Chronicles of Primordial Wars

The tribe still looks the same, but carefully watching, it's not hard to detect, there's a lot of change going on quietly, and then when you get together to discuss it, you realize, well, there are so many different things going on in the past.

For example, by the great river in front of the tribe, you can always see a few old figures, walking around. Not only are they, but even the chiefs often go around the river, which makes people who live near the foot of the mountain curious, even if they don't catch fish, to run to the river from time to time.

So, gradually, there's a habit of going around the river when it's okay, and maybe meeting a tribal senior leader and talking about life?

And the people on the mountain also found that the old men with bad temper, when they treated Shao Xuan, actually and Yan Yue! This is unbelievable!

Later, even two big leaders looked at Shao Xuan with a strange feeling.

There is another very confusing thing. During the rainy season, several heavyweight characters on the mountain, all in the rain, run to the river every day, something that has never happened before. If passed down from generation to generation, let the tribal warriors always be afraid of the river. It's a little better after fishing in recent years, but don't let all the people on the mountain come and see it?

The doubters continue to wonder, and those who look forward to it continue to look forward to it.

……

Another rainy season.

At the age of 16, Shao Xuan, after the sacrificial ceremony, several important figures on the mountain began to lose sleep every day. He was nervous and excited, and gathered all day to discuss whether the plan needed any other changes.

Wood hunting, boat building, sailing, etc. and so on, can't hide too many people. During the year of the sacrifice, the witch told Shao Xuan about the boat trip. The news kept the whole tribe warm for a long time, until the rainy season failed to stop. Shao Xuan was often blocked and asked various questions about the trip.

Everyone in the tribe has a strong sense of anticipation, and although they don't understand much of what the witches say, it doesn't mean they don't.

During the rainy season, when heavy rains fell, the river lords roared and went downstream to the invisible end, and the wood-eating insects were gradually leaving. Most of the creatures in the river go downstream with the giants, waiting for the full moon to reunite before they return from the sea. Others, like those frogs, show up for a while and go to other places that nobody knows about, disappear.

This time, Shao Xuan will take advantage of the period between the end of the rainy season and the reunion of the two months to drive the boat.

At the end of the rainy season, everyone in the tribe, from the mountains down to the mountains, from the elderly to the children, put aside the other things at hand and gather beside the path of glory.

“Let's move out.” The witch stood at the top of the mountain, "he said.

O. and two big leaders, as well as a few strong fighters, carefully moved out the canoe that was placed in the wooden shed.

The canoe is nearly three meters wide, ten meters long and shuttle at its widest. The reason why it's so big is to stand there and rest. If it's just Shao Xuan, you don't need a canoe this big.

The variety of trees that made the canoe was that the hunting team went out and searched for various samples, brought them back for Shao Xuan to choose from, and then the Ohito came and chopped one of the best and most satisfied trees back.

The canoe was made by Shao Xuan together with some of the best stone masons in the tribe, including Old Ke. A canoe of both generosity and ingenuity was built by excavating the midst of the great trees that were cut down.

Canoeing is relatively simple to make and is not easy to leak without the risk of breaking apart.

Shao Xuan painted the blueprints himself. In doing so, he also asked other old warriors of the tribe to teach them how to canoe, but they could know some of the techniques that might be useful, and Shao Xuan modified them according to these suggestions.

After the drawing was designed, several stone masters deliberately cut off a lot of wood to practice at home before doing it. After all, there is still a big difference between wood and stone tools. They dare not mess with their hands. When they have the certainty and the know-how, come and solve this canoe together.

This canoe, for many of the Totem warriors in the tribe, is not too much weight. They have no problems fighting rocks during the week. How hard is it to fight wood?

But it is a matter of importance, a solemn courtesy, to be carried down the mountain by several high-ranking Totem warriors at this moment.

Shao Xuan sat on the floor with his legs, and the witch painted a picture on his face, just like the warrior who was out hunting, it was a blessing, meaning that the tribe attached importance to it. Even the humming feet were painted by a witch on the tribe's totem, like the giant eagle at Eagle Mountain.

After the painting, Shao Xuan walked towards the fire pond for a gift, and then walked to the canoe, along with the others carrying the canoe, down the path of glory. The chirp takes off directly and flies through the air.

