The tribe has been living here for hundreds of years since the ancestors arrived here, fighting for a piece of land, and living here for hundreds of years, from generation to generation, the construction of houses, the cultivation of fields, every place is memorized by heart, and every place has a history. and memory.
When they heard that they were going to pack up and leave, the tribesmen were a little surprised, but they couldn't react at once. They just mechanically packed up according to the leader's order, and when they recovered, the discussion started.
When they learned that the people from the six nobles were going to deal with their tribe, they were furious. Some warriors clamored to have a fight with them. When Duokang heard it, he beat him up.
"You think we are afraid? Bullshit! We Yanjiao people are afraid of those slave owners who think they are so noble? The reason why we left is because we are going back!" Duo Kang said loudly.
The people who were picking up things moved in unison.
go back
Where to go back
What does the boss mean
The soldier who was beaten by Duo Kang on the ground forgot to get up and asked: "Boss, aren't we here? Where are we going?"
"Where the ancestors came from, we will go back." Duo Kang left after leaving these words, and he had to go to other places down the mountain to inspect the work. Because of the matter of leaving, the entire tribe was a little anxious. In order to prevent the gang of energetic warriors who failed to hunt, he had to suppress it.
The soldier with a bruised nose and a swollen face lying on the ground looked at the figure of Dokang leaving, digging with his hands on the ground that had been dried a lot, thinking about what Dokang said just now.
Where did our ancestors come from, where do we go
Where did the ancestors come from... Shao Xuan! I heard that Shao Xuan also came from there. So, they are going to the birthplace of the legendary Yanjiao tribe? !
Xiang Chen and other people who had just returned to the tribe were originally discouraged because of the fact that the sea was not frozen, and then heard the bad rumors about Yanjiao outside. There will be such a turning point.
The Yanjiao man was ill, and Xiang Chen learned about it from his parents very early, but they didn't talk about it on weekdays. If other people outside said that the Yanjiao people were sick, he would definitely scold them back: You are sick, and all of you are sick.
However, the truth of the matter is indeed the case. After scolding, Xiang Chen will also think about it, when will this disease be cured
But now the opportunity has come, although I don't know what Wu thinks, but since Wu and the leader have decided to leave, he will do the same.
"What about the duck shed?" The person taking care of the duck was reluctant and ran over to ask Shao Xuan.
"Just stay there, the duck sheds are left to them. In the future, if they want to leave, they will leave, and if they want to stay here, let them stay here." Killed roasted meat? It's better to go hunting for a few beasts to be satisfied. Those duck eggs are paid for the protection of these ducks to the tribe.
"I found a few eggs today, what should I do?" the man asked again.
"It's all cooked and brought."
"Where's the green duck?" the man asked expectantly.
Shao Xuan looked at the fat ducks who were swimming in the river with a group of green-haired dumplings. Shao Xuan couldn't wait for these green second-generation eggs. However, for the sake of Duck Dan helping the Yanjiao people, Shao Xuan didn't kill him.
"Don't worry about it."
At that time, the copper tripod had been cast into other copper products. There were pots and pots, and they were distributed to the people who deserved credit in the tribe. Everyone was reluctant to throw them away and planned to take them with them. The salt stones were all boiled and refined successfully. It is distributed to the tribes, and the rest are kept by the shamans.
Millet, medicinal herbs, etc. were also distributed within a day, and the people of the tribe were too busy to think about other things, let alone sad.
Shao Xuan once experienced a big migration. This is the second big migration, but the situation is slightly different. There are many people who are hostile to them behind this migration. Maybe it wasn't as smooth as it used to be.
Shao Xuan discussed the migration route with Zhengluo, but the one that Xiang Chen walked through is no longer usable. Someone must have seen Yanjiao people on that road. Maybe someone had been ambushed and waited for Yanjiao to deliver them to the door. Moreover, that route will pass through several cities and towns. In the past, it was possible to walk and it was convenient to supply supplies in the middle. Now, it is no longer possible. Because most of them avoid places with many people, there may be a lot of danger in the mountains and forests, but the road is the closest, and there are so many people, if you encounter difficult beasts, everyone can work together to block them.
"Just this one." Zheng Luo's finger tapped on the map drawn by Shao Xuan himself, "Send someone to inquire about the situation in the mountains over there, and clear the way."
That night, when most people in the tribe were sleepless, Shao Xuan had a dream. He dreamed of the first witch of the tribe. It is a special feeling that he can determine the identity of this person. According to legend, the first witch of the Yanjiao tribe is the strongest, and he is also the original body of the six bone ornaments.
In Shao Xuan's dream, he saw the witch, walking on a long and narrow passage, walking into the distance step by step.
That channel is very familiar.
It was dark around, and there was the sound of water running.
There are also some vaguely huge figures moving slowly beside them, like giant beasts in the sea.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Shao Xuan's consciousness was still in a trance, but the situation in the dream was still profound, and every detail was very clear, except for the vague figure.
