Chapter 5: A Letter to Heaven

Seeing that the fat witch's ritual was over, Da Shi hurriedly rushed up to help Tang Ge untie the rope. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it will be estimated that no one is willing to stretch out this hand except for the big stone. Tang Ge moved his hands and feet and stood up without saying a word.

There had just been a rainstorm, and the ravines were flat everywhere. Not far in front of the tribe was a stream of rainwater. The creek is not big, only one or two meters wide, usually there is no water, it is a stone ditch, and now the rainwater gathers into a river, and the water flow is quite turbulent.

Tang Ge endured vomiting, jumped into the stream naked, buried his whole body in the water, let the turbulent and turbid stream wash his body, and let the stream wash away for a long time before Tang Ge dared to start gasping for breath. Tang Ge climbed out of the stream, rolled in the mud a few times, rolled all over the mud, and then jumped into the stream, scrubbing the mud off his body with a ball of grass. There is no soap in this world, and it can only be made like this. The big stone followed Tang Ge all the time, and also jumped into the water to wash it, and then sat by the stream and watched Tang Ge say nothing.

After rolling in the mud three times and scrubbing it three times, Tang Ge still felt a smell. Touching his long hair, he said to the big stone, "Get me a knife." Dashi hurriedly pulled out a knife from his waist and handed it over. Tang Ge took it and took a look, it was more appropriate to say that this knife was a dagger. Gray-black stone is made, even with the handle of the knife is about forty centimeters, the stone has a layer of texture, the edge of the blade is also sharp, but it looks pitted.

Grabbing a lock of his hair in one hand, he held a knife in the other hand and cut it against his scalp. The stone knife looked sharp, but it didn't seem to be enough to deal with the hair, and it took several cuts to cut off the lock of hair, and many of them were pulled out instead of being cut off. The big stone understood what Tang Ge was going to do at a glance, so he jumped down the stream and took the stone knife, and said to Tang Ge, "I'll come." "The big stone technique is very gentle, maybe Tang Ge's method of using the knife is wrong, and the big stone cuts his hair much more smoothly.

With a dog gnawing on the same messy hair, Tang Ge went to the mud twice more, washed until he was trembling all over, and his lips were purple, before he climbed out of the stream. The big stone actually thoughtfully brought Tang Ge a piece of animal skin, the size of which was just right around his waist. It seems that Dashi also knows that his son has changed differently than before.

When the two returned home, the big stone quickly lit a fire. After roasting the fire for a long time, Tang Ge, who was trembling, felt better. Glancing outside the cave, it was already evening. The clouds were gone, and the sky was as blue as a wash, and it was indeed just washed by the heavy rain. The crushed birds began to return to their nests, burrowing into the big trees of the tribe and chattering in a mess.

Da Shi took out a piece of meat wrapped in big leaves, put it on the fire and roasted it slowly, Tang Ge didn't speak, and Da Shi didn't speak. The atmosphere in the cave was very dreary.

After the meat was roasted, Da Shi handed the meat to Tang Ge: "Eat a little." Tang Ge shook his head. After that scene in the afternoon, where did he still have the appetite to eat. Seeing that Tang Ge didn't eat, Da Shi lost his appetite. With a long sigh, he wrapped the roasted meat in leaves again. He lit a mosquito coil and lay down on his bed.

The so-called bed is just a pile of hay spread on the ground. Originally, there was only one bed in this family, but Tang Ge was very resistant to sleeping next to another man, so he curled up on a hide by himself from the first night. Seeing this, the big stone made another bed the next day. The straw on the floor was dry and thick. It was also padded with a soft animal skin. Tang Ge slept on this bed.

The big rock tossed and turned on the bed, sighing and not falling asleep. Tang Ge also lay on the bed thinking about today's events. "Careless! Based on my performance in the past few days, today's scene is really not a disaster. But I was going to live well for the little stone, who knew that I would encounter such a stubble. ”

"Damn the Fat Witch! Take Lao Tzu to do such a disgusting test! I'm not done with you! ”

After identifying his first enemy in the primitive society, he turned over, and Tang Ge said to himself again: "Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, you can't come by temperament in the future." Son, Dad misses you so much, don't forget me. Little stone, I will be you from now on, and you will be in heaven to see how I can live with your body. That's not right, it's the two of us now. Since this life belongs to the two of us, your father has also become my father. Don't worry, I'll take good care of the big rock. It's just that this is a goddamn primitive society, what should I do to make Big Stone and me live better? ”

Thinking of his future life, Tang Ge was very troubled. In this primitive world where there is nothing to do, it is definitely not easy to live as a person. I don't know how old people here will live. Thinking of this, Tang Ge suddenly realized a very serious question, so he asked the big stone opposite, "Big stone, how old am I?" Since the combination of Tang Ge and Xiao Shi's memories, Tang Ge has never called Da Shi "Dad", just called him by his name. Big Stone didn't look disgusted by this.

Hearing Tang Ge speak, he sat up with a big stone and got up to take off a rope from the wall. Lifting the rope high, he stared at the rope for a while as if he was distressed before saying to Tang Ge: "Since you were born, every winter, I have tied a knot in this rope. ”

Tang Ge counted it, and there were nine knots in total. "I'm nine years old." Tang Ge muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Dashi looked at the rope again, and re-hung the rope in confusion.

Tang Ge asked again, "Big Stone, what about you?" How old is it? ”

The big stone pulled a lock of hair fiercely, and seemed to be even more distressed. After thinking for a long time, he stretched out his hands, and then turned them over again. Tang Ge knew that this represented twenty. Then the big stone withdrew both hands, and began to break his fingers, one, two, three, shook his head fiercely, and began to break again, this time with five fingers, and shook his head fiercely and began to count again.

