Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 152 The Year of the Tribe (Ask for Collection Subscription)
Ding Qi didn't think as much as Elder Stag, but he felt that seeing this tall and majestic reindeer was particularly eye-catching, not annoying, and he liked it even more when he looked at the other party's pleasing appearance. Then he took out a little bit of refined salt and put it in his left hand, and continued to feed it to the deer king, looking at the way the other party liked it, feeling the itchy feeling in his palm, Ding Qi laughed, and threw aside the embarrassment and discomfort of seeing the rat jerky just now.
However, the smell of rat meat wafting from the tribe at night drove Ding Qi directly back to his wooden house, where he squatted there and gnawed on his bones, and his heart palpitated. The scene of the whole tribe eating roast rat meat before really frightened him.
In the next few days, Ding Qi would run here as long as he was fine, feed the reindeer king some refined salt or forage, and even sometimes lead Xiao Erhei over and watch them eat grass together, making him even happier.
The rest of the time, Tinch would go to the football field and guide the hunters who had returned from hunting in futsal training. Soccer balls filled with animal fur flew around at the feet of the players, and from time to time they were kicked into the air by people who had not mastered the skills, or flew into the snow off the field. The enthusiasm of the players was very high, and they shouted from time to time to let the other party pass the ball, but they did not receive the passing ball, and they lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground, causing everyone to laugh.
Ding Qi told everyone how to dribble with his feet, but after all, it was the first time he came into contact with this round thing, and everyone's curiosity about it was deeper than how to dribble. Therefore, it is not surprising that everyone has a lot of tricks.
Where there is Tinki, there must be a circle of people, especially the game in front of them has opened their eyes, and even the two newly built swings over there can't stop their enthusiasm, and they all gather here to watch them play football. The funny appearance of the hunting team members, in their opinion, is specially designed to make them laugh, which can be regarded as a great spice to their ordinary tribal life, and only this group of football players can laugh like this.
The players of the two teams kicked back and forth, and they became more and more unshaped. Dinch had no choice but to suspend the game and pull several of their teams to practice dribbling in the court, although there will be some hilarious moves, but at least it is much better than the situation just now. Among them, there is a relatively small person named Bei, whose dribbling skills have improved quickly, and he can control the ball left and right and run forward for dozens of meters without running.
This made Ding Qi's eyes shine, and he directly called Bei over and taught separately, explaining the various rules of football and various dribbling skills, such as chest stopping, tiptoeing, dribbling and other skills that Ding Qi would know. Tinch has little talent for football, but he knows that football is a team sport, which can improve teamwork and cohesion. What can be taught to everyone now is the knowledge he gained from the several trainings he participated in in the army, and the rest is up to these people to explore by themselves.
How do you say that? The master led the way into the door, and the cultivation was on his own. If he can rely on his prehistoric teachings to finally bring a football power to the future, it will also be regarded as a contribution to the future country. I just don't know if the future father of football will be myself.
After teaching Bei Lai the game of football, Ding Qi became the shopkeeper again and found Jing to go with him
Do stilts. In fact, stilts are very easy to make, the key is to be strong and able to bear the weight of people.
Jing built a wooden shed by himself, and built a charcoal fire pit in the middle, on which a small clay pot was set up, in which dandelion water was boiled. Since everyone drank the dandelion tea made by Ding Qi, they all liked this taste, and they would boil a pot when they were fine, and drink it at any time, which was convenient and fast, and it also had the effect of reducing inflammation and promoting digestion, and everyone liked it more and more.
Jing picked up the pottery bowl beside him, put it into the bowl with a pottery spoon, it was not too hot, he drank it directly, sucked it around in his mouth a few times, and then slowly swallowed it, and learned Ding Qi's appearance of drinking tea ten into ten.
Picked up a stilt that was about to take shape next to him, planed the stilt with a planer, and then knocked the horizontal log into the eye, a stilt with an overall height of half a meter was completed, and handed it to Ding Qi, who was tying his legs and stilts with a rope there, and watched him continue to tie the other leg.
A few minutes later, Ding Qi, who was sitting on the stool, had already tied the stilts to his two calves, the stilts landed on the ground, and his feet stepped on the two horizontal logs and stood up instantly. But he was startled by himself and Jing, because he almost touched the roof of the shed, and Jing was a little surprised because Ding Qi was so tall. He didn't know the purpose of Ding Qi asking him to do this stilt, but he didn't expect it to increase the height of a person. Immediately after, Ding Qi's movements surprised him even more, and his mouth opened wide as if he had stuffed a few eggs, because Ding Qi actually stepped on the stilts and walked up.
There were also two helpers in the hut, and they were like thorns, looking up at Ding Qi walking around, until one of them accidentally smashed an axe on his own foot, and several of them were awakened.
