Chapter 150 Guidance from Ancestors

"Ling! Ling!"

Grandma opened her sleepy eyes and looked out of the cave in a daze. She faintly heard a gentle call, but she couldn't believe her ears.

Did you hear me wrong?

"Ling! Ling!"

The voice sounded again, this time she heard it clearly, someone was calling her, calling her name.

Familiar and unfamiliar names.

How long has it been since I heard this name?She can't remember.

After her elders and peers passed away one after another, no one called her that way anymore, and she was no longer the ignorant and mischievous Ling.

She is a grandma, a long-lived grandma, a calm grandma, a respected and trusted grandma.

"Ling! Ling!"

The sound of calling brought back the memories buried deep in her heart. Those memories were distant and blurred, but those people were always as clear as yesterday.

Who is calling?Who remembers my name now?
Grandma looked around the cave, everyone was still asleep, and the night watchman was nowhere to be seen, probably out to defecate and pee.

She gritted her teeth and stood up, ready to endure the pain.

The expected pain did not come.

The pain seems to be dormant with the winter insects, fish, birds and animals.

She regained her spirits and walked out of the cave quickly.

"Ling! You're here!"

Standing under the brilliant starry sky, the young man was wearing an out-of-season leaf dress, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyebrows were smiling, and his smile was as gentle as the moonlight.

Grandma froze for a moment, a clear light appeared in her muddy pupils, she stared blankly at the young man in front of her, and shouted with trembling lips, "Brother...Brother."

Eagle, her own brother.She was very pleasantly surprised, and the complex emotions that followed filled her heart, so she didn't have time to think about how her brother appeared here, and why he was still the same as before, so young, strong, gentle, and full of vitality.

He should have been as good a hunter as Tiger Head.

Ying said, "Ling, come with me to see Mom. Mom has something to tell you."

She followed the eagle's footsteps and left without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, she even forgot her clansman and her mother's identity, as if she had turned back into the lively and willful girl before, with only her mother in her heart.

She wanted to see her mother very much, since the day her mother left.

The eagle walked very fast, like flying.

She followed closely behind, feeling that her body was light and weightless, as if she could float up with just a gust of wind.

Maybe Chang'e felt this way when she flew to the moon... She suddenly had such an idea.

The seasons go backwards as the two walk like flying, the weather is getting warmer, the white snow disappears, the broad-leaved trees in the mountain forest sprout new leaves, the tender grass puts green clothes on the earth, and the bushes are dotted with patches of crimson in different shades, Tawny flowers.

In the blink of an eye, they had climbed over the mountains and came to the prairie. The golden sun shone on the land, and the endless grass swayed like waves. New twigs and budding wild flowers could be seen everywhere. Herds of cattle and sheep were Wandering aimlessly on the grassland, the woman rides on the back of one of the oxen, leisurely and contentedly.

"mom!"

She rushed excitedly to the woman riding the bull, her mother, Teng Ye.

Fujino turned over and got off the cow, opened his arms, and gave his daughter a long-lost hug.

She stroked her daughter's hair that was no longer smooth, and patted her skinny back.

Ling looked up at her mother's still young face, her nose was sore, tears welled up in her eyes, she choked up and said, "Mom, brother, I'm sorry..."

"Stupid child! Mom has already said that I don't blame you, and brother Ni has never blamed you either."

Vine Leaf wiped away the tears from the corners of her daughter's eyes, and said softly: "Your performance after becoming the chief, I and Ying have seen it, and all the ancestors have seen it. You have done a good job, and we are proud of you."

Ling with teary eyes couldn't help showing a happy smile. Her mother's pride in her was the greatest recognition for her.

With such a sentence, her life is worth it.

She looked at her mother, then at her brother, and couldn't help but ask, "You... how are you doing?"

Fujinoha said with a smile: "We live in a place where there is no cold weather, and there is endless food. We are fine."

Ling looked around, and there was no end to the lush green grass. The warm sunshine covered the earth with a faint romantic golden color, and the gentle wind blew past it from time to time, blowing waves of grass.

It turns out that the sky is so beautiful.

Knowing that her mother and brother were doing well, she was very relieved and her smile became brighter.

"I pray every day, I hope I can see you and never be separated again. You must have heard my voice, that's why brother came to pick me up?"

