Chapter 19: The Moon Is Out

Shao Xuan stayed in the stone room every day, learned the last patterns of the stone wall on the right, and also studied the paintings on the stone wall, thinking that it would probably help in the future, and he was idle anyway.

Winter passed day by day, and it was much calmer than expected. In the winter of this year, the children in the cave all stored fish, plus food and firewood from the tribe, as well as some herbs commonly used in winter prepared for Shao Xuan, and there were no accidents.

Two days ago, a younger child had a cold and burned, Shao Xuan boiled the herbs given by Ge and poured it into him, and it was stable in two days. As long as you survive this time, if your physique is too poor, it is useless to pour herbs, and if you can't wait for someone to come over, you will be wiped out in the world like the body of Shao Xuan's body. Fortunately, in the period before winter, the children in the cave also ate well because they often went out for activities, and their bodies were a little stronger, not as high as in previous years.

In the stone room, Shao Xuan put a hair cushion on the ground, and sometimes he studied the murals too late, so he slept directly here. Fingers on the ground to draw the pattern, after drawing one, Shao Xuan sighed, two-thirds of the winter has passed, there are still about twenty or thirty days, it will be much better to survive the past, every day I stay in the hole and feel that the whole person is moldy and rusty, wilted and unenergetic.

Just as he was thinking, Caesar, who was lying next to him, moved his ears and looked at the outside of the stone.

Then Shao Xuan heard Ge's shout.

Today shouldn't be the day to make an appointment with Ge to deliver food, could it be that staying in the stone room and thinking too much is confused, and the memory is wrong?

With doubts, Shao Xuan walked out of the stone room and went over there to have a look.

"Uncle Ge, what are you doing here?" Shao Xuan looked at the triangles he drew on the stone wall to keep track of the time, because the grid came every three days, so Shao Xuan did not use the word "positive" to mark the time, but drew the triangle, but now the triangle at the back is still missing a stroke, that is to say, the grid should come over tomorrow.

Ge shook the snow off his clothes beside the fire, took out a scroll of animal skin, and said, "I have come to find someone, and all the people who are over eleven years old are called here." ”

Shao Xuan took the animal skin scroll and looked at it, and there were seven names written on it, including stammering and slaughtering. The two of them seemed to think of something, their eyes lit up, and they looked at this side expectantly.

The names written on the animal skin scroll were the same as Shao Xuan's understanding, and he called people over, and two of them who were still sleeping also picked them up. The person who was forcibly woken up from sleep and was still a little dazed when he saw Ge and the children who were already standing next to Ge, his hand rubbing his eyes froze, and he suddenly quickly packed up his things and ran to Ge with a grin.

Ge's gaze paused on the fishtooth necklaces around the necks of the seven children, then swept over the signs they wore with their names written on them, checking them one by one. He is usually in charge of delivering food, and he also has an impression of the children in the cave, but this time things must not be sloppy, and must be confirmed again.

"Yes, just seven of them. ”

Putting away the skin rolls, Ge threw a leather cloak to each of the seven children, and said, "Put it on, and follow me out later...... Moore, you're with you. ”

More was only eleven years old after the winter, and now he is ten years old.

Hearing Grid's words, Moore put on his clothes and carried his knife on his back, and walked over calmly, as if he had expected such a thing, unlike the other children, who were either excited or envious.

"Okay, Ah Xuan, you continue to sleep, I'll leave with someone first, and I'll deliver food on time tomorrow." Ge lifted the curtain and left with a few children.

Shao Xuan opened the thick grass curtain on the outermost layer of a crack, and the cold wind blowing in made his eyes stinging and stinging, and his vision was a little blurry, but he could still see the thick layer of snow outside the cave, as well as the road that was opened by the grid, the snow layer on both sides of the road was higher than the children walking on the road, and the small figures were shivering from the cold, but they still followed the grid closely, and their steps did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but with urgency.

Lowering the straw curtain, Shao Xuan returned to the cave. The rest of the children in the cave were also sleepy, and they all stared at the fire.

Shao Xuan knew why.

