Chapter 10: The Feast
The sun is rising!
As the morning sun rises, the red glow of thousands of miles, like a flame burning, shines through the clouds and reflects a piece of crimson on the smooth rock wall, just like the little girl's red face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the morning training, the people of the Sand God tribe ushered in meal time, if it was normal times, everyone would eat casually at their respective residences, but today was different, in order to welcome the arrival of Lan Feng and the three, they held a sumptuous banquet.
Not far from the lake, a huge stone platform was built, surrounded by a circle, which was still covered with table mats, on which were filled with all kinds of fruits and barbecued meats, and at this moment thousands of people were sitting on the ground next to the table mats.
"No, so many people, Brother Yelu, I don't think it's necessary, you ...... This is also too enthusiastic, we ......" walked out of the stone cave, looking at the people sitting on the stone platform, Lan Feng and the fat man were taken aback, and felt flattered.
Yelu hurriedly interrupted: "This is a custom of our tribe, but all outsiders, we will warmly welcome them, besides, our tribe has not had outsiders come for more than a hundred years, this banquet, naturally the more grand the better, everyone has not been so happy for a long time." ”
As he spoke, he patted the two of them and motioned to follow.
Walking all the way down the corridor, after a while, they came to a place not far from the stone platform, facing the scrutiny of thousands of people, even if Lan Feng and the fat man thought that they were very thick-skinned, but at this moment they all felt that they didn't dare to raise their heads, especially among these people, there was also a woman with a hot body, and the two of them suddenly felt unbearable.
Perhaps because of customs, geography, culture and other factors, the tribal women all show a kind of wheat-colored skin, a hot body, with a slender and vigorous long legs, and the dress is also extremely exposed, most of the women are only wearing a grass skirt, plus a thin coarse cloth shirt, flat and smooth abdomen, and strong long legs are exposed to the air, full of wild temptation.
As he walked, the fat man suddenly pulled Lan Feng and muttered obscenely: "I said Xiao Feng!" I see that you are not too young, why don't I help you find a fat man? With your beauty, you will definitely be able to win the beauty, if you ......"
"you!" Lan Feng glared at the fat man angrily, and when he saw his obscene appearance, he couldn't help scolding: "You give me some restraint, we are also people who have seen the world, don't make yourself feel like you have never seen a woman, you are not ashamed, I am still disgusted." ”
"Shhhh Fat man, I'm a hero, okay? ”
Just as the two teased each other to resolve this embarrassing atmosphere, a group of people suddenly ushered in the direction of the lake in the distance, led by an old man who was over half a year old, with white hair, wearing a colorful animal skin, wearing a bone stone crown hat, and at first glance, he was not an ordinary person, and after that, the leader who rescued Lan Feng last night was obviously not low, and finally followed by nine young girls, each holding a ceramic jar in their hands, with a pious expression.
These people seem to be performing some kind of ancient ritual, and they have words in their mouths, but they can't hear every sentence clearly, and then look at the people on the stone platform, I don't know when they have stood up, and they follow the Tao with a reverent expression.
Lan Feng and the fat man looked curious, but when they saw that everyone was praying sincerely, they had a sense of awkwardness.
"What are they doing here?" The fat man couldn't help but ask.
He seemed to be asking Lan Feng when he said this, but he was actually asking Yelu on the side.
"It's a ritual of our tribe that takes place every big feast to thank the sand god for giving us food, water and land." Yelu looked up at the two of them and continued: "You come with me, and when the priest will splash the holy water on you, I hope you will not resist, this is a blessing from our tribe to outsiders. ”
Lan Feng and the fat man nodded without hesitation, as a time-traveler in the twenty-first century, for them, although all this is a feudal superstition, but each place, it has its own customs and cultural heritage, they should give the most basic respect, and these people are also kind, they naturally have no reason to object.
Under the leadership of Yelu, Lan Feng and the fat man went straight to the stone platform, and after finding a place to stand in the front, they looked at the sacrificial person again.
At this time, the old man had already climbed the stone platform and came to the center of the crowd, he slowly raised his hands in front of the statue of the sand god, and at the same time, the entire tribe immediately stopped praying.
Immediately, he said in a hoarse and long voice, "Thank you to the sand god for the holy water." After speaking, he bowed reverently towards the statue of the sand god.
"Thank you to the sand god for the holy water!"
All the tribe announced in unison, the sound was long, loud as thunder, and it resounded leisurely throughout the basin, like the sound of gods and Buddhas, startling the birds in the depths of the jungle.
"Thank you to the god of sand for the food!"
"Thank you to the sand god for the land!"
