A female bear and tiger tribesman named Toto looked at Tushan with round eyes.

Tushan said: "Three meals a day, each meal has meat, and there is no broth that the Xionghu tribe has never had, as long as you perform well, you will be full." ”

A male Xionghu tribesman was a little unhappy and said: "Tushan, don't forget that you are also a member of the Xionghu tribe, don't be yours." ”

Tushan didn't speak, he suddenly stepped forward, raised his leg and kicked the bear and tiger tribesman to the ground, followed by his foot on his chest, and lowered his voice: "Baku, don't forget your current identity, you, you are a member of the Frost Valley tribe, let me hear what you say about the bear and tiger tribe, I will kill you." ”

The male Xionghu tribesman named Baku was stunned for a moment, followed by a little unbearable on his face, turned his head and said embarrassedly: "Remember, remember." ”

Toto and another member of the Bear and Tiger clan came up to persuade Tushan: "If you have something to say, what are you doing?" ”

Tushan opened the two of them and glared angrily, "I don't know what you have in mind, it may be that you are dissatisfied with joining the Frost Valley Tribe, or you may be dissatisfied with me leading you. I tell you, if it is the former, then you are really blind, and the treatment of the Frost Valley tribe is a hundred times better than that in the Xionghu tribe. If it's the latter, then okay, when you're full and rested, let's come over and fight, and if you win me, I'll go and tell the warriors, let you lead. ”

The three of Toto looked at each other, and they all lowered their heads involuntarily: "Know, I know..."

Tushan glanced at the three of them, and said in a sullen voice, "Follow me." ”

Seeing Tushan and the others go away, the thief who followed behind smiled at Ah Niu: "How about it, I'm not wrong." ”

Ah Niu shrugged his shoulders as if you were right.

The two separated, Ah Niu went out to hunt, and Ji Thief stayed in the tribe to continue training ten clansmen, including Ah Zhi.

When the training team rested, Ji Thief held the sundial to make it.

For the clansmen of the Xionghu tribe, the thief gave them the task of helping Usma to strengthen the defense of the valley.

When two days passed, the sundial with a clear scale was placed in the middle of the valley by the thief.

All the clansmen gathered around curiously to see and asked the thief what it was.

While looking at the sky, Ji Thief turned the sundial to the south, tilted it to a suitable angle, and nodded with satisfaction: "Sundial." ”

"Sundial?" asked the witch, puzzled.

Ji Thief snorted, pointed to the twelve quarters of an hour projected by the sundial at this time, and said: "When the scale came here, it proved that it was noon, that is, twelve o'clock, which means that it was time for lunch." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the position of the sundial at eight o'clock in the morning and the position of the sundial at six o'clock in the afternoon, and said, "When the sundial needle comes to these two places separately, it means that it is time for breakfast and dinner." ”

Everyone was amazed: "Is this used to mark the time to eat?"

Ji Thief shook his head: "No, I took this out, just to let everyone know that from the position of the sundial needle at seven o'clock in the morning to the position of the sundial needle at seven o'clock in the evening, it is the end of everyone's busy day." ”

"One day..."

"Yes, this concept is called time, for example, ten days is ten, and thirty days is a month, which is thirty days. ”

"Ten... Month..." The crowd whispered.

Ji Thief nodded: "Yes, also, three months is a season, that is, ninety days." ”

"What about the three seasons?" asked one of the clansmen bravely.

The other clansmen were also attracted by the strange calculation method of the thief, and nodded their heads and looked at the thief.

Ji Thief pursed his lips and was a little speechless: "There are no three seasons, only four seasons, four seasons, and another year." ”

"Years?"

When the fat elder heard this familiar word, he was a little stunned, if he remembered correctly, when the thief first came to be troubled by the thin elder, he said that the new year, but at that time he didn't know what the year meant.

"The year is divided into four seasons, that is, twelve months, about three hundred and sixty days. ”

"Warrior, did you come up with all this yourself?" asked the witch.

