Chapter 71: The Mysterious Tribe (2)
PS: It's on the shelves, thank you to the starting point girls' network, thank you to my responsible editor, thank you to all the people who support me, thank you!
Walking closer to the rock wall and looking closely, I realized that this is not an ordinary geological fault, and several protruding objects are clearly visible on it, similar to the fossils in the museum.
"This is a fossil?" I touched the protrusion with my hand, and it was a little sleek, like a fossil of an egg.
"Yes, this is the fossil left by Deya's ancestors, these eggs are Deya people who have not hatched." As he spoke, the old man pointed to the slope of the rock wall: "Look there." ”
I looked in the direction of his finger, and the dinosaur skeleton was clearly visible.
"Holy! Are you from the same period as dinosaurs? "This conclusion is so crazy that if some scientist or biologist discovers this place, the consequences are unimaginable.
"You've lived so long, why are you mixed up like this now?"
"Living long does not mean that we have great ability, our race has been in a weak position at all times, once there were huge dinosaurs, and later there were humans. We don't like war, and the pursuit of peace is fundamental to what we can continue to do. "The old man was impassioned, but I couldn't understand it.
"Then you just live like this, what's the point of every day, every year, wouldn't it be better if you walked out of this mountain and went to the outside world to see more things?"
The old man looked at me with a smile and poked the ground with the tip of his cane: "Young man, look at this little ant on the ground. ”
I crouched down and sure enough, I spotted a yellow ant carrying food.
"You tell me what is the point of its existence? What a difference every day, every year. Whether it is Deya people, human beings or other creatures in the world, the fundamental meaning of their existence is to reproduce, but the wisdom of human beings has made you more **. ”
"That's what you say. Is it wrong to have pursuits? "I'm not convinced by his claims.
"It depends on how you look at this in the human world. It would be shameful not to pursue it, because you need to improve. But not in Deya. We enjoy comfort, we don't threaten, we don't have fear. Without a sense of danger, we will not be compelled to pursue progress. ”
"What if one day suddenly humans break into your world and break this peace? You can't win with your current abilities. ”
"Haha we can survive for so long, we can still escape from human eyes, although I can't tell you the principle, but I believe that in a few million years, you won't find this."
The old man led me to a very special building, the only stone building in the entire tribe. It's two taller than the average thatched hut.
"This is where we worship the gods." As he spoke, the old man put down the wooden staff in his hand and folded his hands to pay homage.
God? I curiously glanced into the stone house, and saw a sculpture standing in the middle of the room.
Tuya? When I saw her stone statue again, I was stunned: "Why do you also worship the Holy Spirit?" ”
"Holy Spirit? It turns out that she has other names, in fact, it was she who guided us to find you that day, and I saw the sword in your hand in the midst of the fire and understood the foreshadowing of the gods. ”
It turned out that everything was arranged by Tuya, it was she who saved me and Xiaorou, and it seems that I owe her love again this time.
A clansman hurried over and exchanged a few words with the old man.
"Young man, your friend has woken up." He looked at me and said.
"Xiaorou woke up?" Didn't stop for a moment. I hurried back to the hut I had just had.
Lifting the door curtain, Xiaorou was looking at me sideways, her eyes were a little wooden, and my heart tightened. She shouldn't have some kind of sequelae, right?
I looked down and went into the house, and my mind raced to think that if she didn't remember me. What should I say? Do you want to start again? I suddenly thought of my mother's favorite Korean drama
"Zhang Yao?" I didn't expect her to call out my name in the first sentence, but it's okay. Looks like I'm thinking too much.
"Xiaorou, how do you feel when you wake up? There's nothing uncomfortable about it. I sat down next to her and helped her pull the strands of hair that were in front of her.
"Where am I?" Her eyes hadn't recovered much.
"Baby, it's okay. Don't be afraid with me, you just need to rest well and don't think too much. As I spoke, I took her hand and held it in my hand, it was so warm, it was hard to imagine that she could come back to me after being cold that day.
"En~~" She gently moved her head and leaned against my lap: "I had a strange dream, in the dream I saw a big fire, you held a woman in the fire, I called you, but you ignored me"
Fool, isn't that woman you~~ But I didn't dare to tell her, because I was afraid that she would be afraid if she knew that her soul was out of her body.
"That's all dreams, dreams are all reversed, don't you see I'm by your side now."
I stayed with Xiaorou for another two days until she could walk. I had to explain this peculiar village to her.
"Zhang Yao, Zhang Yao! Look at how cute he is! Xiaorou picked up a baby that was only half a meter tall and ran to me.
"Cute, why don't we give birth to one too?" I had some wicked laughter.
"Nasty!" Seeing that I was not doing it properly, she pouted and gave me a blank look.
The old man slowly walked to our side, smiled and nodded: "Now that you have all recovered, it is time to leave here and return to the world that belongs to you." ”
I crouched down and said, "What's wrong?" Ready to take us away? I think that's really good, or we just don't leave. ”
"Good! All right! I also like to stay here, I didn't think I could stand so tall growing up. Xiaorou said cheerfully, comparing her height to that of a dwarf.
I covered my mouth and forced a laugh: "Yes, indeed, it seems that you are tall~~~"
"There was also a young man who came to our tribe more than 20 years ago, and he didn't want to leave at that time." The old man wiped his long beard: "Where you belong, you will belong to it, and some things cannot be forced." ”
I understand that people still don't want us to stay.,Alas~~ I have to go back.,I don't know what happened to my parents.,I hope this didn't alarm them.。
"Will I ever have a chance to come back in the future?" I didn't expect to get along for a few days, and I actually had an attachment to Deya.
"Perhaps, since you are holding the sword of the gods, I believe that you will definitely not be an ordinary human. In the future, if you can transcend the constraints of all things, you will find that this earth is not what humans imagined. ”
Listening to his words reminded me of the scenario that Tuya had predicted, if those would come true in the future, would this place also be destroyed.
I briefly described it to him, and the old man listened attentively, without expressing any opinion.
I wanted him to help me analyze the whole thing, but he only replied with a short sentence: if you want to see everything, you can only start from the heart.
What exactly does he mean? Is it that what I see with my eyes is not necessarily true, I am not undoubted about Tuya's prophecy, but such a long period of contact, as well as her teaching and help to me, made me believe in her more and more. (To be continued......)
