Chapter 12: The Shattered Star Forest

The early morning sun looms behind the thin clouds, and the drizzle ripples in the air with a clear gauze curtain, which wraps around the continuous broken star mountain, permeated in the emerald green pine forest, the distant mountains are ethereal, the nearby mountains and forests are as beautiful as washing, and even the sprayed drizzle is wrapped in a clear that can baptize the soul, making people feel refreshed from the inside out!

Tang Ba closed her eyes and enjoyed a rare leisure, this was the first rain she had since she came to this world, warm and soft, it was really called the season of warm water.

The constant exclamations in his ears made Tang Ba open his eyes.

Jhamma was picking up layers of bark until the brown veins were exposed and crystal droplets of water oozed from them, and then Jhamma cut along the brown lines with a stone knife, and the original watery liquid gradually became thicker, and the yellow clear flowed down the resin channel like honey.

"Ah Tang. Jhamma shouted.

"Hey!" said Donba, standing on tiptoe and handing the jar he was holding in his arms to Jhamma.

One side of the jar has a thin wall, which is just right to connect the resin, which is what the Hisha people call tree water. When a jar of water is filled with water and sent from the kanga to the buffer zone between the pine forest and the tribe, the slaves here will filter out the pine needles, bark and other debris with a leather net, and then pour it into molds one by one to roast it, and after a while, it will be transformed into vessels of different shapes.

When she first saw these, it was hard for Tang Ba to believe that the bowls, plates and other containers she usually used were actually made directly from pine resin, and the pine resin she knew had to be processed before to become industrial raw materials, maybe the pine resin here was not the same principle as what she knew before, maybe it was because of the materials added to the mold during the baking process, but it was unknown what Tang Ba was added exactly, and the patriarch stood there to supervise the work, so she had to hide behind the tree and observe from afar.

Collecting water is as collective work as farming, which makes the children, who rarely go into the forest, bloom and jump up and down in the forest, but the children are not idle, they pick the roots of each tree to see if there is any edible flesh.

When Damba finally finds her first piece of tree flesh with the help of Ami with a curious heart, Damba is speechless, but he is very happy, it is a mushroom!

"Ah Tang-" Ah Mi waved at Tang Ba excitedly and shouted, "Come here, there is still something here!"

"It's coming. As soon as Damba arrived, Ami hung her little leather bag around her neck, and then looked back at the top of the tree.

Tang Ba immediately became nervous when he saw this posture, "What are you going to do?"

Ami grinned at her, and before Tang Ba's word "don't" came out, Ami had already jumped up the tree, and like a monkey, she climbed to the branch and beckoned to Tang Ba under the tree: "Come up!"

Tang Ba looked at the sky speechlessly, she would always reflexively carry out the instinct of the kindergarten teacher, often ignoring that the world she is in now is different from the past, the children here are born precocious, and they begin to take on the responsibility of making ends meet at a young age, and they also know how to survive, which Tang Ba does not have.

"Come up!" Ami on the tree kept calling, Tang Ba was a little eager to try, took off the small leather bag and followed Ami's appearance while rubbing her hands back, she knows the language here, maybe she can climb the tree, but she hasn't dug it out before.

Tang Ba, who was full of hope, rushed to the trunk of the tree with an arrow step, jumped up easily and kicked the main trunk and jumped up, but his hand was a slow beat, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.

"Ah Tang-" Ah Mi was really startled, and quickly climbed down the tree, "Are you okay?"

Tang Ba smiled bitterly and shook his head, fantasy can't become reality after all.

Ami pulled up the damba, "Come again, I used to fall off a lot." ”

"Let's go find the flesh. "Tang Ba's excitement was also dissipated by this fall, anyway, it's useless, it's better to spend more time to make ends meet!

Eat!

Tang Ba looked up at the tall and straight pine tree and asked, "Ami, is there any fruit on it?"

"Fruit? Ami replied very simply.

How could it not be?! Tang Ba suspected that the name was wrong.

She found a relatively flat ground and picked up a branch and drew the shape of the pine tower on the soil, Ami squatted quietly on the side, from confusion to understanding to surprise on her face without disguise, Tang Ba knew that there was definitely such a thing as a pine tower.

However, the feedback Ami gave her was unexpected.

Ami tightly tugged at Tang Ba's leather skirt, and the painting on the ground with the other finger kept shaking, "Ah Tang, Ah Tang, it's actually on the ground, you got the child of the tree to the ground, it's so powerful, I want it too, I want it too." ”

It was hard for Tang Ba to imagine how much impact these ordinary things had on the children living in the tribe, she was just a little distressed, in the original world, children as old as Ami were still in school, spoiling their parents, where did they have to work to fill their stomachs.

Tang Ba protected his leather skirt and pulled Ami to squat down again, first taught Ami to draw simple figures, and then used the shapes to combine them to form a pine tower. Tang Ba found that the children here have a very strong desire for knowledge, but they are limited by the conditions, otherwise they will not be worse than the children in the previous world.

Ami was speechless for a long time as she looked at her paintings, which she thought was incredible, and she realized that she seemed to be able to draw more things.

"This pine, this tree child...... Can you eat it?" After asking this, Tang Ba was full of helplessness, how could he feel that he was very cruel, and he still had a deep sense of guilt.

"It's not tasty. Ami replied absentmindedly, "Don't eat it, it's not delicious." ”

Just be sure that there is, Tang Ba thought, since this is the case, it is necessary to learn to climb trees in the future.

Tang Ba was a little amused when he saw Ami's appearance, "It would look better if you fill in the color." ”

Ami raised her head and looked at Tang Ba in confusion, "Yan ...... What is color?"

Damba pointed to the land, "Black." Turning to the tree, "Green." Then he pointed to the sky, "Blue, these are all called colors, add these colors to the painting, do you think what will happen?"

Thank you that the color of this world is the same as the original world, otherwise Tang Ba really doesn't know how to teach Ami!

"It's beautiful. Ami blinked her watery eyes and looked at Damba expectantly.

Tang Ba regretted it and nodded slightly, "I don't have a color, I'll figure it out." ”

"That's good. "Color is very far away for Ami.

The sound of laughter in the distance made Ami's smile freeze instantly, and she glanced back vigilantly, and saw that several clansmen and children were running towards this side, and immediately erased the painting she had just made, and pulled Tang Ba to pick up the tree flesh. Waiting for the children to run away from each other, Ami stood up and looked at the ground that had been painted by herself.

Tang Ba looked at Ami with a complicated expression, and opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say.

"Ah Tang......" Ah Mi's voice was very soft, but very solemn, "You are different from other clansmen, you will know a lot of things, people in the clan will not, in Xixia Ah Tang will be dangerous like this, Ah Tang believes in me to teach me, but I can't learn in the future, I can't do it, it will be dangerous to be seen by the clansmen, Ah Tang will also die, Ah Tang must be well." ”

Tang Ba was stunned.

How could I have gained such a sincere friendship, which has never been received in the previous world, and it is also given by a child!

Tang Ba hugged Ami, the gratitude and sourness in his heart coexisted, and he couldn't distinguish the taste.

I'll find a safe way to teach you how to draw and save it, and I'll teach you how to read, and I'll teach you more, and we'll have a long way to go, and we'll be able to do it!