It was already dawn outside the window, and there were streaks of light through the cracks of the wooden window panels.
When he got up, Shao Xuan quickly rinsed his mouth with cold water, wiped his face at will, and went to look for a witch without having breakfast.
In the morning, Wu was not in the house, but stood by the fire, staring at the fire in a daze.
This past night, Wu didn't fall asleep at all. She just stood by the fire all night. Although her face was calm, her eyes were clearly blue and black. When she looked closely under her drooping eyelids, her eyes were still bloodshot.
Maybe this witch is not as calm as it seems. After all, the tribal migration is a major event, and she and the leader are also under great pressure to make this decision.
Seeing Shao Xuan, Wu asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
"There is something I don't understand." Shao Xuan said.
Shao Xuan explained what he had dreamed about last night. He didn't know whether it was a reminder from the ancestors, or whether he dreamed of it after thinking too much.
After listening to Shao Xuan's remarks, Wu Xie's eyes flashed lightly, narrowed slightly, and the folds on his face were much deeper.
"That's the way! It's the way our ancestors pointed out to us! Maybe, after getting there, it will just become what you have encountered. In this way, the passage is formed!" Wu affirmed. She believed that the ancestors would not lie to them.
"only… "
"Don't worry, that must be a hint from the ancestors!"
"but… "
Before Shao Xuan finished speaking, Wu raised his hand to stop Shao Xuan's words, "Believe in the ancestors!"
"I believe." Shao Xuan said helplessly.
"That's it. All we need to do is go there with the tribesmen."
After getting Shao Xuan's words, Wu's spirit was much better. She decided to go to Zheng Luo to discuss it. Zheng Luo probably did not sleep all night because of the pressure. She heard Zheng Luo instructing people early in the morning.
Seeing the witch hurriedly left, Shao Xuan scratched his head. He didn't think that he would encounter the situation he had encountered when he got there, because in the dream, he had never encountered the sound of water and those huge figures before. .
Two days later, the tribe assembled.
The team that made the first inquiries has already returned, and you can walk in the mountains and forests, but there is stagnant water in some places, so you should pay more attention.
On the mountain, the fire pit is still there, but without the Yanjiao people, the function of the fire pit will be lost.
The house was there, no one lived there, it looked empty and lonely.
In the fields, some small buds of weeds have emerged, and the crops have not been planted. People who are planning to do a great job can only temporarily give up this opportunity and save the seeds.
In the surrounding artificial river, dug around the mountains, ducks of different colors and sizes swim in it. The weather is heating up quickly, the water is already warm, and these ducks are getting lively after a brutal winter.
"These are really going to be left to Tai He's people?" Duo Kang was reluctant. But after they left, it became a land without owners, but they didn't want to give it to others, so they could only give it to the Taihe tribe.
"It's cheaper for them!"
"I hope they don't eat all those ducks," said a person who used to live near the duck shed.
"It doesn't matter anything else, those green ducks are really reluctant." The person taking care of the duck shed kept looking back.
The long queue left, and the fat duck in the river quietly looked at the group of people with doubts, but had no intention of following, and just watched the last person in the queue walk across the bridge before turning around and taking the others. The little duck continued to swim.
When the team passed near the Taihe tribe, Shao Xuan saw a team of people who had been waiting there for a long time. Most of them are from the hunting party, everyone is familiar with them, and there are also Quanbai and others who stayed in the Yanjiao tribe for a long time when they planted Thousand Grains of Gold. They're here to say goodbye.
The last time we met, whether it was from the Yanjiao people or the people from Taihe, they were quite reluctant to give up.
"These, you take with you." The leader of Tai He took out two large cloth bags, which were filled with herbs they had made in the past two days, "Take care!"
"Thank you, take care!" Zheng Luo slapped the shoulder of the leader of Taihe.
"By the way, don't eat those green ducks over there, keep them well, there will be rewards, Shao Xuan should have told you?" Zheng Luo asked.
"Know, you can rest assured." The leader of Taihe said.
Why does this sound so awkward
Don't worry anymore, I gave a short time for the soldiers on both sides to say goodbye.
There were also two old people kneeling and crying. There were people from Yanjiao who married in Taihe, and there were people from Taihe who married in Yanjiao. There has been no intermarriage in recent years, but there are still people in the past. living.
They wanted to leave with Yanjiao, but they were already very old, and following the team would only be a drag.
Wu raised his hand and gently patted them on the head, "Leave it!"
The team set off again, gradually drifting away, leaving the place where they had lived for hundreds of years.
Zheng Luo looked back at the direction of the tribe's low mountain. The surrounding tall woods had blocked all sight. Looking back, his pace was firm and he walked at the front of the team.
The ancestors said that one day, the Yanjiao people who left will return to their homeland, and on this day, they were met by their generation.
