[Infrastructure] After being mistaken for a god

The tree drum covered with animal skin was slapped again, and the brave men stepped on the drum and performed a sacrificial dance in line.

This time, the Sumerian tribe officially held a ceremony to celebrate the merger of the Sumerian and Kashan tribes.

After all, it was Yi Nan who personally agreed to the former leader of Kashan, Baitou, to hold such a ceremony when he received the remaining people of the Kashan tribe.Both she and the Sumerians have personalities that must be practiced, so this ceremony was not rushed because of the death of the white head.

Yinan even secretly hoped that more people would see this grand ceremony of tribal merger - this means that the once proud and lonely hunting tribe is finally willing to join the farming tribe for the future of themselves and their loved ones. And work hard.

The more people get together and work together, the easier it is to live a farming lifestyle—that’s what the Agricultural Revolution is about.

Everyone in the tribe, men, women, young and old, even babies in swaddling clothes, attended the ceremony.

In addition to all the members of the two tribes, several southern tribes that used to have contacts with the Sumerian tribes sent important figures from afar to watch the ceremony.

Inan, the devout "goddess" of the Sumerians, also attended the ceremony in person.She didn't have the slightest airs, she just mixed in with the crowd watching the ceremony, watching the various ceremonies with relish.

It's just that even if she is mixed in the crowd, she is still very eye-catching, so that people can recognize her at first sight:

People from other tribes who came to watch the ceremony all looked in the direction of Yi Nan and whispered; even the Sumerian warriors lined up and stepped on the drums, and occasionally turned their heads to notice Yinan standing behind the crowd, and often lost their rhythm and lost their feet. .

Guests watching the ceremony: The goddess is really approachable!

Yi Nan just focused on his observations: this is all great first-hand information!

The person who presided over the ceremony was still the figure of the elder of the Sumerian tribe, and he was now honored as "Wizard Picture".During his tenure as a "shaman", the tribe ushered in the coming of the true god, resisted the flood, and merged with the Kashan tribe... Such achievements are enough for Tu Ye to get a good title.

Of course, everyone in the tribe knew that Dan was the best candidate to succeed Wu.

Wizard Tu is indeed an experienced elder, and he commanded the ceremony grandly and solemnly.

However, the most eye-catching thing in the whole ceremony is not the enthusiastic dance steps of the brave men, but a pair of large clay pots placed in the middle of the ceremony scene, surrounded by the brave men dancing.

The Sumerians were able to fire clay pots, and this news has already spread.Tribes that interacted with the Sumerians even received gifts from the tribe—but those were small pieces of pottery.No one would have imagined that the Sumerians could fire such a large, well-proportioned, round pottery that stood firmly on the ground.

The most surprising thing is that the surface of the pottery pot, which was originally unpretentious, now has beautiful patterns:

The pattern is crimson, just a simple and repetitive geometric shape, but it makes this clay pot different from other pottery with a dull appearance.

In addition to geometric lace, there is also a set of ritual patterns drawn with simple lines on the pots.This group of patterns only uses dots and lines to outline the shapes of the dancing heroes.The picture is concise and vivid, full of vitality.

The leaders from other tribes looked left and right, and the more they looked, the more realistic they felt. They pointed to the two clay pots and asked Ku:

"Is this what Goddess Yi Nan instructed you to do?"

At this time, Ku was a little embarrassed: "Yes, it was the goddess who gave instructions, but it was drawn by a few children in the tribe. You are laughing, everyone!" The adults are busy with construction and don't pay much attention to artistic creation.

"Tsk tsk, what a lovely pair of clay pots! We'd like to trade a pot of wild honey for a pair of these, Ku, is that okay?"

Hearing the request from one of the tribal leaders, the others were also a little anxious: "Ku, our tribe wants to exchange ten sheepskins for a pair. Give us first!"

All of a sudden, the leaders of the southern tribes bid one after another, and everyone wanted to get a pottery pot made with God's guidance from the Sumerian tribe.There were two people who were blushing and had thick necks, and even seemed to want to call their respective heroes to fight.

"No, no, stop arguing, Sumerian clay pots are not for sale!"

Ku spoke a little hastily, causing the people who were still arguing to turn their faces together at this moment, looking at Ku with the same hatred.

"This is too stingy!"

But Ku said honestly: "It's not that I won't sell it to you, but you don't need to buy it! This is what Goddess Inan said. The Sumerian tribe will not hold back the technology of firing clay pots, and will disclose it to everyone. "

"Really?!" The heads of several other tribes were surprised at first, and then immediately beamed with joy, "This is great!"

This is exactly what Inan thinks: she believes that the technology of firing pottery does not belong to her, and that as long as every tribe wants to learn, they should have the opportunity to learn from her.

Coincidentally, the Sumerian tribe also believed that the goddess Inan did not belong to the Sumerian tribe, and that other tribes should have the opportunity to accept the grace of the goddess if they wanted to receive the grace of the goddess.

