Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Shao Xuan stayed in the stone room every day, learned all the patterns at the end of the stone wall on the right, and also studied the paintings on the lower stone wall, thinking that it might be helpful in the future, anyway, idle is idle.

Winter is passing by day by day, and it is much calmer than expected. In the winter of this year, the children in the cave kept fish, plus the food and firewood distributed by the tribe, as well as some common winter herbs prepared for Shao Xuan, and nothing unexpected happened.

Two days ago, a younger child had a cold and a fever. Shao Xuan boiled the herbs given by Ge and poured it into him, and it stabilized within two days. As long as it lasts for this period of time, it will be fine. If the physique is too poor, the herbal medicine will be useless. If someone doesn't come over, it will be as extinct as the body of Shao Xuan's body. Fortunately, in the period before winter, the children in the cave ate well because they often went out for activities, and their physical fitness was also a little stronger, which was not as high as the incidence in previous winters.

In the stone room, Shao Xuan put a wool pad on the ground, and sometimes it was too late to study the murals, so he just slept here. His fingers drew a pattern on the ground. After drawing one, Shao Xuan sighed. Two-thirds of the winter had passed, and there were still about twenty or thirty days left. It would be much better if the days passed. It felt like staying in the cave every day. The whole person will be moldy and rusted, and the spirit will be wilted.

Just thinking about it, Caesar, who was lying beside him, moved his ears and looked outside the stone chamber.

Then Shao Xuan heard Ge's shout.

Today shouldn't be the day to make an appointment with Ge to deliver food. Could it be that I stayed in the stone room thinking too much and lost my mind?

With doubts, Shao Xuan walked out of the stone room and went there to have a look.

"Uncle Ge, what are you doing here?" Shao Xuan looked at the triangles on the stone wall that he specially used to keep track of time. Because Ge came every three days, Shao Xuan didn't use the word "zheng" to mark it. At the time, it was a drawn triangle, but now the last triangle is still missing a stroke, that is to say, the grid should come over tomorrow.

Grid shook the snow on his clothes next to the fire, took out a roll of animal skins, and said, "I'm here to find someone, all those who are over eleven years old are called here."

Shao Xuan took the animal skin roll over and looked at it. There were seven names written on it, including Jieba and Tu. The two over there seemed to be thinking of something, their eyes brightened, and they looked here expectantly.

The name written on the animal skin scroll was the same as what Shao Xuan knew, and he called people over, and two of them who were still sleeping were grabbed. When someone who was forced to wake up from sleep and was still a little confused, saw Ge and the children who were already standing next to Ge, his hand rubbed his eyes and he suddenly packed up quickly, grinning and jumping up and down. next to the grid.

Grid's gaze paused on the fish-tooth necklaces hanging around the necks of the seven children, and then swept over the plaques with their names on them, checking them one by one. He is usually in charge of delivering food, and he also has an impression of the children in the cave, but this time, things should not be sloppy and must be confirmed again and again.

"Yes, just these seven."

Putting away the animal skin roll, he threw a leather cloak to each of the seven children, and said, "Put it on, follow me out later... Mo Er, you too."

More was eleven after the winter and ten now.

Hearing Ge's words, More was wearing clothes and carrying the knife on his back. Unlike other children who were either excited or envious, he walked over calmly, as if he had expected such a thing.

"Okay, Ah Xuan, you continue to sleep, I'll leave with someone first, and I will deliver food on time tomorrow." Ge opened the straw curtain and left with a few children.

Shao Xuan opened the outermost thick straw curtain by a crack.

The cold wind blowing in made my eyes hurt, and my vision was a little blurry, but I could still see the thick snow outside the cave and the road that had been barred. Even higher, the little figures were shivering from the cold, but they still followed the grid closely, without the slightest sign of retreat, but with urgency.

Putting down the straw curtain, Shao Xuan returned to the cave. The rest of the children in the cave were no longer sleepy and stared at the fire in a daze.

Shao Xuan knew why.

