Chapter 171: Words

One morning a few days later, the sound of Lang Lang reading could be heard in the Chen family.

The sound was noisy, but loud.

Looking closer, it was a school that was built just two days ago and was located next to the family.

Even the paint on the pillars in front of the school has not dried yet.

In the school, the young men of the family gathered together, and each young man held a book made of silk in his hands.

In front, Chen Tianquan held a ruler in his hand and looked at the family boy below who was studying seriously with a look of relief on his face.

He had worked hard these days and finally learned a lot of new words, otherwise he would have been embarrassed in front of these younger members of the family.

At this time, a young man suddenly raised his hand and said:

"Uncle Tianquan Clan, what do you mean by this sentence?"

"Which sentence?"

Chen Tianquan looked solemn, with a bit of majesty on his face, and slowly approached.

The young man pointed to a sentence in the book and read:

"That's it. If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

Hearing someone ask, the other teenagers who were still reading stopped and listened carefully. They did not understand the meaning of these profound words, and naturally they wanted to know what they meant.

Seeing the studious looks from all the young people in the school, Chen Tianquan's scalp felt a little numb.

He had just learned a few more words, so he didn't know what this sentence meant.

But as the elder of the family, if he said that he didn't know, wouldn't it be a disgrace? How would he raise his head in front of these juniors in the future?

No, he couldn't allow this to happen.

Chen Tianquan's face was calm, and at the same time, his body was slightly tilted, and he carefully looked at the sentence recorded in the book, thinking about it.

The young people present did not dare to disturb him when they saw this, so they could only wait.

Soon, Chen Tianquan's eyes lit up, he clapped his ruler and said confidently:

"Chao Wen Dao, you can die at night. This sentence means that if you know the way to your home in the morning, you can die in the evening!"

All the young people who heard this explanation suddenly realized:

"Uncle Tianquan is really knowledgeable. I have seen the explanation of two of the words in this book before. Chao means morning, and Xi means night."

"Uncle Tianquan is so awesome!"

"Quick, write it down! Otherwise you'll forget it later!"

Listening to the praises of the family's younger generations, Chen Tianquan raised his head slightly and showed a smile on his face.

Fortunately, he read a lot in the past two days, otherwise he would be really stumped!

Seeing the excitement on the faces of many young people, Chen Tianquan continued:

"This sentence tells us that when we return home in the future, we must look carefully to see if there is anyone following us, and we must not let others know the way back home."

"In addition, he also told us that when following others, we should go in the morning, so that we can take the clan members to take revenge at night."

All the young people present nodded their heads after hearing this. This makes so much sense!

No wonder the patriarch asked them to read more. It turns out that these few words can express so many meanings!

Chen Tianquan was also pleased to see that his tribe members were high-spirited and diligent in learning.

At this time, another young man spoke:

"Uncle Tianquan Clan, what about this sentence? When a person is about to die, his words are also good!"

Chen Tianquan pondered again, and soon there was a clear understanding in his eyes, and he immediately explained:

"The meaning of this sentence is that only by beating a person until he is almost dead can he speak properly."

"This sentence tells us that only when we become stronger can we ask what we want to ask. After all, if we are too weak, we will not be able to defeat others. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Many young people looked at him with admiration again, just because these few words were so reasonable, they were instantly enlightened.

Seeing many tribesmen looking at him with admiration, Chen Tianquan felt a little guilty.

He didn't know if his explanation of these two sentences was correct, but it still sounded reasonable to him, so it seemed like there wasn't much of a mistake.

In order to prevent the tribesmen from asking further questions, Chen Tianquan immediately raised his hand and said:

"Okay, just remember these two sentences today. If you have any questions, ask them tomorrow."

After dispelling the doubts in the minds of other teenagers, Chen Tianquan felt relieved. He decided to read a book carefully these few nights to avoid embarrassment later.

In the school, Chen Qinghe looked at the two sentences he had just recorded with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Why does he feel that these two sentences are somewhat different from his understanding?

But it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.

In the ancestral hall, Ji Yang, who sensed this scene, fell into deep thought, and even the locust leaves on the tree trunk stopped.

Could it be that he had learned everything wrong before? Or is this how you understand these sentences?

However, considering the current situation of the family and the rules of this world, there seems to be no problem in using these words, and the explanation makes sense.

…

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye it is mid-November. The Chen family, which has been dormant for a month, once again takes action. Many members of the family rush to the fertile fields and start planting winter blood rice.

According to the time of the previous year, at this time, there was already snow falling on Burial Mountain.

However, this year is different from the past. The temperature in the Mass Burial Mountain has not reached its lowest point, and the underground blood spring has not fallen silent due to the cold. It is still very active. This has also led to the normal cultivation of fertile fields now, thus achieving blood rice four seasons a year. crop yield.

All of this is naturally due to the relationship between the family's sacred tree.

Beside the fertile fields, many clan members were busy. Although the family slaves were responsible for taking care of the blood rice, considering that the family slaves were not many and many clan members had nothing else to do, Chen Xingzhen simply organized the clan members to quickly plant the blood rice so that they could harvest it earlier.

Not far from the fertile fields, two figures were lurking in the dark.

These two people were none other than Shi Potian and Shi Podi, who left the family last time to hunt down the two brothers from Meishan.

In fact, the two had returned to the family as early as last month.

The news they brought back when they returned to the family last time also shocked many clan elders.

It was because the bodies of the two brothers from Meishan, who the family wanted to hunt down, had been buried in the mountains at some point.

If it weren't for the family's totem power secretly guiding them, it would be difficult for the two to find their traces.

When the family got the news, they couldn't tell for a while whether the two people died because of the Chen family or because of other reasons.

The clan could not reach a consensus, and the follow-up plan could not be implemented normally. The clan felt that the Chen family might have some undiscovered secrets.

This was also the reason why the two arrived at the mass grave for the second time.

Their current task was to secretly observe the Chen family for a period of time and find out the cause of death of the two brothers in Meishan.

However, the two had been here for more than half a month, and they had not made any major discoveries so far.
