The rain washed over the land. ~Top Novel, x.

With the arrival of the rainy season, among the big rivers, those huge river overlords are carrying out an annual migration.

In the river, in the invisible places, there are many aquatic creatures, doing similar behaviors to these river overlords.

Compared to the bustle in the river, the Yanjiao tribe seemed much quieter. With the exception of a few guards assigned to various locations, most stayed at home.

A bug that came out of nowhere, moving its countless claws, crawled quickly into the house.

Syllable!

A wolf's claw slammed into it, flattening the worm that was about to enter the house.

Caesar lay in the room, and he almost filled the hall with his head, like a doorman, and if he wanted to climb into the house, he would immediately shoot to death.

Lao Ke stood in the room where he usually polished stoneware, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, with hope in his eyes.

Behind him, wooden boxes that had already been packed were placed there, and in the corners of the room, there were some old stone boxes and stone boxes of different sizes, but none of them could be taken away.

"It's coming, it's coming......"

In the tribe, there are many people like Lao Ke, and they have already packed the things at home, because the space is limited, and there are restrictions on what everyone can bring, and those who want to bring more must be reported and allowed to do so, otherwise, when the time comes, they will throw it directly, if anyone is really reluctant to give up the things at home, then he will stay here with those things.

At the top of the mountain, Shao Xuan watched Wu standing by the fire, reading something.

During this time, Wu would come here every day.

Wu said that it is a ritual, a farewell ceremony. As soon as the rainy season ends, the tribe will leave the place where it has lived for nearly a thousand years. Naturally, the fire will also be taken away.

The fire in the fire pit is still the same when it rains, when it snows, or when the wind blows, and it is not affected in any way.

After today's ritual was completed, Wu turned and left the firepit. Walked towards Shao Xuan.

"Ah Xuan, what do you say, what will happen to Yanjiao when he returns to his hometown?" Wu asked.

Shao Xuan thought for a while and said, "It won't be calm anymore." ”

"yes, it's not calm anymore. Wu looked at the vast river in the distance, and although his tone was emotional, the determination in his eyes never changed.

Ao next to him did not speak, with a happy face on his face. The clenched fists showed that he was still excited. He is the leader, and in the future, even after he is gone, the descendants of the Flamehorn tribe will still remember him. This is an important turning point in the history of the tribe, and their names will be recorded on the animal skin scrolls that will be passed down to future generations. This is the supreme glory.

After standing at the top of the mountain, Wu and Shao Xuan and Ao returned to the stone house. In the room, the two big leaders and a few other old men have already arrived.

"Good. Today, we will reaffirm our plans for the return. Ao spread out a piece of animal skin and said.

Every two days, this group of people will gather here, and they will be tired if they don't come to discuss it for a day, and as an important member, Shao Xuan is often called up. Who made him the only one with sailing experience?

————

When the rainy season finally ended, the people who had been silent for a rainy season became excited.

It's time to leave.

Although for many of them, it is more like the ancestral land, the grandparents of their grandfathers. Grandpa's grandparents, and some other people, were born here, and left here, if they said that they were not nostalgic, it was absolutely impossible, but Wu said that the ancestral land of the Yanjiao tribe was not here, so they believed it and went back with the hope of their ancestors.

The people on the mountain, carrying large and small boxes, came down the mountain, men, women and children, in groups, from the road of glory, from the mountain down, perhaps, this is the last time they will walk this road in this life.

A child carried his animal skin bag and followed his parents down the mountain, and when he was halfway there, he looked back in the direction of his house, and for some reason, he cried.

A large, rough hand rested on the child's head and twisted his head forward, "Look at the road, don't look back." ”

"Hmm. ”

At the foot of the mountain, Ge and several other people, who are usually responsible for delivering food to the cave, instructed the children in the cave to leave.

Chirping grabbed a few boxes that Lao Ke had bundled, and picked up the boat that flew to the other side of the artificial lake, while Caesar carried Lao Ke on his back and went to the other side of the lake with the others under the mountain.

Which people will take which boat, this has been arranged for a long time, and everyone has been accustomed to the boat for a while, so that they will not feel unwell immediately after getting on the boat.

Shao Xuan was called by Wu to go up the mountain to help, Wu has the most things there, other people's boxes can be reduced, Wu here can't, even if Wu wants to reduce, others are unwilling, those are all left by the ancestors.

The soldiers who helped to carry the boxes were as careful as if they were holding fragile objects, their faces were respectful, their bodies were stiff, and they had to be cautious when they took a step.

After a trip, Shao Xuan went to Lao Ke's side to check the situation, and after making sure that everything was fine, he came to the mountain.

Before going up the mountain, Shao Xuan went to the cave to have a look.

When he woke up, he was in this hole, and in the blink of an eye, so much time had passed.

Coming to the stone room with the mural, Shao Xuan looked at the painting on the cave wall, his eyes stopped at the end of the painting, and after thinking about it, Shao Xuan carved a few words with a stone knife in the blank space behind him - we went back to our hometown.