After winter, there will be a snow festival and sacrificial activities, and the most important thing in the sacrificial activities is the annual totem awakening, which can awaken the power of the totem, and from then on they will be totem warriors, and those who fail to awaken can only wait for another year.

In the tribe, children around the age of ten are usually sent to the mountains for pre-selection before the end of winter, and the witch will keep the children with the highest chance of awakening, and send the other children back. However, compared to other children in the tribe, the children in the cave are generally in poor health, so they will delay their age by one year, and in other places, they are sent to the mountain for pre-selection at the age of ten, and the children in the cave are eleven years old. Moore is a special case, after all, Mohr is not a pure cave person, because of regular training, his physique is far better than other children.

The children who followed Ge in the past are definitely not calm in their hearts now, and they all hope that they can be left by the witch this time, because, as long as it is left by the witch, ninety percent will awaken the power of the totem this time, even if the remaining one percent can't awaken this time, it will definitely succeed next year.

Shao Xuan is only nine years old now, and he will be ten years old after the winter, which is still early, and now he has nothing to do, after Ge left, he told the children in the cave to go to him if they had something, and then returned to the stone room again to continue to study the murals.

Four days later, when Ge brought food over, he also brought back four children who were quite depressed, including Tu and Stuttering. The eldest two thirteen-year-olds weren't there, too, and the two were fourteen years old after the winter, and it would be a bit abnormal if they didn't wake up.

The former "cave master" Ku is also thirteen years old, and he knows people who live on the mountainside, and he is probably training and preparing this winter. Many warriors believe that before the awakening of the power of the totem, the stronger the body, the stronger the ability after awakening. Please let someone stay on the mountainside for the winter, Ku can eat better, and be taught some experience by the totem warriors, which is much better than staying in the cave. This is also the reason why Ku did not stay in the cave for the winter this year and went up early.

"Don't be discouraged, sooner or later, maybe you will be able to become a totem warrior next year. Ge comforted the four children who were depressed, put down the food and left.

"I really envy them for being left behind by witches, and they can still accept the teachings of witches. Said a child who had been brought back by Ge.

"Hey, what did Wu tell you?" the other children asked.

"Witch ......"

The four children, who had been hanging their heads, suddenly raised their heads at forty-five degrees, their eyes filled with adoration and awe.

Shao Xuan pouted beside him.

It's brainwashing, isn't it?

That old god stick.

Shao Xuan only scolded a few words in his heart, and couldn't say anything, looking at those four children, it was only a few days, and he was completely brainwashed by the old god.

After this little episode, the cave was calm again. Although Tu and Stutter were still frustrated, they still had to go on with their lives.

One night, Shao Xuan slept in a daze, he dreamed of two crooked moons, dreamed of melting ice and snow, and dreamed of fire...... Until he heard some shouting, and the shouting grew louder and louder, waking him up from his dream.

The sound was not from the cave, but from somewhere else.

The older child woke up and listened carefully to the voice, and suddenly his face was happy, "Winter must have passed!"

Shao Xuan yawned and wrapped himself in a fur blanket, it was still night, the fire in the cave had long been extinguished, and he couldn't see anything, only the sound of children's chatter came from everywhere.

Shao Xuan asked Caesar to take it and touched it to the entrance of the cave.

Lifting the thick straw curtains, the shouts outside can be heard more clearly, and the excitement and joy inside those voices can be heard.

Against the cold wind, Shao Xuan looked at the night sky.

The snow stopped, and the two moons that had disappeared for a long time reappeared, although they were only faint shadows, but they made the dark night sky more vibrant.

At the end of winter, the festival of the Windsard Festival is also on the agenda.

I wonder how many people will become totem warriors this year? This is what many people in the tribe think when they shout excitedly.

There were people all over the tribe who were standing outside the house and looking at the night sky against the cold wind, and just as these people were no longer shouting excitedly and discussing the upcoming festival of wind and snow, they suddenly heard a child's roar from the other side of the cave.

"The moon is coming out, hello...... Hee-hee!"
