Chapter 50: Surprise (Part II)

Leo is dead?

Like, yes!

Great joy and surprise!

Just as I became an official shaman, he died quietly!

I had prepared my own amulets, totem poles, and spell horns, but before they could come in handy, he died?

After making sure that Leo was no longer silent, I was overwhelmed with joy!

Even, there was a brief period of confusion......

He died, and all my worries, fears, efforts, and struggles all these years have been in vain?

Thinking about it like this, there is an indescribable loss in my heart.

It felt like losing a friend.

Just like when Kate said he looked down on me, she was full of loss......

I'm already the strongest kid in the village, and I don't think even ordinary adults are my opponents.

I am already a basically qualified shaman, and I can become a shaman priest in any village and be respected by the villagers.

But now, all of this, all of a sudden, I suddenly feel like none of this belongs to me......

Obviously, I should be happy and even celebrated, but what I feel in my heart is actually ...... Lose!

Every day when I wake up, no one Leo is noisy in his ear, speaking strange hometown dialect.

I went to train alone, without Leo nagging to correct me, and I wanted to find fault with it.

Every time I went out hunting, there was no exclamation that Leo was there shouting and screaming, how pitiful those beasts were.

Every time I went to instruct the trainee fighters in their fighting skills, there was no Leo there shouting: "Use the military body fist, hum haha!" ”

I should be happy.

However, why is there no such mouthy guy who feels inexplicably uncomfortable......

Fortunately, there are a lot of good things in life.

The first good thing was that my brother was engaged to the girl from the village of Bezu.

Their wedding will take place next year, when my brother is fifteen years old.

And the matter of the young man and his sister in Duo Di Village, the family has not yet made a decision.

My brother's engagement ceremony was also held in front of the altar, presided over by my grandfather himself, and Ian and Pachart and I still followed behind my grandfather to observe and learn.

At the grand dinner of the engagement ceremony, someone suddenly proposed to my father to tell me a happy event!

It was an old man from the village of Bezu.

He is the elder of Beizu Village and the grandfather of his brother's fiancée.

He sat between his father and grandfather, and said drunkly: "I heard that your second eldest Bihong also joined the hunting team?" Or the best of the younger generation? I happen to have a granddaughter who is also in the village...... It's better to be your daughter-in-law than Hong......"

Dad and Grandpa were also about the same, laughed and said, "Okay, let's take a look when we go to Beizu Village one day, if that's appropriate......"

I immediately became anxious: "Grandpa, Dad! I'm only nine years old! ”

Dad took a big sip of wine nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, isn't it just that you are underage?" Back then, your mother and I were also engaged at the age of twelve! ”

Brother Pattu and Ian sat down not far away, looking at me and snickering.

Grandpa and Dad laughed even louder.

The adults next to him laughed from ear to ear.

My mother and Aunt Rena, who had come to help with the food, were smiling happily and asked me what was the matter, but of course I would not answer, but Patu quickly betrayed me.

After listening to Patu's explanation, my mother said happily, "This is a good thing! ”

Aunt Rena also said: "It's a good girl, and she's about the same age as Bihong, but the two of them are only nine years old, could it be a little earlier?" ”

Mom said, "It's early, but it's always good to plan early...... Go back and you can help me take a good look! My family is a wonderful boy of Bihong, and he will be a warrior in the future, and a girl who is not very good in character will not be allowed to enter my house......"

My cheeks burned with their jokes, so I simply stopped eating and ran home.

When I got home, I remembered what Leo had said.

"Wow, the calf's head is so strong...... There are so many heifers in the village, ah no, so many little girls, isn't there one you like? Don't worry, one day you'll like it, and by that time, you'll have to marry one of them and have a bunch of little minotaurs......"

It seems that he was right again.

Something, sooner or later, will come.

However, I really didn't think about how to deal with it.

Listen to Mom and Dad? It's really too early.

My brother once whispered to me: "That day, when you dreamed, you dreamed of a girl, and then, every day, or every few days, you dreamed of her, probably because you liked someone......"

However, there are many girls and girls in the village, and I have never dreamed of any of them......

