Chapter 88

On the other side of the cave, the children also asked the guests to have a light meal before going to bed.

Seeing the people of Yougu tribe falling under the delicious meat porridge one after another, Zhang Tian couldn't help feeling: "Sure enough, we still have to rely on food diplomacy."

"That's the nature of food and sex. Food is the eternal pursuit of human beings."

Lin Yu saw that the dishes she taught were very popular, and said proudly: "The food culture of my Greater China is extensive and profound, and the deep characters in it are reflected in the long history and long history. You know that the first food in the world What is your local specialty snack?"

Zhang Tian was really questioned.

Dr. Lin gave him some cold knowledge of popular science from time to time, which helped him understand this era and the differences in social forms, living standards, economic development and religious beliefs of primitive tribes in different regions.

He shook his head to show he didn't know.

Lin Yu said with a smile: "At the same time as ours, in the Yuchanyan Cave in Dao County, Hunan Province, the primitive people there were gathering fish and hunting, and at the same time, like the Yougu tribe, they were trying to domesticate wild rice. It was also at that time In the cave, the world’s earliest kiwi fruit and plums, as well as the world’s earliest local specialty snack—Yongzhou drinking snails—were unearthed.”

"Yuchanyan Ruins..."

Zhang Tian has heard that this site is famous all over the world for unearthing the earliest artificially cultivated rice specimen in the world.

Thinking of those ancient ancestors who only appeared in archaeological materials, they might be enjoying the warm and humid climate in caves tens of thousands of miles away. , ginger, and Chinese prickly ash are stewed together, feeling the thrill of spicy and delicious fragrance beating on the tip of the tongue.

His mood is unavoidably complicated.

hateful!Are they living worse than primitive people!
He muttered: "I don't know if I will have a chance to meet them in the future..."

"That's awesome!"

Lin Yu blurted out.

Just the existence of this possibility made her very excited, but after thinking about it carefully, she still felt that it was not realistic. Yuchanyan was too far away from their destination, and there was no navigation or map in this era. Finding a cave here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

On second thought, even if you don't meet the primitive people in Yuchanyan, there are countless ruins unearthed in the Yellow River Basin. As long as they migrate south, they will always meet the ancestors living in this era.

She suddenly thought that the sites she had participated in the excavation and research before, maybe she would encounter them in this era. After so many years of plant and agricultural archeology, she dug up countless carbonized seeds, and perhaps some of them were left by her own hands. under the traces.

Could it be that at the end of the archaeological examination, I suddenly discovered that the primitive man was myself... She laughed dumbfounded.

After eating a bowl of hot porridge, Miao was amazed by the taste of the salty porridge.

He had participated in tribal meetings before, and had exchanged salt from tribes with salt. Their salt was claimed to be pure, but it still had a slight peculiar smell, and the taste was not very good.

He couldn't help asking Lan Hua: "Didn't you get your salt from tribes with salt?"

Xiaoqian replied: "How can the salt of the Salt Tribe compare with our salt? Their salt is a gift from Xue Ling, while our salt is a gift from the sky. The power of the sky is much stronger than snow!"

It's the sky again... Miao then asked, "What about bows and arrows?"

"Of course it's also a gift from the sky." Xiao Xiao said without hesitation, "There are so many gifts from the sky!"

He gleefully counted the changes the sky had brought to their lives for the guests: the rod that could catch fish continuously, the spinning wheel that could easily spin twine, and the ability to hunt and kill animals stronger than two people without a hair. A bear trap... as it once did for the Tree Tribe.

Everything Xiao showed shocked them, opened their eyes, and turned pale with fright.

Xiao was very satisfied with such a great response from the guests, and thought to himself, this is right, this is the effect I want!

He now has the desire to tell stories again.

Miao believes more and more that the power of the sky does exist, and it is stronger than the power of the earth... Otherwise, how to explain all this?

It is impossible for these miraculous things to appear out of thin air, especially the sharpness of the few bamboo-cutting knives that he has never seen in his life, and they are so natural that there is no trace of carving and polishing. The bone knife in it is as ridiculous as a toy!
But he soon discovered another strange thing: apart from the sky, the Great River Tribe often mentioned ancestors, and they obviously respected the great ancestors very much.

"So is it the guidance of the sky, or the guidance of the ancestors?" He was a little confused.

Xiao was taken aback, surprised that they didn't even know where their ancestors were, and muttered softly: "No wonder the ancestors said you lost children, you have been lost far enough..."

"what?"

The guests didn't hear clearly.

Xiao Xiao straightened his face and asked seriously: "How long has it been since you looked up at the sky?"

"This……"

The guests looked at each other, puzzled.

"Have you seen the stars in the sky?" Xiao Xiao pointed to the starry sky outside the cave and said, "Every clansman who leaves us will become a star, watching and protecting us forever in the sky. As long as we always look up at the sky, Pray to the sky, and you will receive guidance from your ancestors!"

The people of Yougu Tribe were shocked, and then they realized that they had been looking at their feet all the time, but they forgot to look up at the sky. Perhaps it was because of this that they failed to receive the gift of the sky and the guidance of their ancestors.

Those miraculous things that Xiao showed and the kind of affluent life he described, it would be a lie to say that he is not envious. If there is a chance, who would not want to live a better life?

Thinking of this, Miao asked, "What do you mean when you say that the sky and the earth are indistinguishable from each other?"

Xiao Xiao grinned, and it was his favorite part.

"It starts with our ancestor Pangu. He was the first person in the world. It was he who opened up the sky and the earth. A long time ago, the sky and the earth were not separated, they were connected together. Like a big bird's egg, or a hole with no exit..."

The well-fed guests listened intently, the expressions on their faces constantly changing with Xiao's narration. Have they ever heard such an imaginative story?They were all frightened by Xiao Xiao's description, their faces turned pale, and their opened mouths never closed from the beginning to the end.

The children also gathered around, wanting to listen to the legendary life of the great ancestor again.

"Xiao really has the potential to be a priest." Lin Yu said.

"really."

Zhang Tianshen thinks that Xiao Xiao is smart enough, has a strong thirst for knowledge, and is also very enlightened. He is a good seedling. When he learns the ceremony of worshiping heaven and masters the method of making salt, it is not impossible for him to become an independent priest in the future.
