Chapter 1314 Turning over the Qinling Mountains in the Aged Years (2 in 1)
The rather large team set off from the main Qingque tribe and followed the flat road that the Qingque tribe had built long ago, all the way to the Yanshan residential area.
The team stayed here in the Yanshan residential area for a while.
Wu got off the bullock cart and wandered around the Yanshan residential area for a long time.
Before leaving, I picked up a small piece of salt-producing stone from the Yanshan residential area and put it into a bag.
After doing this, the team began to move forward, heading south along the wide road again.
The sky in late autumn looks particularly high and blue.
The old ox pulled the ox cart and moved forward slowly on the road. The ox cart wheels made a squeaking sound.
This time Wu rode an ox cart, which was modified by the people of the Qingque tribe on the basis of the original cart.
The ox-cart is not as fast as the horse-drawn carriage, but it is smoother than the horse-drawn carriage and makes the ride look leisurely.
For an old man like Wu, riding in an ox cart is much more comfortable than riding in a horse-drawn carriage when traveling far away.
So even if the witch wanted to reach the tribe in the south quickly, Han Cheng still chose an ox-cart for him instead of letting him ride a horse-drawn carriage.
The shaman who left the main tribe and walked southward seemed to be in good spirits, and his whole mood seemed high.
Sitting in the carriage, looking here and there, the whole person seemed very happy.
Sometimes when I get tired of riding in the bullock cart, I will get off the bullock cart and walk along with the cart for a while.
Sometimes I pick a small fruit or some small yellow flowers from the roadside to amuse my little girl.
Or you can put the picked flowers in your daughter's hair and dress her up beautifully, making the little girl giggle with joy.
Whenever this happens, the witch will open his mouth without many teeth and follow the silly music, and the whole person is extremely happy.
The team marched all the way, and after more than ten days, they arrived at the Qinling sub-tribe located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains.
People in the Qinling residential area did not expect that people from the main tribe would come at this time, and that they would come on such a large scale.
Moreover, the shaman who rarely visits the main tribe all year round came with the Son of God.
This kind of thing makes people living in the Qinling residential area feel particularly surprised and extremely happy.
No matter when they can see the Son of God and other people, they will be very happy.
This is a kind of intimacy that comes from the core.
Of course, the one who is most delighted is Junior Brother Sha, an old man in the tribe.
He once again carried his own bow and quiver, and wandered around the Qinling branch tribes with the shaman and the Son of God.
Watch the scenery and things in the tribe together.
At the same time, he also introduced the situation here to Shenzi and Wu from time to time.
For example, when was this house built and when was that piece of land renovated?
This piece of land is the most fertile, and the amount of millet grown on it is almost double that of other places...
Listening to Junior Brother Sha's narration, the wizard kept looking around, like a curious child, and he looked very happy.
Being able to grow bigger, stronger, and richer in the tribe is what he likes and sees most.
Of course, when Junior Brother Sha accompanied Han Cheng and Wu and the others while doing these things, their eyes were not idle, and they would pay attention to the movements around them or in the sky from time to time.
Sometimes, he would suddenly whisper to Wu and others to stop, and then he would quickly pull out an arrow, put it on his bow, and aim at a certain place around him.
Some screams or some thumping sounds.
When someone runs over and comes back, they will come back with a prey in their hands.
Those prey include the birds that live here, as well as some large pheasants, hares, and even deer...
There are many varieties, and these prey are all killed with one blow.
Wu was as happy as a child at this time.
Sometimes, when Junior Brother Sha shoots an arrow and there is movement over there, Wu will ask him to wait and stand here without moving while he goes over to look for the prey and picks it up.
When Wu picked up his prey and returned, he would lift it up high and show it to Han Cheng and others. It looked like he was showing off, with a bright smile on his face.
Seeing such a scene, Han Cheng and others also became happy, and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful...
"Son of God, why did the witch come here at this time, and why did he go to the tribe in the south at this time?
It’s difficult to walk in the mountains and the roads are extremely bumpy. As an old man, will his body be unbearable after taking such a trip?”
At night, Junior Brother Sha, an old man in the tribe and the head of the Qinling branch, came to the place where Han Cheng lived and quietly asked Han Cheng.
He felt that this matter was somewhat unusual.
Facing Junior Brother Sha's inquiry, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
Just this sigh made Junior Brother Sha seem nervous, and some bad premonitions in his heart became clearer.
"Son of God, what happened? Wu...he..."
"Wu Wu is feeling a little unwell. He doesn't eat much food. He always has a stomachache when nothing happens. He looks a lot thinner now..."
"Wu said that he is getting older and has always wanted to visit the tribes in the south and see how our tribe has developed over the years.
He said that his health was not working very well now. If he didn't set out to do this at this time, he was afraid that he would never be able to do it again.
I won’t be able to see our tribes to the south until I die.
It's such a pity for him.
He didn't want us to take his ashes to do this later.
Wudu said this, so I had no choice but to bring him with me..."
Han Cheng said this to Junior Brother Sha, and then added: "It seems that this decision is right. The spirit of the whole witch is better than in the tribe.
This kind of happiness and anticipation of going south are real, not pretended, and are something that the shaman could not experience when he was in the main tribe.
It is better to take him to do something like this when he is old than to let him lie in a hospital bed and think about it every day, only to regret that he cannot do it."
When Junior Brother Sha heard what Han Cheng said, he nodded: "Son of God, you are right. Since this is what the witch wants to do, and it is also good for the witch, it can allow the witch to experience this process.
If you are happy, let him do it.
