Chapter Twenty-Three: Horn Set
Chapter Twenty-Three: Horn Set
I tried it, and my hands and feet were already moving, so I sat up and raised my hand to take the medicinal soup.
Leo said, "Wow, can you drink this?" It can't be toxic, right? โ
Without the slightest hesitation, I drank it.
The medicinal soup is neither lukewarm nor hot, and the temperature is just right.
The taste is bitter with a little sweet, and a little sour, which is not unpleasant.
In fact, everyone in the village drank the decoction made by Grandpa.
The shaman's duty is not only to be responsible for sacrifices, but also for healing and divination, and what I have learned now is only a little bit of the surface of the sacrifice, and healing and divination are still far behind.
Grandpa watched me drink it and said, "I have already taught you in the pharmacy, drink a bowl every day in the future and make it yourself." โ
I nodded, got up, and put the peeka back.
Leo was shouting again: "If you don't wash it, won't there be a problem?" โ
Sometimes, he really talks like a fly at the dinner table and a gadfly on his body.
But then again, it's spring, there are no flies in the house, and since I started bathing often, the gadfly is almost gone.
Grandpa said: "Now that you have awakened your mind, you only need to drink medicine on time every day, practice the method of controlling the elements, and within half a year, you will be able to master the skills of communication and driving the spirit of nature!" โ
I said, "I'll practice well, Grandpa." โ
Grandpa said, "Be careful, don't push too hard every time you practice...... Well, forget it today, start tomorrow, with that feather ......"
He pointed to the decorative feathers on a python drum on the wall and said, "It's easiest to control a feather and fly around the house so that it doesn't get burned by the fire." โ
I walked over and my grandfather said, "Don't move! I can't move today, so bear with me. โ
I walked out, and my sister and mother were sewing clothes again.
My sister saw me and said, "Bihon, are you alright?" โ
Mom said, "Bihonghong is hungry, right?" I'll keep you for dinner! โ
I asked, "Dad and brother haven't come back yet?" โ
Mom said, "It's raining so hard today, they probably won't come back." โ
I went into the kitchen and my sister brought me a warm dinner.
I buried my head in eating, and my sister suddenly handed me a pair of corner covers; "Mom and Dad know it...... I still did it for you! โ
I said, "I'm not telling you!" โ
My sister smiled: "What's the use of not telling the truth?" I'm going to let them know anyway......"
I said, "So, are you going to marry into the village of Duodie?" โ
My sister said a little shyly, "You care so much? By the way, summer is coming, and you can't use the corner cover, so why don't I put it away for you? โ
I reached for the corner sleeve and said, "No." โ
Then, he put the horn sleeve on.
Leo said, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?" โ
I ignored him and put the horn cover on the right corner.
Leo shouted: "Hey, hey, don't make trouble, I can't see it!" Hey, Bihon, is it interesting for you to do that? โ
My sister also smiled: "Stay in winter and look better, and now you wear it, aren't you afraid of other people's jokes?" โ
I said, "Try it, it's not the right fit." โ
My sister said, "Of course it's appropriate!" When you grow up, I'll leave it to Alan to use, and I'll make you a new one when the time comes! โ
I said this, but I didn't take the corner sleeve off.
My sister said, "I'm going to sew clothes, put the bowl in the basin after you eat, and I'll wash it!" โ
I nodded as I ate.
Leo said, "Hey, Bihon, don't make trouble, it's useless!" Come to think of it, I've helped you so many times, and I can help you observe the movements around you...... Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you make a holster? โ
I said, "At least it will make you say less nasty things!" Especially my family! โ
Leo said, "Well, this, it's good to discuss, I'll promise not to talk about your family...... Let's get this stupid thing down first, okay? โ
I said, "Mine try it and see how it works, it's very comfortable to wear." โ
Leo said, "Look, is there a village like you?" People wear necklaces, nose rings, and studs, and no one has nothing to wear a sleeve on the horns! It's so easy for you to arouse their suspicion! What will they do to you? You must know that no matter what race you are, you are afraid that you are different from others......"
I said, "But, since I had you, I've been different from them." โ
Leo was silent.
I continued to eat my dinner with my head down, munching on the freshly boiled lump of meat.
