MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 11 build a tribe
Peaceful days always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, spring has arrived.
The warm sun shines on the ground again, and the ice and snow melt away quickly.
"Squeak..."
The door of the bamboo house was pushed open, and Jiang Xuan, who was wearing an animal skin coat, animal leather pants on his legs, and animal leather boots, walked out of the bamboo house.
These animal leather jackets, animal leather pants and animal leather boots are all made by them during the long winter.
They first cut the soaked hide into clothes, trousers, and shoes, then used sharp stones to drill a row of small holes in the hide, and finally sewed the hide together with a string made of tree bark.
Although the workmanship is relatively rough and not very good-looking, it can keep warm.
"Whoa..."
Behind the bamboo house, many bent bamboos, after the ice and snow melted, swishly dropped ice slag, and then slowly rose.
When the snow fell, most of the bamboos were bent down.
Fortunately, in order to make the bamboo house, bamboo bed, bathroom and toilet, Jiang Xuan chopped up the bamboo in front of and behind the house. Otherwise, the bamboo house might not be able to bear the pressure of so many frozen bamboo tails.
"It feels so good to be in the sun!"
Jiang Xuan basked in the sun, stretched out, and spent a winter in a bamboo hut. Although he didn't worry about eating and drinking, he almost drove people crazy.
Chi Shao and others also came out. Like Jiang Xuan, they also wore animal skin clothes, animal leather pants, and animal leather shoes.
Chishao said, "Winter is over, and we can go hunting again."
Uncaria added: "You can still fish."
Shi Loach said, "Dig a pond."
Nan Xing said, "I want to go up the mountain for a walk."
Nan Xing's words aroused an idea that Jiang Xuan had been holding back for a long time.
He turned to look at the back of the bamboo forest, the tall stone mountain and the huge ancient vines surrounding the stone mountain.
"Actually, I want to follow the ancient vine and climb to the top of the stone mountain to see it."
As soon as these words came out, the four of them all focused their attention on Jiang Xuan, and it could be seen from their expressions that they were also a little moved.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan said, "How about, when the snow melts, we can climb up and have a look together?"
The four of them nodded without any hesitation.
Tribal people all have an adventurous spirit, and climbing stone mountains and ancient vines is very attractive to them.
They also wanted to climb up to see what the scenery around the forest was like.
The stone mountain is so high, and the snow on it is difficult to melt. If you want to climb up, it is estimated that you will have to wait two or three days.
Jiang Xuan wandered around the bamboo house for a while, then returned to the bamboo house and found a suitable bamboo tube. Using a sharp stone, the top of the bamboo tube was engraved with the character "one".
"The snow and ice begin to melt today, so consider it the first day of the new year."
"I don't know how this world works. For the time being, let's record it like in the previous life."
"From now on, I will engrave a number on the bamboo tube every day. Thirty-one days will be the first month, and it will be one year until the next day when the ice and snow melt."
Jiang Xuan didn't want to live in confusion, he wanted to make a calendar for himself.
He even planned to engrave the solar terms. For example, if it rained for the first time this year, it was designated as rain, the first thunderstorm was designated as Jingzhe, and so on.
This matter is very important, at least Jiang Xuan thinks so.
With the concept of time, people can arrange things more properly.
After the carving, Jiang Xuan solemnly placed the bamboo tube and stone beside his bed.
He wants to engrave and read every day, and in the future, he will make certain adjustments according to the actual situation to make this calendar more suitable for this world.
Three days later, the sun shone brightly, the ice and snow melted completely, the stream was flowing again, and the birds and beasts in the mountains became active again.
Jiang Xuan's five people prepared ropes, jerky, and weapons, and with excitement, they walked through the bamboo forest and came to the foot of the stone mountain.
Tall and precipitous rocky mountains, huge ancient vines.
The trunk of the ancient vine is like a towering giant tree, and the thick branches almost cover the entire stone mountain.
Everyone who sees Guteng will be shocked.
Jiang Xuan tied a sturdy bark rope around his waist, and tied a wooden hook at one end of the rope. When climbing the mountain, he could hang the wooden hook on the vines to act as a safety rope.
Others have the same rope and wooden hook.
Jiang Xuan looked up at the ancient vines on the stone mountain and said, "Everyone, be careful when you go up. Remember to keep hooks on the sturdy vines at all times. I would rather climb slowly and ensure safety."
Chi Shao and the others nodded, they wouldn't make fun of their lives.
"Set off!"
Jiang Xuan took the lead to climb up the ancient vine. The trunk of the ancient vine is very huge, and there are vine branches all over the stone mountain. When climbing, as long as you hold on to the vines and don't look down, it is relatively easy to climb up.
Uncaria, Nanxing, and Shiloh followed Jiang Xuan, and Chishao was at the end. If the people in front were in danger, she could find a way to save them.
