Chapter 1483 Fifty-Four Hours
"By the way, my lord..." The elder looked at Xiao Hua, and tentatively said, "I have heard that a long time ago, there were many human races who were as high as a lord, but they couldn't stand the high temperature in summer, so they died one by one. The rest of us who are suitable for the high temperature in summer, you..."
"We may be different from them, we are not afraid of heat..." Xiao Hua explained, "So we survived!"
"Oh, oh, that's good, that's good!" The elder smiled and continued, "I know that people like adults will plant some grass and trees. The beginning of autumn means that autumn is coming, and it also means that the grass and trees are starting to bear children. After the beginning of autumn, it will be the day of harvest. It is a pity that we don't plant fruits, but we can't let adults see the joy of harvest..."
"That's right!" Xiao Hua thought of something and asked, "Elder, are there other things in your clan?"
"Of course!" The elder replied without hesitation, "It's only a few months before the end of winter, and the food the clan needs is not enough!"
"Hehe, let's do this!" Xiao Hua patted his chest and said, "I'll help your clan prepare the food for the winter, and when the preparations are finished, can the elder take me to look around? By the way, let's talk about the six solar terms in autumn? "
The elder was stunned for a moment, and then replied eagerly: "It's a deal, it's a deal!"
In just a few days, Xiao Hua had already prepared a lot of ingredients for the elders and the clansmen, and the elders were also straightforward people. After seeing this, he ordered the clansmen to divide and store the ingredients, and he accompanied Xiao Hua to leave the clan grounds.
Although the elders are humanoid, they are actually similar to ants. His tribe is actually similar to an ant colony. The elder kept talking about things within a hundred miles, but in fact, he never left the tribe's land for fifty miles.
So just after leaving the clan's corpse, the elder was still extremely excited, and kept talking about this and that, which seemed to be citing scriptures, but after staying more than a hundred miles away from the clan's place, the elder's words began to decrease, because what he saw here was no longer the same as what he had seen here. What he thinks and knows is somewhat different.
After staying thousands of miles away from the clan's land, the elders were completely silent, because although the place is still golden yellow, the land is flat, but there are plants that are only a few feet high, and where the wind blows, the heavy fruits undulate like waves.
Xiao Hua knew what the elder was thinking, so he didn't say much, he just walked forward quickly, another thousand miles, the plants decreased, the fruit trees and mountains increased, there was also a human race here, similar in size to the elder, but the human race had wings on their backs, and no forehead Tentacles are similar to bees.
"This... this is what I... what I said before..." The elder spoke in a rare way, and said excitedly, "The end of summer after the beginning of autumn, it should be... it is the solar term for harvesting autumn fruits, look, 'Chu' It means the end of the summer heat, which means that the heat is about to pass, and the heat will end on this day..."
The elder had just said this, when suddenly a voice sounded from a small fruit tree not far away: "How dare you show off here even if you don't know much? What is the solar term for autumn harvest? It's the middle of the fifty-four seasons. It's a bird sacrifice, it has nothing to do with the summer heat!"
"Who? Who??" The elder blushed a little, and the tentacles above his head swung rapidly, obviously trying to defend himself.
Xiao Hua is also puzzled, after all, he also met a lot of Bee-Man and Moth-Man along the way, and he didn't see anyone who could talk, how come there is one who can talk to Elder Ant-Man when he gets here?
Following the elder's inquiry, a bee man flew out with flapping wings, this bee man was not particularly afraid of Xiao Hua, just like the elder, he looked at Xiao Hua, and said in his mouth: "Hello, my lord..."
"My lord!" Xiao Hua understands a little bit, whether it's Bee-man or Ant-man, the "big" in people's mouths, this "big" refers to the big and small, and it is definitely not the honorific title for people in the ordinary human race.
"Hello!" Xiao Hua smiled, squatted down, and stretched out a hand in front of the bee man. He didn't ask the bee man's name, because he had already tried the elder ant man before, and the elder ant man didn't know what it was. Names, the ant-men communicate directly with their tentacles, and there are very few people who can talk to another ant-man like him.
"You... What did you say fifty-four hours?" Elder Ant-Man didn't wait for Bee-Man to fly to Xiao Hua's palm, and asked slightly, "It's clearly eighteen solar terms!"
"What eighteen solar terms? Fifty-four seasons!!" The bee man argued without showing weakness, "I have lived for thirteen years. If I survive this winter, I will be the longest-lived within a hundred miles. Human race, what I said is still wrong?"
"Ah?" Xiao Hua and Elder Ant-Man were both surprised, but Elder Ant-Man immediately shouted, "I've also passed thirteen years, why don't I know?"
"You? You also lived for thirteen years??" Bee-Man was taken aback, his figure fell into Xiao Hua's palm, looked at Ant-Man, and asked, "You...are you telling the truth?"
Obviously, the bee-man and the ant-man have some sympathy for each other.
The two human races talked for a while, and Xiao Hua understood that Bee-Man's year counting is different from Ant-Man's, it is fifty-four seasons, spring, summer and autumn, and each season has eighteen seasons. The summer heat mentioned by the ant population should correspond to the three seasons in the bee people, namely Ying Nai Ji Bird, Tian Di Shi Su and He Naideng, and He Naideng is the real time for the fruit to ripen.
Hearing that the eagle is a sacrifice bird, Xiao Hua smiled and asked the bee man: "Have you seen an eagle?"
"Eagle?" The bee man shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know!"
"What does it mean that the eagle is a bird of worship?"
"It's boring, isn't it?" the bee man asked back, "Isn't it just a waiting? What do you mean by that?"
"What about He Naiden?"
"Didn't you just say it? It's time for the fruit to ripen!"
"Then have you seen 'He'?"
"I've never heard of it!" Bee Man shook his head blankly, at this time Elder Ant Man hurriedly said, "I've seen it, I've seen it..."
The bee man wondered, "Where did you see it?"
Elder Ant-Man naturally didn't know what 'grain' was before, but Xiao Hua told him the concept of rice grain in the planting land he just passed, and he hurriedly said what Xiao Hua said in a nutshell, and then lazily He proudly said: "That is the real 'He Naideng'!"
"How...how is it possible?" The bee man blushed and said, "I have lived for thirteen years..."
"I've lived for thirteen years!" Before Bee-Man could finish speaking, Elder Ant-Man interrupted him, "But... I've been walking with my lord these days, and I feel that the things I've seen are thirteen years older than I am. I have seen so many in years!"
"This... this..." The bee man's eyes glowed with excitement, and he said eagerly, "Can... can you take me with you?"
"My lord..." Elder Ant-Man looked at Xiao Hua, and said, "If there are no accidents, he and I should not be able to survive this winter. Shall I wait for him and play far away together? I... we Before I die, I want to see... what we have never seen before..."
