"From here..."
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone who had rested here for a night packed up their luggage and continued their journey.
After walking for a while along the path they had taken when they came here before, under the leadership of Mao, the team deviated from the previous path and headed towards a place that had not been visited before.
This is the new walking route for this section of the journey that Han Cheng and Mao figured out last night.
If everything goes well, we can avoid two big bends, making the route as straight as possible, while also reducing a lot of distance.
The people who followed had no objection to this, as this matter was proposed by their Son of God, who also told them the benefits of doing so and the worst possible consequences.
Even if it was the worst outcome, they would still be able to accept it, not to mention that it was the Son of God who proposed this matter, and the Son of God had been with them all along...
Inside the Qingque main tribe, in the house where Han Cheng and Wu lived together, Wu once again put on the feather crown and prayed in front of the totem pole with a bone staff in his hand.
These days, the witch has been praying to the totem pole more and more frequently and for longer periods of time.
Because their Son of God took some people from the tribe and left the tribe to go south to find a warm place.
Up to now, I have been away from the tribe for three months.
But until now, their Son of God has not returned.
As the time that the Son of God and his companions were away increased, Wu felt more and more uneasy. He was always worried that the Son of God and his companions would encounter difficulties, or even that something even more unacceptable would happen.
Although he knew that the Son of God was extremely wise, and that those who left with him were all very strong, carrying weapons from the tribe, and were willing to risk their own lives to protect the Son of God, the witch still felt uneasy because the Son of God and his companions had been away for too long.
Your tribe can live without you, but it really cannot live without the Son of God.
So now, when praying to the totem pole, the witch often prays to the totem pole, saying that he is willing to use his own life in exchange for the safe return of the Son of God...
As time went by, it was not just Wu who was worried about Han Cheng and his group. Except for the newly joined slaves, all the other people in the Qingque tribe were worried about their Son of God.
The tribe really cannot be without the Son of God.
Even many people are regretting why they didn't leave with the Son of God at the beginning?
In this way, you don't have to feel this torment in the tribe.
Because of these emotions, everyone no longer felt happy about the great victory they had won before and the fact that so many new prisoners had been captured in the tribe.
As the sun was setting, the witch, with a hunched back, followed the stairs built on the inside of the outer wall and climbed up to the top of the outer wall. He squinted his cloudy eyes and looked towards the south.
That is the direction the Son of God and his companions left, and also the direction they returned.
Over the past few days, Wu has imagined countless times the scene of the Son of God and his companions returning from the south, but each time his anticipation was gradually replaced by disappointment.
Despite this, every time a new day comes, Wu will still have a strong hope, especially at dusk when the sun sets and the day is about to end, this hope will become stronger.
Sister Bai Xue, who loves raising silkworms and weaving, can't help but get impatient. After a while, she will walk out of the room and look towards the gate, or climb up the outer wall and look towards the south.
Sometimes, he would send Little Pea to take Little Xing'er, who could not walk steadily, to the gate to see if his father had returned.
When Brother Cheng left, it seemed as if he had taken all her thoughts away at once, leaving her worrying and missing him endlessly, unable to calm down.
When Brother Cheng was around, I didn’t feel anything before. But as soon as he left, I immediately felt that I missed him so much that I felt lost.
It's not just them, many people in the tribe are like this. The most common thing they do is to keep looking south.
Especially at dusk, many people in the tribe could not help but look south, hoping for the return of their Son of God.
The leader of the Grass Tribe, holding a hoe in his hand, looked at the man who was hoeing the ground with him and the many people on this land, who were all looking to the south from time to time. He stopped what he was doing, held the handle of the hoe with his hand, and looked to the south with everyone else.
After living in the Green Bird Tribe for nearly two months, the leader of the Grass Tribe is no longer as panicked and shocked as when he first arrived, and seems much calmer.
At this time, she has basically adapted to the life in the Qingque tribe.
Moreover, I also learned many tasks that I had never been exposed to before, and learned to use many tools that I had never seen before.
During this process, many blisters formed on her palms, and her palms were so painful that she almost dared not touch anything.
But now, this situation will no longer happen to her.
After working for so long, thick calluses have formed on her palms. These calluses are enough to allow her to handle many tools without hurting her palms.