Now all the tribal leaders felt at ease, and at the same time, they all made up their minds to make good friends with the Sumerians: After all, there is a goddess on the side of Sumer, so even if they have water in their heads, they can't fool around. Offend the blessed tribe.

Against the Sumerians, Kashan is a lesson from the past.

Unexpectedly, when the ceremony was about to end, news suddenly came from the entrance of the Sumerian tribe's resident village: the brave man in charge of the tribe's sentinel was around the tribe and caught three spies from outside.

It's a lot of fun now.The three spies were immediately brought to the ceremony site for interrogation, and soon confessed all the truth: they came from the middle reaches of the Euphrates River, and came from two other tribes that lived on hunting.

Because of the flooding of the Euphrates River and the lack of prey, the two tribes coveted the vast land downstream. They sent spies here to find out the truth, so that the tribes could come later, expand their territories, and take the vast land downstream into their pockets.

"The Sumerian tribe?" The spies asked in surprise after hearing the name of the tribe in front of them, "We have never heard of this name. We have only heard of Kashan and Whitehead in the lower reaches of the Euphrates River."

The name "Baitou" caused a commotion among the crowd.

Compared with the peace-loving farming tribe Sumer, it is obvious that the white heads from Kashan have a greater deterrent effect.

Yi Nan, who was standing behind the crowd, felt a little heavy when he heard the name "Baitou"——

Baitou was the first brave man who died on the spot in front of her after she came to ancient times.And the rebellious look in Baitou's eyes when he was about to die is really unforgettable.

It took Yi Nan a little time to recover from the shock caused by Baitou's death: she always felt that she had no right to take the life of any ancestor, and Baitou's death was somewhat related to her.

In fact, Baitou died from an accidental injury when the flood came.Inan did not cause any substantial damage to Baitou or Kashan; on the contrary, some members of Kashan were saved because they defected to the Sumerian tribe.

But the problem is that in this era, there are still many tribes and brave men like Kashan and Baitou, and they still insist on their ancient cognition.Are these tribes going to repeat the Kashan story over and over again?Did the Sumerians have to experience more strife, conflict and killing before they could witness the rise of the agricultural revolution?

really--

"Farming?" A spy blurted out in surprise after hearing about the situation of the Sumerian tribe: "We have heard of farming! But farming is so hard, it doesn't seem that your life is much better than ours!"

Wizard Tu turned his face to look at the leader Ku and the young Dan next to Ku.Several people invariably remembered what Ku said back then.

And Baitou, the mighty leader of the Kashan tribe in the past, also thought so.

"God-blessed tribe? God asked you to farm?" Another spy also expressed disbelief, "Is this a lie? Anyone who believes is stupid!"

"I can release you, but please also tell the leaders of your own tribes—we, the Sumerians, will swear to the death to defend our homeland from infringement!" Ku said loudly, "We will protect this hard-won Life."

The leader Ku frowned tightly, staring at the three spies, his eyes flashed with anger, and at the same time revealed his determination.

After the previous battle with Kashan and the struggle against the flood, even when faced with threats, Ku has only one sentence to offer: Sumerians, never be afraid!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the three spies raised their heads at the same time, their eyes wide open, and looked at Ku in surprise.Ku was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the three spies were actually looking behind him.

The light behind Ku became brighter and brighter, as if a dazzling sun had appeared out of nowhere, and a long shadow was drawn in front of him—his own.The shadow is getting shorter and shorter, as if the "sun" is rising.

As soon as Ku turned around and saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was also taken aback immediately, his knees softened, and he knelt down directly.

Dan, who had been by Ku's side all the time, leaped out, looked in the direction of the sun, and shouted loudly: "Yinan!"

In front of people's eyes, every inch of Yinan's body is emitting bright light, which is so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it.

She is standing in the air, no, to be precise, her body is rising.

Her body was so light that it could be blown away by a gust of wind, but it was also like a vigorous bird hovering in the air, staying firmly in the sky, forcing everyone to look up.Her long brown-black hair was blown away by the warm wind, and she was flying lightly in the air. Her beautiful and moving face was looking down, looking at the tribal residents who had been with her day and night on the ground.

Everyone who saw this scene with their own eyes: the newly merged Sumerian tribes, important friends who came to watch the ceremony, and hostile spies from afar... The faces of the people were either shocked or pious.They bowed down in front of Yinan one after another, without exception.

All those rash doubts and disbelief were smashed to pieces on the spot in front of this scene.The spies who uttered nonsense earlier were already lying on the ground trembling.

Wizard Tu's voice sounded again, reciting a new eulogy.He led all the people present to witness this unprecedented miracle.

The author has something to say: At this point, the story of the Sumerian tribe in the middle Neolithic Age is basically finished, and the story about the vigorous boy Dan will come to an end. After that, Yinan will face a new era and new challenges.
