#429 - Chapter 429: Netting, Animal Husbandry, and Grains

The woman heard this and cautiously stepped forward.

Mo Nan thought she would start with making clothes, but to Mo Nan's surprise, she actually relit the fire under the bone pot.

She used a fire drill and succeeded on the first try. After the water boiled, she put the cicada pupae from the ground into it.

Next, the woman repeated all the steps Mo Nan had done before.

To Mo Nan's surprise, she even rebuilt a spinning wheel herself. However, because she didn't have much strength, the whole process seemed extremely strenuous.

Mo Nan didn't step forward to help, just watching quietly.

Time passed, and the woman, covered in sweat, finished making a piece of clothing.

It was exactly the same as the one Mo Nan was wearing.

Just as Mo Nan was about to step forward to check, golden light fell from the sky again, landing on the woman's body and clothes.

Although this time the merit was extremely thin, it was enough for an ordinary person to benefit endlessly.

Mo Nan didn't expect there to be merit a second time.

Mo Nan thought about it carefully. It seemed that the young man who first used a fire drill when roasting meat had also received merit.

It was just that the merit was too thin, and Mo Nan's attention was on guiding them to drill wood for fire, so he didn't notice it at the time. Now that he thought about it, he remembered.

"What is your name?"

Mo Nan looked at the woman and asked.

He still had to pass down the method of martial arts cultivation later. In two days, ordinary people would most likely not be able to understand it, and these people who had obtained the Heavenly Dao's merit were the key to Mo Nan's inheritance of martial arts.

"Answering Heavenly God, I, I don't have a name."

Mo Nan frowned and looked at the woman: "In that case, from now on, you shall be called 'Lei'."

The woman hurriedly knelt on the ground, with tears in her eyes, and said: "Thank you, Heavenly God, for bestowing a name!"

Then, Mo Nan looked at a young man in the crowd and said: "What is your name?"

The young man was originally envying the woman. Suddenly hearing Mo Nan ask him, he was stunned for a moment before quickly kneeling on the ground:

"Please bestow a name, Heavenly God!"

Mo Nan chuckled. This guy was quite clever, reacted quickly, and had a good head on his shoulders.

"In that case, you shall be called 'Sui'."

"Yes, Fire Sui, thank you Heavenly God for bestowing a name!"

"Alright, you can step back for now."

Mo Nan waved his hand, and the two returned to the crowd.

Afterwards, Mo Nan came to the hemp stalks again.

With one experiment, the next thing was simple. Mo Nan mainly demonstrated it to 'Lei'.

There were two surnames in this tribe, Fire and Yan. I don't know what 'Lei's' surname was, but it wasn't important.

Extracting hemp fiber and weaving hemp cloth, a hemp cloth garment was quickly made. However, this time no merit fell.

Looking at the hemp clothes in his hand, Mo Nan threw them to the clan leader and let him handle it himself.

Then, Mo Nan brought the people to a big tree and had them observe the spider's web. Looking at the insects stuck on it, Mo Nan smiled and said:

"We humans learn from the natural world. What thoughts do you have when you look at the insect web?"

After a moment of silence, a young man suddenly spoke:

"Heavenly God, can we use insect webs to hunt?"

Mo Nan looked at the young man with some appreciation. This kid really had a good head on his shoulders.

Sui, who was a step slower, reluctantly took a step back.

Mo Nan looked at the young man who spoke and smiled: "What is your name?"

This was also a clever guy, and immediately knelt down:

"Please bestow a name, Heavenly God!"

"Then, you shall be called 'Yu'."

"Thank you, Heavenly God, for bestowing a name!"

"Go and get some hemp stalks."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Yu immediately ran over and brought a pile of hemp stalks.

Mo Nan once again peeled off the hemp fibers, and then twisted strands of hemp fibers together to make hemp ropes. This was very simple, and anyone could learn it with a glance.

"Yu, this thing is called 'Rope'. Can you use this thing to weave such an insect web?"

Yu hesitated for a moment and bowed: "Answering Heavenly God, I can do it!"

"Well, then you can weave a web here, weave it bigger."

"Yes!"

So, 'Yu' was left alone there, and Mo Nan took another large group of people away.

Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation. Now that three things had been resolved, then next was "transportation."

But before that, Mo Nan had to teach them the method of animal husbandry.

Mo Nan called 'Sui' and 'Lei' to his side, and then, speaking to everyone, explained the method of domesticating wild beasts.

Then, Mo Nan's figure disappeared. After a moment, Mo Nan appeared in front of everyone riding a wild beast that resembled a horse with a single horn on its head.

Mo Nan rode the "horse" back and forth on the open space in the valley, and then Mo Nan had the clan leader and others try it out.

Everyone was ecstatic again. With such a means of transportation, hunting would definitely be much more efficient and safer in the future.

After demonstrating it to them once, Mo Nan went to the primeval forest to find common poultry similar to "chickens", "ducks", "pigs", "cows", and "sheep".

"Some wild beasts can be domesticated, and some wild beasts cannot be domesticated. You need to try it yourself."

"Yes, Heavenly God." Everyone responded in unison.

Nodding, Mo Nan's figure disappeared again.

This time Mo Nan left for a while, and it was a good half an hour before he returned.

When Mo Nan came back, he was holding several "grasses" in his hand.

"Heavenly God, what is this?" Sui asked curiously.

Mo Nan did not answer his words, but came to an open space and began to loosen the soil for planting.

What Mo Nan brought was not some "grass", but "five grains". Of course, Mo Nan only found three kinds.

I don't know if there are no others on this planet, or if I just didn't find them, but it doesn't matter. I can draw them and let them find them themselves.

As for those medicinal herbs, Mo Nan also planned to directly exchange for a complete herbal medicine book and let them find them themselves. He just didn't know if there would be merit rewards for exchanging them. If there were none, then he would hand-draw one anyway, which wouldn't take much time.

"You all watch carefully. These things will be your main food in the future."
