Chapter 530 2 Zodiac 1
The original owner had very few memories before the age of 6. He just ate, slept and played every day. There was nothing special.
This year, the original owner met a little brother named Warrior, who lived in the mountains. Warrior had twelve little animals around him: a clever mouse, a powerful bull, a white-browed tiger, a long-legged rabbit, a flat-nosed dragon, a green snake, a snow-white horse, a sword-horned sheep, a red-faced monkey, a colorful chicken, a flower-tailed dog, and a big-eared pig.
The warrior brother lived alone on the top of a mountain without parents. But he was not alone because he had twelve little animals with him.
The original owner loved her warrior brother and the twelve little animals very much. She would often sneak up the mountain to play with them. Spring passed, autumn came, and a year quickly passed. The original owner was now seven years old.
Once, she, her warrior brother, and twelve small animals were playing by the river when they were suddenly swept away by a gust of wind and fell into a gloomy mountain. They heard noises coming from a cave, quietly pushed open the stone door, and saw twelve ferocious monsters plotting against humans.
The twelve ferocious monsters are the Thunderbolt Monster, the One-Horned Monster, the Black Wind Lady, the Snoring Monster, the Shark Monster, the Nine-Headed Monster, the Green-Skinned Ghost, the Chaos Monster, the Long-Clawed King, the Three-Eyed Banshee, the Red-Haired Monster, and the Cold-Blooded Princess.
The monster heard the prophecy about humans and also saw the future world, where there were tall buildings, airplanes and cars. Humans used their clever brains to build many things. There were no monsters there, and all the monsters disappeared.
Although the twelve monsters wanted to deal with humans, they were not on the same page. After a quarrel, the twelve monsters decided that each monster would rule for one year and find a way to deal with humans.
After hearing this, the original owner, the warrior brother, and the twelve little animals quickly left the monster cave and returned to the warrior brother's home. They brainstormed how to stop the monster from harming humans.
The twelve monsters were very powerful and it was not easy to deal with them. After 12 years, although the twelve monsters were eliminated, the twelve small animals also died.
The original owner was very sad. First, his twelve good friends died, and second, humans were unaware of their sacrifices.
The original owner later married the warrior brother. Perhaps because she had suffered too many injuries, they never had children.
"Memory transfer complete. The original owner has three wishes. First: If given the chance, save the twelve little animals. Second: let humans know the sacrifices made by the twelve little animals. Third: have three children with my warrior brother."
"Tongtong, the original owner was still very young at that time. She knew she didn't have that much ability, so she didn't force herself to complete the first mission. However, she still hoped that if she had the chance, she could save twelve small animals. Therefore, she didn't force herself to complete the first main mission. She could save as many as she could. The second and third main missions must be completed."
"Okay, I understand. What is the side quest?"
"The side mission is to make the twelve little animals into the Chinese zodiac so that people can commemorate them."
"Xiao 9, is this the big world or the small world?"
“Tongtong, this is a small world.”
"okay, got it."
Zhang Xintong got up, put on her shoes, and skipped outside. The original owner was usually like this, with a childish temper that could not be changed for a while.
The woman in the vegetable garden was weeding. When she saw Zhang Xintong coming out, she waved to her.
"Tongtong, you've woken up. Are you hungry?"
Zhang Xintong shook her head. This woman was the original owner's mother, Shimei. She had a beautiful face, full breasts, a slender waist, and long legs. She was really beautiful!
"Mom, I'm not hungry."
"Then go and play by yourself! Mom will finish pulling out these weeds."
"Mother, where is Father?"
“He went to the mountains to chop wood.”
"Then I'll go find my father."
Zhang Xintong finished speaking and ran towards the mountain behind the village with her short legs.
"Tongtong, run slower and come back soon."
"Ok"
The children here are all like this, running around and making noise every day, they won’t stay at home, and the adults won’t keep a close eye on them.
Zhang Xintong jogged all the way and could not climb any further until she reached the mountainside. The original owner was only 6 years old and her body was too weak.
Just then, a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old came over surrounded by a group of animals.
"Where are you going, little sister?"
Zhang Xintong's soul was trembling. Her warrior brother had arrived. The man opposite her had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, thick lips, a square face, and was about 1 meters tall (at this time, the height of humans was about 75 meters for men. A man as tall as the warrior was considered tall).
Warriors look righteous, not handsome, but this look was very popular in ancient times. Beautiful women like Shimei were not considered good-looking in this era and were not popular. Women with strong bodies, big hips, and good fertility were preferred here.
Zhang Xintong felt aggrieved
"I want to go to the top of the mountain to find my father, but I can't walk anymore."
Strong Bull: "Warrior, let her sit on my back and I will carry her."
Snow-white horse: "You can put it on my back, this little girl is so cute."
The warrior picked up Zhang Xintong and put her on his shoulders, without any help from the little animal.
"Brother will hold you, okay?"
Zhang Xintong sat on the warrior's shoulders and hugged his neck.
"it is good!"
Two people and twelve little animals walked towards the mountain together. Along the way, the twelve little animals were not idle. They chatted and chirped, which was very lively.
Zhang Xintong put her arms around the warrior's neck and asked affectionately:
"Brother, what's your name?"
The warrior was not tired at all. He had to climb the mountain every day and was already used to it.
"My name is Warrior, what's yours?"
"Brother Warrior, my name is Tongtong. Can I often come to play with you and the animals in the future?"
"Yes, but I'm rarely home during the day. I have to go out to find food and chop wood."
"Mom grows a lot of vegetables, so we have food at home. If you don't have any, I'll bring it to you."
The warrior smiled. He had been without parents since he was little and depended on small animals for survival. Now that he had grown up, his family was poor and he didn't even have a companion. He didn't expect that this little sister liked him so much and was even willing to give him food.
"No, I have food at home."
They soon reached the mountain, but did not see the original owner's father Rushong. Zhang Xintong was not looking for him, but she had to pretend at this time.
"Brother Warrior, my father is not here. Can I go to your house and wait for him?"
Yongshi's little house was at the top of the mountain, and he carried Zhang Xintong back home. The animals had gone to rest, leaving only Yongshi and Zhang Xintong at home.
Zhang Xintong looked around and found it was the same as she remembered: a stone house with wooden windows, a living room and a cooking room.
The layout of the house is the same as that of the original owner's house, but the original owner's house is bigger and the warrior's house is smaller.
There was not much food at the warrior's house. He didn't know how to farm, so he worked with the little animals to collect food.
The food culture of ancient times was rich and colorful, covering a wide variety of foods.
The five grains in ancient times mainly included millet, sorghum (millet), wheat (barley and wheat), beans (beans), and hemp (hemp seeds). These grains were the main staple crops of the time.
Meat: The ancient Chinese diet also included various meats, such as pheasant and wild boar. Peng Zu's "world's best soup"—pheasant soup (made from pheasant and millet)—was a famous dish at the time.
Vegetables and fruits: Shennong was the pioneer of Chinese agriculture. He invented the plow, taught people how to farm, and promoted the cultivation of vegetables and fruits.
