Chapter 34: Imi's Wedding
BIG CHIEF IAN RETURNED TO HIS COUNTRY YARD, BUBU-5 WAS STILL SLOW, BUT KEKE-6 GAVE HIM A LOT OF SURPRISES.
KEKE-6 is actually a deformed computer person, one day, the big chief felt tired, wanted to rest for a while, originally wanted to take out the rocking chair to use, but I didn't expect KEKE-6 to click for a while, the whole body turned, and it became a recliner, so that Yi'an lay on it, it was really comfortable!
Later, Ian discovers that KEKE-6 can also be transformed into a wheelchair and carry herself around, which is so convenient, and Ian gradually likes KEKE-6 and gradually becomes inseparable from his help.
BUBU-5 does not have these advanced features, but is still willing to follow the Great Chief, and most of the time he can't keep up with the pace of the march, so he can only chase after him from a distance.
Imi also has a lot of affection for BUBU-5, because she has been playing with BUBU-5 since she was a child, and when the adults are busy, only BUBU-5 is willing to take her out to play, whether it is by the river outside the village or at the foot of the mountain in the distance, there are many happy childhood memories of Ibu-5.
So when the old servant BUBU-5 is really bored, Imi will take him out on his own initiative, or go to the river to watch the fish, or go for a walk in the woods.
More than two years have passed in a blink of an eye, Yimei is already eighteen years old, Yimei's parents died when she was a child, and it was the big chief Yi'an who raised her and her mute brother Su Mu as adults.
Seeing that Imi and Akarie's relationship is getting closer and closer, Ian feels that it is time for them to get married.
Usually, everyone treats Yimei as the little granddaughter of the big chief, so both the nearby villagers and government officials attach great importance to this Yimei wedding.
The wedding is scheduled for the next month, on the fifth day of the fourth month, which is a very important festival for the iron people - the Four Feather God Festival, which is said to be the day when the Four Feather Heavenly Sword was cast.
Akalie requested that the wedding be held in accordance with the traditional rites of the Futetsuren, and wanted to take the opportunity to convert to the belief in the Red Iron Sacred Tree and become a true Futetsuren.
Yimei is a very traditional Futetsu girl, and she also very much hopes to get the blessing and protection of the Red Iron God Tree and Futetsu ancestors through a traditional classical wedding.
Ian agreed, and he was willing to organize one last grand ceremony in his lifetime to witness Izami and Akalie become a pair of young people who love each other happily.
The fifth day of the fourth month arrived, and early in the morning, before the sun appeared, at the foot of Shitie Mountain, four or five thousand people had already gathered.
All the people, not only the villagers, but also the people who came to the government to participate in the ceremony wore the traditional costumes of the Futie people, and the wide Tibetan black robes were embroidered with the patterns of sacred birds and beasts, and the high brim was also inlaid with ornaments like divine birds.
Both men and women hold candles in their hands or delicate utensils containing their own handmade sacrificial pastries.
As soon as the sun appeared, the ceremony began, and as usual, the Great Chief Yi'an walked up to the altar and recited an enthusiastic eulogy aloud under the statue of Futie.
After that, there was a large section of singing and dancing to the gods, dozens of divine envoys wearing mysterious bird and beast masks and holding various bronze weapons danced the song of the gods, and the people below also swayed and danced together.
Then began the refuge ritual of Chiriel.
The Great Chief Yi'an summoned Chilie to the bottom of the Red Iron God Tree and asked loudly, "Chilie, are you willing to join the ranks of the Iron Lifters and become a member of the Iron Lifters?" ”
Akalie said in the loudest voice, "I am willing to be a Futetsuren, and I am willing to fight for Futetsuren together with Yimi." ”
Yi'an nodded, motioned for Akalie to kneel down facing the statue of Futie, and prayed with him.
Next, Yimei walked over with a black wooden tray in both hands, there was a sharp knife in the tray, she knelt down in front of Yi'an, the big chief Yi'an took the knife, took off a small piece of skin the size of a palm from Chilie's left and right shoulders, and put it on the tray.
Akalie held back the pain in his heart, and the sweat on his forehead kept dripping, but he didn't snort.
