Chapter 54: Departure for the Great Harvest Sacrifice
Mo Yi'er really wanted to go out to find the little pom-pom, but the golden lion appeared at night, and it would be very dangerous outside, and she didn't have anything to do, but she knew that the clansmen would never worry that she would go out alone, and it would bring danger to others, which she definitely didn't want to see.
Chu Wei could see Mo Yi'er's worry and anxiety, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, the little pom-pom will be fine, maybe it's just sneaking out to play!" ”
"Well, I know, maybe he'll be back later." Mo Yi'er lay on the rabbit skin cushion in a haunt, although she was very tired, she couldn't sleep. I don't know how many times I sat up all night, everyone fell asleep, only Mo Yi'er looked at the door of the cave from time to time, whether the fluffy figure had returned. But it was destined that Mo Yi'er was disappointed again and again, until the sky was bright, and the little pom-pom that gave her warmth and fun did not come back.
Chu Ji and Man Ge had already eaten breakfast and were about to go hunting, and the two of them were very worried about Mo Yi'er, so Chu Ji patted her on the shoulder as comfort. "Don't worry too much, you can take a good rest, and see that your eyes are all blue and black."
"Good! I know. Mo Yi'er also comforted herself in her heart, the little pom-pom had never disappeared before, and it would be a few days since she left! She didn't realize that every time the pom-pom disappeared before, it was a few days after her aunt's death.
Sending Chu Ji away, she didn't go to rest, but used busyness to numb herself, a large number of clothes were waiting for them to do, she was busy with the pictures, and the matter of cutting with a stone knife was handed over to Si Fanni. It was Si Fanni and Zhangji who were transferred to help make clothes, Si Fanni didn't look at the big grin, sewing animal skins was a good hand, and she originally wanted to be called Sang Zhen, but other jobs in the tribe were inseparable from Sang Zhen's assignment, so she had to give up.
She's been busy, trying not to think of the little pom-pom, and she doesn't know when she started treating him like more than just a pet. So tired all day, I finally lay down and fell asleep at night, but the dream has always been the scene of her and the little pom-pom together, and after waking up, I looked at the place where the little pom-pom usually slept, and my heart was empty...... So, she became more and more busy during the day, and kept looking forward to the little pom-pom coming back soon.
waited until Chu Wei informed her that she was going to go to the big harvest sacrifice, but the little pompom didn't come back. Mo Yi'er's originally high feelings also died down.
This time he went out as before, Chu Ji took five men and Mo Yi'er, and Bang Ge stayed behind to take care of the other clansmen of the tribe. There weren't many things to bring with them for exchange, there were crystal sugar, wooden bowls, chopsticks, plates, and some silkworm towels. Sang Zhen said that in the past, they only brought some jerky at the exchange meeting after the big harvest sacrifice, but this time they didn't bring any jerky at all. Even so, Chu Ji and the clansmen also believe that these things can be exchanged for many good things! Crystal sugar, in particular, is something that all tribes will be shocked.
Mo Yi'er wore a thick fox fur short coat and Chu Ji and they embarked on the second outing, within the scope of the tribal territory, Mo Yi'er followed Chu Ji's side and trotted quickly, compared to the first outing, Mo Yi'er's speed was much faster, and the animal skin sandbag tied to her legs was also removed by her, and her steps were really brisk.
Chu Wei was surprised: "Mo Yi'er, how did you do it?" There weren't many days for the speed to be so much faster. ”
Mo Yi'er showed a rare smile: "It's the animal skin sandbag on my leg before, didn't you ask me?" ”
"Oh, it's so useful, I'll tie one up when I get back."
"You don't need to, you're already so fast." Mo Yi'er looked at Chu Ji speechlessly, their hunting team did not have modern hunting tools, and they all relied on lurking to chase with their legs, so the speed was already extraordinary.
"You have to go faster, so that you can hunt more prey and make sure that your people are well fed. And also...... I'm going to protect you well! The latter sentence of Man Ge was very strict, as if he was promising something, which made Mo Yi'er's heart warm a lot after being empty for many days.
The leaves on the tree have fallen, so when she sleeps on the tree at night, she can also be blown by the cold wind, and Chu Ji always lies on Mo Yi'er's side to block the wind for her.
On this day, when Mo Yi'er woke up, she found herself in Chu Jiong's arms, and the warm body temperature made her sleep very comfortably all night, no wonder she didn't find out. But...... Why hasn't Chu Jiong, who gets up very early every day, woken up today? Mo Yi'er sat up and looked at Chu Wei suspiciously, making Chu Jiong's breathing even more unbalanced.
"Are you awake?" Mo Yi'er asked with a slightly red face.
"Ahem...... Well! Chu Wei had to open his eyes, and there was a suspicious flush on his expressionless face. It's really rare for such a strict and rigid man to be shy, and it's funny! "That...... It was so cold last night that I saw you shivering, so I moved closer, yes, you brought it yourself......"
Chu Ji had no choice but to explain, but his heart was twisted, it was natural for a man to hug a woman, why did he and Mo Yi'er feel empty-hearted?
"Oooh...... That's it......" Mo Yi'er lowered her head, it seemed that it was too cold last night, and she leaned over if there was a warm place, but this can be regarded as taking the initiative to give her arms and hug, right? Mrs. ...... Shame on you. She rejected people before, but now what's going on! "I, I'm going to cook breakfast first!" Mo Yi'er stood up and lowered her head and was about to leave without looking at the road, so she asked Chu Ji to pull her back.
couldn't help laughing, he knew that Mo Yi'er would be shyer than him. "Slow down, you forgot that this is in the tree, I'll take you down."
"Good!" Mo Yi'er glanced at the tree, fortunately Chu Wei grabbed herself in time, if she planted it, she would have to break the phase.
Habitually lying on Chu Jiong's back, let him slide down the tree trunk on his back, to be honest, this action is really like a gorilla carrying a baby orangutan! But this gorilla's back is broad enough and strong enough to have an absolute sense of security.
Breakfast is boiled eggs with warm water, Mo Yi'er thought to herself, when should I catch a few cows back, according to the size of the cows here, the milk production of a cow in a day is absolutely amazing, the clansmen drink some milk, the body should be stronger! In other words, she is still so small, even her breasts, Chu Ji and Man Ge have questioned it several times, asking her why she is not always long! Spirit, she's past the age of a chief, isn't she?
Speaking of which, this time she followed Chu Wei out, quite a bit of a woman dressed as a man, her chest was covered with animal skin, her hair was shorter than that of men, and she was so short, I believe many people would not see that she was a woman!