"Your prayers have been heard and your wishes will come true, but not now."

Fujihua changed the subject, and said seriously: "Ling, there is a very important matter, you must go back and deal with it! Every cold day in the future will only become colder, longer and more difficult. You must lead The clansman left the cave where you live now, and migrated to a warmer place, it is best to start when the warm weather comes!"

Ling was stunned, she was immersed in the joy of reuniting with her relatives, and it took a while to realize that her mother was talking to her about something serious, and the matter was important, so she also looked up and asked: "Which direction are you going, where are you going?" Woolen cloth?"

Fujiba said: "You can ask the sky, the ancestors have given him guidance. Well, child, mother came to you just to tell you about this. Go back, go back to your people, and tell them the news , get them ready to go.”

……

Grandma's consciousness has awakened, her eyes are still closed, she doesn't want to wake up, she wants to talk to her mother and brother again, even if she doesn't speak, just leaning quietly in her mother's arms is good enough.

The sounds of people and footsteps in the ear gradually became louder.

She remembered her mother's instructions.

I have to take care of the kids...at least get this thing done!
She opened her eyes, and she returned to her usual calm and composed appearance.

"Mom is awake!"

Everyone looked at Grandma with a very serious expression.

Song Guo asked: "Grandma, have you dreamed about your ancestors? Have you received any guidance from your ancestors?"

Grandma nodded, and the familiar pain reminded her all the time that she had returned to reality and her clan.

Enduring the pain, she said without changing her face: "I dreamed about my mother, and she told me that the cold weather will get colder and longer in the future, and we must leave here and migrate to a warmer place."

"Same!" Pine Cone said excitedly, "We got the same guidance!"

Before Grandma woke up, Pine Cone, Snake Mother, Miao, Kui, Gao Shan, and Huabao all confirmed each other, and now they have Grandma's testimony again, so everyone has to treat it with caution.

Leave the cave where your ancestors lived for generations and migrate to distant unknown places!

This is something they have never thought about, even if it is the guidance of their ancestors, everyone still finds it difficult to accept it for a while.

Even more shocking than them were the black bears.

The chiefs of the various tribes all dreamed of their ancestors, who told them the same thing, apparently because they had performed sacrificial rituals during the day.

It is not the first time that black bears have heard of the guidance given to them by their ancestors.

As early as at the tribal meeting, Tian had said similar things to him and Shanxi, and he didn't take it seriously at the time, but seeing this scene now, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the silent young man who seemed to be in deep thought.

Zhang Tian was not in deep thought, he was in pain.

In the name of his ancestors, he gave dreams to the chiefs of various tribes and earth priests, consuming a total of 70 faith points. His hard-earned faith points fell to 193 overnight, and his wealth shrank by a quarter!

Dreams vary from person to person, and he can only decide the key information to be conveyed. He also knows what kind of dream everyone had and which ancestor they dreamed of after hearing the stories of the chiefs.

In any case, his goal has been achieved, and the effect of letting his ancestors show up to speak out is far stronger than his bare mouth and white teeth.

Grandma said: "My mother also told me that if I have any questions, I can ask God, and my ancestors have given him guidance."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Tian.

Zhang Tian took advantage of the situation and said: "My ancestors gave me guidance a long time ago, and my ancestors also knew that this decision is not easy to make. If it is not forced, who would be willing to leave the cave where they have lived for generations and go to an unknown distance? But the ancestors repeatedly emphasized that we It has to be done, it's about the survival of the tribe."

Ascending to the level of group survival, everyone cheered up and their faces became more solemn.

"If the cold weather in the future is as cold and long as it is now, maybe our generation can survive it, but when the children's generation comes, there will be no wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and the earth will no longer grow grains, no food, and people You can only gnaw on the bark, but Grandma said that gnawing on the bark can't make you live, it can only make people less hungry before death."

On the matter of gnawing the bark, the Dahe Tribe had a great say, and everyone looked at each other palely, and no one wanted their children to fall into such a miserable situation.

Zhang Tian understood people's thoughts very well, and immediately said: "We are migrating to warmer places while the food is still plentiful, and we have a great hope of success. This is not for ourselves, but for our children, for our descendants , When there is no food, it will be too late for them to migrate, and the only thing waiting for them is death.”

