I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar
Chapter 652 The Wise Man (First Update)
Xia Chujian took Qilu back to the boat, took the rope and tied up the "racing crab".
The side with the shell open is facing up, and the shelled part is facing down, so that it can be dragged on the beach without soiling the meat inside.
It was so big that Xia Chujian didn't have the tools to pack the meat inside, so that was all she could do.
The female native happily dragged the rope and led the way.
Xia Chujian didn't help with the dragging. He just kept looking at the scenery around him and memorizing the route in his mind.
The two entered the mountain and walked along the mountain path for half an hour, and finally came to an open and flat place in the woods.
It was obviously cut down.
The tree stumps are still on the ground, but they have become tree stumps for placing food.
There were piles of bonfires burning on the ground, just like the bonfire beside the big rock on the beach when Xia Chujian just now.
However, there are some cages made of tree branches set up on the bonfire here, and pieces of freshly cut cockroach meat are placed on the cages and are being grilled.
Xia Chujian raised his eyebrows and asked the native woman: "What kind of tree is this? Why can it be roasted on the fire? It is not ignited by the fire?"
It can actually be used as a barbecue cover just like barbed wire.
The female native hurriedly said: "This is called an iron tree, and it can't be burned in the first place!"
Xia Chujian was greatly surprised: "Iron tree? Is its trunk really iron?"
The female native looked at her blankly and said, "...The iron tree is just a tree. What is iron?"
Xia Chujian said: "...Then why do you call it Iron Tree?"
The female aborigine was about to be questioned about autism. She murmured: "They are all called that... My grandpa and grandma taught my father and mother this way, and then my father and mother taught me this..."
Xia Chujian was speechless. After a while, he said, "Where are your grandpa, grandma, dad and mom?"
The female native actually lowered her head and said very sadly: "They are all dead. My grandpa and grandma died before I was born, and my grandma died when I was very young. My dad... no Know where..."
Xia Chujian had no choice but to ask again: "Then how old are you?"
Female Aboriginal: "...What does it mean to be old?"
Xia Chujian: "I just asked you how old you are!"
The female native was at a loss for a while, then suddenly stood up and said: "I understand, you go talk to the wizard from the tribe nearby us!"
"Although Lord Wizard is not from our tribe, the several tribes near us combined are not as powerful as him!"
Xia Chujian suddenly remembered that the young man he met in the previous level "The Raging Sea" said "Master Wizard"...
Could it be the same person?
Xia Chu met and immediately became interested.
She said: "Where is the wizard? Can I see him?"
The female native said excitedly: "Of course!"
With that said, she stood up, took Xia Chujian's arm, and walked deeper into the woods.
They walked through the vast woods for about half an hour and finally came to another clearing.
This clearing is also full of crooked shacks, but in the center of the clearing, there is a small wooden house that looks familiar.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
This cabin looks like the one in the Forest of Alien Beasts...
Could it be that all the cabins in the woods all over the world look similar?
Xia Chujian had never studied the cabin before, so he didn't know if this was the case.
She stood at the door of the cabin and watched the female native rub her hands on the animal skin around her waist before knocking on the door respectfully and saying, "Master Wizard, I am Ye Luo from the nearby Seven Kills tribe. Our tribe The clan leader here, Master Qisha, came to visit the Master Wizard."
"Our Lord Seven Kills killed the Eye of Knapp at the beach and also killed the Earfish, and dragged both the Earfish and the Eye of Knapp into our tribe!"
Xia Chu was amazed when he heard this.
She never thought that this savage-like indigenous woman would have such a nice name!
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask: "You call it Ye Ye Luo? What does it mean? Does it mean the leaves on the tree fall?"
The female native smiled shyly and said, "Yes, Master Qisha is so smart! My grandma said that I was born when the leaves fell, so I am called Ye Ye Luo."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She had an idea and said: "This name is good, but without a surname, it is always bad."
"I'll give you a last name, Su. Su means white and clean."
"My name is still Ye Luo, so you can call me 'Su Ye Luo'. How about that?"
Su Yeluo was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his hands above his head to salute Xia Chujian and said, "Thank you, Lord Qisha! I will be called Su Yeluo from now on!"
Xia Chujian said: "When we go back, I will teach you how to write your name."
Su Yeluo was even more shocked: "Sir Qisha can also write?! Aren't you also a wizard... No, you are a witch!"
With that said, Su Yeluo knelt down again and kowtowed to Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly helped her up.
The two of them were acting like a big show in front of the cabin, and the wizard in the room seemed speechless.
The door of the cabin opened with a creak, and the bearded wizard stood at the door, frowning at Xia Chujian.
When Xia Chu met, he turned around and saw this old man with a white beard, white hair, and skin that was even more delicate than a young man. He almost blurted out: "Immortal style!"
