He smiled, letting the girl open her mouth wide, revealing her indescribable yellow teeth, and then stepped forward.
It wasn't until the two of them were far apart that they heard the footsteps coming up behind them.
"God, Yuki-onna shouldn't have offended you. Yuki-onna is willing to endure punishment, and anything is fine..."
【Really anything... is OK?】
"..." Zhou Li'an was speechless and cursed in his heart: "Shut up!"
Then, he said slowly: "I won't punish you, you did nothing wrong... tell me what happened in the past three days."
After the girl heard this, she really breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, joy appeared on her face, and even her tone of voice became much lighter.
In her words, a lot happened in the past three days.
They were all major events that she had never experienced before.
She freed the slaves.
Named Chishui, the two tribes of Shanhua have died. She listened to the report from the elders of the Tushi tribe and learned that more young men were sent to the chief tribe, but in addition to the old and weak, they also left behind many healthy women. .
The elders of Tushi said that this would be a favorable condition for the growth of the tribe.
The tribe held another large-scale funeral, and the girl's tribesmen who were brutally killed rested in peace.
But she was in a panic: "God, can you see that they have arrived at the gate of the afterlife? Because the funeral was hosted by the snow girl, and the snow girl did not know how to perform sacrifices and prayers at all. She could only keep calling your name..."
"I heard it and I saw it." Zhou Li'an nodded slightly.
"Really? Then, have you heard what the snow girl has been saying to you silently these days?"
Zhou Li'an stopped and said seriously: "Not all words will be heard by God."
"Oh." The girl nodded cautiously, silently remembering this sentence.
"Go on, what else happened."
"Xue Nu's father has become the new clan leader of the Tushi Tribe, because the tribe's elders learned that Climbing Mountain is Xue Nu's father, and he had received your grace and was resurrected from the dead."
Zhou Li'an remembered that man, who was kneeling behind the girl just now.
Judging from his complexion, his condition has improved. For people who have never used antibiotics, there is no drug resistance, and the effect is surprisingly good.
He nodded slightly, indicating for her to continue.
The girl said: "The snow girl also ordered the tribe's hunting team to hunt more bison. Now the tribe kills more than ten bison every day. The entire tribe can't finish the meat they brought back."
"The elders were worried that the meat would spoil, so they started drying it to make meat patties."
"This is the first time Yuki-onna has eaten that kind of meatloaf. It's crunchy and melts quickly in your mouth. It also tastes like salt."
"By the way, God, the elders of the tribe hope to let the caravan carry salt for trade in exchange for the supplies the tribe needs and more furs, but the snow girl does not dare to make a decision easily."
"My father also reminded me that the tragedy of the past cannot happen again! Therefore, my father and the elders hope that the snow girl can listen to your guidance and make the final decision."
Zhou Li'an did not rush to give an answer, but asked: "Is there any more?"
He wanted to obtain as much information as possible to make the most comprehensive consideration.
The girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then said sadly: "The Snow Girl uses the sweat room every day to clean her body...but the Snow Girl actually doesn't like the sweat room. It's very stuffy and makes it difficult to breathe."
"But the witch once said that the snow girl must clean herself every day and serve you with the cleanest body."
Ah, this...
Zhou Li'an looked at the girl with complicated eyes.
After feeling this gaze, the girl lowered her head in fear and said in a panic: "Ah, the snow girl will be obedient... she will clean herself every day, God, please forgive me..."
Zhou Li'an gave a wry smile and said: "Daily cleanliness is correct, you must maintain it."
The girl's face became distressed again, but after a few seconds, she became determined again: "The snow girl is willing to obey God's command."
Zhou Li'an said: "But you don't need to use the sweat room every day. Ask someone to boil hot water for cleaning."
He was lucky enough to experience an Indian sweat lodge once. It was a sauna built with tents in the wild. The principle was the same as in China, probably because they had the same ancestors.
Put the red-hot stones into the tent, prepare water to pour upwards, and put sage, cedar and other aromatic herbs on the hot stones for incense.
The whole process is holy, and for the aboriginal people, it is an important ritual to drive away diseases and evil spirits, and to find oneself and spiritual connection.
The girl was shocked and said stupidly: "Hot water? That will burn the snow girl to death."
Zhou Li'an was speechless: "Mix it with cold water. If you like, you can also use cold water directly. Do you understand?"
"Hmm." She nodded in understanding.
Zhou Li'an took another look at her teeth... Unless there was a deep cleaning, there was no way to save her teeth. Forget it, let's leave it at that.
He kept walking and the girl continued talking.
No matter how big or small, whether important or not, Zhou Li'an listened quietly.
Because even unimportant information can be stripped of valuable things.
The aboriginal people are relatively clean-loving people, and they use sweat lodges to clean their bodies twice a month during worship ceremonies.
This ‘love of cleanliness’ should be maintained and strengthened.
Bathing once a week is not too much, right?
Public bathhouses can be built in tribes to redefine their hygiene habits.
And, the issue of drinking water.
The aboriginal people already use charcoal and cotton and linen to filter drinking water, but they also have the same problem as in ancient countries, and they will not drink boiled water.
These problems may seem trivial, but they affect their physical health.
When good living habits gradually evolve into conventions, culture and civilization will be born.
The road to civilization is long and requires countless small details to build and construct.
The two came to the foot of the cliff inside the valley.
Only then did Zhou Li'an discover that stone houses had been carved out of the cliffs on both sides.
The girl happily led him into the largest stone house, which was obviously carefully decorated, and said: "God, this is your residence. The snow girl also lives here these days."
"Every day, women from the tribe come to clean it and take care of it with herbs and aromatherapy. There are several layers of raccoon skins laid on the stone platform. These raccoon skins were exchanged and are very precious."
"God, try it quickly, it's very soft."
Zhou Li'an smiled and sat down. The soft fur was indeed very comfortable.
He looked at the girl: "Snow Girl, you haven't answered my question yet, are you willing to learn my language?"
The girl looked very happy: "Yes, the snow girl is willing, but can the snow girl really learn God's words?"
"As long as you are willing, you can learn it!"
Language unification is imperative.
Of course, Zhou Li'an cannot teach everyone personally. He must first select a few communicators and then spread them to the entire tribe.
Only after the entire tribe has learned it can we consider promoting it to the outside world.
As for how to promote...
"Xue Nu, please call the clan leader and elders. I have something to say to them."
The girl suddenly became serious and stood at the door. After the other party was driven away, the people following behind her silently shouted -
"God is willing to accept your worship!"
Zhou Li'an watched the girl give orders in a decent manner, and felt a bit of approval in his heart.
In fact, girls do not need to learn the skills of witches.
To them, their own existence is the arrival of the true god.
The witches of the past were all useless and false heretics. All the girl had to do was to respect her true heart and devote herself to the true God with sincerity and humility.
