Chapter Seventy-Four: The Giants (1)
The old ghost saw that everyone really didn't believe what he said, and in the end, he could only say helplessly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the big one!" ”
As soon as the old ghost said this, the eyes of the rest of us all looked towards the big one.
The big man was stared at like this by five people all of a sudden, obviously he didn't expect it. Judging from his expression, he looked a little cramped. But seeing that we were all waiting for him to give his professional opinion, he had to stammer: "This is ...... The meat of snow and snow monsters is ...... You can eat it! ”
The old ghost saw that the big man gave him the answer he wanted, so he followed the trend and said to us, "Well, even the big man said that you can eat it." What other concerns do you have? If you don't believe me, you should believe this professional, right? ”
Everyone unified the opinions of the old ghost and the big man, and there was nothing to say. However, not having something to say does not mean approval. In fact, a few of us are still skeptical about this.
At this time, I couldn't help muttering: "Even if you can eat it, the meat of this giant clan may not be delicious." It's like fish is to whales! ”
"Fish meat versus whale meat?" When the old ghost heard me say this, he pondered.
"Yes! Isn't it said that whale meat is old? I took advantage of the fire to add, "I believe that the meat of this giant will not be delicious, right?" ”
The old ghost nodded, and then asked me again, "Giants?" Is there such a nation? What kind of kind is he? Can you tell me more about it? ”
I didn't think about it, so I agreed, saying, "In the legends of the peoples of the world, giants are almost an indispensable and important role. He is also the creator of the mythical world, the oldest race in Norse mythology.
Almost all of the gods have the blood of the Giants, they are not highly intelligent, but they are loyal. They are clumsy in their movements, but they are mighty. The Giants are sparsely populated, but they can be ten with one.
The tall physique and hard movements give the trust of the comrades and make the enemy terrifying.
The giants are the best warriors, and they believe that strength can solve a qiē. In their eyes, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated, and there is no wall that cannot be destroyed.
At the same time, in their dictionary, there is no retreat, no hopelessness, no depression, not thinking that they are optimistic, but that they are naturally strong.
From the Cyclops encountered by the hero Odysseus on an island in the Greek myth "Odyssey"; Jack's Pea and the Giant in Grimm's fairy tales; All the way up to the "Great Kingdom" in "Gulliver's Travels", many stories describe the life of giants.
After the 18th century, with the development of anthropological research, such legends gradually disappeared.
However, some recent archaeological discoveries about giants have led to a rethinking: Is the "Legend of the Giant" just a legend?
In the legends of the peoples of the world, giants are almost indispensable and important: Greek mythology mentions the story of heroes fighting cyclops.
Chiyou, who fought with the Yellow Emperor in China, is several feet tall; The Indians are said to have been at war with the red-haired giants.
The bed in Chapter 5 of the Old Testament of the Bible is 9 (equivalent to 5 meters) long and 4 (equivalent to 2.2 meters) wide.
Gulliver's Travels is one of the stories of modern Western giants. (To be continued......)
