Chapter 7: Blue Eyes
The cemetery was just outside the west gate of the tribal camp, surrounded by a simple wooden fence to keep out wild beasts, and in the center of the cemetery, a grave pit two people wide and one man deep had been dug.
This is a standard double tomb, because after the disappearance of Red's father, no one was born, no one died, and no body was seen, so this tomb remains empty until today.
Red wrapped his mother in the panther skin and placed her in the tomb himself, and then placed all the things she liked around her, such as wooden combs and bowls.
Next, Red sprinkled a handful of loess into the grave, and then his good brother Green came over and sprinkled a handful of loess into the grave.
Then there are the elders of the tribe, and then all the people of the tribe according to the order of age, each of them personally sprinkles a handful of loess into the tomb, which is also the rule of the tribe, representing the unity of all the tribe as a family.
Soon the tomb was filled in, and even a mound was slightly raised on the ground, and Red and Green worked together to build a mound of some prepared stones.
Rhett then erected a wooden plank in front of the mound, on which was the "Tomb of Mother Rose" written by the Witch Doctor's apprentice.
At this point, the funeral is over, and the deceased relatives are buried in peace, and all the relatives who are still alive are at ease.
Red was busy with his mother's funeral here, and Mary was busy giving birth to her own child.
Mary had no experience, of course, and it was all the witch doctor who led her, and she could sense something struggling between her legs as she endured great pain.
Fortunately, the unknown bowl of soup that the witch doctor gave her to drink made her not so sensitive to the pain in her lower body, a little numb, and a little trance.
Just as the witch doctor shouted, "Mary, hard, harder, I can see his head!"
In a trance, Mary didn't know how long it had been, but she was trying her best, and suddenly she felt that something between her legs had completely come out, and her whole body was relaxed, and the feeling of pain disappeared in an instant.
Then she heard a baby's cry, so loud that it was deafening, and it also brought her from her trance.
She saw the witch doctor holding a lump of flesh in his arms, cutting the umbilical cord with the black dagger, and then stabbing the umbilical cord to death with a rope scalded with hot water.
The witch doctor used an unknown animal skin, which looked very soft, and wiped the flesh ball clean with hot water, and at this time it was clear that it was a baby with pink skin.
Mary struggled to get up and look at her child, but the witch doctor stopped her, "Don't worry, the child is normal and healthy, it's a boy, my hunch is not wrong!"
The witch doctor placed the baby on the black bear skin beside her, cleaned up Mary's body, wiped her clean with hot water, and then placed the baby next to Mary.
Mary looked at her flesh and blood with affection, conceived in June, and once gave birth, she was finally born safely.
The little one was also quietly looking at his mother, not crying, just watching quietly.
Mary then found out that her son's eyes were blue, very charming, really amazing, you must know that she and Red are ordinary black eyes.
The entire Wolf tribe is also black-eyed, and I haven't heard of who is blue-eyed.
The witch doctor also spotted this lovely blue eye, "Oh my God, this must be the will of God, this is the son of God, only God is blue-eyed." ”
Although she couldn't see it with the mask, Mary could still guess that the witch doctor under the mask had an excited expression.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, a very rapid knock.
"It's Red, huh, come in!"
The wooden door was slammed open, and a man almost rushed in, and sure enough, it was Red, who pounced on Mary's side.
"How is it, is mother and child safe?"
"Of course, with me, what else can be wrong?" the witch doctor was slightly displeased.
"Rhett, I'm fine, the kid is fine, come and see our son, he's blue-eyed!"
"Really? I see, it's so beautiful, these blue eyes are even more beautiful, more like you, beautiful mother, beautiful son. ”
"You don't have to patronize and watch your son, why don't you hurry up and thank the witch doctor, we are safe, but it's all the credit of the witch doctor!"
"Smack!" Red slapped his forehead vigorously, "Thank you, Lord Witch Doctor, I'm a little carried away with excitement, please forgive me!"
The witch doctor still said in the same calm tone, "You're welcome, this child is a gift from the gods, a treasure of our Wolf tribe, and I will naturally try my best to help him." ”
"Let Mary stay with me for the night, and go back to your own room tomorrow, she has just given birth and needs a good rest!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Witch Doctor, everything is up to your arrangement, I'll go out, don't disturb your rest, mother and son are safe, I'll rest assured!"
Red kissed Mary and her son, telling her to rest at the witch doctor's place, and then come back tomorrow to pick up their mother and son, and go back to clean up first.
Red walked backwards out of the witch doctor's room and gently closed the door, lest any noise disturb Mother and Son.
Green waited outside the door, saw the smug look on Red's face, and punched him hard, "How's it going? Mary is okay?"
"It's okay, mother and son are safe, Green, I'm a father, I have a son, haha, I have a son!" Red excitedly gave Green a bear hug, and Green was almost out of breath.
"Stop, my brother, you're going to suffocate me!"
"I'm sorry, Green, I'm so excited, go, come home with me, help me clean up my room, and then we'll not get drunk tonight!"
As the patriarch, Red has a large house near the central square, larger than the witch doctor's room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Buzz lying listlessly in the doorway, it seemed that the injury still had a great impact on it, and when he saw Red and Green, he didn't have the strength to stand up, but just raised his head.
"Oh, Bass, my boy," Red hurriedly walked over to Bass, crouched down, and stroked Bass's head vigorously.
"Thank you for saving our family's lives, now you have one more master, Bass, we have one more person in the family!"
"Don't worry, even if you can't catch prey in the future, I will take good care of you, you are a hero!"
After appeasing Buzz, Red and Green began to clean the room, Red had never done housework so seriously, because in the past it was all women's work, and men were responsible for hunting and fighting.
After making sure that the room could not be cleaned, Red took out all the panther, saber-toothed tiger skin, and wolf skin he had hunted before, and spread them on the bed, trying to make Mary feel more comfortable.
Finally, after Green said that he had no strength, Red stopped his busyness and did not know what he was doing, and the two of them roasted a piece of dried wild boar on the fire, and the whole boar hind legs.