Even if it's playing, we boys only play with boys.

What about girls? Just like my sister, since I was a child, I had to work in the fields with my mother, cook and do laundry, and sew animal skin clothes, and I never ran around outside like boys, and I was not allowed to play with boys.

So,I've never thought about any girl.。

Perhaps, when my father and brother get engaged, I will have that idea, right?

Anyway, it's still early.

Anyway, Leo is gone, and I don't have to worry about anything else.

However, at this time, if he had two more words, or tell me how to deal with these things, even if it was just a mouth full of crazy words and lies, it would be better than no one to speak for me and watch my jokes, right?

Look at the present.

Grandpa, Daddy, and Mom naturally don't need to say much, Aunt Rena and Brother Patsian, Ian, and my brother, who is already too drunk, will not stand up to help me speak.

I reckon that even the rest of the village, including Uncle Yanggovo, Uncle Sanchi, or Kate, would have the same reaction.

In fact, every time they passed by the village of Bezu, they had to make jokes about their brother.

Because, they all think it's a good thing.

I also know it's a good thing.

But I just don't feel well.

It was getting late, and I was already doing hundreds of push-ups and sit-ups, taking a cold shower, and getting ready for bed.

I was so upset that I made 500 of them in one go!

When I was done, I was sweating profusely and went to the back of my house outside the Kodo pens, where my grandfather had made elephant skull specimens, and began to take a cold shower.

The elephant skeleton specimen has been almost done, and the grandfather said that after a few more days of soaking in potions, it can be hung on the front of the living room at home, so that everyone who comes to visit the house can see it.

The cauldron had been removed, and I carried a large wooden bucket and began to pour water into my body.

Suddenly, I heard the footsteps of Si Si Suo.

I could tell it was the footsteps of two people, and besides, the people who came were cousins Patou and Ian.

When I got into the water scoop, my cousin smiled and said, "Cousin Bihong, why did you run away?" ”

I said angrily, "Why don't you run?" Waiting for you to laugh at me? ”

Patou said, "How could it be a joke for you! We're all happy for you! They are all saying that you are the most promising lad in several nearby villages, the youngest shaman, and the strongest warrior in the future! We all envy you! Why don't you tell us your secrets! ”

I said, "What's my secret?" Isn't it just running every day, practicing strength, and taking cold showers...... Didn't you try it too? ”

Actually, since learning shamanic skills from my grandfather, Patou and Ian have also wanted to run with me, and they have also learned how to do push-ups, pull-ups and so on, but they can't learn it.

As Leo said, it was the meteor that changed my body and talent, otherwise, these training methods would not work for the average minotaur.

Still can't get out of it with him.

"I always felt like you had to hide the best way to do it," Patou said......

I said, "You study with me all day long, and don't you all do what I do?" By the way, you can't do it with the only thing about bathing...... By the way, Ian, do you want to wash when I'm done? ”

Ian said, "I don't dare to take cold water, and when Sister Radha comes back, I'll let her boil the water and wash it hot." ”

Patu said: "Forget it, if you can't learn it, you can't learn it, talent, my grandfather said that it was born, and there is no way to change it......"

Talent can't be changed?

But it's actually possible, but the way to change it is a bit peculiar...... I whispered in my heart.

I picked up the ladle and said, "Okay, do you have anything else to do?" No I'm going to take a shower......"

Patu smiled and said, "Shall we talk to you?" By the way, cousin, then, why don't you like to marry a daughter-in-law? I see that they have daughters-in-law, and they are very angry! You don't have to do anything at home, cooking, washing clothes, feeding Kodomon, sweeping the floor and drying animal skins, aren't they all done by women and children? When you have a daughter-in-law, you won't be a child, so you don't have to do this! ”

I said, "Don't I have your aunt and cousin now?" ”

Patu said: "My aunt is my uncle's daughter-in-law, of course she has to work, but my cousin is different, if she marries, we will have to work for several years!" If you marry a daughter-in-law, we can do our share of the housework for her, right, Ian? ”

I laughed angrily: "Do you want me to marry my daughter-in-law early in order not to do housework?" ”
