Chapter 144 Night of the Full Moon (Two in One)

Lin Yu finally changed into the new clothes she had dreamed of. The clean, comfortable and warm fur coat lifted her spirits. The state of her dance practice in the past few days is obviously better and more excited.

A wizard who cannot dance is not a good wizard.

Whether standing or sitting, Dr. Lin has a scholarly demeanor. He even speaks in a gentle manner. When he talks about it, he is especially relaxed when he dances. His disheveled hair looks like a madman.

There is also Xiao Xiao who can let go.

Lin Yu decided to make it harder for him, teaching him Tie Shan Kao alone, and choreographing a solo dance for him.

Xiao was very happy. The first time he saw Lin doing this action, he had inexplicable feelings, and his shoulders couldn't help shaking. Now that he has studied systematically, he finds it even more interesting, and he can't stop at all.

The music is rather troublesome. After all, the boy scouts formed by Zhang Tian are a group of rookies who have no performance experience. They only rely on rote memorization. tiger.

Of course, this did not satisfy Lin Yu. Although she taught the women the simplest and most basic dance moves, the combination of nursery rhymes is too outrageous!
However, with the existing conditions, we can't expect too much. Think about the dry sacrificial dance of the Yan tribe, and now there is music and dance matching, which is already a huge breakthrough, and it is more than enough to shock the primitive people.

Lin Yu could only choose Little Xingxing with tears in his eyes. Compared with Tiger, Xingxing is obviously more relevant.

Zhang Tian saw her desire for performance, and said with a smile: "How about I accompany you alone, and you also perform a solo dance for everyone?"

"true and false?"

Lin Yu didn't have the nerve to agree, but her sparkling eyes and the corners of her lips that could not restrain the upward movement had already shown her attitude.

Zhang Tian laughed and asked, "Can you dance classical dance?"

"That's what I asked! Didn't I teach them classical dance moves? Besides, don't you think I have the temperament of a classical beauty?"

Lin Yu held her head high and her chest high confidently. After taking the ancient exams for so many years, she thought she was a bit ancient.

Zhang Tian looked at her for a while, and he said that people depend on their clothes. Maybe she would look stunning in Hanfu, but with her current outfit, she doesn't have the slightest classical temperament, but she is full of savage temperament.

He refused to comment, and only said: "Then I'll play some ancient songs for you to listen to, and you can see if there are any suitable ones."

"it is good!"

Lin Yu was in a great mood, and his smile brightened accordingly.

Dancing is one of her few hobbies, but her level is very average. She usually dances wild dances, and there are few serious stages for her to perform.

But in this era, it is no exaggeration to say that her dancing skills are unrivaled in the world and unrivaled. Now that the opportunity is in front of her, she must of course show her talents and give the primitive people a little beauty shock.

The Dahe tribe is making intensive preparations for the upcoming ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Apart from music and dancing, Zhang Tian explained the whole process clearly to his fellow tribesmen, and also rehearsed many times.

Everyone was in high spirits, regardless of whether they participated in the sacrifice or not, everyone enjoyed it, and the days of being trapped in a cave were no longer boring.

To Zhang and Lin's surprise, Grandma decided to go to the Dashu tribe with her tribe.

Lin Yu was not without worries. She knew her mother's physical condition better than anyone else, and the risk of traveling far away was already high, not to mention braving the severe cold.

Grandma's attitude was quite firm. She said seriously, "This is the first time we worship the sky and our ancestors. I must be present."

Grandma abides by her duties as a chief, but also has her own selfishness.

She looked at the star closest to the moon, the star her mother had turned into, and she often gazed at it at night when she couldn't sleep.

The sky said that when offering sacrifices to the sky, the ancestors could hear every word the children said.

She has something to say to her mother, and to her most respected elder.

……

Time passed day by day, and on this day, heavy snow fell from the sky.

After waking up, the earth is covered with snow, and the flawless whiteness softens the familiar outline of distant mountains. The bushes are covered with soft snow caps, the coniferous trees are covered with gorgeous new clothes, and the desolate and desolate forests are covered with pure white. coat.

