Chapter 19 Chapter 17 Kuafu Chasing the Sun
Fuxi told Shennong how he obtained millet, sugar beets and gourds, and asked Shennong to search for new food for human beings in the vast world.Shennong and four young men, Chi You, Kuafu, and Xing Tian, embarked on a southern tour.On the way, Xing Tian provokes Kuafu and Chi You to compete in skills, which triggers Kuafu's chasing after the sun.Kuafu couldn't catch up with the sun, but was captured by a group of people he didn't know, and was rescued by Chi You.Shennong learned that these people came from the Huo tribe of the Sui people.The Suiren took some of the Jiang clan away in that great flood.
Farming is seasonal and it's not possible to do something like this every day of the year.Shennong entrusted his mother, Nvdeng, with the work of farming in the Taihao tribe. As for himself, he wanted to find more edible and arable things in nature.He said: "Grandpa, I have an idea, what do you think?" Fuxi said, "Say it!" Shennong said: "I feel that on the earth and in nature, there are not only these kinds of edible and usable things such as millet, millet, sugar beets, and gourds. There must be many more, so I want to search everywhere. Once found, we humans will have a lot of self-cultivated food." Fuxi said: "Your idea is very good. The birth of human beings is a very long development process. Why is this process so long? There are too few people like you who are good at discovering and inventing. People don't walk with four limbs. They walk on two legs, but people also have four limbs. What do the other two hands do? They are used for work and inventions. So, in the past, I said The upright walking of human beings is a major difference between human beings and other animals. In addition to having two hands, human beings also have thoughts, and can think about near and far, past and present, moving and still, and immediate and things in the future. In this regard, others are not doing very well, but you are doing very well. Now that you have a lot of good ideas, let’s try to realize them! However, to go to the vast nature, you You can’t go by yourself, there are many things that can harm and eat people in nature, so let your uncle Ji Bo accompany you!” But Shennong said: "In the Taihao tribe, Uncle Jibo has always been responsible for protecting the tribe. I don't want him to leave the tribe because of me, and his responsibility!" Fu Xi said: "Since that's the case, you should choose some strong people from the tribe who can easily fight wild beasts to go with you!" Shen Nong said: "Grandpa, you have only been at home for a short time. You don't know that there are some new characters in our Taihao. They are no less than my uncle in fighting wild beasts!" Fuxi said: "Really? Who is it?" Shen Nong said: "The most powerful is my brother Chi You, as long as Chi You follows me, I will not be afraid of anything!" Fuxi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "It's too lonely and too dangerous for you two brothers to wander the vast land. Let's do it this way! I'll add two more people to you, and I can rest assured that you four go together. Already!" Shennong asked, "Who is it?" Fuxi said: "They are the two children of a giant I once brought up. They have grown up now, and they are probably no worse than Chi You. I will bring Taihao here in a few days. Let's meet each other!" Sure enough, Fuxi brought two people here. When Shennong saw them, they were very mighty and tall, taller than himself, no less than his brother Chiyou.Shennong asked what their names were, and Fuxi said, "The biggest one is called Kuafu, and the shorter one is called Xingtian. They are also a pair of brothers!" It turned out that Fuxi adopted the descendants of three giants in Kunlun Mountains. Among the three, besides Shaodian and Chitian, there was another giant who stayed with Fuxi on Kunlun Mountain. This giant also had a name, Guangchengzi, Fuxi He also found a woman from the Taihao people and made a couple with him.So the brothers Kuafu and Xingtian were born. Kuafu, Xing Tian stayed with Chi You and Shen Nong for half a day, and they gradually became familiar with each other.Shennong felt that the two were very good, so he prepared to leave early, so he bid farewell to his mother Nudeng and grandmother Nuwa, and waited for Fuxi to come back to say goodbye.Fuxi looked at these four young people who grew up in the Taihao tribe, nodded, and agreed with them to go on the road. Before leaving, Fuxi suddenly remembered something, and said to Shennong Kuikai: "You go out this time, there is one more thing. , do you still remember the old man with white hair, eyebrows and beard?" Shen Nong nodded.Fuxi said: "You have to try to find him, and pass on to him your slash-and-burn technique. In the past, he also taught Taihao the technique of drilling wood to make fire!" The next day, Shennong Kuikui led three tall and strong young men, Chi You, Kuafu, and Xing Tian, to search west along the Yellow River towards Jiangshui.Chi You, Kua Fu, and Xing Tian are all four to six years younger than Jiang Yan, but they are all taller and taller than Jiang Yan. Chi You has thick eyebrows and vertical eyes, a big mouth and long chin, round arms, and a fierce face. They are members of the Taihao tribe. He is an expert animal catcher, and his appearance is similar to that of his father Chi Tian.Kuafu's legs are as long as a tree, his feet are as big as roots, he walks as steady as a pillar, and runs the fastest.Xing Tian has a handsome face, but he is also as strong as a bull. He can run and fight wild animals.Among the four, Kui Kui is gentle and refined.Although Chiyou, Kuafu, and Xingtian are brave, they are taught by their families on weekdays and respect Fuxi the most.Today, Shennong is tall and has a free and easy manner of speaking and demeanor. In addition, he has the titles of child prodigy and Shennong very early, so he is naturally respected.Kuafu and Xing Tian also fought Chi You after they met, knowing that Chi You is powerful and is the brother of Shennong Kui Kui, so they naturally obeyed the words of Wen Yiwu.Chi You and Kuafu held up the torches, and Xing Tian carried some edible items. Shennong said as he walked: "Today, we are ordered by Fuxi, the patriarch of the Taihaohua clan, to stay away from the tribe and go out to find grass and food. The four of us should be one with each other and hug each other. Although we are not compatriots, we can be on a blind date. From now on, we shall be like brothers." The three said: "I am willing to listen to my brother's orders!" Shennong said, "Do you know why you are going this way?" The three shook their heads.Shennong said: "Grandpa sent me to swim between the heaven and the earth. Besides looking for food, there is another thing to say, that is to look for a tribe of Suiren." Kuafu asked, "Who is Suiren?" Shennong said: "Do you know how the fire came from? It was made by the Suiren by drilling wood." When the three of them heard this, they also admired the Suiren very much. The four of them climbed over the high mountain and saw a green shade not far ahead, so Shen Nong entered first.This wild grass slope is full of weeds, high or low, more or less, with different branches and leaves, wide and narrow, long and short.Kui Kui pulled up the vegetation and looked carefully.Chi You wondered: "Brother, there are no hares here, what are you looking for?" Shennong ignored him and continued to observe the roots and take the leaves.He crawled up and down, like a man without legs crawling forward.Chi You and the other three chattered, as if watching a strange scene.Xing Tian said: "Chi You, Kua Fu, what do you say this fire is?" Kuafu said, "It's something to keep warm." Chi You said: "No, it's a barbecue." Kuafu said: "Why is it wrong? In winter, it is used to burn the kang, and the clansmen surround it to keep warm." Chi You said: "Isn't that still a barbecue? Isn't burning a kang a fire? Isn't heating a fire?" Kuafu said: "You are cheating! When I say warming, I mean warming the body. When you say barbecue, it means cooking cooked food." Chi You said: "It's barbecue, it's barbecue." Seeing Chi You shouting, Kuafu threw the torch at Chi You in a panic, Chi You dodged the flames and rushed towards Kuafu.Kuafu ran away, but Chi You couldn't catch up.Kuafu was still shouting, "Didn't you say barbecue? I'll just burn you." While chasing, Chi You yelled, "I can't catch up now, I'll kill you when I get back." When Shennong Kuikui saw it, he stood up and shouted, "Kuafu, go back and pick up the fire, don't you know what is the use of fire?" Xing Tian said: "They were arguing over the fire!" Kui Kui said: "Fire can be used for grilling, keeping warm, lighting, and driving away wild animals. If the fire is not careful, it will burn down the mountains and forests! But it can also be used for burning pottery and slash-and-burn cultivation. Useful, although we can also make fire, it is more convenient to hold a torch!" After Chi You heard this, he stopped chasing him, Kuafu also picked up the fire, Xing Tian clapped his hands and said, "Brother Shen Nong is right and correct!" Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Shennong returned to the grass. Xing Tian looked at the sky and asked: "Do you think the sky is big or the earth is big?" Chi You said: "The sky is big." Kuafu said: "The earth is big." Chi You said: "When I say the sky is big, the sky is big. Why do you say that the earth is big? Didn't you quarrel with me?" Kuafu said: "The earth is originally big. Look at the sky, it is supported by the earth. You say the sky is big, go to the sky, don't stand on the ground." Chi You said: "This earth is not your property, why do you let me go to the sky?" After saying that, he put down the fire, raised his fist and said to Kuafu, "Just with these fists, the sky is too big." The two fought again, and Kuafu ran quickly.Xing Tian yelled, told Shen Nong Kui Kui, and said to Shen Nong: "The two of them don't know whether the sky is big or the earth is big, you tell them!" Shennong Kuikui called them back again and said: "I don't know how big the sky is and the earth is big. I only heard that Fuxi, the patriarch of Taihao, said that the sky is round and the earth is round, but who knows which is bigger, the round thing or the square thing? So Let's do it, since Kuafu said the land is big, the day is not far away, look at the sun in the sky, can you catch it?" Kuafu said: "If you can see it, it is not far away. How difficult is it!" Shennong said: "If you can catch up with the sun, the earth is big. Chi You, you say the sky is big, can you count the trees growing on this earth? If you can count them clearly, then the sky is big. " Chi You looked around the mountains and forests and saw that there were only a few green shades on the ground, so he said, "I can! It's so easy for such a small thing!" Shennong Kuikui said: "Okay, then go chase the sun and count the trees. If you catch it, you're done counting. Come back here. Xing Tian and I will wait." Kuafu handed the torch to Xingtian, and ran towards the direction of the sun.Chi You ran to a place where there were forests and trees.Shen Nong looked at Xing Tian and said, "Right and wrong come out of your mouth, so do you think the sky is big or the earth is big?" But Xing Tian smiled and said: "I know what is the use of the sky and the earth, I just want to know who is more powerful, this Kuafu or Chi You." Shennong Kuikui snorted and said, "Who is the best? I think you are the most powerful. Both of them have been hurt by you!" After speaking, he ignored him and walked towards a shady slope. Shennong had just entered the shady slope not far away when a cluster of tender green grass came into his eyes. He stepped forward, bent and scraped away the soil around the grass, and saw that there was an unrotten peel at the root of each grass.So he followed the shady slope and found several nurseries.In these few grass seedlings, there are fruit-like things hanging on the top of the grass seedlings.Kui Kai thought about it, and he felt that these grass seedlings must be transformed from the fruits of the grass seedlings. When they grow up, they turn into grass again and bear fruits.And this kind of grass is everywhere, and it is inexhaustible. If you can distinguish which kind of fruit is edible and which kind of fruit is not edible, and then plant the edible fruit on the ground like slash-and-burn farming, let it Germination, flowering, and fruiting, don't people have another kind of food? Thinking of this, Kui Kai was in high spirits, so he took the object again and put it in his mouth, chewing on the taste. When Xing Tian saw it, he shouted: "Brother Shennong, are you crazy?" Although Shennong felt it was bitter and astringent, he was happy in his heart, and said to Xing Tian, "You should try it too!" Xing Tian avoided it and said: "I can't do it, I'm not crazy, I can't do it!" Chi You first found the forest closest to Shennong, and counted them one by one.He counted one, two, three, four, five, but when he reached ten he couldn't figure out how to count.He scratched his head with his hands, but he couldn't figure out what the next ten would be.Such a large tree with thick roots and lush leaves was placed in front of Chi You, Chi You was like a fool, he didn't know how to find out the tree.Only now did he regret that he didn't listen to his mother and daughter about counting when he was at home.From childhood to adulthood, he didn't care about anything, but was willing to fight. Among Taihao's teenagers, no one was his opponent. Naturally, he got a lot of advice from his father Chi Tian and uncle Ji Bo, but the patriarch's family didn't allow it. As a bully, grandma and Nuwa said a lot about him, and she didn't know how many times she was reprimanded by her mother and Nvdeng for this. Grandpa Fuxi didn't like him as much as Shennong because of this.But he always refuses to change after repeated admonitions, and he doesn't make much improvement in other aspects.But Chi You would never admit defeat, he counted another ten after counting ten, but he didn't know how to count after counting nine tens, seeing that there were still many trees.Chi You couldn't do it anymore, so he took a few branches, opened them forcefully, and shouted: "Why are there so many trees, such damned trees, such damned trees! The sky is big, the sky is big, and the sky is big!" Kuafu ran and ran, but the sun was always against him in the sky not far away, and he was not in a hurry.Kuafu was so tired that he was sweating, hot and thirsty.He went to the Yellow River to drink water, and after drinking, he chased after him.After noon, the sun seemed to be getting faster and faster. Even though it had no legs to move, Kuafu was like the wind, but it couldn't be chased away.Kuafu yelled: "Rito, Rito, wait for me." Rito didn't listen or answer, and jumped over the ginger water.Although Kuafu is tall and has long legs, the Jiangshui River is not narrow, and the waves are rough and deep.I had to climb up the mountain again and walk through the woods.Seeing that there are many forests here and on the other side of Jiangshui, one after another, he became happy and laughed loudly: "Chi You, Chi You, count it, I think you can count it?" Of course Chi You couldn't count them all. Seeing Shen Nong and Xing Tian crawling on the grass in the distance, he chased after them.Shen Nong said: "Chi You, you finished the investigation so quickly?" Chi You said: "After I checked, there are nine tens, so I don't know how to count." Shennong said, "That means the earth is bigger than the sky?" Chi You said: "No, it's still big." Shennong smiled and said, "Aren't you playing tricks? If Kuafu catches up with the sun, you will lose." Chi You scratched his head with his hands and said, "Brother, you are biased! You should be biased towards me, we were born by the same mother, but how can you be biased against Kuafu?" Shennong asked, "Why do I favor Kuafu?" Chi You said: "You asked Kuafu to chase the sun for one day, but you asked me to count so many trees on the ground." Shennong said: "It seems to make sense! Well, I won't let you count the trees, I will let you check the forest piece by piece, can you check it?" Chi You smiled and said, "That's amazing, I can check it out right here, you see, one, two, three... isn't there a total of eight forests!" Shennong said: "How can these eight forests be said to be all the forests on the earth? I mean, as long as there are patches of forests on the ground, you have to check. If you don't believe me, look behind the mountain, there must be forests what!" Shennong pointed to the mountain where Kuafu ran.Chi You ran up the mountain, and sure enough, there were many forests behind the mountain, one after another.He stood on the mountain and counted the woods again. When Shennong and Xingtian came to the top of the mountain, the sun had already set on the distant mountain.Chi You shouted: "I found out, there are ten forests here, and there are six forests." Shennong said: "It should be called sixteen forests. The numbering method of counting forests is ten after nine, six after ten, so it is called six after ten, twenty after nine, and