Chapter 185 Contact and Communication

[Faith value: 322]

When the stars shone on the earth, the faith value began to rise rapidly, and the rising momentum slowed down after breaking through 300.

The effect of dreaming last night is obvious. The population of the mountain tribe is much larger than them. The exact number of people, Ada and others, is not clear, but it must be far more than 300, and there is still potential to be tapped.

According to the routine of last night, Zhang Tian randomly selected 10 lucky people to entrust their dreams. On the one hand, he expanded the team of missionaries. The real user experience is better than any propaganda slogans.

It is not necessary for everyone to welcome them from the bottom of their hearts, as long as more than half of the people hold a friendly attitude, it is enough for them to walk out of the grassland smoothly.

The faith value has dropped to 222, and I believe there will be a wave of substantial improvement tomorrow night.

People at the bottom of the mountain have no beliefs, so it is relatively easier to accept and pray to the sky. People on the mountain believe in the spirit of fire. If they want to reverse their beliefs in a short time, they can only rely on Dr. Lin, who is also a descendant of Nuwa, to show his power.

According to what A Niu said, Chi Yan and a group of people on the mountain are living in the tribe at the foot of the mountain. After losing their high priest, they will never sit idly by when they learn that a mysterious wizard has the same power.

Even if Chi Yan, who is a priest, does not come in person, he will definitely send someone he trusts.

If everything goes well, the crows should be on their way back by now.

Zhang Tian used a wooden stick to turn the firewood in the fire, thinking about it.

"God! Haven't you slept yet?"

Xiao came back with a happy face. I don't know which tribe's sister I was watching the moon and counting the stars tonight, and I didn't come back until so late after playing.

Although he is very fraternal, Xiao is still a pure and innocent boy now, and he only chats with his sisters, holds hands, flirts with each other, and has never had any in-depth communication.

Of course, it's not because he knows how to be in heat, and it's not because he doesn't have such a high level of awareness, nor is it because he can't do it. The main reason is that the younger sister he has a crush on is still too young and underage, plus the grassland is exposed and exposed to the scorching sun every day, which makes him not so strong.

In the past two days, Xiao found another interesting thing: herding sheep.

After two days of herding sheep with Ah Da, he has already learned this skill, and he has to share his experience every night when he comes back. Zhang Tian guessed that what this kid is saying now, he must have talked with his sisters just now.

"There are more than seventy sheep, put them on the grassland without running or making noise, let them go wherever they want, much more obedient than our lynx!"

As if he understood Xiao Xiao's complaint, Xiaohu raised his head, scratched his long ears with his front paws, and let out a languid cry.

Sheep are one of the easiest animals to domesticate in nature. Of course, cats can’t compare with them. To be honest, these three lynxes have not been gone forever, and they have been trained very successfully. This is due to Lin Yuyi’s persistent training throughout the cold weather.If Dr. Lin traveled to the world of Pokémon, he would definitely be able to do well.

"God, tell me, if we raise a flock of sheep in the future, even more than them, will we not need to hunt? I heard from Ah Da that each ewe can give birth to two or three lambs at a time. As long as there are enough sheep, there will be a steady stream of goat milk and meat!"

Xiao and Ada have a language barrier, and the two can only communicate through simple gestures.

Xiao Xiao obviously did not lose his IQ because of falling in love. When Ah Da mentioned this matter, he immediately realized that this is a very smart method, which is worth learning from.

After listening to the crow's narration, Xiao had some prejudices against the local aborigines, but after spending these two days together, he found that the people at the bottom of the mountain were not purely ignorant and barbaric, and many of their practices also had merit.

"This is a very good idea." Zhang Tian said, "But why limit it to sheep? We can even raise lynx, can't we?"

Xiao suddenly said: "You're right! Before the migration, we raised wild rabbits and bamboo rats. If we didn't eat them all, we might have given birth to many cubs! There are also fish, birds, deer, horses, cows, wolves, bears, woolly rhinos, mammoths... If we raise all the wild animals..."

Then you can open a prehistoric zoo.

"cough!"

Zhang Tian interrupted his excited fantasy, and said solemnly: "Not all wild animals are worth raising. Have you ever thought that there are so many animals on the grassland, why the people at the bottom of the mountain just raise sheep?"

