Chapter Seventy-Two: Wall Carvings
"But where are we staying?" The three elders gradually calmed down.
Su Yang replied in a firm tone: "Living in a house, a house of stone, mud, or wood is fine. The Chao tribe is the descendants of Jiuli, and the Mang tribe is the people of the Dongyi Shenlong clan, their own clan has been relocated from the cave, with them, we can build our own houses, which is definitely more comfortable than living in the cave. With so many of us, we don't have to worry about safety at all. ”
"In this case, then we are relieved. Sue, where are you going to migrate? Again, the elders asked, this is also a crucial question.
Su Yang didn't use exaggerated words this time, and replied sincerely: "It's not decided yet, I'll choose a few places this time, and the elders of the four tribes will discuss it together before winter." ”
To put it nicely, it is a discussion, but in fact, it can be decided that the four tribes add up to ten elders, and the rock accounts for five, and the number of elders will not increase, so he only needs to convince Matsu, and everything will be fine.
"Okay, just do what you say Su Yang." The more Elder Heavenly Wolf looked at Su Yang, the more he regretted that he had exchanged the Rong family in the first place, what a good child, how could it become someone else's. But now that the tribes have formed an alliance, they will also be their own people in the future.
"Sue, you live here today, and I'll let the warriors go out hunting."
The elders said that they would keep him behind, and he also wanted to communicate with the people of the Heavenly Wolf, so he agreed to stay overnight.
But the environment of the wolf tribe is too bad, just two caves, one large and one small, there are people living on both sides, it's just to experience life, and when there is a house, this kind of day is gone.
The wolf also has a clay pot, which was exchanged from Su Yang's hand, in order to brush up his favorability, he gave some salt and a few pottery in friendship, which immediately won the cheers of the wolf clan, many of them didn't know Su Yang before, but now they all understand that it is their own people.
And Su Yang didn't suffer a loss, according to the current law of bartering, it is unreasonable to give away, so the elders took a good thing to him, it was a well-polished horn ornament, which looked like it was some years old, with a circle of lines, light cyan, really beautiful, and now that it was worn on his head, some elders would also stick feathers on the horn ornaments, or smear color lines on their faces.
"Come over here, take a look here." The merchant girl suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Su Yang walked over suspiciously, it was very safe in the Heavenly Wolf Tribe, what did he find?
When he passed, he saw the merchant girl looking at the stone carvings, these traces had been seen before, nothing special, all tribes had them, and there were also in the caves of the rock tribes. He himself painted a lot of things on the cave walls, and also left a "crooked" figure in the bazaar.
Unexpectedly, the merchant girl pointed to the wall and said, "I have also seen this kind of in Jiuli. ”
"Jiuli, isn't it?" Su Yang hurriedly asked the merchant girl to pick him up, but there was no way to see clearly. Is this situation considered the original way of opening a child bride?
He carefully looked at the traces on the wall, but he didn't see the reason, and suddenly thought that even adults would answer some modern kindergarten questions incorrectly, because the adult's mind was polluted and he couldn't see the essence clearly, and his current situation was similar.
The merchant girl hugged him like this and said, "It seems to say that it was very cold that winter. ”
Okay, forgive Su Yang for really not understanding, but he will find a way, so he hurriedly called the people of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe to ask, and finally called the elder, anyway, there are only two caves, and he will come over after walking a few steps.
"Su, these are left by our Heavenly Wolf ancestors, and our Heavenly Wolf used to be a big tribe......" The elder pointed to the wall carving and explained some information.
The above records are basically trivial matters of life, but the merchant girl said that this way of recording is similar to Jiuli, but Elder Tianluo said that they have nothing to do with Jiuli and have never been to Jiuli.
Forget it, no matter how much, Su Yang is not very interested in these, all he has in his mind are modern words, and the gap between civilizations is too big to communicate in this regard.
Regarding modern simplified characters, in terms of font alone, it is not just good-looking, but it is simplified for the sake of popularization. And in the process, there are super simplified characters, which are extremely ugly, and the strokes are omitted to the point of outrageousness, and finally stopped.
He felt that if he taught simplified Chinese characters to primitive people now, he would probably be committing a crime, and he would directly and violently destroy the process of the evolution of writing. For example, if modern primary school students are asked to type with technological products, it is estimated that they will not even be able to write when they grow up.
Therefore, if he were to take power one day, it is estimated that he would invest a lot of manpower and material resources to accelerate the creation of writing by primitive man himself, rather than teaching him. Maybe he'll have to learn the other way around.
Ahem, he didn't care about the wall carvings, but the merchant girl and the elder chatted vigorously, and there was nothing for him to do at all.
Su Yang didn't go to do anything else, just two caves, the area outside the cave is not large, there is really nothing fun, and he doesn't want to grab the rattan and climb down the upright cliff, so just stand here and listen.
"Elder, it says that there was a big war one year, and we in Jiuli also have such a thing." The merchant girl frowned, very puzzled.
Elder Sky Wolf was also surprised, "That's weird. ”
In the end, Su Yang guessed that the Heavenly Wolf Elder was indeed not bragging, maybe the Heavenly Wolf Tribe was very powerful before, and it was ruined and fled here, who can tell the ancient things clearly.
"The warriors are back." I don't know who roared, and finally ended the discussion of the wall carvings here.
Su Yang also hurriedly shouted: "Let's go, go and see how the harvest is." He asked Prabhu to take a few men out hunting, mainly because he was embarrassed to eat ready-made, for the wolf was much poorer than the rock.
The warriors hunted a stag to feed everyone, and the antlers were also a good thing to trade in the bazaar and use for their skins.
If you want to eat meat and sacrifice first, there is also a bonfire party here, which is carried out directly in the cave, fortunately the inside is big enough and empty, and air circulation is not a problem.
"Thank you, God, for giving us food." Elder Sky Wolf held his hands on either side like holding lotus flowers, at shoulder level, and prayed to the stag.
Everyone else stood behind the elder, and this face was slightly different from the rock, only to see the Elder Celestial Wolf suddenly bend down, put his ear next to the deer's beak, and after a short while, stood up and said, "The gods have agreed for us to eat it, thank the gods for their protection." ”
Then the Elder Sky Wolf led everyone to bow down to this stag, and the reason for this was because the Sky Wolf tribe would regard the beasts they hunted as the incarnation of the gods, and they could only eat them with the permission of the gods. Finally, the internal organs of the prey are wrapped up and tied to the top of the tree.
"We Jiuli used to sacrifice like this, and then we sacrificed totems." The merchant girl whispered.
Su Yang nodded, what he knew at the moment that each tribe would carry out similar sacrifices, and "heavenly god" was also the meaning he understood, and the original pronunciation was rather awkward, which was probably the meaning of God. Listening to the meaning of the merchant girl, the people of Jiuli have transferred their belief in the gods to the tribal totem.
"Why don't he draw a dragon out in advance and use it as a totem later?" As soon as this idea came out, he was worried that it would be similar to the totem of the Dongyi Dragon Clan, and when the time came, who would be the authentic?
