Chapter Ninety-Two: Oracle

When Su Yang got out, sure enough, it was already crowded outside, but he didn't expect everyone to be there, and he was really moved.

"Matsu, Jiang Li, let's get out of here first." He had to let Xiao Xia come out safely, anyway, this place was already known, and he could come over at any time.

When the team withdrew more than a kilometer away, he called Matsu, Jiang Li, and the merchant girl aside, and said loudly: "Look at what is engraved on this bamboo tube?" ”

Matsu watched it first, his expression changed, but he didn't say anything, and then handed it to Jiang Li, who only looked at it for a while, then shook his head and gave it to the merchant girl, and after a while, the merchant girl finally spoke, "This is not the same as Jiuli, it seems to lead the clan to become stronger." ”

Su Yang rubbed his temples, communication barriers have always existed, including in tribal languages, because the language of primitive people is not so rich. It's like being able to know 1 and 2, but if you ask what 1 and 2 are, you may not know it, and you may answer that it is equal to 3, but you will never think that it is 12.

The answer he asked now is equivalent to secondary processing, and it may have deviated, but there is no way, who said that he doesn't know the meaning of the stone carving.

Jiang Li said at this time: "It seems to be saying that the totem is kept, yes, it is talking about the totem." ”

Matsu also spoke, "I'm talking about witches, whoever learns witches will sacrifice totems and strengthen the tribe." ”

Su Yang scratched his head, how did he feel that Matsu was summarizing, "Didn't it say how to learn witches?" "If it's just some nonsense, it's worthless.

All three of them shook their heads, and Matsu said, "Is there anything else in front of this inscription?" This is probably the ancestral land of the wildlings, who have lived here before. ”

"Ahead?" Su Yang suddenly reacted, the ancient writing and reading habits were from right to left, although it was the primitive tribe period, but this inertia would definitely not be wrong. So he thought he had copied the first engraving, but it was probably the last.

At this time, he was faced with a choice, if he told the truth about the situation in the cave, it was likely that the tribe would find a way to fight, and if it was not good, it would be forced to break the cave, although the amount of work was relatively large, it was not impossible. No matter how bad it is, I will send more children in, maybe I can learn something. At least he will be able to copy all the stone carvings inside.

But in this case, isn't it waiting to take away the things of the savages?

Matsu spoke again: "Su Yang, your way of carving the picture on the bamboo is very good, the bamboo is too small, it can be carved on the animal bone, and the fan bone behind it, the turtle shell can also be used." "The fan bone that the old man said is the shoulder blade, and there is a flat triangular bone on the left and right sides of the back, and the pronunciation of the blade and the oracle bone is the same.

Su Yang rubbed his hands, could it be that he accidentally turned on the oracle bone mode, at least before this, he didn't find that the primitive people carved on the beast bones, they were all used as divination and calcining. And from his memory, he knew that the oracle bone script was originally a record of divination and sacrifice.

However, the oracle bone inscription can already be regarded as a text, and now the primitive man still uses symbols, which in his opinion is messy and disorderly graffiti, but the primitive man himself can understand it.

Matsu seemed to be inspired, and Jiang Li was also very moved, and the two of them went to find the beast bones together. In fact, when I burned the turtle shell before, I had to draw a few strokes on it, but it was not to the extent that the carving was preserved, so even if there was no Su Yang, it was estimated that it would not be long before the carving was transferred to the animal bones.

Compared with the wall carvings, animal bones are more convenient and easy to take away, otherwise once they migrate, the previous records will be broken.

Su Yang held the bamboo tube, for him, the oracle bone was too advanced to play. But the bamboo slips can try to get it, anyway, there is already a hemp rope, it takes a little time to make the bamboo slips, but there is a gap in the middle of the bamboo slips, and it is good to write vertically, but it is more troublesome to copy the larger engravings.

This requires a brush and ink, the brush is easy to get, rabbit hair, wolf hair, all kinds of animal hair can be obtained, bamboo is also ready-made, and resin can also be used to bond. It's a bit troublesome about ink, he really doesn't know how to make ink, but it's not very difficult to solve the color problem, because there are a lot of fruit juices that can't be eaten, and they come with their own colors.

"Su Yang, you haven't said anything yet, what's in the cave?" The merchant girl asked.

"There are a lot of murals in it, Xiao Xia probably wants to know what was drawn, but I can't understand it, so I thought of painting it and letting everyone interpret it." Just tell the merchant girl, and he will not have a burden in his heart.

"In this case, then you find more animal bones to draw, and we will recognize them together, and then you are telling the little savage."

Of course, this proposal is good, but Su Yang feels that it is better to wait, if Xiao Xia can't solve the problem by himself, he is asking the clansmen to help. Of course, he will copy all the murals in advance, but unfortunately this time is not good, it will be snowing, it is inconvenient to travel, and it is even more difficult to communicate.

After thinking about it for a while, he still went to call Matsu over, told the truth about the situation in the cave, and speculated that it might be the inheritance of the savages, and understood the meaning of the mural, maybe he could become a wizard.

Matsu smiled: "It is too difficult to become a witch, you must have a witch teaching, word of mouth, and it will take ten years to learn to become a witch." The cave paintings you are talking about should be left by the ancestors of the savages. Then go and carve out the stone carvings on the stone platform, and show me alone. ”

"Okay, I want to go now, and when you're done hunting, just pick me up." He suddenly felt that he had thought too much before, even if those murals really had any secrets, Matsu would not spread them, and the knowledge of this period was only in the hands of a few people, just like pottery, and men of the same clan were not qualified to watch it.

He chose to stay because he really didn't have time, and he might not be able to come here in winter, not to mention that hunting would not help him, so it would be safer to stay here.

It's too late to find so many animal bones, and it's not realistic to use stone slabs or anything, and I can't find a suitable one in a short time. I had no choice but to continue to use bamboo, so I asked everyone to hand in the bamboo tube and some food.

The merchant girl originally wanted to take a few people to guard outside the cave, but Su Yang refused, it was nothing during the day, and it was not safe here at night, but a few people were afraid that they would not be able to withstand the attack of fierce beasts, and if there were many people, it would affect the hunting, after all, this was related to the rations of the tribe in winter, and it was not allowed to be sloppy.

In the end, Matsu set a time, and came to pick him up at about this hour tomorrow, and tonight Su Yang will spend the night here alone, which is also a kind of experience for him, thinking about the previous spring to survive alone in the wild for half a month, and the merchant girl spent a long time alone.

It's true that humans are social animals, but you also have to learn how to survive when you're alone. He doesn't call it survival, he has food and drink, and he is very safe, so there is really nothing to worry about.

Things are ready, and when he goes into the small cave again, the little wild man is gone, and it seems that he has gone back with a bamboo tube, and I am afraid that he will not come again today.

Subsequently, it took him three times to send the supplies in, a large number of bamboo tubes, a small amount of food, enough firewood, and a long wooden stick, mainly to climb up when the time comes, otherwise he will not be able to climb the entrance of the cave after entering, but it will be a real tragedy, the greatness of life, and the aggrieved death.

As well as his leopard skin clothes, it will not be cold to sleep wrapped at night.

"Alright, let's get started!" He came to the stone platform again, and did not start immediately, but watched carefully, hoping to see some clues.
