Chapter 6 The Elder's Words Hang in My Ears
Even though this is the elder's home, it is still quite shabby from the current point of view; After all, there is not much furniture to be placed in the ancient Shu Kingdom, and the most in the house may be bronze. In addition to bronze and some wooden furniture, lacquerware, pottery, etc. The elder also hung a lot of fine silk, or a little grain, sun-dried meat, and even several very expensive sugar canes.
Perhaps in this era when furniture cannot be compared, it can only be compared with family heritage; But the most expensive in this is sugarcane, which was almost the only source of sugar in the pre-Qin period, and was called "Zhe" in ancient times, and the Shu land was not extensive, and more were brought by merchants from other places in the Central Plains, so it was quite expensive.
Tyca loved sugar cane, and once he ate a cake made from sugar cane, he could never forget the taste; It's a pity that his family is too poor, let alone a section of sugarcane, I'm afraid that a fingernail cane cane juice can't afford it.
And the elder's family also has a big tripod that is big enough for two people to surround together! You must know that there are only two statues of this kind of thing in the entire tribe, one in the chief's house and one in the elder's house.
Ding, the important weapon of the country, is a symbol of power. Dayu cast nine tripods imply the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, and the weight of the tripod can be seen. Therefore, even if many people in the tribe have the ability to make tripods, they are not qualified to use tripods.
"Anyway...... What about the people in the house? Elder? Elder! β
Taijia didn't find anyone everywhere, and was about to withdraw, but suddenly heard snoring in Ding, like a thunderbolt; The corners of Taijia's mouth twitched slightly, and he leaned over cautiously.
Sure enough, the elder was sleeping in Ding, and the old bones didn't seem to be panicked.
"The whole tribe can sleep in the ding...... I'm afraid it's only you, Elder! β
It is impossible for the chief to sleep in such a place, after all, the people are young and have good faces; And the elder is very casual, and no one dares to say anything when he sleeps in the ding.
But didn't Gong Chun just say that the elders were looking for me? Why did he turn his head and fall asleep?
After thinking about it for a while, Taijia instantly understood that the elder had already asked Gong Chun to look for him, but the lazy ghost saw that he had just arrived at their door, so he stopped himself by the way.
Although Taijia was bold enough to carry the tribal relics at will, he did not dare to offend the elders. You must know that although the floods have decreased since the turtle spirit, the flood disaster has not stopped for a moment; The most powerful thing about Elder Gong Changqiu is that he can predict disasters such as floods and even earthquakes in advance, reduce losses, and bless the safety of the tribe.
Although Taijia has learned a little from the elders now, he has not yet reached the point where he can ignore the elders.
The elder said that Tygar was "the son of God", and then Tygar confessed that he was the son of God; This kind of title is not available to everyone, so the Taijia is highly respected by the tribesmen, which is why the Taijia is reluctant to offend the elders.
As long as the elder is willing, tomorrow he will be able to say what kind of son of the plague god he is.
In the snoring house, Taijia waited anxiously, if he had a mobile phone, maybe he could still swipe the circle of friends, but now he could only wait.
I don't know how long it took, the sun was shining in the west, and the elder finally stretched his waist and slowly stood up from the ding.
Sleeping in Dingzhong is really pleasant.
It was an old man with an extremely old face, wrinkled as the rings of a tree, and his forehead was so thick that he could hardly see his eyes. The ungroomed beard grew haphazardly, condensed with sweat and salivation, and looked dirty, but in the eyes of the Tygar, it was a sign of holiness.
Elders should not bathe from this great task in order to be able to feel nature more closely, because it is natural for humans to become dirty, and elders must experience this process. The dirtier the elders, the more solemn the tribesmen will be; If the elders have worms on their bodies, the tribe will even have to set fire to celebrate!
Gong Changqiu smashed his mouth, revealing his only remaining teeth, and stared at Tai Jia with a pair of eyes that didn't seem to exist.
Gong Changqiu is nearly 100 years old, and it is a luxury to live to be 40 years old in this era of lack of medical facilities. His son died more than ten years ago, and now he lives with his grandson Gong Chun, and he doesn't seem to know about his grandson's vices outside.
"The elder summonsed, Taijia dare not come!" Taijia said cautiously, although he was called here for dozens of minutes almost every day, and sometimes even for an hour or two, and he had already become familiar with the elders, his attitude was still respectful.
