard and the guard, we will have more time to hunt, catch fish, dig mining roots and berries, we not only eat more, and better than ever. who will not go hungry. At that time, a man broke his leg since childhood, always insisted on a walking stick to walk , everybody calls him a three-legged, he procured a number of wild grains, planted in the valley near his home ground, to try to grow some fat in addition to the root of the plant, and the valley he found something else.
those who live in high mountains in the back and live the life of the people, like beasts, they all moved out. After not long, the valley to the sea full of people, simply count the number of people. However, in this Before that we had with the use of public land owned by us, was put on the sub-accounts. three-legged species of millet at the beginning, the first accounted for one. but most people do not mind the land. We believe that marked by a low wall of stone boundary, is a folly, our food is very rich, what else is required? I still remember my father with me for the three-legged stone wall, he gave us some corn, when for compensation.
refused to let go of people, in exchange for millet, fat roots, raccoon and fish, and these fish is that people use millet farming in exchange with the fishermen. Therefore, when we come to understand now, all the land had to share bare.
also think he is a more remarkable than his father Sheikh. But first, he did a good chief is working very hard, so that the meeting can do things to become less and less. Later, the sea ri out a new character, he is twisted. We did not have his heart, only to surprise him with the ghosts of the dead to talk to. Later we renamed his big fat man, because he ate too much, what nothing, grow round and big. One day, big fat tells us that he knew the secrets of the dead, he is God's spokesman. He told the dog became very close friends teeth, so the dog teeth on the command we give great fat made a thatched cottage. big fat around the house in his set all sorts of taboos, played in the house for God.
until then, everyone inside the meeting complained about it, to elect a new chief. this time, the big fat man speaking on behalf of God, and said, no time. Meanwhile, the three legs of land with other people who also support the dogs teeth. At that time, the meeting in the most powerful people are sea lions, who secretly gave him the landlord to some of the land, with many sheets raccoon, and many baskets of millet. Therefore, the sea lions said, if indeed a big fat word of God, we must obey. Soon after, sea lions became the spokesman for the dog teeth, most of the words by the sea lions in terms of.
. he was in the estuary, sandbar, the waves where the power weakened, made a great fishing machine. this kind of thing, not only we have never seen, never dreamed that, in order to make this fishing machine, he with his wife and his son worked for several weeks, we are all laughing at them. However, until he had made his first catch of fish a day than our entire tribe caught in a week is even more Therefore, we are very happy. At that time, the river is only one other place appropriate for making such a fishing machine, but until my father told me a dozen hands-on with the other to create a great time fishing machine those who guard our dogs from the teeth made out of a large grass house, they used spears to stab us and told us to go away, because the belly bulge has been the spokesman for the dog teeth m sea lions allowed to build there in person a fishing machine.
So, the dog teeth, belly bulge, and three legs, and all land and its people, said this very well. big fat man also said that it was God's will. From then on, all the people are afraid to stand up at the meeting, As a result, the meeting is finished.
At that time, there is a person called the pig mouth, started to raise from the goats. He heard the people who r l meat goats are raised, and soon, he will have a lot of group of goats. others who have neither land nor people fishing machine, in order to avoid starvation, are willing to work as a pig mouth, goat care for him, protect them from the same tiger against dogs, and rushed them mountains to graze. Therefore, give them mouth pig meat to eat, so they have to wear sheep's clothing, and sometimes they use the exchange for some fish, lamb, millet roots with the fertilizer.
. First of all think of this idea is the sea lions, he could stay with the dog teeth with the big fat talk a bit. You see, in the sea of the valley, no matter what, they have to share one of these three. Each three baskets of millet They must have a basket of return, each must have a three fish belong to them, each must also have a three sheep belong to them. They used to feed the guards as part of the same people who watch the rest of the property of their own. Sometimes, catching to a large number of fish, because they are assigned too much, just do not know how to do. So a lot of sea lions is called a woman to do with the money m the first clamshell made of small round, and then through a hole in the middle, but also to do very smooth and very beautiful. all these things to wear with a rope, which is called a bunch of stuff a bunch of money.
