Chapter 72: The Way of the Bone (I)

Looking at the animal skin windshield curtain, Gongliang expressed his satisfaction with his craftsmanship.

Thinking that Uncle Dashi's house next door had no door, he walked over.

The weather was slightly cold, and Xiao Shi Eminem sat in front of the stove, holding a thick bone needle and sewing animal skin.

Gongliang came to the house and saw that there was also a thin layer of snow on the ground of her house, so he asked, "Eminem, the wind is so strong, it's cold inside!"

"A little bit. It's the limelight on your side, it should be colder, so be careful. Xiao Shi Eminem said with concern.

"I just got a hide to keep outside, and it's not cold in the room, it's warm. ”

Xiao Shi Eminem heard the novelty, so he walked over to look at it, and went to his house to sit for a while, it was really warm, and he couldn't help but praise: "You kid is so smart, unlike my Xiaoshi, who is so stupid." ”

"Of course. Gongliang accepted Xiao Shi's praise without modesty, and said: "Eminem, why don't I get it for your house too, so that it will be warmer, so that Xiao Xiaoshi will not freeze when he sleeps at night." ”

Xiao Shi Eminem didn't think about it, so he nodded and responded: "Okay, you go and cut the wood, and I'll find an old leather to come out and nail it." ”

It didn't take much effort to make a door frame, and after nailing the animal skin, the room was much warmer. After looking at it, Xiao Shi Eminem was very satisfied with Gongliang's craftsmanship and praised him fiercely.

After Gongliang left, she continued to sew animal skins at home, and when the weather was cold, she had to make a dress with Dashi, Xiaoshi, Xiaoxiaoshi, and them. While sewing, she looked at the animal skin curtain that blocked the wind and snow, and felt that Ah Liang's child was really good. She felt that she should tell someone about it, otherwise they wouldn't know how good Ah Liang was.

So, she put down her sewing needle and walked next door.

In less than half a day, the people of the entire tribe knew that Gongliang made the door frame nailed to block the wind and snow.

Some even went to his door to take a look, and felt good, so they asked him to help make the door frame nail hide.

People from the same tribe didn't look up and looked down, so Gongliang refused, so he agreed.

Who knew that there would be two of them, and there would be three of them, and in the end, there would be a bunch of people who asked him to help. Gongliang couldn't wait to punch himself, he just wanted to help Uncle Dashi's house get a curtain to protect him from the wind and snow, but he didn't expect to find an errand for himself, so he wouldn't have done it if he knew it.

But since you promised others, you can't break your word and get fat.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to make the door frame, but it takes more time to split thick wood chips, and one or two are fine, but a bunch of people have to do it, and it is a little tiring to chop it.

Fortunately, some men in the family did not go out to hunt, so they came to help Gongliang chop wood chips.

One, two, and finally the work of chopping thick wood chips was contracted by the warriors of the tribe who had nothing to do, and Gongliang only needed to make the door frame and nail the hides. The speed suddenly became faster. In a day or so, he almost helped all the tribesmen to make the door frames and nail them to the animal skins.

"Aryan, these are the fruits that Nago brought back from his last hunting trip, no one in the tribe has them, they are very delicious, you can taste them. ”

After nailing the animal skin curtain of the last house, Eminem enthusiastically handed over a small basket of fruits.

Gongliang ate one, and it was really sweet, so he took it with thanks.

Almost when the curtain is nailed to the door frame, people will give something as a gift.

As a result, Gongliang ate something he had never seen before. But more of it had already been eaten, so he threw it to the round roll as a snack. The little guy was so happy, and he was especially good to him these days. When he sleeps, he will give him a loving hug.

After nailing the curtain of the last house, it was already afternoon.

Gongliang was idle again, and suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have gotten the information of the rune true bone with Wu yet, so he walked towards the ancestral temple.

When he approached the ancestral temple, he heard a sound coming from inside, and couldn't help but quietly approach and look inside.

Suddenly, he was startled, and it was full of leaders of the tribe, who were standing respectfully on the left and right sides and listening to the witch. Wu happened to look over and beckoned to him, and Gongliang had no choice but to walk in.

"That's the way it is, go ahead and prepare!"

"Yes. ”

The tribal warriors retreated respectfully one by one, without looking at Gongliang. Meeting in the Temple of the Ancestral Gods was a very sacred matter, and no one dared to talk to each other or sleep and snore. Only what the witches say, what they do. For the tribal prophets, that fear and worship have long been deeply engraved in the bones of the Yanbe people.

"Witch. ”

Gongliang respectfully greeted Wu.

Wu nodded and walked inside, followed by Gongliang.

"I heard that the door frame and animal skin windshield curtain you made for people are good, and you can come and make one for me when you have time. When people are old, they feel cold to their bones when they are blown by the cold wind. "When he walked through the ancestral temple to the stone house where Wu was located, Wu said to Gongliang.

Gongliang hurriedly agreed.

When he got inside, he saw Mabe Wuerbo sitting at a low table where tribal witches often sit, holding a roll of animal skins and looking at it.

Apparently unimpressed, Wu walked over and sat down beside him, then took a handful of animal skins from under the shelf and placed them on the table.

"This is a record of the true bones of the runes left by the ancestors, and now the wild beasts here are almost extinct, and I haven't in-depth understanding. You take it back and take a look, and if you don't understand it, come back and ask me. ”

"Yes. Gongliang responded.

After Wu handed over the hide, he opened a blank scroll of hide next to him and wrote with a charcoal pen.

Concentrated, he forgot that time existed.

After a while, when I raised my head, I suddenly found that Gongliang hadn't left yet, and I couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?"

"Hmm," Gongliang pondered for a moment before he said, "Wu, can you teach me the method of bone divination in the forest last time." ”

"Do you want to learn?" Wu Wenyan said, putting down the charcoal.

"Yes," Gongliang said, "I think so, if you learn bone divination, then when you go out and get lost in the forest, you can tell a direction." ”

"Bones require a lot of talent, and non-gifted people can't learn it, are you sure you can do it?"

"I feel like I'm very talented. Gongliang hurriedly said.

Wu turned his head and glanced at Erbo, "That's what he said back then. ”

I don't know what to think of, Erbo's eyelids jumped wildly, and his face moved unnaturally.

Seeing his appearance, Wu smiled and said to Gongliang: "You can learn it if you want, but I don't know much about the way of bone divination, and I have learned it from the records of my predecessors." If you want to learn, you can only learn from the handscrolls of your predecessors, but I can't teach you. After all, the way of bone divination is extremely mysterious, a person has a person's opinion, a thousand people have a thousand people's perception, everything depends entirely on talent. After all, other people's statements can only be used as references, and sometimes they are misleading, so that you will not be able to learn the real thing. ”

As he spoke, he took out a bone cylinder from a drawer at the bottom of the shelf, which was engraved with an inexplicable pattern of mystery, and he didn't know what it meant.

Gongliang respectfully took it, thanked Wu and then retreated.