The heavy snow washes away the dust, the sun is exceptionally bright, but there is no temperature at all, and the smooth, perfect white snow reflects the dazzling light.

The children wrapped in thick coats screamed and rushed out of the cave, chasing each other and running to the snow, and soon made a mess of footprints on the smooth, perfect, dazzling snow.

Zhang Tian was the fastest and happiest kid. As a southerner, he had never seen such a spectacular and romantic snow scene.

Children run on the snow, stepping on their own footprints repeatedly, forming complex patterns.

Men used long wooden sticks to clear snow from the wooden roof before it would crush the shoddy, scumbag project.

Zhang Tian climbed up the exposed rock, and the snow on the top of the rock had been blown clean by the wind.

He looked into the distance, and the tall and majestic mountains had long been turned into white oceans, and there was a faint blue light, shining brightly in the sun.

"Snapped!"

A snowball hit him in the arm.

Lin Yu smiled slyly, and immediately threw a second snowball.

Zhang Tian jumped off the rock, picked up the soft snow, kneaded it into a ball, and fought back at her.

The children immediately joined the battle, and the confrontation between the two turned into a multi-person melee in an instant. Snowballs flew all over the sky, and laughter and screams echoed in the silent forest.

How could Lin Yu have played with these brats? Her fellow countryman was especially ruthless, staring at her and beating her alone, without giving her a chance to breathe.

She was quickly defeated, and hid in the cave in a panic, took off the animal skin gloves, took a few breaths, and drank some hot tea.

She saw Bai and several other younger children making snow to play in, making big and small piles of various shapes.

Or this kind of quiet activity is more suitable for her.

She put on her gloves again, walked over and said, "Let's make a snowman!"

"snowman?"

The children looked at her with great doubts on their small faces.

"I'll teach you."

Lin Yu rolled two snowballs, one large and one small, and piled the small snowball on top of the big snowball. He randomly picked two branches and inserted them on both sides of the big snowball, one on the left and one on the right. For the eyes and mouth, use a stubby wooden stick as a nose.

The children watched the chubby and chubby snowmen gradually taking shape, and laughed happily. The snowman made by the wizard is much more playful than the snow blocks they piled up indiscriminately!Immediately follow suit and build snowmen.

The second heavy snow fell that night.

This heavy snow was accompanied by a strong wind, whizzing across the desolate mountains and forests, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

There is no more romance and joy, the temperature dropped sharply, the piercing cold wind poured in from the gap in the door curtain, the flames flickered, and every time he came out of the hole, the strong wind would hit the sharp needles on Zhang Tian's face, causing unbearable pain .

The blizzard lasted for three days.

The snow fell completely, and the sky was clear and blue, as if it had been washed by water, like an endless piece of blue crystal without a trace of impurities, so beautiful that it was unreal, and the mountains and forests were covered with thick snow, making travel more difficult .

However, this difficulty cannot stop people's yearning for the sky and respect for their ancestors.

According to the agreement, the other tribes are about to set off, perhaps already on their way.

The Yougu tribe will go directly to the Big Tree tribe. The Snakeskin, Juyan and Cave tribes will come to the Dahe tribe first. The Snakeskin tribe is closer. If you start today, you can arrive tomorrow. two or three days.

"Come and see the moon!"

Xiao Xiao shouted, and everyone walked out of the cave and looked up at the sky.

It was another full moon night, perhaps because of the blizzard just now, the moonlight and starlight were extraordinarily bright tonight. Even though it was night, the mountains and forests were illuminated transparently and brightly.

The people of the tribe knew nothing about the changes of the moon phase. Although they witnessed the moon becoming round more than once, they never summed up the law.

In fact, they believe that the full moon is a random event, and it is so rare that it takes many days to see it once. Once the full moon appears, it means that something good is about to happen.

Zhang Tian asked Xiao: "Do you remember the last time you saw a full moon?"

"Who can remember this!" Xiao Xiao took it for granted.

"Why don't you make a note of it from now on."

"what?"