Yi'an then used a knife to cut through the body of the Red Iron God Tree, then removed two palm-sized pieces of bark, placed them on a tray, and used a small bowl to pick up the white sap oozing from the tree.
Yi'an carefully pasted the two pieces of bark on Chilie's two shoulders, the size and shape were just right, and then Yi'an dipped his fingers in the white juice in the small bowl and applied them to Chilie's shoulder, and the wound on Chilie's shoulder immediately stopped hurting.
The Great Chief Ian picked up the two pieces of Chilie's skin, carefully placed them where he had just taken the bark, and then smeared the body of the sacred tree with white sap as well.
At this time, a gust of wind full of fragrance blew on the top of the mountain, blowing the red iron sacred tree, and with the swing of the sacred tree, two pairs of dancing divine birds flew out of the sacred tree; The mythical bird kept chirping while fanning two pairs of colorful feathers in the air.
It didn't take a few minutes for the wounds of Chilie and the Red Iron God Tree to heal, and Chilie instantly felt that his body was full of infinite power, and he couldn't help but touch the pair of small wings with his hand back, and found that they had become a metal-like material, and the edges of the wing feathers were abnormally sharp.
Akalie's refuge ceremony was over, followed by Ibami's wedding.
The ceremony still begins with the Grand Chief's eulogy, after which Imi and Akarie walk hand in hand to the altar and bow down to the Red Iron Sacred Tree at the direction of Ian.
At the foot of the Red Iron God Tree, a carpet had been laid out of dried leaves, and Imi and Akalie took off their clothes and lay naked on the thick leaves.
The Great Chief turned to face the statue of Futie and began to chant the wedding hymn.
At this time, from the high canopy of the sacred tree, ten four-winged divine birds flew out, followed by dozens of very small divine birds.
The ten larger birds, some with slender and soft branches, some with stacks of leaves, flew down the trees one after another, and began to build tree houses around Imi and Akarye, while the small birds brought flowers of various colors from afar, some of which were scattered on their bodies, and some of which were interspersed with different positions in the treehouses.
It didn't take long for a four-pillar spired treehouse to be built, and the birds began to fly around the treehouse, chirping, and the whole ceremony was filled with a mysterious, peaceful atmosphere.
The people at the foot of the mountain have also been dancing along with each other, and they all participate in this grand ceremony with an extremely pious and joyful mood, which is a kind of spiritual world that every Futie person needs.
The Ibero-American wedding ceremony lasted nearly an hour; Both the Divine Bird and the Treehouse disappear, and Idami and Akalie complete their marriage union.
At this time, a villager hurriedly ran from the bottom of the mountain, and he shouted as he ran, "Oh no, the village is on fire." ”
Someone asked, "Whose house is on fire?" ”
The man replied, "It's Waren's house on fire." ”
Yi'an heard that his grandson's house was on fire, so he planned to hurry down the mountain to check, but his legs and feet were really inconvenient to move now.
It just so happened that the two computer servants were by his side, and KEKE-6 immediately turned into a wheelchair, sat the big chief, and ran down the hill as if flying.
BUBU-5 is still the same, although it can't catch up, it refuses to lag behind, and it is close behind.
There was no distance of 200 meters to run out, there was a diagonal ditch in the middle of the road down the mountain, KEKE-6 couldn't dodge, one wheel rolled into the ditch, and was stuck and couldn't move, Yi'an was thrown out of the wheelchair instantly, and his head flew towards a boulder on the side of the road, if he did, his head would definitely be smashed and he died.
At the last moment, everyone was overwhelmed and at a loss, but the old computer servant BUBU-5 rushed over from the side, stopped the big chief Yi'an Fei and rolled into the deep ditch on the side of the road.
BUBU-5 SAVED YI'AN'S LIFE, BUT LATER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE FIRE AT THE VILLAGE CHIEF'S HOUSE WAS CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT, AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO HUMAN SABOTAGE.
As a result of this accident, BUBU-5 suffered brain damage and later became even more sluggish; And the Great Chief Ian was even more unlucky, he broke his left arm and never got back on his feet.
But the Great Chief Yi'an didn't complain, he thought that all this was providential, he knew that he was already old, and it might not be of much use in the future!