After writing it, at the end of that sentence, the word "Xuan" was engraved.

Standing up, Shao Xuan used stones and thatch to block the vent, and then walked out.

A gust of wind blew, and the smell of fish in the wind did not dissipate.

Shao Xuan looked at the stone wall near the entrance of the cave, and there were still the words engraved on it when he did not awaken the power of the totem, as well as the paintings drawn with charred branches.

In addition to Shao Xuan's paintings, there are also various traces left by the children who lived here in the past thousand years, including fish bones left after gnawing, dilapidated animal skins, and messy thatch......

Walking out of the cave, Shao Xuan moved the big stone not far away, blocking the entrance of the cave and covering the qiē inside the cave.

When he went up the mountain, the things had been moved, and there was nothing to do with him, but Wu didn't let him leave.

Not only Shao Xuan, but also the leader Ao, the two big leaders. Mai and the other leaders of the hunting squads, as well as the old men who always participated in the discussions, did not leave.

Wu led them up to the top of the mountain, and when they came down again, Wu was already holding a small flame in his hand. It was much smaller than when it was in the firepit, like the little flame lit on a birthday candle, which was held in the palm of Wu Carefully's hand.

Next to the leader Ao Wu, Gui Ze, as the successor of the future Wu, helped Wu take the cane and stood on the other side slightly behind Ao. Others, on the other hand, are surrounded.

As I walked down the Path of Glory, there were two rows of warriors standing on each side of the road. There is not a single person below the intermediate totem warrior level.

When the witch passed, the warriors standing there would kneel down and perform the highest tribal salute, and only after the witch had left would they get up and follow behind, their eyes red.

Descend the path of glory and walk to the artificial lake where twenty-three boats have been parked. Wu didn't go fast, but no one complained. Those who have already boarded the ship did not have the slightest impatience.

The largest one had been docked, and a wooden ladder was lowered from above.

On board, there is a miniature version of the fire pit, the size of a basin. After the witch brought the fire, he placed it there.

After the witch was ready, Ao announced.

Woo –

When the horn sounded, the people in charge of each ship immediately commanded the people to set sail.

They have been trained, although they are not as skilled as Shao Xuan. But also improvised.

Ships have left the man-made lake one after another, and the floodgates of the waterway from the lake to the river have been opened, and the boats have sailed out of the waterway and into the river

Above.

"Alright, now everyone should be careful, be careful not to fall behind!" Ao roared.

The fleet is getting farther and farther, and the mountain where the tribe is located is gradually getting smaller in the field of vision.

Beneath the surface, piranhas, large and small, are active. If you stand on the side of the boat and look down, you can see a lot of big fish that are longer than a person, swimming by, and sometimes rubbing the boat and swaying the boat.

As he sailed, Shao Xuan, who had been checking the situation on each boat, found that the farther away from the central ship, the more easily disturbed it was by fish.

At first, Shao Xuan didn't understand it, and there were various guesses, but when Shao Xuan had a whim, he looked at it with a special ability vision, and found that the light emanating from the big boat in the center touched the closest ships to the big ship, and those few ships were rarely hit by fish.

Tinder?!

Grabbing the chirping eagle's feet, Shao Xuan came to the central ship from the ships in the outer circle of the fleet, and told Wu and the leader about his discoveries and guesses, but he didn't say anything about his special abilities.

"The reason for the fire?" Wu thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Yes, the tinder could have protected the tribe from other beasts and fierce beasts. The fish in the river, too. ”

As he spoke, the witch recited a mantra, just like during the sacrifice, so that the fire expanded from a small flame to the whole fire pit, but the temporary fire pit on the ship was much smaller.

"Keep everybody close. Wu said to Ao.

Ao went out and told everyone what Wu meant, and the other ships were moving closer to this side, but not too close, too close and prone to accidents.

Walking out of the cabin, Shao Xuan looked again, and the light emitted from the big ship in the center was much brighter, and it also expanded outward, just shrouding the ships approaching.

The ships after that, although they were occasionally rubbed twice by some big fish with too much curiosity, were much less frequent, much better than when Shao Xuan sailed alone.

As the days passed, the fleet sailed fairly smoothly, and in order to seize the time, there were people on each boat who took turns paddling in addition to the sails. Although there was no chirping boat this time, the speed of the boat was acceptable, and the direction was determined, so it went straight to that side, unless it was blocked by the carcasses of some large fish floating on the water, or avoided by some dangerous factors, it was to sail in a straight line as much as possible, after all, if it could not catch up with the other bank before the river level fell, it would be wasted, in that case, the Yanjiao tribe would really have to completely withdraw from the stage of history.

At the same time, the strange feeling in Shao Xuan's heart came again.

This time, with fire and protection and more manpower, Shao Xuan also had a little more free time, and he used this free time to carefully observe the surrounding river, even the clouds, moon, starlight, etc. in the sky.

Shao Xuan suddenly had a guess in his heart.

Perhaps, the river is not as big as he imagined. (To be continued......)
