back to prehistoric savage

The schools in Taoyuan are just the opposite of modern schools. They have holidays in spring and autumn and start school in winter and summer.

In the first class of the winter semester, Lin Yu routinely checked the children's autumn vacation homework.

There is no shortcut to language learning, the only way is to write and practice frequently to form long-term memory.Skills are better than hard work, and playfulness is a waste of time. If knowledge is not reviewed and used, even if you are well-educated, you will easily forget to write.

After these years of teaching, Lin Yu has abstracted all the common things, actions and emotions in life into simple symbols. The vocabulary of students in the advanced class is generally between 300 and 500. Of course, those who can advance to the advanced class Children in the first class are rare in the entire clan and are the targets of key training.

Vocabulary alone is not enough, you also need to learn to connect words to form sentences and convey complete information through sentences.

Lin Yu asked them to write a diary every day. There was no requirement for the number of words. It could be a simple sentence to record something impressive, or it could be a sentence of emotion, such as it is really hot today.

The key is not what to write, but to develop the habit of writing and recording.

Children use bamboo slices as homework books and carve words on them. The material is convenient and environmentally friendly, and can be used as firewood after use.

In the first class of school, Lin Yu asked them to exchange homework and read each other's diaries in public.

Her requirements are not high, as long as what she writes can be understood by others.

Xingyue and Ziyan, two overage "children", were allowed to attend the junior class. Xingchen was concerned about the safety of the priest, so naturally he had to follow her every step of the way and act as her accompaniment.

When Xingyue came into contact with the symbols of Taoyuan for the first time, she was keenly aware of the convenience and superiority of this method.

Star tribes still use knotted ropes to record events and the information they want to convey through the color and size of the knots, as well as the things tied to them. This method is inefficient and easily confused.

In contrast, symbols have a clear referential nature. As long as a consensus is reached among clan members, the accuracy can be greatly improved and the cost of communication can be simplified!

Xingyue had the idea to learn from it, thinking that when he returned to the tribe, he would bring this knowledge back to improve the lives of his people.

Therefore, she studied even harder. She had never worked so hard before. Due to the language barrier, it was very difficult at first. Fortunately, her language partner was very patient, and the sky priest took the trouble to answer her questions. As the days passed, her Taoyuan dialect became more and more beautiful. He is also becoming more proficient.

Stardust also fell into the embrace of the sky during this process. After having a guiding dream, he has no doubt about the power of the sky.

He quickly got along with Hutou and other hunters. Communication between men does not need to be through words, wrestling, wrestling, and arm wrestling. They go to the mountains to chop wood and hunt together, which is enough to develop a sympathetic friendship.

He was initially hostile to the wolves in the camp, but later he was surprised to find that the wolves of the Sky Clan were not vicious at all and were very obedient, almost to the point where they would come and go when called upon.

Even in the cold winter, hunters often took their wolfdogs out for patrolling. They were majestic and eye-catching, which made Stardust feel itchy and thought that if he could raise such a big wolf, he would be even more powerful.

Winter is supposed to be a long and difficult season, but this winter seems to have slipped away in the blink of an eye. Before Xingyue and Stardust were aware of it, the ice and snow melted quietly.

Everyone got busy again, killing pigs and geese, decorating with lanterns, singing and dancing to welcome the New Year.

The festival is also a new experience for the two of them. Apart from the annual sacrificial ceremony, the Star Tribe has no other celebrations.

When the crackling firecrackers suddenly exploded, the two of them were shocked!

What a movement!
Knowing that it was the Sky Priest who used the power of the thunder beast to drive away the legendary extremely ferocious "Nian Beast" to welcome the new year, the two couldn't help but look at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

The Sky Priest can control the power of thunder beasts. They have already known this from Hu Zi's mouth, but hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes is so shocking!
After celebrating the Spring Festival in a lively manner, Zhang Tian no longer delayed, summoned his clan members to explain the current situation.

In order to make everyone understand the necessity of this action, he described the meteorite annihilation as an invasion of evil stars. These stars were exiled from the sky and had nowhere to go, so they came to seize territory on the earth.

Many phenomena in nature are still incomprehensible according to the current cognition of the tribe, and it is easiest to explain them by giving them personalized characteristics.

The idea that people turn into stars after death has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.People are divided into good and bad when they are alive, and they become stars after death. Of course, there are also good stars and bad stars.

