"Wake up feather is wake up feather!" The figure replied, "it eats a lot of our people every winter, especially at the beginning of spring, they come in groups..."
After half a cup of tea, Xiao Hua saw that on the hill not far away, human figures like ants came in formation. Xiao Hua squatted down and put the human figures down. Sure enough, these human figures were called to carry meat Mantis.
Xiao Hua followed these figures back to a big stone about a hundred feet in size after half a cup of tea. Without waiting to squat down, Xiao Hua had already seen that the big stone had been hollowed out, and that the passage or the small oval nest inside should be where the human forms gathered.
Xiao Hua put the meat mantis on the ground, and the figure cheerfully called out: "wait a moment, my Lord, I'll call the elder out..."
"Well, well..." Xiao Hua looked around and sat down carefully.
But for a long time, a man with white hair and beard came out of a big stone. Looking at Xiao Hua, he was surprised and said, "my Lord, you Are you a human
"The old man..." Xiao Hua said with a smile, "of course I'm a Terran!"
"No, no!" The elder shook his head and said, "I've lived so long, and I haven't seen a human like you!"
"How old are you?" Xiao Hua asked with a smile.
"Ha ha..." The elder said triumphantly, "if I can survive this winter, I'm the longest living Terran in a hundred Li area. I've lived through 13 winters!"
"Ah?" Xiao Hua was surprised and said, "ten Thirteen winters? "
"Yes The elder twirled his beard and said, "it's been 13 years. It's not easy. Oh, my Lord is so big that I think there must be a lot of food for egg melting in winter. I'm afraid I can't survive a few winters? "
"This..." Xiao Hua scratched his head and said, "I really don't know!"
"You don't have to complain..." The elder said with a smile, "not everyone is as lucky as me, and my family can only live for one year It's all over the place. Even many people have never lived through the 18 solar terms! "
Xiao Hua can't laugh or cry. He doesn't know how to explain to the elder. He can't say that he has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, can he?
This elder like an ant has lived for 13 years and felt great. How can he know what it looks like after hundreds of thousands of years?
"Cough..." Xiao Hua coughed softly and said with a smile, "elder, I'm really enviable! However, eighteen solar terms What is it? "
"Well, life is short!" The elder sighed and said, "some people live for a year, and their sufferings can't be recorded in spring, summer, autumn and winter. So we have subdivided 18 solar terms in spring, summer, autumn and winter to record the splendor of the human race!"
"Eighteen solar terms?" Xiao Hua Leng for a while, strange way, "elder can dispel doubt?"
"Poor Lord!" The elder shook his head slightly and said, "I don't even know the eighteen solar terms. I don't know how you came over this year! Oh, oh, I see. Adults are busy looking for food every day. They don't care about anything else at all. Poor you
Xiao Hua looked at the elder. He didn't know what the elder thought. He kept saying that he was pitiful. Wasn't he afraid to run him over with his finger?
However, if you think about this ant like elder, I'm afraid he can't walk a hundred miles in the past 13 years. He has never seen such a big human race as himself. Naturally, he is the ignorant and fearless!
"Yes, yes..." Xiao Hua said with a smile, "I'm running for survival, and I really ignore the details of life."
"Well..." The elder replied, "in this way, I can teach you and let you know the wisdom of my people. The so-called 18 solar terms include the beginning of spring, rain, Jingzhe, equinox, Qingming and Guyu in spring, the beginning of summer, Xiaoman, mangzhong, summer solstice, Xiaoshu and Dashu in summer, and the beginning of autumn, Chushu, Bailu, autumnal equinox, Hanlu and frostfall in autumn! If the simple memory is: spring rain startles spring clear Valley days, summer is full of Miscanthus, summer and summer are connected, autumn dew, autumn cold and frost fall. "
Xiao Hua was a little surprised and asked, "why is there no winter?"
"Winter?" The elder white Xiao Hua one eye, looking at the facial expression is very disdain, ask a way in reply, "adult see the appearance of winter?"
Without waiting for Xiao Hua to speak, the elder continued: "we wait for the Terran to turn into eggs in winter, so there is no solar term in winter."
"Well..." Xiao Hua says helplessly, "elder, can you tell me about the 18 solar terms in detail?"
"Why so anxious?" The elder asked, "I'm afraid I can't survive this winter?"
"Well, yes!" Xiao Huashun answers the elder's words.
"If you want me to say so..." The elder said with a smile, "but the Lord wants to help us get some food back!"
Looking at the elder's slightly cunning look, Xiao Hua said with a smile: "no problem."
"Over there..." The elder shook his tentacles on his head for a few times, then raised his hand and pointed to one place and said, "about ten miles away, the children just found that there is Huihu. Originally they wanted to give up, but it's too far away, but now there are adults to help. I think..."