This look is really similar to those old grandfathers in the Xingwang Xiu Xian article...
Xia Chujian's mind was racing with random thoughts.
The wizard's gaze had already moved to Su Yeluo, who had just stood up.
His expression softened a little and he said: "Ye Luo, you are here..."
Su Yeluo immediately interrupted him and said: "Master Wizard, the leader of our clan, Master Qisha, has given me a name. My name is Su Yeluo, not Ye Yeluo."
There is still a difference in the pronunciation of Su and Shu in the standard dialect of the Beichen Empire.
However, in the dialect of Guiyuan Star Mulan City, the pronunciation of Su and Shu are the same, without the retroflex sound.
Xia Chujian discovered at this time that the words spoken by these indigenous people 10,000 years ago were the standard Beichen language, which was almost the same as the current standard Beichen language.
But she thought again, this was in a simulation game, and the language setting was the same as in reality. It must be to make it easier for players to pass the game.
Just imagine if the language spoken by humans 10,000 years ago was really used in the game, the system would not be able to equip each player with a language translator...
Xia Chujian complained in his heart, but looked at the white-bearded old man, the wizard, without blinking.
The wizard's expression was indeed a little distorted, but he quickly returned to normal and said kindly: "Your tribe now has a clan leader, which is good."
As he said that, he looked at Xia Chujian and said, "Are you the new patriarch of the Qisha tribe, Qisha?"
Xia Chujian raised his hand and said, "Qi Sha has met the wizard."
The wizard raised his hand and stroked his long beard, nodded and said: "Hello, I am a wizard from the Changgeng tribe. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."
Xia Chujian immediately said: "I just want to ask how the tribes here now keep track of time."
The Master Wizard's hand stroking his beard paused and said, "You are asking, how do we keep track of time?"
Xia Chujian nodded: "Yes!"
The wizard smiled and said, "When the sun rises and sets, we carve wood to tell time, and we tie ropes to record events."
"One day and one night, the hourglass will flow for twelve rounds, and each round will engrave a mark on the wood. Every twelve rounds is a day and night."
"Thirty days and nights is one month."
"Twelve months is a year."
"What goes around comes again and again, and never changes."
When Xia Chu saw it, he thought, it’s not bad.
She had learned it in school. This was early astronomy knowledge, so the calendar with twelve hours in a day, thirty days in a month, and twelve months in a year had already appeared in this era.
She breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Su Yeluo and asked the wizard: "Then do you know how old she is?"
The wizard glanced at Su Yeluo and said, "She was born sixteen years ago when the leaves fell, and I delivered her myself."
After a pause, he added: "I am... Su Yeluo's father."
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
But looking at Su Yeluo's indifferent look, she seemed to have no special feelings about the word "father".
Xia Chujian asked curiously: "You are Su Yeluo's father, so why are you in the Changgeng tribe while Su Yeluo is in the Qisha tribe?"
The wizard said: "Because Su Yeluo's mother is from the Qisha tribe, here, all the children live with their mother's tribe."
Xia Chujian said he understood.
There is no model for marriage yet. Everyone comes if they agree and leaves if they don't.
The wizard added: "Su Yeluo's mother has passed away."
Xia Chujian looked at Su Yeluo and quickly changed the subject and said, "Su Yeluo, it turns out you are sixteen years old."
Su Yeluo was still a little sad when she heard the wizard talking about her mother.
But she couldn't understand the rest of the words, and looked at her and the wizard blankly, not knowing what they were talking about.
The wizard sighed and said, "So what if you know your age? Few people in our tribe can reach the age of eighteen."
"The average life expectancy here is only sixteen years old..."
"Many people die after birth, and when they reach the age of twenty, they start looking for a burial place for themselves."
Xia Chujian was silent.
It turns out that Su Yeluo is almost at the end of her life?
Xia Chujian knew that the living environment ten thousand years ago was harsh, but he did not expect it to be so bad.
But all this has nothing to do with her.
She just wanted to clear the level as soon as possible.
But in this situation where most people are ignorant, only the wizard is the wise man.
If she wants to clear the level, she still needs to talk to the wizard more in order to get more clues.
So Xia Chujian asked: "Then why do people here have such short life spans?"
"Is it because of disease, wild animals, natural disasters, or man-made disasters?"
The wizard walked out of the cabin, leaning on a very straight wooden stick as a cane.
He looked at the crooked shacks in the forest clearing in front of him and sighed: "They are all there...but the most serious ones are beasts. To be precise, they should be sea beasts."
Xia Chujian immediately remembered the monsters crawling out from the bottom of the sea in the trailer.
This is the first update, the second update will be at 1pm.