Every time the old man announced, everyone would shout together, whether it was men, women, children, women, children, or children, their expressions were extremely pious.
Everyone knelt on the ground, Lan Feng and the fat man naturally would not be stupid enough to stand in place, they also knelt on the ground, although they did not follow the announcement, but their expressions were also pious and solemn, this kind of sacrifice is equivalent to the earth's Qingming Festival to worship the ancestors, it is a very sacred ceremony, and it does not tolerate the slightest blasphemy.
After kneeling, the old man looked at the nine girls in the audience and shouted, "The sacrifice begins!" ”
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
As soon as these words fell, a sound of bells and drums suddenly sounded from around the rock wall, Lan Feng and the fat man couldn't help but be startled, only to find that someone had come to the corridor around the rock wall at some point, holding various bell and drum instruments, and striking.
With a special rhythm, the nine girls suddenly danced, and the ceramic pot in their hands became their companion dance, like butterflies fluttering among the flowers, all the way to the high platform.
The girls are graceful, soft and boneless, dancing, as if a beautiful snake writhing in front of your eyes, this is the most primitive dance, full of wild temptation, although it is difficult to climb the elegant hall, but there is also another flavor.
The scene in front of him, let alone the fat man, even Lan Feng is stupid.
The maidens danced all the way, and every time they passed by someone, they would dip a little holy water from the ceramic jar and splash it on the person's face, and everyone who had been baptized with holy water looked very excited, happy, and full of gratitude.
They are grateful for this hard-won water!
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lan Feng couldn't help but think of the scene he had seen on TV before, in order to save water, people in arid areas would not take a bath for a year and a half, and the water for washing rice would never be poured, and the water for washing vegetables was also used to wash clothes...... Living an extremely difficult life, countless people even died of thirst in drought.
Thinking of this, Lan Feng understood what these people were doing, in this vast desert, there could be such an oasis, a lake, and a land...... This is undoubtedly the gift of the sand god, the mercy of the sand god.
So they are grateful!
"Human beings should be grateful when they demand a penny of nature." Lan Feng suddenly thought of such a sentence, and he didn't know which philosopher said it.
While he was thinking wildly, the maidens had already come to him, and the holy water splashed on his face, bringing a refreshing feeling, as if baptizing a person's soul, which was not only water, but also the breast milk that gave birth to countless lives here.
The sacrifice didn't last long, and then it ended at the signal of the old man, he came to Lan Feng and the fat man's side, and said in a friendly tone: "My name is Yan Feng, I am the leader of this tribe, and on behalf of all the tribes, I welcome your arrival. ”
Lan Feng hurriedly said: "Leader Yan, you are too polite, if it weren't for you, my friend and I would have died outside, we should thank you." ”
"Hey! It's not right for you to say this, you are all human races, and everyone should be united to resist the other races, and this kind of gratitude can not be said again in the future. The man who saved Lan Feng's three people last night suddenly walked up and said with a smile: "By the way, the situation was urgent last night, and I didn't introduce myself, my name is Yan San, and I am the leader of the tribe's warriors,"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's all too true. The fat man hurriedly agreed: "My name is Qin Lie, everyone calls me fat, of course, don't look at me ...... looks."
The latter words, the fat man suddenly couldn't speak, because compared to the people in front of him, his fat was really not worth mentioning.
Lan Feng looked funny, glanced at the fat man, and then introduced himself.
"Alright, the feast begins!"
After a brief acquaintance, with Yan Feng's words, a banquet with thousands of people began, this scene can definitely be described by the word "magnificent", at least, Lan Feng has never eaten with so many people, not to mention how lively it is.
And the food here can be divided into two categories, either barbecue, or fruit, but in these two categories, Lan Feng has eaten a taste that has never been tasted, the fruits here are obviously different from the fruits on the earth, and they also have another flavor.
As for the barbecue, it is obviously a variety of birds and animals, although the taste is not as good as the craftsmanship of the fat man, but the first time you taste it, it is also delicious.
The only pity is that there is no good wine, so everyone eats very quickly, and they don't talk much, originally Lan Feng also wanted to take advantage of this to ask what the Wing Clan people are? But if he asked suddenly, it would inevitably be too abrupt, so he held his mind patiently.
Soon the feast was over, and the women stayed behind to collect their food, while the men went into the jungle, presumably to hunt or engage in other manual activities.
As for Lan Feng and the fat man, because they had something on their minds, they returned to the stone cave after eating and drinking, first checked Gu Yue, and saw that her face had recovered its ruddy color, and it would not be long before she would wake up, so the two of them came to the corridor outside the cave and had a bird's-eye view of the entire basin.
