In the north of the wilderness, two little people, one big and one small, were sitting on a jade unicorn, walking slowly forward.
Along the way, the land was replaced by a scene of grassland, boundless. Looking at the sweet little girl Ji Youyu sleeping in front of him, Meng Chang did not panic as expected, but felt much more at ease.
He is like a duckweed without roots. Since his father passed away, he seems to have regained that sense of belonging.
Time is meaningless here. The little girl seems to be born with a strong ability to sense directions. Meng Chang can't even tell the left and right, but Ji Youyu can point out a direction every time and tell him that the horror ahead is about to enter. There are earth dragons and piranhas in Daze.
Not only did she know the direction, but she also knew the surrounding situation well. To paraphrase Ji Youyu, the stars were guiding her.
When Mengchang arrived at the swamp in anticipation, there was not a single strange animal except for countless bird droppings and feathers. Instead, there was a huge earth dragon under the swamp, that is, a crocodile.
Meng Changchang had eaten crocodile meat before, and it tasted pretty good. The meat was like chicken and beef, but it was lighter, tighter, and chewy. This meant that it was inconvenient to carry kitchen utensils with you, and it was difficult to cook crocodile meat, and there were too many mosquitoes near the swamp. Meng Chang felt a little sorry for the little person in his arms, otherwise he would have rested beside this swamp for a while.
Now he is not traveling alone, and he cannot eat everything without any restrictions. He can digest it, but Ji Youyu in his arms may not have all restrictions.
Meng Chang picked out a stone from his arms, aimed at a pheasant with colorful tail feathers, and threw it out. As if the chicken's head was hit hard, it immediately collapsed to the ground and kicked up its legs.
I walked forward for a while, found a rare forest, and picked a few unknown fruits that were not poisonous when tasted in my mouth. They were pantothenic and had many seeds. They tasted a bit like kiwi fruit, but the texture was similar to oranges, so I made do with it. Squeeze the fruit into juice, apply it evenly on the smooth skin of the pheasant after the feathers have been removed, and make the best use of the dried fruit by stuffing it into the chicken belly.
Mengchang lit up a bonfire, strung a pheasant the size of a big white goose on tree branches, and roasted it over a slow fire.
Looking at the sleepy Ji Youyu, Mengchang took out a white cloak from the animal bag and gently covered the little girl's body.
Seemingly seeing Mengchang start to rest, Bai Tian withdrew his sight. Mengchang saw the night of this world for the first time, the abrupt switch from light to darkness in an instant.
But it's not completely lightless. There is a huge pearl on top of Zhongshan Mountain. Its faint light is like a small moon, still illuminating the world weakly. There are also some strange creatures on the major islands that emit a faint light, like stars.
The light suddenly turned dark. Meng Chang closed his eyes and felt a little dizzy. Even if there was a fire in front of him, his vision was blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly. He kept rubbing his eyes, with sour tears at the corners of his eyes. It took him a while to recover. come over.
When Mengchang opened his eyes again, he saw Ji Youyu looking at the beautiful "sky" in confusion, a little dazed.
"What's wrong? There's a fish."
"Father, this place is so beautiful."
This time, Mengchang didn't worry about the little girl's name. He kept correcting him along the way. Ji Youyu seemed to have accepted the rules of the tribe, and the caregiver was the father. He would never change his words, as if she didn't abide by the rules. , there is a possibility of being left behind by Meng Chang at any time.
When setting off, Mengchang specially brought Ji Youyu to Daze and asked him to scrub the dirt all over his body before setting out on the road. At this time, Youyu was wearing a rabbit fur sweater. Under the faint starlight, she finally looked like a little beauty, showing off her original cuteness as a girl.
"Are there any fish you haven't seen before?"
Ji Youyu turned around, looked at his new father, and shook his head: "Very few, the last time I saw this sky seemed like yesterday, and it seemed like a long, long time passed. Youyu seemed to have slept for a long, long time. Okay. Strange!"
Ji Youyu, who was still a little dazed, sniffed lightly and jumped up immediately. Then he looked around cautiously, rushed into Meng Chang's arms, and whispered to Meng Chang in a low voice.
