Almost without his father and mother opening his mouth to remind him, Komatsu knew that the man in front of him was his uncle whom he had never met. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As his uncle entered, Komatsu found that the big room was full of people. When they saw their father, several people had red eyes and shouted, "Patriarch—"

Soon, Komatsu knew why his father and mother were coming back at this time.

As soon as the sky was bright, Komatsu was pulled out of the bed by his mother.

Wipe your face with a warm towel, then apply a box of colorful paint to Komatsu's face until her entire face is covered, revealing clear eyes.

The hair was braided and tied up, and a large piece of long red cloth hung down from the top of the head, and then fastened to the forehead with a green vine.

The clothes were also new, and the variety of colors seemed to encapsulate all the brightness.

When dressed up like this, the whole person looks like a colorful bird.

After changing clothes, Komatsu walked out with his mother in a daze.

The empty square in the village was now full of people.

Xiao Song held her mother's hand tightly and walked in from the crowd.

When he got to the front, Komatsu found that more than a dozen children dressed up like him were chattering around excitedly.

"Go ahead, just climb up in a moment. ”

The mother smiled and touched Komatsu's head, expecting and relieved.

Komatsu hesitated for a moment, but walked over awkwardly and blended into the colorful birds.

Her father and mother had told her all this.

The reason why I rushed back was so as not to miss this triennial coming-of-age ceremony.

According to the rules of the clan, Komatsu has her first period, and she is considered half an adult, so she can be qualified to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. When the coming-of-age ceremony is completed, it means that the identity of the adult is recognized by everyone, and from then on, the rights of adults can be enjoyed and marriage can be discussed.

If he misses this time, Komatsu will have to wait another three years, and then it will be a little late.

In front of a bunch of colorful birds, there is a large tree that grows tall into the sky.

At this moment, the big tree was covered with red strips of cloth, swaying gently in the wind.

The task of the little birds was to climb the tree, and then pick as many strips of cloth as they could, and bring them down, so that the rite of passage was completed.

At this moment, they were looking at the tree excitedly, their eyes shining with anticipation.

My father and uncle were standing with several older people in the village, laughing and saying something.

There is already a difference in the height of the children in the village, and coupled with the rule of holding it every three years, some of the older children are also mixed together, so the team looks a little uneven.

The girl who was standing next to Xiao Song, who was a head taller than her, asked Xiao Song in a soft voice: "You are the daughter of the patriarch, why haven't I seen you before?"

Before Komatsu could reply, he heard a commotion coming from the crowd.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! You bunny! I'm going to off my mother!"

"It's such an important day, you still want to run out!"

"It's really upside down! The old lady doesn't believe it, and she can't control you!"

With a loud voice came a woman who was stronger than a man. She grabbed a large piece of tightly tied things, parted the crowd with a loud horn, walked up to Komatsu and them, and put down the clamped thing under her arm.

Then he untied the bundle of ropes, revealing a bright red head in the burlap bag under the rope.

As the bag continued to struggle, a large colorful bird rolled out of it.

Uh-

It turned out that it was another child who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.

It seems that he was naughty and didn't want to come, so he was kidnapped by his family.

The strong woman wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiled heartily at everyone, and then took away the cloth balls that were blocked in the big bird's beak.

The big bird gasped roughly, obviously exhausted by the struggle just now.

"Put away your little thoughts. I know you can climb to the top, and if you dare to be lazy, you'll never want to leave the village again......"

The strong woman patted the big bird on the shoulder with her white teeth threateningly, and then made a few quick movements behind the big bird's back and feet, and saw that the two pieces of rope were put away, and after doing this, the strong woman strode out.

At this time, the big colorful bird rolling on the ground stood up.

Sure enough, it was a big bird, and as soon as he stood in this colorful crowd, it turned out that the tall and top-notch big children were immediately not enough to see.

"Umeng, the way you appeared today is very special, and you are very stylish-"

"Yes, we came to the coming-of-age ceremony by ourselves, you are good, let Aunt Hua squeak and give a straight clip......"

"Haha......"

"Umeng, you shouldn't even attend the coming-of-age ceremony, just to sneak out to see your little girl...... Hee-hee......"

"Hee-hee-hee......"

This caused a burst of laughter, and Komatsu listened to it in a daze, and when he raised his eyes to see, the big man didn't know whether he didn't hear it or didn't care, and the whole person stood there straight like a wooden stake, without saying a word.

laughed for a while, maybe the big kid who picked the conversation also found it boring, so he didn't laugh.

After a speech, the order to set off began.

All the colorful children who were dressed up climbed up the trees in one go.

Komatsu is small and flexible, so he can squeeze into the group of people who first climb up.

She looked up and saw that the big man known as Umon was taking the lead, and after three or five leaps, he shook off the two older children who had been chasing him closely.

My father said that the coming-of-age ceremony is just a process of testing, as long as you do your best and do what you can.

Therefore, when he felt that his strength had reached the limit, Komatsu slowly slid down with the collected strips of cloth.

The higher the tree, the more strips of cloth there were, and the top of the tree became a fiery red cloud.

By the time the pine slid down the middle of the tree, several boys had already climbed to the top and began to race against time to collect strips of red cloth. To Komatsu's surprise, the girl who was talking to him softly also collected red cloth strips at the top.

"Komatsu, come to my uncle to see, how much have you collected?"

Komatsu handed over the strips of cloth he had collected.

After a while, the results came out. Thirty-two, not too much and not too little. But Komatsu saw the faint approval in his father's eyes.

When the older old people heard about the amount Komatsu had collected, they couldn't help but look at her with satisfaction.

By this time, most of the children had already come down.

Komatsu is petite, but he has collected more than many people insist on for a long time, which is also the reason why everyone praises him.

Although the coming-of-age ceremony is just a process, the top three in the end are rewarded.

In particular, the person who collects the most red cloth strips will become the man of the year in the whole village before the next coming-of-age ceremony.
