Chapter 1482 Eighteen Solar Terms

"Xing Yu is Xing Yu!" The doll replied, "It eats many of our human races every winter, especially at the beginning of spring, they come here in groups..."

After Xiao Hua walked half a cup of tea, he saw ant-like human figures approaching in groups not far away, Xiao Hua squatted down, and put down the human figures. Sure enough, these human figures were called to carry the meat mantis .

Xiao Hua followed these figures back, and after about half a cup of tea, he arrived at a boulder about a hundred feet in size. Before squatting down, Xiao Hua had already seen that the boulder was hollowed out, and there was either a passage or a small oval nest inside, which should be where the humanoids gathered.

Xiao Hua put the meat mantis on the ground, and the humanoid shouted cheerfully: "My lord, wait a moment, I'll call the elder to come out..."

"Well, um..." Xiao Hua looked around, and sat down cross-legged carefully.

But after a while, a human figure with white beard and hair came out from a big stone, he looked at Xiao Hua, and said in surprise: "My lord, you... are you a human race?"

"Old man..." Xiao Hua said with a smile, "Of course I am a human race!"

"It's not like, it's not like!" The elder shook his head and said, "I have lived for such a long time, and I have never seen a human race like you!"

"You have a long life?" Xiao Hua asked with a smile.

"Hehe..." the elder said proudly, "If I can survive this winter, I will be the longest-lived human race in a hundred miles. I have survived thirteen winters!"

"Ah?" Xiao Hua was surprised, and whispered, "Ten...thirteen winters?"

"Yes!" said the elder, twirling his beard with his hands, "It's really not easy for thirteen years. Oh, with such a big body, you must have a lot of food for the eggs in winter. I'm afraid you won't be able to survive a few winters?"

"This..." Xiao Hua scratched his head and said, "I really don't know!"

"My lord, there is no need to complain..." The elder laughed, "Not every human race is as lucky as me, and my family can only live for one year... There are many people, and even many human races have never lived past the eighteen solar terms!"

Xiao Hua couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know how to explain to the elder, he couldn't say that he lived for hundreds of thousands of years, could he?

This ant-like elder feels great after living for thirteen years. How could he know what hundreds of thousands of years are like?

"Ahem..." Xiao Hua coughed twice, and said with a smile, "Elders are really enviable! But, eighteen solar terms... what is it?"

"Oh, life is too short!" The elder sighed and said, "Some people live for one year, and the seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter can no longer record their sufferings, so our human race has subdivided eighteen solar terms in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is used to record the splendor of the human race!"

"Eighteen solar terms?" Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment, and said strangely, "Can the elder explain the confusion?"

"Poor lord!" The elder shook his head slightly, "You don't even know the eighteen solar terms, I really don't know how you got here this year! Oh, oh, I see, my lord only looks for food every day But busy, don't care about other things at all, poor ah!"

Xiao Hua looked at the elder, he didn't know what the elder was thinking, he kept saying that he was pitiful, wouldn't he be afraid that he would crush him to death with one finger?

But thinking about this ant-like elder, he might not be able to walk a hundred miles in the past thirteen years. He has never seen a human race as big as himself. Naturally, the ignorant is fearless!

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Hua said with a smile, "I was running around to survive, and I really ignored the details of life."

"Well..." the elder replied, "Since that's the case, I can teach you and let you know the wisdom of my human race. The so-called eighteen solar terms, spring has Lichun, rain, Jingzhe, vernal equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain, summer has Lixia, Xiaoman, Earbud, Summer Solstice, Minor Heat, Great Heat, Autumn has Liqiu, Chushu, White Dew, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew, and Frost's Descent! A simple memory is: spring rains startle the spring and clear the valley sky, summer is full of awns and summer is connected with summer, and autumn is dewed by autumn cold and frost."

Xiao Hua was a little surprised, and asked: "Why is there no winter?"

"Winter?" The elder gave Xiao Hua a white look, looked at him with contempt, and asked, "Have you ever seen Winter?"

Before Xiao Hua could speak, the elder went on to say: "I wait for the human race to turn their eggs into winter and cook for the winter, so there are no solar terms in winter."

"Okay..." Xiao Hua said helplessly, "Can the elder elaborate on the situation of the eighteen solar terms?"

"Why are you so anxious?" the elder asked, "I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter?"

"Well, yes!" Xiao Hua replied following the elder's words.

"It's fine if you want me to say it..." The elder smiled, "But my lord has to help us bring some food back!"

Seeing the elder's slightly cunning expression, Xiao Hua said with a smile: "No problem."

"Over there..." The tentacles on the top of the elder's head shook a few times, then raised his hand and pointed at one place, "About a dozen miles away, the children just found gray amber, and originally wanted to give up. After all, it's too far away. , but now there are adults to help, I think..."

"Don't think about it!" Xiao Hua laughed, stretched out his finger and said, "The elder wants to follow me to have a look!"

