Eleven: Memories of yesterday

"Dongtu, Dongtu Panlong Kingdom is more than 10,000 kilometers away from us!" Meng Po said, "You have found my little tribe thousands of miles away, but is there anything wrong?"

"We were just passing by, we were actually going to the big world, we got lost in the forest, and we came here, seeing that you have people living here, I thought about coming over and inquiring, this place should not be far from the big world, right?"

"It turns out that the two are passing guests, the nearest place to the big world here is also more than 5,000 kilometers, the road is far away, and there are many ferocious large beasts in this primeval forest, this road is very dangerous, since the two of them are destined to come to us, our primitive tribe has not been a guest for more than two hundred years, the two of you will play here for a few days, how about walking after resting enough?"

After trekking through the forest for days, worrying about being attacked by wild beasts every night, it was of course a pleasure to suddenly have such a good place to rest for a few days. Dong'er asked Xue'er for her opinion again, and Xue'er agreed.

"I want to ask, the young man just now your brother recognized the wrong person in the forest, he mistook Dong'er for his brother, and he also mistakenly called me sister-in-law," Xue'er said this, and her face blushed unconsciously, but she still continued: "I originally thought he had an older brother who looked like Dong'er, but you didn't mistake us as soon as you saw us, I don't know what's going on?"

"Oh, I really can't explain this matter in a sentence or two, I'll tell you slowly!"

Next, Meng Po slowly told a story about the origin of this primitive tribe and some real things that had happened here.

A long, long time ago, it seemed that the first batch of people created by the goddess and the goddess were very careful and exquisite, and the people who were created were very beautiful, but the only drawback was that they did not give these people memory cells, so these people lived in the primeval forest, and when they woke up every morning, they would forget all the things that had happened before.

Later, the goddess Niangniang created a second group of people, and this second group of people later became the ancestors of the current big world people.

The first batch of these people were killed by the large beasts in the forest because they had no memory and were not united enough in the primeval forest.

Later, the goddess sent a dream to the world to inspect, and the dream was that she had just experienced the pain of losing her mother in her life, and she was very sad. He saw that these people without memories in the forest lived carefree, but their lives were in danger every day, so he chose the current place in the forest to build the current village, and moved those who had no memories to settle here.

But these people don't have memories after all, it's not a solution, and he tried his best to let them have memories, but the dream tried a lot of hard work, and it could only add a day's short memories to these people.

Dream had no choice but to choose a woman among these people and give her the name "Dream Po", and Dream extracted some of his memory cells and gave them to Dream Po, so that Dream Po had extraordinary memory.

Dream also taught Meng Po to collect three herbs in the mountains, so that Meng Po learned to boil herbs that can enhance memory and strengthen the body.

Dream has set up a ban within 30 kilometers around the canyon, which can control large carnivores from stepping into the canyon for 30 kilometers, so this forest has always been safe, and only some animals that are not lethal to humans can move in this area.

Dream dug a small stream at the edge of the village, and the stream water was for the villagers to drink, and he built a stone arch bridge over the stream to facilitate the villagers to enter and exit, so that Meng Po could live at the head of the bridge to protect the village.

When the dream woman reaches the seventieth birthday, she will die of old age, and the dream woman will have a dream before she dies, she will dream of her new body after reincarnation, and after waking up from the dream, the dream woman will go to the village to find the little girl in the dream, the little girl is the next dream woman, the little girl will live with the dream woman for a few days and serve the old dream woman to send her to the end, the old dream woman will hold the little girl's hand and die on her seventieth birthday, the little girl will have the dream woman's extraordinary memory at the moment the old dream woman dies, and will inherit the memory of the previous life dream woman.

This is how Meng Po has been passed down from generation to generation, and has been guarding this village in this way, guarding generation after generation.

These villagers in the primitive village, wake up every morning, their brains are very clear, although all the memories before waking up are completely forgotten, but those things that happened exist in their subconscious.

It's like a person who has never seen a snake, but one day suddenly sees a snake, although he doesn't know what animal it is, but when he sees it, he knows that he is afraid, and those fears are actually hidden in the subconscious memory of human beings.

