After the ceremony began, two carriages set off from the Ba and Uu tribes respectively. On the carriages sat twin little witches. They were wearing brand-new dresses and cloaks, holding scepters in their hands, happy and excited.
The two of them had a high status and were the only people who got on the horse-drawn carriage after the road was built.
The two great witches were escorted by the strongest hunter teams from the two tribes.
The Wu tribe is led by a dragon, holding a giant bronze spear, wearing a double layer of leather armor, and a long knife hanging from the waist. He leads five riders to clear the way, one holding the flag and the other holding the trumpet.
Twenty strong armored hunters followed on both sides of the carriage. One group held spears and carried vine shields, and the other group held long bows and carried quivers. Their heads were wrapped in black cloth, and everyone had daggers hanging from their waists. They looked mighty.
The strict momentum is compelling.
After that, there were dozens of hunters who were also wearing leather armor and holding spears and bows. They were also walking in order. This team surrounded the carriage from front to back.
After the army, there was a huge tribal army composed of men, women, old and children of the Uzbek people.
On the Ba tribe's side, Feng led the team, wearing double leather armor, hanging an officer's bronze medal and a big sword on his waist, and carrying a long bow, leading the four riders to clear the way.
Xu Chen was wearing leather armor and a red cloak, with a dragon-tooth scimitar hanging from his waist. He was riding a horse with three flag officers and trumpeters including Gu Ju following closely behind him holding a large flag and horn.
On both sides of the little witch's carriage, there are also twenty strong leather-armored hunters, a set of spears and vine shields, a set of long bows and quivers, with red cloth on their heads and daggers hanging from their waists, and leather boots on their feet, walking in a mighty and orderly manner.
.
After that, there was a group of heavily armed hunters and a tourist group of old women and children of the Ba ethnic group. Among them were a carriage and several human-powered carts, on which were a group of pregnant women, mothers, children, old and weak, and a group of pregnant women.
Several monkeys were also squatting on it, scratching their heads and ears excitedly.
Today, the two tribes came out in full force, leaving almost no one behind, not even the infants. A group of children even brought five wolf cubs that were almost two months old, and followed the crowd all the way.
Bian'er ran and screamed, looking like he was having a hard time.
In the clear blue sky, two large eagles spread their wings and hovered thousands of meters in the air, seemingly observing the movements and whereabouts of the Ba people below.
The flags are flying, the horn is sounding.
The huge teams of the two tribes walked opposite each other, moving forward in the gently sloping forest in the cool autumn air.
Following the newly excavated soil and slightly compacted new soil, the road winds into the distance among the woods.
Through the sparse trees with all their leaves fallen, you can see the wide river beach and the sparkling Wulong River.
This is an unprecedented feeling.
Excitement, joy, surprise, novelty, and unparalleled pride.
Although many people did not participate in the construction of this road, they also made great contributions through their collective efforts.
The crowd cheered all the way and the sound echoed throughout the river beach.
Two hours later, Xu Chen and others arrived at the stone monument first and stopped to wait.
Nearly an hour later, the huge Uzbek team officially arrived.
When the two tribes met, they cheered louder and louder, especially the men's cries and howls, which filled the sky.
Everyone got off their horses and Xu Chen led two shamans and men, women and children from the two tribes to gather at the location of the stone tablet and introduced them to the text content and functions recorded on the stone tablet.
Everyone felt very novel and excited, but to the twin little witches, this stone tablet seemed familiar. After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly became clear that this was just another kind of diary.
Xu Chen has the habit of keeping a diary, which has actually influenced Ye and the twin little witches to start writing diaries as well.
However, their diaries are slightly different from Xu Chen's.
What Xu Chen records are very simple major events, and more importantly, he records some of his whims, creative inventions, work arrangements, various writing creations, etc.
The little witch will record more of the development of the tribe and the inheritance of witchcraft.
In fact, for the little witch sister, her diary is more focused on recording Xu Chen's every move, a sentence, a new word, a new thing, a new invention, a new work arrangement, etc.
Just like the construction of this road, what Xu Chen recorded was relatively simple and messy. From the beginning of planning, to surveying the route several times, to finally determining the route and drawing a simple construction drawing, and finally starting construction until completion, each step was just a few simple sentences.
talk.
For example, on a certain day of a certain month, it is planned to start building a road, on a certain day of a certain month, the first on-site survey will be carried out, on a certain day of a certain month, the second survey and route modifications will be made, and on a certain day of a certain month, the road construction will start.
As for the design and survey process, except for the engineering route map drawn at the beginning, there is almost no mention of it. Even some construction processes after the start of construction are not mentioned in detail. Occasionally, I mentioned that I had a sprained foot while walking today, or I couldn't dig when I encountered rocks.
Annoying group and other strange words.
