Chapter 26: It's Time to Go
After the prospective hunters passed the coming-of-age ceremony and got the opportunity to train intensively, Hado handed over the matter of the hunter training to the important hunter leaders of the old days, and the leaders of the original "Pu-So-Hun" and the original "Mu-Tua-Yin" were responsible for teaching fishing and hunting, and they all had a face-to-face with Hadu, and their strength Hadu was very satisfied.

The growth of the juniors has brought a new atmosphere to the tribe, and Hadu has to return to the tower to continue arranging related work. He had already received statistics from below, saying that the reproductive status of the tribesmen in this fire season was good, and due to the advantages of group fighting, the chance of young men being injured in hunting was very low, and the abundance of food also greatly increased the chance of conception. In addition, because Hadu rode a horse to patrol the tribe every day, and the injured and sick tribesmen would plunder the pain, which also made the average health of the tribe increase day by day, and the maximum life expectancy also increased faintly. Under Hadu's protection, the survival rate of newborns in the clan has increased by 4 percent compared with previous years, and the chance of sequelae caused by xanthopathy (jaundice), dycosis (anemia), and brittle bone disease (long bone dysplasia) after birth has been reduced by about 2 percent, and after this fire season, the residual symptoms of these diseases may be reduced to a minimum.
After the end of the flood season of the fire season, everything shows a rapid growth tide. Hadu went to a test field on the high ground and found that the land was soaked with water and was extremely nutritious after sprinkling soot. The leader of the farmer told Hado with joy that soon after the rainstorm ended, they were busy sowing the seeds, and that the skies had begun to clear in the past few days, and that the seeds had begun to sprout and were growing well. If the current growth progresses, it should be possible to get a good harvest before the snow season arrives. Hadu still had to guard against the strange weather of the pit father, so he ordered that if there was a need for manpower on the side of the experimental field, the farmer could mobilize infantry to help at any time.
As the farmer had predicted, Hadu had indeed eaten fragrant rice after the bumper harvest before the snow season, and not only him, but even most of the tribe members were able to taste this wonderful taste of the snow season. After leaving a certain amount of grain seeds, the farmers reduced the number of people sent out to find natural grains and continued to expand the area under rice cultivation. The scale of mining and smelting in the tribe has also been able to mobilize manpower to expand production as the new tribe sites have begun to take shape, and the total amount of soot produced at a time has also begun to increase, so that there is enough fertilizer for rice cultivation to be applied.
The work in the tribe has begun to reach a certain level, and after about two seasons of non-stop construction work, "Shin'ne-Nu" has gone from fragmented puzzle pieces from the beginning to merge into a whole family. After completing the basic work of the tribe, Hadu began to steadily promote the simplified rune system, and his daily life became a habit like going to work, simplifying the runes, plundering knowledge and experience, healing the injuries of his clansmen, training excellent hunters, and inspecting the progress of the excavation of the "Falie" cave.
In this way, the 21 fire seasons passed in a hurry, and Hadu also grew from a young 14-year-old to a strong 35-year-old. Over the years, the old patriarchs and old chiefs with old injuries began to pass away one by one, and every season or two, Hado had to attend their funerals several times. The small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland have been brought in, and a large number of young and middle-aged people have supplemented the original positions of the old high-level and accepted the inheritance of various technical abilities in the tribe, so that even if these old tribesmen are missing in the tribe, there will be no problem of declining production capacity.
And just a few days ago, Hadu had just attended the funeral of a 76-year-old craftsman, and by the way, he had plundered the other party's technical experience in logging, and finally encountered a long-lost settlement.
"You have plundered the loyalty of the 'Pu-So-Hun', 'Luo-Fe-Yon', 'Fu-Ril-Kue', and 'Yo-Fo-Hi' tribesmen to their original tribes, with +10700 Kindness and +10100 Malevolence;"
Ah, these tribal names have not been heard in more than 20 fire seasons, and Hado's face is full of emotion and amazement - so many years have passed, and "Shin'ne-Nu" has finally been established in its entirety, and the names of these original tribes have gradually faded with time, and even the newborn children no longer know these past names.
"You have plundered the knowledge of pig iron smelting, rice cultivation, logging and planting, civil engineering, fishing and hunting, poison preparation, and pottery making at the primitive craft level, with an overall goodwill value of +12200 and a malice value of +14700;"
In 20 seasons, he had gained all the technical knowledge and experience of this grassland, and Hadu felt that it was difficult for him to improve, and he finally had time to relax, and he couldn't help but wonder if he should go out for a walk and pursue the childhood dream of going to the north 20 years ago.
"The fifth settlement is underway for you;
Your difficulty level will be 11 and your skill level will be 10 after this settlement;"
Hadu waited for a long time, but did not wait for any change in the sentence in front of him.
He felt a little melancholy.
Over the past 20 seasons, the strange weather he encountered has become more and more intense, from landslides at the beginning, to ice storms and fire tornadoes later, and even encountering blasting kilns and ground cracking sinkholes. In most cases, Hadu was able to save the lives of his people, recover from injuries to the body, and even quickly launch a plunder when his neck was cut and his skull was pierced. But for those who slipped into quicksand, pits, and boiling water with one foot, no amount of divine power Hadu could save them. Although the fertility rate in the tribe is steadily increasing, the number of people who die in accidents is also increasing year by year. For years, Hado had been waiting for the settlement to come, hoping to change the troublesome situation after the settlement, but now, his hopes were dashed.
