I'm a warrior in the tribe

Chapter 8, The Second Moon

"My ancestors, An Ya, the current Patriarch of the An Clan, led the clansmen to pay their respects...

During Anya's reign, she devoutly carried out the instructions of the moon god, led the tribe to contribute to the tribe, and did not dare to forget the teachings of her ancestors. . "

An Ge knelt beside Grandma solemnly, listening to her blowing the rainbow pi of the ancestors over and over again, such an art of speaking.

"...Let the sun rise and the moon persevere in my Anzu, and may the Moon God bless my Anzu!"

Everyone held hands respectfully, bowed down and knelt down and shouted together with the Patriarch: "May the Moon God bless our An family!"

After the salute was over, Anya got up first, signaling An Ge to get up, and then Anya signaled everyone to get up.

After the clansmen stood still, Anya waved her hand, and everyone bowed down to salute the Patriarch, and knelt down on the cushions in an orderly manner according to their seniority.

After being seated, the criminals, dressed in neat clothes, kneeled down and climbed into the ancestral hall with the dishes in their hands, and the dishes were served in order of seating.

An Ge and his mother and father sat alone at the first table, facing the family's dining table, and behind them were the ancestral tablets.

Because the door was open, the draft was blowing back and forth leisurely, which gave her a little goosebumps.

But she can't move around at will, not even her expression, otherwise it's not in accordance with the etiquette. She is the next head of the family, so she must be calm and serious to the outside world.

When she was still wearing crotch pants last year, there were many mosquitoes in spring, and the mosquitoes wanted to pay homage to the blessing of the moon god, so they bit her a big bag.

As a result, she couldn't hold back during the meal, and scratched her butt a few times quietly, which was noticed by Anya.

When I got back, I was beaten up on my legs. The itching was not itchy, but there were a few more slap marks next to the blessing of the moon god.

After the tribe finished their meal quietly, Anya led the tribe to the front yard of the ancestral hall.

After she sat in the armchair placed on the steps of the front yard, the second process began, admonishing and punishing those who made mistakes.

An Ge stood on one side of his mother, his father stood on the other side, and the clansmen stood in an orderly manner under the steps in the courtyard.

Two of them stepped forward, lifted out a long wooden bench, and stood silently on both sides holding admonition sticks in their hands.

An Ge's scalp felt numb looking at the admonition stick. In this era, the law is not complete. Except for stealing and blasphemy, the servants of the gods will punish them.

Others are handled in accordance with the family rules within the family, and private actions are also allowed.

The deep-rooted family concept makes the people here pay special attention to the family rules.

The family rules of each family are mostly similar. In summary, all behaviors of women that do not conform to the character of a warrior are not allowed.

For example, bullying the good and fearing the evil, being cowardly like a mouse, for example not filial to parents, not raising children.

All immoral behaviors of men are not allowed, such as recklessness and abandonment, filthy fornication.

An Ge studied the family rules for a long time when she heard about them, and she even went to ask Pu He about it:

"Father, the family rules about men do not mention raising children to honor their parents.

If you don't do these two things, will you be punished by the clan rules? "

Pu He smiled lightly, and said in a casual tone, "No."

An Ge's eyes widened, and he asked, "Why not?"

Pu He was stunned for a moment, and replied: "These are what women should do, it's nothing to do with men."

An Ge asked again: "Will that woman be punished by the clan's rules since she started messing around and abandoned her fornication?"

Pu He seems to have heard something funny: "Women don't call it chaotic and abandon. That's called courage to pursue themselves, filthy fornication? That's called romantic."

Nima, what are these rules? In this era, there are no scumbags, only passionate ones.

If she died in front of Father, would he sigh:

"Hey, it's really troublesome to die. I'm going to have a baby with my wife again. It's so stressful."

Then walked away indifferently. .

Pu He stared at the silly child, pinched her tense little face:

"Father is a human being, and human beings have feelings, so I won't care about your life or death. Besides, you are a child blessed by the Moon God."

how?Luna still cares about my food and drink?Does it matter if you love me or not?

But that's right, the human heart is made of flesh, and all laws are formulated to restrain beasts in human skin. Normal people will not step on the line.

An Ge, a normal person, was concentrating on being a pillar at this time, when one of the old women standing in the first row in the courtyard stepped forward and bowed to Anya.

An old voice with shame:

"An Fei from the An family pays homage to the Patriarch, An Fei is ashamed of his ancestors and the Patriarch.