As soon as they heard that the bad stars in the sky were coming to seize the territory, everyone was filled with indignation and immediately made a categorical statement, vowing to defend their homeland and drive away the invaders!
The tiger head raised its head and said: "Our ancestors could even shoot down the sun, so what do the stars mean! Come on, I'll shoot one!"

The crowd was excited, and the archery experts in the clan responded loudly, intending to imitate their ancestors, look northwest, and shoot at the Sirius!
Zhang Tian was impressed by the courage of the tribe. Today's Dahe tribe no longer trembles when there is a thunderstorm.

However, stories are stories and reality is reality. Using these wooden bows to shoot meteorites is like using a mantis' arm as a chariot.

Zhang Tian did not discourage the tribesmen, but simply said: "It is the mission of Nuwa's descendants to deal with the stars. I have a more important task for you."

The “more important task” he refers to is evacuation and accommodation of refugees.

The arrival of a meteorite is very likely to trigger a large-scale tsunami. To avoid unnecessary casualties, it is necessary to evacuate first.

Where to evacuate is a big question.

The specific number of permanent residents on the seaside is unknown. According to Jiang He, it is estimated that it is no less than Hexi and Hedong. The largest Xingxing tribe is about the same size as Taoyuan, and the other tribes are smaller. All in all, there should be 5000 people.

There are so many refugees. No matter how wealthy Taoyuan is, it is impossible to accept them all. Therefore, the tribes in Hexi and Hedong must work together to share a part.

This is the most difficult part.

Even Europe, which claims to value human rights the most, is still troubled by the refugee problem, let alone primitive people who have no concept of human rights at all?How easy is it for them to take in a group of outsiders and treat them as human beings?
Not to mention Hexi and Hedong, even my own clan has many voices of opposition.

Zhang Tian had expected this.

He did not act impulsively. Taking in refugees would bring new blood and new productivity, but it might also cause a series of problems. He had considered these and made plans.

First, limit the quantity.

The current permanent population of the clan is about 1200, and the number of refugees should not exceed 200. Women and children are given priority. It is best to come from different tribes to prevent this group of outsiders from getting together.

Of course, looking up to the sky and becoming a citizen of the sky is still a prerequisite for obtaining a "green card" from Taoyuan.

In addition, all meteorite weapons and tools held by the people on the seaside must be handed over and returned to public ownership.

Only after mastering the language and possessing a certain skill can one take the oath to "naturalize" Taoyuan and become a glorious Taoyuan native.This is not the first time that the Sky Clan has accepted outsiders. The original Rock Castle Tribe, later the Niutou Tribe, the Big Fish Tribe, and other tribes who came to seek refuge here and there and refused to leave once they came. The people are well integrated with the local culture.

Therefore, when the sky priest explained the pros and cons, the objections gradually subsided.

Zhang Tian thought to himself that the ethnic groups living in this land have been very tolerant since ancient times, and all foreign ethnic groups have been assimilated by the culture of the Central Plains.The formation of this inclusive culture may have originated today.

This matter was very important, and Zhang Tian was worried about leaving it to others, so he decided to take action himself.

In other words, the seaside is the end point of this trip to the seaside. He plans to visit all the tribes in Hexi and Hedong on the way and finalize matters related to accepting refugees with the chiefs.

Before this incident happened, he originally had this plan, but he planned to follow Jiang He's fleet. Now that the wolf boy is back, relying on Huangshi's power, the time saved can be fully utilized.

The scene of selecting the entourage was much more intense than Zhang Tian expected. Although he repeatedly emphasized that the journey would take a long time and be very risky, it did not hinder the enthusiasm of the tribe at all.

Who doesn’t want to see the ocean as boundless as the sky?
Tiger Claw is particularly active. As early as when he heard the story of Jingwei's reclamation of the sea, he had dreamed of one day being able to visit Jieshi in the east to view the sea. Now that the opportunity has come, don't miss it!

Jiang He also volunteered. It was his long-cherished wish to go to the seaside again. When he led his tribe to the end of the river, he went through hardships and dangers. It took him nearly a year just to go back and forth!This time, the team is led by the Sky Priest and the Master Wizard, and the ride is for naught!

Lin Yu, Kui, Zi Yan, Lang Hai and Xing Yue will naturally also go.

In addition, there are Crow, Leopard Liver and Stardust who are proficient in the language of the ocean, as well as hunters such as Tiger Head, Gu, Pine Needle, and Big Python who volunteered to serve as guards. Not counting the international students who hitchhiked back home, there are a total of 32 people.

Xiao Xiao also shouted to go, but Zhang Tian held him down.