During this process, she also understood more about the Qingque tribe.
For example, the tribe that they had previously attacked with the leader of the Blackrock tribe, which had caused their entire coalition to suffer heavy losses, was just a branch tribe of the Green Bird tribe.
For example, this tribe really had a lot of food that seemed to be endless, just as the dead bark said.
There are all kinds of magical and enviable things, more than what the bark says, and they are all more enviable.
But these things don’t come out of thin air, and you can’t enjoy them without doing anything.
All the enviable things that the Qingque tribe possesses were created by the hard work of the many people in the tribe.
It’s the same as before, when they obtained food through hunting and gathering.
It’s just that the people of the Green Bird tribe use more and better tools, and their working methods are also more diverse.
With these tools and these methods, they can eventually create all kinds of things.
For example, after coming here, most of the work we did was digging and hoeing the ground.
I heard that after this kind of work and some other work that follows, when the time comes, you will be able to get a lot of food.
The leader of the Grass Tribe found it hard to believe this. How could they obtain so much food that they could hardly finish eating in this way?
But her experiences during this period and what she did in the Qingque tribe told her that these should all be true.
Because during this period of time, she had experienced and witnessed too many unbelievable things in this tribe.
Moreover, in the long time since she came to this tribe, she rarely saw people from this tribe go out hunting on a large scale or gathering fruits.
If it is not possible to obtain sufficient food through such things, then where does this tribe get so much food from?
In addition to these, the leader of the Grass Tribe also knew why these people often looked south.
They are waiting for the return of the one they call the Son of God.
At the beginning, the leader of the Grass Tribe thought that the leader of the Green Bird Tribe was the one who stood on the stone wall and led his people to fight them off.
Later, she felt that the leader of the Green Bird Tribe was the one who chopped off Barkskin's head with the Black Stone weapon.
It turned out that her feeling was correct in this regard. The man who held the black stone weapon and chopped off the bark's head was indeed the leader of this huge tribe.
But in addition to the leader, she also saw a gray-haired old man.
The very strong and violent leader would become very honest and respectful in front of this old man.
Later, she found out that this old man with gray hair and who looked very old was the witch of the tribe and a wise being in the tribe.
That time, they attacked the Tongshan residential area. After the people of the Qingque main tribe got the news, it was this old primitive man who ordered everyone to set out overnight and go there to fight him and others.
This is an existence in the Qingque tribe whose position is higher than that of the leader. He is a person that does not exist in their tribe or in any other tribe they have come into contact with before.
After knowing this, the leader of the Grass Tribe thought that this was the limit of the Green Bird Tribe, but later she found out that there was a more intelligent existence in the Green Bird Tribe.
This being is called the Son of God by the people in this tribe, and is loved and supported by everyone in the tribe.
At the beginning, the leader of the Grass Tribe did not have much feeling towards this Son of God whom she had never seen before, because after she arrived, she had never seen this person, nor had she directly felt his wisdom or martial power.
But as she spent more and more time living in the Qingque tribe, she gradually understood how high a status this person held in this powerful and wealthy tribe.
对于他的智慧,更是不知道该用怎么样的语言来形容。
自从知道在不是太多年之前,这个部落还是一个小小的、跟她们没有什么区别的部落,能够有今天这个样子,全是从神子过来之后,才开始的之后,草部落的首领,对于那个一直未曾见过的神子,就不知道该怎么来形容自己的心情了。
恐惧、敬畏、崇拜……这些或许都有,她也说不清楚。
她随着众人一起往南面望去,同样期待着那个从来没有见过面的神子回来。
因为,她想要看看,一个拥有这样智慧的人,到底长什么样子,是不是极其高大威猛?又或者是如同这个部落的那个巫那样,看上去很老,长了满头的白发……
她这样看了一阵儿,那边还是和以往一样,并没有看到什么人从那里过来,心里不由的有些失望,便开始低头认真的用手里握着的锄头,开始除草。
“青、青雀旗!神、神子!是神子他们回来了!”
