Chapter Eighty-Nine: Departure
In the stone house, Gongliang lay on the rocking chair with a round roll, swaying leisurely.
The chick lay at his feet, looked up, continued to bury its head in its wings, and fell asleep.
Because of the days of running, the two little guys were dirty, so Gongliang specially used a fragrant leaf in the forest to boil a pot of hot water to bathe them, after washing, it was fragrant and smelled very good. Especially round, after washing, the hair is fluffy and particularly comfortable to the touch.
However, this guy is getting fatter and fatter.
It's still good when I was a child, small, fat, silly, how to knead it, it's more comfortable and fun to hold.
But Yuanpian didn't like to be held by him like this, but he thought that it was not bad to have a meat pad to rely on, and Gongliang also worked hard to bathe it, which was considered a lot of hard work, so he reluctantly let him hug it.
The idea of roundness, to paraphrase the words of Gongliang's previous life star-seeker, is: shoveling, seeing that you are working so hard, I will give you a hug on my face.
Gongliang squinted his eyes and shook them, wondering if he had prepared everything for the trip?
Although he didn't get that kind of non-sticky fur to make a tent and sleeping bag last time he went out, after peeling the skin of the dragon viper, he found that the dragon viper skin does not get wet, and it is not bad to use it for a tent.
It's just a bit fishy, and it's hard to cut.
Fortunately, after adding fragrant leaves and soaking them, and then tanning them, the taste is gone. He also used the strong decomposition ability of the small black puddle to unravel a piece of dragon viper skin, and then used brute force to grind off the dragon viper skin little by little to make a simple tent. Two sleeping bags were also made from animal skins that had been brought from before.
Except for these two, the rest seems to be ready.
When everything was ready, he sat idle.
After a few days, the snow stopped and the weather improved.
Gongliang thought that maybe it was time to leave.
He is a sensual person, he has never liked scenes of joy and sorrow, and he likes to walk silently and quietly when he leaves. Keep your sorrow to yourself, and take your happiness away!
However, before leaving, he felt the need to feast on his uncle and friends who usually took care of him. After all, I don't know if there is a chance to come back, so I should give him practice. Before that, he had to go to Wu's place, and the last time Wu said he was leaving, he went over and prepared some self-defense medicine for him.
So, in the afternoon he went to Wu.
Dan looked at Gongliang who came in and asked with concern, "Are all the things ready for the trip?"
"It's ready. Gongliang said.
"That's good," Wu nodded, and then said, "Although there is a way to leave the ancestral land in the former Wu handscroll, you should also be more careful yourself. When you are away from home, you should act with caution. Wake up early and walk, never get off late. Remember, do not walk in the forest at night to avoid accidents. β
"Got it, Wu. Gongliang responded respectfully.
Wu said a few more words, telling him what he needed to pay attention to along the way, and then turned around and took out a wooden box from the shelf, which contained dozens of bottles of pills, all of which were the medicines he had prepared for Gongliang for a while.
"There are blood tonic pills, insect repellent pills, anti-miasma pills, anti-detoxification pills, etc., each bottle is engraved with words and methods of use, you can take it back and see it. β
"Thank you", Gongliang took it and said movingly.
"I hope that my help will allow you to get out of your ancestral land and see the wonderful world outside. However, after all, the outside is not as simple as our tribe, the people are sinister, treacherous and cunning, and there are many people, you have to be careful. If it's not good outside, come back, you will always be our warrior in Yanbe. β
"Hmm"
"Remember to talk to your friends when you leave, so that everyone doesn't miss you. β
"Wu, when I leave, I want to ask you to help give my stone house to Xiao Shi to live in..."
Gongliang actually had this idea for a long time, he thought about leaving by himself, it was useless to keep the stone house anyway, it was better to give it to Xiaoshi. But it's not good to say this by yourself, so I have to ask Wu for help.
"You don't have to think about these things, they will think about it themselves, you better keep it for yourself!" Wu refused
"Thisβ" Gongliang hesitated.
"Needless to say. Wu stopped him from continuing, and said, "If you can go out this time, you might as well go to my Great Wilderness Temple." β
"The Great Desolate Temple?"
"Well, the Great Wilderness Temple was originally built on the ancestral mountain, but unfortunately later the aura disappeared, the tribe moved away, and it was also demolished and taken away by the departing tribe. If you can go out, go and see, there is the inheritance of my hundred tribes of the Great Wilderness, maybe you will have the opportunity to get one of the inheritances of all the tribes. β
"Yes. β
When Gongliang came back from Wu, he went to the ground in front of the house and dug up the wine that was buried in the ground.
In the past few years, he has successively made a lot of sake, including fruit wine, pure sake liquid wine steamed from yams, and some wine soaked in the body of fierce beasts.
He put away all the fruit wine and the wine made from the steam of yams, and the wine soaked in the contents of various beasts was kept, and planned to invite the members of the hunting team where he was to come and drink it with a few familiar friends.
In the evening, he took out all his skills, made a lot of delicacies, accompanied by a rich and mellow wine, and ate and drank with everyone.
Xiao Xiaoshi also came with a group of little children to find interest, shuttling between everyone, secretly taking something from the table from time to time and putting it in his mouth, and then continued to play with the children.
Round and gnawed on a fleshy bone given to it by Gongliang, looking at him with disdain, and the chick was also chirping and pecking at something.
From time to time, Eminem and the other women of the hunting team came to see their men and saw that they were having a good time, and they laughed along with them.
This night is destined to be laughter.
This night is destined to be a mixture of wine and meat and voices.
This night is destined to be the end of the dark night and the beginning of the dawn.
This night, everyone finished eating all the dishes made by Gongliang and drank all the wine he took out, so you helped me, I helped you, staggered away, and some of them were already lying on the table, but they were helped back by their own women who came to visit from time to time.
Gongliang didn't drink much, but he was still very energetic, and after packing up all the things in the house, he sat on the bed. Thinking quietly, thinking about the bits and pieces of coming to Yanbe, I only felt that everything suddenly felt like a dream.
The night gradually dissipated, and the sky appeared hazy white.
Gongliang got up, grabbed the two big baskets he had prepared, and carried them on his back, then picked up the huge bones, took the round ball and the chicken, lifted the curtain of the door, and strode out.
Tao was called by him to drink last night, and it was a tribal warrior who was not very familiar with the gate of the village, and when he saw him carrying a big basket on his back and going out with round and small chickens, he couldn't help but wonder: "Ah Liang, you went out so early?"
"Hmm..."Gongliang nodded with a smile, didn't say anything, and left.
When he reached the bottom of the slope of the walled gate, he turned around and forgot about the tribe, and resolutely turned to leave.
On the boulder, Yanbe Wudan and Mabe Wuerbo watched him slowly walk away.
After a long time, Erbo asked, "Can he really leave the ancestral land?"
"Yes. Dan said with a decisive cut of gold.
Gongliang's departure did not cause much shock in the tribe, not even a ripple. Because he used to go out hunting from time to time, and he went there for a long time, and everyone got used to it. It wasn't until more than ten days later, when everyone didn't see him come back, that they realized that something was wrong.
The people who cared about him suddenly became chaotic, and everyone had different opinions.
Until Wu Fa said: He followed the footsteps of the former Wu and went to distant places to find the departing tribe.
Everyone just understood.
For a while, some people miss it, and some people yearn for it.
Only Isha was crying silently in secret.
Originally, she thought that as long as she took the initiative and worked hard, she could find a long-term meal ticket, but now it was all gone.