"What? You say the Thai armor is not coming? The elder pricked up his ears and pressed towards the Thai armor as hard as he could.
Taijia knew that the elder was behind his ear, and raised a few decibels: "Elder, Taijia doesn't dare not come!" β
Gong Changqiu grinned and said, "It's good to come, it's good to come." The vicissitudes of the voice were intoxicating, and they climbed out of the ding with the support of the Thai armor.
His eyes were not good, and after looking the Thai armor up and down, he pinched the thick skin of the Thai armor with his withered right hand, and said with a smile: "It's the Thai armor, it's the Thai armor!" β
Gong Changqiu is simple, like a newborn baby.
He led Taijia to the corner of the room and said in a trembling voice: "Taijia, you are a treasure given to our tribe by God, may God bless you and let you bring our tribe to the light!" β
As the clichΓ© goes, every time Taijia is called to the elder's house, the elder will take such a tireless advice; Taijia didn't know how crazy he was at first, but he could only respond. Over time, Taijia had nothing to do, so he had to listen to the elders' nagging, and his ears could be automatically filtered.
There is a saying in the tribe that "the words of the elder hang in the ear", but in Taijia's opinion, it is best to replace the word "scrape", because what the elder said in front of him is all clichΓ©, and his ears are about to become calloused.
But according to what the elder said, he is very likely to be the next elder, so he still has to listen to some nagging.
But this time the elder seemed to have a little more to say. He stroked Taijia's cheek and said: "Your divine power is a treasure given to us by God, and my Di tribe has been ruled by the Shu people for many years, and it should also have its own status!" When you become a warrior of the country, remember to apply to the enlightened king for the land of my Di people! β
The meaning of the elder was that he wanted the Taijia to ask for a share of land from the enlightened king to establish their own state. In the pre-Qin period, this kind of thing was extremely common, just like the Enlightened Dynasty had a vassal state of Tho, and Pakistan had a vassal state of Chongguo.
But this was the first time for Taijia to hear this request, but he was not surprised, but smiled distressedly: "Elder, if you get land, can you ask the enlightened king to build a mound?" β
Whatever it is, the Thagar will be compared to the construction of the barrage, even at the request of the Elders. What's more, although he didn't know what was going on outside Sichuan, he heard that now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, sooner or later he will stretch out his palm to Shuzhong, what way out can the founding of the country be?
"What?" The elder pressed his ear to it again.
Taijia was speechless and said, "I said, I want to repair the ......."
"No! Insisting on building a dam is just adding trouble to the enlightened king! Gong Changqiu instantly turned into a serious face, and it was clear that Taijia hadn't finished speaking.
Gong Changqiu has always believed that the flood is a disaster descended by the gods, because someone has violated the power of heaven, and it is not something that can be stopped by manpower, so why waste money and food?
"If I Insist......"
Before Taijia finished speaking, the elder's expression was suddenly solemn, which was daunting: "Taijia, it's not that I'm unreasonable, if you insist on building a weir, unless I die one day!" If not, then give me a good help to build a tribe! β
Once the interests of the founding of the country were touched, the back of Gong Changqiu's ears seemed to be healed naturally, and he was very excited......
The elder forced each other to die, and Taijia was a little afraid, in case the elder couldn't think about it one day, he would become a sinner of the tribe!
"Then let's wait until you're dead......" Taijia thought silently.
You have to listen to the elder, but you think he's too pedantic, so you can only wait for him to die before making a decision. What's more, he is nearly 100 years old, how many years can he live?
Taijia was going to ask the elder for some things, but the elder directly scolded him back. Obviously, what Taijia said just now made the elder very unhappy.
The current Thai armor has no way out, so it can only find a way to become a warrior of the country first; Whether he wants to build a land or build a country, he must first take this step.
It's just that this goal is still a bit far away, even if he is a god and powerful, it's nonsense to say anything if he is not old enough. Because of the tribal regulations, men are only adults in the thirteenth party, and they are still far away!
Three-year ...... What should I do in the next three years?
"Elder, if it's okay, Taijia will leave......"
Taijia was thinking about it while planning to leave, but was grabbed by Gong Changqiu; Don't look at his weak figure and can't help but feel like the wind, the strength in his hands is really not small!
Taijia was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What else does the elder have to say?" β
Gong Changqiu smiled and said quietly: "My sauce is almost gone, let your mother send some more!" β
