Chapter 31 The Young Priest
Chapter 31 The Young Priest
Wiping his mouth in vain, he stood up and thanked Xu Fei, then he was in a hurry to leave. He didn't finish his lunch and dinner like before. It seemed that the patriarch was really busy and couldn't come to pick him up. .
"I have to go back and protect Heli, lest he be bullied by the man with white hair and scar!" Bai said seriously, it seemed that many people would really bully the patriarch while he was away.
"Well, if it's okay, you can bring Heli to eat." Xu Fei sent him to the entrance of the cave.
It seems that apart from his great strength, Bai, like Xu Fei, can't jump high or far, and can only catch blind at night.But now that he had a rope ladder, he climbed down smoothly.
Xu Fei looked at Bai's back disappearing into the greenery, and lamented how good it is to be young, even the back is full of youthful flavor.
Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, no matter what troubles you may encounter in the future, it is important to do the work of your subordinates first.
Nagu put in the white salt that he didn't have time to put into the clay pot yesterday. There are five clay pots in their house, the largest one is used to boil water, the medium one is used to stew soup, and three small ones are used to hold salt and jam.
Before Xu Fei made pickled peppers, there were not enough jars, so he requisitioned the largest and two empty jars for jam.Now a small one is used for salt, and there is only one stew pot left.
When Nagu lived alone, there were so many points, and he used whichever jar he picked up. Usually, one jar was used to the end, and the rest was used to store ashes.
He thought that taking advantage of the good sun today, he would make a few more jars for spare in the afternoon.
Xu Fei sat next to him and watched him mix salt into jars, and the technique was so good that not a single grain of salt was spilled.He was bored, so he asked Nagu, "Is Bai a female or a male?"
Although the white man is short and thin, but judging by his strange strength, he is likely to be a stunted male.
"female."
The distinction between males and females is obvious. Even if they are not interested in that female at all, they will know whether you are male or female the first time they meet.This feeling is a bit like we distinguish between men and women on the road, it is very easy to distinguish.
Although everyone was vague about Xu Fei's gender, it was later confirmed that Xu Fei is a female.
"He also has patterns behind his ears?" Xu Fei couldn't see his own, so he wanted to see what other people's patterns looked like.
"Well, golden." Nagu thought about it for a while, and said with certainty.
"Oh." Xu Fei secretly thought that when he came next time, he would definitely pull his ears to see what the golden pattern looked like.
After finding someone with the same gender (?) as himself, Xu Fei felt that he was not so perverted all of a sudden.
But since Bai is a female, the patriarch can tell that he is a male just by looking like that.Is it okay for the two of them to live together?Bai is still so young, what if he is kidnapped by the patriarch?
Nagu watched his daughter-in-law's complexion fluctuate, wondering what he was thinking.
No one is allowed to think about it except me, the domineering dog shook his hand, and said, "The pots in the cave are not enough, I'm going to make some more this afternoon."
When it comes to making pottery, Xu Fei is also very interested.At this time, just after eating, it is suitable to go out for activities and eliminate food.
"Then let's go find clay now." Xu Fei felt that the jars were not enough, and this time he wanted to make some with Nagudo.
Anyway, there is nothing in the hole, and it doesn't take up much space if you put it on display. Make more, and you can take it out when you want to use it.
The clay used to make clay pots is distributed on the edge of the cliff, and there is still a difficult road between the cave and the cave. Xu Fei was exhausted yesterday, so he must rest well today.Nagu planned to take the soil back by himself, and then make pots with Xu Fei.
"I'll go, you wait for me to come back." Nagu quickly kissed Xu Fei, and then ran away without a trace, as if there was some monster chasing after him.
If you can't go, you can't go. Xu Fei happens to weed and water the vegetable fields.The two wooden barrels were too big for him to carry, so he could only use the old and primitive method of fetching water from the stream.
Peppers are growing better than ginger and are already in flower buds.The plants here grow very fast, and it is estimated that small peppers will grow in a few days.
After watering and hoeing, Nagu also came back with a basket on his back.Because clay pots still need to be fired, there is a fireplace in the cave, and Nagu and Xu Fei are going to make it on it.
He was also worried that Xu Fei would be angry because he ran away suddenly, but seeing that his face is calm now and his brows are not wrinkled, he should be fine.
Nagu removed the pan, and Xu Fei saw a lot of large off-white clods inside, which seemed to be clay.
There was water in the barrel, and Nagu poured out the clods of soil, crushed the larger clods with stones, added water, and mashed them.
Xu Fei watched and learned from the side.
After Nagu mixed the clay, he started to make a mold with his hands, which looked similar to how we make toys out of mud.
The first thing he did was to make the bottom of the clay pot, which had to be flat so that it would not be easy to fall over, and then he built up the white clay bit by bit with his hands.Handmade things are not so perfect, as long as they can be used, it doesn't matter if they are ugly.
At first Xu Fei couldn't control the strength well, but he gradually got the hang of it.The two of them worked together and quickly finished ten jars, the last one made by Xu Fei was the most beautiful.
Nagu put the finished pots in the sun to dry, and after drying, they can be burned in the fireplace. After this last process is completed, a qualified and sturdy pottery pot is completed.
Ten jars, and they made them relatively large, which is usually enough.Nagu was burning pots next to him, and Xu Fei was choosing vegetables for cooking on the other side, and the days became dull again.
Xu Fei thought that Bai would pester the patriarch over in a few days, but he didn't expect that they didn't show up again until the little pepper turned into a big pepper.