The stone mountain is hundreds of meters high and very steep. If it weren't for this ancient vine, few people could climb it.
The process of climbing up was relatively smooth, and there were no accidents. The vines all over the mountain gave them a place to grab their hands at all times. The huge ancient vines rose relatively gently.
Three hours later, Jiang Xuan and the others climbed to the top of the stone mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Jiang Xuan supported the branch of the ancient vine and looked down.
It was noon at this time, and the mountains were rolling and rolling. In the sky, there were various birds circling from time to time, and the scenery was very spectacular.
People stand on the top of the mountain and feel that the earth is under their feet, and it is easy to have great ambitions.
Jiang Xuan looked back at Chi Shao and said, "Sister, do you remember what I said?"
"What?" Chi Shao didn't know what Jiang Xuan said.
"At that time, we were on the way to escape. You said, the tribe is gone, what should we do in the future."
Jiang Xuan said word by word: "I said, the big deal, let's rebuild a tribe!"
Chi Shao looked at Jiang Xuan in astonishment: "Could it be that you want to..."
Jiang Xuan nodded affirmatively, then looked at Uncaria, Shiloh, and Nanxing, and said, "Are you willing to build a new tribe with me?"
Uncaria said in disbelief: "Just... just the five of us, can we form a tribe?"
Jiang Xuandao: "There are only five of us now, but I promise that we will have more clansmen in the future!"
Chishao, Uncaria and Shiloh were all shocked by Jiang Xuan's words, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Xuan, I am willing to form a new tribe with you!"
The youngest Nan Xing was the first to agree, because he didn't need to think too much, he only knew that he had a good life by Jiang Xuan's side.
Shi Loach and Uncaria looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded together: "We are also willing!"
Jiang Xuan looked at Chi Shao again and said, "Sister, they all agreed, how about you?"
Chishao looked a little complicated. After the winter, she was fourteen years old, and her thinking was much more mature. In her opinion, a tribe of five people was like a child's farce.
But after so many things, she has an inexplicable confidence in Jiang Xuan. Maybe, this small tribe can really grow in the future?
Finally, she also nodded.
Chishao asked, "Since it's a new tribe, we need a name, what should we name our tribe?"
Jiang Xuan looked into the distance, and then looked at the ancient vines on the stone mountain under his feet. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since we came to live here, it has been very smooth, and we haven't even encountered any beasts. I think it must be because of the ancient vines. shelter."
Jiang Xuan stroked the branches of Guteng and said, "In this case, our new tribe is called the Teng tribe. From now on, Guteng will be the patron saint of our tribe!"
Every tribe has its own patron saint, also called the totem god, which is the spiritual sustenance of the tribe and is very important.
It is said that the totem gods of the tribe have magical abilities and can protect the tribesmen. There are many legends about the totem gods of the deer tribe in the past.
I don't know how many years this ancient vine has grown. It's really huge. Everyone who sees it will be extremely impressed, and it's easy to think of it as a god.
Since Jiang Xuan decided to establish a new tribe here, what could be more suitable as a totem than this ancient vine?
Chi Shao said: "Okay, we will call it the Teng tribe from now on, Xuan, you will be the leader of the tribe!"
Chi Shao didn't wait for Jiang Xuan to answer, and asked the three young men again, "Do you agree with Xuan being the leader of the tribe?"
"agree!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
The three teenagers have always admired Jiang Xuan. Jiang Xuan also proposed to build a new tribe. How could they disagree?
Chi Shao smiled and said to Jiang Xuan, "Xuan, everyone agrees."
Jiang Xuan was moved silently in his heart. In fact, in terms of strength, Chi Shao was more suitable to be the leader, but Chi Shao could not refuse to give it to him.
Jiang Xuan nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I will be the leader of the Vine Tribe in the future, and I will do my best to grow our Vine Tribe!"
Everyone laughed, and they began to look forward to the day when the tribe grew stronger.
After staying on the stone mountain for half an hour, they climbed back down the ancient vine and returned to the ground.
Standing in front of Gu Teng, Jiang Xuan carefully carved a pattern on a large stone beside him.
He engraved a shrunken and simplified version of an ancient vine.
"From now on, this pattern will be the totem pattern of our rattan tribe!"
Jiang Xuan announced this very important event, and asked everyone to keep this totem pattern firmly in mind. It will be engraved on all the territories of the Vine tribe in the future.
He found a moist brown soil at the foot of the stone mountain, and carefully painted this new totem pattern on the faces of Chi Shao and others.
For the totem pattern on his own face, Chi Shao helped him draw it.
After the totem pattern was drawn, Jiang Xuan, who was wearing an animal skin coat, stood in front of the ancient vine and led everyone to pray to the tribe's totem god, asking the vine **** to protect the new tribe.
I don't know why, after this set of simple rituals, the five people could clearly feel their wandering hearts, and they gradually settled down. Or, this is the benefit of having spiritual sustenance.