Xiao was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this question, and immediately fell into thinking.

It is a good thing that Xiao can recognize the strengths of others and is willing to learn and think, but it is too early to discuss this topic, and Zhang Tian is more concerned about tomorrow's affairs.

sleep!Raise your spirits first!

……

"Isn't it here yet?"

Ah Meng was a little impatient, and rushed forward under the venomous sunshine, and no one had a good temper.

He still didn't let go of his guard, he observed the surroundings vigilantly, and followed closely beside Leopard Gan, the tour guide and translator. If things changed, he would stab the wild man to death immediately, and he would pull a back if he said anything.

"It's just ahead! See that woods?"

Looking in the direction of Leopard Gan's finger, a row of twisted and low pine trees came into everyone's eyes.

As the aborigines on the grassland, they certainly know that the rainfall on the grassland is not enough to nourish dense forests. If there are patches of forests, it is usually a sign of water sources.

Although these trees have survived tenaciously, they are only lingering on their last legs, and their growth is not good. Presumably there will not be too many wild animals living here. However, for travelers from afar, this place is undoubtedly an excellent camping place.

"The flock!"

The wind blows and the grass is low, and a group of white figures appear. There is no other possibility for the flock of sheep wandering around here. It must be the sheep raised by the family.A Niu shouted loudly.

The crowd went towards the flock, and the flock slowly approached them while gnawing grass.

"A Niu! Bob!"

"Ada!"

The hulking Ada ran towards his clansmen, smiling like a child weighing two hundred catties.

Hunters such as Xiao Xiao and Wolf Claw also joined Tiger Claw, Pine Needle and Gu. Instead of stopping Ah Da who suddenly lost control, they looked at the group of aborigines on the grassland.

Those who grew up drinking goat's milk are really stronger... Xiao Xiao thought to himself.

Ah Meng and the others were also looking at each other.

He had long noticed the twisted sticks that Gu and Pine Needles carried with them, and the small wooden basket full of slender branches.

He was curious last night and suspected that this might be a symbolic item, just like the priest commander in the tribe. Because of the language barrier, and his relationship with crows and leopard livers was not good, he didn't ask any more questions.

Now I find that this thing seems to be a standard configuration, and the opponent almost has one. Obviously, it is not a rare thing, it is more like a...weapon!
He immediately thought of the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun.

Is this the bow and arrow?
The more he looked at it, the more confused he was, unable to equate it with the amazingly powerful weapon described in the story.

Crow made a brief introduction for both parties.

There is no power struggle in this era, and most primitive people who have not experienced intrigues are simple and have clear likes and dislikes. After a few short conversations, both sides can feel that although each other is wary, their attitude is friendly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they headed towards the crooked neck tree. As the destination got closer and closer, everyone's footsteps became more brisk, and emotions such as excitement, excitement, tension, and curiosity rushed into their hearts.

Babu asked about Ah Da's situation during this period. Hearing that the sky priest treated them very well and never abused them or took their sheep, the people down the mountain felt very relieved.

Ah Meng cared more about that mysterious wizard.

It's a pity that Ah Da doesn't know more than Ah Niu, but he carefully described the appearance of Mrs. Wizard, saying that she is as tall as Babu, as thin as a bamboo pole, her hair is black and shiny like a holy stone, and her face is as white as snow.

Ah Meng's heart skipped a beat. This description made him think of the high priest. The high priest has been cared for since he was born. He eats and drinks well and uses it well. He seldom does physical work. He is also very tall and fair, which is different from ordinary people.

He couldn't help but think that this lord wizard might really have the same bloodline as the high priest...

When Hutou and others found the visitor, Zhang Tian was teaching Lin Yu Prairie language.

Lin Yu's learning ability is very strong, and her language talent is especially outstanding, but the time is still too short. She only learned some commonly used vocabulary and can only communicate in simple ways.

After asking about the number of people on the other side, everyone was relieved, there were only twenty or thirty people, and they did not pose a threat at all.

Zhang Tian instructed: "There are not many people, which means that they are not here to cause trouble. They come with good intentions, they are here as guests. Do you remember how we treated our guests before? Let the people living on the grassland feel our enthusiasm!"

