Chapter 85: The Sacrificial Rites
The tribesmen were in full swing to build houses, drying mud bricks, building walls, putting wooden beams, building roofs, and building thatch, and it was already more than ten days after the completion of the house.
The tribe now has thirty-five people, the vast majority of whom are young and middle-aged, with only four young children, so they work much faster, and now they can build ten houses faster than they did before.
Yanu knew that Qin Yue was the witch doctor of the tribe, so he thought about it for a while and proposed: "Witch doctor, look, the house has been built, is it necessary to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony, thank the fire god for his protection of our Yanhuang tribe, and give us a house that can shelter us from the wind and rain." ”
Qin Yue thought about it, the sacrificial ceremony was a good time to unite the tribe, and it happened that the tribe had just had a stage of integration, and holding a sacrificial ceremony at this time was very beneficial to deepening the tribe's sense of belonging to the Yanhuang tribe, so he nodded: "You're right, we not only have to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony, but also build an altar, and the tribal sacrifices will be held on the altar in the future." ”
Qin Yue said that there are several large tribes on this continent, and other small tribes are all in the tribal clearing, using clay pots as holy relics, so Yanu quickly understood.
Qin Yue and Liang Jian talked about this, and Liang Jian readily agreed, just a little mud brick and tree trunk were left, and it was more than enough to build an altar.
The day was beautiful, Yanmu had come to the Yanhuang tribe a few days ago, they sent people to several friendly tribes to inquire about the news, and sent people to the forest tribe, only a wave of people returned. With accurate information, the forest tribes have indeed disappeared, and the reason why the barberry tribe concealed this information was to take advantage of the fire to rob.
As for the reason for the disappearance of the forest tribes, there is no unified conclusion, some tribes say that the demons in the forest were born, some tribes speculate that it is the punishment of the gods, and some tribes suspect that it is the work of a huge tribe that is unknown.
Walking up the steps, the circular altar was painted flat and smooth, and a stone was used in the middle, a scorching flame was ignited on it, and a pheasant with plucked chicken feathers was placed next to it as a sacrifice, Qin Yue stood on the altar and pretended to dance a strange dance, quietly half-opened one eye, and the tribesmen all knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly.
Only Liang Jian held back a smile and half-squatted in front of everyone, Qin Yue glanced at him, and danced a self-created blessing dance with a smile, feeling that he was like a swaggering and deceitful magic stick.
She doesn't have the slightest fear of the gods in her heart, she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but she needs to rally everyone in the name of ghosts and gods.
This simple and grand sacrificial ceremony ended after she called a halt, and the tribesmen were satisfied, adding another layer of reverence for the fire god sacrificed.
After the ceremony, a two-metre-high bonfire was raised in the tribal clearing, and the corona indicated that it was two o'clock in the afternoon.
The roasted cattle and sheep, as well as all kinds of fish, exude an attractive aroma that attracts the tribesmen to immediately grab and swallow them.
In a few jars, simmering thick white fish soup and pheasant mushroom soup, Qin Yue took the lead in serving it to a few young children in the tribe, they didn't care about the heat, they were about to pour it into their mouths, Qin Yue quickly stopped it, and let the adults blow it cold before giving them a drink.
The only old man in the tribe looked at everyone happily and smiled with satisfaction: "Life here is so good, I used to have to stay in the cave, but since I followed Yanu to this tribe, I can eat enough for every meal, I don't go hungry, and I can bask in the sun outside." ”
He is a member of the older generation of the Black Rock tribe, he was one of the best warriors in the tribe when he was young, and even once competed with Black Rock for the position of leader, but he had a dull personality and did not know how to be flexible, so he failed to fight for Black Rock.
After the defeat, he has been suppressed by Black Rock, so Yanu called on the big guys to escape from the tribe, and he was one of the first few to respond.
Yanu also smiled: "Haha, with the leader of Liang Jian and Qin Yue's witch doctor, my life can only get better and better in the future." ”
"Who would have thought that we would be able to live in such a tall, spacious house, with endless animal meat, and a warm house, even if winter is coming now, we are not afraid. ”
"Haha, yes, yes, the other big tribes are not doing as well as us. ”
Seeing the heartfelt satisfaction on everyone's faces, Qin Yue smiled happily and did his best to let everyone live a good life, which could also reflect their value.
There are ten more houses near the tribe, which are arranged in a neat row, and from a distance, it looks like a country village that is not small.
The grassland behind the tribe is their natural pasture, and next to the tribe there is a circle of wooden fences, in which more than a dozen white sheep are raised, a few of which are producing milk, and several children of the tribe can drink goat's milk every day.
Qin Yue had a lot of wool in the house, and he wanted to make a cashmere blanket last winter, but unfortunately he only picked up the wool on one sheep, and the amount was far from enough, so he put it on hold.
Dozens of hares were kept in cages, and she was worried that the rabbits would burrow and the wooden pen would not be able to keep them in place.
"Sister Witch Doctor, can we go in?" said the little boy Ah Sheng, pointing to the white sheep that was leisurely grazing, and said cheerfully, he was followed by a few small radish heads, and he came to take the lead.
After changing the environment and settling down, Aries adapted quickly, there were no natural enemies here, and they ate grass leisurely every day, and Aries lived a very comfortable life.
Qin Yue squinted and smiled, "Yes, but you can't scare them, otherwise they will run away, you know?"
A group of children responded cheerfully, and the grass sounded like silver bells, Qin Yue smiled softly, and suddenly imagined what her and Liang Jian's children would be like?
The wooden fence next to her moved, and Liang Jian propped herself on a half-human-high pole and looked at her, "What are you thinking?"
"I miss the child......" Qin Yue replied subconsciously, feeling that something was wrong.
Turning his head suddenly, he saw Liang Jian staring at her with a smile on his face, "Then work hard for your husband." ”
Qin Yue's old face flushed, but he didn't refute it, and suddenly thought that it had been more than half a year since he came to this world, but his period had been a little inaccurate, and he didn't know if it was because of the change in the magnetic field.
This time she hasn't been here for more than two months, she secretly checked her pulse, and if there is no sign of pregnancy, she can't help but feel a little regretful.
Liang Jian saw her movements clearly, reached out to wrap her shoulder, and was a little yearning: "There will always be children, don't worry." ”
"Who's in a hurry?" Qin Yue couldn't help but say.
But I only heard his laughter, and his chest trembled with laughter.
Qin Yue pushed him, and walked all the way through the busy few clansmen in the field, the grass seeds and seedlings in the field were growing gratifyingly, but the weeds in the field were also growing wildly, it should be because the roots of the weeds in the field were not removed, and the weeds grew stubble after stubble.
A few days ago, Liang Jian ordered the tribe to take turns weeding the fields, and they were very interested in such a novel task, and they rushed to the fields.
Horn Rock accidentally plucked the grass seed seedlings as weeds a few times, and made a big joke, and he was red for a while, until everyone stopped laughing at him, and he got better.