After the winter, there will be a snowstorm festival and sacrificial activities, and the most important thing in the sacrificial activities is the annual totem awakening, which can awaken the power of the totem. Just have to wait another year.

In the tribe, children of about ten years old are usually sent to the mountains for pre-selection before the end of winter. The witch will keep the children with a high probability of awakening, and send the other children back. However, compared with other children in the tribe, the children in the cave are generally in poor health, so they will be delayed by one year. In other places, they are sent up the mountain for pre-selection at the age of ten, while in the cave they are eleven years old. Moore is a special case. After all, Moore is not a pure caveman. Because of regular training, his physique is far better than other children.

The children who followed Ge in the past are definitely not at peace now, and they all hope to be left behind by Wu this time, because as long as it is left by Wu, 90% of them will awaken the power of the totem this time, even if the remaining 10% will not be awakened this time. , it will be successful next year.

Shao Xuan is only nine years old now, and he will be ten years old after winter. It is still early. He has nothing to do with him now. After Ge left, he told the children in the cave to go look for him if they had any problems, and then returned to the stone room to continue his research. mural.

Four days later, when Ge brought food over, he also brought back four children who were quite depressed, including Tu and Stutter. The eldest two thirteen-year-old children are not there, too, the two will be fourteen after the winter, and it will be a little abnormal if they don't wake up.

The previous "dong master" Ku was also thirteen years old. He knew people who lived on the mountainside, and he was probably preparing for training this winter. Many warriors believe that the stronger the body is before the totem power is awakened, the stronger the ability after awakening. Ask someone to stay on the mountainside for the winter, Ku can eat better, and be taught some experience by the totem warriors, which is much better than staying in a cave. This is also the reason why Ku didn't stay in the cave for the winter this year and went up to the mountain early.

"Don't be discouraged, sooner or later, maybe you can become a totem warrior next year." Ge comforted the four children who were depressed, put down the food and left.

"I really envy them who were left behind by the witch, and they can still accept the witch's teaching." said a child who was brought back by the grid.

"Hey, what did Wu tell you?" The other children also gathered around and asked.

"Witch..."

The four children who had their heads bowed suddenly raised their heads at forty-five degrees, with admiration and awe in their eyes.

Shao Xuan pouted beside him.

Still teach? Is it brainwashing?

That old jerk.

Shao Xuan only scolded a few words in his heart, but he couldn't say aloud. After seeing the four children, they were completely brainwashed by the old god in just a few days.

After this little episode, the cave was calm again. Although Tu and Zhiba were still depressed, life had to go on as usual.

One night, Shao Xuan slept in a daze. He dreamed of two crooked moons, a dream of melting ice and snow, and a dream of fire... Until he heard some shouting, and the shouting became louder and louder, knocking him away. Awakened from a dream.

The sound was not from the people in the cave, but from other places outside.

After the older child woke up, he listened carefully to the sound, and immediately smiled, "It must be winter!"

Shao Xuan yawned and wrapped himself in a fur blanket. It was still night, and the fire in the cave had already been extinguished. He couldn't see anything, only the children's discussions were heard everywhere.

Shao Xuan asked Caesar to take it with him and touched the hole.

The thick grass curtains were opened, and the shouting outside could be heard more clearly, and the excitement and joy in those voices could be heard.

Against the cold wind, Shao Xuan looked towards the night sky.

The snow stopped, and the two moons that had disappeared for a long time reappeared. Although they were only thin and curved shadows, they made the dark night sky a little more angry.

Winter is over, and the festivals of the Blizzard Festival are also on the agenda.

Wonder how many people will become totem warriors this year? This is what many people in the tribe thought when they shouted excitedly.

All over the tribe, there were people standing outside against the cold wind and looking at the night sky. Just as these people were no longer shouting excitedly and were discussing the upcoming Snow Festival, they suddenly heard a voice belonging to a child from the other side of the cave. roar.

"The moon is out, hey, hey, hey, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh!"
