Original War

Chapter 228 Return

The rain rushed across the earth.

With the advent of the rainy season, among the big rivers, those huge river overlords are migrating once a year.

In the river, invisible places, there are many aquatic creatures, doing similar behaviors to these river overlords.

Compared with the liveliness in the river, the Yanjiao tribe seemed much quieter. Except for some guards distributed everywhere, most people stayed at home.

A bug that didn’t know where it came from was moving its countless claws and crawling into the house quickly.

Snapped!

A wolf paw slapped it fiercely, flattening the bug that was about to enter the house.

Caesar was lying in the room. It almost filled the space of the hall. He rested his head at the door, like a door god, and immediately shot to death if he wanted to climb into the room.

Old Ke stood in the room where he usually polished the stone tools, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, with hope in his eyes.

Behind him, wooden boxes that had already been packed were lying there. In the corners of the house, there were some old stone boxes of different sizes, but they couldn’t be taken away.

“It’s almost, it’s almost…”

In the tribe, there are quite a few people like Lao Ke, who have already packed the things at home. Because of the limited space, everyone has restrictions on what they can bring. If you want to bring more, you must report it and get permission. Otherwise, When the time comes, just throw it away. If anyone really is reluctant to bear the things at home, then he will stay here and keep company with those things.

On the top of the mountain, Shao Xuan watched Wu stand by the fire pond, thinking something.

During this time, Wu would come here every day.

Wu said that this is a kind of ceremony, a kind of farewell ceremony. When the rainy season is over, the tribe will leave this place where they have lived for nearly a thousand years, and the fire will naturally be taken away.

The fire in the fire pond, whether it is raining, snowing, or strong winds, the flame remains the same without any influence.

After today’s ceremony was completed, Wu turned and left the firepit and walked towards Shao Xuan.

“A Xuan, what will happen after Yan Jiao returns to his hometown?” Wu asked.

Shao Xuan thought for a while and said, “I won’t be calm anymore.”

“Yes, it’s not calm anymore.” Wu looked at the vast river in the distance. Although his tone was emotional, the firmness in his eyes never changed.

Ao next to him did not speak, his face was joyful, and his clenched fists showed that he was still excited at the moment. He is the leader. In the future, even after his death, the descendants of the Yanjiao tribe will still remember him. This is an important turning point in the history of the tribe, and their names will all be recorded on the hide scroll passed on to future generations. This is the supreme glory.

After standing at the top of the mountain, Wu, Shao Xuan, and Ao returned to the stone house, where the two big bosses and several other old men had arrived.

“Okay, today I will confirm my return plan again.” Ao spread out a piece of animal skin and said.

Every two days, this group of people would gather here, and it would be frustrating if only one day came to discuss, and as an important member, Shao Xuan was often called up, who made him the only person with sailing experience.

————

When the rainy season finally ended, people who had been silent for a rainy season became excited.

Time to leave.

Although for many of them, this place is more like an ancestral land. Their grandfather’s grandfathers, grandfather’s grandfathers, and so on, are all born here and leave here. It’s impossible, but Wu said that the ancestral land of the Yanjiao tribe was not here, so they believed, and returned with the hope of their ancestors.

The people on the mountain came down the mountain with large and small boxes, men and women, young and old, in groups, from the path of glory, down the mountain, perhaps, this was the last time they took this road in their lives.

A child holding his own animal skin bag, followed his parents down the mountain, walked halfway, looked back in the direction of his house, and for some reason, he cried.

Put a big rough hand on the child’s head and turn his head to the front, “Look at the road, don’t look back.”

“Um.”

At the foot of the mountain, the grid and other people who are usually responsible for delivering food to the cave command the children in the cave to leave.

Chacha grabbed the boxes that Old Ke had tied up, and lifted the boat that flew to the artificial lake. Caesar carried Old Ke on his back and went to the lake with the others down the mountain.

Who should take which boat, this has been arranged long ago, and everyone has adapted to the boat for a period of time, so that they won’t become unwell immediately after boarding.

Shao Xuan was called by the witch to go up to the mountain to help. The witch had the most things in it. Others’ boxes could be reduced. The witch’s box was not good. Even if the witch wanted to reduce it, other people would not want it. Those were all left by the ancestors.

The soldiers who helped carry the boxes were as careful as they were holding fragile objects, their faces were respectful, their bodies stiff, and they had to be cautious when taking any step.

After moving, Shao Xuan went to Lao Ke to check the situation, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he came to the mountain.

Before going up the mountain, Shao Xuan went to the cave to take a look.

He woke up and was in this hole in the blink of an eye, and it has been so long.

When he came to the stone room with mural paintings, Shao Xuan looked at the painting on the cave wall, his eyes stopped at the end of the painting, and after thinking about it, Shao Xuan carved a few words with a stone knife in the blank space behind– We went back to our hometown.

After I wrote it, I engraved the word “Xuan” at the end of the sentence.

Standing up, Shao Xuan blocked the vent with stones and thatch, and then walked outside.