"Father, this is a wilderness. Grandpa said that when the tribe is not around, it is best not to light a fire or grill the prey, otherwise it will attract wild beasts."
Mengchang was stunned, and looked at Ji Youyu, who was serious and serious about teaching him the basics of "wilderness survival", and instantly burst into laughter.
"Father, please keep your voice down. If you make too much noise, it will startle the wild beasts around you."
Mengchang picked up Ji Youyu and lifted her up. The little girl's two little feet tied with straw braided shoes kicked in panic: "No, no, lifting the cub up high will scare those beasts." Getting more excited.”
A pair of warm hands placed her on Yu Qilin's back.
"Don't be afraid, there is a fish, look what this is under you."
"It's Qilin. It's Jade Qilin!"
"Yes, don't be afraid. My father is very powerful, and your uncle Jade Qilin is also very powerful. We will protect you."
"There are fishes that are also very powerful. There are fishes that can use water to fight off all the beasts."
"Yes, that's it. With fish, no one can bully us in this wild north."
Ji Youyu tilted his head, showed a sweet smile, sniffed slightly, and immediately pointed behind Meng Chang anxiously and shouted: "But, father, the chicken is going to be burnt, the chicken is going to be burnt."
The two immediately stopped fighting and hurriedly arranged the chicken on the grill.
"It smells so good. Father, your roasted chicken is much more delicious than grandpa's."
Ji Youyu, with bulging cheeks, didn't seem to be afraid of being burned at all. He held the big chicken drumstick with his two little hands and began to chew on it. His sharp teeth didn't even spare the bones, cracking and cracking the hard bones. The leather bone swallowed it directly.
Meng Chang originally wanted to stop her, telling her that girls shouldn't be so rough when eating, and that the meat tube was enough, so there was no need to chew the bones and swallow them.
But when I think about it, this world is not normal. They are not modern children who have no worries about food and clothing. Maybe primitive people eat like this. It is good to keep their nature. Learning so many etiquette and polite rules will make them This little girl who was born to survive in the wild was not happy.
Besides, he himself was born with a mud-legged background and couldn't teach any polite etiquette. However, after seeing Ji Youyu's pure heart, Meng Chang also laughed and retrieved some pork meat that he and his brother had fought over for a piece of pork when they were children. fun time.
Clicking, clicking, clicking, the two people, one big and one small, gritted their teeth at each other and chewed the roast chicken bone-in. Meng Chang pretended to fight for the remaining chicken. Ji Youyu kept chewing his cheeks anxiously, thinking He wanted to compete with his father to see who could eat faster, and cheerful laughter resounded throughout the desolate and vibrant Daze.
Worried about the beast? They don't exist. He can't say those mysterious and powerful beings, but he is not afraid of ordinary beasts.
Only when he, the anchor, enters the space, will that space be opened and time will begin to pass. Simply because it is inconvenient to move in the dark, Mengchang patiently holds Ji Youyu in his arms, and then He talked about human stories, the wonderful history of the Five Emperors' Zhixia period, and the story of his personal growth and rise.
Drowsiness surged, the little man cuddled up to the adult, and the two lonely people each fell asleep. The jade unicorn lying beside him also closed his eyes and dozed off. Only when a weak beast roar sounded, the jade unicorn's ears would stand up, and he would stand up. Trembling, he sensed his surroundings by instinct.
Time turned, and the night turned back to the day. I don’t know how long the day and night are. It all depends on how long Zhong Shan keeps his eyes open and how long he closes his eyes. Whether the weather is cold or hot depends on whether he is willing to exhale. , or exhale. Breathing out is winter, breathing out is summer.
At the moment of switching between light and dark, Meng Chang immediately opened his eyes, gently put down the little man next to him, raised his hand to condense a ball of water mist, cleaned and tidied it briefly, then picked up Ji Youyu and walked slowly in his arms. In the wilderness, Jade Qilin followed closely, moving slowly along the road signs painted on the ground by fish last night.
After Ji Youyu woke up and was forced to wash away the oil on his face by Meng Chang, the two returned to Yu Qilin's back and began to speed up their pace.
