Chapter 3: The Nameless Tribe III
This time it was much more difficult than I had imagined, except that when it was dark, the qi in my belly only swam five times in my lower abdomen. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Although it was slow, it still worked, and the small amount of warm current that poured out of my abdomen spread into my body, which made my body feel less painful, and my strength was restored, so that I could turn my arms and legs. But I still didn't have the strength to sit up.
Clusters of fire flickered outside the hut, and several figures shook outside the door, whispering that I could not understand words, and from time to time there were a few cheerful laughs, presumably sent by Ramru to watch over me.
Lying on the grass bunk, I reached out and touched the shadow chasing sword on the edge of the grass bunk, and placed it close to my body. I don't know why, but now that I touch the Shadow Chasing Sword, I feel inexplicably relieved in my heart, and I always feel that with it, I am not afraid of anything.
I regained some strength, I moved my right arm to my chest, maybe because my internal strength had not yet recovered, and when I lifted my right arm, I felt much heavier than before.
Stretching my head slightly, I looked at my right arm now, and at this time the whole right arm was wrapped tightly by the wide green leaves, and even five fingers were tightly wrapped. I bent my fingers, but I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, and I didn't feel much pain when the sharp nails touched the palms of my hands.
Through the tangled leaves, I felt like I could see the scales on my arms, but my heart was panicking. My right arm was scratched by a mermaid, and their venom contained poison, and it stands to reason that my body could resist it, but why did it look like this? Could it be that it was caused by the special blood in their venom? It wasn't blood, it was poison?
But it doesn't make sense, if it's poison, how can it make my arm change and my body be safe? Or is it that Ato's black medicine worked for me, so the venom only stayed on my arm and didn't spread to my whole body?
I can't think of why I think so. At this time, I couldn't help but think of Su Qingyao and Shaobai Daoren, if they were there, maybe I would be able to know what happened to my arm. But what about them now, are they out of the swamp of death?, I let out a long sigh.
As he watched the roof of the shed with hysteria, the door of the shed opened, and Atto and four men with strong physiques and painted faces entered. Atto walked up to me and squatted down, made a gesture of eating with his hands to his mouth, stretched out his arms and waved them above his head for a while, and said, "God, the bear we beat eats." ”
The eating action she did was easy for people to understand, but I couldn't understand what I wanted to express later, so I nodded and said, "Okay, Ato." ”
Seeing me nodding, Atto seemed very happy, and said a few words to the four people beside him, and the four of them separated and walked to the ends of the straw shop under me, and actually lifted the whole straw shop along with me at once. Only then did I realize that under the straw shop where I was lying was a wooden plank, with two wooden handles protruding from each end of the board to facilitate lifting. But the plank seemed to be heavy, and I saw that the four men carrying the plank were all full of strength, and walked tremblingly towards the door.
When I got out of the shack, I felt that the air between my nose suddenly became fresher, probably after staying in the shack for a long time, even my chest was no longer so dull.
At this time, it was a little late in the sky outside the door, and there was still afterglow in the sky, but because of the torches lit everywhere outside the door, the sky looked dull and dark. Looking around, I realized that the place where they lived was actually a shelter from the wind near the mountains, and the shack where I lived was at the foot of the mountain, and there were many shacks along the foot of the mountain on both sides. From the outside, these shacks are much simpler, just a fence with a grass roof, and at first glance, these shacks are the same as the pigsty of the Central Plains peasants, and they are even more dilapidated, fragile as if a gust of wind could blow them down.
Seven or eight men with torches were waiting at the door, and when they saw us coming out, Atto led them to the foot of the hill on one side. I lay on the grass and looked around, the mountain next to it was not very high, it was a small hill, the shacks at the foot of the mountain were not neatly built, they were built randomly, and there was no discipline at all, and on one side of the mountain was a dense old forest. The woods were thick and broad-leafed, and they were full of twisted vines, and even in the dim light I could see a large tree bearing red round fruit.
After walking a distance along the foot of the mountain, we were greeted by an open meadow. At this time, nearly 100 people gathered on the meadow, old and young, men and women, gathered together in a large circle, and in the center of the circle was a vigorous bonfire. Ramru and the old man were there, and the group of people were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be extremely happy.
It should be all the people in their tribe gathered here, if you look at it this way, their tribe is not very big, it can be said to be a small tribe. Seeing us coming, Ramru stood up, called out to me, and pointed to him, and Ato, understanding, ordered the four men carrying the planks to place me in the open space beside Ramru, and helped me to sit up from the straw.