to do a bunch of money, only get two fish. and these fish are dog teeth, big fat sea lions from the same things in their assigned out, and this is they eat. Therefore, all the money is them. They also told three legs and other landlords, and they will pay one-third of the root when the millet and the manure, to get their money, and tell them to pay one third of the belly bulge, when the fish, but also to get their money, and the mouth of the pig that, after he paid when the goat cheese with, but also get their money. a dispossessed people, something for the people who work there, when the payoff is money. with this kind of money He can buy millet, fish, meat and cheese. three legs and all industries, are paid to the dog in the teeth, sea lions and a large fat that when they are using the money instead. they pay the same watch guard is money. those guards with the watchman with the money to buy something to eat. because the money was easy, dog teeth to come when more people designated guardian. At the same time, because making money is easy, there is such a person to own use Shell made of money. But those guards kill them with spears, arrows shot them to their whole body is because they want to destroy the tribe. undermine the tribe is a bad thing, if the tribe is finished, those who eat meat l r, will be over watershed, the people killed.
the lot, by him on behalf of the talk. They both have a lot of people to serve them. Similarly, the belly bulge, three legs and mouth, there are many servants pig, lying on their thatched cottage surrounded by the sun, messengers and for them communication command. Thus, more and more people do not work, and remaining so for those who work more hard than before. It seems like people are unwilling to work, are trying to find ways to let others work for them . askew eyes is a way to find this man. He first lead with millet wine. Since then, he does not work, because he has teeth like a dog, big fat privately with other lords to discuss well, They all agreed that only he can be brewed shochu. but he does not work crooked eyes, all the others to shochu brewing, which he paid them wages. He shochu make money, when all the people buy wine to him . He then took out a string of money to give the dog a lot of teeth, sea lions and all people like them.
. they said, the dog teeth different from other people, except for the grass in the big fat man outside the house of God, on a number of his greatest, and the dog teeth himself said, he will also know who he was speaking in whisper whisper discuss the number of wives. In addition, dog tooth called a man-made ship, hired many of the original in the work of the people, who do nothing, always lying in the sun, the only boat out to the dog teeth when rowing for him. Meanwhile, he ordered his chief bodyguard tiger face to do so, Tiger became the face of his effective help, as long as he does not like who will be for him to face the tiger who killed. In addition, the Tigers face to find himself a great help to back his orders for him to kill.
to less and less things. , should be more than eat up? When all the fish hole symmetry breaking down even more. But I do not I? we are all fools. We got the food, the more we eat something less. , must give the people that eat a lot of quit a job, is not it? those who hide the sun, the people doing nothing grow too fat, round, but also have many children to cry soon as soon hungry, and then cried himself to sleep. Flying deer starving by the story of the stimulus, tearing off a piece of bear meat, wearing a stick, roasted on a spit in the fire. So he relish meat side, one side went on listening to a long beard .
These smart people, we have become beasts, we still live in the trees over the past days.
too little body, with hands and feet are very ugly face, whether to work or act, not as good as others. but he likes to eat the most fat in the bone marrow, the most fresh fish, the freshest and the best hot milk first fruits of grain, happy sitting in front of a fire and most comfortable place. So he became a king's singers, and found that they can not do something the way they grow too big and fat. Later, more and more people are not satisfied, Some people threw stones at the king's thatched cottage, bugs to sing the song, said to do a r l fish how happy people. In the song, he said, l fish in the God who r voters, is the best person God created. He sang r l when people eat meat that they are all pigs with the Crow, who also said that if l r fish to fight, die for God - In other words, to kill people who eat meat l r, then how much of the good. he burned the lyrics to our blood boiling like fire, we are noisy places, led to the king to attack our people who eat meat l r. Thus, we forget we are hungry, angry and why, but happily led the Tigers face under the watershed over and killed a lot of people who eat meat l r, felt very satisfied.
We kind of had their own millet. At the time, often many people, in the three legs can not find with other people who work there. They had to go hungry, so their wives and children, and their mother, also had to go hungry. Tiger face so that if they want, they can be a guardian, a lot of people really became a defender, then on, they no longer work, and Zhigu work with spears to kill those children, because they complained to feed Many people who eat the bread of idleness.
the reasons for things. He said those of us with strong, we should be happy, or we will die because of their own incompetence, or die in the hands of l r eat meat. Therefore, we should let these strong were to hold that they can get their hands on everything. So, big fat pig mouth, tiger face and those other people say this is the truth.