Tang Ge was very surprised, and asked Da Shi, "You don't know how to count?" ”

Big Stone's face turned red all at once, as if someone had discovered some great secret. He argued: "I only hunt, I don't need to count."

Tang Ge smiled, he didn't expect that the most powerful hunter in the tribe didn't know how to count, this was big news. No wonder I searched all the memories of the small stone and didn't know his age, it turned out that the big stone didn't know at all!

Seeing Tang Ge start laughing, Da Shi also breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time my son had been seen smiling since he fell from a tree. Tang Ge stood up, took out an unburned wooden stick from the fire, and began to write on a piece of animal skin.

He felt that he should make a summary of his previous life and say goodbye.

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

To the heaviest color of my life:

Brothers, sisters! All my relatives!!

I'm sorry I'm no longer away from you. Before I knew it, you had been with me for more than 30 summers and winters. In these more than thirty cold and summer, I have received all the happiness and sweetness in this world in you.

Since the moment I was born, our lives have been destined to intersect and render each other. I can't change that, and I never want to. Forever.

I have never told you that you are the most important component of my life, the most precious spiritual treasure. But now, I will never have the opportunity to say these things to you.

It seems like we were joking with each other yesterday, but today I'm dead. Looking back on the past, I always have your figure with me. All my growth, all my memories, all my everything, have your shadow in it.

I can't remember your birthdays, but I know your habits. Or my mentor or friend, or my teenage playmate. The stupid things we did together, the New Year's dinner we ate together. The liveliness of relatives, unscrupulous jokes, the discipline of elders, and the coquettishness of juniors. It seems that there is nothing else in my memory but you. I always tell people that I have a big family, a happy big family. When I said this, I was rightly confident, and my face was full of confidence and pride. With your backing, I must be proud.

In fact, I have always wanted to talk about the good of each of you in detail, but it is inevitable that one will be biased and some people will care. And I think it's better to keep it in your heart than to say it. It seems that we are not good at expressing ourselves, but our hearts are firmly on it. On the surface, they are independent, but in fact they support each other. Maybe we don't talk much in ordinary times, but whenever we are together, the kind of family affection that is so strong that it is almost substantial, really makes me feel that this is the most stable, precious, safest material, and happiest harbor in the world. This indescribable happiness has also brought countless blessings to my life.

But now, I don't have a chance to say it. I was so stupid in the past, and that little bit of face that couldn't be erased was more important than you. It's too late to regret it.

In short, thank you for the touching and happiness you have given me. Life stumbles, but I am clumsy, always with your support all the way, I can have a strong soul, to face all the unknown difficulties. I always feel that life is like an endless jungle adventure, no matter how much preparation you have made and how many difficulties you have overcome, there are countless trivialities and thorny vines in front of you. But as long as you are here, I can be fearless and move forward.

We Chinese are indeed clumsy in words and good at deeds. There are some things that I thought I wouldn't be able to say anyway. For example: I love you! It's not because you have brought so many possibilities to my life that I have to rely on. The warmth of the big family alone is worthy of my unwavering love for you for a lifetime.

Now, I regret it. I regret that I didn't tell you these words in person, and I regret that I didn't accompany you much. Now, as on the other side today, I can only miss you in another world.

The world is impermanent, but family affection is always there. With you by your side, there are no regrets in this life.

May this letter reach Heaven. May you be happy in heaven. Please wait for me in heaven as well. I believe that we will be able to meet again!

Tang Ge Respectfully

***********

With tears in his eyes, Tang Ge finished writing the letter, carefully burned it in the fire, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this letter would reach heaven. "If they go to heaven and they are not there, they will be in a hurry." Tang Ge thought silently.

Da Shi quietly watched Tang Ge do all this, and did not come forward to disturb. He didn't understand what Tang Ge was doing, but he could feel that all this was important to Tang Ge. He could feel that his children were indeed different from before.

After doing all this, Tang Ge threw away the wooden stick, wiped away his tears, clapped his hands clean, turned back to the big stone and said, "Sleep." Then he lay down on his bed and said no more.

"Just because you start a new life doesn't mean you can forget the past. No matter what, I'll keep you in my heart. Starting tomorrow, I will cherish this amazing second life. I believe that with the experience of my first life, I will definitely be able to live a more wonderful life in this life. Tang Ge thought.

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

Before going to bed, he carefully examined the memory of the little stone. I was sure that I was indeed in a primitive society. The people here lived by hunter-gatherer trade, and they were not afraid of hunger but of disease. All of them live in caves, and there are some grass huts in the tribe, but they are all slaves with no status.

The location of the tribe is a small dirt mountain, and the caves are all excavated on the earth mountain, and the average family lives in a cave of more than ten square meters. Families with large populations will open a side room, or dig another one when the children are older. The cave where the fat witch lives is connected by several rooms.

The small earth mountain where the tribe is located runs north-south, long from north to south, and narrow from east to west. However, everyone's caves are crowded on the narrow sunny side of the south, and although there are caves on the east and west sides, no one lives except for slaves, and without the permission of the tribe, slaves cannot live in the caves even if they freeze to death.

There is a hill next to the south of the mountain, and the hill is a stone mountain, which is the one where Tang Ge scolds the sky on the top of the mountain. Many of the tribe's stone tools were polished from stones collected from small hills. Ru Mao drinks blood, which is a true portrayal of tribal life.

How can you make yourself comfortable in this environment? Tang Ge pondered bitterly.

Unconsciously, Tang Ge fell asleep. In the dream, he returned home, and the figures of his family appeared around him one by one. Tang Ge played with them, laughed and scolded, everything in the dream was so happy and peaceful, Tang Ge felt that this kind of life was very perfect.