Do they usually eat together like this? I couldn't help but wonder as I looked at the people around me. They were all covered with paint, some on their arms, some on their legs, and some all over their bodies. I don't know what kind of paint it is, but it's red, black, and white, and I don't know what it means to them, but I think they all look weird in the light of the fire, especially the beast teeth and bones hanging on their bodies, which makes them a little more weird.
When I looked at them, they were all looking at me, and many of them were whispering and pointing at me. I saw a number of young women and children in the group of them, and one of them, a child close to me, who was bringing me water today, was crouching over the side of a young woman, secretly looking at me.
At this time, Ramru looked around, stretched out his arms and said in a loud voice, and after speaking, the hundred or so people gathered around the place cheered in unison. On the right hand side of Atto and I, seven or eight men sat upright on the ground, each holding two short sticks in their hands, and hollow broken logs in front of them, and when the cheers rang out, these seven or eight men struck the short sticks in their hands on the hollow log in front of them.
They're actually beating music.
Although the sound of the wooden sticks hitting the log is unusually monotonous, their striking technique is very skillful and rhythmic, and the sound of the beating is indeed a kind of music.
I often drink and enjoy music with people in Chenzhou City, and I have heard a lot of music in the past year, and I have heard a lot of music like them beating logs for the first time, which can be said to be extremely poor. But this rhythmic beating sound fell on the ears of a group of them, and it seemed to arouse the joy in their hearts. The song began to play, and their cheers grew louder, and dozens of people got up around the campfire, laughing and dancing, while humming a very neat sound that I could not understand. It's like singing.
I was looking dumbfounded, only to see a dozen thick-shouldered men carrying a huge black bear to the campfire, this black bear had long since died, but it was unusually fat, and a dozen people carried it almost unsteadily. Most of its skin has been peeled off, and it no longer bleeds. The dozen or so men were quite nimble with their hands and feet, holding rough short knives in their hands, and placed the black bear carcass by the bonfire, so they separated the black bear, put it on the shelf, and roasted it piece by piece on the bonfire.
The venue was lively, and more people jumped around the bonfire, which was even more noisy than the streets of Chenzhou City. Ramru approached me and said with a smile, while Ato, who was sitting on my right, quickly explained: "The bear we beat, let's eat together, let you ......" She said this but couldn't speak, just pointed to my body.
I was a little stunned. She wanted to make my body get better as soon as possible, and although she couldn't say it clearly, I could already guess what she meant, and I don't know why, but my heart suddenly warmed up at this moment. I looked at her and Ramru and smiled, "Thank you." ”
I still wanted to say something more like "grateful", but I was afraid that they wouldn't understand, so I swallowed the words that came to my lips. At this time, Atto handed me a wooden scoop, smiled, and said, "Drink." ”
I couldn't help but laugh a little as I looked at the wine in the wooden scoop. I saw that the wooden scoop in the pit was filled with a very muddy wine, and I didn't know what it was made of, it was like muddy water in the river, but the smell of wine was very strong.
I lowered my head and took a sip, and as soon as the wine entered my mouth, I felt a spicy smell of wine rushing to my throat, and before I swallowed a sip of wine, my face was already a little hot.
I was secretly amazed, and thought to myself that this kind of wine was really strong. But seeing Ramru and them drinking such wine as freely as drinking water, I couldn't help but be heroic in my heart, and swallowed it violently, but I felt hot all over my body, like being burned by fire, and tears almost flowed out.
Probably seeing my embarrassment, Ramru and Ato, who were around them, laughed, and a few people around me who had looked at me a little strangely, but now they all let go of me, and they all raised their drinks to me to show their friends.
I don't know how to taste wine, and I'm even more unaccustomed to their kind of wine, but I'm also a must-drinker, and I drink it with them. In the middle of the wine, the black bear meat was also roasted, and I ate a few bites of bear meat while I was slightly drunk, but the smell of the wine in my mouth was not even the taste of the chewed meat.
"When you are drunk, you will show all kinds of life. "This is what I often heard the shopkeeper of the Eight Immortals Building say in Chenzhou City, but I was drunk but I fell on my head, and I don't know if I used to be ugly.
And now, I don't think about it so much anymore, watching them dance happily, listening to their jerky tunes in my ears, I don't know why, but I just want to get drunk and rest.
