012. The Story of the Chicken and the Egg (Part 2)
This question stopped Lu Luo. The little girl was also thinking seriously. After a while, she frowned and said to herself: "I heard my father said that Huwa is the only orphan of the Qingshui clan, and that
The chickens originally belonged to the Qingshui clan. Now Huwa has become a member of our Lu clan, and the chickens also belong to Lucun. Of course the clan leader will have to ask Huwa if they will be given to your village."
The monkey showed an expression of sudden realization, while Luo Luo walked away with his hands behind his back, ignoring this person. Li Qingshui was secretly worried. He hoped that his worries were unnecessary. Even if the monkey knew about this, this person would
The tribesmen in Huahai Village probably had little chance of spreading the news to Chiwangqiu. Although Li Qingshui knew that Huwa was not a blood orphan of the Qingshui clan, he did not want him to be in danger.
I remember that when Ruoshan brought the tiger baby back, he solemnly told the tribe not to tell the tiger baby's origins outside the village. From now on, he would be regarded as a child of Lu Village! This clan leader is certainly not as simple-minded as other tribesmen.
, he considered things more carefully. A powerful enemy of unknown origin outside the mountain destroyed the Qingshui clan. It seemed that no one was left alive, but Huwa only escaped by chance.
Ruoshan doesn't know what grudges there are, but it seems that the purpose of those people is to kill them all. If the murderer knows that the Qingshui family still has blood orphans left, he may also pursue him, which may give Huwa and the way to take him in.
The village brought unpredictable dangers. However, something strange happened when he discovered the tiger baby, which made Ruoshan believe that it was God's will for Lu Village to take in and raise the child. Of course he believed in ghosts and gods, so he would definitely do so, and at the same time try to avoid
future trouble.
Of course, the Lu tribe will strictly implement Ruoshan's order and will not even talk about it in private. Over the years, many tribesmen have gradually forgotten the past and completely regarded Huwa as a Lu villager. If the monkey hadn't specifically asked today
Well, Lu Luo probably can’t even remember this.
Luluo's father was one of the tribesmen who followed Ruoshan into the Qingshui Clan. He later mentioned this matter to Luluo's mother, and Luluo heard it from the side. Luluo was still very young at that time, which was when she started to remember things.
At that time, such an unheard of event also brought great shock to her young mind, so the impression was very deep.
This little girl also remembered the clan leader's instructions - not to tell this matter outside the village, but she was in the village at this time, and she didn't expect so much. Not to mention that the monkey accidentally learned about Huwa's life experience, and the two clans
The atmosphere of eating meat together was extremely lively. Ruoshan took the opportunity to propose something to discuss with Gu Xin - Lu Village and Huahai Village formed an alliance. When dealing with other ethnic groups, they agreed to act together.
Before the clan leader Gu Xin could answer, the other Huahai Village people present cheered and loudly agreed, thinking that they should form an alliance with the Lu Village people. Gu Xin nodded happily. After eating, the two clan leaders led their clan members respectively.
, presided over a ceremony in front of the altar to announce the alliance, offered sacrifices and reported the matter to the mountain god, in order to ask for the god's witness and protection.
Of course, there must be sacrifices in the ceremony, so everyone put the remaining two muntjacs on the altar to offer sacrifices to the mountain god. At this time, the two complete muntjac skins had been peeled off and placed separately from the meat. This ceremony took a while.
In addition to announcing the alliance, he prayed to the mountain gods repeatedly for more than an hour.
The mountain god "appeared". After the ceremony, the two suede skins had been refined with mysterious power and became clean, soft, smooth and tough. They were the best leather materials the tribe had ever seen. Normally,
It couldn't be processed at all. Ruoshan kept one piece of suede skin for himself and gave the other piece to Gu Xin as a witness to the alliance.
When Gu Xin took the suede skin, his eyes were full of surprise, but he didn't say anything. After the ceremony, it was getting late the day after tomorrow, so Gu Xin ordered the tribe to take the monkey back first and wait until tomorrow to follow the clan rules in public.
But Gu Xin himself did not leave immediately with his tribe. He came to Ruoshan's stone house and asked privately: "Master Shan, are these two muntjac skins refined by the mountain god for you, or do you cast the spell yourself?"
Disposed of?"
Ruoshan smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think? In the past five years, have you ever heard the voice of the mountain god?"
Gu Xin sighed, shook his head and said: "I've never heard it again! Unfortunately, my cultivation level is only three realms and three levels, so I can't call out to the mountain god. I can only wait for the mountain god to take the initiative to speak to me. And with your ability, Lord Shan, you should
You can call the mountain god, but won’t you get a response?”
Ruoshan nodded and said, "Yes, I have led my tribe to hold sacrificial ceremonies many times and secretly called the mountain god, but I didn't get any response. I'm afraid our mountain god has disappeared, and I have never told the tribe about this."
Gu Xin said: "Me neither." Then the two clan leaders fell silent and sat there quietly until dusk came again in the mountains.