"For the sake of the healthy growth of the children and the continuation of the tribe, what is it worth taking a little risk?"

These words touched everyone's heart, especially the mothers, who empathized fiercely. Aoi looked at the innocent and ignorant daughter, and her expression became more determined. She only had He as a daughter. For her daughter, she was willing to do anything. .

Mother Snake has the most children and the deepest empathy. She couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going to migrate? Did our ancestors point us in the right direction?"

Asking this question means that she has accepted the proposal of relocation and is considering how to implement it.

Zhang Tian said: "Our ancestors have already made arrangements. In fact, we already have an excellent guide, so we don't have to worry about going in the wrong direction and failing to reach our destination."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing who the guide in Tiankou was.

Xiao was the first to react, and said loudly: "It's Lin! Lin comes from Taoyuan, where there are fragrant flowers everywhere, cattle and sheep everywhere, and there are so many fat fish in the river that it can hardly be squeezed in. With a spear, you can string four or five fish. Once the lid is lifted, there will be stupid ducks flying into the bowl...as long as you get there, you will have nothing to eat!"

He listened to Lin talk about the richness of Taoyuan every day, and Xiao Xiao had already memorized her descriptions fluently.

Everyone looked at the young wizard in unison.

Lin Yu said: "Everyone should have heard my story. I came here following the guidance of my ancestors and found the people who had been lost for many years. The purpose of my ancestors doing this was to hope that I would lead everyone to my former homeland. Just as Xiao said that there are abundant materials and warm land, which is very suitable for growing grains.”

Everyone suddenly realized.

All the unusual things are strung together!Tian who received guidance, Lin who came from afar... It turns out that the ancestors have been preparing for this migration from the very beginning!The ancestors really broke their hearts for them!
Thinking of this, they suddenly had confidence. Their ancestors had already achieved this level, so what are they still afraid of?

Zhang Tian hit the rails while it was hot: "Our ancestors hoped that we would set off in warm weather. If everyone agrees, we can go on the road together and take care of each other."

This is a matter of life and death, and the chief can't make his own decisions. People from all tribes gather together and discuss in a low voice.

After hearing so many legendary stories of their ancestors, the Dahe Tribe is no longer the old-fashioned and rigid Dahe Tribe. In the face of unknown challenges and difficulties, they are full of courage and confidence, and they are also full of yearning and longing for the land of Taoyuan.

Everyone looked at Grandma, waiting for her to make a decision.

Grandma's eyes became misty and far away, as if she was caught in a long memory.

After a while, she smiled and said: "Do you still remember those big mountains blocking the lower reaches of the river? When I was a child, I often looked at those distant and tall mountains, thinking that when I grow up, I must go to the mountains." Take a look over there. Boys, I know you feel the same way, so go! Go over there!"

Even Grandma said so, there was nothing to hesitate, and everyone was very excited.

Seeing that the clansmen reached an agreement, Zhang Tian and Lin Yu looked at each other, the most difficult step was finally passed, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Aoi and Miao exchanged glances.

The Yougu tribe was originally engaged in migratory agriculture. Burning this mountain this year and burning that mountain next year, their nostalgia for this land is far less than that of other tribes, and after these years of land reclamation, the fertility of the land is weakening day by day. Due to the rejection of nearby tribes, they actually had the desire to migrate elsewhere.

Without any hesitation, they unanimously decided to join the Great River Tribe.

Immediately afterwards, the Big Tree Tribe also stated that they were one of them.

The Snakeskin Tribe, the Giant Rock Tribe, and the Cave Tribe were also happy to follow the guidance of their ancestors, but they said that they would go back and discuss with the rest of the tribe, and when they had a result, they would send messengers to tell the Dahe Tribe.

The members of the Youyan tribe stared wide-eyed and dumbfounded throughout the process.

Hei Xiong never expected such a drastic change after sleeping!
There are a total of nine tribes living in this area, and six of them have the willingness to migrate, and they will leave in warm weather!
There are only three of their ancient tribes left... Hei Xiong can already imagine the deserted scene of the next tribal meeting, and the blood that was still boiling last night is instantly cooled down this morning.
