Chapter 1640: Blessing Day
Two days passed in a flash.
In the past two days, everyone in the tribe has been preparing for the upcoming Blessing Festival, and Xiao Qi, as a tribal princess, naturally has to do something.
The only idler is Li Yao, even if he wants to help Xiao Qi, he doesn't agree.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Li Yao was woken up by Xiao Qi.
"Mr. Hai, the Blessing Festival is about to begin." Xiao Qi leaned into Li Yao's ear and whispered.
In order to get up early, Xiao Qi didn't dare to play too late with Li Yao last night.
Li Yao stretched his waist before getting up and getting dressed slowly.
"Mr. Hai has worked hard, let the concubine serve you and dress." Xiao Qi said softly.
This girl will know a lot, Li Yao muttered in his heart.
When they came downstairs to see that all the old people and children in the tribe were standing in the open space waiting, many of them still holding torches in their hands.
This meeting made Li Yao very embarrassed, and asked in a low voice, "Won't it just wait for the two of us?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Qi nodded, and his face was a little uncomfortable.
"Let's go!" The patriarch didn't ask much, but with a wave of his hand, all the clansmen walked towards the depths of the jungle.
The forest dew was heavy in the early morning, and everyone walked quite hard.
But even the children didn't complain, this scene reminded Li Yao of the scene when he was a child, following his parents to sweep the tombs of his ancestors.
Maybe it's a kind of inheritance.
In recent years, some experts have advocated the abolition of tomb sweeping, on the grounds that tomb sweeping is not environmentally friendly, which is really out of the ordinary.
Everyone walked in the dense forest for more than two hours before the first rays of sunlight shone down on the horizon.
The clansmen extinguished their torches and continued on their way.
"How much longer?" Li Yao asked in a low voice in Xiao Qi's ear.
"It's almost there." Little Seven Ways.
After walking for another half an hour, as soon as the patriarch stretched out his hand, everyone stopped and quickly pulled out the knives on their bodies to clean up the surrounding weeds.
In the past, the tribe could only use the inferior iron smelted by Zhang Jinxin. Now the equipment of the entire tribe has been upgraded, hoes, scythes and so on.
In less than half an hour, the surrounding weeds were cleared.
Only then did Li Yao realize that the place where they were standing was an altar.
Looking at it carefully, Li Yao still felt that the altar was a little familiar, and he didn't know where he had seen it.
The shamans of the tribe came over and began the blessing ceremony.
At first, Li Yao felt that several wizards were like dancing gods, but when he took a closer look, he found that wizards were very particular about every time they landed.
It was all about a particular pattern on the altar.
"Xiao Qi, do you know what these suddenness are on the altar?" Li Yao asked curiously.
Xiao Qi shook his head, "This altar has existed for countless years, even if my father can't tell the meaning of those suddenness, maybe the wizard will understand some." If you're interested, I'll ask the wizard for you when you get back."
"No, I'll just ask." After Li Yao finished speaking, he continued to stare at the wizard.
When the wizard finished jumping, Li Yao consciously appeared in his mind the patterns that the wizards stepped on.
He was surprised to find that there was a pattern in these patterns.
"Xiao Qi, can I use my phone to take pictures of these patterns on the altar?" Li Yao asked.
"This ......" Xiao Qi looked a little hesitant, "I have to ask my father."
"Okay, you go and ask." Li Yao said.
When he comes here, he is sure to observe the etiquette of the tribe.
After a while, Xiao Qi returned with a face full of embarrassment: "Father said that the altar is sacrosanct, but ...... You can wait until the ceremony is over to shoot."
Xiao Qi can say this, which is enough to see that she attaches great importance to Li Yao.
"Thank you!" Li Yao said.
The blessing ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and the patriarch led the tribesmen back from the same route.
It won't be long before the altar becomes overwhelmed with jungle weeds, which may have been a way for the tribe to protect the altar.
Not long after leaving, Xiao Qi touched Li Yao's arm and signaled that he could act on his own.
"Oops, I'm sick to my stomach, let's go first." Li Yao said.
"Go, I'll be waiting for you here." Little Seven Ways.
Naturally, the villagers do not take such small things to heart, and the people who live in the forest have always taken them from the forest and returned them to nature.
Li Yao quickly burrowed into the grass, and when the large army was far away, he rose into the air and returned to the altar.
Taking out your mobile phone is a meal of card shooting.
Although there is no signal here, the new Kirin mobile phone launched by Ren Tengyun has already realized satellite calls.
Li Yao quickly dialed Aung San Suyi's phone.
"Hey, Mr. Hai, are you and Xiao Qi still in the forest?" On the other end of the phone came Aung San's voice.
"Suyi, I have something I want you to help with." Li Yao made a long story short, so as not to be found by the tribesmen that he was taking pictures.
"You always say it." Aung San Suyi Road.
"I'll send some pictures over, and you can use the computer to stitch together the pictures in the order I sent them." Li Yao said.
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Li Yao sent the photos taken.
"Are you done?" Xiao Qi didn't know when he jumped out, which scared Li Yao, fortunately it was Xiao Qi, if it was other people in the tribe, it would be a big trouble.
"Alright, let's go back." Li Yao said.
Back at the tribe's residence, the patriarch suddenly patted Li Yao on the shoulder, "Come to the room with me."
Yes???
Li Yao is a bit of a thief, could it be that he was discovered?
After thinking about it, it shouldn't be, this patriarch is just an ordinary person, how can he avoid himself and Xiao Qi?
Taking a few deep breaths, Li Yao followed the patriarch to the room.
"Patriarch, what are you looking for from me?" Li Yao was the first to ask.
"I'm old and want you to be the patriarch of the tribe, what do you think?" The patriarch asked.
Li Yao was stunned on the spot.
He can't stay here, how can he be the patriarch?
"Thank you Patriarch for looking at it, but I'm ...... I still have my family out there, and I really can't take on this responsibility." Li Yao excused himself.
