Chapter 77 Preparation
Children live under the protection of adults, and this cave is their entire world. Almost all their knowledge of the outside world comes from the stories of their elders and the scenes they imagined based on these stories.

Therefore, they have the purest imagination without being bound by the true face of the world.

After Zhang Tian encouraged them to knead pottery clay as they wished, a lot of weird things were fired every day.

Whenever the kiln is inspected and accepted, the children will rush up and surround him, claiming their own "figures".

Zhang Tian would take the opportunity to take these weird things and ask them what they were pinching one by one.

The children have never seen a mammoth, but only heard that the mammoth is huge and has long teeth, so although the mammoths they pinched were square, round, flat, and strip-shaped, they all met the above two characteristics.

Everyone claimed that the mammoth they made was a purebred, and that all other shapes were hybrids.

Bai and Shu have a fierce dispute over Thunder Beast's true appearance.

Bai thought that the Thunder Beast must have wings, otherwise how could it fly behind the clouds and hide?
According to the tree, the Ultralisk has no wings, but it has a stretchable leg, just like the one that men have, only the Ultralisk's is longer, as long as it goes from the ground to the sky!So it can use that leg to catapult into the sky at any time, and it can also use that leg to catch prey, just as Grandma said in the story.

He mocked Bai because he didn't have that leg, so he couldn't understand it in this life.

Bai cried loudly, and Shu was elated.

But the tree was not complacent for long, a young man named Huo was born out of nowhere, claiming that he had pinched Hou Yi, a mere Thunder Beast, to be shot to pieces with one arrow!
"Is this the Hou Yi you created?"

Zhang Tian took out a figure figure with three heads, six arms and nine legs from the pottery kiln. It was Hou Yi who looked at Silence, and Nezha shed tears when he saw it.

Out of the kiln at the same time as Hou Yi, there is also the great god Pan Gu, which is a masterpiece of Shan.

"So why are there so many holes in Pan Gu's arm?"

"These are not holes! They are eyes! Pangu has eleven eyes!"

"Why does Pan Gu have eleven eyes?"

"Because Pangu's eyes became the moon and the sun, and a long time ago, there were ten suns in the sky!"

"Um……"

Zhang Tian had to admit that what Shan said was reasonable, but he always felt that he had seen the setting of eyes on his arms before.

The good times didn't last long, and that night, Huo and Shan were taught with sticks by their respective mothers.It is disrespectful to make the appearance of the ancestors at will!What's more, these two dead children are squeezed into such strange shapes!It's time to fight!
What surprised Zhang Tian the most was Xiao Xiao.

Owl used clay to fire what may be the world's first ocarina.

Lin Yu was equally astonished. As far as she knew, an ocarina more than 4000 years ago had been unearthed in China. Hard to beat the height again.

The fly in the ointment is that the ocarina made by Xiao largely imitates the style of the bamboo flute, which is very different from the ocarina of later generations.He is standing on the shoulders of giants. Although the use of brand new materials is worthy of praise, the originality is obviously not enough.

Xiao excitedly showed the ocarina to Zhang Tian.

Zhang Tian first seriously praised it, and then asked him: "Why did you make the ocarina into this shape?"

"Isn't the flute supposed to be in this shape?"

Xiao Xiao's thoughtlessness worried Zhang Tian.

That's what worries him the most.

What he wants to do is to guide, not to formulate rules and dogmas. There are not so many rules and regulations in this world, and everything is possible.

He didn't want to stifle other possibilities while providing one possibility.

Zhang Tianzheng said: "The flute has no fixed shape. I made this shape because the bamboo itself is long. Nothing is born as it should be. Everything is possible. If you don't try it, how will you know?" ? Next time, you might as well try another shape, maybe it will make a more beautiful sound."

Xiao Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

……

When the maple leaves began to fall in large areas, the clansmen were also busy making final preparations for the upcoming tribal conference.

This year's maple leaves apparently fell earlier than usual.

In the past, after giving birth, women had to wait a long time after their bodies recovered before the maple leaves fell.

Now that they have not fully recovered, they have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of the tribe—the men will be away for more than ten days, and everything in the tribe will be maintained by the women during this period.

After dinner, the clansmen sat around the bonfire, waiting for Grandma to announce the candidates for the tribal assembly.

The candidate was selected after everyone's discussion. Grandma just integrated everyone's opinions and made the final announcement.

The situation this time is quite special. The delegation going to the meeting will "mix up" some hunters from the Yougu tribe. In order to avoid suspicion due to the large number of people, they must cut some personnel. Not anymore.

The young hunters all felt deeply regretful that the opportunity to hunt giant beasts is only once a year, and if you miss this year, you will have to wait for next year.

If they knew that there would be no next year, they probably wouldn't compromise so easily... Zhang Tian thought to himself.

Lanhua comforted them and said, "It's good for you to stay, you can go hunting in the mountains during the day, and we can feel at ease with a strong man like you guarding the cave at night."

These words were very useful to the young hunters, so they stopped complaining.

A list of 14 people was finally determined, including seven hunters including Wolf Claw, Tiger Head, and Tiger Claw, three young women of the right age who were not pregnant, an imperial chef, and Zhang Tian, ​​Lin Yu, and Xiao who were approaching adulthood. The children are led by their second uncle, Wolf Claw.

Normally, children would not go to the tribal assembly, but the extraordinary nature of Tian and Lin was obvious to all. Xiao and Tian had been inseparable since childhood, so it was reasonable to make an exception and bring them along this time, and the clansmen had no objection to this.

It will take at least two days to go from the cave where the tribe is to the valley camp. On the way, they will pass by the snakeskin tribe and stay in the other party's cave for one night.

The things to be prepared include: food needed on the way, hunting weapons, items used to sacrifice snow spirits, items used for exchange, gifts for the organizers, and other necessary tools and supplies.

In addition, each tribe has to prepare a performance that recreates the hunting activities, interpreting the thrilling hunting situations they usually experience. This link has always been the highlight of the winter tribal conference, and the men never get tired of it.

The purpose of recreating hunting activities is not only to show off the skills of the own tribe, but also to demonstrate hunting skills and strategies to young hunters, and to demonstrate new weapons and tools to other tribes.

Of course there is also a story.

Sharing stories is an essential entertainment item at the bonfire party. Because of the existence of Grandma, the River Tribe has dominated this item for many years.

Grandma will not go to the tribal meeting this time, so the heavy responsibility naturally falls on Zhang Tian, ​​who is also good at storytelling.
