Beastmaster Hunter

The courtyard's pergola was covered with green vines, He Ting sat under the dense green shade, watching the little hair balls fluttering around his legs.He and Aze were about to go to the witch doctor, but Aze suddenly said that he had something to do with Hua Yu, and he hadn't come back since he went out, so He Ting played with Xiao Maotuan in the yard.The energetic little hairball bounced and jumped, and a green mechanical imitation porcupine about the size of a white radish was pulled back and forth by it, and sometimes it tried to bite and shake it with its toothless mouth. It was a joy to play. .

After playing with the little porcupine for a while, the little hairball felt a little bored, so he rushed over and hugged He Ting's leg, raised his head and yelled softly a few times.He Ting understood what it meant very well, picked it up and put it on his lap, and didn't think its plush body was too warm.Xiao Maotuan was happy standing on He Ting's lap, obediently found a comfortable position and lay down, with his little head sideways, his big golden eyes blinking, trying to be cute to He Ting.

Looking at this lively and beautiful little guy in my family, I really can't help but feel bad.He Ting gently helped it smooth its fur, and the little hairball hummed happily, and after a while, it stuck out its little tongue to lick He Ting's hand.This guy has the same problem as Aze.

When Aze came back excitedly, he saw the nasty little hairball robbing him of his few benefits, and his eyes were red with jealousy again.It's a pity that Xiaoting has always protected the little hairball. He is alone and helpless, so he can only whisper a few words in his heart.He rushed to He Ting's side in two or three steps, and said with a relaxed expression, "I'm fine, let's go to the witch doctor."

He Ting looked up and saw that Aze was carrying a big basket with a lid on the top, so he couldn't tell what was inside.Remembering that he was obviously empty-handed when he went out, He Ting asked strangely: "Did you bring the basket on your back from Uncle Ye? Are you going to carry it over there?"

Aze's eyes dodged a little, and he replied vaguely: "Well, it's nothing, I just took some things from the sixth uncle and gave it to the witch doctor. Let's go quickly." His guilty look showed that he had something to hide .Aze has a simple temperament, he can never hide things in his heart, and he is rarely as reckless as today. He Ting was very curious, so he didn't expose him, and stood up with his little hairball in his arms.

"Let me hug it, it's so hot." Aze snatched the little hairy ball from He Ting's arms, the little hairy ball suddenly became unhappy, thumped its claws out, and yelled at He Ting pitifully.

He Ting glared at A Ze, then hugged the little hairball back, and said angrily: "When you two don't quarrel a few times, how can it let you hug it obediently. Put it in the basket and let the buck Carry it on your back." It's not comfortable to carry a fluffy, chubby little ball of hair in Xia Tian's arms for a while, He Ting had already prepared for it, and with a whistle, he summoned the silver-horned stag to come to his side , and picked up a bamboo basket from his feet, put the little ball of hair in it, and fixed the basket on the beautiful big horns of the silver-horned stag with a straw rope.

"Be good." He Ting patted the little hairball's head, and after saying three simple words, the little hairball fell down quietly.The bamboo basket is very large, with a layer of fine white reeds inside, it is very comfortable to nest in, and it sways slightly as the stag walks, which makes the little hairy ball feel very funny, looking around with bright eyes, without making a fuss at all.

Because the place was not far away, only Xiao Maotuan rode his mount, while He Ting and Aze walked, and soon arrived at the courtyard where the witch doctor lived.The witch doctor of the tribe integrates the functions of wizard, doctor, teacher, history recorder, etc., and has a very high status in the tribe.This generation of witch doctors is said to be over 70 years old, with white beard and hair, wearing a fine linen robe, and only wearing a string of white jade ornaments around their necks.The stone room where he was staying was piled up with many pieces of animal skins and wooden slabs, and some abstract patterns were painted with scarlet paint on the walls, matching the image of the witch doctor, giving him the aura of a magic stick.

Aze, like many young and middle-aged people in the tribe, grew up listening to the stories of witch doctors when he was a child. He respected the witch doctor very much. Full Moon, I will bring it here to ask you to bless it, and please write its name on the tribe's animal skin." As he spoke, he presented a large piece of delicate animal skin and a few sharp animal teeth, the animal skin It is a gift for the witch doctor, and the animal tooth is a full moon gift from parents to their cubs, which are both tribal customs.

"You little guy has cubs in a blink of an eye, and I was thinking about when you will come today." The witch doctor smiled kindly and said slowly.He knew exactly when the tribe had a newborn. Besides, when Aze was pregnant before marriage, the witch doctor couldn't help but pay more attention.After glancing at He Ting, he asked Aze again: "I heard that you have moved out from Cangna, and you need to register a separate household and record the cub under your name?"

A Ze took a peek at He Ting, saw that Xiao Ting was not about to speak, and said a little embarrassedly: "I want to trouble Grandpa Wu Zu to register us as a separate household, but Xiao Zai Zai and I are both registered in Xiao Ting's name." Next, he is Xiao Zai Zai's father."

This of course means that He Ting and Aze will be officially recognized by the tribe as husband and wife. The old witch doctor thought they had already discussed it, but he didn't know that Aze would cut it first and play later, so he nodded: "Have you prepared everything? Do you want it?" hold a ceremony?"

"I've prepared some." Aze took another peek at He Ting before taking out a hooded cloak woven with colorful feathers and silk thread from the basket.The feather crown of the cloak is inlaid with metal and colored jade, and there is a golden tassel on each side, which looks very gorgeous.He held the cloak in front of He Ting, his eyes full of pious expectation: "I asked Uncle Hua Yu to help make this, Xiao Ting, you will definitely look good in it."

He Ting stood silently behind Aze holding the little hairball all the time, listening to the old witch doctor and Aze talk about the ceremony, although the words were vague, he almost guessed the truth in his heart.Now being watched eagerly by Aze, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Of course, the tribal marriage ceremony cannot be compared with modern times. It is just that the two married parties send a token to each other, wear the most beautiful clothes, and worship under the witness of the witch doctor. The totem pole in the middle of the tribe represents the beast-god. After you are done, you will invite your relatives and friends to have a meal, which is considered very grand.Aze begged for a long time and promised countless benefits before he asked Hua Yu to make this colorful feather cloak. He only had a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect Xiao Ting to accept it so easily.Although Xiao Ting may not understand the meaning of accepting this colorful feather cloak, Aze is still overjoyed, his mouth is wide open, and the smile on his face cannot be concealed.

The old witch doctor looked at Aze's stupid appearance and laughed, shook his head and said with a smile: "Then I will name your cub first, and then hold the ceremony later. If you want to invite family members to witness together, go quickly."

"I have invited my father, mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, they should be here soon." A Ze glanced at Xiao Ting very guilty - he was too self-assertive today!He only told his family that he came to see the witch doctor to pray for Xiao Maotuan. Of course, he also hoped to hold a ceremony with Xiao Ting, but if it didn't work out, it wouldn't be too embarrassing. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ting didn't seem to object!

A Ze was so excited that he saw the witch doctor spreading out a piece of animal skin and slowly dissolving a pile of red powder with water, so he rubbed against He Ting and said in a low voice, "Well, that ceremony is actually nothing. Yes, after the ceremony, the two of us can take care of the little hairball together, don't worry about it."

It's this time, this guy is not being honest, he is getting more and more courageous, He Ting glanced at A Ze, really too lazy to talk to this idiot.
