Chapter 45: The Sacrifice

The next day, Tang Ge got up early. In fact, because www.biquge.info of his nervousness, the excited Tang Ge didn't sleep well all night.

There are already a lot of people around the dragon kiln, and these people are not here to see the excitement, but to work.

Under the watchful eyes of the clansmen, the plain pottery was glazed, loaded into a sagger fired in advance, put into the kiln, sealed the door, and lit the fire.

Tang Ge's face was solemn, and he almost didn't say a word during the whole process. The people around him didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear of disturbing the production of the "artifact".

Today, there are only things in the dragon kiln that Tang Ge is preparing to burn, and nothing else is allowed to enter the kiln. This is what Tang Ge applied for in advance. Although there were few things, Tang Ge still stubbornly lit all the fire holes. Heat it slowly first, then heat it up a little bit. Tang Ge carefully observed every step, and did not dare to relax at all.

Qingshan is here, and so is the fat witch. Almost everyone in the tribe came to watch. Tang Ge had no distractions, as if he hadn't seen it, and continued to instruct the kiln burners to pay attention to the work under their hands.

The solemn atmosphere seems to be contagious. Tang Ge didn't make a sound, and neither did the fat witch, and everyone in the tribe who came to watch didn't dare to make a sound. A large group of people silently surrounded a kiln, staring intently at the people who fired the kiln, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressing and solemn.

Until Tang Ge couldn't stand it anymore, he scolded the people around him: "This kiln will be burned for a day and a night, if you have something to do, go away, don't hang around here!" "It's just a batch of scattered people. But most people still choose to stay and continue watching.

No one dared to disturb Tang Ge, because Tang Ge's temper was unusually irritable at this time. Just now, a clansman was scolded by Tang Ge because he had less firewood. Dozens of years old people were scolded by a child pointing at his nose in front of so many people, and the tears of grievance were about to fall, so Tang Ge was still angry, and kicked a few more times. After scolding people, Tang Ge once again patrolled back and forth like a lion inspecting the territory, his eyes were full of murderous energy, staring at the work under everyone's hands, without the slightest relaxation. At this time, Tang Ge was a powder keg, the strings up and down his body were tight, no matter who dared to pluck it, Tang Ge would definitely explode completely.

The onlookers were tired of standing, so they walked far away to find a place to rest. Threes and threes got together in twos and whispered a few words. The content of the topic is naturally inseparable from Tang Ge and what he has to do.

"You say, what is this baby doing when he makes such a big move?"

"I don't know, Fat Wu and Qingshan are quite nervous, but I asked Qingshan, and even Qingshan didn't understand what he was doing. I know that it is also pottery, but this kind of pottery is very expensive. ”

"What's so valuable? There is a bowl made by my family, although it is well done, but it is really impossible to say that it is expensive. ”

"yes, yes, and mine."

A few people whispered, not understanding why their pottery would become valuable through the hands of small stones.

A group of people on the other side discussed Xiao Shi's temper.

"Do you think this baby is crazy?"

"yes, I think so, too. You look at the boy's eyes, fierce, cold, like a beast in the wasteland. ”

"Poor Ah Zheng, this scolding is a shame to the end."

"I think he deserves it. If you say that you will be on fire, you will be on fire, you have to be clever and put less firewood, and you don't look at such a big thing when you are playing. ”

"But the little stone is too ruthless. I don't have any affection at all. I was looking at Ah Zheng, and my tears were about to fall. But this kid doesn't mean to be forgiving at all, but the more he scolds, the more ugly it becomes. ”

"So, is this little stone evil again? The last time the fat witch exorcised him, he didn't know if he had been cleared. ”

"It's hard to say, the fat witch is also there, she didn't speak, she should be fine."

The irascible Tang Ge couldn't hear the clansmen's discussions, in fact, even if he could, he didn't care. At this time, the only thing he cared about was the heat in the dragon kiln.

In fact, with the small fire at the beginning, the kiln heated up little by little, and by this time the fire was raging, and there was nothing to pay attention to later. As long as the firepower is maintained at the maximum. But Tang Ge was still not at ease, he was uneasy in his heart, and he was really relieved about the level of his second knife.

This kiln thing is too important to the tribe, it is directly related to the establishment of the tribe trading team, and it is also related to Tang Ge's future status in the tribe, but the most important thing, and what Tang Ge is most concerned about, is whether the material characteristics of this world are the same as the world in the previous life. The success of firing pottery does not prove anything, but the glazing of pottery is a physical and chemical change. If it succeeds, it means that Tang Ge, the knowledge of the previous life, can be used in this world.

If he didn't succeed, then what Tang Ge knew in his previous life would be useless, and his only advantage in this world would be lost. Once these advantages are lost, he really doesn't know what he should rely on to survive in this world. Tang Ge is not afraid of death, he just wants to use his knowledge to protect those around him.