Xu Fei was a little worried about Bai, and Nagu also wanted to know the situation of the patriarch.The two discussed it that day, and planned to secretly go to the tribe to inquire about it.
Of course, Nagu was determined not to take Xu Fei there.People in the tribe took Xu Fei away before, but they let him back because they knew he was a male.Now Xu Fei has become a female, and it is not like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
It's not that Nagu can't beat them, he just doesn't want those people to stare at Xu Fei with that disgusting gaze, he's afraid that he can't help but want to kill someone.
But if Xu Fei knew that Nagu compared himself to a sheep, no matter how good-tempered he was, he would give him a chestnut.If you don't go, don't go, you are not good at it, and if Li Nagu is found out, you will get into trouble again.
The two had a good discussion, but when they were about to have dinner, Heli came with white and wrapped in night.Xu Fei had to sigh, the timing was really accurate!Dinner was just made!
He also didn't expect that the patriarch would bring Bai over so late, the meat was not prepared enough, so Xu Fei took out the leg that was going to be jerky and roasted it for them for dinner.
Xu Fei's eyes were red when he looked at Bai, and there were still drops of water hanging from his eyelashes. "What's the matter?" It couldn't be that the beast, Hurley, bullied him.
Bai blinked and blinked, and water beads began to drip out again, like running water.
"Oh, my ancestor, don't you cry?" Harry felt that his hair was going to grow gray early.It was just that he was asked to stay with Xu Fei for a few days, but before he finished speaking, the sky turned to rainstorm on the opposite side, which made him jump.
After finally coaxing people to rest and bring them here, why are you crying again!
"I want to be with you, you and I both live here." Well, instead of going back together, we live here together.
He was relieved when the content was not what Xu Fei thought.Ever since he knew that he was classified as a female here, Xu Fei took more care of Bai, who is also a female, and thought more about it. Is this a change due to different gender perceptions?
"What's going on?" From Nagu's point of view, Bai was no longer a child, and other females could have children at this time, so Xu Fei was soft-hearted.
"Someone has been staring at me these past few days, and I didn't come here, so as not to bring trouble here." I also sent Bai here today when others were not paying attention.
Hurley sat on the stone bench and rubbed the space between his brows, these days he was almost bored to death.
It all started after the young priest came, and the whole tribe began to change gradually.Listening to his explanation, Nagu and Xu Fei frowned, this priest is too weird!
Priests are selected from various tribes. From the newborns, females with natural white hair and pure black patterns are selected.The priests are all females, and the selected babies will be sent to the priests immediately, educated until they reach adulthood, and then distributed to various tribes, in charge of sacrifices, medical science, and star exploration. Some priests are even more deterrent than the head of the clan. He has the final say on all affairs within the clan.
The priest's life experience is also legendary.
From forty or fifty years ago, few priests were born in the tribe.Most of the priests in the priesthood were as old as the old priests because there were no new ones to take over.
Finally, a tribe had a future priest, but encountered a beast attack on the way to escort the child. No one in the escort team was spared, and the baby who had just been one month old was missing.
Throwed in the depths of the jungle full of man-eating beasts, the child had almost no chance of surviving.The high priest of the priesthood called people from the surrounding tribes to search everywhere, but in the end they only found a piece of blood-stained animal skin wrapping.
Everyone felt that the child must have been killed, and there was nothing they could do except feel distressed and regretful.During those ten years, no tribe gave birth to a white-haired child. The high priest couldn't wait, and finally returned to the embrace of the natural god.
Unexpectedly, not long after the high priest died, a hunting team of a tribe found a young man riding a giant python at the edge of the deep rainforest.The white hair fell straight down to the ankles, and the whole body was not covered.
Seeing the crowd, the young man said clearly, "I am a priest who was lost in this forest ten years ago. I hope you will follow up on your mission and send me to where I should go."
After speaking, he patted the snake's head, the giant python put him down, vomited the message, and then turned and swam back to the depths of the rainforest.
Everyone had never seen such a big boa constrictor, their legs and feet were all weak in fright, and because the priest was standing in front of them, they knelt on the ground and trembled.
No one knew how this boy, who was a toddler ten years ago, remembered things. Everyone was only a priest, and they respectfully escorted the boy back to the priest's office.
It's a pity that the high priest has gone and can't teach the young people himself.The young man only followed the other priests in the institute while doing things and studying while reading the prayers and prayers.I also heard that this priest can understand the language of beasts, he is truly an incredible genius.
Now this young priest doesn't know what he likes in their tribe. The good priests don't want to wait, but he volunteers to be a low-level priest in an ordinary tribe.He is considered by everyone to be the most likely to inherit the high priest's youth, no one knows why.
After coming here, a weird atmosphere began to appear in the tribe. Bai didn't like to see that guy, he stayed at home every day and stopped wandering in the tribe.Harry asked him, and all he said was that the guy smelled nasty.
Originally, in Heli's tribe, whoever has the highest force value can be the patriarch. The priest said that Heli was protecting the disaster star and was not worthy of being the patriarch. The patriarch should be chosen by the god of nature.The group of people who originally supported Heli naturally quarreled with the priests, causing a mess in the tribe.
Heli himself doesn't care, he thinks that like Nagu, it's good to live alone away from the tribe, and he can spend more time with the little guy.
Tomorrow, the selection of a new patriarch will begin, and we will see how the God of Nature chooses.He doesn't think about anything now, he just hopes that everything will fall to the ground as soon as possible.
