Chapter 105: Accepting the Rite of Passage
If you use one sentence to describe the expression of the young man at this time, it is that you can't cry if you want to, and you can't scream if you want to.
Being bitten by a bullet ant, he can only endure the severe pain, and if he can't bear to cry, he will be recognized as a cowardly man, and he will not be cared for by the tribe.
"Poor boy!"
"I don't know why, suddenly I began to admire Brother Chen's willpower, so many bullet ants lying on his hands, he can still be so calm, I saw him at the beginning that his expression was a little wrong, and then I saw that he was always relaxed, and it seems that he should just endure it for a while."
"Brother Chen, I have to obey!"
Subsequently, Ye Chen quickly collected a large number of bullet ants in this way, and what he thought would take an hour or two to complete was now all done in five minutes by Ye Chen.
It's just that his way is like this, but he really stunned the five indigenous teenagers.
Damn, the humans out there can't be any more.
After collecting the bullet ants, the six began their journey back, heading to the tribe's residence.
When the rest of the tribe saw the children coming back, they were very happy, but when they found Ye Chen, an outsider, the people in the tribe reacted almost the same as a few teenagers at first, and they all looked at Ye Chen with hostility, after all, in the concept of many tribesmen, alien humans mean great danger.
But now, to the great surprise of the tribesmen, this alien human with clothes all over his body was actually brought back by several children from the tribe.
This qiē made the people in those tribes a little puzzled why the five children did this.
The chief was a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure, with a kind face, and he was only a little puzzled by Ye Chen's arrival, but he didn't look very angry.
For the children of the five tribes, the chief showed enough trust.
When Ye Chen stepped forward and greeted the chief in a friendly manner in the tribal language, many people in the tribe, including women and children, looked at Ye Chen blankly.
They really didn't expect that this person who didn't know where to come from would be able to speak their words and even chat easily.
Ye Chen's surprise to them was too great.
The audience in the live broadcast room and the Star Cinema were all taken aback by Ye Chen's behavior, this guy sometimes compares, and sometimes fucks and scolds his mother, he leaves the impression that he is casual.
But today, Ye Chen appeared in front of these natives like a gentleman, and his manners were very elegant and calm.
This kind of Ye Chen quickly narrowed the distance with these tribesmen, at least he here will no longer have the previous hostility towards him.
"Brother Chen, this is an invisible pretense!"
"To be reasonable, Brother Chen's cousin today is really a very gentleman."
"Sure enough, it is a store that can be compared with both cattle and cattle." When Ye Chen proposed to the chief to accept the coming-of-age ceremony in the same way, the chief saw that Ye Chen had been smiling, and did not agree, nor did he refuse.
"I'll go, this chief looks down on our brother Chen."
"That's it, he definitely doesn't know how good our brother Chen's fork is."
The audience was very resentful of the chief.
Ye Chen's insistence was soon exchanged for the chief's consent.
If a man wants to survive in this rainforest, he must overcome all kinds of unfavorable living environments in the rainforest and cultivate a strong heart and strong body.
And such a coming-of-age ceremony is not only a test of a man's tolerance of pain, but more importantly, a test of a man's courage, which is almost their rule of survival.
And now, Ye Chen is so determined to try this kind of coming-of-age ceremony, and the chief himself appreciates his courage, and the reason why he didn't agree at the beginning was more for Ye Chen's consideration.
You know, one bullet ant is enough for a person, let alone a hundred or even two hundred bullet ants bite down at the same time.
The young man in front of him didn't seem to have grown up in the rainforest, and the chief really didn't dare to let him try.
Of course, if he decides, the chief will not refuse ruthlessly.
Over there, someone had already begun to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony of the chief's son, and at the same time, they had prepared another pair of gloves for Ye Chen. This glove is very particular, first the bullet ants are hypnotized with a special leaf, and then the bullet ants are put into the special gloves one by one.
Such a glove with hundreds of bullet ants is the most important test of the coming-of-age ceremony in the tribe, and the recipient needs to endure the bites from more than 100 bullet ants for ten minutes, and in the process cannot shed tears or cry.
It can be said to be a very cruel rite of passage.
And before accepting the coming-of-age ceremony, the chief asked Ye Chen to paint a layer of black things, according to him, in this way, if he is bitten by bullet ants, the toxins released by them will not make his hands useless, or swollen very large.
Ye Chen refused with a smile, the smell of the black paint given by the chief Ye Chen was very unaccustomed.
Seeing Ye Chen like this, the chief couldn't help but come over again at this time to persuade him not to try such a coming-of-age ceremony, and it was too late to give up now.
After all, in the eyes of the chief, Ye Chen was just an ordinary human being, if he didn't know how to speak the language of the tribe, it is estimated that he would not have been able to enter here.
But now, this preparation to protect his hand he actually refused.
In the chief's eyes, this is a proud and unbeatable fellow.
After the gloves over there were prepared, Ye Chen walked with the children to the tribe's shrine, which is equivalent to the current ancestral hall, and when Ye Chen walked in, there were all kinds of corpses inside.
There are some fish bones and even python skins, and the shrine is filled with whining sounds, and it is clear that this is a very sacred place for the tribesmen.
Ye Chen walked in together, and at such a coming-of-age ceremony, the clansmen in the tribe sang and danced, and they were very respectful of the coming-of-age ceremony.
The first to start was the chief's son, and after he finished, it would be Ye Chen's turn.
Looking at them, Ye Chen interacted with the audience while adjusting his camera, trying to let the audience see more things.
In the footage, the audience sees that during the ceremony, the people of the tribe form a large circle, and when the chief's son puts on his gloves, he begins to stomp his feet with him, as if in this way he is suffering with the boy who is receiving the rite of passage.
The audience can see an eleven-year-old boy who is enduring the great pain caused by two hundred bullet ants with his strong willpower, but the young man's heart is very strong, and he has been enduring it without saying a word.
The ceremony was solemn and solemn.
Then by the time of Ye Chen, the style of painting had completely changed! (To be continued.) )