"You have to stay, take care of the tribe for me, and lead everyone in farming and harvesting."

Zhang Tian thought Xiao would lose his temper, but he agreed immediately, but he was a little unhappy.

Zhang Tian suddenly realized that Xiao was now a man over [-] years old, but he always looked at him as a young and ignorant brother.

He has long since grown up, is no longer willful, and his thoughts have become increasingly mature.Last year he and Lin Yu went to a gathering in Hedong, and the clan affairs were entrusted to Xiao, who did a good job.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tian felt a little relieved and told him the "policy" for accepting refugees and some future plans.

"You have mastered all the knowledge you need to learn, but there is only one thing I haven't had time to do yet. Do you remember the green stone found in the Gourd tribe? That stone is called copper. Put this stone into the pottery furnace Melt it in the kiln and then forge it into shape, and you can make weapons and tools that are sharper than stone!"

The more Xiao heard, the deeper his frown deepened. He couldn't help but ask: "Why are you telling me all this? Can't you do these things when you come back? It feels like you are explaining the funeral..."

Zhang Tianzheng said: "I said, this trip is very risky. As a priest of the sky, I have to be responsible for the people of the tribe, so I should prepare for the worst."

Rather than raising a flag, Zhang Tian did have an ominous premonition.

On the one hand, this ominous premonition came from the increasing sense of oppression in the sky. On the other hand, he believed that Lin Yu's words were reasonable. The five-color stones had been gathered. This incident might be an opportunity for them to return to reality.

From the perspective of known history, this point in time is also very delicate, just when they found the copper mine.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be preventing him from hammering out bronze, so as not to exceed the productivity that should be achieved in this era.

But Zhang Tian was still unwilling to give in, so he told Xiao the principle of copper smelting. The so-called success does not depend on me.

"You will definitely come back safely!"

"Of course I hope so, but if Lin and I fail to come back, you will be the next sky priest. As the next wizard, you can choose from the other four descendants of Nuwa."

"what!"

Xiao was caught off guard. Although many tribesmen regarded him as the successor of the Sky Priest, he had never thought of it that way.Now Lian Tian also said this, and he seemed to be entrusting himself to the future, as if something had already happened, and he suddenly felt more pressure.

"But, but I don't understand anything, and I can't hear the sound of the sky..."

"You have mastered all the necessary knowledge, enough for you to lead your people to create a better life. As for the voice of the sky, it is not heard by the ears, but by the mind and wisdom. But you have to remember that the voice of the sky The reason why guidance exists is because it brings good changes to the lives of the tribesmen. Guidance that goes against the wishes and interests of the tribesmen will not be accepted by the tribesmen, no matter whose guidance it is."

Xiao Xiao understood the first half of the words and was extremely shocked!
The guidance of the sky is actually figured out by the sky itself!How is this possible?Those novel creations, those imaginative stories... Without the guidance of the sky, who could come up with these things out of thin air?
He barely understood the second half of the words, as if he was lost in the fog.

He has not yet truly taken power, nor has he given orders as a sky priest. The principle that water can carry and capsize a boat is too profound for him.

Zhang Tian took out a piece of giant turtle shell and handed it to him.

"This is the tortoise shell I use to record important events. Bamboo slips are easy to rot and be eaten by insects. Carving on the tortoise shell can be preserved for a long time. Human memory is far less accurate than writing. Recording important events will not be easily forgotten and forgotten. Errors and omissions.”

Xiao took it solemnly. He had the most hieroglyphics in the clan. Even if he couldn't write advanced expressions, he could still record simple facts.

After doing all this, it's time to set off.

Fully charge the solar hand lamp, and bring valuable materials such as binoculars, masks, and porcelain caltrops in case of emergencies.

A group of dozens of people, fully armed, gathered in the center of the event square.

Everyone came swarming to see him off. Xiao Xiao felt mixed emotions in his heart. He suddenly came up and hugged Zhang Tian tightly, and said with some choking, "Waiting for you to come back."

Zhang Tian couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, you are not the heroine, how can you act like a heroine?

His eyes swept across the faces of the tribesmen one by one, and he waved his hands and said: "Go back, it's time to sow. Don't slack off just because the wizard and I are away. When I am away, the owl will be the sky priest!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and the more perceptive people had noticed that the sky priest's words seemed to have a profound meaning.

Zhang Tian said no more and said hello. Lin Yu and other five Nuwa descendants used their abilities at the same time.

With a slight vibration under the feet, the earth began to slowly sink, and finally disappeared under everyone's eyes. (End of chapter)