Zhang Tian took out a rope from the folds of his coat and handed it to him, and said in a very serious tone: "Every day, I will tie a knot until the next time the moon becomes round. How many days?"

Reason Xiao understands, knotting ropes to remember things, from elementary school to adulthood, but he didn't understand the significance of doing so, he was puzzled, so he asked directly.

Zhang Tian showed a mysterious smile and said, "If you do what I say, you will naturally understand the meaning."

This kind of knowledge cannot be conveyed in words, and it is convincing only if he discovers it by himself.

Xiao Xiao scratched his head, didn't ask any more questions, just tied a knot, it couldn't be easier, he was just worried that he would forget.

But after a few days, he realized that his worry was unnecessary, even if he forgot, God would take the trouble to remind him every day.

Everyone returned to the cave excitedly, talking a lot.

The night of the full moon means that a good thing is approaching, and this good thing is undoubtedly the upcoming ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven!
This is a good omen, and such an auspicious omen appeared just before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, which inevitably aroused people's associations and speculations.

Lan Hua asked Zhang Tian: "Could it be that the ancestors knew that we were going to worship them, so they specially asked the moon to become round to respond to our wishes?"

In the eyes of the tribe, since the ancestors are stars, they are either relatives or close neighbors to the moon. It is normal to ask the moon for help with such trivial matters.

Speaking of this, Zhang Tian suddenly remembered that he still had a well-known fairy tale that he had not shared with his tribe.

His eyes swept over everyone, and everyone was looking at him, waiting for his answer.

Zhang Tianzheng said: "Actually, our ancestors also lived on the moon."

Everyone was taken aback, no one expected such a development.

Zhang Tian continued: "The story I want to tell today is related to this ancestor who lived on the moon."

Tell a story!

The children sat in a row, pricked up their ears, and looked at their brother Tian expectantly.

"A long, long time ago, the moon would not become round, it always had a curved shape. Do you still remember Houyi who shot the sun? Like Fuxi, he also had a younger sister, and his younger sister was called Chang'e."

Zhang Tian changed the relationship between Houyi and Chang'e a little bit. The people in the clan don't have the concept of husband and wife, and there is no corresponding word in the language.

The tribe adopts the extra-ethnic group marriage system, which is a permutation and combination type of marriage. The men and women in the ethnic group randomly mate with the opposite sex outside the ethnic group. This form of marriage is very common in the late Paleolithic and early Neolithic ages. After the development of farming, it will gradually change into a pairing marriage, and only then will the concept of husband and wife come into being.

For the tribesmen, apart from mother and child, the relationship between a man and a woman is brother and sister, which is easier for them to understand.

The men nodded frequently, with a strong sense of substitution, who doesn't have a few good sisters?

"Houyi's younger sister, Chang'e, is very kind and warm-hearted. She takes care of the tribe and treats everyone patiently just like grandma and Lanhua's mother."

"You child... how can I compare with my ancestors and grandma!"

When Lan Hua said this, she was very happy in her heart.

Hearing such an analogy, everyone immediately understood Chang'e's prestige and status in the tribe.

"Hou Yi shot down the nine suns and saved everyone. Although he died, people always remember his feat and appreciate his kindness. This gratitude is transformed into respect and love for his sister Chang'e."

"Later, our ancestor Shennong burned a magic pill with magical flowers and plants. People who took this medicine would not only never grow old and die, but also fly to the sky and live with their ancestors. "

"Shen Nong knew that Chang'e missed her brother, so he gave this pill to Chang'e, telling her that if she took this pill, she would fly to the sky and be reunited with her brother."

Everyone was surprised from ear to ear, they were used to birth, old age, sickness and death, they never thought that there is a magic medicine for immortality in this world, it is simply beyond imagination!But thinking that it was made by the great ancestor Shennong, it makes sense.

Bai asked eagerly, "Then has she eaten?"

Zhang Tian smiled and shook his head: "It's true that Chang'e misses her brother, but she also cares about her people. Her people need her, just like we need Grandma and Mother Lanhua."

