One morning a few days later, the sound of Lang Lang reading was heard from the Chen family.
The sound is noisy, but loud.
Looking closer, it was a school located next to the family home and had only been built two days ago.
Even the paint on the pillars in front of the school had not yet dried.
In the school, the young men of the family gathered together, each holding a book made of silk in his hand.
In front, Chen Tianquan was holding a ruler, looking at the young family members who were studying seriously below with a look of satisfaction on his face.
He had worked diligently these past few days and had finally learned a lot of new characters. Otherwise, he would have been embarrassed in front of these younger generations in the family.
At this time, a young man suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Uncle Tianquan, what does this sentence mean?"
"Which one?"
Chen Tianquan looked solemn and dignified as he slowly approached.
The boy pointed to a sentence in the book and read:
"It is this sentence: If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening."
Hearing someone asking this question, the other teenagers who were still reading aloud stopped and listened carefully. They could not understand the meaning of these profound words and naturally wanted to know what they meant.
Seeing all the young men in the school looking at him eagerly, Chen Tianquan felt a little numb on his scalp.
He had just learned a few more words, so how could he know what this sentence meant.
But as the elder of the family, if he said he didn't know, wouldn't it be a loss of face for him? How could he hold his head up in front of these younger generations in the future?
No, he couldn't allow this to happen.
Chen Tianquan looked calm, but his body was slightly tilted as he looked carefully at the sentence written in the book, as if thinking about it.
Seeing this, the young men present did not dare to disturb them and could only wait.
Soon, Chen Tianquan's eyes lit up, and he clapped the ruler in his hand and said confidently:
"If you know the way to your home in the morning, you can die in the evening." This sentence means that if you know the way to your home in the morning, you can die in the evening!
The young men who heard this explanation suddenly understood:
"Uncle Tianquan is indeed well-read. I have seen the explanation of two of the characters in this book before. Chao means morning, and Xi means evening."
"Uncle Tianquan is so awesome!"
"Hurry, write it down! Otherwise you'll forget it later!"
Listening to the praises from the younger generation of the family, Chen Tianquan raised his head slightly and a smile appeared on his face.
Fortunately, he has read a lot of books in the past two days, otherwise he would have been really stumped!
Seeing the excitement on the faces of many young people, Chen Tianquan continued:
“This sentence tells us that when we return to our homeland in the future, we must look carefully to see if there is anyone following us, and never let others know the way back to our homeland.”
"Also, we were told that if we were to follow someone, we should go in the morning so that we could lead our tribe to seek revenge in the evening."
After hearing this, all the young men present nodded repeatedly. This made so much sense!
No wonder the patriarch asked them to read more, it turns out these few words can express so many meanings!
Seeing that his fellow tribesmen were in high spirits and eager to learn, Chen Tianquan was also pleased.
At this time, another young man spoke up:
"Uncle Tianquan, what about this sentence? When a man is about to die, his words are good!"
Chen Tianquan pondered again, and soon there was enlightenment in his eyes, and he immediately explained:
"What this means is that only when you beat someone to death will he speak properly."
"This sentence tells us that only when we become stronger can we ask what we want to ask. After all, if we are too weak, we can't beat others. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Many young men once again looked at him with admiration, because these words made so much sense that they instantly enlightened them.
Seeing many tribesmen looking at him with admiration, Chen Tianquan felt quite guilty.
He didn't know whether his explanation of these two sentences was correct, but it sounded reasonable to him, so he thought it was not wrong.
In order to prevent the tribesmen from asking further questions, Chen Tianquan immediately raised his hand and said:
"Okay, just remember these two sentences today. If you have any questions, ask me tomorrow."
After dispelling the doubts of the other teenagers, Chen Tianquan finally felt relieved. He decided to read carefully in the next few nights to avoid embarrassment later.
In the school, Chen Qinghe looked at the two sentences he had just recorded, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Why does he feel that these two sentences are somewhat different from his understanding?
But it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.
In the ancestral hall, Ji Yang, who sensed this scene, fell into deep thought, and even the locust leaves on the tree trunk stopped moving.
Could it be that he had learned it wrong before? Or was this how he understood these sentences?
However, considering the current situation of the family and the rules of this world, there seems to be nothing wrong with using these sentences in this way, and the explanation makes sense.
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already mid-November. The Chen family, which has been silent for a month, is moving again. Many members of the family rushed to the fertile fields and began to plant winter blood rice.
According to the time of last year, snow was already falling on the mass grave hill at this time.
However, this year is different from the past. The temperature in the mass grave mountain has not reached its low point, and the underground blood spring has not fallen silent due to the cold, but is still very active. This also means that the fertile fields can still be planted normally, thus achieving the production of four crops of blood rice a year.
All this is naturally because of the family’s sacred tree.
Next to the fertile fields, many tribesmen were busy. Although the care of the blood rice was the responsibility of the servants, considering that the servants were limited and many tribesmen had nothing else to do, Chen Xingzhen simply organized the tribesmen to quickly finish planting the blood rice so that they could harvest it earlier.
Not far from the fertile fields, two figures were lurking in the dark.
These two people were none other than Shi Potian and Shi Podi, who had left the family last time to hunt down the two Meishan brothers.
In fact, the two of them had already returned to their ethnic group last month.
The news the two brought back when they returned to their clan last time also shocked many elders of the family.
Because the family wanted to hunt down the two Meishan brothers, their bodies had been buried in the mountains at some point.
If it weren't for the secret guidance of the family's totem power, it would probably be difficult for the two of them to find their whereabouts.
When the family received the news, they could not tell for a moment whether the deaths of the two people were caused by the Chen family or due to other reasons.
The clan could not reach a consensus, and the subsequent plan naturally could not be implemented normally. The family felt that the Chen family might have some secrets that had not been discovered.
This was also the reason why the two arrived at the mass grave for the second time.
Their task now is to secretly observe the Chen family for a period of time and find out the cause of death of the two Meishan brothers.
However, the two of them have been here for more than half a month, but there has not been any major discoveries so far.
