Chapter 694: The Bronze Mountain People Who Want to See Through
The days after the snow fell were more quiet and less noisy. Sometimes Han Cheng sat in front of the window in a daze, feeling that time seemed to have stopped.
This was of course an illusion, because when he looked back, in this seemingly still state, a lot of time had passed.
Piles of stones were piled up in the open space between the old fence and the new fence, and a lot of burned charcoal was piled in the empty carbon room.
As these days passed day by day, the people in the tribe began to cheer unconsciously.
Both adults and children are looking forward to the arrival of that fascinating year.
Dazzlingly delicious food, firecrackers, brand new clothes... these things are an important reason why they are so obsessed with New Year.
As for the terrifying Nian beast, the people in the tribe are not worried, because under the leadership of the Son of God and their efforts, that terrifying guy has never dared to approach their tribe...
When everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the new year, Han Cheng called the people from the trading team over and asked them to bring some bacon and other food, four sheep, and two bundles of tribal women sewing.
The made clothes left the tribe and headed towards the Tongshan residential area.
The New Year is coming, and this group of people in the Tongshan residential area are destined to celebrate the New Year there.
These are all people who have made great efforts for the tribe, and Han Cheng does not want them to feel sad or other emotions in their hearts at such an important moment.
In the Tongshan residential area.
After the heavy snow fell, the Tongshan residential area became much quieter.
In the past, when I worked hard all day long and felt sleepy at night, after eating, I would fall asleep quickly, and I didn’t feel that my life was so difficult.
Nowadays, life is more leisurely, but many people are not used to it.
I just feel that a day that used to be gone without much time has now become extremely long.
As the heavy snow falls for longer and longer, the people who stay in the Tongshan residential area miss the warm and lively big tribe more and more.
There is the Son of God, there is something they fight for, and that is where their roots are.
Although they do not have this concept, this feeling that they cannot express in words does indeed exist in their chests.
As time goes by, especially when thinking about the annual festival held in the tribe, more and more people will go to the wall to look in the direction of the tribe.
More and more people looked through the windows to see the blue bird flag fluttering in the cold wind.
They have no way to survive this year, because although there is no shortage of food here, the food is far from as abundant as that of the larger tribes.
And there is no Son of God here, no...
"Look over there!"
In this somewhat sad and depressing situation, a man standing on the wall and looking eastward suddenly shouted loudly.
"It's from the tribe! It's from the tribe! It's from the tribe that's coming!"
After seeing the flag flying at the front of the team from a distance, and seeing some deer and dogs running in the snow, this man immediately started shouting excitedly.
It reacts more violently than a cat whose tail is stepped on.
After such cheers were given out, the peaceful Tongshan residential area suddenly became excited.
People rushed out of the houses quickly. After a slight pause, the gate of the newly built Tongshan residential area was opened wide. Many people rushed out from here, shouting and heading towards the tribesmen in the distance. They were happy.
Like a 300-pound fat man...
With the arrival of the trade team, the Tongshan residential area, which had been silent for a long time, finally became lively.
The fire was burning brightly, cooking millet porridge with bacon to warm the bodies of the people on the trade team who had come from afar.
Junior Brother Sha and others who have been stationed in Tongshan for a long time, not to mention the intimacy they feel when seeing these familiar faces.
"The Son of God said that he was afraid that you would not have a good New Year here, so he asked us to come over and send you things..."
Shang, who was also in a somewhat excited mood, held the hot tea bowl, took two sips of tea into his mouth, and spoke.
"...These are new clothes made by the Son of God, one set for each person.
This is the bacon cured by the tribe, this is wine, drink during the Chinese New Year..."
As Mao spoke, he took out things like magic. It didn't take long for a pile of things to be placed in the house, and there were some mother-in-law and mother-in-law in the bits and pieces.
However, these things and such actions made the people who stayed in the Tongshan residential area, led by Junior Brother Sha, feel warm in their hearts. Some people even felt a sour and hot feeling rising from their stomachs, and they suddenly surged.
Toward the forehead.
Shenzi and other people in the tribe did not forget that he and others had not forgotten him. In such weather, they even sent people from the trade team to brave the heavy snow to give him and others gifts for the New Year...
The joy of seeing people from the tribe, and the things placed in the house along with Mao's somewhat nagging talk, were mixed together, which warmed the entire Tongshan residential area.
The people from the tribe were very attentive and even cut some bamboos and brought them over for everyone in the Tongshan residential area to burn during the Chinese New Year.
In such a heart-warming atmosphere, Junior Brother Sha suddenly realized something.
Even with all the things sent by the Son of God, it is not easy for them to live a good year.
It wasn't that the delivery of things was not sufficient and comprehensive, but that Junior Brother Sha suddenly remembered that the stone was not here.
Without the stone, they could not accurately determine when the year would come.
There is no way to accurately determine when the new year will come, so naturally it is impossible to talk about how to have a good new year.
It seems that we can only wait until the time is right to choose a similar day to visit in the current year, and then shout and beat drums for a period of time in the future to guard against the Nian beast.
"Oh, by the way, there's this."
Mao said as if he suddenly remembered something.
Then he took out a ceramic plate from a package.
These pottery boards are engraved with a row of regular small grids. Inside the small grids are the moon according to the rules of the full and waning moon, and numbers like 1234 are marked below the moon.
This is a calendar derived from stones. Although there are still some fallacies in it, as long as the tribes all use the same calendar, it will not have much impact on the tribe at present.
Some of the grids on this calendar have been marked with diagonal lines, which started from the day they left the tribe.
“One grid is drawn every day, and after reaching this point, it’s New Year’s Eve…”
Mao thought about what the Son of God had told him before he left, and pointed to one of the grids without a moon on it and said to Junior Brother Sha.
Junior Brother Sha's eyes suddenly lit up. This is really a good idea!