"I...Can I?" The elder looked at Xiao Hua's fingers, surprised and delighted.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Hua nodded, "I still want to hear the Elder talk about the Eighteen Solar Terms!"

"Okay, okay..." The elder happily jumped on Xiao Hua's fingers, and the thin wings flapped in his vest.

Ten miles is nothing to Xiao Hua, but to the ant-figures, it is too far away, Xiao Hua didn't know how these ant-figures communicated, so he tentatively asked: "Elder, how do you know?" News from a dozen miles away?"

The elder stood on the palm of Xiao Hua's hand, watching Xiao Hua's striding strides, watching the earth retreat like flying, his heart was shaken, and he never heard Xiao Hua's question for a while.

"Elder?" Xiao Hua called again, and the elder came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Hua and said shyly, "To tell the truth, although I have lived a long time, I have not traveled many places, far away from the clan like this Earth, it’s something that happened when I was young. Oh, my lord doesn’t know, when I was young, I was very courageous, once I fought with Yao Moth, and was taken to the sky by it, so I can fly like today!”

"The elder has such an extraordinary experience, so he can live for such a long time..." Xiao Hua just said something, and the elder suddenly exclaimed, "My lord, can... can you hurry up? Other human races have discovered Huihu, and they have given it to the clan. The summons have been made, they...their clan is closer to Huihu!"

"Easy to say!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "I'll run over right now!"

Said, Xiao Hua ran to the direction the elder pointed, and then asked while running, "How does the elder know things that are more than ten miles away?"

"Hehe..." The elder replied with a smile again, "I and the rest of the clan don't need to talk, we just need to shake the tentacles to know each other's meaning. Of course, the distance that the tentacles can send messages is limited, and I can't directly know the distance between tens of miles. The other things were told by other clansmen. Oh, it's here..."

As the elder's voice fell to the ground, Xiao Hua stopped in his tracks. He looked around, and sure enough, not far from his feet, there was a gray mouse-shaped corpse about ten feet in size. Shaking the tentacle at himself.

"My lord..." the elder yelled and said, "That's it, hurry up..."

"This..." Xiao Hua looked at some rotten gray amber corpses, hesitantly said, "Although this thing is big, but... it's already broken, it can't be used as food..."

"Hey..." the elder sighed, "Why didn't I know it was broken? But...but even if it is broken, it can still be eaten, and it can also make my clansmen carry the cool stuff..."

As he said that, the elder stomped anxiously, pointed in one direction and said, "Look, my lord, the other tribesmen have come to snatch it!"

Xiao Hua squinted his eyes and looked, there were really some ants and figures galloping here.

"Let's go!" Xiao Hua thought for a while, and said, "I don't want this gray amber, I will help you find some fresh ones!"

"Really?" The elder couldn't believe his ears, and asked back, "We dare not ask for your own food, after all, you have to endure the winter!"

"No, no!" Xiao Hua stretched out his hand, took the other human figures with him, and said, "I eat less, just leave a little for you!"

"Then...thank you so much!" The elder thanked him rarely.

Xiao Hua smiled, but after walking for a few miles, seeing a small beast similar to gray amber appeared, he raised his hand and struck it down with a stick, killing the little beast long ago. Seeing Xiao Hua's bravery, the elders instantly turned pale, as if they were afraid!

When he returned to the elder's clan, Xiao Hua had already found three hill-like ingredients for the elder's clan! Moreover, Xiao Hua saw the Ant Humanoid's difficulty in dividing these ingredients, so he simply raised his hand to tear up the little beast's carcass, breaking it into small pieces.

Seeing this, the elder became more and more awed. Seeing the people happily sharing the meat, the elder said cautiously, "My lord, do you want to hear about the eighteen solar terms?"

"I want to, of course I want to!" Xiao Hua nodded.

"Lichun..." The elder sat on a chair in Xiao Hua's hand, looked at the golden land in the distance, and said, "It means that a new reincarnation has begun, which is the beginning of all things and the meaning of rebirth. Not only It is our human race that was born from a broken egg, and it is the earth that warms up and enters a new era. Standing means 'beginning'; spring represents warmth and growth. Our race is not good at farming. It is said that some human races in the distance sow seeds on this day... "

Speaking of this, the elder hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master, in fact, the eighteen solar terms are easy to say, but...but you really want to know the details, if you don't have to wait for the next year, oh, it doesn't have to be the next year. Let’s talk about it with adults..."

"Okay!" Xiao Hua clapped his hands and smiled, "This idea is good!"

Xiao Hua's palms were like thunder, frightening the elder's figure, almost falling from mid-air.

When the elder stood firm, he said: "My lord, it is Liqiu now! Liqiu is the first solar term in autumn, which marks the official start of Mengqiu season: 'Autumn' means that the heat is gone and the coolness is coming. From this day, autumn begins. , the autumn is high and the air is crisp, the moon is bright and the wind is clear. Since then, the temperature has gradually dropped from the hottest..."
