Chapter 38: Award Ceremony
But when one eye opened the mud shell, the whole person was dumbfounded. He touched the shattered pottery shards and felt his heart ache and couldn't breathe.
He felt that his newly-raised hope was dashed in an instant.
Chen Chao saw that One-Eyed was going to grab the broken pottery shard with his hand, so he hurriedly jumped down and grabbed One-eye's hand.
Looking at the tears that gradually fell from one-eyed, this man in his thirties didn't cry when he was abandoned by the tribe, didn't cry when he took the straw sandals, and didn't cry when he knocked on the mud shell, but now he was crying for these broken pottery shards.
Chen Chao couldn't tell what he felt in his heart for a while, he patted One-eyed on the shoulder and comforted, "It's normal for the pottery to be damaged, and even I can't guarantee that it will all succeed." ”
Maybe One-Eye didn't understand, maybe he did. He didn't respond to anything, just silently wiped away his tears and picked up the still intact pottery bowl from the ashes.
It's just that what Chen Chao didn't know was that the one-eyed person who was picking up the pottery pot with his back to him at the moment had already made up his mind in his heart that he must burn a batch of pottery bowls that would not be broken in the future!
Chen Chao counted it, only 10 pottery bowls were broken, and 15 soup spoons were broken, but on the whole, the yield was still very gratifying, and it was not as bad as One-Eye thought.
He looked at the still lost one-eyed next to him, patted him on the shoulder again, raised his thumb, and whispered to the witch standing aside.
Wu turned away and called some idle people to help.
The newly fired pottery was taken to the river to be cleaned, and the old people returned to the cave to bring out the new pottery, this time mainly firing the clay pot.
After Chen Chao signaled that the pottery was mainly in charge of the one-eyed pottery this time, he quietly watched the one-eyed arrange for someone to pick up the dead leaves and small branches, and the wood no longer needed to be picked up.
There is a special tree cutting team in the tribe, they will directly cut the wood into pieces in the same place before carrying it back, and then in the tribe then use a stone axe to chop the small pieces of wood, and you can use it to move it directly.
Looking at One-Eye, although he had suffered some blows just now, he was still in order when he arranged things.
I watched One-Eye carefully arrange the clay pot, measure the distance, stuff the flammable dead leaves and twigs, and watched him live the mud seriously, as if he was making a mud shell like a work of art.
Chen Chao nodded with satisfaction, he is a good seedling to do things.
In fact, he is not afraid that One-Eye will do something wrong, nor is he afraid that he will not do things, but what he is afraid of is that he finally brought out an apprentice, but it was just a small blow, and he collapsed from then on.
It wasn't until One-Eye's last layer of mud was sealed that he saw the witch hand walking towards him with a beautiful animal skin.
Chen Chao pulled up the stunned one-eyed, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for him to squat down slightly.
When One-Eye was wondering, he felt a warmth on his body. Only then did he react, it turned out that the animal skin that Wu had just brought was for him!
Looking at the envious eyes of the surrounding clansmen, One-Eye suddenly stuffed the animal skin into Chen Chao's hand, raised his leg and ran towards the river.
But he looked at his companions who were fetching water around him, gritted his teeth, and ran down the river.
One-eyed ran wildly in front, Chen Chao and the little old man with sheep's horns on his head chased wildly behind, but One-Eye ran too fast to catch up.
In the end, the little old man couldn't run anymore, and waited in place panting with the skin in his hand.
When Chen Chao caught up with One-Eye, he found that the goods were actually bathing in the lower reaches of the river.
Chen???
It's hard to have a more formal awards ceremony, and you, the protagonist, don't take the award well and come to take a shower???
Sitting by the river, waiting for the person in charge of the Tianyuan tribe's pottery burning, Niu Colu, and one-eyed bath, Chen Chao (⊙_⊙) who was thinking about life
When One-Eye came ashore, Chen Chao asked him curiously, "What are you running?" ”
One-Eye smiled shyly and replied, "I'm dirty." ”
Chen Chao had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, since he came to this world, he has always regarded everything that happened as a game, until this moment, he understood that these people are not emotionless data, machines, or even just tool people who help him achieve his goals, they are living, flesh and blood people with feelings!
He thinks he is the master of this world, but in fact, these people are the masters of this world.
The world is changing little by little because of them, because they are happy and joyful, and painful and painful.
Suddenly, a sun rain fell on the whole world, and it quickly dispersed, leaving only a rainbow in the sky.
Walking back to the tribe with one eye, he didn't see Wu all the way, so he shouldn't be able to catch up, so he went back and waited by himself.
After returning to the tribe, Chen Chao asked One-Eye to stand next to the pottery-fired earthen bag, and held a grand and formal award ceremony for him, and Wu read out his merits.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, One-Eyed was clad in a new animal skin as a reward, and on his feet were the straw sandals he had been reluctant to wear, receiving the envious gaze of the entire tribe.
He was a little nervous and dazed, although he had a certain psychological preparation, but suddenly let him be watched by so many people, he still felt very overwhelmed, his hand pinched the new animal skin, but he was reluctant to let the new animal skin be stained by his own sweat. For a while, I didn't know where to put my hand.
One-eyed suddenly bowed to Chen Chao, then to Wu and Yuan, and finally to everyone.
He didn't know how to express gratitude, he didn't know what etiquette was, he just wanted to express his gratitude, the most sincere thanks.
The leader Yuan and Wu were also very happy, and the little old man with a sheep's horn on his head trembled up and helped one-eye up.
The tribesmen looked at the animal skin on One-Eye's body, and although they were very envious that One-Eye was the first person in the tribe to get the animal skin and put on straw sandals, they did not have any jealousy at all.
Because they knew that the clay bowl and soup spoon they had just been given in their hands were fired with one eye.
And they also know that there is still a clay pot burning in the small earthen bag, as long as the clay pot can be burned this time, each of them will be able to get a clay pot! It's all thanks to One-Eye!
Besides, the tribe only harvested so many wolves a few days ago, as well as the lynx before, so many skins, they are not worried that they will not be able to share them! Maybe One-Eye just got a little earlier than them, or just got an extra one!
One-eyed pottery can be burned, what's wrong with taking an extra piece of skin? People are so smart, that's what people deserve!
Looking at the one-eyed man in the middle of the crowd, Chen Chao did not turn sideways, and accepted his thanks frankly.
I just sighed in my heart, 'There must be a square in my new residence!' Let's get a high platform again, otherwise there will be no momentum at all when the next award ceremony is held. ’