Behind the canoe, the witch and several other elderly members of the tribe followed, with a facial expression, some excitement, some worry, and some muscle fluctuations, though seemingly calm, which showed that this was not the case in his heart. By this time, it is easy for many people to think and suffer. This is about the wishes of our ancestors. How can we calm down?

Next to the path of glory, the crowd also moves with the canoe. Adults follow closely with children, physically disabled people, with crutches, or supported by people.

Together, they sang "Hunting Songs" and "Prayer Songs". At first, it was just some people singing on the hill. Soon, there were people singing along the hill. The whole tribe sang the same song at the same pace and pace, with or without young, or old, or sharp, or rough sounds. For them, singing represents all their moods at this moment.

Tribes, for the most part, are not good at expressing their emotions and thoughts, and singing is a form of expression.

For the first time, when they were singing "Hunting Songs," they didn't want to kill like they did before hunting, but were fearless, fearless, and hopeful.

The entire tribe, on this day, collectively sent Shao Xuan.

What's across the river? They don't know and never want to explore. In many people's view, Shao Xuan's behavior is admirable, but they don't think Shao Xuan can make it. This river is too dangerous. A real fierce warrior!

After the canoe was brought down the mountain, O. and several others carefully pushed it into the river.

The canoe that was made belongs to the side boat canoe.

The so-called "sideboat canoe“ is a canoe-shaped float on one or both sides of the canoe that is facing the canoe. Shao Xuan's design belongs to a one-sided boat canoe, because of this, he once played on a trip abroad.

Sideboat canoes overcome the instability of canoes that can swing and roll over easily in the wind waves, but also have the advantages of canoe lightness, construction integrity and other advantages, as well as the means of ocean navigation for indigenous peoples in those places.

Windsurfing is also the most important sailing facility, now set on top of it is a sail made of leaves and vines. The vines are a fine but very solid vine found in the hunting grounds, allowing the best women in the tribe to weave down triangular sails.

In the opinion of the witches and others, this kind of thing that doesn't know if it will work, it is better to have more, but because the vine is really hard to find, eventually the material found is woven into two pieces, put on one piece, and the other piece is used as a backup. Just a spare piece, I don't know if it's enough.

When Shao Xuan was studying with the indigenous people, he learned that a canoe with a side boat like that could travel more than 200 kilometers a day. Here, Shao Xuan was less certain.

Connecting the crossbars of the side boat to the canoe hull, checking the various places and what needed to be brought, Shao Xuan stood in the canoe and looked at the dense numbness on the shore.

Caesar stood on the shore, watching Shao Xuan in the boat and landing inside, humming, he also wanted to follow, but Shao Xuan could not carry it anymore. In case of danger and other crisis conditions on the river, Shao Xuan can allow him to carry it, but Caesar cannot, nor can he hunch it.

If it's about the size of the eagles in Eagle Mountain, it's a shame it's still small.

“Goodbye. I left." Shao Xuan went to the shore for a gift.

All those who stood by the shore, led by witches and chiefs, also returned a gift to Shao Xuan, a situation that had never existed in centuries.

For the tribal people, Shao Xuan is their hope to get out. If Shao Xuan can't succeed, then how long will it take to get out again? Everyone doesn't know, maybe a thousand years later, still stay put.

Pull the sail, the canoe uses the wind to sail away.

The sails were very large, and Shao Xuan would not have been able to operate without the great strength of all the Totem warriors.

This big guy, standing in the canoe, looking at both sides curiously, is a very novel experience for him, he can actually stand on the river!

However, such a big boat, for the chirping love, was still small, unable to move, stood for a moment, and flew up to the sky, heading in the direction Shao Xuan pointed out. Or be free in the sky, and when you're tired, it'll go back to the boat for a rest.

The shore rang "Prayer Song," a collective chorus.

Shao Xuan turned around and looked over. The people on the shore were getting smaller and smaller. The house on the mountain gradually became only one blurred spot. The mountain, which had lived for almost eight years, gradually disappeared from the water sky, just like the river shoreline.

There is no more noise in the ears except the sound of the wind.

Looking at the direction of the sky sun, feeling the slightly changing wind direction, Shao Xuan adjusted the wind sail and looked towards the unknown forward.