The next day, the leader of the Ruoshan tribe ordered to gather the strongest men in the tribe and personally lead the team to cast spells. They cut down two giant trees in the mountain, removed the branches and transported the long trunks to the cliff. Yesterday, the people of Huahai Village built a bridge with two tree trunks.
The two tree trunks brought down from the mountain by the villagers today are as thick as three adults standing side by side.
They set up the two tree trunks, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching the middle trunk, and then flattened the upper surface of the middle trunk. A stable and safe "bridge" appeared on the cliff. In the following days, Ruoshan held the
The bone staff often walks back and forth on this wooden bridge. In fact, it is secretly casting magic to refine these three tree trunks, making them as strong and immortal as possible, and becoming a long-term passage between the two villages.
The reason why Ruoshan did this was of course because the latest situation among the various tribes in this wilderness area was quietly undergoing disturbing changes in recent years. He had already had this idea, and today he just chose the most appropriate choice at the most appropriate occasion.
At the right time, Gu Xin is almost like bringing the people of Huahai Village to his door.
Although the various tribes in this wilderness area had occasional disputes in the past, they have basically lived in peace for hundreds of years, not only because of the existence of a common mountain god, but also because of the powerful Qingshui clan in the center. No tribe here can compete with the Qingshui clan.
In contrast, the Qingshui clan's walled city was also the center for various tribes to exchange various items and exchange various information.
Even if there is no alliance of various tribes, the Qingshui clan is invisibly the leader of each tribe. With it, this wilderness is generally peaceful and stable. However, the Qingshui clan suddenly collapsed, and the mountain god disappeared from view, leaving the tribes with no control.
The living environment has brought great impact, and changes are inevitable.
All tribes in the wilderness believe in ghosts and gods, and the ruins of the Qingshui Clan's fortress where the tragedy occurred is also considered an ominous place. In the first two years, almost no one dared to go in alone. However, there have been exchanges and exchanges between the tribes, and
It is impossible not to have contact. The open valley in the middle of the wilderness is the best place for communication between various ethnic groups. It is also the best place to build cities and cultivate fields.
When people gradually stopped being too afraid, there would naturally be tribes that wanted to occupy this treasured land. The ruins of the Qingshui clan's walled city were still there, but the useful things inside had long been confiscated by the tribes. There was another empty space next to the ruins.
On the ground, markets spontaneously formed for tribes to exchange goods, and gradually people built houses and enclosed fields.
In the beginning, everyone was doing their own thing, and the place was very big anyway, but recently, conflicts and struggles have begun. After the Qingshui clan ceased to exist, there were several relatively powerful tribes in the mountains in this area, among which the most powerful
Even with the Fish Tribe and the Lu Tribe, as well as Huahai Village and several Monster Tribe villages in the mountains that rarely interact with outsiders, they are not weak.
Compared with the central valley where Qingshui Clan Walled City is located, Lu Village is higher on the mountain, and it takes a whole day to walk up. Although Youyu Village is also in the high mountains, it is located lower than Qingshui Clan Walled City, about 100 meters away.
Walking down the mountain for half a day, it is located next to the only way for outsiders to enter and exit the Qingshui Clan Walled City.
Lu Village on the mountain and Youyu Village at the foot of the mountain have been prospering like never before in recent years. Lu Village is because there are two masters, Ruoshan and Ruoshui, in charge. More importantly, it has richer products than before, which can ensure that the people of the tribe are more prosperous.
Good survival and reproduction. The reason why there is a fish village is because of its location. It is on the commercial road connecting this wilderness to the outside of the mountains. Although the road passing through their village is also very winding and rugged, it is easier to walk than other mountain roads in the wilderness.
Much more.
There is a large lake near Huahai Village called Huahai. There is also a large lake deep in the mountains near Youyu Village, which is called Fish Sea. The area of Fish Sea is several times that of Huahai. The lake surface is several miles wide and narrow.
Some places are so deep that they seem to be connected to underground rivers. There are fish in the Fish Sea, and there are many of them, hence the name. The tribes living by the Fish Sea also call themselves the Fish Clan.
The Youyu tribe migrated from the Bayuan outside the mountains many years ago to escape the war. Their ancestors are said to be servants of the ancestors of the Qingshui tribe and settled on the coast of Yuhai. Their descendants took Yu as their surname, but did not have a family name. They
What makes it different from other villages is that it knows how to fish. Like many tribes living in Bayuan, they claim to be descendants of Emperor Taihao.
Legend has it that when Emperor Taihao was the emperor, he made nets with his own hands and taught people how to fish on the East China Sea. Tong Mang, who helped Emperor Taihao govern his subjects, taught people how to make nets based on the shape of the nets. Luo was used on the ground.
A kind of open net, which can be used to screen things and catch birds and animals. From then on, it was also called net.
The Youyu clan remembers this ancient legend. They can weave fishing nets and also make boats to travel through the sea of fish to catch fish. After the Qingshui clan was destroyed, the patriarch of Youyu Village and important figures in the clan gradually became ambitious.
I want to take over the status of the Qingshui clan and one day be able to be called the "Youyu clan".