Everyone is also excited, looking forward to contacting guests from different regions and different cultures. How can we entertain guests without delicious food?Hutong and the women began to prepare food. Although he didn't have any cooking utensils at hand, it didn't stop him from showing off his skills.

Zhang Tian led a group of hunters including Tiger Head, Pine Cone, and Big Python out of the woods to greet them.

"Master Priest!"

A Niu shouted eagerly, acting as if he was very familiar with the sky priest.

He wanted to show off in front of his clansmen, and Zhang Tian was more than happy to cooperate with him. If it wasn't for the unpopularity of this era, he could even award him the title of Friendship Ambassador.

All eyes fell on Zhang Tian.

He is the sky priest?What's up with his hair?

Although I have heard it before, I was still surprised when I saw it with my own eyes. The hair of the sky priest is shorter than they expected. It is said that the hair is cut short to better sense the guidance of the sky. Because of this, the sky priest can get guidance anytime, anywhere without dreaming.

This is of course A Niu's nonsense, but the people at the foot of the mountain think this statement is very reasonable.

"My lord priest."

Babu led the people to say hello to Zhang Tian. Compared with the casualness when addressing Chi Yan, they were full of respect at this time. They had already felt the power of the sky and no longer doubted it.

They knew that the sky priests had learned the grassland language from their ancestors and could communicate without barriers.

Ah Meng and other people on the mountain also greeted politely, but they did not address the priest, and they presented a small bag of holy stones as a gift, which was quite sincere.

Sheep eggs!Don't tell me when you prepare a gift!
Babu, who came empty-handed, looked a little embarrassed, but he had an idea immediately, and said with a smile: "Master Priest, the tribe at the bottom of the mountain has nothing but a lot of sheep. You can pick a few sheep at random and treat them as gifts!"

Bob is also very sincere.

Although the mountain tribe raises sheep, the number of sheep is not enough to meet the meat needs of everyone. In fact, they usually only slaughter sheep when the cold weather comes, and usually drink goat milk, or release some sheep blood, and eat blood products.

Zhang Tian replied with a few polite words with a smile, and then led them towards the camp.

Before arriving at the camp, the guests could already smell the aroma of food.

It was still early at this time, but the rush all the way had consumed a lot of energy. They were already hungry. The aroma of the food aroused everyone's conditioned reflex, and the stomach began to wriggle, and the saliva was swallowed and precipitated, and they couldn't swallow it all.

"I heard from Ah Niu that you have something called 'salt', which can give food a wonderful taste just by adding a small amount."

Before Zhang Tian could answer, Ah Niu said first: "Bub, didn't you realize that the food you ate last night was very tasty? That one had salt in it."

"No wonder……"

Suddenly, Babu couldn't help smacking his lips, reminiscing about the barbecue last night.

Zhang Tian said: "Salt is the most basic thing to cook food. Adding other spices on this basis will enrich the taste. One of our clansmen is very good at barbecue. You can try his craft later."

The words aroused everyone's expectations and appetites, even Ah Meng, who wanted to see the wizard, felt his stomach start to protest, and couldn't help speeding up his pace.

Looking through the sparse woods, they saw simple tents made of mammoth skins and busy figures shuttling among them.

Half-grown children ran over laughing, speaking incomprehensible words, stretched out their little hands, and handed out a red stone.

Babu recognized it at a glance. It was made of the same material as the stone bowl brought back by A Niu.

"For me?"

Babu received the gift from the little boy, and found that the stone was carved into the image of a macho with well-developed limbs, he couldn't help but secretly startled!
This is so well sculpted too!Even the facial features were fine and distinct, and he thought he could do it with wood, but such a hard stone...

He glanced at Ah Meng out of the corner of his eye, and found that he was no less surprised than himself. Apparently, even among the stonemasons of the tribe on the mountain, few of them had such skills!
The little boy pointed to him, then pointed to the stone sculpture in his hand, talking non-stop with excitement on his face.

Although Babu didn't understand, but looking at the macho statue in his hand, he could roughly guess it. So he bent his arms, showed off his strong biceps, and asked with a smile, "Does it look like it?"

The little boy clapped his palms and laughed, as if he was very happy to see his figure come into reality.

Babu was also grinning. No one had ever given him a stone sculpture, and it was a macho like him. It was a special gift.

He picked up the boy, put him on his broad shoulders, and strode towards the camp.