An Liang, a member of the clan, evaded the coming-of-age ceremony and tried to get away with it, which shamed the An clan and asked the Patriarch to punish him. "

As he spoke, he waved his hands. At this time, two young men dragged a young woman from behind and threw her to the ground.

The young woman knelt on the ground trembling, and the clansmen on both sides looked at her with contempt.

Anya looked at her, and said in a low voice, "An Liang, is what An Fei said true?"

The young woman buried her head deeply and wept bitterly:

"The words of the master of the home are true, woo woo, but I have passed the test of killing the tiger, and there are not enough warriors in the clan, I, I..."

An Ge understands, big worm, big worm is a tiger, and taking a spear to stab someone else's tiger is indeed more dangerous than good.

Everyone was quite disdainful when they heard An Liang's words, and some even criticized:

"A warrior must dare to face death, not to mention returning to the embrace of the moon god!

Don't talk about big bugs!Even if you are asked to open up the world, you have to go, how can you run away, it is really embarrassing for my An family! "

The eldest brother's voice was loud and loud, and he got a lot of echoes.

An Ge pouted, men don't have the test of coming of age, this brother usually talks lying down, it really doesn't hurt his back to talk standing up.

Anya raised her hand to suppress everyone's insults, and solemnly pronounced the sentence:

"Clan member An Liang, who violated the clan rules, is now punished with fifty sticks, and everything under his name will be confiscated, and he will be executed immediately!"

"Yes!"

The sound of beating meat with sticks and Anliang's screams soon sounded in the courtyard, from the initial wailing to the final dying.

An Ge swallowed her saliva looking at the bloody scene, this was the first time she saw the punishment of the family rules with her own eyes.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Grandma sitting on the chair, and suddenly felt a little strange looking at her stern eyebrows.

Glancing at the uncle who was standing below, no wonder he was so afraid of Aunt.

He was much older than himself, so he must have seen many such scenes.

By the time the execution with fifty sticks was over, An Liang had obviously released more air than breathed in.

Anya waved someone to lift her down, but didn't ask the doctor to treat her, obviously not caring about her life or death.

During the following ceremony, An Ge was obviously absent-minded, and the scene just now was still swaying in her mind.

The Shenhui Festival made her realize the cruelty of life, and the punishment of the family rules today made her realize the strictness of etiquette.

Anya glanced at the cub beside her. They were in the middle of the kissing ceremony. In the past, the cub couldn't sit still at this time.

Now he is still in a daze, and he doesn't look at the occasion, the ancestor's tablet is still behind him.

With a serious face and eyes half downcast, Anya nodded slightly to the old man who was kissing, and the whole ceremony ended in An Ge's trance.

The sky gradually turned a dim yellow color, which meant that the most important part of the sacrifice was coming.

Anya led the cub, Puhe stood beside her, followed by the An tribe, and the group came to the beach of Xinghai.

A tall and huge altar was placed near the sea, and the beach was full of torches.

A long carpet was laid on the sand in a cross shape, and one end of the carpet extended to the Star Maiden Hall not far away.

In addition to the star girl and three god servants, the Xingtu tribe has been passed down to this day, there are also two high-level god envoys, six middle-level god envoys, and [-] low-level god envoys.

The selection of high-level envoys is under the control of the star girl, while the selection of mid-level envoys is under the control of the servants of the gods.

The low-level envoys are supplemented from time to time by the annual sacrifices, and the sacrifices have always been presided over by the servants of the gods.

An Ge felt that the ancients still had some ideas and knew about the separation of powers, but such selected people could easily be servants of the gods.

After all, from soldiers to officers, they were all picked up by servants of God.

However, judging from the fact that Star Girl Yaoqian began to intervene in the matter of low-level servants, it shows that she is also aware of this problem.

The positions under the altar are also divided according to the ranks of the people, spreading from the inside to the outside from high to low.

As soon as the clansmen of the three great servants arrived, they immediately filled the front area,

And it's very obvious that the Wind Clan, because they have the largest population, followed by the Rain Clan, they all seem to be well-trained.

An Ge really wanted to see that Snow Clan, and that man named Chen Jin.

But because it is Dwarf Dingdang, I can only see countless thighs, and I feel a little dizzy after a long time.

She obediently took Aunt's hand and came to their position. Compared with the civilians who all went to the edge of the beach, her position was already quite close to the altar.

However, she still couldn't see the scene on the altar.

She twitched the corners of her mouth aggrievedly, and she twitched Grandma's hand again. Anya stared at her without saying a word, while An Ge looked up at her.

Seeing Grandma's calm face, she recalled her stern eyebrows and eyes before, she pursed her lips timidly and lowered her head without daring to speak.