草部落的首领刚刚锄了没两下地,忽然听到了带着颤音、极度惊喜的声音响起。
草部落的首领愣了一下,赶紧停下手中的动作,直起身子,朝着南面望去。
远远的,在那边出现了一面绑在杆子上的、低垂的布。
离得太远,草部落的首领看不清楚那上面都有些什么东西,但是从众人的喊叫声里,她已经知道那是什么东西。
对于这种被青雀部落的人称之为青雀旗的东西,草部落的首领可谓是印象深刻。
当初,她们攻打铜山居住区的时候,铜山居住区上面就竖着那样一柄旗子。
后来,那个首领带着人冲来将她们尽数拦下的时候,也都树立着这样一面旗子。
在青雀主部落的广场之上,也有一面更大的这样的旗子。
如今,那一直没有什么动静南面,也出现了一面这样的旗子!
心里这样想着的草部落首领,下一刻就见到了又一个令她震惊的场景。
率先看到并喊出‘青雀旗子、神子回来’的围墙之上,那个头发花白、腰背也有些驼的老原始人、那个在她看来一直显得很是稳重与老迈的原始人,这时候居然一路小跑的从围墙上跑了下来,朝着南面而去,速度居然很是不慢。
房间之内,正在那里给蚕喂桑叶的白雪妹,听到了围墙之上响起的喊叫声,不由的愣了一下,旋即就是满脸的喜色。
她匆匆忙忙的将装着桑叶的筐子往架子上放,结果被筐子的底部碰了一下,没有一下放好,平日里特别珍惜桑叶的一个人,这会儿也不管桑叶珍贵不珍贵了,她没有再将筐子往架子上放,而是直接把筐子都给丢在了地上。
然后飞身出了房门,窜出去将近二十米之后,又停下往回跑,将站在那里的小杏儿抱上,继续朝着大门口处飞奔。
听到消息的小豌豆也随着人奔出了大门口,朝着南面飞跑,一边跑嘴里还一边喊着爸爸。
小短腿迈的飞快。
甚至于就连团团这只懒懒散散的大熊猫,此时都扭动着肥硕的屁股,跟在小豌豆的身后努力的跑着。
其余的人,也一个个大声欢呼起来,活都不干了,统统朝着南面跑去,那股兴奋与雀跃的劲头,草部落首领能够非常清晰的感受到。
记得之前那个叫做大师兄的首领,带着自己等人回来,取得了很大的胜利,这个部落的人,也没有如同现在这样的激动与欣喜。
这让草部落的首领,对于那个一直没有见过的神子,在这个部落众人心中的地位,又有了一些更深的认识。
她是第一次见到,一个人能够一下子得到这么多的人拥护和爱戴。
之前,黑石部落首领能够命令那么多的人,但她们这些被黑石部落首领命令的人,也没有对他产生过什么拥护的心思。
但是现在,比她们当初的人数更多的人,全都在为那个神子的归来而欢呼雀跃不已。
这到底是一个什么样的人啊!
远处,经过了一番行走之后,终于来到熟悉的土地上,望见矗立在那里的部落的韩成等人,一个个心情也极为的激**。
一趟行程下来,离家将近一百天,就算是韩成也非常的想念部落了。
只不过,看到主部落之后,他们还没有来得及欢呼,远远的就听到了从主部落那里传来的欢呼声。
然后就看到有人开始往这边跑动。
这样情景,让心情本就激**的韩成等人,心情变得更加激**。
一路行走下来,早已经累的不行的他们,这会儿也感觉不到累了,不用韩成吩咐什么,就都飞快的朝着部落的方向、迎着奔来的人群跑去。
一边跑,一片大声的欢呼着:“我们回来了!”
拿着旗子的那个人,更是将手里的旗子,挥舞的呼啦啦作响。
原本低垂的旗子,一下子就舞动起来,上面绣着的青雀图案,看上去如同在迎风飞舞一般。
片刻之后,奔跑着的两方人马开始相遇,激动与喜悦的情绪,在两者相遇之后,得到了一个爆发式的攀升。
“神子!”
“神子!”
迎接过来的众人,看着韩成纷纷激动的喊着,千言万语全都汇集成了这一声神子。
有超过一半的人,看着韩成激动的两眼都有些湿润。
“爸爸,爸爸!”
小豌豆如同一只长了翅膀的小麻雀一样,一路叽叽喳喳扑楞着翅膀跑来过了。
听到小家伙的喊声,韩成心头忍不住的颤了颤。
“爸爸在这!”
