Chapter 21: Exploration
"Speaking of which, where did Blacktooth go?" Thor looked around, only to realize that Blacktooth, who had been the most impatient in the cave, was gone, and just as he was wondering, a cry came from behind him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Noam, Noam—!" Before he could turn around, Thor knew it must be Blacktooth.
"When did he get ahead of me?" Thor sighed secretly, "Disorganized and undisciplined"
When he raised his head, he saw Blacktooth striding in front of him, revealing a mouthful of teeth as black as coal, and his expression was exaggerated, as if he had seen something terrible, and shouted to Thor:
"Noam—come and see—I'm sorry, where are we!?"
Hearing his tone of surprise and urgency, Thor didn't know what was going on, but for fear of causing panic again, he hurriedly covered his mouth, motioned for him to be quieter first, and then whispered:
"What's wrong? What do you see?"
Blacktooth gasped a few times and said in a panic, "I, I don't know-it's too big-it's too big-"
Listening to his confused words, and unable to figure out what was going on, Thor pushed him on the back and said:
"Take me around, be quiet. ”
The two of them ran forward for a while, only to find that there was no road, there was a cliff in front of them, and to the west there was a path leading to the hillside, and when they got closer, Thor realized that they had come out of the cave, probably halfway up a mountain.
"Just ahead, Noam—" Blacktooth cautiously gestured as Thor slowly walked a few more steps forward to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
The waves crashed against the cliff below, and the white spray smashed into powder on the hard reef, sprinkled in the air, reincarnated into the sea, and rolled up again like a cliff.
Looking at it again, the boundless, boundless blue, under this cliff, is the vast and boundless sea.
Thor smiled secretly, no wonder Black Tooth panicked like this, although he grew up in the barren corner, but Thor's tribe had been in the middle of the island before, and the tribe's range of activities was only limited to a few hundred meters around, and everyone in the tribe had never seen the sea in their lives, and now it was not surprising that there was such a reaction.
"I didn't expect to come to the beach, and it seemed that I had passed through the cave and came directly from the middle of the island to the southernmost point. ”
Thor thought about it, but he thought it would be good, coming to the beach was much better than before, at least in terms of food supplements, the tribesmen could fish in the future.
But I'm afraid I have to learn from scratch, no matter how I look at it, there is no one in the tribe who is good at fishing, so Saul pondered that he would have to teach it slowly.
As soon as he thought of what was going to happen next, Thor felt that he had no time to enjoy the sea view here, so he hurriedly took Blacktooth's hand and ran back, saying as he ran:
"Don't worry, it's not something terrible, it's the sea, it's the wealth given to us by God, it's too late for you to be happy in the future, what are you afraid of?"
"Heavens?" Blacktooth still hesitated, he had never seen such a vast thing in his life, he almost thought he was in the sky.
"It's the ancestors, the ancestors who led us to this place and gave us this wealth. Thor explained in a way that savages could understand.
"Is the blessing of the ancestors......" As soon as he heard that it was the wealth given by the ancestors, the black tooth was able to accept it, and he meditated for a while, and then excitedly shouted at Thor:
"Nome, Nome, I have prayed every day like the spirits of the ancestors, praying that the ancestors will bless Nome and lead us to a new home. He exclaimed excitedly:
"The ancestors must have heard my request, it must have been ...... Abba, did you hear my request......"
The two of them hurried again and returned to the vicinity of the mouth of the cave, where they saw Diana waving anxiously to them.
"Lord Thor!" Diana's angry look even scared Thor.
"How can you run away without a trace at such a time!?" the woman waved her arms, looking really angry: "Now that the tribe has no water and no food, what to do next is still waiting for you to decide, but you disappeared by yourself, do you know how anxious I am." ”
Morey also walked over with Tula's support, after the storm Morey almost fell ill, although he has survived, but after all, he is old, and he is no longer as healthy as before, and he needs help to walk from time to time.
"I'm sorry, but Blacktooth and I went to scout the surrounding terrain. Thor hurriedly changed the subject, "Guess what, we're at the southernmost edge of the island now, and a few hundred meters south from here is the sea." ”
Diana naturally knew the sea, and she was no longer entangled, listening to Saul's words, she folded her arms slightly, stroked the hair in her ears and said: "The top priority is to think about the next place to settle, at least before the sun sets today, to make the next arrangements." ”
Morey nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Indeed, the sooner it is settled, the sooner the hunting and gathering order of the tribe can be restored, and the food will be guaranteed." ”
Thor knew that what the two men were saying made sense, and he called Kratos and Pompeii over, so that the few members of the tribe who were involved in the decision-making were basically gathered.
Thor put away his relaxed smile, looked at Kratos with a serious expression and said, "Kratos, please go east, find out the terrain of the east and draw it, I think you should be able to draw a map." ”
"Leave it to me. Kratos nodded, and took the small jar that Thor had handed over, a feather and a piece of animal skin, the jar contained the dye used to mark the previous storm, which was originally only used during tribal sacrifices, and was now almost exhausted.
"I went to the south, where there was a path on the west side where there was a path to go up, in addition to the cliff. Saying that, Thor looked at the rest of the people again, and said with some embarrassment:
"Who of you left can draw a simple map?" Seeing Morey and Diana raise their hands, Thor hurriedly said, "Old man Morey is not in good health, Diana, I still need you to organize the rest of the clansmen......"
With that, he turned his gaze to Blacktooth and Pompeii, both of whom apparently did not understand how to draw the map, and both bowed their heads in embarrassment.
"Let Bertha go. Morey sighed and said, "The general terrain should still be drawn." ”
Thor looked at Bertha when he heard the sound, and the girl nodded, and agreed with a smile, and in recent times, Thor has noticed that the little girl has smiled a lot.
"Well, then let's do it first, Pompeii, you take two warriors to follow Bertha to protect her, remember that the most important thing is to find a source of water, whether it is a river or a stream or something. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then a timid voice sounded beside Thor: "I want to go with it, I also want to learn how to draw maps...... May I...... Master Nome......"
It turned out to be Tula, who raised his little hand at some point.
There are few savages in the tribe who love to learn, and of course Thor readily agreed: "Okay, then you come with me." He asked Tula to follow him, then pointed to the sun and said to the others:
"In any case, when the sun goes down again, we will all come back to meet" Looking up and seeing everyone nodding, Thor waved his hand and said, "Then without further ado, let's go." ”