Ji Youyu hummed and gnawed on the apple-sized green dates in his hand. From time to time, he bent down and handed the finished date cores to Yu Qilin, who was jogging. Listening to Yu Qilin chewing the date cores, the little girl He is very excited and will be happy for some very small things all day long.
Gradually, the surrounding wild grassland gradually faded in color, and large areas of rice farmland appeared in the surrounding area. Not far ahead, there were dozens of pillars of smoke standing in the sky.
Finally, he was going to a new place. Meng Chang cheered up and tapped the jade unicorn with his legs to speed it up.
Ji Youyu looked at the smoke and pondered for a while and said: "Father, the direction is right. The country in front should be Dan'er. Only they have the ability to grow rice in any climate and land.
Dan'er Kingdom: Legend has it that it is the clan tribe where Yu Qiang belongs, and it is also one of the five tribes that Zhuan Xu conquered. Hearing this name, Meng Chang felt a little entangled in his heart, but also felt a little relaxed.
The two of them are currently considered Zhuanxu tribesmen. When they meet in the wilderness at this moment, they should not be fighting each other with swords. However, Yu Qiang used all his strength when he fell into the Beihai Eye. He didn't know that Yu Qiang was there in the outside world. There were still people in this world of mountains and seas. Will he receive a divine order from Yu Qiang? He has Gaoyang's dominoes in his arms, so he probably won't attack him rashly.
The jade unicorn is zoomed in from a distance, and the motionless smoke from the far distance seems to be activated, twisting into various shapes and floating upward with the breeze.
Listening to the sound of horse hoofbeats, many warriors dressed in blue ran out of the settlement ahead. These people also had distinctive looks. Their cheeks were carved, and the leather was connected to the ear shells. They were divided into several branches and hung down to the shoulders as decoration.
There are nose rings on their noses, and large earrings made of various animal bones and copper ornaments are strung on their ears. If it were not for the shape of linen clothes and animal skins, these Dan'er people would still have a very post-modernist look. Mainstream rebellious outfit features.
It may be difficult for others to understand this aesthetic, but for the Dan'er people themselves, this is not only a kind of beauty, but also a symbol of their Dan'er identity.
For example, now, when you meet outsiders, you will never mistake someone from your tribe.
"Everyone who comes here should stop. Who is galloping here in the Dan'er Kingdom?"
"Everyone is polite, Gao Yang, Ji Mengchang, passing by here, would like to say hello to you."
After the name recognition was over, the tense situation was immediately relieved, and the people of Dan'er Kingdom danced and cheered.
"Reinforcements have arrived. Our main clan, the Gaoyang clan, has sent his powerful warriors. He is riding the auspicious beast Qilin on the divine horse to help us!"
Looking at the Dan'er people dancing happily on the spot, Meng Chang was a little confused, reinforcements? What reinforcements?
"Youyu, have any people from the Dan'er Kingdom come to ask for help in the tribe recently?"
Ji Youyu looked at these dancers with great interest, and her body couldn't help but want to twist along with them. When she heard her father's question, she shook her head carelessly: "Youyu doesn't know, Youyu has never I’ve never seen people like them in the tribe who can make holes in their bodies.”
Fortunately, these Dan'er people did not intend to dance forever. After dancing for a while, one person immediately sent a message to the settlement in the rear, and another person came forward and said enthusiastically.
"Dear guest, thank you for your assistance to us. Come, follow me, and I will take you to meet our leader Qiang Chen."
Dan'erguo's words had a slight accent, and Meng Chang couldn't hear clearly for a moment. Is this person talking about generals or powerful ministers?
If it was the latter, he had never heard of it. If it was the former, it was the birth of another ancient unsolved mystery.
General, who was born in the 1990s, is not an ancient mythological figure. If this fictional character born in the 90s was introduced into ancient times, this existence would be comparable to that of Nuwa. What a departure!
I have been struggling with the issue of single female protagonist and multiple female protagonists in the book circle. This book does not have a so-called female protagonist. Most of the stories are about myths and legends. If I really want to judge one, Ji Youyu can be regarded as the female protagonist, but I The three views are not distorted, and the relationship is not messed up, so don't get entangled in the issue of whether the heroine is the heroine or not. I am not good at emotional lines, and I won't describe too much, as long as someone can pass it on.