Staying in the tribe will only bring ruin to the tribesmen. Although after these abnormal weather conditions, the emergency response ability and disaster prevention and relief awareness of the tribe will be improved to a certain extent, but I can't stand the sudden situation that I don't know when to come, and there is no way to discuss whether these sudden disasters are good or bad for "Shin'ne-Nu".
In the space of consciousness, Hadu looked at the empty space in front of him and was silent for a long time. At the end, he was powerless to check the changes in the value of good and evil.
As he thought, the technical experience of pottery making and smelting pig iron did not bring much accumulation of good and evil values, but the knowledge of rice cultivation at the primitive process level brought him 6,000 good intentions and 1,2000 bad intentions.
"The rice cultivation technology you have obtained has caused malice to other human populations near the steppe, +12000;"
Other human populations, this description gave Hado a bad feeling in his heart. He knew that the nomadic horse caravan was one of the populations on the other side of the desert, but if there were other populations, it might be detrimental to the tribe when Hadu left to explore the north. Before he could explore, he had to make sure that "Shin'ne-Nu" had the ability to deal with encounters with other human races.
Consider that after leaving the tribe, the tribe may be deficient in medical care, craftsmanship, and hunting command, which have been the main tasks of Hado's construction over the years. And the last thing Hadu has to worry about is the coordination management and hunter training within the tribe, these things are what the tribal rules have long generated, and the group of hunters who have grown up at the same time as Hadu have already held various important positions in the tribe, and they are completely able to take over the position when Hadu is away.
Hadu sighed inwardly: it seemed that he was completely ready to leave the tribe.
Exiting the space of consciousness, Hadu participated in the memorial ceremony of the old craftsman, and received a message from the scouts from the border fortress (where the original "Mu-Tua-Yin" was located) that a large team of horses led by camels had been found in the mountains downstream. Hadu immediately reacted: it was possible that Sitimud Egger had finished his trip south and started his return journey.
However, what Hadu did not expect was that after welcoming the horse team for repairs, it was not the wise Sitimud that he saw. Leading the team was Sitimud's second son, Anderkukod Egger, who, according to him, had passed away peacefully five months before the snow season, leaving painless and with a kind expression on his face, quietly sitting on a boulder by the sea.
Seaside..
Hadu keenly grasped the word, which was described in the glyph as "Yi-Rim_Ho'or", which means "wide lake", and he had the impression that the lake was already endless, so with the addition of "wide", he couldn't imagine what it would look like. At the same time, the other party also described this "wide lake" as "Hja-Wu", which means "salty", which made him feel even more incomprehensible: the whole big lake is salty, so don't the fish in it die? Strangely, Anderkukod said that the fish in the sea were alive and well, and they didn't look uncomfortable at all because they were too salty.
Hadu was very interested in the scene of "seaside", so he took the opportunity to mention to the other party that he wanted to travel to the north. Anderkukod did not look surprised, but said that he had heard his father talk about his advice to Hado, and since Hadu had decided to go to the north this time, and the Egg clan happened to be returning to the north, he proposed a way to communicate with Hado. Hadu happily agreed, of course, but he said that he needed to make some arrangements in the tribe in order to walk at ease, and Anderkukod expressed his understanding and willingness to rest in the "Shin'ne-Nu" tribe and wait for Hadu to complete the arrangements in the tribe.
Now that he had decided to go for a hike, Hadu had to gather the people of his tribe for a farewell ceremony.
His orders were soon delivered, and the timber was felled, the timber was made, and the ceremonial wooden platform was erected. After three days of preparation, a two-person wooden platform was erected in front of the tower. The clansmen all silently gathered on the side of Mutai, from the bottom of their hearts, they all did not want Hadu to leave the tribe, but they also knew in their hearts that Hadu's ability was definitely not something that other people could have, and the stage of "Shin'ne-Nu" was too small for Hadu to play.
It was a very sunny day, but the people were not in high spirits. Hadu slowly ascended the wooden platform, but he also had a calm face, looking at the people without sorrow or joy. After so many fire seasons, so many snow seasons, one pair after another, the population of "Shin'ne-Nu" has grown to nearly 75,000 people. Looking at the crowd of people below, Hado was full of emotion.
