Winter nights always seem long. The people of the Qingque tribe rarely stay up late. Even if they need to stand guard at night, they do it in two shifts. It is rare to stay up all night like this.
Therefore, by the time it was midnight, many people had already turned around due to drowsiness.
Han Cheng was okay. Firstly, it was because he missed the New Year, and secondly, he had a history of staying up late for a long time. For him, it was just drizzle at this level.
After a while of this, the Qingque tribesmen who couldn't bear it finally followed Han Cheng's suggestion and divided half of them out and went back to their rooms to sleep.
After sleeping for a while, get up and replace the remaining half.
Although Wu wanted to stay overnight, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to sleep.
On the other hand, Huo Er and Shi Shi, the old and the young, are very energetic.
Huo Er was the person who used to take care of the flames at night in the Qingque tribe. He had long since left the habit of staying up late, and he seemed to be more energetic at this time than during the day.
Stone has been painting the moon at night for a long time, and is gradually showing signs of becoming a night owl.
The drums would sound every once in a while, and the flames of the fire never dimmed. This was because the firemen kept adding firewood to the fire.
We had dinner before it got dark. Although my stomach was full from eating at that time, by now, the food in my stomach has been almost digested.
Han Chenggong asked his senior brother who insisted on not sleeping to get some meat and share it with the people who stayed here. He put it on a tree fork and roasted it slowly over the fire, which was quite wild.
This is the first time for people from the Qingque tribe to have late-night snacks, and the feeling is even more amazing.
During these few days of Chinese New Year, they suddenly experienced many strange and unforgettable things that they had never thought of before.
After Shitou ate a piece of barbecue, he carefully picked up the two pottery tablets he had carved on them and brought them closer to the firelight to look at them carefully.
Now, he pays more attention to these two pottery boards. It is based on the moon he carved on the pottery boards that the Son of God can determine the day when the 'year' will come, and his tribe can prepare all this in advance.
…
During the long night, he always wanted to say something to pass the time. Han Cheng told a simple story, which aroused the admiration of everyone in the Qingque tribe. After chatting later, the topic turned to 'year'.
Moon' above these.
Influenced by the Son of God, I like to name stones very much. Suddenly, I suddenly had a whim and wanted to give a name to the new "year".
Because this was the first year since the rough calendar was introduced, he named this year "The First Year" and asked Han Cheng for his opinion.
The practice of naming the year with stones reminded Han Cheng that it is indeed necessary to give the year a name, otherwise the recent years can still be distinguished. You can use the year before last, the year before last, last year, and this year to match, but once
As time goes by, it is inevitable that things will get forgotten.
The first year can also be used to call this year, but it doesn't sound very nice.
Han Cheng was thinking like this, and suddenly a joke-like idea emerged. He smiled, and then said: "Let's call it Qingque Three Years."
"Qingque three years?"
Shitou repeated what Han Cheng said, his eyes lit up and his expression moved, but he soon became confused again.
Qingque refers to their Qingque tribe. It is a very good idea to name the year after Qingque. When people hear it, they will know that it is something from their Qingque tribe. It sounds much better than the first year they named it.
.
It’s just that this year is the first year that ‘nian’ appears. Why didn’t the Son of God call this year the Qingque Year, but the Qingque Three Years?
This made Shitou very confused. He thought hard for a while, but couldn't figure out this confusing question, so he asked the Son of God.
Han Cheng just smiled shamelessly and didn't say the reason.
This made Shitou even more confused, but he could only worry about it secretly and think about the reason.
Holding a small stick and unconsciously scratching the stones on the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up, and after a while he raised his voice and said: "I know! It was autumn when the Son of God came, and that year was the year of Qingque. The previous year
This year is the second year of Qingque, and this year is the third year of Qingque."
After speaking, he looked at Han Cheng expectantly.
Some small thoughts in his heart were expressed. Even though Han Cheng was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little hot in his face. Fortunately, it was night and the flames were beating, so no one noticed anything strange about him.
But Shitou jumped up and down happily, thinking that it was really wonderful to name the year like this.
It was after the arrival of the Son of God that their tribe began to undergo earth-shaking changes. It is only reasonable to regard the year of the Son of God's arrival as the first year.
Not only did he think this way, but other people who gradually knew about the situation, understood it, and didn't understand it all also felt that it was an excellent idea to regard the year when the Son of God arrived as the first year.
As a result, the chronology of the Qingque tribe was determined. The year when the Son of God arrived was the first year of Qingque, and so on, until now it is the third year of Qingque.
It was Han Cheng who suggested that the year of Qingque be called the first year of Qingque. He explained to Shitou and the others that at this time, 'Yuan' and '一' had the same meaning.
Shitou and the others don't understand. Since it means the same thing, why do they still call the year of fun the first year of Qingque? It would be easier to just call it the year of Qingque?
Of course, this is just thinking in my mind.
Since the Son of God said it was the first year of Qingque, then it should be the first year of Qingque.
The darkness before dawn gradually faded, the sky gradually turned white, dawn has arrived, and the terrifying Nian beast has not appeared yet. This means that the Nian beast has been frightened by them and dare not come out. They have defeated the terrifying Nian beast!
The crowd couldn't help but cheer and beat the drums loudly.
Everyone who was sleeping was awakened by the sound of the drums. Thinking of the 'New Year' event, they quickly got up.
When the children opened their eyes and saw the new clothes placed by the kang, they couldn't help but smile. Shenzi's words were indeed true. After a good sleep, they would have new clothes to wear when they woke up the next day!
They couldn't wait to put on their new clothes and ran out in a hurry. They all felt that it would be great if they could celebrate the New Year every day from now on.
Not only is there endless delicious food, but there are also new clothes to wear.
The adults also put on new clothes. Although they behaved more steadily than the children, they were just a lot more happy in their hearts.
In such an atmosphere, the three years of Qingque have passed away quietly, and now we are ushering in the new fourth year of Qingque.
The originally ordinary days immediately became very different due to the appearance of the calendar and the year.
"Witch, happy new year!"
Han Cheng held his hands in front of Wu Gong, who also put on new clothes and walked out of the room, and greeted him with a smile.
Wu felt very awkward about the sudden strange actions and words made by the Son of God. He thought for a moment and roughly understood the meaning, so he followed Han Cheng's example and gave Han Cheng an awkward look, and said the same
: "Son of God, Happy New Year!"
Learning to imitate is something people do consciously or unconsciously, especially for people they respect.
After people in the Han Cheng tribe raised their hands to greet the New Year, this novel way of greeting and blessing quickly spread among the Qingque tribe.
For a while, they just held hands with each other and said Happy New Year.
Han Cheng's face kept smiling, especially after Wu led everyone to irregularly raise their hands to him and say Happy New Year, the smile on his face became even thicker.