Although Xu Chen's diary is not a secret, only Ye and the little witch can understand it. Ever since Ye officially announced her adulthood after getting a feather, she has begun to shoulder all the labor that an adult woman should do, and she is busy working every day.
Running around can no longer pester or accompany Xu Chen all day like before, and I have much less time to read my diary.
Therefore, Xu Chen's diary has almost become the exclusive privilege of the little witch, because she is the only one in the entire tribe who does not have to do any work and only needs to sit and meditate to communicate with the gods.
The little witch thinks that the best way to communicate with the gods is to read Xu Chen's diary.
Because Xu Chen is a human being blessed by the gods, an existence beyond the great witch, and the king of witches. His words and deeds all contain the will of the gods.
As long as she follows Xu Chen and reads Xu Chen's diary, she will naturally understand the will of the gods and be inspired to gain the ability to communicate with the gods.
Therefore, observing and recording Xu Chen's every move has almost become the little witch's daily life.
For example, on this road, Xu Chen recorded no more than ten pieces of information in total, but the little witch filled it with dozens of cut animal skins.
From the first time Xu Chen arranged for Feng and others to inquire about the road construction situation, until the road was completely repaired, she recorded clearly everything that happened every day, mainly Xu Chen's words and actions.
Although the words are very concise and simple, as long as you read it, you can understand roughly what Xu Chen did and said that day. It is a complete history of daily life.
For example, the process, methods, and results of Xu Chen's use of water and fire to conquer a rocky slope to complete the construction of a plank road are written in even greater detail, and her incomparable excitement is revealed between the words.
Because this is an extremely magical method, and it is definitely an epoch-making magical idea.
As a witch, she has the responsibility to spread and guide the development of the tribe, accumulate more production and life knowledge, and pass on this knowledge.
Although Xu Chen did not mention a word about this matter in his diary, the little witch knew that this method would have a huge impact on the development of all tribes.
In the past, tribes who could not find caves to live in could actually use this method to dig simple caves to live in.
It's a pity that there were none before, so all the tribes could only look for suitable caves everywhere. However, these places with caves are either remote and difficult to travel, or extremely dangerous. If you want to find a safe and suitable place to settle down, you have to pay a lot of effort.
Just the price.
Although tribes now have better methods of building houses, this simple and magical technology will still have a powerful role in the future, especially for road construction.
The tribes are separated by tens or even hundreds of miles. If all tribes build such wide roads to allow carriages and horses, the communication time between tribes will be greatly shortened.
She understands this very well.
The first time she defected from the Ba tribe, she felt that the more than thirty miles away was like a natural chasm and she could not finish it no matter how hard she ran. Then she was overtaken by the Uzbek tribe and almost all the people who protected her died.
Later, after horses were introduced, this road became very easy and fast.
However, horses can only seat one person, and the small number also restricts the movement of a large number of people who cannot ride horses.
But now with this wide road and carriage, even women, children, the elderly and the weak can travel back and forth quickly in a carriage, and it is also easy and convenient.
But Xu Chen hardly paid much attention to all the creative inventions. After making them, some would mention it in the diary, and some would not write anything at all. Even if he wrote an occasional sentence, it was because he was too tired today and didn't want to write, or he was too lazy to write.
It’s raining heavily again, I’m so annoyed, and other similar complaints.
In fact, in Xu Chen's opinion, diaries are naturally used to record moods.
But in the little witch's view, a diary should be used to record daily life activities.
Therefore, every time when she saw Xu Chen's complaints, the little witch would always cover her mouth and giggle, and then record Xu Chen's actions one day stroke by stroke.
His Majesty the Witch King is too lazy, so I will help him write his diary.
However, in these diaries that others don't know, every entry and every page is full of Xu Chen's shadow, like a brand, becoming increasingly clear in her soul.
The stone tablet in front of me adheres to Xu Chen's consistent diary style.
Simple and crude.
The only thing that made the little witch happy was that His Majesty the Witch King didn't say bad words on it.
"Everyone, this stone tablet is to record the time and process of our road construction. It will stand here for generations to come to bear witness to the family ties and friendship between our two races that are thicker than water, and also to allow our descendants to understand the construction of this road.
We will overcome the difficulties and sacrifices along the way, and in this way we can live in peace and be neighbors forever."
"Both ethnic groups have made great efforts to build this road, especially the Uzbek ethnic group. On behalf of myself, I would like to thank all those who participated in the construction. For the common prosperity and development of the two ethnic groups in the future, I decided to use this stone monument as a boundary monument.
From now on, the territory of the two tribes will be bounded by this stone monument, with the east belonging to the Wu tribe and the west belonging to the Ba tribe!"
"Wow!"
Xu Chen said these words to the men, women, and children of the Ba and Wu ethnic groups, which immediately caused a violent commotion, followed by cheers that resounded throughout the mountains and forests.
