Chapter 41: The Feast
Night.
The Silver Moon and the Blood Moon rose above the sky at the same time, casting a glow across the vast land.
These two moons, which represent luck and calamity, have been silently accompanying the world for hundreds of millions of years.
Countless legends of love and killing each other have been left in the world.
The moonlight like water also shines on the mountain villages in the valley.
In the large square inside the wall, piles of bonfires are being erected, and the roaring firelight illuminates all directions.
It also reflects the black and red faces!
The campfire in the middle was the largest, with a stripped bull perched on it.
It is scorching under the heat of the flames.
Two fierce mountain giants work together to flip the grill to keep the beef evenly heated.
The air is filled with the smell of firewood and barbecue.
More than 700 members of the mountain tribe gathered here, laughing and laughing.
For these giants, such a feast is rare.
It is usually only held during the New Year's festival and when the caravans arrive.
Gao Jing had lived in the village for a while, and it was the first time he had participated.
And this tribal feast was held for him!
"The people of the mountains..."
The voice of the old wizard Shan Yan resounded in the square, and it reached everyone's ears with great clarity.
The mountain giants immediately fell silent.
Everyone looked at the old wizard who came to the big bonfire with respectful eyes.
Leader of the clan!
The old wizard looked around with a wooden staff in his hand and said in a deep voice, "At tonight's clan meeting, we welcome the return of a friend. ”
Shan Guo'er, who was standing beside him, raised his arms and held Gao Jing standing on top of his palms high!
In fact, for such a public "display", Gao Jing refused.
Shame on you?
However, this is part of the tribal banquet ceremony, who made him a "villain"!
The eyes from the surroundings focused on Gao Jing's body.
There are curious, there are surprised, and there are doubtful.
The existence of Gao Jing is not a secret to the mountain tribe.
Almost all the villagers know that the mountain tiger picked up an "ancient relic" when he was out hunting.
When Shan Guo'er carried him around the village, many people had seen him.
It's just that everyone doesn't know why the old wizard held the clan meeting so solemnly.
Welcome back to Gaojing!
"This friend's name is Gao Jing, and he is an ancient relict from the abyss. ”
The old wizard continued, "I want to tell you that Gao Jing has brought the most precious salt to our tribe. ”
As he spoke, he held up the clay pot he was holding in his left hand: "A whole jar of the best salt!"
"Uha!"
The mountain giants immediately let out an earth-shattering cheer.
Many of them punched their chests, their bronzed faces showing excitement and joy.
For all the wilderness tribes that live in the wilderness, salt is the most important living substance.
If salt is not replenished for a long time, the toughest warriors will become weak soft-footed shrimps.
In order to be able to exchange salt stone from the caravan, the tribal warriors need to take great risks to hunt the ferocious beasts.
So although Gao Jing looked so weak, he brought precious salt to the mountain tribe.
That's the friends of the clan!
For friends, giants never hesitate to give sincerely.
Everyone looked at Gao Jing with a little more sincere gratitude and friendliness.
Gao Jing smiled.
But at this time, he was very puzzled in his heart, and a little depressed.
Because the copper anchor doesn't react at all.
The gratitude of the mountain giants to him did not bring a trace of faith to the copper anchor!
That's a bit weird.
Could it be that the copper anchor cannot absorb the power of faith in the big world? Or is it because he is not an aborigine?
Gao Jing was puzzled.
I feel like I've lost 100 million!
He couldn't help but touch the copper anchor that hung close to his chest.
The old wizard put down the pot, waved his staff, and said, "Begin to celebrate, my people!"
"Uha!"
The cheers were accompanied by the sound of war drums of "Dong Dong Dong" at the same time!
Several old giants sat cross-legged on the ground, rhythmically beating the animal skin drum in front of them with their large, thin hands.
Bands of strong giant warriors stepped forward and danced around the campfire.
They stepped on fierce drums and sang old songs, pushing the atmosphere in the square to a climax.
Gao Jing sat beside the old wizard with Shan Guo'er, enjoying the singing and dancing of the giants.
