Chapter 17: The Weasel Greets the Chickens
Li Ming and the hunters worked hard for more than a week, and finally built a new pasture, and when they returned, Li Ming found that the cherry trees were already budding. The pen and the fun www.biquge.info never thought that a year had passed, and he had been here for a year, and before he knew it, spring, summer, autumn and winter had passed. The hunting team not only built a pasture, but also had a rich harvest, two big buffaloes, and seven or eight reindeer, which was enough to sacrifice the days when Baiyun's mother gave birth.
In the past, the sacrifices were all presided over by You, but this time, You had to be presided over by Li Ming, and Li Ming couldn't postpone it, so he could only agree to it. On this day, the entire tribe was dressed in their terrifying costumes, and Yue Ran also prepared a set of clothes for Li Ming, wearing the fangs of wild boars on his face, and sticking some wool with a kind of resin on his hands and face. Li Ming was wearing this bulky and strange outfit, if in the past, he would have been intimidated by his makeup, but now, if it weren't for the sadness of the year, he might have been laughed at by everyone's dress and fell to the ground.
The people in the tribe are not as relaxed as Li Ming, for everyone in the tribe, this is the most serious and solemn day; They never doubted the existence of the White Cloud Divine Mother. Now that the White Cloud Divine Mother has really sent her son to the tribe, the people's worship of the White Cloud Divine Mother is even more incomprehensible, and on this special day, each of them sincerely prays to the White Cloud Mother for their inner dreams.
Originally, Li Ming must have known that there was no Baiyun Divine Mother, of course he knew where he came from, but how he came to this place, he really didn't know; There is also a deep awe for nature in my heart, and for this vast nature, man is indeed very small. When standing on the altar, everyone around him looked at him so reverently; The special wood incense burning in the bonfire lingered around the altar, and Li Ming himself didn't know whether he was infected by the environment, or the longing and guilt of his mother, or the awe of the unknown nature......
Li Ming instinctively bowed according to the traditional etiquette, and made three pious bowing rituals on the altar. Of course, he didn't kneel down to worship the White Cloud Divine Mother in You's mouth, he just wanted to thank his mother for her nurturing grace and express his guilt in this special ceremony; He also prayed inwardly for the unknown power of nature, hoping to help him return to his hometown. In the past, you would lead everyone to dance and chant while circling around the altar, and the tribal sacrifices from generation to generation were passed down in this way; But today, Li Ming didn't call for wind and rain, so he knelt quietly and did three kneeling salutes, and knelt there for a long time after doing it.
With his eyes closed, Li Ming's thoughts returned to the place where he was born and raised, which was a remote rural village. In the past, he had always been determined to let himself fly out and fly outside the mountains, even if he only looked at the moon outside the mountain, breathed a breath of the seaside, and fantasized about the salty air, he thought it was worth it. Today, I not only flew outside the mountain, but also flew outside of time, what a dream experience for my former self. But here and now, Fang Zhiyue is hometown, even a small tree or a small grass in front of and behind the house in his hometown can enter his own dreamland and cause his endless thoughts.
The people in the tribe looked at Li Ming kneeling there for a long time, thinking that this was Li Ming's sacrificial ceremony, and also knelt behind Li Ming religiously, closed his eyes, and called in his heart to the White Cloud Divine Mother to bless the tribe with fewer disasters and difficulties, and to have a good harvest every day of hunting, and to avoid the attack of fierce beasts...... Li Ming didn't know what everyone was thinking, and when he came back to his senses and opened his eyes, he found that everyone was still kneeling with him, and he quickly helped everyone up apologetically. Of course, later this kneeling ceremony was passed down from generation to generation, and that was later.
When the people of the tribe were about to share the food, Yang Tsai suddenly barked in panic towards the jungle, followed by the other four puppies. The men of the tribe hurriedly took their weapons, for everyone knew what it meant for the dogs to bark. For a moment, the sound of broken branches could be heard in the jungle, followed by the salsa of leaves being trampled by large animals. But the beast did not appear, and the hunters of the Black Mountain Division, which were more terrible than the beasts, appeared, more than two dozen hunters, all armed with hunting weapons.
"The tribal chief of the Baiyun Tribe, the tribal chief of our Black Mountain Department asked us to come to watch the ceremony, and the nearby tribes are rumoring that your Baiyun Divine Mother sent her youngest son to your tribe, and the hunter we came to inspect last time said that you have changed a lot now and before." The Hashi of the Black Mountain Department did not seem to have come to watch the ceremony, but rather to declare authority, which means that although you have welcomed the son of your White Cloud Divine Mother, you are still our subordinate tribe and cannot cross the previous rules.
A few puppies barked in the distance, they were too young and instinctively told them that these people couldn't get close, but their wild nature made them open their little sharp teeth. The last time the two hunters went back, they reported to the tribal chief: "In the Baiyun Tribe, I saw three things that I hadn't seen before, one is the sound of dogs barking in the tribe, the second is the big earth water tanks in the tribe, and the third is that the tribesmen are dressed differently than before. "This time, Ha Shi's task is to figure out what these things are. When he saw those puppies, he would definitely not be afraid, he was confident, not to mention such a small puppy, even three or four big dogs, he would not take it seriously; He was just amazed at how these puppies could live in a tribe and get along so well with the people in the tribe. He hadn't been discovered by the people of the Baiyun tribe just now, but the puppy found out about his group first, and after synthesizing, Ha Shi was afraid for a while.
Since everyone believed that Li Ming was the son of Baiyun, this news had already spread among the nearby tribes, so when Ha Shi looked at Li Ming, although he did not have the same admiration as the Baiyun tribesmen, he still showed a little fear in his eyes. The hunters of the Black Mountain tribe were treated with special hospitality, and the hunters of the Black Mountain tribe had long been accustomed to this, and they were sure to be guests of honor no matter which tribe they went to; After receiving the courteous hospitality of the White Cloud Ministry, the hunters of the Black Mountain Department slowly lost their fear of Li Ming, and began to show their domineering.
Before leaving the next day, Ha Shi asked Yu for a puppy, which was a temporary assignment from the tribal chief when he was leaving. Ha Shi also told You: "Our Black Mountain tribal chief intends to choose a wife in your Baiyun tribe, this is the honor of your Baiyun tribe, and the two tribes will be one family in the future, which will have endless benefits for you; After two days of observation, I think Yue Ran is the most beautiful and moving woman, our tribal chief will definitely like it, Baiyun tribal chief, you prepare some dowry as soon as possible, in a few days our Montenegrin tribal chief will prepare a dowry and come over to marry Yue Ran in person. ”
The hunters of the Baiyun tribe had already picked up the weapons of battle, and the hunters of the Black Mountain Department also held their weapons in their hands; The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
"Baiyun Tribesman You, you'd better let your warriors put down their weapons, our tribal leader asked me to tell you that if we can't go back tonight, our warriors will set foot on your Baiyun tribe tomorrow."
It is especially recommended to calm things down and give them a puppy first; Yue Ran resolutely objected, these five puppies were equivalent to her children, how could she allow others to take them away.
Li Ming also disagreed, not to mention that he was reluctant to give up this puppy, judging from the domineering and previous behavior of the Black Mountain tribe, the battle was inevitable, and the Black Mountain tribe would definitely not allow the existence of the White Cloud tribe with the son of Baiyun, since the battle could not be avoided, there was no need to lose this puppy.
Ha Shi left the White Cloud Department with the hunter, leaving a message, letting the White Cloud Department wait for the wrath of the Black Mountain Tribe.