Leo suddenly said: "Let me tell you a story, once upon a time, there was a man, well, a human being, who went to steal the bell that someone hung at the door, and he was afraid that the bell would wake up his master, so he blocked his ears, thinking that he could not hear it, and the owner of the bell could not hear it, and then he ...... And guess what? โ
I said, "Greedy and despicable human beings, you must have been caught!" How stupid! โ
Leo said, "Just like you are stupid! โ
I said, "It's good you can't see it anyway!" โ
Leo smiled: "You think I can't see? Don't forget, in addition to vision, I also have elemental vision, even if I can't see it, I can feel it! โ
I stopped chewing the meat.
That's right!
He will also be elemental vision, and the corner sleeve is useless!
And, the scary thing is that I have awakened my mind, will he also awaken?
Thinking of this, my heart was cold.
The rest of the meal suddenly lost its taste.
After eating, I put away the bowl, disheartenedly picked up the other corner cover, and walked to the lobby where my mother and sister were sewing clothes.
Leo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right......"
My sister smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll get it ready for you in the fall!" โ
Mom said, "Bihong, summer is coming, why do you want to make a corner set?" โ
I said vaguely, "When it's snowing...... Uncomfortable. โ
Mom didn't ask, and suddenly began to explain to my sister: "I asked your aunt to inquire clearly, their family ......"
My sister was shy again.
Suddenly, Kate shouted anxiously outside the door: "Grandpa Tar, Grandpa Tal, a few words to grandma, please save grandma!" โ
Mom, my sister, and I all looked out the door in surprise.
Kate was standing outside the door without a shirt and covered in muddy water, and she didn't know whether it was tears or muddy water on her face, and when she saw us, she cried loudly: "Aunt Mara, Sister Lada, Bihon!" Where is Grandpa Thal? Me, my grandma she ......"
The first time I saw Kate crying here, it was so sad.
Kate didn't have a grandfather or grandfather, but she had a grandmother and a grandmother, and his grandmother was older than my grandfather and couldn't go out and stayed at home all day.
Hearing him cry like this, I knew that the old grandmother might be returning to the arms of Mother Earth Goddess.
Grandpa heard the cry and walked out as well.
He looked at us, then at Kate, and said, "Kate from Sanchie's house? What's wrong? โ
When Kate saw her grandfather, she cried even louder: "Grandpa Tรกr, come and see, grandma, she ......"
Grandpa hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed him, and said, "Let's go, we'll go now." โ
Mom and sister put down their work and prepared to keep up.
Suddenly, the younger brother on my mother's back cried "wow".
Grandpa said, "Bihong follow me, don't go!" โ
I hurried to follow.
It was already dark, and Grandpa took a torch and held Kate in one hand and walked forward.
I followed behind them, and by the light of the fire, I walked cautiously on the muddy road.
When they arrived at Kate's house, his mother was in a hurry.
Several village aunts and grandparents are accompanying her.
They gathered around Grandma Kate, who was leaning back in a chaise longue, screaming as if they were arguing and crying.
Kate shouted, "Grandpa Tal is here!" They suddenly quieted down and made way of the way.
Kate's mother wiped tears and sobbed, "Elder Tรกr, you must save Mommy!" โ
Grandpa seemed to nod his head, and seemed to have done nothing.
Kate's mother stood aside with her arms around her, and I cautiously leaned in.
Grandma Kate lay on her back in her chair, wheezing as if something was choking her throat.
Grandpa said to me, "Bihon, take a look!" โ
What he meant, of course, was for me to use elemental vision to observe Grandma Kate's state.
I focused my attention, and a large group of bright and shining points of light suddenly appeared.
Compared to the first time, I am now completely accustomed to elemental vision, and the life element is exuberant in everyone around me, including my grandfather.
Only Grandma Kate has very few spots of light on her body.
Grandpa stepped forward, put his hand on Grandma Kate's forehead, and whispered, "Look! โ
My eyes widened as I saw the elemental energy in the air around me suddenly converge into his hands, and then, into Grandma Kate's body.
Then, Grandma Kate's wheezing calmed down.
I put away the elemental vision and looked at my grandfather in amazement.
Leo suddenly shouted: "Wow, the soul is out of the body, the soul is in bliss!" โ
