The people of the Green Bird tribe have not systematized their language, so naturally there won't be many exciting stories.
Otherwise, the short stories such as "The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother", "The Monkey Catching the Moon", and "The Little Monkey Going Down the Mountain" that Han Cheng had told to help the tribe members learn to read would not have caused such a sensation.
Such a simple story can fascinate the people in the tribe, not to mention "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" which is so much more advanced than it!
Everyone listened attentively, their thoughts all following Han Cheng's description, and they were completely immersed in the story.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The story tells that the Weaver Girl was forcibly taken away by the witch of the evil tribe, and the couple was separated. The people of the Green Bird tribe who gathered around to listen to the story were all furious.
Some were pounding their chests, some were gasping for breath... Shang's reaction was even more violent. He turned around, took the stone spear, quickly climbed up the courtyard wall, pointed the spear to the sky, and roared angrily at the brilliant galaxy in the sky, wanting to stab the evil witch of the evil tribe to death with his spear!
Han Cheng was stunned for a moment when he saw everyone's intense reactions.
He had never imagined that his mind was wandering just by looking at the starry sky, and that because of Shi Tou's question, he told the story that was well-known in later generations with a slight modification, which would make this group of people so angry.
This is much more fascinating than what I saw in later life.
Seeing more people climbing up the courtyard wall, some of them were pointing their fingers at the sky and cursing like Li Yuanba, and some were even throwing stones at the night sky with all their might. Han Cheng couldn't help but shrink his head.
Firstly, he was worried that he would be hit on the head by the stones thrown by these guys. Secondly, he was worried that God, who didn't want to take the blame, would be furious after such unwarranted insults and would send down thunder to take away these guys and take the storyteller with him as well.
Taking a quick glance at the starry night sky without seeing any trace of haze, Han Cheng secretly admired the magnanimity of God and hurriedly sent someone to call back these angry guys.
After venting their anger, everyone was still angry until Han Cheng started telling stories again, and then they calmed down.
It was not until Han Cheng finished speaking and he heard the witch of the evil tribe allow the two to meet once a year that his anger subsided a lot.
Of course, Han Cheng would not tell them about the idea that one day in heaven is equal to one year on earth. Even if he did, in an era when there was no concept of "year", it would be difficult for them to distinguish the relationship between them.
Everyone looked up at the brilliant starry sky and, following Han Cheng's instructions, identified among the stars the Altair and the Vega, which had just been named by Han Cheng. Their thoughts were drifting rapidly.
"Son of God, what is a cow?"
Shitou, who spoke Mandarin most fluently, asked.
Han Cheng thought for a while and began to explain to Shi Tou what a cow is and its function.
The crowd, who were originally looking up at the stars and reminiscing about that extremely magical and touching story, were gradually attracted by the new story told by the Son of God.
There is a very large creature called a cow that eats grass like a deer.
Cows can be used for food and to plow the soil, and they can do it many times faster than people using bone shovels...
The eyes of the people of the Qingque tribe, who were very familiar with soil turning and understood the hard work involved, lit up, some like stars in the night sky.
They couldn't help but wonder, how great it would be if their tribe also had cows and could use them to plow the land?
Shitou's eyes were also sparkling, but he was different from the eldest brother and others in that he was thinking of finding cows to plow the fields.
He wanted to cover himself with the cowhide and fly into the sky like the Cowherd.
The child often likes to look at the sky at night. He is fascinated by the brilliant and distant stars and has fantasized about flying into the night sky more than once.
He felt very sorry that he did not have wings like a bird. Tonight, he suddenly heard the magical story of "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" from the wisest Son of God, and he immediately became excited.
"Son of God, let's go find the cows!"
Shitou looked at Han Cheng, his eyes sparkling and filled with infinite joy.
The eldest brother and others also looked at Han Cheng expectantly.
Compared to the Altair and Vega stars that are far away in the sky and can only be seen but not touched, and the touching story, they care more about things that are related to their own interests.
From the reactions of the eldest brother and others, we can tell that they have never seen a cow. There is no trace of cow in the items used for trading by the nearby tribes or on their clothing. It seems unlikely that there are cows nearby.
Cows are good at plowing the land. Before four-wheel tractors or two-wheeled tractors were invented, they have always been the main force in plowing the land. They have more endurance than horses and donkeys, and are more hardworking and endure hardships.
Han Cheng wanted to pursue a farming career, so cattle naturally became an important part of it, and of course he had to look for them.
Han Cheng nodded vigorously: "Well, find a cow!"
Everyone who was looking at him expectantly couldn't help but smile when they saw this.
After listening to the story of "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" told by the Son of God and learning the various uses of the cow, they couldn't wait to bring this magical animal into the Green Bird Tribe, just like they did with the deer and rabbits.
"Not now. We can only go and look for cattle when we become stronger."
When everyone heard this, their joy could not help but pause.
Many people looked at the high walls, then at the meat hanging under the eaves, which was only a black shadow at this time, and recalled the many fruits piled up in the cave, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Aren't they strong enough now?
Someone asked the question in his mind, and Han Cheng nodded with a smile: "Compared with the neighboring tribes, we are indeed stronger, but this is not enough..."
Han Cheng cited the example of how the Bone Tribe arrived yesterday while they were out.
Everyone thought about it and felt that what the Son of God said made sense. Their tribe was indeed stronger than the surrounding tribes, but it was not strong enough to the extent that after sending out some people to look for cattle, the remaining people could still protect the tribe from harm.
"Then when will I become stronger?"
Han Cheng thought for a moment and said, "When we have enough adults, we will have more food than we can eat, and our weapons will be sharper..."
Everyone was excited at first, but then became distressed.
There was too much food to eat. With fish cages, several animals raised in the tribe, and crops grown, this was not too difficult to do. Weapons...
Thinking about their stone spears and the new rattan shields made by the Son of God, they felt that these were enough, but it was really difficult to find enough adults!
Although there are many babies in the tribe now, it will take a very long time for these babies to grow up.
It is unclear whether they will be there by then.
Even if they are still alive, many people are no longer suitable for going out to work hard.
Thinking of this, they would of course feel uncomfortable. They all wanted to personally capture the cow that the Son of God said would be of great use to the tribe and make a contribution to the tribe.
Some people have expressed this concern.
So far, only the three giants of the Qingque tribe know about using salt to slowly conquer the surrounding tribes, and the rest of the people are completely unaware.
Han Cheng looked at the witch who was wrapped in thick fur beside him, and his eldest senior brother. The three of them smiled at each other with a rather treacherous look.
"Won't!……"
Han Cheng gave a positive answer, but he did not say how to increase the number of adults in the tribe without relying on babies.
Everyone in the Qingque tribe knows that the Son of God is intelligent. Since the Son of God said so, he must have a way!
I didn't ask any more questions, but raised my head and began to look up at the bright night sky.
As he recalled the story told by the Son of God and the magical cow, Shi Tou was not the only one who had the thought of finding the cow, killing it, covering himself with the cowhide, and flying into the sky.
Human beings’ yearning for the vast sky has never ceased.
Han Cheng did not expect that his story would greatly enhance the Qingque tribe's dream of flying.
