Chapter 5 Chapter Three
Qishan landslide, Fuxi and Suiren encountered natural fire by accident. After discovering the ferocity of fire, they also discovered that fire can cook wild animals and eat them. Therefore, Fuxi and Suiren both preserved fire.But soon it rained heavily, and both fires were extinguished.Inspired by the big bird pecking wood, the Suiren went out to look for the fire, and regained the fire by drilling wood.Fuxi got the inspiration, and also invented the technique of making fire by beating and rubbing stones.
However, Suiren was also very distressed when the fire in the Qishan cave was extinguished. It was very heartbreaking to see his tribe return to the state of being naked and drinking blood.He also thought about whether he could go to Chengji opened by Fuxi to see if this precious fire was preserved.But after thinking about it, I felt that I had done too much to Huaxu in the past, and I really didn't have the face to ask Fuxi for help, so I had to give up this plan.Suiren thought hard, and even came up with the idea that there might be other human beings in this world, and maybe these human beings could keep the fire.He walked into the high mountains and wild forests alone, looking for traces of human beings.Day after day, I don't know how many days he has been gone.But the valleys, ravines, groves, and puddles and riverbeds are full of water, so how can people see fire? Suiren was sweating profusely, but he was determined and never looked back, determined to find the kindling.Perhaps his thoughts and actions moved the heavens, and several big birds flew from the sky, chirping non-stop above Suiren's head.The Suiren saw that these birds were beautiful, their voices were melodious, and their dancing around made people's hearts flutter, so he simply followed the birds, and before they knew it, a few days later, they came to an old forest deep in the mountains. There are many birds in this mountain, chirping chirping chirping non-stop, young chickens, sparrows, phoenixes, snow swallows and gray ducks, jumping up and down.Suiren had never seen these birds before, and was fascinated by them, so he didn't want to leave, so he found a shade to rest and watch.It wasn't until the sun set in the west and the moon rose on the mountains that I fell asleep. Suiren was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard the sound of beating trees.Thinking that a wild beast was coming, he jumped up and hid behind the big tree.I turned my head to look for the sides, but I couldn't see any beasts walking.Another sound came, and the Suiren listened carefully, as if he was hitting wood, so he looked for the sound and saw a big bird on a tree trunk, with a red beak and long tail, a thin neck and bright feathers, taller than half a man, pecking wood with its beak.Next to this bird is another bird standing on a branch.The sound of woodpeckers ranges from slow to urgent. If you are tired of pecking wood, you can change it with another bird, and the sound of gaining and gaining continues.These two big birds are the ones that brought the Flinders here.The Suiren saw that the bark of the big tree was pecked by the big bird and the bark fell off, and there was light visible in the trunk, he was amazed.With a clever idea, he found a sharp stone, imitated the bird-like strike on the wood, and put some dry weeds beside it, and even drilled a fire on the wood.Suiren was overjoyed, and drilled with all his strength, the wood became hotter and hotter, and there was a burnt smell, and the dry weeds couldn't bear the heat, and finally got sparks.The Suiren added fine grass again, and the fire finally ignited blazingly. The Suiren looked at the big birds again, but they had disappeared without a trace.The Suiren fell to the ground and bowed, praying in his mouth: "The divine bird led me here and taught me how to drill wood to make fire. It is the fire bird in the sky!" Suiren hid this mountain and forest in his heart, walked for more than a few months, and finally returned to Jiangshui with a torch.At this time, several days have passed, and Fuxi left early.Seeing the Suiren raising the fire again, the clansmen immediately cheered.At this time, Hou Jiang was terminally ill, and his breath was already weak. He ordered people to find Suiren, told Fuxi that he had come to borrow fire, and asked Suiren to send the fire to the place where Weishui became a century.Hou Jiang said: "Suiren, in the past... what Fuxi said and did was not unreasonable. I don't think I can survive. After I die, you can succeed the patriarch. Abandon the former Jiang clan... those only women can Inheriting the patriarch's outdated thoughts, you and Fuxi are related. I have already seen this. After you become the patriarch, lead the Jiang clan to Fuxi! If you can join them, go to find a new way of human existence. Ways are by no means a bad thing.... You have to take care of each other. Over the years... since I became the patriarch, you have listened to me and are very worthy of me, so... I still have one thing to ask, which is you ...to take good care of my daughters..." After speaking intermittently, he closed his eyes.After Jiang died, the matrilineal clan ended here. Suiren first left his clansmen in the cave, followed Hou Jiang's last words, walked for a few days, and finally came to Chengji, where he found Fuxi's house.At this time, Fuxi was working with Nuwa to rebuild the place destroyed by the heavy rain, and the houses, livestock pens, and traps were almost repaired.The Suiren didn't disturb them. He looked at the houses, livestock pens, ditches, etc., and he also saw the fierce tiger that Nuwa was raising.Suiren was very emotional, and he said to himself: "It's really unexpected that tigers, elk, cattle, sheep, etc. can keep healthy like this. Fuxi, what a miracle." After reading it, the Suiren came into the room and shouted: "Fuxi, there is fire!" After hearing this, Fuxi and Nuwa came out, seeing the Suiren and the fire, with mixed feelings.Suiren handed the fire to Fuxi, and told Jiang Zuxun later, Fuxi burst into tears.Suiren asked in puzzlement, "Jiang always makes things difficult for you, but now that she's dead, why are you crying?" Fuxi sobbed and said, "Although Patriarch Hou Jiang has done something wrong to me, my mother, and my sister, she is still fulfilling her responsibilities as the patriarch. In the end, she did not forget to ask you to come to Chengji to send fire to us, which shows that she still wants to looking at us, I'm crying for it!" Suiren entered the house and saw Hua Xu. Hua Xu had already seen Suiren by stealth. She turned her head away, as if she hadn't seen Suiren.Suiren opened his mouth a few times, and finally sighed, but didn't say anything, so he had to go out of the house to see Fuxi. Suiren took some wooden sticks and fine grass, and told Fuxi how he drilled wood to make fire while doing it. Fuxi was very pleasantly surprised when he heard it, and finally realized it.Fu Xi said: "We have also seen fire in the stone tools in the past, but we didn't expect that fire can be regenerated. Now we also do it to see." So Fuxi and Suiren got some dry weeds, put them next to the stone they were going to make, and rubbed the two stones against each other. After a while, the weeds caught fire.Seeing the flames he created, Fuxi was so moved that he cried.He bowed deeply to Suiren, and said: "Thank you, Fuxi, for passing on such a great invention to me. This ability to make fire will surely benefit generations of people in the future, and mankind will remember it." Yours, Suiren, I implore you to stay and be the master of Chengji." The Suiren shook his head and said, "I can't stay here. There are a lot of things I need to do in the cave. When I came to you today, I realized that the house I built can also be used by people. And all kinds of animals can be used to live in the cave." Raised, Fuxi, you have created a miracle in the world, you are a capable person. In this case, I am relieved. I am leaving, I hope you take good care of your mother and sister, and I will send you some in a few days Clansmen from the cave, build a decent clan and tribe yourself!" After Suiren finished speaking, he took another look at where Hua Xu lived, bowed his head and left. Fuxi shouted loudly: "In a few days, I will finish repairing this place, and I will go to the cave to see you!"
