"This method is very simple. Can't we just let them come here to use it? The Han tribe won't send them, but we can let them come here to use it." Luo Chong said to Xiaodie.
"Okay, but it takes a whole day for Am to get here, come to the Han tribe to use the loom for a day, and then go back and walk for another whole day. Isn't that too far?" Xiaodie was still simply calculating the time and distance.
"Then you can invite Am to stay. Our place is so big that it's no problem to have more people living here."
Luo Chong continued to induce Little Red Riding Hood like a wolf grandmother, but it was a pity that Little Red Riding Hood was too simple, so simple that it made people speechless.
"But, but my Am is the leader of the tribe, she can't leave the tribe often." Xiaodie continued to think about the reason why Am couldn't come here.
"Forget it, forget it, you should weave first, and I'll take you back to see Am."
Luo Chong slapped his forehead, deeply defeated by his wife's innocence.
"Oh,"
Xiaodie agreed with a bit of disappointment, and then continued to weave. However, thinking that these fabrics could be given to Am in the future, the young girl was full of energy again, and her hands and feet worked together, and the running-in degree with the machine became higher and higher.
The sun gradually set in the west, and it was another sunset. Today there was no sunset glow, but there was a strong wind, with a hint of dampness, which made people feel a little cold and a little inexplicably flustered.
The elder and the rat witch, two old men who were as steady as Mount Tai, found Luo Chong almost at the same time.
"Chief."
"Chief."
"Huh? What's the matter?" Luo Chong recognized who it was just by listening to the voice. He did not turn around, but looked up at the gloomy sky.
"It was very windy this evening, and there was no moon in the east, so it might rain tonight." The elder reminded.
"There is also the sky fire. The moon is frightened by the sky fire, so it dares not come out. The sky fire is not afraid of rain and can illuminate the entire sky. The sound of the sky fire is very loud and can scare away birds and beasts. It is as loud as the sound of the chief opening the mountain that time."
The rat witch added, and at the end he secretly glanced at Luo Chong, as if he remembered the doubts about Luo Chong's opening the mountain that time. This god-like man in front of him can control the sky fire, right? It should be.
"Pregnant women and nursing children live in caves today, and others still live in thatched houses. Distribute the animal skins that can be used in the tribe, first to children and women.
Chicken coops, rabbit pens, cow sheds, and those deer and alpacas should all be closed and tied up, so as not to scare them away.
All metal tools should be gathered together, and there should be no wood and firewood around, and people should stay away from them, because those coppers will attract thunder from the sky."
"Thunder from the sky? What is thunder from the sky?"
Luo Chong was arranging the precautions for tonight, but was suddenly interrupted by the rat witch.
"That's right. The fire from the sky you mentioned is not called fire from the sky. In Chinese, it's called thunder, thunder from the sky. Oh, by the way, don't interrupt me. I haven't finished yet.
Don't cook outside tonight. The wind is too strong and the fire will be blown away easily. If the thatched house is burned down, it will be over.
Take it to the cave and cook it. Leave a few people to cook it, and then distribute it to each tribe member. Don't light a fire outside tonight, do it now." Luo Chong first explained the sky fire, and then immediately gave another order, yes, it was an order in the tone of command.
"Yes, we will go now. "The two old men hurriedly agreed, then walked away swinging their old arms and legs.
Xiaodie, who was standing by, heard Luo Chong say that copper would attract thunder, and without saying a word, she took off the copper hairpin and copper crown on Luo Chong's head.
Luo Chong was stunned, and then saw the things in Xiaodie's hand, and immediately said "fuck" in his heart.
Damn, I was careless, I forgot about it, I'm used to wearing this thing every day, plus I couldn't see it, so I really didn't think of it for a while. If the thunder had struck lower, Luo Chong would have happened to be standing on an open area between the mountains, and
thinking of this, Luo Chong couldn't help but worry about the big tree far away in Babaoshan. He was still okay here, but what about the big tree? They were a group of people on a copper mountain. I hope they know to stay away. I hope they are okay. It's too late to contact them now.
No , send someone to check it out tomorrow, otherwise I'm still worried.
Luo Chong stood there thinking about random things and continued to look up at the sky. Xiaodie stood beside Luo Chong, also looking up in the direction Luo Chong was looking. Luo Chong's copper crown had been hidden by her in a secret corner of the thatched house.
The tribesmen who were originally washing pots and fetching water to prepare for dinner also received notifications from the elders and the rat witch, and they all got busy.
Some went to the animal pens and drove all the animals into the shed, tying them up tightly with hemp ropes; others drove all the black-feathered chickens into the chicken coop, blocked them with wooden boards, and put a large blue brick outside to lock them up tightly.
There were also tribesmen who collected copper weapons and tools and put them all on the open space of the wall; there were also women who distributed animal skins to the tribesmen to keep warm.
Those pregnant women in the cave who were in their early months were baking food, trying to get out of bed before it rained. Before it could be distributed to the tribesmen.
It soon became dark. It was not that the sun sank into the valley, but that dark clouds blocked the sky. The wind was getting stronger, about level 7 or 8. I hope the thatched hut will not be blown away. At this time, Luo Chong could only pray like this.
It is obviously not summer yet. Even the spring thunder and rain should not be so heavy, but looking at this beginning, it seems that it will not be too small.
The clouds in the sky are brewing the first thunder of the year. The rumbling thunder roars low in the distant sky, like the roar of a beast from the throat.
The first batch of food was ready. Several men carried large winnowing baskets made of thin rattan and distributed food to each thatched hut one by one. They turned back to prepare for the second round, but it was too late after all.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the sparse raindrops hit the ground, splashing clouds of dust. Smoke, but before the smoke dissipated, it was hit back to the ground by increasingly dense raindrops.
Rumble, crackle,
wow, wow, wow, wow,
the rolling thunder resounded through the sky, followed by a bright lightning that cut the entire sky. In the settlement consisting of hundreds of thatched huts, some young children were frightened and cried, and even some adults covered their heads with animal skins, hiding in the corners of the huts and shivering. They were afraid of the power of nature.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Although it was not pouring, it was not small at all. The bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, splashing pieces of water, without stopping, as if the earth was boiling.
Luo Chong sat at the door of the hut, watching the heavy rain outside, while Xiaodie huddled in Luo Chong's arms, hugging him tightly. Neither of them got any food. Luo Chong just asked the tribesmen to give it to the children first.