eight more forests." , That is, twenty has eight, and so on. Thirty, thirty has three, forty, forty has four, fifty, fifty has five, this number is the number of heaven and earth that grandpa said, that is, the river The number of pictures! In the future there will be sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, ninety with nine, one hundred, one hundred with one, one hundred with fifty, two hundred, three hundred, nine hundred, and then a thousand , and then ten thousand. Chiyou, Xingtian, do you understand? Chashu and Chalinzi, you must first know how to count, you can’t even count, how can you find out how many forests there are! Chiyou, when I was young, my uncle I gave you the method of counting, but you think it is useless, so you don’t listen, you regret it this time!” Chi You glanced at Nong and nodded, as if he understood. Shen Nong turned to Xing Tian and said, "Xing Tian, you lived with my grandfather on the Kunlun Mountains since you were young, so why don't you know how to count?" Xing Tian pursed his lips and said, "We say we are on Kunlun Mountain, but we live at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and rarely see the patriarch. My father follows the patriarch every day. He rarely comes back, and he doesn't teach Us!" Shennong listened and shook his head. They looked for Kuafu again, but there was no one there.Shennong looked at the mountain road in the distance: "It's over, Kuafu is gone, what will he do if he encounters a wild beast?" Xing Tian said: "Don't be afraid, Kuafu's legs are fast, wild animals can't catch up with him." Chi You said: "I can finally count, I'll go to the mountain to see if there are any trees!" Shennong said: "No need, you can find out wherever we go, if you can find out, you are fine. Let's go to the top of the mountain and find Kuafu!" Chi You and Xing Tian saw that Shen Nong was in a hurry, so they stopped talking and climbed to the top of the mountain with him. When we reached the top of the mountain, the sun disappeared and the sky darkened.All over the mountains and plains are the voices of Shennong Kuikui, Chi You, and Xing Tian shouting "Kua Fu".But never hear back.The three of them were also tired, so Shen Nong asked Xing Tian to light a fire.I hope Kuafu can find it when he sees it. Kuafu was no longer on this mountain at this time, but climbed over two mountains and chased to the top of another mountain.Kuafu chased and chased, and when he was exhausted, he was also tired when he saw the sun, and he slowly descended to the top of the mountain. He became excited again, and ran up the mountain desperately despite the thorns cutting his body.This mountain is the Qishan Mountains.The cave where Fuxi and Nuwa lived in the past is under this mountain.Qishan Mountains are criss-crossed, with continuous ups and downs. When Kuafu climbed to the top of the mountain, the sun has already been covered by the main peak of Qishan Mountain. Where would he find it.Kuafu searched and searched, but when he couldn't see the sun, he burst into tears. Kuafu failed to catch up with the sun, was extremely frustrated, tired and hungry, and finally remembered that he had left Shennong and others for a day, and he had brought neither a torch nor food.It was far away from the river, and it was extremely inconvenient to fish in the river at night, so he wanted to hunt a hare or something for food.Kuafu looked left and right, and suddenly saw a very round and bright mountain on the opposite side. One day, the sun rose, and Kuafu was shocked. He didn't know that the sun was the fire that Shennong and others ignited. The head clearly fell on this mountain, but why did it rise on that mountain again?He carefully observed that the sun did not leave the mountain, and thought that even though he was hungry and tired, he could not lose to Chi You, so he got up, turned back down the mountain, and ran towards the mountain with the sun. As soon as Kuafu arrived at the bottom of the mountain, in a trance, he saw something hiding behind a tree, so he looked at it carefully. It turned out that the thing was also a person with his upper body exposed, smaller than himself, looking around.Kuafu was astonished, why are there still people in this deep mountain?Then he shouted: "Who are you, why don't you dare to come out?" The man didn't listen, turned around and ran away.Kuafu flew up and chased after him.Although that man was fast, how could he run past Kuafu?Seeing that he was about to catch up, the man turned around a bush and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Kuafu searched left and right, but he couldn't find the person. He was puzzled, but saw a hole in the rock a few steps away. He thought, that person must have got into the hole, and without thinking much, he strode over and bent down. Just go in, but he is too tall, and he has to lower his body to get in, so it is very difficult to enter the hole.He lowered his body vigorously, but before he could get in, he felt the sound of wind blowing towards his ears. Kuafu yelled: "No!" Two people, and two others also showed their heads.These four people were all holding wooden sticks and had fierce faces, one of them was the one that Kuafu was chasing.There was a man who seemed to be a big man, and he was very surprised when he saw the tall Kuafu. He looked around and shouted, "Are you human? Where did you come from?" Kuafu was not cowardly, he smiled and said, "I am not a human being, what am I? You people are so strange, why are you hiding in the cave?" His voice was extremely loud. The man said: "Since you are human, why don't you look like us, such a tall man?" Kuafu grinned again and said, "If you ask me, whoever I ask, I was born taller than others!" , looked back and forth at these people and said, "Why haven't I seen you? Are you also from Taihao? Why did you hit me with a wooden stick as soon as we met! Could it be that you are as unreasonable assholes like Chi You?" The man rolled his eyes a few times, as if he understood Kuafu's words, he said to his accomplices: "This big man is dishonest, he seems to be scolding us! I'll find a way to catch him and hand him over to the old patriarch, how about it? "The other three nodded. Kuafu understood what he heard, and said: "Patriarch? You mean Fuxi from the Taihaohua clan? You don't need to catch him, I recognize him." One person heard it, half-understood and said: "Taihao, Fuxi, what are they!" Kuafu yelled: "You dare to scold the patriarch, don't you want to live?" Before finishing speaking, he flew his long legs and kicked the speaker.Kuafu was originally far away from those people, but his legs were extremely long and he was tall. The person between his outstretched legs was too late to dodge. He was kicked in the chest by Kuafu, and he staggered and fell backwards.Seeing their companions being kicked, the other three were very angry. They couldn't help but wave the three sticks at Kuafu together, but their arms and the stick could only reach Kuafu's chest.But these people were very dexterous and moved quickly. Seeing that they couldn't reach Kuafu's head, they all slammed on Kuafu's legs.Kuafu couldn't resist, so he turned around and ran away.But there are many trees here, not as open as the field, he is tall and has long legs, it is not easy to avoid the trees, and he has not eaten for a day, so he is out of breath after running not far.Looking back, there were three people chasing after him.Kuafu turned his head and ran again, but saw a person falling from the tree in front of him. Although he was holding a wooden stick, he was still as light as an ape. It was the leader.Kuafu's legs went limp, and he said, "I'm not running away, you guys want to catch me, just catch me, you catch me!" After finishing speaking, he actually sat on a big rock.Sitting there, he could still catch up with these few people.Two people from behind rushed forward and grabbed his arms, and the kicked person kicked him up, and said, "Let you kick me." Kuafu shouted: "If you dare to kick me, when I go back tell Brother Chiyou, I will kill you." The leader said: "Don't beat him, we'll take him back to the cave. Let's talk after we understand!" Several people tore and pulled him back to the cave. Kuafu was pushed into the cave, looked around, and kept saying, "This place is not bad! There are stone tables and benches, and it doesn't need a cat's waist, it's very wide!" After finishing speaking, he sat on the stone bench He said, "Is there any meat? I'm hungry. Give me something to eat!" Someone stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said, "Is this where you