Chapter 13 Diverse Customs

The New Year of the Orcs is very intoxicating, and everyone can't help but indulge in it. When they are ready to rest, they realize that simple entertainment can also be tiring.

After resting, everyone slept until dawn.

"Bang-bang-bang-"

It was not their consciousness that woke the crowd up, but three loud noises. Nothing but a few people felt some tremors, the house shook a little, and some little ones were scared to cry. Well, it's really nothing.

"What's going on?"

The first one to come out was Wind Death, and the others came out one after another.

"I don't know, but I heard three loud bangs, and I heard that the sound should have been blown up somewhere...... But they don't seem to care at all. ”

"Second cousin, what do you mean, this obviously doesn't care at all, there is no one. ”

What Hua Xi said was irrefutable, because the people who went out now were only a few of them around them.

"Hmm, what are you doing so early, and don't get any more sleep?"

"Huh, it's you!"

Yueli immediately recognized that this was the orc who played her musical instrument last night.

"By the way, where's my stuff?"

"I put you next to you, you drank too much at the time, and I tied you up. ”

Then, the spirit beast held its forehead.

"I said what should be in the morning...... Why did I just throw it away? I'll have to go back and find it...... Don't talk about that, what are you?"

"We heard three loud bangs, and then we were woken up, did something happen?"

"Oh...... Then you don't have to worry, it's just that I went and set off three fireworks. After all, it is used to ward off evil spirits, and the sound must be loud. ”

"I'm curious what kind of fireworks can be so loud. ”

"No...... That's it, it's special. ”

"This ...... Isn't that the bomb you said last night?"

"What? bombs, bombs as fireworks, you're crazy, aren't you?"

"Look at your surprise, our bomb is different from your bomb, although it is called a bomb, but it is fireworks in our place, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take this thing out of place." ”

Eventually, the matter was revealed in the surprise of the nine. It was indeed fireworks, artillery to be exact. More precisely, it is an artillery battle with the same power as a normal bomb.

At this time, it was a quarter of an hour, and the braziers had all been extinguished, and the fire bats guarding the side had all gone back to rest, and the tribe seemed a little deserted.

After everyone experienced this, they couldn't sleep anymore when they went back to sleep, and they didn't dare to run around for fear of committing any taboos, so they could only chat outside.

When Chen was in the middle of the day, there were three loud bangs of the same kind. After the loud bang, each household suddenly opened their doors, almost at the same time. Everyone understood at a glance that this was another custom, and the time was right, which was obviously a particular one.

After that, people came out one after another, and the first thing they did after going out was to go to the pyre that had been burned out last night and pour the glass of wine they had prepared into the ashes. This is to send the god of fire, and every family has to toast and send the god without special circumstances.

Speaking of this wine, it made everyone feel deeply. Among all the people, only Thunderstorm was good wine. And the spirit beasts are drunk, and even thunderstorms are a little unbearable. The wine was so strong that it filled my throat with a sip.

Last night, he asked the man to drink, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the god of fire. However, you can take a sip, this is to take into account that some people are not good at drinking. But in just one bite, the other four men choked.

The bladed spider took advantage of the thunderstorm to drink a glass last night, and then fell straight down, lying next to the thunderstorm and talking nonsense, and almost spit out the silk. If the thunderstorm hadn't stopped quickly, I'm afraid there would be spider silk everywhere again.

After sending the god of fire, everyone would dip their foreheads with the water they had placed in the container in front of each house the previous night. It's not a face wash, it's good luck. The spirit animals believed that the god of fire would visit each house at night and bring good luck with him, and that this "holy water" was the medium.

After doing this, the spirit beasts came to the side of the people and sent blessings to everyone. Interestingly, there is a limit to the number of times this blessing can be given, only nine times for the same person, no more and no less.

When the chief's family came, the object of blessing was naturally a thunderstorm, and the others were also warmly blessed by everyone. It is also a custom, a custom to show their hospitality, to indicate that the status of the guest is only a little lower than that of their god.

After the blessing, they are much freer, and the children can move freely. For example, Xiao Rou is now entangled in thunderstorms again.

Adults are not so free, although there are no group activities, but there are still individual activities. For example, each family has to prepare a lot of things to worship their ancestors, worship their individual gods, and so on.

It's still very easy on everyone's side, as guests, they don't need to do anything, just don't mess around. Otherwise, it is easy to disturb the sacrifices of various families.

At the beginning of the year, the sacrifices of each family were basically over. Next, it's time for today's big scene.

In the sight of several people, there were several times more people than usual coming and going in and out of the chief's room. Many of them are familiar with each other, so they can still recognize a lot of them.

The people who came to visit were first of all the heads of the various departments of the tribe, who were the general persons in charge of the normal operation of the various departments of the tribe. Then there were the men of the convoy, who, unlike usual, were fully armed, and now they were in civilian clothes. Finally, there are civilians, who come out with more joy than sorrow.

I learned from Xiao Rou that this time of year is the busiest time for the chief.

The civilians who went in were not just visiting, but were here to give their own opinions and suggestions, or to make some requests. It is worth mentioning that it is possible to make some requests today that few people support, and if there are good reasons for this, they are likely to be granted.

In addition to making their own proposals, participating in the decision-making of citizens' requests, and becoming notaries, the heads of each department will discuss the development policy for this year. For example, whether to expand the size of the tribe, change the trading materials, the design of fortifications, and other things closely related to the tribe.

It is important to know that this period is important, and everyone understands that if they can, they should try not to disturb as much as possible. So they went to their own thing in peace.

No one cares about the bladed spider now, and changing her habits is not something they can do, so she can only wait for her to recover automatically. And what needs to be managed, only Xiaorou is left. So, everyone gathered around and made Xiaorou happy.

By the time Xiao Rou had had her fun, it was almost noon, and the chief had just taken care of everything. But he can't relax yet, and there are still some things that have to be discussed in the afternoon.

After the chief's side is done, the families will visit everywhere, and they will also face the same situation as the chief for a while, but with fewer people.

When a certain household has finished entertaining, the family will untie the ribbon at the door to represent themselves to complete the reception. When everything that can be entertained is done, their New Year is officially over, and families will return to normal life.
