"Little Snake...... Where's my little snake?" and rejoicing from the joy of receiving the mixture of snake blood and mud, the sacrificial elder exclaimed in surprise when he noticed that the void snake placed by the campfire was gone. Then a circular invisible wave bloomed around it, releasing a pale green brilliance in the eyes.

"No, how could it be?" the sacrificial elder was excited, his body trembled, and he rushed out of the door at a speed faster than the adult strength of the tribe, bringing up the sparks in the sky, the burning charcoal scattered on the ground, the clay pots on the bonfire swaying in the cold wind blowing in from the door, and the passionate dancing posture bloomed with the fire in his heart.

With a 'snap', with the disappearance of the figure of the sacrificial elder, the hanging clay pot finally could not support the passionate swaying of the clay pot, the clay pot shattered to the ground, and the black and red ointment inside splashed, releasing the last passion.

"Long ...... Long...... The elder ...... "Seeing the priest elder rushing into his own courtyard in a hurry, Brother Hao, who was stretching his body, stammered, and cautiously peeked at the other party's face, I really don't know where I provoked the priest elder who easily didn't go out.

"Where is your family?" the sacrificial elder took a breath, his anxious expression disappearing, and he changed to his usual color.

"Ah...... Ahh......h Did he provoke you?" Seeing that the other party didn't look like he was angry, Brother Hao'er's heart that had just been put down, when he heard that he was looking for his own Ah Yi, panic and anger surged into his heart, and his eyes turned black for a while.

"It's over, it's over......"

The fresh morning light, the white crystal snow, and the warm courtyard could no longer give him a trace of beauty, only the two words were subconsciously muttered in his mouth.

It's not how terrible it is to sacrifice to the elders, although he usually has a somewhat gloomy smile, but in fact he is a very kind old man, but I don't know why I wanted to find my own Ah Yi early this morning, the other party's calm face, I don't know how strong the anger is hidden underneath. Brother Hao had no confidence in his heart, he was shocked there, and repeated the word "finished" in his mouth.

"Brother Hao!" The rough voice woke Brother Hao from his fright. Brother Hao, who was confused and at a loss, raised his head and saw the frowning brows of the sacrificial elder.

"Are you coming along?" the sacrificial elder asked again.

"I didn't ...... Got up. Brother Hao'er's voice trembled a little. "Elder...... My family has provoked you, you take care of it, he is still a child, and he is not sensible...... You want to beat, you want to scold, I ...... I'll take it, you're ......"

"That's enough!" Interrupting Brother Hao'er's slightly crying words with another heavy drink, the sacrificial elder frowned, and his originally wrinkled face was like a withered autumn chrysanthemum. The words with a hint of anger rang in the ears of the trembling Brother Hao again. "He didn't mess with me, I asked him for something to say. ”

Brother Hao, who was trembling, was like hearing the sound of a fairy, and his body suddenly relaxed a hundred times. "Really...... Really?"

"What is really fake, you beckoned him out. The sacrificial elder's face was filled with helplessness.

"Ah Yi...... Ah Yi ...... "Brother Hao flew into the house like a lark, shouting about his son. "Stinky cub, get up quickly, the sacrificial elders are here......"

Brother Hao'er's childlike movements and shouts made the sacrificial elders laugh. "This kid is so old, and he still jumps out like a cub. ”

The sacrificial elder stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at this familiar courtyard. As the old man of the tribe, the treasure of the clan, the wise man of the tribe, and the guarantee of the reserve, his responsibility is not light. Every day, I see the intact younger generations enter the mountains, waiting for the tribe to return from the mountains in fear, but I am afraid that I will not find one or a few among the returning clansmen, and this mood has become more and more serious since the death of the old people of the same age in the tribe one by one. I am afraid that one day, I will open my eyes and find that the people who have entered the mountain in their entirety will never come back. The strength of the tribe was lost, and the Konghou clan declined. The old man with the heavy burden could not straighten his waist.

The tribe is strong into the mountains, and only a few are left to be responsible for the strong guards, and the strength is seriously insufficient. After most of the elite entered the mountain, the sacrificial elders had to keep an eye on the tribal villages every day in case of attacks by beasts or other tribes. It is to know the location of each family in the tribe, the area occupied by each house, and the structural layout. This takes up too much of his energy, and he has to be busy with pharmaceuticals every day. These things are all pressed on an old man.

It's not that the tribesmen don't want to share, there are only more than 1,000 people in the Konghou clan, and the tribe is strong and responsible for hunting, and it is their responsibility to eat meat and store grain in winter. The relatively weak members of the tribe are responsible for guarding, and the women are collecting, so the way of survival passed down from generation to generation cannot be changed easily. Pharmaceuticals are tedious, but they require specific capabilities. Wen Chuanting only found that there were a few young people who studied with the sacrificial elders, not to mention the dexterity of their hands and feet, and their strong spiritual strength accounted for a large part of the relationship.

And this is also the reason why the tribesmen, no matter how big or small, respect the sacrifice elders. Because of his protection, his strength, and his wisdom, he is the totem of the tribe, the oldest treasure of the tribe.

Brother Hao'er's trembling and worrying are not only for the child's calf protection, but also for the respect for the elderly.

"Brother Hao'er's Ah Yi ......" The old man standing in the cold wind saw Wen Chuanting walking out of the door, with the snake around his neck that made him love, and his words were a little hesitant.

"Sacrifice to the elders. Ask the other party to greet each other generously. Seeing the vicissitudes of life on the face of the sacrificial elder, and the enthusiasm in the other party's eyes for the snake body on his neck, his body couldn't help but shudder.

"Sacrifice elders, what's the matter? Wen Chuan couldn't stand the other party's eyes, shrunk his neck, and stroked the hanging snake tail with his hand.

"Yes, yes, yes, the house said, it's cold outside. Brother Hao followed the words and tried his best to invite the sacrificial elders to the house.

On the hard dirt floor, a bonfire burned quietly, and Eminem, who asked Chuanting, looked at the clay pot on the bonfire, and when he saw the sacrificial elder enter the house, he took out a small bench out of nowhere and put it in front of the standing sacrificial elder.

“...... Ah Yi ...... "The sacrificial elder looked around the hut, the hut illuminated by the warm bonfire was bright, and the fiery bonfire was dancing, as if he was nervous and hesitant, and he didn't know how to talk to the juniors.

"Ah Yi...... Ah Gong wants to discuss with you......" The sacrificial elder pondered his words. "You see Ah Gong likes your little snake, can you give it to Ah Gong. Ah Gong and you ...... exchange" The sacrificial elder touched his body, his hand hung on his waist, and looked at Ah Yi embarrassedly. Only then did I remember that I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything with me except for some poisonous insects and medicinal powder.

"Nothing to change, a little snake. Ah Yi, to the elders. Go back and catch a few for you. "Maybe I saw the embarrassment of the sacrificial elders, maybe it was just out of respect. Brother Hao couldn't help but reach out and grab the transparent snake coiled around the neck of Wen Chuanting.

"No, it's my playmate, and even the sacrificial elders can't steal a child's things. "Wen Chuan is quite stubborn and dodges Ah Da's big hand.

"Don't rob, don't rob. The sacrificial elder said embarrassedly, and stopped Brother Hao'er, who was chasing his son.

"Ah Gong and you change. The wrinkled face shone with kindness, or embarrassed or not smiling like this for a long time, and the wrinkles on the face of the sacrificial elder seemed a little stiff.