sit? Get up!" The man at the other end said: "Let him sit there first!" After speaking, he winked at those few people, and whispered, "Tie him up, leaving only his hands, and give him a piece of meat." A few people were very agile, so they tied Kuafu's lower body to the stone bench with ropes.Kuafu looked at them and asked, "What are you going to do?" The human said: "If you want to eat meat, you must be tied up first, otherwise it will be bad for us if you are full!" Kuafu was really hungry, and when he heard that there was meat to eat, he let them tie him up.Someone curled his lips and handed him a piece of cold meat.Kuafu shook his head and looked at a nearby fire and said: "There is a fire there, won't you roast it for me?" The man raised his fist, seeing the leader looking at him, he had no choice but to go over and roast the meat.Kuafu took the food and started to eat, and said to the head, "I think you are a good person." The headman asked, "Where are you from?" Kuafu wiped his mouth and said, "Our place is called Taihaohua tribe. The head of the tribe is Taihao Fuxi, don't you recognize him?" The head man shook his head.Kuafu said: "If you don't know him, then you are not as good as me!" After finishing speaking, he looked very proud. The headman smiled and said, "Why did you come here?" Kuafu said: "I am chasing the sun!" The four asked in surprise at the same time: "Chasing the sun?" Kuafu ignored the gazes of the four people, and talked boastfully: "Chi You and I are bigger than the sky or the earth. Look at how big this land is! He insisted that the sky is big. Shennong said, let me chase the sun, let him search the tree, and I will catch up with you." The sun is the size of the earth, and after checking the trees, it is the size of the sky, so I chased the sun, and I chased and chased, until I reached this mountain, but the day is gone, but it rose on that mountain again, you say, What's the matter?" Kuafu finished speaking and looked, the four people stared at each other, no one understood. The four of them didn't ask any more questions, and Kuafu was also tired, so he slowly fell asleep.Until the next day, those few people did not dare to untie him, for fear of threatening themselves.But still give it to Kuafu.When it was getting dark, Kuafu heard Chi You calling him in a trance, so he yelled.Sure enough, Shennong, Chiyou, and Xingtian came to the entrance of the cave after looking for him.Xing Tian heard Kua Fu's voice, Shen Nong saw the entrance of the cave, and Chi You rushed into the cave first.The four people were also clever, and picked up sticks at the same time.Seeing Kuafu being tied up, Chi You smiled and said, "Kuafu, why don't you chase after the sun?" Kuafu said: "You haven't defeated the four, untie me." Chi You said: "Let me ask you first, is the sky big?" Kuafu said: "The earth is big." Chi You said: "Di Da, why didn't you run away, instead you were caught." Kuafu became anxious, and begged Shennong: "Brother Shennong, quickly let Xingtian untie me, it hurts me to death." Then he said to Xingtian: "Brother, you are my own brother, come and untie me!" Shen Nong said to Xing Tian, "Go quickly." Xing Tian handed the torch to Shen Nong and stepped forward. The four people in the cave saw several people coming in, everyone was taller than them, and their faces showed expressions of fear.Several people held the wooden sticks tightly, their eyes widened.The man at the other end understood what they said, and seeing Xing Tian passing by, he flew high and landed in front of Xing Tian.Xing Tian was not polite, he raised his fist and hit the headman, but the headman let his fist pass, and swung his stick towards Xing Tian's thigh, the wind sounded fierce.Xing Tian rolled back somersaults, dodging the blow of the stick, and at the same time jumped up vigorously, kicking the headman's head with a flying kick.The leader bowed and easily dodged, and the two fought together.Although the leader is short, he is extremely flexible. After a few rounds, there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors. When the other three saw the leader making a move, they huffed and surrounded Shennong and Chi You. Chi You shouted: "Do you want to fight? I will fight four with one." He swung his right arm at one of them.The man resisted with a stick, and the stick broke with a "click".Chi You took advantage of the momentum to strike forward, and the man squatted back and threw it out, then he let out a loud cry, and lay there motionless.Seeing their companions miss, the other two hit Shen Nong with one stick and Chi You with the other.Chi You moved back to Shennong, and the stick was swept away.Chi You swung his left arm to block the falling wooden stick, there was another sound, and the stick broke again.Chi You seized the unbroken end of the stick, and with a strong swing, the person who smashed the stick fell out.The stick sweeper swept towards Chi You again, but Chi You didn't dodge, but clamped the stick with his right arm and thigh, the stick couldn't move, and the man couldn't withdraw the stick, so he let go and fled, Chi You hurriedly chased after a few steps Block the hole. Here Xing Tian and the leader are still fighting hard.Xing Tian is taller and more powerful than the head man, but the head man has a stick and flies around lightly, with more dexterity, the two fought to a draw.Shennong said: "Don't let it go. Is that brother from the Suiren tribe?" Hearing this, the leader flinched and withdrew, "How do you know the name of my clan leader?" When Shennong heard this, he beamed with joy and said, "Since that's the case, don't fight anymore, we are all brothers." Xing Tian and Chi You also stopped.Shennong said: "We are from the Taihao Hua clan in the Chengji period of Weishui River. The patriarch of our clan and the people of the Suiren tribe were originally born in this cave in Jiangshui, Qishan. When I was young, I was still in this cave, and I met your patriarch of the Suiren tribe." What! When we came out this time, we also made a special trip to find out the whereabouts of the Suiren tribe." The head said humanely: "Why haven't I heard from members of the Huofenghuang tribe, nor from the patriarch Suiren, that there is still a Taihao Hua tribe in the world?" Shennong said: "That's not a problem, as long as you bring me to meet your patriarch, we will know." The leader was dubious.Shennong said again: "In terms of fighting, you will definitely fail. How can you beat us? Since you can't beat us, why don't you listen to my advice." Seeing that there were only two people left, the headman thought about it, so he threw his stick and said, "Then it's up to you!" The two sides ceased fighting, and Xing Tian released Kuafu.The headman checked the injuries of the two people who were thrown, and saw that one was bleeding from the head and the other could not move his legs.The leader looked at Chi You sharply and said, "You are a bit too cruel!" Shen Nong stepped forward and bandaged the bleeding man with animal skins. All the injured recovered the next day.Shennong and others followed the other man over the mountains and ridges to the Huofenghuang Suiren tribe.They started east, and when the river blocked their way, they turned south again.After walking for many days, the two sides began not to talk to each other on the way. Later, Kuafu saw that he was always walking but couldn't reach the place, so he asked, "Why is it such a long journey? Where are you leading us?" Shennong said: "Since you want to follow others, don't doubt anything?" After finishing speaking, he turned his face and asked about the Suiren and the Huofenghuang tribe.Shennong saw it and didn't mention it anymore. On the way, I passed some small rivers and many mountains, and saw several small villages, and some people talked to the headman. Shennong knew that the name of this headman was Baifu, and these small villages were managed by him. governed.Chi You and Kuafu were still arguing about the big things.Because there was nothing to do on the road, it was interesting to listen to the two of them talking, which was much better than no one talking, so Shennong no longer hindered them. One day finally arrived at the Fire Phoenix tribe.Shennong saw that the Huofenghuang tribe was bigger than the Taihao tribe Chengji, and the village layout was no less than Chengji, so he secretly admired the Suiren.After passing countless alleys and roads, until it was late, the pine fires of each house were lit up, and there was a large courtyard that was even brighter. There were two guards standing in front of the courtyard, each holding sharp tools such as stone axes and wooden sticks. .It seems that this place is even more magnificent than Cheng Ji's Tongtian Palace in Chenzhou.In this compound, Shennong finally saw Suiren.When Kui Kai saw that hair, he knew that this person was the old man with white beard and white hair he had seen when he was a child.