"Okay, don't look at it, this is called stilts, people can walk on it, you do a few more groups, and let everyone step on it to play when the time comes, it's very interesting."
This made Jing and the others happy, so they hurried to make a few more pairs, at least one for themselves, so that they could also show it in front of everyone, and look at the appearance of the leader just now, it was so handsome! The handsome word taught by the leader is apt, handsome!
After walking back and forth a few times, Ding Qi eliminated the freshness and turned to look at the half-finished drum that was set aside. It was a single log 50 centimeters high and about 30 centimeters in diameter, hollowed out with a chisel to form a barrel two centimeters thick. The inside is smoothed little by little with a chisel to make it evenly thick, and it is ready to be made after covering two pieces of treated sheepskin.
For the next few days, the whole tribe was immersed in a happy atmosphere. After the content of activities such as stilt walking, wrestling, crutches, and tug-of-war was launched, everyone's enthusiasm was completely detonated, and they didn't know which activity to choose, so they had to participate in all of them. Even those slaves are actively involved in it, and a few masters of activity have emerged.
As for the hunting team members who want to have a woman, they have to exercise their combat skills and strive to get the top three, so that it is possible to hold the beauty.
The day by day approached the day before the year designated by Tinch: Chinese New Year's Eve. Before Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone got a haircut, took a bath and took a sauna, and cleaned up their bodies. Before dinner, the entire tribe gathered in the courtyard and lined up in a phalanx
Wulu presided over and held a grand sacrificial event.
The whole sacrificial activity is nothing more than thanking the heavens, thanking the Great Wilderness, thanking Aragami for providing everyone with a place to live, food, and warm clothes, and thanking Aragami for leading everyone to have this happy life where you can be fed and clothed, domesticating so many different animals, and making all kinds of useful tools.
The sacrifice was simple, but it was also grand, with a sheep killed, a wild boar slaughtered, a large fish offered, and a fruit bowl made of dried and shelf-stable fruits. All kinds of weapons and tools were placed in front of the offering table, prayed to heaven and earth, and at the same time officially gave surnames to all those who joined the Ding tribe.
For example, the surname of the Deer tribe is Lu, the surname of the Gray Stone tribe is Shi, the surname of the hunting team members exchanged by the Li tribe is Li, the surname of the Yu tribe is Yu, and the surname of the Qing tribe is Qin.
In this way, everyone is told to take their surname seriously, which has been recognized by heaven and earth, and will become an important way for everyone to communicate in society, such as marriage, study, business, meritorious service and honor, etc., and it is also a sign of personal independence from tribes and clans.
In the sacrificial ceremony, the deer affectionately sang the praises of the heavens and various gods, such as the god of arajin, the god of spring, the god of wind, the god of the earth, and so on. And when she sang the praises of Ding Qi, the desolate god, the kind of love in her affectionate gaze made Ding Qi even more helpless and nervous, constantly dodging the deer's gaze.
In a burst of high-pitched songs, the entire sacrificial ceremony officially ended, and the entire tribe instantly entered a sea of cheers. Everyone has a surname recognized by heaven and earth, which is an unprecedented change or reform for them.
A huge bonfire was lit to send light to every corner of the courtyard, and there were a dozen small charcoal fires around it, on which all kinds of meat were roasted, except for rat meat, which was strongly requested by Tinch, in the form of an order, under the pretext that the heavens would not allow it.
Ding Qi came to the ten large clay pots again, showing his craftsmanship, taking turns to serve all kinds of stir-fried dishes. Next to it is two large iron buckets of hot water boiled by plum, and dandelion water is boiled in it, which is enough to keep it clear and greasy.
In the face of so much food, everyone also opened their arms and kept sending it into their mouths. There are also some people who like to dance, singing and dancing there, expressing their good mood and wishes. The dozen or so children, led by Xue and Dan, ran around the field, playing and playing, so happy. Even the two little guys, Xiong Daxiong, and the two little ones ran out, stretched out their noses and sniffed to find food, and tired the stones and fish that took care of them enough!
The women of the support group also filled everyone with tea from time to time, shouting the word cheers that Ding Qi taught them, and they were in a warm mood. After Ding Qi was done, he also joined in the cheerful atmosphere and felt the care and attention from the tribe. Although there is no wine and dumplings, it also makes Ding Qi feel at home.
At midnight, Ben brought people to bring a lot of dried bamboo, put it in the fire to burn, when a certain bamboo made a crackling sound, the snapping sound sounded again and again, connected into a string, like the sound of firecrackers. Since then, firecrackers have become an essential item for various ceremonies. This is specially prepared by Ding Qi for the Chinese New Year, which can evoke his distant memories, memories that belong to home!
