Chapter 139 Earth Priest
"He, stop playing, come and eat."

"Ow."

With a sound, He dropped the "paintbrush" in his hand, took two steps back, and admired his "masterpiece".

Other children didn't like to play with this clumsy, dull girl, so she entertained herself by painting and drawing on the cave walls, using charcoal as a paintbrush at first, but after a long time, she was not satisfied with the monotonous black and white. , collecting materials of different colors everywhere, and the murals painted are becoming more and more colorful.

She looked at this "autumn harvest picture" and grinned happily.

"I called you over for dinner, can't you hear me?"

Aoi raised her voice.

"Ow!"

Hearing his mother's bad tone, He hurried over.

"Drawing and drawing all day long, it's useless to clean up these things. If you can divide half of your scribbling thoughts into planting and sacrifice, won't it take you so long to learn?"

Kui Sheng gave her a bowl of hot porridge, and kept counting.

The people of the tribe thought that it was okay for this girl to be a little stupid. As a descendant of the priest of the earth, she was still not doing her job properly, which was really worrying.

After all the blame, Aoi didn't really blame her only daughter.

Now that the land is desolate, they have stopped all unnecessary activities and stay in the cave every day, drinking porridge, sleeping, and waiting for the return of the hunter.

When bored, the men would polish weapons and tools, the women would sew clothes and weave baskets, and the children would make some toys, fight with each other, and spit.

He, who is not very gregarious, chose to paint to pass the time, which is understandable, and one thing to say, Kui was very happy to see her daughter draw so beautifully.

But she hoped that her daughter, who was about to grow up, could devote her mind to serious business. At He's age, she was already a qualified quasi-priest, but He was always ignorant, and couldn't even figure out how to make pottery.

"How long have they been gone? Why haven't they come back?"

The clansmen began to discuss when the hunter would return. Since Miao led the team to leave, this has been a topic they must talk about every day.

There are not many people left in the tribe who have participated in winter hunting and are still alive. Kui is one of them. She has explained it for countless times: "The river valley camp is far away, and it takes several days to walk there. When I come back, I will carry heavy loads. It will take longer on the road, don't worry, it's normal."

They had never been that far before and had no idea of ​​it.

"My lord priest, have you ever seen a mammoth?"

"of course."

"I heard mammoths are as big as mountains?"

"no doubt."

"How do you hunt such a huge beast?"

"They are afraid of fire, and hunters use fire to deal with them. Hunting mammoths is very dangerous. It can crush people with one foot, and some people die every tribal meeting."

"Ah! Nagu and the others..."

The voice stopped abruptly, it was not good to say such unlucky words.

Although the words were not clearly stated, everyone was worried.

At this time, there was a loud cry from outside the cave.

This is the number they often use for long-distance reporting!

People jumped up and rushed out of the cave in a swarm.The night covered the land, and it was as dark as ink, without the obstruction of trees, the field of vision was wide, and the flames dancing in the distance were exceptionally clear.

"Back! The hunter is back!"

Everyone rushed to the fire with excitement.

Meat!So much meat!
On the day the hunters left, they set up the smoking rack, which had been idle for so long, and finally came in handy.

"Is there mammoth meat in this?"

"Most of this is mammoth meat!"

Gu straightened his waist and was extremely proud. Now he is also a gold hunter who has hunted legendary monsters.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked carefully at the animal meat in their hands, only to find that there seemed to be no difference between the mammoth meat and the meat of other wild animals.

"Are mammoths really as big as mountains?"

"It's bigger than the mountain!" Gu said without thinking, with a determined expression on his face.

The rest of the hunters also insisted: "When a mammoth stomps its feet, the ground trembles three times! Only the most heroic hunters can hunt them! There are two hunters killed by the tiger tribe, but we are unscathed!"

Everyone immediately praised them, calling them the most heroic hunters, and Gu Le couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

The women spread out the animal skins, amazed again and again.

There is no difference in the animal meat, but the difference in the animal skin is obvious. This is the largest animal skin they have ever seen!The thick body hair on the animal hide is almost as long as their arms. What kind of terrifying giant beast can grow such long body hair?

"It's just a small piece of mammoth skin that we cut off, enough for all of us to wear new clothes!" Gu said.

In addition to mammoth skin, there are also deerskin, cowhide, rhinoceros leather...all are very high-quality leather, thick and large, usually hunting in the mountains and forests, it is not easy to obtain, the amount brought back this time is more than what they earn in a year And more!

"Fatty! I want to eat meat!"

The children clamored to eat meat. They stared at the large pieces of red meat in the hands of the adults, their eyes stared straight, and their saliva flowed down three thousand feet.

Drinking porridge every day, who doesn't want to eat meat?

The women boiled water and cooked rice, and soon the long-lost smell of meat wafted from the cave.

While the young hunters were bragging, Miao approached Aoi and told her that she had something extremely important to discuss with her alone.

The two entered the cave within the priest's exclusive cave, and it became much quieter immediately. Aoi lit a fire to keep warm, and the bright yellow flame illuminated the narrow cave.

She couldn't understand Miao's first sentence: "Do you know Nuwa?"

"Who?"

"Our ancestor, Nuwa, was the one who found the five-color stone."

"Five-color stone?"

Aoi frowned slightly, wondering why Miao started talking nonsense?Is it because you are getting older and your brain is starting to get confused?Speaking of which, he traveled too far this time.

Thinking of this, she asked, "Where have you been these days? Aren't you unable to go to the tribal assembly?"

"I didn't go, I was looking for news in the Dahe tribe! Otherwise, how would I know the secret of the five-color stone?"

Miao Li is confident, of course he can't say that he is addicted to fishing.

He broke the topic back: "Five-color stones are spirit stones of five colors: red, blue, yellow, black, and white. Long, long ago, our ancestor Nuwa once collected all five colors of spirit stones to complete the five-color spirit stone. A hole in the sky. Don't we have a blue stone? The River Tribe has a white stone!"

What a mess... Kui was at a loss, but she understood the last sentence, and asked quickly, "What does it mean that the Dahe Tribe has a white stone? Can they also use the power of the earth to make the grain grow vigorously?"

"No, their white stone has completely different functions...you really don't know who Nuwa is?"

Aoi shook her head like a rattle: "It's the first time I've heard this name."

"This is weird..."

Miao Man thought that Kui, who was the priest of the earth and inherited the bluestone, must know the legendary experience of his ancestors.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. Since you don't know, let me start with the story of Nuwa mending the sky."
