The days after the snow fell were more quiet and less noisy. Sometimes Han Cheng sat in front of the window in a daze, feeling as if time had stood still.

This was of course an illusion, because when he looked back, he realized that many days had passed in this seemingly static state.

There were piles of stones in the open space between the old wall and the new wall, and a lot of burnt charcoal was piled in the empty charcoal room.

As the days passed, the people in the tribe began to feel excited unconsciously.

Whether adults or children, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the annual, fascinating New Year.

Dazzlingly delicious food, lit firecrackers, brand new clothes... these things are an important reason why they are so obsessed with the New Year.

As for the terrifying Nian beast, the people in the tribe were not worried, because under the leadership of the Son of God and their efforts, the terrifying creature had never dared to approach their tribe...

When everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the New Year, Han Cheng called the members of the trading team over and asked them to take some bacon and other food, as well as four sheep and two bundles of clothes sewn by the women of the tribe, and left the tribe and headed towards the Tongshan residential area.

The Chinese New Year is coming, and this group of people in Tongshan residential area are destined to celebrate the New Year there.

These are people who have contributed a lot to the tribe. Han Cheng doesn't want them to feel sad while they are far away from home at such an important moment.

In the Tongshan residential area.

As the heavy snow fell, the Tongshan residential area became much quieter.

In the past, I worked hard all day, but I would be so sleepy at night that I would fall asleep quickly after dinner, and I didn’t feel that life was that difficult.

Now that life is more leisurely, many people are not able to adapt to it.

I just feel that the day that used to be so light that it didn't exist now seems particularly long.

As the snow fell longer and longer, the people who stayed in the Tongshan residential area missed the warm and lively tribe more and more.

That’s where the Son of God is, that’s where they’re fighting for, that’s where their roots are.

Although they have no such concept at all, this feeling that they cannot express in words does exist truly in their hearts.

As time went by, especially when people thought of the annual New Year celebration in the tribe, more and more people would go to the wall and look in the direction of the tribe.

More and more people looked out the windows at the bluebird flag fluttering in the cold wind.

They had no way of celebrating this New Year because although there was no shortage of food here, it was far less abundant than that in the big tribes.

And there is no Son of God here, no...

"Look over there!"

In this slightly sad and dull atmosphere, a man standing on the wall and looking far to the east suddenly shouted loudly.

"It's the people from the tribe! It's the people from the tribe! The people from the tribe are coming!"

After seeing the flag flying at the front of the team from afar, and seeing some deer and dogs running in the snow, the man instantly started shouting excitedly.

The reaction is more intense than that of a cat whose tail is stepped on.

After such cheers were heard, the quiet Tongshan residential area instantly became boiling.

Everyone rushed out of the house quickly. After a short pause, the gate of the newly built Tongshan residential area opened wide, and many people rushed out from here, shouting and yelling towards the tribe members in the distance, happy like a 300-pound fat man...

With the arrival of the trade team, the Tongshan residential area, which had been silent for a long time, finally became lively.

The fire was burning brightly, cooking millet porridge with bacon to warm the members of the trading team who had come from afar.

Junior Brother Sha and others had been stationed in Tongshan for a long time, so when they saw these familiar faces, they felt very warm.

"The Son of God said that he was worried that you wouldn't have a good New Year here, so he asked us to come here to deliver something..."

Shang, who was also feeling a little excited, held the hot tea bowl, took two sips of tea, and then spoke.

“…These are new clothes that the Son of God had made, one set for each person.

This is the salted meat from the tribe, and this is the wine, which we drink during the New Year..."

While Mao was talking, he took things out like a magic trick. Before long, the house was filled with a pile of things, which looked a bit nagging among the pieces.

However, these things and these actions made the people who stayed in the Tongshan residential area, led by Junior Brother Sha, feel warm in their hearts. Some people even felt a sour and hot feeling rising from their abdomens and instantly rushing to their foreheads.

Shen Zi and other people in the tribe did not forget about me and others. In such weather, they sent a trade team to come over in the heavy snow to bring me and others gifts for the New Year...

The joy of seeing the visitors from the tribe, as well as Mao's somewhat nagging narration and the things displayed in the houses mixed together, warmed the entire Tongshan residential area.

The people from the tribe were very attentive and even cut some bamboo and brought it over for the people in the Tongshan residential area to burn during the New Year.

In such a heart-warming atmosphere, Junior Brother Sha suddenly realized something.

Even with all these things sent by the Son of God, it was not easy for them to have a good year.

It’s not that the things delivered were not sufficient and comprehensive, but Junior Brother Sha suddenly remembered that the stone was not here.

Without the stone, they could not determine exactly when the new year would arrive.

There is no way to accurately determine when the New Year will arrive, so there is naturally no way to talk about how to have a good New Year.

It seems that we can only wait until the time is right to choose a similar day for the Nian monster to come, and then shout and beat drums for a period of time in the future to prevent it from coming.

"Oh, yes, there is also this."

Mao said this later as if he suddenly remembered something.

Then he took out a piece of pottery from a package.

These pottery plates are carved with rows of neatly arranged small grids, with the moon drawn in the grids according to the pattern of waxing and waning, and numbers such as 1, 2, 3, and 4 marked below the moon.

This is a calendar deduced from stone. Although there are inevitably some errors in it, as long as the tribe uses the same calendar, it will not have much impact on the tribe at present.

Some of the squares on the calendar have diagonal lines drawn on them, starting from the day they left the tribe.

"One day is marked, and after marking here, it is the New Year..."

Mao thought about the instructions given by the Son of God before he left, and pointed to one of the squares without a moon drawn on it and said to Junior Brother Sha.

Junior Brother Sha’s eyes immediately lit up. This was a really good idea!

(When I woke up this morning, I saw that the leader ATshu had rewarded another leader. It has been a long time since I received a large reward. I felt like I had been given a shot of chicken blood. I was no longer sleepy, and my fingers no longer hurt... Let me finish the remaining two chapters first, and then start to update slowly. The support of book friends is the biggest motivation for writing. Thank you!)
