The party is a routine of the tribe, whenever the hunters return with a full load, the tribe will have a grand party, everyone is happy, and the hunters also take the opportunity to relax. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before the start of the party, there is a sacrificial ceremony, presided over by the sorcerer Deli Kun, the hunters sacrifice their prey to the gods, praying for the blessing of the gods, every time they go out hunting, there is a rich harvest, the tribe is safe, and the people are prosperous.
After the sacrificial ceremony, the party officially began, everyone gathered around the bonfire, drank wine in a big bowl, and ate meat, a bit like the meaning of Shuibo Liangshan.
It's just that Shuibo Liangshan is plundering passing merchants, and they are just hunting wild animals.
When the wine was hot, all the men and women left the stage and began to sing and dance around the bonfire.
The singing is very rhythmic, the dance movements are intense, and the frequency is very fast.
Wang Ning was dizzy when he looked at this dance, knowing that he couldn't dance, so he simply sat next to him, drinking and enjoying the song and dance.
The wine is made by the aborigines themselves from wild fruits, the alcohol content is not high, the taste is slightly sour, and the taste is barely acceptable.
Seeing Wang Ning sitting next to him alone, Chief Pendit also withdrew from the dance ranks, and came over with a wine bowl: "Brother Bald Brother, why don't you dance?"
Wang Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't jump." ”
Pendit laughed and said, "It's okay if you don't jump, let's drink." ”
After the two of them had three bowls in a row, Pendit smiled and said, "Brother, are you interested in going hunting with us?" ”
Wang Ning nodded and agreed: "Okay, I feel bored when I stay in the tribe every day, and I want to go out with you." ”
Listening to Lilina say that she jumped from the plane, and then heard a loud bang, Wang Ning estimated that the plane might have crashed, so she also wanted to take the opportunity to go out and see if she could find the wreckage of the plane.
If the wreckage of the plane can be found, maybe some information about Wang Ning's identity can be found on the wreckage of the plane.
After living in the tribe for a few days, Wang Ning also had a general understanding of the situation of the entire tribe.
This is a small tribe, called the Sandy tribe, men, women and children combined, less than 100 people, still in the most primitive fishing and hunting social state, the men are responsible for the collective hunting, hunting income, everyone equally, to maintain the survival of the tribe.
The women were responsible for giving birth, taking care of the housework, picking wild vegetables and so on.
In this case, Wang Ning felt that going out hunting with everyone was also what he should do, and he couldn't be a big man by himself, staying in the tribe all day long, waiting for others to feed.
Pendit is responsible for the eating, drinking, and Lazar of the entire tribe, of which eating is the biggest problem, and one more hunter will have more harvest.
What's more, Peng Dite listened to Lilina say that Wang Ning is still a master of flying stone magic skills.
The two sides hit it off and shook hands.
Two days later, Wang Ning followed Pendit and his group of more than 30 hunters to go out hunting together.
The hunters of the tribe, the hunting tools, were very primitive, each with a javelin, and some nets.
The javelin is made of a straight hardwood branch, the small branches are removed, the front is sharpened, the tip is coated with some anesthetic drug, and the net is woven with very strong vines.
Wang Ning had just arrived, and it was too late to make javelins, so when she was about to go out, Lilina used a small animal skin bag and filled a bag of pebbles and handed it to Wang Ning.
Thirty or so people walked for several hours until they came to the edge of the Sandy tribe's traditional hunting grounds.
This place is very suitable for hunting, the savannah is overgrown with half-man-tall weeds, at this time just after the rainy season, the weeds have begun to turn yellow, and at a glance, the reckless and vast expanse is endless.
The grassland is surrounded by rolling hills with lush trees, mostly low bushes, which are suitable for wildlife and hunting.
When they came to a hill and it was time for lunch, Pendit told everyone to rest in their place, and told the five black boys to get something to eat.
The five black lads, holding a net woven of vines, kept their noses moving, sniffing east and west, and after a while, they found a burrow where the warthogs were hiding, and put the net at the mouth of the hole, and then found some branches, lit them, and threw them into the hole.
A few minutes later, a warthog, half the size of the warthog, howled out of the hole, plunged headlong into the net, struggling desperately, but could not break free.
Everyone slaughtered the warthog, ate a meal of wart pork, and continued to walk deeper into the hunting ground.
After entering the hunting ground, everyone became very careful in their movements, for fear of making a big movement and scaring away the prey.
Wang Ning also followed everyone's example, tiptoed and sneaked, and followed closely behind Pendit.
After walking a few kilometers forward, in the grass in front of him, more than a dozen Thompson gazelles loomed into the background, and Pendit suddenly raised his right hand and signaled everyone to stop.
Next, Pendit commanded the crowd to slowly disperse, outflanking the Thompson Gazelle and slowly approaching forward.
When everyone outflanked Thompson's gazelle fifty or sixty meters, Pendit raised the javelin in his hand high and threw it violently, and everyone was almost synchronized with Pendit, throwing the javelin in his hand.
More than thirty javelins, whistling and flying towards the Thompson gazelle that was grazing.
Thompson's gazelles were very vigilant, and not long after the javelin flew out, they spotted it, and these herbivores jumped up and fled in all directions.
The javelins that were thrown, after the Thompson gazelle moved, lost their accuracy, and most of them missed, only one javelin, and the blind cat hit one Thompson gazelle like a dead mouse, and the rest of the javelins were all staggered to the ground.
Even if the javelin that hit Thompson Deng Ling, it only injured Thompson's gazelle, and it was not fatal.
Thompson's gazelle, which was hit, escaped with wounds.
The black brothers screamed and rushed forward, retrieved their javelins, and chased the blood trail left by the wounded gazelle.
Wang Ning had no choice but to follow behind the black brothers, running all the way, running for nearly an hour, and finally caught up with the injured gazelle who was put down by narcotic drugs.
The black brothers were tired and panting and sweating profusely, but they were very happy and cheered.
After running wildly for more than an hour, Wang Ning also felt a little tired, and at the same time felt a little incomprehensible in his heart, there were so many black brothers, and it took so much effort to hunt a Thompson gazelle, what is there to be excited about.
As a result, I found out that the black brothers hunted, and the success rate was not high, only less than 30%, and this time they successfully hunted a Thompson gazelle, so they were very happy.
Wang Ning sighed secretly in his heart: "No wonder every time you go out hunting, you go for five or six days, or even ten days, this hunting efficiency is really low, the efficiency is not good, so you have to use time to make up for it." ’
