I became an internet celebrity by running a grocery store
Chapter 055 The Tribe
Finally arrived at the destination, the little assistant wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, got out of the car and opened the door graciously, feeling that the journey was really too difficult.However, Village Chief Xia's face seemed to be more ferocious than before, he was gnashing his teeth, as if he wanted to swallow himself in one gulp.
He swallowed his saliva for some unknown reason, crying for his mother in his heart, wanting to go home.
Zhang Xiaobei hurriedly walked into the hospital with his arms around his waist, and it was unknown whether it was the overly intimate posture of the two of them, or Xia Songfeng's strange attire that attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Zhang Xiaobei lowered his head unconsciously, a little afraid to look directly into everyone's eyes.
Xia Songfeng was very calm, or in other words, he didn't have those other people in his eyes at all, and his mind was full of Xiaobei's injuries.
"There's nothing wrong with it, everything's fine." The doctor read through several reports and X-rays in his hand and came to a conclusion.
After hearing this, Xia Songfeng's tense body did not relax, and he leaned closer to the doctor again, "Look carefully, there is really nothing wrong with it."
His voice was a little high, and it was full of doubts and disbelief.
The doctor frowned, with some displeasure on his face.
"Young man, what do you mean by that?" The doctor pushed his eyes angrily.He has been sick for decades, how could this report be wrong.
"Doctor, it's nothing interesting, he's just a little worried." Zhang Xiaobei sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly pulled Xia Songfeng back and explained to the doctor.
Xia Songfeng coughed lightly and realized his gaffe, "I'm sorry doctor, I didn't mean that."
The doctor's complexion got better now, Zhang Xiaobei took the opportunity and hurriedly dragged Xia Songfeng outside.
"Xia Songfeng, what's the matter with you today, you're so impatient." After leaving the consulting room, Zhang Xiaobei looked at him with a funny face.
Xia Songfeng felt a little exhausted for a while, and wanted to say that I didn't do it all for you, but in the end he held back.
"By the way, you are going to film, are you really okay?" After all, he is the village head, so it will not affect him well.
"It's okay, just a few backs, it's a favor for Director Yan. And isn't today the weekend, and it doesn't take up work time."
Zhang Xiaobei let out an "oh", and didn't know what to say, so the two walked in silence.
At this time, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the front corner, all wearing the same coat.I didn't know what to do, so I walked in anxiously.
In order to avoid them, Zhang Xiaobei had no choice but to squeeze against Xia Songfeng.As soon as their hands touched each other, he immediately retracted from the hot touch.The quick action made Zhang Xiaobei a little embarrassed.
Xia Songfeng probably felt that he despised him again.
He frowned and thought about how to explain to him for a while, but he didn't notice that the huge team stopped beside him at this time, and surrounded the two of them abruptly.Neither advancing nor retreating.
An aunt stood at the outermost edge of the line, as if she felt that the space was not spacious enough, she twisted her big and round body.
"Young man, you are squeezing in, move some space for me."
Just as Zhang Xiaobei was about to say that there was no land, the aunt turned her buttocks and directly pushed him into Xia Songfeng's arms.
Xia Songfeng leaned against the cold wall, Zhang Xiaobei's hands were neither high nor low, just right on his chest, and the two of them stuck together from top to bottom.Zhang Xiaobei didn't dare to move at all, and didn't know what to do, his face was hot.He moved his toes slowly, trying to keep his body away from Xia Songfeng, especially the bottom.
It's so embarrassing.
The team moved forward, and Zhang Xiaobei quickly noticed a small open space beside him.Although he can only put one foot down, he would rather be alone than nestled in Xia Songfeng's arms like this.
Just when he was about to rub against him, the aunt suddenly turned around again and poked his elbow straight at the waist.I don't know if he touched some tendon, but Zhang Xiaobei's body went numb, his whole body was weak, and he fell straight down.
If there was still a few millimeters between the bodies of the two of them just now, this time it can be said that they fit perfectly and tightly.Zhang Xiaobei's forehead also leaned forward, and when he was about to hit the solid wall, a warm palm fell from the sky and lay between him and the wall.
Zhang Xiaobei heard a chuckle from above his head, and he turned his head to see Xia Songfeng's gloating face.
At this time, he didn't care about being shy, and slipped his hand down and twisted Xia Songfeng's waist.
Xia Songfeng let out a muffled groan, not sure if it was on purpose, but gasped softly in his ear, "It hurts."
"Can...how much it hurts." He said stiffly, his eyes wandering all over the place, but he didn't dare to look directly at Xia Songfeng.
When his body recovered a little, he hurriedly stepped to the side, and leaned against the wall side by side with Xia Songfeng.
"What are you all doing here? These consulting rooms can also be checked. Come over here." After the little nurse finished speaking, a group of people flocked away. The road ahead of the two finally cleared up, and Zhang Xiaobei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
-
"My great god, look at your people, who are loyal to you, and will never betray your people. My great god, winter has come, and all food is covered by heavy snow. Your most pious The people have been unable to find any way to survive, so they can only pray to you. I beg you to give us some food, and we are willing to be loyal to you for the rest of our lives."
Under the simple sacrificial altar, an old man dressed in animal skin jacket knelt down with his arms outstretched.A group of men, women and children crawled behind him. Regardless of the heavy snow on the ground, their entire faces were pressed against it, and their palms were red and purple from the cold.
"Great god, here are some sacrifices, we just need some food for the winter. Please, we will be your most loyal believers for the rest of our lives."