So I have to do a strong. r so he went to did you get some of his millet, hands-brewed liquor, sold a lot of strings of money. until the crooked eye complaints up, said teeth, he is also a strong, if the distortion eyes dared wordy, he would have his head beat flowering. was very afraid crooked eyes, he then with three legs, pig mouth talk a bit. The three men walked a dog teeth there, said another. So the dog commanded the sea lion teeth, sea lions to send a messenger to the tiger who face, tiger face, dispatched guards, burned the house and his teeth shochu brewing, and kill him and his family. big fat man said it was a good , bugs and made up a song to say how good to obey the law, the Valley of the sea is wonderful to those in the Valley who love the sea, should go out and kill those bad people who eat meat r l . so his songs, brought back our anger, we forget the hate.
, he always put a lot of fish back into the sea, the remaining fish with a big price to sell. three legs are often so large tracts of field shortage was to raise grain prices. Meanwhile, as the women made use of shell too much money, take a lot of money to buy something, the dog would not let them make money teeth. these women unemployed after the replacement of men went to work. I was catching fish when the machine work, the wages of every five days a bunch of money. Then my sister for me to work and earn her ten days to do a bunch of money. because of the low wages of women, we have enough to eat, and the tiger face then persuaded to become soldiers. However, why do I can not the army, because my leg was lame, tiger face, not to me. At that time, many people keep telling me. We are all disabled, with only a little work to find someone else to, or dry in a woman live, when they care for the baby. , why do not revolt, killing three legs, pig mouth, big fat and that group of people, so that we can eat it? ! Even if someone wanted to pass, I said it, tiger face and that guards would catch him, tied him low tide when the reef, let the tide drown him.
It just bugs compiled the songs seem very good, is not the case, we are not easy to immediately understand it. At this time, the dog began to put money back teeth to go. He put the money into a large heap, on the one grass room, guarded night and day camp guards there. He piled the money in the house the more money the more expensive, so a lot of people want to live and to do more than ever to make a bunch of money. At the same time, and everyone always talking of people who eat meat r l keep up fight, dog tooth tiger face with a lot of Tuen set millet, dried fish, smoked meat and cheese, put a lot of room. However, although the piles of food, the people are hungry . However, what is the relationship? Whenever people complained when the bug will sing a new song, a big fat man said we should kill people who eat meat l r, which is God's command, then tiger face led us to cross the watershed to kill or be killed. I'm not qualified to be a soldier, lying in the sun, they grow too big and fat people. But to the war, when the tiger is willing to take me to the face. Then, when we finished the stocks, we retreat back, and then work, then piled more food. We really are crazy, . He added that the tribe had set up, we had deprived those who relied on big effort to undermine the power of the people all down, smash brothers, who eliminated the head, stole his brother's wife's people. these things are done right. But now, he said, the tribe not become strong, but weaker, because some people got another power, is undermining the entire tribe, which is like the three legs of the power of all the land, small stomach all the power of machines to catch fish and pig meat all the power of the mouth. It is broken nose, said something should be done now is to deprive these people the power of evil, so that they all shop and go to job, and regulations, do not work children that people who have nothing to eat.
But the broken nose and said, no, he does not want to turn back, he wants to move forward; they just unite and become strong; Therefore, if l fish l who r willing to work with people who eat meat r unity, it is not there is war, people who do not watch, do not need guards, and all people will have jobs, food will become very rich, a person working two hours a day as long as enough.
singing some songs, he said the nose was a lazy break, while he also sang a song r. l bee that is a very strange song, people who hear it will become as mad as drinking alcohol. It is about a group of bees and wasps like a bandit, only the Hornets came to live in together with them and stole all their honey. only Hornets lazy at the same time, it also advised the bees do not have to work. It advised them to talk to bear to make friends, that bears not only will not steal honey, and very polite. bug cleverly compiled the lyrics, so we heard ...