It’s true that Wu never saw the tribes in the south until his death, which really makes people feel uncomfortable..."
Having said this, Junior Brother Sha paused again and said: "Son of God, I also want to follow you south. Over the years, I have been stationed here in the Qinling Branch Tribe, and I haven't had a good gathering with the witches for several years.
Now that Wu is old, his body is not as strong as before. I want to follow you on the road and accompany him well. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will never have another chance in the future.
Today's witches can talk, laugh, and communicate with us.
When the time came, Wu Zhen passed away and was buried in the earth. What we faced was just a dirt bag.
Although there is a witch buried inside, it is no longer the witch himself. No matter what you say to the bumpkin at that time, the bumpkin will still be the same and will not respond to you...
Over the years, I have been stationed here, and I have only heard from people in the tribe how far the southern tribes have developed, but I have never been there to see it.
I also want to go over and take a look, to see what our tribe has developed into, and what achievements our fellow tribe members have made in the south..."
Junior Brother Sha looked at Han Cheng, full of sincerity and expectation.
Hearing what Junior Brother Sha said, Han Cheng also nodded, expressing his approval of what Junior Brother Sha said.
"But you are the person in charge of the Qinling Residential Area. If you leave, it will have an impact here. Before you leave, you have to find a suitable person to replace you to perform your usual duties here. You can't just because you left.
Let some chaos happen here in the Qinling residential area."
"Don't worry, Son of God, I will definitely arrange these things properly."
After hearing that Shenzi agreed to follow the team south, Junior Brother Sha suddenly became happy.
He nodded heavily to Han Cheng, then sat here for a while, and soon went out to make arrangements for these things...
Wu didn't stay here too long this time. After just over a day, he set off again, heading towards the tall and majestic Qinling Mountains.
When I left, I picked up a handful of soil from here.
The spacious road was built to the edge of the Qinling Mountains and disappeared, so the ox cart that Wu rode could only stay here, and could not go any further.
For this, Wu had already been mentally prepared for this. He got off the bullock cart very decisively, holding his little daughter in one hand, preparing to continue along this road and cross the barrier that blocked the north from the south.
Big mountains.
As for the steep and difficult roads within the Qinling Mountains, Han Cheng, who had traveled many times between the tribes in the south and the tribes in the north, was very clear about it.
At the same time, he also knew the body of the witch, so he was already prepared for it.
The people of the tribe carried a shoulder cart made of two strong poles and something like a seat.
To put it bluntly, this thing is a large chair like a grand master's chair tied to two separate poles.
One person in front and one person in the back put the left and right poles on their left and right shoulders respectively and carried them forward.
This is a relatively primitive sedan.
It was specially prepared by Han Cheng for Wu to help him cross this difficult road.
After all, Wu's body cannot be compared with that of young people, not to mention that he is still sick at this time.
If he was really allowed to rely on himself to cross the steep Qinling Mountains, it would be too unkind to Wu.
After walking about less than a mile, Han Chenggong arranged for the witch to get on his shoulders and have people carry him while walking.
Wu also knew his physical condition, so he did not resist Han Cheng's arrangement and sat on the shoulder table obediently.
Let two strong men from the tribe carry him forward.
The little daughter of the witch wanted to play closely with the witch as her father, and she also wanted to run up to the father.
The witch who usually loved his little daughter very much did not agree to his little daughter's request this time, but asked her to follow her mother.
From Wu's point of view, it was already too much for him to be carried away. If he allowed his little daughter to be carried away again, it would be really unjustifiable!
I didn't see Xiao Wandou and Xiao Huangdou, the two children of the Son of God, walking with the crowd. At most, they were riding animals on some roads that could be ridden on donkeys.
On the way forward, the shaman spent most of the time on the shoulder cart, being carried forward.
But in some dangerous places, even sitting on a shoulder cart is unsafe.
At this time, the wizard will get off the carriage, and then walk forward on his own with the support and care of Junior Brother Han Chengsha or other people traveling with him.
After all, Wu was getting old. Even though Han Cheng and others had tried their best to take care of him during this journey, Wu still looked very tired and looked thinner than before.
But the spirit is very good.
Every day, I seem to be in high spirits and have a high interest in traveling south.
After a difficult journey, Han Cheng and the others finally slowly crossed this road, which was extremely unfriendly to the elderly.
"Wu, it's right here. You see at this time, there are still many oranges hanging on those cliffs.
In the past, when we returned to the main tribe from here, we would ask the monkeys above to bring us oranges, and then we would take the oranges back to the main tribe."
Han Cheng and others came to the place where they used to cheat monkeys.
Han Cheng, the divine son of the Qingque tribe, introduced the wizard to the wizard with great interest.
The terrain here is relatively open and the roads are relatively flat. Once you get here, it will take at most two days to get out.
Therefore, Han Cheng and others seemed relatively relaxed.
After hearing Han Cheng's introduction, Wu immediately became interested.
He also wanted to see what Han Cheng said about letting monkeys pick fruits.
So Han Chenggong asked the team to stop and repair here.
He took out furs and other things, spread them under the cliffs, and then began to provoke the monkeys who were chirping on them.
The witch saw it interestingly, so he came here, took a stone, and threw it at the monkey above.
Although the throw was not very far, it was still very enjoyable.
When the monkeys on the cliff saw these people coming to challenge them again, they became furious, chirped, and began to pick oranges from the trees, turning to fight back against the two-legged monkeys below who didn't know the heights of the sky.
Looking at the big oranges falling down like rain, Wu, the old man, laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared...
