Chapter 18 Son of God



Before the meal officially starts, the food distributed by the eldest brother is not counted in the total food.

It was also because of this that after the rest of the families received food, the lame wife was still able to get two fish less than one foot long.

"Fish, eat."

Lame, who had stopped crying, pushed the big fish in his arms to his wife who had brought back the food, and said with a smile.

Lame's wife shook her head, pushed the fish to Lame and said, "Fish, you eat it."

As he said this, he pointed to the two pieces he had received, meaning that these were what you deserved and we still had these two pieces to eat.

Seeing that his wife refused to eat the fish, Lame thought for a moment and took the fish back.

He did not eat the meat first. Instead, he opened the fish's belly and then took out the fish's internal organs. With a smile on his face, he began to eat with relish.

After eating all the fish's internal organs, he began to eat the fish properly.

However, the first part that is attacked is not the spine where there is the most meat, but the head and tail where there is not much meat.

After eating from these two places, Bo felt full without taking many bites of the good meat.

He handed the fish to the two eagerly looking children and said with a smile: "Fish, eat."

Compared to Bo and others who wanted to chew all the fish bones into pieces before eating, Han Cheng had a hard time eating.

Because the grilled fish in hand was not cleaned like the other fish.

Because it is a grilled fish, you don't have to worry too much about the scales, as they are basically roasted off. Even if they are not roasted off, they can be easily peeled off with your hands. The most terrible thing is the fish head without gills and the internal organs in the belly of the fish.

One is bitter, and the other is slippery and full of mud and sand.

Han Cheng really couldn't bring himself to do this, so he could only quietly pick them out and throw them into the fire.

If other children behaved like this, they would probably be slapped on the buttocks to teach them a lesson to save food through pain, but Han Cheng obviously would not experience such a thing.

Not to mention his strange origins, the mere fact that he brought food to the tribe was enough to make people turn a blind eye to his minor shortcomings.

After dinner, many people hummed comfortably. It had been a long time since they had eaten so heartily since the beginning of winter.

It feels so good to fill an empty stomach with food.

However, the people in the cave did not find a place to sleep soon after eating as they did in the past. It was not that they did not want to sleep, but the witch had people light a fire near the inner cave where he lived for lighting.

The feather crown and bone staff enshrined on the stone in front of the totem pole once again appeared on the witch's head and in his hands.

Instead, there was a fish that was newly caught today.

Everyone gathered outside the inner cave, looking at the witch inside who was singing and dancing with a feather crown on her head and a bone staff in her hand.

The witch performed the sacrifice more piously this time. He felt that the gods really appeared this time. He had just prayed to the gods today, and such a great thing happened before evening.

Their tribe no longer has to worry about food throughout the winter!

With enough food in his stomach, Wu danced more vigorously. He did this for a while until sweat started to flow from his forehead.

The witch who was dancing in a very primitive style suddenly stopped and came to Han Cheng.

With Han Cheng's face full of surprise, he was led by the witch's hand to the totem pole.

The witch asked Han Cheng to turn around and face the people in the tribe with his back to the totem pole.

He continued to dance, occasionally circling around Han Cheng's body.

Han Cheng thought of the fish placed in front of the totem pole as a sacrifice, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Could it be that the witch wanted to sacrifice himself to the gods?

This time the dance didn't last long. He stopped right in front of Han Cheng, pointed at Han Cheng with one hand, pointed the bone staff in the other hand at the sky and the totem pole behind Han Cheng, and said loudly and devoutly: "Son of God!"

Han Cheng's eyes widened instantly. It was just a matter of breaking the ice to catch fish. How could he become the Son of God? !

This witch's imagination is really amazing!

However, his eyes soon returned to normal because he realized how much influence he would have in the tribe with this identity.

Moreover, it would be much more convenient for him to do other things in the future.

The Son of God is the Son of God, as long as he is practical.

"Son of God!"

"Son of God!"

Wu kept shouting like this for three times, then turned around and faced Han Cheng like the others. He then placed the hand holding the bone staff on his chest, bowed and said devoutly, "Son of God."