Farming is seasonal and it's not possible to do something like this every day of the year.Shennong entrusted his mother, Nvdeng, with the work of farming in the Taihao tribe. As for himself, he wanted to find more edible and arable things in nature.He said: "Grandpa, I have an idea, what do you think?" Fuxi said, "Say it!" Shennong said: "I feel that on the earth and in nature, there are not only these kinds of edible and usable things such as millet, millet, sugar beets, and gourds. There must be many more, so I want to search everywhere. Once found, we humans will have a lot of self-cultivated food." Fuxi said: "Your idea is very good. The birth of human beings is a very long development process. Why is this process so long? There are too few people like you who are good at discovering and inventing. People don't walk with four limbs. They walk on two legs, but people also have four limbs. What do the other two hands do? They are used for work and inventions. So, in the past, I said The upright walking of human beings is a major difference between human beings and other animals. In addition to having two hands, human beings also have thoughts, and can think about near and far, past and present, moving and still, and immediate and things in the future. In this regard, others are not doing very well, but you are doing very well. Now that you have a lot of good ideas, let’s try to realize them! However, to go to the vast nature, you You can’t go by yourself, there are many things that can harm and eat people in nature, so let your uncle Ji Bo accompany you!” But Shennong said: "In the Taihao tribe, Uncle Jibo has always been responsible for protecting the tribe. I don't want him to leave the tribe because of me, and his responsibility!" Fu Xi said: "Since that's the case, you should choose some strong people from the tribe who can easily fight wild beasts to go with you!" Shen Nong said: "Grandpa, you have only been at home for a short time. You don't know that there are some new characters in our Taihao. They are no less than my uncle in fighting wild beasts!" Fuxi said: "Really? Who is it?" Shen Nong said: "The most powerful is my brother Chi You, as long as Chi You follows me, I will not be afraid of anything!" Fuxi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "It's too lonely and too dangerous for you two brothers to wander the vast land. Let's do it this way! I'll add two more people to you, and I can rest assured that you four go together. Already!" Shennong asked, "Who is it?" Fuxi said: "They are the two children of a giant I once brought up. They have grown up now, and they are probably no worse than Chi You. I will bring Taihao here in a few days. Let's meet each other!" Sure enough, Fuxi brought two people here. When Shennong saw them, they were very mighty and tall, taller than himself, no less than his brother Chiyou.Shennong asked what their names were, and Fuxi said, "The biggest one is called Kuafu, and the shorter one is called Xingtian. They are also a pair of brothers!" It turned out that Fuxi adopted the descendants of three giants in Kunlun Mountains. Among the three, besides Shaodian and Chitian, there was another giant who stayed with Fuxi on Kunlun Mountain. This giant also had a name, Guangchengzi, Fuxi He also found a woman from the Taihao people and made a couple with him.So the brothers Kuafu and Xingtian were born. Kuafu, Xing Tian stayed with Chi You and Shen Nong for half a day, and they gradually became familiar with each other.Shennong felt that the two were very good, so he prepared to leave early, so he bid farewell to his mother Nudeng and grandmother Nuwa, and waited for Fuxi to come back to say goodbye.Fuxi looked at these four young people who grew up in the Taihao tribe, nodded, and agreed with them to go on the road. Before leaving, Fuxi suddenly remembered something, and said to Shennong Kuikai: "You go out this time, there is one more thing. , do you still remember the old man with white hair, eyebrows and beard?" Shen Nong nodded.Fuxi said: "You have to try to find him, and pass on to him your slash-and-burn technique. In the past, he also taught Taihao the technique of drilling wood to make fire!" The next day, Shennong Kuikui led three tall and strong young men, Chi You, Kuafu, and Xing Tian, to search west along the Yellow River towards Jiangshui.Chi You, Kua Fu, and Xing Tian are all four to six years younger than Jiang Yan, but they are all taller and taller than Jiang Yan. Chi You has thick eyebrows and vertical eyes, a big mouth and long chin, round arms, and a fierce face. They are members of the Taihao tribe. He is an expert animal catcher, and his appearance is similar to that of his father Chi Tian.Kuafu's legs are as long as a tree, his feet are as big as roots, he walks as steady as a pillar, and runs the fastest.Xing Tian has a handsome face, but he is also as strong as a bull. He can run and fight wild animals.Among the four, Kui Kui is gentle and refined.Although Chiyou, Kuafu, and Xingtian are brave, they are taught by their families on weekdays and respect Fuxi the most.Today, Shennong is tall and has a free and easy manner of speaking and demeanor. In addition, he has the titles of child prodigy and Shennong very early, so he is naturally respected.Kuafu and Xing Tian also fought Chi You after they met, knowing that Chi You is powerful and is the brother of Shennong Kui Kui, so they naturally obeyed the words of Wen Yiwu.Chi You and Kuafu held up the torches, and Xing Tian carried some edible items. Shennong said as he walked: "Today, we are ordered by Fuxi, the patriarch of the Taihaohua clan, to stay away from the tribe and go out to find grass and food. The four of us should be one with each other and hug each other. Although we are not compatriots, we can be on a blind date. From now on, we shall be like brothers." The three said: "I am willing to listen to my brother's orders!" Shennong said, "Do you know why you are going this way?" The three shook their heads.Shennong said: "Grandpa sent me to swim between the heaven and the earth. Besides looking for food, there is another thing to say, that is to look for a tribe of Suiren." Kuafu asked, "Who is Suiren?" Shennong said: "Do you know how the fire came from? It was made by the Suiren by drilling wood." When the three of them heard this, they also admired the Suiren very much. The four of them climbed over the high mountain and saw a green shade not far ahead, so Shen Nong entered first.This wild grass slope is full of weeds, high or low, more or less, with different branches and leaves, wide and narrow, long and short.Kui Kui pulled up the vegetation and looked carefully.Chi You wondered: "Brother, there are no hares here, what are you looking for?" Shennong ignored him and continued to observe the roots and take the leaves.He crawled up and down, like a man without legs crawling forward.Chi You and the other three chattered, as if watching a strange scene.Xing Tian said: "Chi You, Kua Fu, what do you say this fire is?" Kuafu said, "It's something to keep warm." Chi You said: "No, it's a barbecue." Kuafu said: "Why is it wrong? In winter, it is used to burn the kang, and the clansmen surround it to keep warm." Chi You said: "Isn't that still a barbecue? Isn't burning a kang a fire? Isn't heating a fire?" Kuafu said: "You are cheating! When I say warming, I mean warming the body. When you say barbecue, it means cooking cooked food." Chi You said: "It's barbecue, it's barbecue." Seeing Chi You shouting, Kuafu threw the torch at Chi You in a panic, Chi You dodged the flames and rushed towards Kuafu.Kuafu ran away, but Chi You couldn't catch up.Kuafu was still shouting, "Didn't you say barbecue? I'll just burn you." While chasing, Chi You yelled, "I can't catch up now, I'll kill you when I get back." When Shennong Kuikui saw it, he stood up and shouted, "Kuafu, go back and pick up the fire, don't you know what is the use of fire?" Xing Tian said: "They were arguing over the fire!" Kui Kui said: "Fire can be used for grilling, keeping warm, lighting, and driving away wild animals. If the fire is not careful, it will burn down the mountains and forests! But it can also be used for burning pottery and slash-and-burn cultivation. Useful, although we can also make fire, it is more convenient to hold a torch!" After Chi You heard this, he stopped chasing him, Kuafu also picked up the fire, Xing Tian clapped his hands and said, "Brother Shen Nong is right and correct!" Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Shennong returned to the grass. Xing Tian looked at the sky and asked: "Do you think the sky is big or the earth is big?" Chi You said: "The sky is big." Kuafu said: "The earth is big." Chi You said: "When I say the sky is big, the sky is big. Why do you say that the earth is big? Didn't you quarrel with me?" Kuafu said: "The earth is originally big. Look at the sky, it is supported by the earth. You say the sky is big, go to the sky, don't stand on the ground." Chi You said: "This earth is not your property, why do you let me go to the sky?" After saying that, he put down the fire, raised his fist and said to Kuafu, "Just with these fists, the sky is too big." The two fought again, and Kuafu ran quickly.Xing Tian yelled, told Shen Nong Kui Kui, and said to Shen Nong: "The two of them don't know whether the sky is big or the earth is big, you tell them!" Shennong Kuikui called them back again and said: "I don't know how big the sky is and the earth is big. I only heard that Fuxi, the patriarch of Taihao, said that the sky is round and the earth is round, but who knows which is bigger, the round thing or the square thing? So Let's do it, since Kuafu said the land is big, the day is not far away, look at the sun in the sky, can you catch it?" Kuafu said: "If you can see it, it is not far away. How difficult is it!" Shennong said: "If you can catch up with the sun, the earth is big. Chi You, you say the sky is big, can you count the trees growing on this earth? If you can count them clearly, then the sky is big. " Chi You looked around the mountains and forests and saw that there were only a few green shades on the ground, so he said, "I can! It's so easy for such a small thing!" Shennong Kuikui said: "Okay, then go chase the sun and count the trees. If you catch it, you're done counting. Come back here. Xing Tian and I will wait." Kuafu handed the torch to Xingtian, and ran towards the direction of the sun.Chi You ran to a place where there were forests and trees.Shen Nong looked at Xing Tian and said, "Right and wrong come out of your mouth, so do you think the sky is big or the earth is big?" But Xing Tian smiled and said: "I know what is the use of the sky and the earth, I just want to know who is more powerful, this Kuafu or Chi You." Shennong Kuikui snorted and said, "Who is the best? I think you are the most powerful. Both of them have been hurt by you!" After speaking, he ignored him and walked towards a shady slope. Shennong had just entered the shady slope not far away when a cluster of tender green grass came into his eyes. He stepped forward, bent and scraped away the soil around the grass, and saw that there was an unrotten peel at the root of each grass.So he followed the shady slope and found several nurseries.In these few grass seedlings, there are fruit-like things hanging on the top of the grass seedlings.Kui Kai thought about it, and he felt that these grass seedlings must be transformed from the fruits of the grass seedlings. When they grow up, they turn into grass again and bear fruits.And this kind of grass is everywhere, and it is inexhaustible. If you can distinguish which kind of fruit is edible and which kind of fruit is not edible, and then plant the edible fruit on the ground like slash-and-burn farming, let it Germination, flowering, and fruiting, don't people have another kind of food? Thinking of this, Kui Kai was in high spirits, so he took the object again and put it in his mouth, chewing on the taste. When Xing Tian saw it, he shouted: "Brother Shennong, are you crazy?" Although Shennong felt it was bitter and astringent, he was happy in his heart, and said to Xing Tian, "You should try it too!" Xing Tian avoided it and said: "I can't do it, I'm not crazy, I can't do it!" Chi You first found the forest closest to Shennong, and counted them one by one.He counted one, two, three, four, five, but when he reached ten he couldn't figure out how to count.He scratched his head with his hands, but he couldn't figure out what the next ten would be.Such a large tree with thick roots and lush leaves was placed in front of Chi You, Chi You was like a fool, he didn't know how to find out the tree.Only now did he regret that he didn't listen to his mother and daughter about counting when he was at home.From childhood to adulthood, he didn't care about anything, but was willing to fight. Among Taihao's teenagers, no one was his opponent. Naturally, he got a lot of advice from his father Chi Tian and uncle Ji Bo, but the patriarch's family didn't allow it. As a bully, grandma and Nuwa said a lot about him, and she didn't know how many times she was reprimanded by her mother and Nvdeng for this. Grandpa Fuxi didn't like him as much as Shennong because of this.But he always refuses to change after repeated admonitions, and he doesn't make much improvement in other aspects.But Chi You would never admit defeat, he counted another ten after counting ten, but he didn't know how to count after counting nine tens, seeing that there were still many trees.Chi You couldn't do it anymore, so he took a few branches, opened them forcefully, and shouted: "Why are there so many trees, such damned trees, such damned trees! The sky is big, the sky is big, and the sky is big!" Kuafu ran and ran, but the sun was always against him in the sky not far away, and he was not in a hurry.Kuafu was so tired that he was sweating, hot and thirsty.He went to the Yellow River to drink water, and after drinking, he chased after him.After noon, the sun seemed to be getting faster and faster. Even though it had no legs to move, Kuafu was like the wind, but it couldn't be chased away.Kuafu yelled: "Rito, Rito, wait for me." Rito didn't listen or answer, and jumped over the ginger water.Although Kuafu is tall and has long legs, the Jiangshui River is not narrow, and the waves are rough and deep.I had to climb up the mountain again and walk through the woods.Seeing that there are many forests here and on the other side of Jiangshui, one after another, he became happy and laughed loudly: "Chi You, Chi You, count it, I think you can count it?" Of course Chi You couldn't count them all. Seeing Shen Nong and Xing Tian crawling on the grass in the distance, he chased after them.Shen Nong said: "Chi You, you finished the investigation so quickly?" Chi You said: "After I checked, there are nine tens, so I don't know how to count." Shennong said, "That means the earth is bigger than the sky?" Chi You said: "No, it's still big." Shennong smiled and said, "Aren't you playing tricks? If Kuafu catches up with the sun, you will lose." Chi You scratched his head with his hands and said, "Brother, you are biased! You should be biased towards me, we were born by the same mother, but how can you be biased against Kuafu?" Shennong asked, "Why do I favor Kuafu?" Chi You said: "You asked Kuafu to chase the sun for one day, but you asked me to count so many trees on the ground." Shennong said: "It seems to make sense! Well, I won't let you count the trees, I will let you check the forest piece by piece, can you check it?" Chi You smiled and said, "That's amazing, I can check it out right here, you see, one, two, three... isn't there a total of eight forests!" Shennong said: "How can these eight forests be said to be all the forests on the earth? I mean, as long as there are patches of forests on the ground, you have to check. If you don't believe me, look behind the mountain, there must be forests what!" Shennong pointed to the mountain where Kuafu ran.Chi You ran up the mountain, and sure enough, there were many forests behind the mountain, one after another.He stood on the mountain and counted the woods again. When Shennong and Xingtian came to the top of the mountain, the sun had already set on the distant mountain.Chi You shouted: "I found out, there are ten forests here, and there are six forests." Shennong said: "It should be called sixteen forests. The numbering method of counting forests is ten after nine, six after ten, so it is called six after ten, twenty after nine, and eight more forests." , That is, twenty has eight, and so on. Thirty, thirty has three, forty, forty has four, fifty, fifty has five, this number is the number of heaven and earth that grandpa said, that is, the river The number of pictures! In the future there will be sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, ninety