Although the possibility of different physical properties is very small, Tang Ge still maintains enough vigilance, he has always been a person who plans to act later, all possibilities must be thought out before doing things, and he has always carefully perfected things from the worst plan. He decided that he would stay here before the kiln was opened, staring at every step and not making a mistake.

The fat witch went back, although she pretended to be relaxed, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the fat witch, who had always been calm and calm, was also very nervous at this time.

Qingshan also went back to arrange meals for the people who worked, and then sat down not far from the dragon kiln, carefully watching the every move of the working people, he was also nervous.

The tension is contagious, and for a day and a night, the entire tribe is careful in everything they do, and even the children are strictly ordered by adults not to cry. For fear that a little discordant sound will appear, it will affect the small stone pottery.

The kiln burned for a day and a night, and Tang Ge also kept it for a day and a night, without eating a bite or closing a single eye. When Tang Ge stared at the red eyes and ordered the fire to be extinguished, the tribe, whether they were working or watching the excitement, let out a long breath.

"It's finally over, and it's up to God to succeed or not. In short, Lao Tzu did everything he could. Tang Ge muttered to himself, and Tang Ge, who had relaxed, finally couldn't stay up anymore, so he found a place to fall asleep. I don't think about whether I can succeed or not.

I slept until the afternoon, and when I woke up, I found Honggu guarding my side, and Fat Wu and Qingshan were also waiting not far away.

Honggu handed over a clay pot wrapped in animal skins, and inside was a hot broth. Tang Ge, who was extremely hungry, didn't say a word, and then went into a burst of gobbling. Most of the food in the clay pot, Tang Ge didn't even have a mouthful of soup left, and ate it all.

Honggu lovingly wiped the corners of Tang Ge's mouth, and said softly: "Silly boy, look at what you are tired of." Pay attention to your body, and don't fight so hard next time. ”

Tang Ge nodded, and asked at Qingshan and Fat Wu, "Has the temperature of the furnace cooled down?" ”

Qingshan said: "It's down, and it's ready to open the kiln." ”

Tang Ge said: "Then open the kiln." ”

The fat witch said, "Wait a minute! Let's sacrifice first. ”

Tang Ge was very puzzled, the burn was all burned, at this time, you sacrifice again, there is a bird to use. But seeing Qingshan's approving expression, he decided that it was better to shut up and keep his opinion.

************

There was a big fire burning in front of the shaft kiln.

Behind the fire were several pieces of pottery, which contained all sorts of strange things, one of which was a pot of animal meat. These are offerings.

The fat witch was wrapped in a large piece of animal skin, his face and arms were painted with all kinds of oil paint, he wore a witch crown made of bird feathers and animal bones and jade on his head, and a small drum hung from his waist.

All the clansmen of the tribe sat cross-legged behind the fat witch, their faces were serious and solemn, staring at the fat witch's movements with proud and proud eyes, slapping their thighs and singing to the rhythm of the fat witch.

The monotonous drum sound is round and majestic, and in the neat beating sound, it seems more and more ancient and long-lasting. Tang Ge sat in the middle of the crowd, with the sound of drums and beatings, he felt that the blood in his body was ignited little by little.

The sound of drums sounded like a beat on his heart. The chanting of the fat witch, the echo of the clansmen, and the desolate tone seemed to lead him to the endless wilderness. There was a group of people there, and they fought with the beasts of heaven and earth, and some of them fell, and others got up. No matter how much suffering was experienced, no one admitted defeat. These people are the ancestors of the tribe and the ancestors of mankind.

In the battle of courage and courage, the tribe was slowly born. They multiply, they work hard to produce, they fight against heaven and earth, and they try their best to provide a better environment for their next generation. And so it was, generation after generation, until now.

The suffering never stops, but we grow stronger.

Step by step, the fat witch stepped heavily on the ground. The drums are monotonous and the pace is heavy. But in this monotonous mechanical ceremony, Tang Ge seemed to see one or a group of huge figures standing in front of him. He was watching himself laugh, and they were all laughing. These people are the ancestors, people of the same blood as themselves. He saw that the chests of his people were held high, and their expressions were more and more proud. They are proud of their ancestors and proud of themselves. Pride oneself does not dishonor the glory of one's ancestors.

Tang Ge also puffed up his chest, and at the same time prayed in his heart: No matter what, please bless these kind people, they deserve to be treated kindly. In any case, please bless yourself with the smooth work of what you have to do, so that these innocent people can gain the power of a better life through this.

The fat witch threw the sacrifice into the fire little by little, and let the flames bring the people to worship with devotion. The drums died down, and the ceremony finally came to an end.
