The fiber of hemp can be used to weave cloth, the seeds can be eaten or extracted for oil, and the bean is a delicacy. Before many tribes in the wilderness had learned to plant, the Qingshui clan had specially opened up the wilderness to sow and harvest every year. Get
With these seeds, it would certainly be a great thing if we could follow the example of the Qingshui clan members and successfully sow seeds according to season.
Ruoshan told his tribe members his guess: the Qingshui clan suffered a catastrophe, and a group of powerful murderers came from the distant mountains, slaughtering all the residents here and burning the village. The cellar under the altar was a secret room
, to store the precious collections of the Qingshui clan. When the disaster came, someone put the baby into the secret room.
But the Qingshui clan was all killed, and no one could come back to rescue the baby. But a psychic beast passed by, sensed the baby's breath, dug up the cellar, and took out the bamboo basket containing the baby. This
The baby is the only orphan left by the Qingshui clan, and is protected by the gods.
Everyone has seen what happened today. This child had such a strange experience when he was a baby. He must be a very special person in the future. It may be that the gods showed up and couldn't bear to see the Qingshui clan extinct, so they kept him. It was also a gift from their tribe.
It was a gift, so the tribesmen wanted to take the baby back and raise it well.
The tribesmen believed this deeply and praised Ruoshan chief for his broad knowledge and ability to know what others didn't know. Ruoshan held the baby in his arms and ordered: "Check the city carefully to see if there is anyone else who can be saved and what else is useful."
I don’t know if the murderers are still around. We can’t stay here for long. We retreat to the mountains to find a place to light a fire for the night and return to the village at dawn tomorrow.”
At sunset, Ruoshan held the surviving baby in his arms and led the crowd to leave the ruins of the city wall under the setting sun. Their bags contained various things found in the ruins. There was a woman hiding in the clouds watching them leave,
On the top of the distant treetop, Li Qingshui quietly watched this scene.
…
Deep in the mountains, there is an open and gentle slope, backed by a dense forest of peaks and extending down to the edge of a cliff. There is a spring in the mountain forest. The spring water merges into a stream and flows around the slope into the ravine under the cliff, forming a trickle waterfall.
.The terrain on both sides of the gentle slope is relatively low. When there is heavy rain, the flash flood will not hit the center of the slope. A village is built here.
There are more than 400 men, women, old and young living in the village. They are a tribe in the mountains. Such barbaric people usually do not have any inherited clan names and are not called so-and-so clans, but they also have totems and clan names. Here
The tribesmen are called Lu people or Lucun people, and this village is called Lucun.
According to the patriarch Ruoshan, the descendants of Emperor Taihao entered Ba Yuan from a very far away place a long time ago and established the Ba Kingdom. An ancestor of the Lu tribe was recruited by the Ba Kingdom to participate in the construction of a road through the plains and mountains.
Later, he returned to the tribe in the mountains and was called "Wuding who built the road", or Lu Wuding for short. Later, this tribe took Lu as their surname and was called the Lu tribe.
The so-called clan surname only shows the origin and the difference from other tribes. The tribesmen in the wilderness have not yet had the awareness to use surnames. For example, Ruoshan will introduce himself to foreigners, "I am Ruoshan of the Lu tribe", but it is not customary.
Say "My name is Lu Ruoshan".
The names of the tribesmen may seem random but they are also very particular. The meaning of mountain is not only strong, but also a symbol of stability, strength and reliability. Although Ruoshan is not very tall, he is very strong. He is the strongest guardian of the tribesmen.
He is the most reliable and trustworthy patriarch.
People of the Lu tribe, young and old, all call Ruoshan Shanye. In fact, Ruoshan does not look old. If he didn’t have that goatee and combed his fluffy hair, he would even look young and handsome. But he has indeed protected the Lu tribe.
Yulu Village has been around for many years. According to the elderly in the village, Ruoshan was already the clan leader when they were children, and his appearance has not changed much compared to now.
There is another mysterious figure like Ruoshan in Lucun, her name is Ruoshui. Everyone calls Ruoshan Shanye, and Ruoshui is called Granny Shui. According to the elders in the village, Granny Shui already lived in the village when they were young.
The appearance of the house at the back has not changed so far. I am afraid that only Mr. Shan knows how many years Granny Shui has spent here.
Although Ruoshui is called mother-in-law, she is actually very young and beautiful. She often wears long hair and a long Gebu skirt, sitting outside the house spinning cloth, hiding the vicissitudes of the years in her clear and soft eyes.
After that, people in the village respected Patriarch Ruoshan and were in awe of Grandma Shui. Even the naughtiest children often seemed very honest in front of her.
Ruoshan is the clan leader, the person who leads the clansmen to worship their ancestors and mountain gods. The belief and worship of primitive tribes is relatively chaotic and ignorant. The so-called ancestor is not necessarily the Lu Wuding who left the clan name, but a general symbol.
The origin of "" also means the grace that bestows life. The mountains are a place of nourishment, providing everything the tribesmen need to survive, and the mountain god is a personified symbol. In fact, all mysterious things between heaven and earth are possible.