The patriarch knelt down, not daring to lift his head, for fear of offending the gods.The heavy snow kept falling, and soon a thin layer of frost accumulated on his silver-white hair.The icy snowflakes fell on the skin, and then were melted by the temperature of the body, turning into water and soaking the neckline.Even so, he didn't dare to move at all, just knelt down.
Suddenly, a child's exclamation came from behind.
"Look, the sacrifice is gone."
The patriarch looked up, and saw that the plates of wild fruits he had carefully selected on the altar disappeared one by one.He stood up in a panic, and didn't care about anything at this time, only rushing up.
"How is this going."
His voice trembled, revealing the fear that came from the depths of his heart.The people behind him also stood up and rushed forward, grabbing the thing on the altar and putting it on themselves, trying to prevent it from disappearing.It's useless, but everything on the sacrificial altar will disappear no matter where it ends up.
After only a few minutes, the altar was half empty.The wild boar that everyone had worked so hard to hunt for a month suddenly disappeared like water droplets, as well as the necklace of ivory and gemstones, and some wild fruits that were the only ones in the clan.
Everyone sat on the ground in despair, their faces gray and silent.
"Is this the punishment given to us by the gods?" The patriarch slapped the ground, wailing regardless of his image.
Immediately, sighs and sobs flew together, and the eyes of everyone looking at the elderly patriarch also began to reveal a little blame.
"I would have known that this sacrifice would not be held. That wild boar is enough for everyone to eat for a while." Someone complained in a low voice with resentment.
The patriarch rubbed his face and looked at the clansmen sitting around with different faces, the self-blame and guilt in his heart were about to overwhelm him.
He is the patriarch, and every decision will affect the life and death of the tribe.Now because the clansmen he killed were struggling, and even lost the little food they had for the winter, he had to die to apologize.
He stood up, looked at the tribe that had grown up with him and grew old, took out a small knife wrapped with rattan from his side waist, and held it up high.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a "bang" sound from behind, which made the knife in his hand clatter to the ground in fright.Turning around, I saw a large bag of khaki-yellow things lying on the ground.
Someone picked it up and handed it to him.
"Patriarch, what do you think this is?"
The patriarch took it, squinting his presbyopic eyes and preparing to take a closer look.Hearing a few more bang bang bangs, things fell from the sky like it was raining.Although the thing is not big, it still hurts when it hits a person.
Everyone fled from the altar one after another, and the food rain lasted for a total of several minutes before it gradually stopped.
The patriarch climbed up the altar again, and this time he was finally able to take a closer look at what had fallen.
There are several kinds, packed in different packages.Strange symbols were drawn on it, none of which he recognized.But there is a trick, he can vaguely recognize that it is eating food.Just when he didn't know how to dispose of these things, the children in the clan were already hungry and opened the bag by themselves, stuffing a lot into their mouths.
What he ate was buckwheat rice cracker, with the burnt aroma of the farmhouse's earthen stove, and sprinkled with a handful of salt and pepper and cumin powder.Not only has the natural aroma of grain, but also adds various seasonings, which tastes as fragrant as meat.
The child was eating happily, and the rice crackers were chewing in his mouth.
Everyone rubbed their stomachs, and they couldn't wait any longer, they picked up the food on the altar one after another.
What's the matter, the patriarch put on a serious face and scolded loudly.
No matter how hungry everyone was, the old patriarch didn't dare to disobey the words, so they all stopped moving.
The patriarch ordered several young people to pick up the things and arrange them by category. He walked over and took a look at each one.Identify them through pictures and smells, and tell the tribe what these are.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, and there were expressions of admiration on their faces.
The reason why the old patriarch can become the patriarch is not just because he is the oldest and most experienced one in the clan.But he traveled to many places when he was young and had the widest knowledge.And he has an excellent sense of smell, and can identify edible food and herbs. He is not only the patriarch, but also the physician of the clan.
He took out a can of luncheon meat and opened it without thinking twice.The pink cooked meat is placed in an iron can, and once opened, the fragrance unabashedly exudes its unique charm.Everyone couldn't eat, so they all stood in place and sniffed vigorously.
The patriarch opened a few cans and handed them to the woman who was cooking, and then unpacked a few packets of noodles and crispy rice, and asked them to light a fire and cook together.
The people of the tribe sat around the fire, even though there was heavy snow all around, the cold wind howled mercilessly.But accompanied by the aroma of food, they did not feel cold at all.
There are no extra seasonings, just dark noodles with a few slices of meat boiled in snow water will be delicious.
Under the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, the hot water boiled several times, and it was finally ready to start.Everyone lined up, waiting for the patriarch to distribute.
Men share the most, and they still have to hunt and protect the tribe, and of course they enjoy more delicacies.But in the winter when food is scarce and wild beasts dormant and seldom appear, they can only eat half full, as long as they are not hungry.Next is the children, which is the hope of the tribe. The food they get is half that of the strong men, but it is enough for them to survive the cold and long winter.
Women live the least, and don't need to pick fruit in winter, they just need to stay in the warm house to make animal skin clothes and do some miscellaneous work.They don't need to move around frequently, and they don't need to work hard, and they eat the least amount of food.
The tradition of distributing food in this way started from the establishment of the tribe and has survived to this day. No one has any objections, and they are all focused on enjoying the food in their hands.
The meat was so delicious, much better than the boar and venison they had hunted.There is neither a hard taste nor an unpalatable fishy smell. It is the most delicious meat they have ever eaten.
He swallowed his saliva for some unknown reason, crying for his mother in his heart, wanting to go home.
Zhang Xiaobei hurriedly walked into the hospital with his arms around his waist, and it was unknown whether it was the overly intimate posture of the two of them, or Xia Songfeng's strange attire that attracted the attention of many passers-by.