A gust of wind blew by, and there was an undissipated fishy smell in the wind.

Shao Xuan looked at the stone wall near the entrance of the cave. There were also the words carved on it when he hadn’t awakened the power of the totem, and the paintings painted with charcoal branches.

In addition to Shao Xuan’s paintings, there are various traces left by the children living here for nearly a thousand years, including fish bones left after gnawing, shabby animal skins, and messy thatch…

When he walked out of the cave, Shao Xuan moved the big stone not far away, blocking the entrance of the cave and covering everything in the cave.

When he went up the mountain, the things had already been moved, and there was nothing to do with him, but Wu didn’t let him leave.

Not only Shao Xuan, the leader Ao, the two big bosses, the leaders of the hunting teams such as Mai, and the old men who are always involved in the discussion, did not leave.

Wu took them to the top of the mountain, and when they came down, Wu had already held a small flame in his hand. It was much smaller than when it was in the fire pond. Wu cautiously held it in his palm.

Next to the leader Ao Zuowu, Guize, as the future witch’s successor, took the crutch and stood on the other side slightly behind Ao. The others are guarding around.

When walking down the Road of Glory, there were two rows of warriors standing on each side of the road. Among these people, none of them were below the level of the intermediate totem warrior.

When the witch passed by, the warriors standing there would kneel down and give the highest courtesy of the tribe. After the witch left, they would get up and follow behind, each with their eyes red.

Walking down the road of glory, and then walking to the artificial lake where 23 ships had stopped, Wu didn’t walk fast, but no one complained. Those who had already boarded the ship did not have the slightest impatience.

The largest one has docked, and the wooden ladder is lowered from above.

On the ship, there was a small firepit, only the size of a basin. After the witch took the fire up, he placed it in it.

After Wu was over there, Ao announced that he would set sail.

Woo-

The sound of the bone horn sounded, and the people in charge on each ship immediately commanded the people to set sail.

They have received training, and although they are not as proficient as Shao Xuan in control, they are still do-it-yourself.

Boats left the artificial lake one after another, the gate of the waterway from the lake to the river was opened, and the boats sailed out of the waterway and came to the big river.

Above.

“Okay, now everyone must be careful, and be careful not to fall behind!” Ao roared.

The fleet went further and further, and the mountain where the tribe was located gradually became smaller in view. Everything that Shao Xuan had experienced back then, everyone will experience it again this time.

Under the water, large and small piranhas are active. If you stand by the side of the boat and look down, you can see a lot of big fishes that are longer than humans, swimming by, and sometimes rubbing against the boat, causing the boat to sway.

As he sailed, Shao Xuan, who had been checking the situation on each ship, discovered that the farther the ship is from the central ship, the more likely it is to be disturbed by fish.

At first, Shao Xuan didn’t understand, and there were various speculations, but when Shao Xuan thought about it and looked at it with a special ability vision, he found that the light radiated from the big ship in the center and touched the nearest ship. A few of them, and those few, are rarely hit by fish.

Tinder? !

Grasping the chirping eagle’s feet, Shao Xuan walked from the ships in the outer circle of the fleet to the central ship, and told Wu He about his own discovery and speculation, but he didn’t talk about his special abilities.

“The reason for the fire?” Wu thought for a while, and his eyes lit up, “Yes, fire can protect the tribe from other wild beasts and beasts. The same is true for the fish in the river.”

With that said, the witch recites the witch curse, just like the time of sacrifice, allowing the fire to expand from a small flame to the entire fire pool, but the temporary fire pool on the ship is much smaller.

“Let everyone get close.” Wu said to Ao.

Ao went out and told everyone about the meaning of Wu. The other ships were moving closer to this side, but they shouldn’t be too close. If they were too close, accidents could easily happen.

When he walked out of the cabin, Shao Xuan looked again. The light from the big ship in the center was brighter and expanded a little outward, just to envelop the approaching ship.

Afterwards, although the boats were occasionally rubbed by some overly curious big fishes, the number of times was much less, much better than when Shao Xuan sailed alone.

Day by day, the fleet sailed fairly smoothly. In order to seize the time, in addition to the sails, there were people on each of the boats rotating oars. Although there is no chirp pulling the boat this time, the speed of the boat is acceptable. Once the direction is determined, it will go straight there, unless it is blocked by the carcasses of some large fish floating on the water, or it will avoid certain dangerous factors. Outside of driving, they always sail in a straight line as much as possible. After all, if you can’t reach the opposite bank before the river descends, your previous efforts will be abandoned. In that case, the Yanjiao tribe will really have to completely withdraw from the stage of history.

At the same time, the weird feeling in Shao Xuan’s heart came again.

This time with fire and protection and more manpower, Shao Xuan also had a little more free time. He used this free time to carefully observe the surrounding river surface, not even letting go of the clouds, moon, starlight, etc. in the sky.

Shao Xuan suddenly had a guess in his heart.

Perhaps this river is not as big as he thought.
