Chapter 27: Harvest Season (7)
On this day, the tiger clan was unprecedentedly lively, although the ceremony did not start until noon, everyone had already gotten up excitedly and began to gather in the central square, the party Gu Xi was still asleep, because the night before was inexplicably excited and did not fall asleep, Huo Bai had to continue to accompany quietly, and the two of them had already lived together, and neither of them had elders and relatives on either side, so the two of them were simple, and they didn't let anyone come to their house to help, so they decided to wait until noon to participate in the festival.
On the contrary to them, the most lively one now belongs to the Tong family, Tong Bo, Song Xuan, and Tong Xiu are all capable of making trouble, which will be tossing Tong Qi at home.
"Mother, father, do you really want to wear like this? It's going to be hot" Tong Qi was already about to collapse, what was going on with these gurgling bird feather pants.
"Xiao Qi, it's not right for you to say that, my mother and father plucked all the most beautiful hairs on our giggle bird to you" Tong Xiu said seriously, there is no hair in their giggle bird Peng is still intact.
Tong Qi looked at his father Tong Bo with tears and laughter, Tong Bo pretended not to see it: "It's full of good-looking, you can wear it, they don't have it." ”
"This is what I asked Xiao Yan to do together, do you dare not wear it?" Song Xuan said with a smile.
When Tong Qi heard this, he immediately said that he had no opinion, how could his Xiao Yan not look good? Huo Bai didn't have them, let them envy them.
Now what they have to do is to move the animal skins prepared by Tong Qi and the things given by the Tong family to their new house, and then take Yan Yan to the new house from Yan Yan's house.
"Let's go, go pick up Xiaoyan!" Song Xuan said, so the group set off to Yan Yan's house in a mighty way.
Go to Yan Yan's house here, and Wei Da over there simply set off from Yao Shen's residence, and the people in the clan followed him to An Hua's house, because he had decided to settle in the Tiger Clan, he had already taken all his belongings with him when he came from the Bear Clan, and he would have to move to An Hua's house, Uncle An had saved a lot of things for An Hua, and they had already been placed in An Hua and Wei Da's room.
Gu Xi slept lazily, he didn't know anything about the excitement outside, Huo Bai had already gotten up, and he had prepared breakfast early, and he might be late to eat at noon today, so he took out the clothes that the two of them were going to wear and put them on the bed, this dress was also new, the style was designed by Gu Xi, and it was made by Yan Yan's mother-father.
The clothes are short-sleeved design, placket style, the choice is the animal skin of the rare short-haired beast, his skin is thin, the coat color is gray and light, because the handling is good, the animal skin is very soft to the touch, this is Huo Bai went to hunt the red-haired beast when the unexpected harvest, just enough to make clothes, the two made two clothes, the pants are the design of cropped pants, and the animal skin that was originally stored at home is still used, as for the red-haired beast skin that Huo Bai specially played for Gu Xi, it has been put away by Gu Xi, this is Huo Bai specially for hunting.
In order for the two to be consistent, Gu Xi gave up his sneakers, and specially made two pairs of animal skin shoes with the same style, the animal skin of the hairless beast is the best to make shoes, the brown skin, and it is also full of good-looking ones, and Gu Xi turned it out from Huo Bai's belongings, they don't have hairless beasts, and when it comes to the exchange day, there will be people from distant tribes who will bring hairless beast meat and skin, Gu Xi guessed that maybe the hairless beast is a cow, and it seems that there will be beef to eat soon!
The two of them finished dressing slowly, ate breakfast, and sat at home leisurely waiting for the other two sides to be busy, Gu Xi, who was still a little nervous yesterday, is not nervous at all now.
"Brother Xiaoxi, let's go, they're all right!" Mo Li ran over, he had just run from Tong Qi Yanyan's new home, "They have all gone to the square, let me tell you to go out." ”
Huo Bai looked at Gu Xi and stretched out his hand: "Let's go"
Gu Xi put his hand on Huo Bai's hand, and the two walked towards the square together.
At this time, on the central square, everyone has already been busy, the food to be eaten at noon has been moved in the morning, the big stone pot has already been set up, and those who can prepare in advance have begun to prepare, in the tribe, there are more and more people who can cook, so those who can help have come to help, some cold dishes have been prepared a day earlier, as long as you take a bowl and serve it, the stew and soup have also been stewed, and when the ceremony is over, you can almost eat.
And so, their ritual began.
The oldest person in the tribe is Uncle Jiang now, this grand ceremony will be held by him, he has been waiting in the central square early, watching the three teams of newcomers walking around the clan, his eyes narrowed with a smile, these are the children he watched grow up, and now they are about to get married.
The wooden platform had been erected in the central square, and the sacrificial tables on it were lined up with abundant food, and no matter what happened to them, their reverence for the beast god would never change, and they firmly believed that the current power of the orcs came from the gift of the beast god.
