Chapter 59: The Great Harvest Sacrifice
The arrival of the leader tribe has made the atmosphere much more depressed, and the tribe that has been proud before has also quieted down a lot, and everyone is waiting for tomorrow's harvest sacrifice.
Except for Mo Yi'er, the other tribesmen were sincerely praying, thanking the gods for bringing them rich food, and even more thanking the gods for bringing them Mo Yi'er. Up to now, including Chu Jiong, they are very convinced that Mo Yi'er is a person sent by the gods. It's Mo Yi'er, who brings them a completely different life!
Mo Yi'er missed the little pom-pom in the night after the hustle and bustle, with this guy, the night would not be so cold......
"What? Can't sleep? Chu Wei lay beside Mo Yi'er and asked.
"Well, I wonder what happened to the little pom-pom?"
"It's going to be fine, this little guy is very clever, maybe there's something going on!"
"Will it ...... Is there any danger encountered, Chu Jiong, you say, will he be eaten? Mo Yi'er said worriedly, and many bad thoughts flashed through her mind for a moment.
"Mo Yi'er, don't think nonsense!" Chu Wei couldn't answer her, the little pom-pom was a small animal, and it was very possible to be eaten. Although this little guy is very clever and spiritual, he is too small after all, and when he encounters a larger beast, he can swallow him with one mouth.
"Alas! This guy hasn't let me worry since I raised him. Mo Yi'er complained, but she was more worried.
Chu Wei stretched out his arm and took Mo Yi'er's body into his arms, and most of the animal skins on his body were also covered by her. "Sleep, tomorrow is the big harvest sacrifice, you must ensure good spirits, don't let the gods think that you are not having a good time."
"Okay, I got it." Mo Yi'er's cheeks were a little hot, it was not the first time that the two of them had been so close, but she still couldn't help blushing and heartbeating, maybe this was the feeling of heartbeat! Mo Yi'er has now gradually affirmed that her feelings for Chu Wei have gone beyond ordinary friendship!
Mo Yi'er hadn't slept well for a long time, so Chu Ji kept looking at her until she was sure that she was really asleep, and then she was willing to close her eyes. If Mo Yi'er made a slight movement at night, he would also wake up and help her tuck the animal skin and comb her hair that was blown up. Sometimes he would look at her by the light of the campfire, never knowing that someone would be so clean and immaculate that people could not get enough of it all the time.
Mo Yi'er opened her eyes in the morning glow, her body was warm, the morning glow was very beautiful, the sky was gray-white, and the morning sun like salted egg yolk was slowly rising, especially energetic and vigorous. This made Mo Yi'er feel a lot better, she silently prayed for the little pom-pom, and at the same time cheered for herself, hoping that she would be like this rising sun. She got up quietly, not wanting to wake up the clansmen, but as soon as she moved, Chu Wei also woke up and smiled at her, and her warm smile made her feel happy. "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Nothing, remembered. Chu Jiong, thank you for taking care of me these days, I'm fine, I figured it out, the little pom-pom will definitely come back, I should concentrate on what I have to do. ”
"Hehe, it's best if you think like this." Chu Wei felt some comfort in his heart, Mo Yi'er had been holding on hard before, even if she said that she was fine, how could he not see the dimness in her eyes? But at this moment, Mo Yi'er was really fine.
"Are you going to get up too? Let's go hunting and make breakfast! ”
"Okay!" Chu Wei stood up and draped the animal skin on Mo Yi'er's shoulder. "There is dew in the morning, you are a woman, don't get cold."
"Thank you!" Mo Yi'er smiled back at Chu Jiong, and the two walked quietly side by side, past the clansmen, and went to a place where no one was resting not far away.
The vicinity of the altar is uninhabited all year round, and only the tribes of each tribe come once during the harvest sacrifice, so there is a lot of prey, and yesterday morning it was easy to catch a hare, and today it was to catch two pheasants.
The pheasant can fly, but it is not easy to catch, Chu Ji chased them for a while, and then injured them with a stone to catch up. Mo Yi'er remembered the slingshot she used to play with when she was a child, which seemed to be also applicable to hunting, but the power was limited and not suitable for hunting large prey. If the women with little strength can use it to fight a dozen small prey, in addition, they can also make some small traps to catch prey or something. Well, as soon as you get back to the tribe, you have to start taking action.
Breakfast is a pheasant stew with mushrooms, which is also an excellent dish in the 21st century, and the chicken soup is delicious, and with the mushrooms, the smell wafts far away, and the impact of yesterday's hare meat on other tribes is greater. Someone couldn't hold back and came to ask.
"Leader Chu Jiong, what kind of food are you cooking? Why does it smell so good? ”
"It's just a pheasant, nothing special."
"Can a pheasant be cooked so good? The women of our tribe are much worse when boiled than roasted. ”
"Hehe, maybe it's a different way to cook it!" Chu Wei said with a smile, if this pheasant is just boiled in white water, there will be no roasted fragrant. Mo Yier's cooking method is incomparable to everyone! If they were to let the people of other tribes see the many foods that Mo Yi'er cooked, they would have to drop their jaws in shock. At this time, Chu Wei felt proud and proud, such Mo Yi'er was the woman he took a fancy to and stayed in the tribe, no one could compare!
Not long after breakfast, the harvest sacrifice began, and the clansmen of all tribes were close to the altar, but according to their identities, ordinary clansmen had to lean outside, and Mo Yi'er followed Chu Jiong, so he had the opportunity to approach the altar.
The altar is about thirty square meters, it is made of large stones accumulated, each stone weighs about a thousand gold, and the method of building it up is very rough, so the altar is not flat, Mo Yi'er looked at it below, and wondered if it was possible that the altar would collapse suddenly.
However, it turned out that Mo Yier's worries were unnecessary.
Strathra first came to the altar, then slowly knelt down, and the few people she had brought into the altar followed her and knelt respectfully. "Great God, I, the leader of the Flowing Cliff tribe, have come to thank you with my people and the small tribes. Thank you, O gods, for the food you have brought us, and please bless you...... Balabala! Strathra said a lot of words of thanks and blessings, and Mo Yi'er only felt that she was back to when she was in school in the 21st century, when the school leaders spoke very the stage, and almost none of their students could listen to it, and they were completely drowsy.
