Chapter 596 (1/2)
It rained for three days
The three days of rain washed the earth and beat down the os the land to be wet and all the houses to be filled with humidity Even after the people wiped the blankets they used at night to sleep, they would still be wet
This was hoas during this season
During the three days, very few people left their houses except to hunt Only when it occasionally stopped raining would a few children run out barefooted to play in thein the air
Usually, at thisand pick up a handful of mud not too far away from her house to le ti would play with her with a sirl, he rely Little Thing's fa's request had caused thereatly They did not knohat to choose
This was also why Su Ming was gentle to this family, because if it was anyone else, then this would not even be a choice After all, how difficult would it be to choose between a child they picked off the streets co's father was silent His as also silent Their gazes would alwaysThey would look at the birth's face and her thin body, and their hearts would clench in pain
But when their gazes fell on Su Ming's body, that pale face, that frail body, and the understanding gaze, as well as the expression on his face that treated theain
There were four days left, then it would be time for theive life to dolls e create theive life to dolls?” Su Ming looked at Ugly Little Thing's father and asked softly
On the fourth day since the people frorass before his father and started weaving the grass with his head bent doards
”Everyone needs to be moved… Only when they feel touched in their hearts would they be able to create dolls with life,” Ugly Little Thing's father answered gently, looking at Su Ming, but the coaze in his eyes could not be hidden away
”The dolls your pa once made did not have any life It was only when your brother Xi Er was born and I heard his cries that Ioutside his roo's father called hi The word came out naturally, and there was not a hint of artificialness or intentional acting there When he said that word, he picked up a blade of grass
First, he rass When there were a dozen so
”Before I married your ma, I was a tribe member of Grain Support Tribe It's a small tribe, and there were only about a hundred of us, but we had a long history
”I never had the constitution to practice the ways of the Berserker when I was young I could only be a randfather were the tribe's eternal historians” A s's father's lips, and there was a nostalgic expression on his face
”You knoell that only those who cannot practice the ways of the Berserkers can become eternal historians They only have one job, and that is to record the tribe's history using the acy of Grain Support Tribe is very old, and no one knows precisely when it started But we know that it is all real fro rass knot record We use different grasses and different knots to record history No one can tell their s, only the people who have eneration's eternal historian, but… the disaster that fell on our tribe brought death and separation to er exist I met your ma and came to this place to stay… I' to survive is hard
”But I kno to knot grass, I kno to use these li's father looked at Su Ming When he spoke, his hands never stopped He continued weaving, and when he finished speaking, a small human doll appeared in his hand
That doll was incredibly si!
”This doll is made of twenty nine knots I've recorded all twenty nine of ave your older brother one when he was born, and also another one for your little sister when she was born Now, I'll give this to you” Ugly Little Thing's father handed the doll in his hand to Su Ming
”Grass knot records…”
This was the first ti had heard of this method to record history It did not matter whether it hen he was in the Alliance of the Western Region or when he was in South Morning, all the tribes he saw did not have this sort of scribe, much less the title of eternal historian
But he could tell that it was a position similar to the Head of the Guards and the chief of hunters in a tribe
Su Ming received the doll, but the instant his hand touched it, a sharp, focused glint appeared in his eyes He could clearly tell that there was a wave of life force contained within it That life force was very faint, and if his divine sense hadn't slightly recovered, it would have been incredibly difficult for him to notice its existence
