In the middle of the new flame square, there is a square pool covering an area of more than one acre, the water in the pool comes from a clear spring on the mountain, the water quality is clear, you can clearly see the colorful rocks and groups of small fish swimming in it, after the allocation of the water inlet and outlet, the water level is always in a state of almost full. And in the middle of the pool is the altar of the holy fire.

The altar of the sacred fire is also located on a huge stone platform like a square island, the whole stone platform occupies more than one-third of the area of the pool, there is a circle of thick wooden pillars on the edge of the stone platform, supporting a large piece of cornices hanging corners, carved beams and painted glazed tile roof, the whole altar is a magnificent atmosphere, a huge pavilion with resplendent gold.

There is also a small stone platform in the middle of the altar, and this stone platform is where the sacred flame is placed. Several clansmen had to carry the heavy sacred flame and place it in the middle of the small stone platform, and then carefully spread the ignition objects, and then arranged a table full of offerings, and then hurriedly withdrew from the pavilion.

The preparations were ready, and outside the pavilion, by the pool, the clansmen once again knelt in a large black oppression. Tang Ge followed the fat witch and stepped on solemn steps to the middle of the altar, and the fat witch personally used the holy flame to ignite the charcoal in the ding.

"The flame has risen! Welcome to the ancestors! ”

With the fat witch's singing and shouting, Tang Ge hurriedly took out the small drum with a penetrating sound quality, and calmly began to play the sacrificial drum.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Boom! Knock knock knock...... Knock knock! Knock knock! Boom! Knock knock knock ......"

The drums are unhurried and melodious. Tang Ge quickly mastered the rhythm, and the unique rhythm of the drums catered to the beating of the heart, as if striking on the souls of the clansmen, resounding from the deepest part of the heart.

The Fat Witch danced again, and then threw the precious offerings on the table into the sacred fire in batches to honor the ancestors. Tang Ge finally understood why the Banpo dolphin was so poor before, if the most precious thing in the tribe had to be burned every time he paid tribute, it would be strange that the Banpo dolphin was not poor before. But for the current Banpo dolphin, they are ruining this thing.

Tang Ge beat the drum while carefully watching the fat witch's sacrificial dance. This is the first time he has carefully observed, and found that every move of the fat witch has a unique charm in it, and there is a mysterious rhythm in his gestures, and there is a different kind of beauty contained in it.

"It turns out that Wu Zhu's dance is not a random dance." Tang Ge suddenly thought in his heart.

The rhythm of the fat witch's witch dance became more and more open, and there were bursts of inexplicable and shouting in his mouth, and every time the fat witch spoke, the clansmen whispered in response, and the solemn atmosphere became stronger and stronger, Tang Ge only felt that his scalp was numb, and goosebumps rose all over his body, and he had unconsciously followed the clansmen's shouts in unison, and completely integrated into this meaningful sacrifice.

After all the sacrifices were burned, and the fat witch prayed for a long time, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up to the east.

Tang Ge subconsciously followed the fat witch's gaze and found that a faint black mist gradually spread from the east, as if it was slow and fast, and in the blink of an eye, the Holy Fire City was shrouded in haze.

"The Ancestors have arrived! Welcome to the ancestors! The fat witch trembled with excitement, prostrate on the ground, and sobbed.

"Welcome to the ancestors!" The clansmen also prostrate on the ground, tears streaming down their faces one by one.

Tang Ge only felt a wave of emotion welling up in his heart, and tears couldn't stop flowing down. This was the second time he had seen this mysterious black fog in this world, and the last time was at last year's Spring Festival. If it had been before, he would definitely have been tempted to figure out the truth of this matter, to see if it was the real ancestor fairy, or the fat witch's tricks, but now, he just wanted to immerse himself in this inexplicable atmosphere, as for the truth of the incident, it was no longer important to him.

Just like he said to the night watchman Lao Liu, the ancestors are kept in the heart, and heaven must also exist, only by firmly believing in this can Tang Ge be strong and survive in this primitive society.

The black fog came and dispersed quickly, and it didn't take much effort to dissipate completely. With the fat witch's "salute", the clansmen got up one after another, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, and then hurried home with a touching and inexplicable mood, ready to experience their new home.

Tang Ge also burst into tears, and with the same inexplicable emotion, he sat quietly in front of the altar of the holy fire for a long time.

At this moment, the memories of the past and present lives emerged one by one, and all kinds of thoughts and worries were fiercely entangled in his mind like poisonous vines, and they could not be calmed down for a long time. Tang Ge's thoughts were like a lonely boat, ups and downs in the ocean of memory. The voices and smiles of relatives, friends and the child who is most concerned about them are vividly in front of them, and even some trivial things that I thought I had forgotten a long time ago also emerged one by one, and everything is related to the love and touching between relatives.

