Chapter 127
The transition from spring to summer is probably the busiest time in this tribe.
The men are not only busy hunting before the autumn cold, storing food for the winter, but also cutting thatch in the wilderness to repair the house. Although the work of the women is relatively easy, they also lead the children to pick mulberries and wild fruits all day long, and go to the mountains and forests Pick up dead branches to make a fire, and sew the animal skins peeled off by men to resist the cold winter.
Chu Ze Shuoxi opened the unique straw door of Si Yang's family, looked at the sky outside and frowned subconsciously.
The ever-changing weather in summer showed again, the sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but she only had to sew a piece of animal skin clothes, and the day turned dark and gloomy.
During thunderstorms, people in the tribe do not go out. Under the pouring and dark sky, they may be attacked by wild animals, or even worse, they will be hit by thunder and lightning from the sky, and then become wild animals. the contents of the belly.
Although man is the spirit of all things, he is no match for disasters from heaven.
After all, mortals are mortals, and it is impossible to easily predict the reason of wind and rain, so Si Yang went out with those men early in the morning.
Speaking of Si Yang, Chu Zeshuo also felt a little unbelievable. She had stayed at her house for several days as promised, but she still had no way of knowing whether she was a man or a woman. She could only judge from her surname that she should belong to this tribe. A member of the mother's family that has gradually declined here.
The struggle between patrilineal and matrilineal is also the struggle of human beings. Killing and conquering have always been the root of evil.
The place she used to stay was filled with these things, which were darker than the sky today.
Those of the same kind who stayed in there together, except for the necessary formal greetings, would never say a word of extraneous words, and those ghosts who got complete from her, only remembered the obsession with things before death, and would only talk to her over and over again. Talking about the things they would never forget even after they died, she listened to them as stories to relieve fatigue, and after listening to them, she became the most rigorous and qualified listener. Over time, she even forgot how to speak, completely All can only listen but not speak.
However, this may not be a bad thing, the trouble comes from the mouth, she has sewed up half of the tongues for too many ghosts who have had their tongues cut off, and she has already heard those ghosts with severed tongues slur their speech.
Other women in the tribe who collected wild fruits and returned home also saw the mutated sky, as if they saw a few ferocious beasts rushing towards them, their faces changed color, and they pointed at the dark sky and let out terrified cries. A woman with a child in her arms even knelt on the ground with a "plop", murmured words of God's blessing, and kowtowed to the muddy ground dried by the scorching sun. The bright red blood came.
The child in her arms was probably frightened by her mother's abnormal behavior. She grabbed her mother's skirt with her little hand and began to cry uncontrollably. The crying ignited the emotions of other women present, thinking that this sudden change in weather might It would deprive the lives of the only men in the tribe who depended for survival, so he couldn't help but wept secretly in worry.
Chu Ze Shuoxi was among the crowd of crying women and children, standing quietly, looking at the treacherous sky with a calm expression.
Apart from people, the only thing that can be feared is the sky.
No matter which one it is, it is all because of worrying about his own life.
Living in the bad land where the dirt accumulated, she couldn't see the true love of the women around her for the men who went hunting.
What she saw was only what those women thought, if they lost the fear of not being able to live alone after losing the man who guaranteed them food and clothing.
People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.
This is the reason why the weak depend on the strong.
After all, it rained.
After the shocking lightning flashed across the sky, with several deafening noises, the pouring rain continued to fall into the small river flowing around the tribe. Then, roaring and flowing into the distance.
The older women in the tribe were persuaded several times by the older elders to go back to rest, but the younger ones were unwilling to let go, so they decided to find their own men, but the respected elders stopped them from leaving, and the two sides argued endlessly At the same time, there was a burst of wild animal roaring from inside the rain curtain.
Those who were still arguing suddenly fell silent. Many people thought that the wild beasts in the forest in the mountain took advantage of the rain to come out to harm people. They were frightened and screamed. When they were about to summon their friends to resist together, a The young woman with the sleeping child in her arms suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "They're back, they're back!"
Everyone was overjoyed, and they really saw the figures of their own men from the rain. Not to mention the pheasants and long-haired rabbits they had hunted on their shoulders, many of them even held one or two of them that were captured alive.
It is undoubtedly the best blessing from heaven to be able to achieve this harvest under such bad weather.
Someone was sent to call those who had returned home, and the other women present happily circled around their man to see what he had brought back.