"Later, this matter was known by a savage somehow. The savage lived alone in the forest, cold and hungry. He heard that after taking the magic medicine, he would never feel hungry or cold, so he wanted to put Got Chang'e's magic medicine."

"The savage is prowling around like a hyena, waiting for the moment, until one day, he waits until Chang'e is alone!"

"what!"

The children exclaimed, everyone looked nervous, and their hearts were raised in their throats. In their view, the savages were either sick or bad, and it was never a good thing to be targeted by the savages, and they all sweated for Chang'e.

"The savage immediately appeared from the mountain forest. After a long chase, he chased Chang'e to a dead end and forced her to hand over the magic medicine. Chang'e thought to herself, if the savage were allowed to take the medicine of immortality, wouldn't more people be harmed? So she took out the magic medicine and swallowed it in one gulp!"

"Chang'e, who took the magic medicine, felt her body light and light, and she flew up like a bird. She flew away from the earth, flew higher and higher, flew over the vast and vast forest, and flew to the boundless blue sky."

Everyone imagined such a scene, what is it like to fly into the sky?They have no way of knowing, but they know that leaving the ground is a very terrible thing. Many tribesmen fell to their deaths while climbing trees and mountains.

"What about the savage?"

Bai Geng wanted to know the fate of the instigator.

"Where did the savages see such a scene, they were frightened to death on the spot."

"Should!"

The crowd applauded loudly, it was really exciting!
Zhang Tian smiled, and went on to tell: "The people living on the earth saw this scene, and they were shocked and frightened. Some people recognized the flying person as Chang'e, and told the news to Chang'e's people."

"When the people returned to the cave, they did not see Chang'e. They were devastated! They lost the heroic Houyi and the kind and enthusiastic Chang'e. How could they not be sad?"

Everyone was deeply involved in the story, and they couldn't help feeling sad when they heard this.

"The sun sets and the moon rises. That night, like tonight, is also the night of the full moon. They looked up at the sky and called Chang'e's name. At this time, they were surprised to find that there were two swaying figures on the round moon. Exactly like Houyi and Chang'e."

"Shen Nong said: 'Hou Yi and Chang'e are reunited in the sky, we should not feel sad, but happy for them.' So people put out Chang'e's favorite food, looked up at the sky, and blessed the two from afar."

"Since then, every once in a while, the moon will become round. Whenever the moon becomes round, it is the day when Hou Yi and Chang'e are reunited."

When the story came to an end, everyone was still immersed in the story, moved by the happy ending and the emotion between Houyi and Chang'e, their noses were sore, and they also understood that the moon became round because the two ancestors were reunited in the sky.

Lanhua said: "Let's bless them too!"

Everyone walked out of the cave again, looked up at the sky, looked at the bright full moon, and blessed their ancestors from afar.

……

The sacrificial ceremony is just around the corner, and the clansmen began to pack their bags and prepare to leave. Grandma announced the candidates for the ceremony.

Because the Big Tree Tribe is close, and there is no need to carry heavy things for this round trip, and they are one of the hosts, nearly half of the people will go there.

The hunters who participated in the winter hunting before will stay in the cave. Although they are reluctant, the supplies and children of the tribe always need to be guarded. They are undoubtedly the most suitable for them who have just returned from the outside.

The women danced to their heart's content, the children played their bamboo flutes, and the owls scrambled in the snow. Everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming event.

"Owl!"

A cry came from afar.

Xiao stopped practicing, followed the sound, and saw a familiar figure running from the desolate forest.

It's snakeberry!
Waving her arms and smiling all over her face, she excitedly ran towards the owl who was practicing dancing in the snow, but her posture was a little clumsy because of the thick snow that hindered her steps.

Mother Snake led the people of the Snakeskin Tribe to follow behind her. They were also constrained by the road conditions, and it took them half a day longer than before to arrive.

From far away, they heard the melodious sound of the flute from the Great River Tribe. The unprecedented sound made them intoxicated, and they couldn't help slowing down their pace.

　After that, there will be no more chapters, one chapter is better than two chapters!