"Don't think about it!" Xiao Hua laughed and pointed out, "elder, you want to follow me to have a look!"
"I May I? " The elder looked at Xiao Hua's fingers and said with surprise and joy."Why not?" Xiao Hua nodded, "I want to hear the elder share the eighteen solar terms!"
"Good, good..." The elder happily jumped on Xiao Hua's fingers, vest and thin wings flapping.
Ten miles is nothing for Xiao Hua, but it's too far for the ant figures. Xiao Hua doesn't know how these ant figures transmit information, so he tentatively asks, "elder, how do you know the news more than ten miles away?"
The elder stood on the palm of Xiao Hua's hand, watching Xiao Hua walk with great strides, watching the earth retrogress like flying. He was so excited that he didn't hear Xiao Hua's question for a moment.
"Elder?" Xiao Hua called again, and the elder came back. Looking at Xiao Hua's shyness, he said, "to tell you the truth, although I live a long time, I don't have many places to go. It was when I was young that I was so far away from my nationality. Oh, I don't know. When I was young, I was brave. Once I fought with Yao moth, and it took me to the sky to fly like today
"Only with such extraordinary experience can the elder live so long..." When Xiao Huagang said this, the elder suddenly exclaimed, "my Lord, can you Can you hurry up? Some other people have found Huihu. They have already sent a message to the tribe. They They are closer to Huihu! "
"Easy to say!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "I'll run right away!"
With that, Xiao Hua ran to the direction pointed by the elder, and then ran and asked, "how can the elder know things ten miles away?"
"Ha ha..." The elder replied with a smile, "we don't have to talk. We just need to shake our tentacles to know each other's meaning. Of course, the distance between the tentacles to send messages is limited. I can't directly know what's ten miles away. Other people tell us. Oh, here it is... "
As the elder's voice fell to the ground, Xiao Hua stopped. He looked around. Sure enough, not far from his feet, there was a ten foot gray rat like corpse. On one side of the corpse, there were several ant figures, shaking their tentacles madly.
"My lord..." The elder yelled and said, "that's it, quick..."
"This..." Xiao Hua looked at some decadent ashes and hesitated, "although this thing is big, it can But it's broken and can't be used as food... "
"Alas..." The elder sighed, "don't I know it's broken? But But even if it's broken, it can be eaten, and it can make our people carry cool east... "
With that, the elder stamped his feet anxiously, pointed to one direction and said, "look, my Lord, other people have come to rob me!"
Xiao Hua narrowed his eyes and saw that there were some ants galloping.
"Let's go!" Xiao Hua thought about it for a moment and said, "I don't want this grey Hu. I'll help you find some fresh ones!"
"Really?" Some elders could not believe their ears and asked, "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 figures with him, and said, "I don't eat much, just leave a little for you!"
"Well Thank you very much Thank you very much.
Xiao Hua smiles, but after walking for several miles, he sees a small animal like Huihu. He raises his hand and hits it with a stick. He has already killed it. When the elder sees that Xiao Hua is so brave, his face turns pale, as if he is afraid!
After returning to the elder's land, Xiao Hua has found three small mountain food for the elder's people! What's more, Xiao Hua saw that the ant human was hard to divide these ingredients, so he simply raised his hand to tear the animal's body into small pieces.
Seeing this, the elder became more and more awed. Looking at the people happily dividing the meat, the elder said carefully, "do you want to listen to the eighteen solar terms, my lord?"
"Yes, of course!" Xiao Hua nodded.
"The beginning of spring..." The elder sat on a chair in the palm of Xiao Hua's hand, looked at the golden earth in the distance, and said, "it means that a new reincarnation has been opened, which is the beginning of all things and the meaning of all rebirth. It's not only the broken eggs of our human race, but also the warming of the earth, entering a new era. Standing means "beginning"; spring means warmth and growth. We are not good at farming. It is said that some people in the distance sow seeds on this day. "
Speaking of this, the elder hesitated for a moment and said: "in fact, the eighteen solar terms are simple, but But you really want to know the details. If you don't have to stay in the coming year, oh, you don't have to. Let me tell you the six solar terms of autumn first... "
"Good!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "that's a good idea!"
Xiao Hua's palm was like thunder. He was so scared that he almost fell from the sky.
When the elder stood firm, he said, "my Lord, now is the beginning of autumn! The beginning of autumn is the first solar term in autumn, which marks the official beginning of the autumn season of mengqiu: "autumn" refers to the coming of summer heat. From this day on, autumn begins, with clear air, bright moon and clear wind. After that, the temperature gradually decreased from the hottest to the coldest
