Chapter 33: The Birth of Writing

Early in the morning, the first thing the girl bell did when she woke up was to confess to the old witch doctor about the strange dream he had.

Hopefully, the erudite old witch doctor can help her out.

But when he learned all this, the old witch doctor didn't say anything. He just patted the girl on the shoulder and asked her to write it all down. Then, he persuaded the head of the gathering place, Tam, to make the girl an assistant in the warehouse that managed the grain in the gathering place.

Apparently, the old witch doctor guessed what those abstract symbols meant. But for long-term considerations, he did not directly inform the conclusion he guessed, but wanted the girl to have an epiphany in the process of practice.

In this way, another three months passed, and in the position of assistant in the warehouse, in order to be able to count in detail how much food and fur there was in the gathering place.

The girl also used those abstract symbols without a teacher.

After all, compared to tying knots in a rope or drawing on a wall, the abstract symbols in the dream are undoubtedly simple and clear.

Many symbols, such as mountains, trees, people, sheep, etc., can be recognized at a glance and understood by others even if the girl does not explain them.

Because of this, these symbols have been quietly spread among the tribes.

First, the warriors, who owned many slaves and livestock, carved these simple and clear symbols into the sharpened wooden boards in bronze daggers to count their wealth.

Then, other people gradually adopted these symbols after frequent contact.

Then, through the trading and dissemination between gathering places, these symbols have been widely spread in another half a year. Even some of the clever people in the tribe were inspired by this to create some new symbols.

However, because of the old witch doctor, the tribesmen still know that the first person to write these symbols was the maiden bell. She was taught by God.

Therefore, as these symbols spread more and more widely and more often, Tam as the leader of the Holy Land found her.

"Our Lord has passed on this knowledge to you. So, you're going to come up with a name for these symbols, right?"

Word. God has already named these symbols, and they are called words. ”

Word. Tam nodded in understanding.

So, it starts from this moment. The tribe finally has a word.

......

"Hey, look, what's that?"

A few days later, in the upper reaches of Qingxi, dozens of miles away from the Qingxi tribe, two young tribesmen who came to hunt here suddenly found a golden stone by the river.

The stone is beautiful, and it glows golden in the sun's rays. The young clansman had never seen anything like it, and waved his companion to him. But he learned that his companion had never seen such a stone.

"But the stone is beautiful, just a little soft. ”

Throwing the gold nuggets in his hand at the rocks on the riverbank, the two of them searched the river, driven by curiosity. In the end, the two returned with a full load.

Liang Tian, whose eyeliner spread for hundreds of miles, noticed this scene, but he only glanced at it in a hurry and didn't care.

In the upper reaches of Qingxi, there are apparently some open-pit gold mines. But with the current level of productivity of the tribe, such things as gold and silver are not of much value.

In the future, as productivity and population grow substantially, precious metals such as gold and silver may be called the mainstream currency of the tribe. But it's still early.

Therefore, at this moment, Liang Tian is still more concerned about the vast unknown world outside the known world.

As mentioned earlier, the tribe is surrounded by impassable mountains to the west and south, and endless forests to the east and north. Suffice it to say, none of them are easy to explore.

Even if the power of the tribe is not to be underestimated now, if it expands in four directions at the same time, it is more than enough to be able to do it.

Therefore, in order to be safe, under the guidance of Liang Tian, the main direction of expansion of the tribe was set to the north and the west.

After all, the forests in the north are far less dense and dangerous than in the east, and the mountains in the west are not as steep as in the south. With the current strength of the tribe, it is still possible to explore at the same time.

The only problem is that the tribes are not short of land and resources, and the vast majority of them have little desire to expand externally, except for a few warriors who are eager to be blessed.

As a result, the process of the tribe's external expansion seems to be very slow, but at least the pace of external expansion has not stopped.

And in order to promote the greatness of Liang Tian and show the piety of the tribe, as the leader of the rock cliff, Ji decided to set up a statue for Liang Tian on the top of a mountain in the west with the original boulder on the top of the mountain.

And because what the statue sees is what Liang Tian sees, the statue itself also has the characteristic of carrying the power of faith. Even if it is half a doppelganger of Liang Tian, Liang Tian is also happy to see it.

However, with the passage of time, after a few more cold and summers, the giant stone statue of more than seven meters high erected for Liang Tian has been built. But in the Holy Land, the old witch doctor who first communicated with Liang Tian also fell ill on the bed, and his life was about to end.

The old witch doctor is the real elder of the tribe, and in the process of the tribe becoming weak, he has really made great contributions to the tribe. In addition, he played a big role in spreading Liang Tian's faith.

Now, his life is coming to an end, and not only the witches and chieftains of the tribe have come. The white wolf Geralt also carried Liang Tian's gaze and came to his sickbed.

"Ha, you don't need to feel sorry for me. After my body dies, my soul will come to the kingdom of God of my Lord. I will be there, forever happy and peaceful. ”

The lies that Liang Tian had compiled still made the old witch doctor believe them.

Therefore, even when death was approaching, the old witch doctor did not feel afraid.

Just looked at the young girl bell next to the sickbed, and there was a lot of reluctance in her eyes.

Therefore, he put away the smile on his face and turned his gaze to the tall giant Tam, and couldn't help but say: "Rammer, please take care of her for me." You are the most trustworthy person I know. ”

"Don't worry, Witch Doctor. May you enjoy eternal joy in the kingdom of God of our Lord. ”

Tam nodded, and left. Saved the last days of the old witch doctor for the girl bell who had grown up.

This made the old witch doctor can't help but squeeze out a smile, looked at the tearful girl in front of him and said, "I said, there is no need to cry for me." Although I will leave you, I will only start a new life. This will save me from the trouble and torment of illness, my child, shouldn't you be happy for me?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand to call the girl to his side, and then grasped the girl's hand with his thin hand.

Then, with his last strength, he said: "You have to live well, you are the smartest child I have ever seen." Otherwise, I will not teach you medicine, and my Lord will not teach you to read.

Child, I believe in you and have confidence in your future. Although until now, the tribe has not blessed women or become witches, but I think you can do it.

At that time, even in the Kingdom of God, I will be proud of you!"