The rest of the tribe was infected and followed the witch's example, placing their right hands on their left chests and shouting incoherently, "Son of God," in response to Han Cheng's clumsy disrespect.

For a moment, Han Cheng, who was standing in front of the totem pole, was the only one in the tribe who stood upright, while the rest of the people all bowed.

The flickering firelight illuminated Han Cheng's young face. He looked at the people who were bowing reverently to him and sniffed slightly.

Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect that his original intention was just to find food to fill the tribe's stomachs, but he didn't expect that it would be covered with a layer of sacred halo.

Is this what it means when good things happen to good people, or when an unexpected effort leads to a great harvest?

The ceremony was over and everyone who had gathered had dispersed, but not many people actually fell asleep.

One reason was that they had heard about fishing under the ice from Lame and several other women who had gone to spear fish, and they all wanted to go and see before dawn to see if it was really as they said, that the fish would stay there and not move for you to spear.

Secondly, it was because a Son of God appeared in the tribe. Thinking about his origins from the sky, and thinking about how he could tell everyone how to catch fish under the ice today and resolve the tribe’s serious food crisis, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong in calling him the Son of God.

Han Cheng's salary has obviously increased, and is almost comparable to Wu's.

For example, he lived in the inner cave with the witch, and the covering he had was also covered with thick fur, just like the witch's.

This made him sigh that it was comfortable to have a high status. No wonder in later generations, everyone tried their best to become the superior one.

It was daybreak. The people in the tribe got up unusually early today. After a quick breakfast, the eldest brother asked everyone to take stone harpoons and other things, go out of the cave and head to the creek to experience fishing on the ice themselves.

Han Cheng originally didn't want to go, but he was worried that they would make holes in the ice and break the ice into the river, so he had to go to the river together despite the severe cold.

After a night, the three ice holes that were smashed yesterday had been frozen shut.

Han Cheng asked the rest of the people to stand on the shore and watch, and called over the experienced Bo to demonstrate for everyone.

Bo limped down the ice holding the stone, looking very excited. Since he injured his leg, he has never been so glorious as he is now. No, even when his leg was healed, he was not so glorious.

He looked at Han Cheng, and Han Cheng nodded at him, indicating that they could start. He took a deep breath and threw the stone in his hand towards the entrance of yesterday's cave.

Although the entrance of the cave was sealed with ice, the ice was not too thick because it had not been there for long. It did not take too much time for Lame to smash the hole open again.

Everyone stared at the ice cave without blinking, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Including Lame who had caught fish yesterday and the other six female primitives.

"fish!"

A child pointed at a fish that came out from the hole in the ice and started shouting excitedly.

Before his shouting stopped, three more fish swam to the cave entrance to breathe.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was excited, including the eldest brother!

They roared and rushed onto the ice, ready to make as many holes as possible to get enough food for the tribe.

Han Cheng, who had already been mentally prepared, immediately shouted loudly at everyone to stop when he saw this.

If they all rushed onto the ice together like this, not only would there be no chance of catching any fish, but the entire tribe would be wiped out and fall into the river to feed the fish.

If it were in the past, at this time, no one in the tribe would listen to Han Cheng, but now it is different.

Everyone stopped as they were told and looked at their Son of God, wondering what he had to say.

Han Cheng talked and gestured for a long time before he finally made them understand that too many people should not be allowed to go in one place at one time, otherwise they would fall into the water.

Then Han Cheng went down to the ice himself, and every ten feet or so, he chose a place close to the shore to place a piece of dry grass to indicate that this was the place to make a hole.

Then he stopped the second brother who was eager to try, and did not let him go on the ice. He specifically told the eldest brother to keep an eye on him and only allowed him to transport fish on the shore, not to go on the ice.

With his weight, if he stood at the entrance of the cave, he would most likely fall into the river with the others!

After seeing the fish with their own eyes, these people were filled with energy.

For a while, the sound of chiseling ice was heard continuously.

Han Cheng patrolled back and forth on the shore, making corrections from time to time, and he suddenly became a leader who only talked but did not take action.

You know what, it feels really good to watch others work.

Of course, it would be better if the weather was not so cold, or if I had a down jacket to wear.