He spoke softly, but his voice was loud enough:
“Sai_Un-Cjua'al_Fo'ol-Ki'il,Sai_Un-Cjua'al_Sje'ep-Yon'ne,Ma-Dom_Shin'ne-Nu_Chi_Sjan'ne;”
"Twenty fire seasons have come, twenty snow seasons have receded, and the mighty 'Shin'ne-Nu' is bursting out;"
“Sjen_A-Lin'nua_Jin_Loq'qa,Gon-Ye_Ku_De-Dju_Ha_Ben-Mao'ol;”
"The false gods retreated under the roar of the hunters, and the people were as excited as the creator god saw the god of joy;"
“Un-Cjua'al_Yon'ne-Fo'ol_Ne,Shin'ne-Nu'ufa_Jo-Fan_Yi-Rim_Fon'ne-Kun'na;”
"Twenty seasons later, the people of 'Shin'ne-Nu' have built a huge city;"
“U,Pem'ma,U,Pem'ma,He-Du_Puj'jo_Nah'hu_Far're_Su,Sin-Ki_Bu,Ri_Ufa_Hor're_Fa;”
"Don't weep, don't grieve, (I) Hadu has heard a threat from afar, has sharpened his blade, and is ready to protect our people like an eagle guarding its cubs;"
Hearing Hadu's impassioned speech, the people raised their heads and their eyes were full of enthusiasm and contentment—with such an honorary leader who had dedicated his life to the safety of the tribe and its people to the safety of the tribe and its people, they all felt in their hearts that it was enough.
In fact, it is quite difficult for Hadu to be able to say such a large number of speeches, after all, the vocabulary of this era is still quite scarce, and he also wants to say things such as "Even if I am not in the tribe, our people must use blades and flesh and blood to lay a solid foundation for the future of the tribe and ensure that our glory is not violated", but even in the current simplified character system, there are no highly condensed words like "foundation" and "glory".
The speech on the wooden platform was quickly over, and after he walked down, Anderkukod stepped forward and complimented Hado's speech as inspiring, and Hadu thanked him in a friendly way in return—and the two chiefs knew how effective it would be.
Surrounded by the crowd, Hadu made his way from the tower and inspected various important places in the tribe. There is now a wide road about 160 steps wide from the tower to the "Fare" cave, and houses have been built on both sides of the road, so that this road forms the central axis of the "Shin'ne-Nu" tribe.
After eating at noon, Hadu was ready to set off with the nomadic horse caravan. Before leaving, he still took the time to look at the cave he had booked on the "Falie". Even if more manpower was deployed, the quarrying efficiency was accelerated, and the quarrying process was updated, there was no way to speed up the excavation of the cave. I don't know why, this cave is different from other places: after the gravel on the surface is chiseled through, the rock inside is so hard that even the use of brass stone cutters is slow. However, before Hadu left, some parts of the cave were opened, at least the vent was more widened, and the sound of running water and wind coming from it became louder and louder. According to the craftsmen in charge of the excavation of this generation, when the "exploration" was carried out, the hardness of the inner rock was not known, and the analysis conclusions were wrong. For the rock inside, the master craftsman expects that it will take another 30 fire seasons to be able to chisel through at the shortest, and it is estimated on the premise that brass smelting technology will continue to improve.
However, due to the extreme hardness of this substance, Hado suggested that the craftsmen collect the excavated stones, and separate the black substance from them, which should be used in other excavation operations, which should have a miraculous effect.
This cave is really Hado's long-unfinished business, but he also knows that it is useless to be anxious, so he can only wait for this exploration to the north to return to the tribe, hoping that the cave will be successfully excavated by then.
Before leaving, the leaders of the tribe asked Hadu to choose a "Symbol of Honor", and Hadu agreed, choosing "Yiheb'be" as his name, and at this point, Hadu's name was officially changed to "He-Du_Yiheb'be", that is, "Hadu of Glory", and the word was placed at the entrance of the cave.
In this way, Hadu turned back step by step, accompanied by Anderkukod Egger, and embarked on the road to the north. They needed to enter the desert from the vicinity of another river of Fare, and before stepping into the valley of the desert, Hado looked back at the people gathered at the foot of Mount Fare, including the hunters who had gone through the rite of passage with him, the cavalrymen he had plundered, the assassins and scouts he had brought into the tribe, the craftsmen with whom he had studied their craft, and the children who had just grown up. None of them wanted him to go, and he didn't want to stay away from his people.
But he finally knew that under his shadow, the people would never grow up, and would only rely on their own predatory abilities, which he was aware of in the course of his medical and emergency awareness. Only when he leaves the tribe can the "Shin'ne-Nu" truly develop into a large human population that is unique in this grassland, and can be able to deal with those unknown enemies.
Hadu stepped firmly onto the riverbank, into the oasis created along the river.
He didn't look back.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
He walked on with tears in his eyes.
He didn't look back.
Behind him came the whining sound of the piccolo, and a song "Coming" on the grassland sounded, playing a faint nostalgia, and with the sound of the flute, it was the low voice of the clansmen.
“Iza;”
“Kulin'na;”
“Pu-Hia;”
“Gu-Kom'ma;”
“Ya;”
“Tom'me-Sa;”
“Sjin-Pa;”
“Ilo,Dir'ra;”
The sound of the complaining piccolo swayed in the wind, drifting over the "Fa Lie", floating across the yellow sand, floating across the river, and floating over the oasis.
Until Hadu's figure became a small dot in the river, and the clansmen behind him became a black oppression and couldn't see clearly.
Until Hado's figure disappeared into the river, and the people behind him were obscured by the desert.
Until.. I can't hear the piccolo full of homesickness anymore.
Until.. In front of and behind him, there is only the fine water of Ding Dong, and the long yellow sand.
Until..