Tang Ge in the previous life was happy. After losing his parents, he got a happy family. There is no intrigue in this family, and there is no deception, all the members of the family respect and love each other, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this big family is very ordinary, nothing more than less trivial quarrels, but only they themselves understand, in that giggling, plain as water, contains the continuous love and affection.

The more happiness and beauty, the more difficult it is to give up, and it also makes Tang Ge, who lives alone and in the primitive society, more lonely and longing.

By the time Tang Ge finally calmed down the torn sense of longing and came back to his senses, the sky was already dark.

The clansmen had already returned one after another, leaving only Tang Ge in a daze, and a big stone with a worried face standing in front of the altar.

The buildings of the entire Holy Flame City were already brightly lit, and the short laughter of the parents could be heard in the distance, which finally pulled Tang Ge back to the world from his complicated thoughts.

"Let's go home, too." Tang Ge said lightly to the big stone.

Big Stone nodded, turned around and walked ahead without saying a word. Tang Ge looked back at the jumping flame again, and said secretly in his heart: "It must be good!" See you in heaven! ”

Tang Ge's home is located under a leafy locust tree, which is also a two-story bluestone black tile with cornices and corners, which is no different from other clansmen.

When I got home, I lit all the candles and lamps in the house, and the house became brighter, and the light through the glass windows reflected the courtyard in a colorful and beautiful way.

"What do you eat at night?" Tang Ge asked Big Stone while rummaging in the kitchen.

"Whatever." Da Shi was still worried about Tang Ge, and his mind was not eating at all.

"'Whatever' is the most annoying answer!" Tang Ge was a little unhappy, but he still began to prepare dinner busily.

Open a folded and bundled animal skin tube, and there is clear mountain spring water flowing. This is a spring found by Tang Ge in the middle of the mountainside, gushing out along the stone cracks, the water quality is sweet and sweet, and it is very good drinking water. So he asked people to renovate this spring, through thick hollow bamboo pipes, to guide the water flow from the mountain to a huge fully enclosed pool at the foot of the mountain, and then through the diversion, the water potential through the pressure of the high pool, can flow smoothly to thousands of households.

Tap water is an invention that transcends the times and can even be said to be ingenious.

This was the peak period of water use, so the water flow was very small, but Tang Ge didn't bother to go to several shared wells to fetch water, so he carried a bucket and let the small water flow slowly fill it.

On your first day in a new home, it's a natural time to celebrate. Da Shi loves to eat rice, so Tang Ge first scooped the rice, and then soaked it in water first. Tang Ge scooped up a lot of rice, far more than the previous amount, and according to his plan, the remaining rice was just enough to make egg fried rice tomorrow morning.

The staple food is there, and the dishes can't be less, usually Tang Ge and Da Shi just make a big pot of dishes and eat, but since they want to celebrate, they must put a few more plates. Tang Ge searched casually in the kitchen, and several hard dishes were available.

The most abundant Banpo dolphins today are still dried meat products of various game, and they are also the most worthless things in the wasteland. Although the dried meat is very ordinary, it is still a rare delicacy if it is well cooked, so a dried bean steamed bacon, three times five divided by two, was prepared by Tang Ge, just wait for the fire to be steamed with rice.

Tang Ge is at the age of growing his body, so he never treats his nutrition badly, so a pot of egg custard is also prepared, and it will be steamed with rice and bacon later, the egg custard is nutritious and delicious, smooth and smooth, and it tastes good when mixed with rice.

There's also a bunch of sun-dried lion's mane mushrooms in the kitchen, which are rare mountain treasures that make a great soup stew. However, the tribe has just completed the migration, and there is no distribution of raw meat, vegetables and fruits, Tang Ge took out an air-dried bird, accompanied by dried bracken, dried mushrooms, fungus, red dates, hazelnuts and other dried fruits, a pot of salty and fresh mountain soup is considered to be alive.

With mountain delicacies, seafood is naturally indispensable. Put the abalone and shrimp in a pot like dried shrimp, and the four dishes and one soup will be alive.

Da Shi is a lazy man at home, if Tang Ge doesn't clean up, the room will be messy for three or two days, and as for cooking, he won't even bother to get water, he will only hold his arms and watch Tang Ge busy. But fortunately, Dashi is never a picky eater, no matter what strange things Tang Ge does, even if it is a pot of fried insects, as long as Tang Ge says that this thing can be eaten, he can swallow it without frowning.

There is an earthen stove in the kitchen, two large pots in the front and a small pot in the back. The fire under the cauldron can be stir-fried and stewed, and the small pot behind can be used to stew rice, steamed vegetables, and steamed steamed buns at the same time, which can be described as saving trouble and effort.
