Chapter 13: The Great River
Clay pots, clay bowls, table salt, pottery coins, cured meat, salted fish, and the blessings and hopes of the old people of the tribe were carried in bamboo baskets by the twenty-six people who traveled far away.
The group drifted farther and farther away, their backs gradually disappearing behind the reeds on the distant riverbank.
Xiao Feng held her aunt Hongmei's hand, her eyes were red, and she asked, "When will my brother come back, I still want to hear my brother tell stories." ”
"When two more black lines are drawn on the sundial."
Since the age of agriculture, human civilization has lived along the water, from the Danube River and the Mediterranean Sea on the Europa continent in the west, to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River in China in the east.
The small river at the mouth of the cave of the Gu tribe was too small to nourish a settlement of no more than 100 people, but if he wanted to build a city that could carry a thousand or even 10,000 people in the future, he would have to find a river with a width of more than 100 meters.
There is no need to discern the direction of walking along the downstream of the river, because the hunting team usually walks around in the direction of the downstream, there are few weeds on the road when the group walks, and the first day of the journey is very smooth, Gu Guo, who has a strong sense of distance and direction, estimates that he is now in the north-east direction of the tribe, and he tentatively determines that the direction of the rising sun is east, whether it is on the earth or in another world.
The direction is a salutation, and you can use it yourself.
When the sun goes down and the sky is turned red, the people make a fire under the guidance of stones.
The priest untied the clay pot on his back, and the people ran to collect firewood, which was very dry in late autumn, and the flame burned the grease in the bark and made a crackling sound.
Cured meat and salted fish are salted with a lot of salt, so you can save a lot of salt when cooking the broth.
Everyone sat around the lit bonfires, and settled dinner with laughter and laughter.
"Mother, last night I dreamed of my ancestors again."
"Guided by your ancestors, have you thought of something new?"
Gu Guo nodded, he sat beside the priest's mother, supported his body with his hands back, and looked up at the sky.
In this era, there was no light pollution, and the stars in the night sky covered the entire sky, and the dense place of stars, like a silver ribbon, connected the earth and the sky from north to south.
"I'm homesick."
"Home?"
It has been a month since Gu Guo arrived in this primitive world, and the excitement at the beginning is about to be worn out, and the nature of the system can't let him pretend to be x and shatter a mountain with one punch to give the primitive people a prestige or something.
For a month, he has been diligently doing what he can, slowly accumulating prestige in the tribe, and now the priest's mother and the leader Shi will also come to discuss with him when they encounter something that is not easy to solve, and he is about to have the power that he did not dare to covet in his previous life, but Gu Guo can't be happy.
He was homesick, his parents, girlfriend, grandparents, and grandparents in his previous life......
He knew that he might never be able to go back to the earth he had been, and would spend the rest of his life in an infinite world until his consciousness and soul could no longer bear the eternal loneliness, and finally annihilated in the universe.
Gu Guo couldn't understand what the system meant by throwing him into this primitive world, just leading the natives to climb the technology tree and reach the pinnacle of life, or something else?
"yes, homesick. The ancestors said that we should not live in a cave all the time, there is a wider world outside, science created this world, and we should not be in a cold cave. ”
"But there are wild beasts outside, and the cave can protect ......"
"Mother, look at the sky, the stars in the sky." Gu Guo said, "The ancestors said that every star in the sky is as big as the earth under our feet. ”
"So many stars, more than the leaves of all the trees on the cave hill combined, and more than all the fish in this little river. The outside world is big, big, we are descendants of our ancestors, and we deserve to conquer the land under our feet. ”
"When the jackals come, we have bows and arrows, and when our people come, we have clay pots and food, and we are many, much stronger than before. Now we don't have to worry about food every day, and we don't have to worry about the lack of salt and jerky in winter......"
Gu Guo said a lot, and later the clansmen gathered around him and listened to him talk about the benefits of living outside.
"Goo, where should we sleep? In winter, it is very cold on the ground. ”
The stone asked everyone's thoughts, and everyone's eyes looked at them like curious babies.
"We can build houses!"
"Building a house?"
It's something new that I've never heard of, why do our ancestors keep guiding Gugu?
The faces of the people were puzzled and happy, they also wanted to get the favor and guidance of their ancestors, oh yes, and Hua, he also got the guidance of his ancestors.
"Yes, we build houses by the river, and build them with wood and mud bricks, and in the houses it is warm when it snows, but it is hotter when it's hot than in the cave."
"It's good to be warm, it's good to be warm!"
The mother grinned, it often happened that people froze to death in winter, and there were too many babies who couldn't survive in winter, and she had seen and heard more than ten of them, and she couldn't remember exactly how many.
You can wear less in the summer, as long as you don't bask in the sun, you can't die.
"Is the house really that good?" Stone asked.
"Yes, but we're going to build a bigger river, and this river is too small." Gu Guo nodded.
"Half a day further, this small river will flow into a big river, stand on the bank of the river and look at the opposite side, you can't see the trees clearly, is this river big enough?" Stone asked again.
"I can't see the trees on the other side...... Big enough! Tomorrow we'll pick a good place, and when we get back, we'll build the house before it snows! ”
"Whew!"
After arranging the vigil, Gu Guo lay in the animal skin sleeping bag and fell into a deep sleep.

High dimensionality.
The two transcendent beings conversed, and the spatial strings vibrated in their perceptions, approaching each other and collapsing into their language. If you look at it from a higher dimension, you will find that the two transcendent beings are two intersecting planes, and the countless worlds are the dots on the plane.
One of the transcendent beings said, "Gaia, let's start the Bright Ocean Project." ”
Another transcendent being named Gaia said, "Understood, Mentor Yun Yao. ”
Yun Yao and Gaia went to the edge of the ruins and tore off a corner, matter and energy were born under the power of the two beings, and one plane after another appeared out of thin air, and when time accelerated, these born planes continued to fall towards the ruins.
I don't know how long it took, Yun Yao and Gaia's creation stopped.
Yun Yao asked, "How many sub-ruin planes have you created?" ”
Gaia replied, "Seven hundred and sixty-two." ”
Yun Yao replied, "I have created a sub-ruin plane of 16,300 yuan, and the plane created by you and me should be able to catch a lot of enemies. ”
With a wave of her hand, the 17,062 planes flashed with 17,062 beams of light.
Gaia said, "Mentor, the variables have been put into all the Creation Planes. ”
Yun Yao said, "Gaia, how many people do you say can get out of the plane this time?" ”
Gaia shook her head and replied, "I don't know, there are countless possibilities for each variable, and I hope more comrades will join our ranks." ”
Yun Yao said: "You're right, let's wait and see." ”
