Chapter 20: Savage Colors
The lyrics worked.
Shao Xuan can't wait to give himself a slap and make you cheap!
When the sun came out and the snow melted, Ge led the people and blocked the group of people in the cave who were rushing to the river with tools and were going to fish.
Seeing Ge's familiar smile, and then looking at the people Ge brought, the children remembered that they were paralyzed, and at the end of winter every year, before the festival of wind and snow, they would be carried to the stream to be cleaned.
I hate taking a bath the most!!
To put it mildly, the sacrificial activities of the tribe need to be bathed, but the reality is that these children who are unwilling to take a bath will be forced to take a bath by the stream.
Fortunately, Shao Xuan was still willing to wash, he hadn't even washed his face in a winter, his head was sticky, and he didn't even think about what he was like now.
Shao Xuan walked to the stream and looked at the stream, because the waves of the stream could not be seen very clearly, but he could roughly see the sloppy appearance of the current one.
The strong warriors can jump directly into the stream, but not for children, Ge asked people to boil hot water in advance, scoop half a scoop of hot water, add some stream water, and rush against the little cub who was stripped naked and pressed on the stone slab, and he still held something in his hand that I don't know if it was grass and vines or something, and every time I brushed, I could see a large amount of black water flowing down. These little cubs are almost clayman.
A scoop of water will be flushed, and the brushed will be thrown on the haystack next to it, and someone will wrap them in clean hides and carry them back to the hole. The skins that the children had worn before were also taken away and washed by the women of the tribe, and only brought back after they had been washed and dried.
This scene made Shao Xuan's eyelids twitch.
It's like entering a meat processing plant......
Seeing Ge looking over, Shao Xuan immediately said, "I'll come by myself and give me a scoop!"
Seeing that Shao Xuan was very cooperative, after Ge threw over a scoop, he focused on the other children. Anyway, none of the children who survived the winter can escape.
The children who were brought back to the cave after bathing were told that the festival of the wind and snow festival would be held the day after tomorrow. This is Wu's decision, and no one will refute it, and there will be no complaints. It can be seen that the old god's brainwashing was successful, even if he was tossed like this, he didn't complain about the witch at all.
In the past three days of winter, the snow layer that had been accumulated at the entrance of the cave quickly melted, and the ice in the vents of the cave naturally could not hold on. However, as soon as winter is over, the temperature rises quickly, and I don't feel too cold after wrapping in a blanket. A qiē seems to be starting to rejuvenate again.
What impressed Shao Xuan the most in the past two days was that many people who were unkempt and beggar-like on weekdays cleaned themselves up properly, even if the animal skins they wore were not good and there were holes, but fortunately, they were clean, and their heads were combed no matter how long or short they were.
On the day of the Snow Festival, the children in the cave were still sleeping, and the festival was not held until the evening, and now they were not allowed to go to the river to fish, so they could only continue to sleep, and when the time came, someone would naturally call them.
The straw curtain in the cave was lifted, and Ge, who had come in from outside, said to the children lying on the ground: "All right, boys, get up, pack up and get ready to go up the mountain!"
Shao Xuan almost didn't recognize it when he saw Ge, now he was wearing horns that were not Dao beasts on his head, several animal bone necklaces were worn around his neck, and the animal skins he was wearing were not the usual ones, the patterns on the animal skins were very clear, and the hair was like steel needles, and it didn't look so soft. What kind of ferocious beast should it be.
In addition to the clothes, the lattice was painted with plant paints, and the cheeks on both sides were painted similar to the tribal totem horn patterns, and the forehead, nose, and chin were all painted. Every time the hunting party went out, the warriors painted this on their faces. Although they also show totemic patterns on their bodies when they hunt, it seems that painting on the face before hunting has become a traditional practice, a ritual, and now, the same is true for rituals.
Seriously speaking, Shao Xuan participated in the tribe's sacrificial activities for the first time, and when he woke up in this place, the sacrificial activities had already passed, so there were no relevant memories in his mind. It's a very novel feeling.
The children in the cave are still very active in the sacrificial activities, because such activities are all mobilized, whether they live on the top of the mountain or near the foot of the mountain, whether they are strong warriors or babies waiting to be fed, they will go up the mountain.
It is a symbol of the beginning of the year and the most festive event of the year.
The place of worship is at the top of the mountain, close to where the witch lives.
Leaving Caesar in the cave, Shao Xuan followed him out of the cave.
The sky is a little dark, the night will soon fall, and the night swallows that were originally active in the past winter seem to realize something, and Shao Xuan didn't see any of them tonight.
When going up the mountain, Shao Xuan also saw other people walking up the mountain together, all of whom were "dressed up". Wearing antlers, horns, feathers, etc., there are some headdresses that Shao Xuan can't recognize what they are, and the necklace around his neck is a necklace that is more hideous than a hideous.
The faces of the totem warriors are also painted with the same paintings, there are men and women, Shao Xuan also saw a female warrior, she has a colorful big bird feather on her head, she wears several bone chains around her neck, and her waist is surrounded by a belt like some kind of snake skin, the pattern is particularly colorful, and the leather skirt is decorated with a strip of bone ornaments, and the collision between the bone ornaments makes a clicking sound when she walks.
Ge said that she was a very strong female warrior and had some status in the tribe. The other women around her had envy and reverence on their faces after seeing the decoration on the female warrior's body.
In contrast, Shao Xuan and them were like weak chicken cubs walking in the middle of a group of strong human-faced King Kongs.
Shao Xuan also saw other children of the tribe, whether they were people near the foot of the mountain, or people who lived on the mountainside, or people who lived near the top of the mountain, those children were dressed very similarly to adults, but the visual impact on Shao Xuan was not as great as that of adults. However, it is clear that the higher you go, the more "high-class" the decorations worn by the children who live there.
The child walking with the tough female warrior at the front was like a fart, what are you wearing?
Shao Xuan twitched the corner of his eyes, his gaze was withdrawn from that side, and the little cubs in the cave next to him all had bright eyes, looking at those children wearing "high-end goods" with envy.
The body is qiē, and he is as fierce as this.
Wild, mysterious, so strong and wild.
Shao Xuan's face has always been frozen. It was the first time he felt so clearly living in a primitive tribe.
