Let Go Of That Primordial Man

With a basin of clear mountain spring water in front of him, Niu Xu carefully looked at himself, his reflection in the water.

Today is already the eighth day he has come to the Blackstone Tribe. Just now, he felt that the wound on his head and face should have recovered; All the gauze was removed.

Then, Cai thoughtfully brought Niu Xu a basin of clear water so that Niu Xu could see how he recovered his hair; as for the mirror, Cai expressed surprise, what is that?

The injuries on the head and face recovered very well. The larger wounds still had part of the blood scabs, and the smaller wounds even the blood scabs fell off naturally, revealing the newly grown pink skin underneath.

Niu Xu didn't move the wound on his shoulder, because he knew the old saying that it takes a hundred days to hurt the bones and tendons. No matter how fast he recovered from the broken bone on his shoulder, he wouldn't heal in less than ten days. Fully restored.

Fortunately, the right hand now has no problems with ordinary activities except for fighting. Niu Xu remembered the promise made to him by Mang of the hunting team a few days ago, and felt that he should almost go with the hunting team.

When Niu Xu found Mang and planned to let the other party fulfill his promise, Mang was whispering something to Kui and Kui; after seeing Niu Xu, Mang said directly: Brother Niu Xu, we will hold a meeting tomorrow night. After the ceremony of honoring the ancestors, after the ceremony, I can take you to hunt.

Although Niu Xu couldn't figure out why he wanted to follow the hunting team and go to the mountains farther to see why he had to hold an ancestor worship ceremony; but he reckoned that this might be the tradition of the Black Stone tribe Let them toss.

But what he didn't expect was that this ceremony was so grand, and the members of the Blackstone Tribe treated their ancestors with such dedication...

Before dawn, the entire Blackstone tribe got up early and began to get busy; today, only a small number of people from the picking team and hunting team set off early in the morning, and the rest joined the action to clean up the tribe middle.

The women cleaned their huts and cleaned out all the garbage that had accumulated for an unknown amount of time; the men used wooden shovels and rattan baskets to clean up all kinds of excrement and garbage in the village, and then used The rattan basket carried the whole basket of loess from the outside, and scattered it thinly on the only road in the village.

After some cleaning, the hut is still the hut before, and the village is still the small village before, but it seems that the overall feeling makes Niu Xu feel more comfortable.

At noon, the picking and hunting teams who had gone out came back one after another; for the sacrifice held at night, they did not go too far to the mountains and forests, for fear of missing this extremely important sacrifice to them.

The picking team brought back a lot of fresh wild fruits and a lot of bright flowers. Besides two ordinary wild deer, the hunting team only brought back a wild wolf that was bigger than an adult Tibetan mastiff.

It is worth mentioning that this huge wild wolf was still alive when it was brought back, and it was tightly bound by several strong vines; It took a lot of effort to catch him...

They were busy working until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole Blackstone tribe finally cleaned up the small village where they lived; then, they started to toss themselves again.

*****

Come on, Brother Niu Xu, let's take a bath together. Kui greeted Niu Xu loudly.

For a moment, Niu Xu thought that his ears were hallucinating, so that he heard the impossible words that appeared in Kui's mouth.

Members of the Blackstone tribe, or these primitive people, still have the habit of taking a bath? At least in Niu Xu's impression, he has traveled back and forth here three times, and he has never discovered or heard that they have this kind of living habit.

In his memory, there are more members of the hunting team. Even if he came back from outside with blood all over his body, he just wiped it with his fur indiscriminately, and then fell asleep after eating.

He couldn't help asking loudly: You mean taking a bath?

Of course, if you don't wash yourself clean, how can you have the nerve to worship the spirits of your ancestors; our Blackstone tribe used to be a large tribe, how could it be like some tribes here, never take a bath for the rest of your life, we don't say anything every year I will also wash it three or five times. Kui replied affirmatively.

At the same time, this guy's face is filled with a strong sense of pride that Lao Tzu's ancestors were rich, as well as a sense of restraint as a civilized person.

After finishing speaking, the impatient Kui pulled Niu Xu's arm and ran out of the village quickly, without any intention of letting Niu Xu go back to bring towels, soap and other toiletries.

A mile or so away from the right side of the small village, there is a small mountain stream, which is used by the entire Heishi tribe for water; Half a child, almost all of them are already here.

In the cold autumn wind, the men of the Heishi tribe directly stripped themselves naked, then jumped into the mountain stream, and rubbed their bodies vigorously; with their movements, the originally clear mountain spring quickly turned black, and then Downstream.

The men washed very carefully. They used cold mountain spring water to rub their skin until it turned red before giving up. It took more than half an hour for this kind of work.

Seeing this, Niu Xu, who had never taken a bath since crossing over, had to muster up the courage to take off his clothes and plunge into the cold mountain spring water; He made excuses for his behavior, but after the gauze on his head and face was removed, if he didn't take a bath again, even he couldn't justify himself.

But compared to the men of the Black Stone Tribe, who were as physically fit as animals, Niu Xu only stayed in the mountain spring water for three to five minutes before he couldn't help but escaped from the water, causing a burst of laughter behind him...

After the men have washed, it is the turn of the women and children in the tribe. It seems that even the newly weaned cubs here do not have the concept of bathing in hot water; after the men of the tribes have washed and returned to the village, it is their turn. Take the child and walk towards the mountain stream.

Cai wait a minute. Niu Xu stopped Cai, then rummaged through the hut to find his own soap, and stuffed it into Cai's hand.

In fact, Niu Xu didn't have any unbearable thoughts in his heart. In fact, he was very grateful for Lai Cai's care for him in the past few days; it could even be said that he respected her as a big sister, so he thought it was very reasonable to give him a piece of soap. things.

However, amidst the smile on Cai's face and the booing of many women, he knew that he had committed suicide again! Let them misunderstand, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really has no other ideas...