with nine, one hundred, one hundred with one, one hundred with fifty, two hundred, three hundred, nine hundred, and then a thousand , and then ten thousand. Chiyou, Xingtian, do you understand? Chashu and Chalinzi, you must first know how to count, you can’t even count, how can you find out how many forests there are! Chiyou, when I was young, my uncle I gave you the method of counting, but you think it is useless, so you don’t listen, you regret it this time!” Chi You glanced at Nong and nodded, as if he understood. Shen Nong turned to Xing Tian and said, "Xing Tian, you lived with my grandfather on the Kunlun Mountains since you were young, so why don't you know how to count?" Xing Tian pursed his lips and said, "We say we are on Kunlun Mountain, but we live at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and rarely see the patriarch. My father follows the patriarch every day. He rarely comes back, and he doesn't teach Us!" Shennong listened and shook his head. They looked for Kuafu again, but there was no one there.Shennong looked at the mountain road in the distance: "It's over, Kuafu is gone, what will he do if he encounters a wild beast?" Xing Tian said: "Don't be afraid, Kuafu's legs are fast, wild animals can't catch up with him." Chi You said: "I can finally count, I'll go to the mountain to see if there are any trees!" Shennong said: "No need, you can find out wherever we go, if you can find out, you are fine. Let's go to the top of the mountain and find Kuafu!" Chi You and Xing Tian saw that Shen Nong was in a hurry, so they stopped talking and climbed to the top of the mountain with him. When we reached the top of the mountain, the sun disappeared and the sky darkened.All over the mountains and plains are the voices of Shennong Kuikui, Chi You, and Xing Tian shouting "Kua Fu".But never hear back.The three of them were also tired, so Shen Nong asked Xing Tian to light a fire.I hope Kuafu can find it when he sees it. Kuafu was no longer on this mountain at this time, but climbed over two mountains and chased to the top of another mountain.Kuafu chased and chased, and when he was exhausted, he was also tired when he saw the sun, and he slowly descended to the top of the mountain. He became excited again, and ran up the mountain desperately despite the thorns cutting his body.This mountain is the Qishan Mountains.The cave where Fuxi and Nuwa lived in the past is under this mountain.Qishan Mountains are criss-crossed, with continuous ups and downs. When Kuafu climbed to the top of the mountain, the sun has already been covered by the main peak of Qishan Mountain. Where would he find it.Kuafu searched and searched, but when he couldn't see the sun, he burst into tears. Kuafu failed to catch up with the sun, was extremely frustrated, tired and hungry, and finally remembered that he had left Shennong and others for a day, and he had brought neither a torch nor food.It was far away from the river, and it was extremely inconvenient to fish in the river at night, so he wanted to hunt a hare or something for food.Kuafu looked left and right, and suddenly saw a very round and bright mountain on the opposite side. One day, the sun rose, and Kuafu was shocked. He didn't know that the sun was the fire that Shennong and others ignited. The head clearly fell on this mountain, but why did it rise on that mountain again?He carefully observed that the sun did not leave the mountain, and thought that even though he was hungry and tired, he could not lose to Chi You, so he got up, turned back down the mountain, and ran towards the mountain with the sun. As soon as Kuafu arrived at the bottom of the mountain, in a trance, he saw something hiding behind a tree, so he looked at it carefully. It turned out that the thing was also a person with his upper body exposed, smaller than himself, looking around.Kuafu was astonished, why are there still people in this deep mountain?Then he shouted: "Who are you, why don't you dare to come out?" The man didn't listen, turned around and ran away.Kuafu flew up and chased after him.Although that man was fast, how could he run past Kuafu?Seeing that he was about to catch up, the man turned around a bush and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Kuafu searched left and right, but he couldn't find the person. He was puzzled, but saw a hole in the rock a few steps away. He thought, that person must have got into the hole, and without thinking much, he strode over and bent down. Just go in, but he is too tall, and he has to lower his body to get in, so it is very difficult to enter the hole.He lowered his body vigorously, but before he could get in, he felt the sound of wind blowing towards his ears. Kuafu yelled: "No!" Two people, and two others also showed their heads.These four people were all holding wooden sticks and had fierce faces, one of them was the one that Kuafu was chasing.There was a man who seemed to be a big man, and he was very surprised when he saw the tall Kuafu. He looked around and shouted, "Are you human? Where did you come from?" Kuafu was not cowardly, he smiled and said, "I am not a human being, what am I? You people are so strange, why are you hiding in the cave?" His voice was extremely loud. The man said: "Since you are human, why don't you look like us, such a tall man?" Kuafu grinned again and said, "If you ask me, whoever I ask, I was born taller than others!" , looked back and forth at these people and said, "Why haven't I seen you? Are you also from Taihao? Why did you hit me with a wooden stick as soon as we met! Could it be that you are as unreasonable assholes like Chi You?" The man rolled his eyes a few times, as if he understood Kuafu's words, he said to his accomplices: "This big man is dishonest, he seems to be scolding us! I'll find a way to catch him and hand him over to the old patriarch, how about it? "The other three nodded. Kuafu understood what he heard, and said: "Patriarch? You mean Fuxi from the Taihaohua clan? You don't need to catch him, I recognize him." One person heard it, half-understood and said: "Taihao, Fuxi, what are they!" Kuafu yelled: "You dare to scold the patriarch, don't you want to live?" Before finishing speaking, he flew his long legs and kicked the speaker.Kuafu was originally far away from those people, but his legs were extremely long and he was tall. The person between his outstretched legs was too late to dodge. He was kicked in the chest by Kuafu, and he staggered and fell backwards.Seeing their companions being kicked, the other three were very angry. They couldn't help but wave the three sticks at Kuafu together, but their arms and the stick could only reach Kuafu's chest.But these people were very dexterous and moved quickly. Seeing that they couldn't reach Kuafu's head, they all slammed on Kuafu's legs.Kuafu couldn't resist, so he turned around and ran away.But there are many trees here, not as open as the field, he is tall and has long legs, it is not easy to avoid the trees, and he has not eaten for a day, so he is out of breath after running not far.Looking back, there were three people chasing after him.Kuafu turned his head and ran again, but saw a person falling from the tree in front of him. Although he was holding a wooden stick, he was still as light as an ape. It was the leader.Kuafu's legs went limp, and he said, "I'm not running away, you guys want to catch me, just catch me, you catch me!" After finishing speaking, he actually sat on a big rock.Sitting there, he could still catch up with these few people.Two people from behind rushed forward and grabbed his arms, and the kicked person kicked him up, and said, "Let you kick me." Kuafu shouted: "If you dare to kick me, when I go back tell Brother Chiyou, I will kill you." The leader said: "Don't beat him, we'll take him back to the cave. Let's talk after we understand!" Several people tore and pulled him back to the cave. Kuafu was pushed into the cave, looked around, and kept saying, "This place is not bad! There are stone tables and benches, and it doesn't need a cat's waist, it's very wide!" After finishing speaking, he sat on the stone bench He said, "Is there any meat? I'm hungry. Give me something to eat!" Someone stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said, "Is this where you sit? Get up!" The man at the other end said: "Let him sit there first!" After speaking, he winked at those few people, and whispered, "Tie him up, leaving only his hands, and give him a piece of meat." A few people were very agile, so they tied Kuafu's lower body to the stone bench with ropes.Kuafu looked at them and asked, "What