Chapter 442: Little People
Before the sun and star set, Gao Xiaosong returned to the tribe, and saw Mu Ma standing on the top of the mountain behind the tribe from a distance, looking to the north, hurriedly increased his speed, rushed over, and shouted from afar: "Mu Ma, Mu Ma, I'm back!"
When Qing Niang saw her son, she let go of the worries in her heart, waved her hand happily, waited for Gao Xiaosong to take a few leaps, went to the top of the back mountain, came to him, and said: "Don't go so far in the future, come back early, there are fierce beasts in this big mountain!"
Gao Xiaosong smiled and said: "Okay, I know, next time don't go far, don't keep running to the top of the mountain, the wind is strong, old cow, old cow, where are you going, come back quickly!"
A tall black cow walked out of the woods, still chewing grass in its mouth, stopped beside Qing Niang, Gao Song jumped on the back of the cow with his mother in his arms, and shouted: "Old cow, go home!"
The black bull turned and walked down the hill, unusually smooth, without any bumps.
Qing Niang said: "Today the tribe has a guest, you can go and have a look later, listen to the affairs outside, and increase your knowledge." ”
Gao Xiaosong didn't care, but said according to his mother's meaning: "Okay, I'll take a look when I go to get food later, and then find some bones, I found an old vine today, and boiling bone broth can replenish blood." ”
Qing Niang said happily: "Okay, good, you can't be a stupid man, you have now learned our Terran script, you can read the classics of our Terran, and you have to listen to more news from the outside, so that you will become smarter and smarter." ”
Gao Xiaosong nodded vigorously and said, "I know ......."
The two talked and laughed on the back of the ox, and soon went down the back mountain of the tribe and returned to the tribe.
At this time, when the tribe returned from hunting, most of the people in the tribe went to the south gate to pick up the people and help carry the prey.
Gao Xiaosong's family lives not far from the foot of the back mountain, but it is relatively quiet, and when he met a few people along the way, he hurriedly went to the front after greeting him.
Back at the door of the house, Gao Xiaosong helped his mother down, the black cow lay down on the side of the house, chewed it again, Gao Xiaosong untied the back basket, took the vines out, took out the stone pot, washed them together, filled them with water, lit a fire, and said: "Mom, stew the vines first, I'll go get some bones, you look at the fire." ”
Qingniang was weak, and she didn't need to go to the tribe to help, so she told Gao Xiaosong: "Xiaosong, you took the bones, go back and help, come back after eating, don't be greedy." ”
Mom's health is not good, so she can only drink some soup and eat some fruit for dinner, and she can't eat barbecue.
"Got it!"
Gao Xiaosong ran to the warehouse, asked the old man in charge of keeping the food for a few big bones, ran home quickly, washed them, and threw them into the stone pot to boil the soup, and was urged by Qing Niang to go to the square to help.
At this moment, except for the elderly and sick people with limited mobility, all the people in the tribe gathered in the middle square, noisy and lively, and everyone was elated.
Gao Xiaosong ran over with a cigarette, found a familiar companion, and followed him to wash the animal meat, scrape off the animal hair, and cut the meat pieces, some of which were skewered with wooden sticks and prepared for barbecue, and some were chopped into small pieces for boiling soup.
Thinking of his mother's words, Gao Xiaosong looked around, and easily saw two strangers, dressed in bright clothes, sitting on the edge of the square with the leader and chatting, and asked his companions in a low voice, "Da Hei, are those two guests from that tribe?
Da Hei held the wooden stick and poked it hard, skewered the pieces of meat, and said with a smile: "The two distinguished guests are not from any tribe, they are the immortal chiefs of the Qingyuan Sect in the northeast, and they are here to accept disciples from us. ”
"Oh!" Gao Xiaosong glanced at it, not paying much attention.
Da Hei was a little excited, leaned over, and said: "I heard that the Great Elder of Qingyuanmen advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm a few years ago, plus the head of Qingyuanmen, there are already two Heavenly Immortals, and they have already registered in the ancestral temple. ”
Gao Xiaosong didn't have much interest in these, and he forgot about it after hearing it, so he asked casually: "How many people does Qingyuanmen accept in our tribe?"
When Da Hei heard this, he was a little gloomy, and sighed: "I heard that we have no hope of recruiting one or two." He glanced over to the oven.
Seeing Daquan using a few washed green leaves, holding a few pieces of animal meat that had been grilled just right, and walking briskly to the leader and guests with a happy face, Tie Feng held a small vine blue seed, full of fruit, and followed behind.
Daquan and Tie Feng are the best young men in the tribe, nearly twenty years old, they are about to break through to the realm of qi refining, their bodies are strong, they dare to fight with bison with their bare hands, if only two people are recruited, they are the most likely to be recruited.
Gao Xiaosong ignored the gloom of the big black, put the skewered meat pieces in a large stone basin, and brought them to the roasting room, dozens of women inside were really sweating profusely to clean up the roasted animal meat, and when they saw Gao Xiaosong coming, they beckoned: "Xiaosong, and a few of you, bring these roasted meats to the leader." ”
A few teenagers who had sent meat like Gao Xiaosong picked up the huge stone basin together, smelled the rich aroma of barbecue, and hurried to the leader.
The leader was accompanying the guests to eat the fruit slowly, seeing Gao Xiaosong and others coming, he waved his hand to the side, Gao Xiaosong and others sent the barbecue meat to the leader in front of several old people, according to the custom, each person shared the same amount, and a girl sent the fruit, and also divided it.
Gao Xiaosong ran back and forth a few times, and when all the adult men in the clan had eaten, he filled a pot of soup in a stone basin, wrapped a roasted rib in leaves, and took a dozen fruits, and sat far away with a group of teenagers, looking in the direction of the leader, pricking up his ears, and listening to the leader and the guests.
They were small people, only slightly closer to the chief's position than the women.
Across the half square, the words of the leader and the guests were a little inaudible, and the teenagers all looked at Daquan and Tie Feng standing beside the leader with envy.
Gao Xiaosong really listened to it, seeing that the adults in the tribe today are eating meat slowly, and they also tear out the meat strips and eat them slowly, looking left and right, dealing with the companions around him with every word, and listening to the leaders and guests talking.
"The Jiuyuan Sect has been promoted to a first-class sect, and our Qingyuan Sect will also rise ...... water."
"Great Elder Liu Yun's term of office has arrived, and in a few years, the rotating hall elder will be re-elected......"
"These millions of years are the period when our human race has developed the fastest......"
"Our sect of exposition is the fastest growing ......"
"Yes, our human race went all the way to the north, wiped out more than a dozen flood races, and doubled the territory......
"Interception is not slow......
"Elder Liu Yun has made a lot of contributions......
"I heard that the House of Elders intends to elect the Lord of the Great Hall to be the Great Elder......"
......
Although Gao Xiaosong heard every word, he didn't understand or care too much, but it was already certain that Daquan and Tie Feng would follow the two immortals and go to Qingyuanmen, which was hundreds of millions of miles away in the northeast, to learn the Tao.
Daquan's mother had tears in her eyes, but her expression was proud, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, he had been comforting his mother, and so was Tiefeng's mother.
Gao Xiaosong knew that it would take at least a few thousand years, maybe tens of thousands of years to come back, and the two mothers were only more than 300 years old, how could they wait until then, and they would never see each other again.
Gao Xiaosong has no interest in learning the Tao at all, he still has to take care of his mother, pick good fruits and boil soup for his mother, and when the weather is cold, he has to plug all the cracks in the wooden house with flexible bark to prevent the cold wind from blowing in, so that his mother can have warmth at night.
If he leaves, Mom won't survive the winter.