Ji Thief nodded, cheeky and said, "Of course." ”

One of the clansmen couldn't help but mutter: "Since you said that the year is three hundred and sixty days, then why do you have to divide it into four seasons, it is useless at all." ”

"Yes, you just need to know that the year is three hundred and sixty days. ”

Ji Thief asked back: "Why is it useless, dividing the year into four quarters is the most quintessential part." ”

People: "???"

Ji Thief pursed his lips and said: "First of all, the four seasons are not so simple to divide, they all have their own names, their names are called spring, summer, autumn, and winter. ”

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter?"

"Yes, spring sleepiness, autumn lack of summer, napping and hibernation, phew, it is spring and summer, long autumn harvest and winter storage. ”

"What do you mean!" everyone looked at the thief with wide eyes.

"Let's put it this way. Take the first quarter, which is the spring three months. This season is the season when everything recovers and the grass grows and the warbler flies. Secondly, it is summer, when everything is thriving, it is the hottest season of the year, and it is also the busiest season of the year. Then comes autumn, where frost kills all herbs, which is the harvest season, and autumn, when both animals and humans are desperately collecting food for winter. In the end, it is a cold winter, when the snow covers the mountains and food is scarce, and all kinds of creatures try to reduce their activities as much as possible in order to survive the harsh winter. Winter is followed by spring, and a new cycle begins. ”

Ji Thief explained the characteristics of the four seasons in detail for everyone.

Everyone listened carefully, until the end, they all heard in a fog, I don't know why, the only thing I remember is the three times of the day that Ji Thief said at the beginning.

It was Usma, who bowed her head thoughtfully.

If you follow what Ji Thief said, then everyone can start preparing before winter comes, so that there will be no embarrassment when winter comes, and everyone has no food to eat.

It's just that the only thing I don't understand is, what season is it now?

If you have to do the math, if you want to put it into account, the characteristics of the four seasons should only be summer.

Usma thought.

"Warrior Lord!"

At this moment, the clansmen standing guard at the door suddenly shouted and ran over, and they looked very anxious as they ran.

"Lord Warrior, no, no, no, the Black Mountain tribe is here again. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was in high spirits and looked at Ji Thief one after another.

This is only the seventh day, why did the Montenegrin tribe come early?

"Warrior, what should I do?" asked the witch, a little worried.

The other clansmen also asked the thief in the same way: "Yes, Lord Warrior, why are the people of the Black Mountain tribe here again?"

Tushan Rammer asked, "Could it be that we have returned our clansmen like last time?"

When the words fell, all the people looked at him.

Tushan, who knew that he was speechless, hurriedly lowered his head and remained silent.

Ji Thief shook his head: "I don't know, let's hide first, Usma, you go with me to see what's going on." ”

Usma agreed, and asked the thief, "Do you want to let the earth mountain and them go with you?" ”

This they refer to the four bear-and-tiger clansmen of Tushan, and Usma's meaning is obvious, that is, to bring a few of them with strong combat effectiveness in Tushan, in case something happens, they can also help.

The thief, who understood what Usma meant, shook his head: "No, the people of the Black Mountain tribe and the Xionghu tribe often break out into conflicts, and they will definitely be known by the people of the Black Mountain tribe, if they meet at that time, unnecessary disputes will outweigh the losses, so let's go." ”

Usma nodded, "Okay." ”

The thief said a few words to the old patriarch and the witch, and after they had taken their people down, they came to the bridge in front of the valley with Usma.

The clansman standing guard pointed to the front of the valley with his hand and said, "Look, Lord Warrior. ”

Following the direction of his finger, he saw four or five Montenegrin people resting with their backs against the big tree, and the leader was the undercover brother.

"Oh, what are you doing, how can you make the honorable Montenegrin warrior wait outside, open the door quickly. ”

The thief pretended to be angry and blamed the clansman who was standing guard.

"Yes, yes, I'll open the door, I'll open the door. ”

Understanding the meaning in the thief's eyes, the clansman hurriedly said.

There was a bang, the door opened, and the undercover brother led people in, and when he saw the thief, he greeted him with a smile: "Thief, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
