The tribe still looks the same as before, but after careful observation, it is not difficult to notice that there are many changes going on quietly. Then when everyone gathers together to discuss, hey, there are so many different situations in the past. △

For example, by the big river in front of the tribe, you can always see a few old figures walking around there. Not only them, but also the leaders often go around the river, which makes people living in the foothills of the mountain very curious. Even if they don’t catch fish, they will run to the river from time to time.

So, gradually, we have also formed the habit of going around the river when we are fine. Maybe we can meet a senior leader of a tribe and talk about life?

The people on the mountain also found that those old men with bad tempers were actually kind-hearted when treating Shao Xuan! This made them unable to believe it!

Later, even the two big bosses looked at Shao Xuan with strange looks.

There is another thing that makes everyone very puzzled. During the rainy season, several heavyweights on the mountain actually braved the rain and ran to the river every day. This is something that has never happened before. The words passed down from generation to generation have always made the warriors of the tribe always fear the river. It has only been a little better for fishing in recent years, but it is not enough for those on the mountain to come and see it, right?

The doubters continue to be confused, and the expecters continue to be looking forward.

...

It's rainy season again.

When Shao Xuan was sixteen years old, after the sacrificial ceremony, several important figures on the mountain began to suffer from insomnia every day, nervous and excited, gathered together all day to discuss whether the plan needed other changes.

Searching for trees, building boats, making sails, etc. cannot hide too many people from the crowd. During this year's sacrifice, the witch told the story of Shao Xuan's journey on the boat. This news made the entire tribe hotly discussed it for a long time until the rainy season failed to stop. Shao Xuan was often blocked and asked various questions about travel.

Everyone in the tribe was filled with a strong sense of expectation. Although they didn’t understand a lot of what the witch said, it doesn’t mean they didn’t expect it.

During the rainy season, heavy rainstorms came, and the overlords in the river roared and went to the unseen downstream, and the wood-eating bugs were gradually leaving. Most of the creatures in the river followed the giant beasts to the downstream. They would not return from the sea when the moon reunites. Some, like those frogs, appeared for a while, and then went to other places that everyone didn't know, and disappeared.

This time, Shao Xuan would take advantage of the period from the end of the rainy season to the reunion between the two months to travel by boat.

On the day when the rainy season ends, everyone in the tribe, from the mountain to the bottom, from the old to the children, put down the other things at hand and gather next to the Road to Glory.

"Move out." Wu stood on the top of the mountain and said.

Ao, the two big bosses, and several middle-aged soldiers, carefully moved out the canoe placed in the wooden shed.

The widest place of this canoe is nearly three meters wide, ten meters long, and is bush-shaped. The reason why it is built is to stand inside and rest. If only Shao Xuan was the only one, there would be no need for such a large canoe.

The variety of trees that make canoe is the hunting team who went out to find various samples and took them back for Shao Xuan to choose. After the selection, Ao took people to cut down the best and most satisfactory tree and brought them back.

The canoe was made by Shao Xuan and several of the top stone masters in the tribe, including Lao Ke. He hollowed out the cut down big trees and built a large and clever canoe.

Canoe is relatively simple to make, and it is not easy to leak, and there is no risk of falling apart.

The design drawing was also drawn by Shao Xuan himself. When he was drawing it, he also asked other old soldiers in the tribe. Perhaps they did not know canoe, but they could know some useful skills. Shao Xuan then modified it based on these suggestions.

After the drawing was designed, several stone tools masters deliberately cut a lot of wood before starting the game. After all, there is still a big difference between wood tools and stone tools. They dare not start randomly. When they are sure and master the tricks, they come over to solve the canoe together.

This canoe is not too heavy for many totem warriors in the tribe. It is okay for them to resist stones on weekdays, so why is it difficult to resist wood?

But at this moment, several high-level totem warriors were carried by themselves and carried down the mountain later. This is a kind of importance and a solemn etiquette.

Shao Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, and the witch was drawing patterns on his face, just like the warriors going out to hunt, which was a blessing, which meant that the tribe attached importance to it. Even the witch had the totem patterns of the tribe on his feet, imitating the giant eagle on the Eagle Mountain.

After finishing the painting, Shao Xuan bowed to the fire pit, then walked to the canoe, and walked down the road of glory with other people carrying canoes. Zhazha flew up directly and flew over the air.