他出声应到,然后蹲下身子,张开臂膀,将飞跑过来的小家伙抱怀里,直起身子。
“想爸爸了没有?”
韩成伸手在小家伙的脑袋上摸了摸,笑着问道。
“嗯,想了!”
小豌豆用力点头。
“我都梦见你了好几次,我喊你,你不理我,我都哭了。”
小豌豆说完之后,又补充道,显得有些委屈。
“那都是假的,爸爸怎么会不理你。”
韩成笑着在自家儿子的脑袋上揉揉,笑着说道。
然后转头看看,并没有看到巫,心里不由的一紧。
“巫呢?”
他向众人询问。
“巫在后面。”
有人出声说道,然后不好意思的挠挠脑袋,转身往回走跑去。
刚才他们太过于激动了,以至于都忘记等着巫一起往这边跑动。
韩成听到人说巫在后面,心里就长松了一口气。
长时间的离开部落,他最为不放心的其实就是巫,担心离开之后,再回来就是永别。
这时候听到人们说巫只是在后面没有赶过来,心中自然欣喜。
“走,我们回去!一起去迎接巫。”
韩成大声说道。
于是那些刚刚跑过来的人,便纷纷转身,自觉的来到韩成身后,随着他们的神子,往回走去。
那些随后赶过来的人,在对着韩成喊了神子之后,也都自觉的跟随到了队伍的后面,随着韩成一起往回走。
激动之中,却也觉得一颗心都安定了下来。
这是一种非常奇妙的感觉,是高高大大的围墙,以及锋利的兵刃,都给不了的。
往前又走了一小会儿之后,韩成看到了抱着小杏儿,一路跑的气喘吁吁的白雪妹,当下也不由的加快了步伐。
“成哥哥!”
白雪妹高兴的喊着,跑的更快了,韩成笑着迎上去,将她们母女两个都给揽到怀中。
伸手在这个已经长大了的童养媳背后拍了拍,擦拭了一把她头上的汗,笑着对她道:“成哥哥回来了。”
而后转首望向小杏儿。
将近一百天过去,和韩成离开的时候相比,小杏儿看上去长大了不少,不过看向韩成的时候,显得有些怯怯的,显然是这么长时间不见,已经有些认生了。
“妹妹,叫爸爸,这是爸爸。”
一旁的小豌豆小大人一般的教导着。
“爸爸~”
得到了哥哥的提示之后,小杏儿犹豫了一下,有些怯怯的、又显得含糊不清的喊了一声。
来自宝贝女儿的这一声爸爸,可是把韩成给高兴坏了。
“哎!”
他高高兴兴的答应一声,将手在身上擦拭了一下,伸手将小闺女从白雪妹的怀里接过来,双手抱着,高高的举起。
这个熟悉的动作令的小杏儿一下子就认出来了这人看起来黑黑瘦瘦胡子拉碴的人是谁,刚刚接触到时的那些生分,一下子就尽数消失,看着看着韩成,笑的咯咯的,甚至于一个没有控制好,还有一溜口水流了下来。
将刚刚见面就用口水给自己洗脸的宝贝女儿放下,抱到怀里,韩成擦拭了一下脸上的口水之后,将小豌豆也抱到怀里,身边跟着白雪妹这个小媳妇,继续朝着部落的方向走去。
“巫!”
往前走了一会儿之后,韩成看到了在圆的陪同之下朝着这边努力赶来的巫,笑着出声喊到,并将两个小家伙放下来,朝着巫迎接了过去。
“神子!”
巫也激动的喊着,声音都有些变了,并再一次的加快了步伐。
Compared to when Han Cheng left, Wu looked a little older and haggard. This was because he had been worrying too much during this period of time and had been worried about Han Cheng and his group.
"Wu, we are back."
Han Cheng walked forward, held Wu's arm and said with a smile.
Wu's expression also seemed excited, but more than that, he was completely relieved.
He took Han Cheng's hand and looked him up and down. Seeing that Han Cheng was not hurt anywhere, he became even happier.
"Son of God!"
He let go of Han Cheng's hand, bowed respectfully to Han Cheng, and shouted.
"Son of God!"
The others also shouted in unison with Wu.
This is their Son of God, and he deserves the respect he deserves.