Their dances are full of primitive charm, strong and powerful movements, glaring, sticking out their tongues, and flapping their limbs, showing the strong physique of the warriors, as well as the fearlessness and bravery of the battle.
In Gao Jing's eyes, these giants are like moving mountains, majestic and indestructible!
The songs they sang were ancient and majestic, as if they had come from a long time ago in the wilderness.
Gao Jing could barely understand the gist of the lyrics.
The giants are using songs to remember the ancestors of the Great Wilderness Terran who stole fire and hunted, and praised their bravery.
At the same time, pray for the protection of our ancestors!
Unconsciously, Gao Jing was infected by the scene and singing in front of him.
He high-fived himself to the beat of the war drums, and a feeling of indescribability grew in his heart.
Let the blood boil gradually!
It wasn't until a giant village woman in sackcloth approached that Gao Jing came back to his senses.
The village woman held a large clay pot in both hands and placed it respectfully in front of the old wizard.
The clay pot contains a sauce made of unknown things, and it gives off a strong pickled smell.
The old wizard reached into the clay pot beside him, grabbed a large handful of coarse salt and sprinkled it in the pot.
The Giant Village Woman carefully re-picked up the pot and sent it to the tribal warrior in charge of the barbecue.
The tribal warriors stirred a few times with a mane brush, and then evenly applied the salted sauce to the cow's body.
The charcoal-grilled beef is even more tempting!
After a few moments, another giant warrior sliced slices of fragrant roast meat with a long bone dagger.
The fattest part of it was first given to the old wizard and Gao Jing.
But the old wizard didn't eat it himself, but handed it to Shanguo'er.
He rubbed the little girl's head and said lovingly, "You can eat first." ”
"Hmm. ”
The mountain fruit, which was already salivating, reached out and grabbed the barbecue and couldn't wait to send it to his mouth.
Hiss ~ hot mouth .jpg!
"It's delicious!"
Seeing her gobbling up, Gao Jing couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He pulled out the dagger he had with him and cut off a slice of roast meat that was placed in front of him.
Woohoo!
The beef is grilled just right, the skin is crispy and not scorched, and the inner layer is very juicy.
Gao Jing opened his mouth and took a big bite.
The two different textures and flavors collided and fused with each other on his tongue, so strong and delicious that the taste buds bloomed instantly, and immediately awakened the most primitive human thirst for meat!
The sauce spread on the outer layer of the roast meat is excellent at eliminating the fishy smell of the beef itself and adding a fruitwood-like aroma.
The only fly in the ointment is that there is a bit less salt.
This was easy to solve, and he reached into his pocket, but in fact pulled out the salt shaker from the storage space.
Sprinkle some on the roast.
Grilled meat with salt added to it tastes even better.
Gao Jing ate at least two catties in one go, feeling extremely satisfied.
At this time, the old wizard opened a round jar.
"Come and try our mountain ape wine here. ”
He scooped a little wine out of the jar with a wooden spoon and poured it into a wooden bowl specially prepared for Gao Jing.
This wooden bowl has a diameter of more than half a meter, which is comparable to the largest sea bowl.
The old wizard poured down at least a few catties of wine from this spoonful.
The wine is green, floating with a little ant-like lees, and a rich fruity aroma comes to the nose!
Gao Jing is not a good drinker, and he can't help but move his index finger when he smells it.
The little girl sitting next to her looked at it with a blank eye, biting her fingers and looking very greedy.
But she was clearly not old enough to drink.
Gao Jing picked up the wooden bowl with both hands and brought it to his mouth to taste it.
The wine is sweet and has an excellent taste, mellow and fruity layers, although the wine residue is a little minus, but after drinking, the lips and teeth are fragrant, making people feel like they are about to fly.
"Good wine!"
He couldn't help but sigh in admiration and took another big sip.
The more you drink, the more fragrant it becomes, and the aftertaste is endless!
So with fragrant barbecue and sweet fruit wine, Gao Jing didn't feel a little drunk.
His whole body was completely relaxed.
At the end, I don't know when I get drunk!
-------------
The first one is sent.
Asking for votes is not an act, it's an attitude!