There are some people who naturally hate another person, and there are people who are naturally crush on another person. These are actually controlled by the human subconscious.

And there are many low-level animals that can master a lot of survival skills as soon as they are born, and these skills do not exist in their memories, they can be said to be their instincts, and these instincts actually exist in their subconscious.

Snakes are animals that are born on their own, and ducks are born to swim.

The inhabitants of the primitive tribes would wake up in the morning and start their own independent life, they went up to the mountains to hunt, and went down to the rivers to fish. The women went to dig wild vegetables, saying that digging wild vegetables is actually not a wild vegetable, and they dig wild vegetables every day and at the same time go to plant some wild vegetables in some open fields, so their wild vegetables can not be dug up and eaten. They also pick some wild fruits in the mountains to eat.

In short, their lives are still very fulfilling, young people can also talk about love in their spare time, and they all have standards in their subconscious about who they like to be with and who they hate to be with. Those who have children have a strong mother's love in their subconscious, so those children will be well raised. Older people go for a walk outside in their leisure time to enjoy the scenery outside.

Because they can't remember their names, they don't have names, children call grandpa or grandma when they see older people, they call middle-aged people dad or mom, young people call each other brother and sister or younger brothers and sisters when they meet, and they call sister-in-law when they see a woman older than themselves who has reached the age of marriage, so the teenager calls Dong'er brother when he sees Dong'er at first sight, and it is not strange to see Xue'er call sister-in-law.

Each of them will live alone when they reach the age of being able to live independently, when they hunt a lot of prey or have excess wild vegetables, they will be sent to Meng Po, and when Meng Po is happy, they will be given a big bowl of Meng Po soup to drink, the Meng Po soup is not only delicious, after drinking it, they can actually remember what happened yesterday, and even what happened the day before yesterday can be recalled, and the luckiest can recall what happened within three days, but after a day or two, the medicine disappears and it is the same as everyone else, and the memory can only be retained for the day, and after sleeping at night, I can't remember anything the next day。

There are also a lot of memory cards in Mengpo's house, and each card corresponds to everyone in the village. When the people in the village encounter a major event that needs to be written down, Meng Po will enter it into this person's memory card, and if that person wants to check it in the future, he will take food to honor Meng Po, and Meng Po will find this person's memory card and insert it into the machine, and then shake the machine's turntable vigorously, and the recorded animation will be played in the Meng Po mirror on the wall.

Back then, after the dream built this village, he set up a large stone door number at the head of the bridge, and named the village "Primitive Tribe", and named the stream "Nai River", and the stone arch bridge on the stream was naturally called "Nai River Bridge".

At that time, Meng's mood was at a low point, he looked at this Naihe Bridge, imagining that in the future, many villagers would come to this bridge to ask Mengpo for Mengpo soup to drink, or begged Mengpo to check his memory card, and sighed in his heart, so he inscribed a poem called "Easy to forget", the content of the poem is like this:

If yesterday is easy to forget,

Why should the water of the Nai River be busy!

How many things does the soup girl want to remember?

The night is longer than the day.

No one knows what kind of state of mind Dream was at that time, and no one can interpret the artistic conception of him writing this poem, only that he liked this poem very much at that time, recited it repeatedly, and later sang it into a song and taught it to Meng Po, and told Meng Po to teach these villagers to sing, which is counted as the cultural inheritance of this village.

Guess that the dream named this stream Naihe at that time, maybe there was a certain intention, Nai River Naihe, helpless, the dream missed his dead mother at that time, this is such a helpless state of mind!

Later, the villagers here sang a lot, and all the villagers could be familiar with it, but everyone remembered this poem and would not forget it!

Dong'er and Xue'er were both listening attentively, and Meng Po suddenly said, "Okay, it's not too early, I'm going to hold a party to celebrate your arrival tonight, I'll take you over now!"

Dong'er and Xue'er followed Meng Po to the village square, which was already nearly dusk and many villagers had gathered in the square.