As time passed, all the people gathered on the beach, except for the sound of wind and waves, so many people just didn't make any movement.

Everyone stood solemnly and neatly, and the scene looked weird and heavy.

Within a few minutes, two people holding animal bone scepters, wearing hideous masks and dark clothes appeared from the Star Maiden Hall and stood still.

At this time, the women wearing red scarves standing on the altar raised their hands neatly and beat down on the animal skin drum.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound.

All the people standing on the beach bowed and knelt down holding hands in unison, shouting: "Master Luna, bless my star map!"

An Ge bowed her head and knelt down. Fortunately, there was a carpet in front of her.

Now when the person in front knelt down, the scene on the altar was completely presented in front of her.

I saw an old woman on the altar with loose gray hair, wearing heavy sacrificial clothing, wearing animal horns on her head, and mysterious symbols painted on her face.

The old woman spoke eloquently to the beat of the drums, with an ancient and mysterious accent.

The two servants of the gods also walked out of the Star Maiden Hall as the drums sounded, and began to dance the Moon Goddess Dance on the carpet.

From the perspective of modern people, the dance moves are a bit funny, An Ge has never believed in ghosts and gods.

It's just that after she was reborn, for the first time, she had a slight hesitation about the existence of ghosts and gods.

If there are no ghosts and gods in the world, then what is she?

As the servant of God approached, a woman suddenly appeared. The woman was wearing dark clothes, so she couldn't see clearly because of the short distance.

But the style of the clothes is not like the deep clothes like the servants of the gods, the front hem is short and the back hem is dragging to the ground.

The whole costume does not look bulky, but has a light and beautiful feeling.

I saw that the material of the dress reflected a silver halo from time to time, which let An Ge know that she was the star girl Yaoqian.

The ceremony was in progress, and the torch came from nowhere in the hands of the servant of the gods, and the flames "boomed" as they poured out.

The people all held their breath and looked expectant, An Ge couldn't help but slander in his heart.

Isn't this just using rosin powder in the mouth to create such a flame? These two magic sticks are very bad, and it is uneducated to bully the people.

The two fire-breathing dragons who lit fires all the way came to the altar and knelt down, holding hands and bowing, and a pleasant voice rang in An Ge's ears.

The voice moved from far to near, and a pair of jade feet flashed in front of my eyes, and I saw a thin anklet tied around the ankle of the jade feet.

Shells and pearls were hung on the anklets, and they jingled as they walked, and then a faint fragrance entered the tip of their noses.

An Ge lowered his head and blinked quietly, suppressing the urge to look up to see the whole picture.

Star Maiden, a living Star Maiden.

After a while, the star girl finished her moonlight show and stood on the altar, her cool voice was a little hazy on the quiet and empty beach:

"The moon god is above, the star girl Yaoqian leads the people of the star map to bow down!"

Everyone still kept bowing their heads and kneeling. This was a dialogue between the daughter of God and God, and mortals were not qualified to make a sound.

After speaking, Xingnu bowed down with her hands folded on her chest, then straightened her upper body, and said in a soothing voice:

"As time goes on, as time goes by, I follow the decree of the Moon God, praying in my heart every moment..."

The routine has been popular since ancient times. An Ge's neck began to feel a little sore when he heard the obscure rainbow pi in his ears.

But isn't our prayer a little greedy?

We also want the people to live well, and we need nature to understand less natural disasters, and we need Luna to spit out more resources.

This requires money, people, and resources. No wonder the Moon God is being praised hard, and the Moon God has also been tricked.

As time passed, An Ge was still a child after all, and he couldn't kneel anymore.

Anya silently moved towards the cub, letting her lean on her arm.

An Ge didn't try to be brave, if something went wrong during the sacrifice, he would hiccup.

After realizing her grandmother's intentions, she quietly shared her strength and leaned over. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her father dozing off indistinctly with his eyes closed.

The man is really unreliable, not only unreliable, but also unreliable, An Ge cursed in his heart.

Tonight's moon seemed to fit the occasion, shedding light on the entire beach very seriously, and the little crabs quietly leaned out from the cracks in the stones.

There was only a cool sound on the quiet beach. It curiously scraped away the sand and took a few steps sideways.

The torch exploded abruptly, and it stopped suddenly. Just as it was about to retreat, it was caught by a pair of sharp claws, leaving only traces of its crawling on the sand.

When the waves rushed to the beach again, they ruthlessly erased the only proof that it had lived in this world.

The sound of the waves seemed to laugh presumptuously: "Welcome back to the embrace of the moon god." '