When there are too many people, the desire/desire hidden in my heart will come out. Apart from seeing what their men bring back, several acquainted women also help their female companions who usually pick fruits with them to look at her. The things brought back by the old man looked at each other and weighed them, only to find that they were all similar things.
In their eyes, because of the bad weather, the one with the most ability could only hunt a few more pheasants and hares than their own men. The faint jealousy hidden in their hearts was about to disappear, and Si Yang, who was pulling a lot of prey, The figure broke into their line of sight.
Walking behind the group of uninterested men, Si Yang looked calm. At the beginning, her figure was completely covered by the men with their hands on their shoulders, so that people didn't notice the huge pile of things she was pulling behind her, but only her People who subconsciously thought that she hadn't got anything, who didn't carry the prey, felt a little contemptuous. When she came close and people saw the prey behind her clearly, they became a little jealous.
A wild horse tied tightly by canes pulled a raft completely tied up with canes behind it, on which a dead tiger slept, two wild boars with bleeding belly wounds, and more than a dozen legs and feet tied up A pheasant hare that cannot escape together.
This could feed the entire tribe for three days, but she was the only one who called.
When the men saw this, they were a little bit unwilling and admired, while the women whose minds were completely captured by these prey were mostly secretly envious of the woman who was dragged home by Si Yang.
As the only surviving member of the mother's family in the tribe, Si Yang didn't communicate with other people very much on weekdays, and only took his own bow to follow the men when they went hunting every day.
The only move that seems to be gregarious is only known to those who went hunting with her. It is just her way of perfunctory the elders of the tribe.
Although she set out to hunt with them, when she got to the forest, she walked away from a distance and chased the game by herself. At first, the older men followed her uneasy, until they saw her shoot an arrow with their own eyes. After the death of a wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh, such concerns disappeared, and she was allowed to go hunting alone.
It's incredible that such a Si Yang chose the evil woman at the west end of the tribe to go back.
The women were jealous and regretful, and a few men who coveted Chu Zeshuo's beauty were actually worthless for Si Yang.
A beautiful woman is like the colorful feathers that adorn the clothes. She can see things that cannot be used. After all, she is not as good as an ordinary-looking woman, but she will help gather wild fruits to feed her children.
Chu Ze Shuoxi who suddenly appeared in the tribe is such a woman, perhaps even more, because other beautiful women are not as evil as her.
Any man who covets her and comes to snatch her home directly will be injured for no reason before he gets close to her, and he doesn't know where the injury is. He just faints suddenly and wakes up shouting loudly. It hurts, even if you invite the older women in the tribe to fight the evil spirits, it doesn't work. It hurts like this for a few days, and then it doesn't hurt for no reason.
The pain came and went quickly, and every man who felt this pain was directly carried back from the outside of Chu Zeshuoxi's living room, once or twice, but it's nothing, after a long time, people can also feel it Here comes the subtleties.
Because of this, it is widely rumored in the tribe that Chu Zeshuoxi was transformed by a little ghost. The timid ones put out their thoughts, and the bolder ones, apart from trying their best to take advantage of her appearance, did not dare to take advantage of her. Take it back.
Unexpectedly, Si Yang didn't care about this and pulled him back.
The expressions of the crowd were delicate, but Si Yang didn't care about these things. When he led the wild horse into the crowd, he kept scanning his eyes, hoping to find a familiar figure.
It's just not as expected, she carefully scanned the crowd two or three times, but couldn't find the person she wanted to see.
The enthusiasm of returning home with a full load dissipated, Si Yang lowered his head, his eyes were a little bit blinded by the heavy rain, and he sadly led the things behind him to walk in the direction of his home.
After walking a few steps, the feeling of the icy cold rain pouring on his head in summer disappeared, and suddenly, his face was a little itchy as if someone had wiped it with soft animal hair. Si Yang opened it curiously and kept closing it tightly. In front of her eyes, Chu Zeshuo was standing upright in front of her.
Holding a lotus leaf picked from nowhere in his hand, he was holding it on top of their heads with one hand. The large lotus leaf played a role of protecting them from the heavy rain.
In the other hand, she was still holding the soft deerskin she had hunted for the first time, and was constantly wiping the rainwater off her face.
In an instant, all the efforts she put in and all the actions she did had extraordinary meaning.
Smiling at her, Si Yang pointed to the string of things behind her, "Look, these are all for you, do you like them?"
Chu Zeshuo nodded.
Si Yang's smile deepened, "This is the first time I please you. Although it is not perfect, there will be a perfect second and third time in the future."