The whole square was quiet, the clansmen watched them walk towards the altar, Gu Xi felt that this moment was extremely sacred, he and Huo Bai held hands and walked to the altar, there is a reason why the orcs chose to pay tribute when the sun is full at noon, in their legend, it is the beast god who dispelled the darkness and brought light, light can bring health and bring a good thing, and this is also the reason why everyone likes to gather in the square to bask in the sun at noon.
"The beast god is above, under your witness, today's Tiger Clan, Huo Bai Guxi, Tong Qi Yanyan, Wei Da Anhua are partners, may the beast god always protect them......" Uncle Jiang looked up at the air, stretched out his hands and knelt down.
Huo Bai held Gu Xi's hand tightly, knelt down in unison, bowed to the sky, and when he raised his body, it meant that the ceremony had been successful, he looked at Gu Xi, and Gu Xi also looked at him at this moment, from then on, Gu Xi was his partner, and they would be together for a lifetime, forever and forever.
"Please exchange your tokens," Uncle Jiang said, and the clansmen cheered.
Gu Xi stretched out his palm, and a pair of white jade rings were placed in the palm of his hand.
"Huo Bai, are you willing to be a partner with me and swear in front of the beast god that no matter what happens, you will always be together until you leave this world?" Gu Xi looked at this Huo Bai fixedly and asked, he had already thought about it, and said this when exchanging rings.
"I do," Huo Bai said without hesitation.
"Gu Xi, are you willing to marry me and swear in front of the beast god that no matter what happens, you will always be together until you leave this world?" Huo Bai learned from Gu Xi and said, he stared at Gu Xi's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to look people hard into his heart.
At this time, they no longer knew what was going on around them, they exchanged rings with each other, brought them for each other, intertwined their fingers, and then kissed.
When Huo Bai let go of him, Gu Xi found that there were sounds of coaxing all around, and his face turned red, kissing or something in front of so many people, it was really embarrassing.
At the end of the ceremony, the clansmen brought up the lunch that had been prepared, the menu was set by everyone in advance, everyone sat in a circle, three pairs of newlyweds sat together, everyone sat on the ground covered with animal skins, the low table in front of them was full of food, and in the middle there was a whole fanged pig, which was slowly roasted on the fire, exuding a strong fragrance.
Gu Xi is actually not too hungry, but he can't help but eat when he sees these delicacies, at this time he really wants to eat meat and drink a lot of wine to be refreshed, but unfortunately there is no wine, so he can only drink some soup.
"Xiaoxi, this is what the one you made with that white jade is called a ring...... Ring's? Why do you wear this when you get married, is it a habit in your hometown? Yan Yan asked curiously, he happened to be next to Gu Xi.
"Well, the ring" Gu Xi touched the white jade ring on his ring finger, "Well, we will all wear it there, it's also a ritual." ”
"It's good-looking, until I find a good-looking stone, and I'll take a look," Yan Yan said.
"I'll do it for you" Tong Qi immediately said, he just saw the moment when Gu Xi and Huo Bai exchanged rings like this, he didn't know why he felt very touching.
Gu Xi noticed Tong Qi now, and saw that he was wearing pants with gurgling bird feathers, and laughed.
"Haha, I heard that your giggle bird chicken feathers have been plucked" An Hua said with a smile on the other side, he had long heard that Xiao Yan and Song Xuan had used great creativity to make him a new pair of pants, and plucked a lot of beautiful hair from the giggle bird for decoration.
Tong Qi was not angry, and hugged Yan Yan's shoulders with a smile: "You are all jealous of me, this is specially made for me by my family Xiaoyan." ”
Everyone laughed.
The meal at noon was eaten for a long time, everyone chatted happily, and after eating, the newlyweds could go home to rest and clean up, as for how to arrange, it was completely the freedom of the newlyweds.
Gu Xi and Huo Bai's house had nothing to clean up, after returning home, Gu Xi was instantly nervous, how to say that it was also marriage, then it was not the night of candles in the cave room, although he had prepared himself in his heart for a long time, and when it came to this day, he was still very nervous.
"Huo Bai...... Right now...... It's still dawn" Gu Xi sat nervously on the bed and straightened his waist.
Huo Bai laughed, he had never seen Gu Xi so nervous, his whole face was red, he put his hands on Gu Xi's shoulders, just looked at him quietly, and said, "Gu Xi, from now on, you will be my partner"
Gu Xi felt that he was confused, and his nervousness had already been left behind, and at this moment he really wanted to kiss Huo Bai.
So a qiē went with the flow, and it came naturally.
As for the question that the sky is still bright, Huo Bai doesn't care, what is in front of him at this time is the most important.