are you going to do?" The human said: "If you want to eat meat, you must be tied up first, otherwise it will be bad for us if you are full!" Kuafu was really hungry, and when he heard that there was meat to eat, he let them tie him up.Someone curled his lips and handed him a piece of cold meat.Kuafu shook his head and looked at a nearby fire and said: "There is a fire there, won't you roast it for me?" The man raised his fist, seeing the leader looking at him, he had no choice but to go over and roast the meat.Kuafu took the food and started to eat, and said to the head, "I think you are a good person." The headman asked, "Where are you from?" Kuafu wiped his mouth and said, "Our place is called Taihaohua tribe. The head of the tribe is Taihao Fuxi, don't you recognize him?" The head man shook his head.Kuafu said: "If you don't know him, then you are not as good as me!" After finishing speaking, he looked very proud. The headman smiled and said, "Why did you come here?" Kuafu said: "I am chasing the sun!" The four asked in surprise at the same time: "Chasing the sun?" Kuafu ignored the gazes of the four people, and talked boastfully: "Chi You and I are bigger than the sky or the earth. Look at how big this land is! He insisted that the sky is big. Shennong said, let me chase the sun, let him search the tree, and I will catch up with you." The sun is the size of the earth, and after checking the trees, it is the size of the sky, so I chased the sun, and I chased and chased, until I reached this mountain, but the day is gone, but it rose on that mountain again, you say, What's the matter?" Kuafu finished speaking and looked, the four people stared at each other, no one understood. The four of them didn't ask any more questions, and Kuafu was also tired, so he slowly fell asleep.Until the next day, those few people did not dare to untie him, for fear of threatening themselves.But still give it to Kuafu.When it was getting dark, Kuafu heard Chi You calling him in a trance, so he yelled.Sure enough, Shennong, Chiyou, and Xingtian came to the entrance of the cave after looking for him.Xing Tian heard Kua Fu's voice, Shen Nong saw the entrance of the cave, and Chi You rushed into the cave first.The four people were also clever, and picked up sticks at the same time.Seeing Kuafu being tied up, Chi You smiled and said, "Kuafu, why don't you chase after the sun?" Kuafu said: "You haven't defeated the four, untie me." Chi You said: "Let me ask you first, is the sky big?" Kuafu said: "The earth is big." Chi You said: "Di Da, why didn't you run away, instead you were caught." Kuafu became anxious, and begged Shennong: "Brother Shennong, quickly let Xingtian untie me, it hurts me to death." Then he said to Xingtian: "Brother, you are my own brother, come and untie me!" Shen Nong said to Xing Tian, "Go quickly." Xing Tian handed the torch to Shen Nong and stepped forward. The four people in the cave saw several people coming in, everyone was taller than them, and their faces showed expressions of fear.Several people held the wooden sticks tightly, their eyes widened.The man at the other end understood what they said, and seeing Xing Tian passing by, he flew high and landed in front of Xing Tian.Xing Tian was not polite, he raised his fist and hit the headman, but the headman let his fist pass, and swung his stick towards Xing Tian's thigh, the wind sounded fierce.Xing Tian rolled back somersaults, dodging the blow of the stick, and at the same time jumped up vigorously, kicking the headman's head with a flying kick.The leader bowed and easily dodged, and the two fought together.Although the leader is short, he is extremely flexible. After a few rounds, there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors. When the other three saw the leader making a move, they huffed and surrounded Shennong and Chi You. Chi You shouted: "Do you want to fight? I will fight four with one." He swung his right arm at one of them.The man resisted with a stick, and the stick broke with a "click".Chi You took advantage of the momentum to strike forward, and the man squatted back and threw it out, then he let out a loud cry, and lay there motionless.Seeing their companions miss, the other two hit Shen Nong with one stick and Chi You with the other.Chi You moved back to Shennong, and the stick was swept away.Chi You swung his left arm to block the falling wooden stick, there was another sound, and the stick broke again.Chi You seized the unbroken end of the stick, and with a strong swing, the person who smashed the stick fell out.The stick sweeper swept towards Chi You again, but Chi You didn't dodge, but clamped the stick with his right arm and thigh, the stick couldn't move, and the man couldn't withdraw the stick, so he let go and fled, Chi You hurriedly chased after a few steps Block the hole. Here Xing Tian and the leader are still fighting hard.Xing Tian is taller and more powerful than the head man, but the head man has a stick and flies around lightly, with more dexterity, the two fought to a draw.Shennong said: "Don't let it go. Is that brother from the Suiren tribe?" Hearing this, the leader flinched and withdrew, "How do you know the name of my clan leader?" When Shennong heard this, he beamed with joy and said, "Since that's the case, don't fight anymore, we are all brothers." Xing Tian and Chi You also stopped.Shennong said: "We are from the Taihao Hua clan in the Chengji period of Weishui River. The patriarch of our clan and the people of the Suiren tribe were originally born in this cave in Jiangshui, Qishan. When I was young, I was still in this cave, and I met your patriarch of the Suiren tribe." What! When we came out this time, we also made a special trip to find out the whereabouts of the Suiren tribe." The head said humanely: "Why haven't I heard from members of the Huofenghuang tribe, nor from the patriarch Suiren, that there is still a Taihao Hua tribe in the world?" Shennong said: "That's not a problem, as long as you bring me to meet your patriarch, we will know." The leader was dubious.Shennong said again: "In terms of fighting, you will definitely fail. How can you beat us? Since you can't beat us, why don't you listen to my advice." Seeing that there were only two people left, the headman thought about it, so he threw his stick and said, "Then it's up to you!" The two sides ceased fighting, and Xing Tian released Kuafu.The headman checked the injuries of the two people who were thrown, and saw that one was bleeding from the head and the other could not move his legs.The leader looked at Chi You sharply and said, "You are a bit too cruel!" Shen Nong stepped forward and bandaged the bleeding man with animal skins. All the injured recovered the next day.Shennong and others followed the other man over the mountains and ridges to the Huofenghuang Suiren tribe.They started east, and when the river blocked their way, they turned south again.After walking for many days, the two sides began not to talk to each other on the way. Later, Kuafu saw that he was always walking but couldn't reach the place, so he asked, "Why is it such a long journey? Where are you leading us?" Shennong said: "Since you want to follow others, don't doubt anything?" After finishing speaking, he turned his face and asked about the Suiren and the Huofenghuang tribe.Shennong saw it and didn't mention it anymore. On the way, I passed some small rivers and many mountains, and saw several small villages, and some people talked to the headman. Shennong knew that the name of this headman was Baifu, and these small villages were managed by him. governed.Chi You and Kuafu were still arguing about the big things.Because there was nothing to do on the road, it was interesting to listen to the two of them talking, which was much better than no one talking, so Shennong no longer hindered them. One day finally arrived at the Fire Phoenix tribe.Shennong saw that the Huofenghuang tribe was bigger than the Taihao tribe Chengji, and the village layout was no less than Chengji, so he secretly admired the Suiren.After passing countless alleys and roads, until it was late, the pine fires of each house were lit up, and there was a large courtyard that was even brighter. There were two guards standing in front of the courtyard, each holding sharp tools such as stone axes and wooden sticks. .It seems that this place is even more magnificent than Cheng Ji's Tongtian Palace in Chenzhou.In this compound, Shennong finally saw Suiren.When Kui Kai saw that hair, he knew that this person was the old man with white beard and white hair he had seen when he was a child.