Behind the canoe, Wu and several other old men from the tribe also followed, with some excited, some worried, and some seemed calm, but the muscle twitching showed that this was not the case in his heart. At this time, many people were prone to think too much, worrying about gains and losses. This is something that concerns the wishes of our ancestors. How can we calm down?

Next to the Road to Glory, the crowd also moved with the canoe, with adults taking children, physically disabled people, or being supported by others, following closely.

Everyone sang "Hunting Song" and "Blessing Song" together. At first, some people were singing on the mountain. Soon, some people sang along the mountain. The whole tribe sang the same song in the same rhythm and pace with the same rhythm and pace in the same sound. For them, singing represents all their moods at the moment.

Most people in the tribe are not good at expressing their emotions and thoughts, and singing is a form of expression.

This is the first time when they sang "Hunting Song", they did not have the impatient murderous aura as before they were hunting, but were filled with fearlessness, fearlessness, and hope.

On this day, the people from the entire tribe collectively saw Shao Xuan off.

What is the other side of the river? They don’t know and never want to explore it. In the eyes of many people, Shao Xuan’s behavior is worthy of admiration, but they do not think that Shao Xuan can pass by safely. This big river is really too dangerous. It’s really a warrior!

After the canoe was transported down the mountain, Ao and several others pushed it carefully into the river.

The canoe made is a side craft canoe.

The so-called "side-side-mounted canoe" is to install a boat-shaped floating material in the same direction as the canoe on one or both sides of the canoe. Shao Xuan designed it as a one-side-side-mounted canoe, because of this, he once played it while traveling abroad.

The side-mounted canoe overcomes the instability of canoes swaying horizontally in the wind and waves, but it also has the advantages of lightweight canoes and structural integrity, and is also a long-distance navigation tool for indigenous people in those places.

The sail is also the most important sailing facility. Now set on it is a sail surface made of leaves and vines. The vines are a thin but very strong vine found in the hunting ground, which makes the best handmade women in the tribe woven in an inverted triangle-shaped sail.

In the eyes of Wu and others, it is best to prepare more things that don’t know whether they will play a role, but because it is really difficult to find that kind of vines, the materials found are only woven into two pieces, one piece is installed, and the other piece is used as a spare. Just one piece is spare, I don’t know if it is enough.

When Shao Xuan was learning from the indigenous people, he learned that such a side-mounted canoe could travel more than 200 kilometers a day. Shao Xuan was not sure here.

Connecting the crossbar of the side boat with the canoe body, checking various places and what you need to bring, Shao Xuancai stood in the canoe and looked at the densely packed people on the shore.

Caesar carried Lao Ke and stood on the shore, watching Shao Xuan in the boat and Zhazha landing inside, humming and wanted to follow him, but Shao Xuan could not take him with him again. If there were dangers and other crises on the river surface, Shao Xuan could let Zhazha carry him, but Caesar could not, and Zhazha could not afford it.

If Zhazha is about the same size as the giant eagles in Yingshan, she can still bring a lot of people, but unfortunately Zhazha is still young now.

"Goodbye. I'm leaving." Shao Xuan bowed to everyone on the shore.

Everyone standing on the shore to see off, led by Wu and the leader, also bowed to Shao Xuan. This was a situation that had never happened in thousands of years.

For the tribe, Shao Xuan is their hope for going out. If Shao Xuan cannot succeed, then no one knows how long it will take to go out again. Maybe in another thousand years, we will still stay where we are.

With a sail, the canoe sailed far away with the wind.

The sail is very big. If it weren't for the totem warriors, Shao Xuan might not be able to operate it.

The big guy Zhazha stood in the canoe and looked at both sides curiously. For it, this was a very novel experience. It could actually stand on the river!

However, such a large ship is still small and cannot move. After standing for a while, he flew into the sky and flew towards the direction Shao Xuan pointed. He was still freer in the sky. When he was tired of flying, he returned to the boat to rest.

"Prayer Song" sounded on the shore and sang a group chorus.

Shao Xuan turned around and looked over there. The people on the shore were getting smaller and smaller, and the houses on the mountain gradually became only a blurred point. The mountain that had lived for nearly eight years gradually disappeared from the place where the water and sky were connected, just like the river bank.

There are no more sounds in my ears except the sound of the wind.

Looking at the direction of the sun in the sky and feeling the slightly changing wind direction, Shao Xuan adjusted the sail and looked ahead. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
