Chapter 146 Ceremony
If the news that Xiaoyu and Yanneng are likely to have multiple cubs spreads, they will definitely be pursued crazily by the male orcs in the tribe who have a strong desire to reproduce.
This is a special talent of females.
Times are different and the needs are different, which Lu Xiaoxiao understands and respects.
After chatting for a while, the females began to work slowly again. The baskets were soon filled with folded flowers at an astonishing speed.
When the basket is full, everyone works together to carry it back and hand it over to the person in charge. Each participating female will get a handful of nuts.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt that they were like children in kindergarten, helping the teacher to lift tables and fetch things, and the teacher would give them a little red flower or something...
The main reason is that parents nowadays are strict about snacks. When she was young, she could get candy for helping the teacher with work.
This handful of nuts included large and small ones, including hazelnuts, pine nuts, and chestnuts. All of them had been pinched by the males, some of them had big openings, and some had cracks, making it easier for them to open and eat.
The altar, which is very ceremonial, is always decorated with great emphasis. Many people gather around to watch the fun, and Lu Xiaoxiao also went over.
There were indeed a lot of people, many unfamiliar faces, but all of these faces knew Lu Xiaoxiao. It was very much like the scene that netizens jokingly described as "during the holidays, no one knows anyone, but everyone knows themselves."
I won’t go into details about how to greet people like “Hello, Lu Xiaoxiao” or “Lu Xiaoxiao, you came to see us too.” After Lu Xiaoxiao greeted everyone, she didn’t remember anyone.
Everyone's hairstyle is wild, and the colors are all very high-profile, green, red, blue, pink, the richness of the colors is more dazzling than a paint bucket.
The altar was decorated with limited resources, and its usual solemn appearance was shed. It instantly became much more peaceful and beautiful, and genuine joy appeared on the orcs' thin faces.
The preparation work was a manifestation of strength in numbers. It took less than two hours, and the altar was piled high with firewood. No one knew where the firewood was found.
Everyone was watching from the side, not feeling bored or uninterested. After the quiet night fell, the first fire burned, illuminating the entire empty night.
The priests and the tribe leaders prayed on the stage, thanked the beast god, thanked the warriors of the tribe, and lamented that everyone's life had been continued. This had become an inevitable process for every event. Lu Xiaoxiao could understand that if there was no faith in everyone's life, it would be difficult to persevere.
They talked for more than half an hour. Except for Lu Xiaoxiao, the orcs around did not spend even a second distracted. Their eyes were burning and they would loudly echo their words from time to time. Their enthusiasm and yearning were so shocking.
Lu Xiaoxiao summarized the long speeches of the tribe leader and the priest into one sentence: "We have lived another year. We feel that we are all very impressive. Let's work hard and survive in the new year. It would be best if we could give birth to more cubs. Then things will definitely be better."
New year, new start.
"Everyone should unite and be friendly. Our tribe will soon be able to provide everyone with enough food, and there is no need to worry about going hungry during the rainy season!"
"Oh~"
“Unity, unity!”
Lu Xiaoxiao's hand was suddenly wrapped in warmth. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Yuchuan coming to her side silently.
There was a rare trace of calmness on his face; when he was outside, he seldom had any unnecessary expressions.
After silently squeezing his hand and getting his response, Lu Xiaoxiao turned back to look at the altar with a slight smile on her lips.
She thought that Yuchuan was feeling uncomfortable and would not want to come.
In the past, the little leopard would only watch the lively crowd from afar and envy them alone in the dark. Now, he can participate in it openly and become one of the excitement.
Although, it was only because he recovered.
In Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes, the little leopard is just a little leopard. Even if he doesn't have a beast form, she will always stand by his side and poke and curse anyone who dares to make a fuss.
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxiao looked in the crowd and saw An Qi in the corner. Her red hair was so eye-catching.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked over as if nothing had happened. The other party did not frequently look at her, but the occasional conflicted look at her was still somewhat obvious.
Lu Xiaoxiao's heart tightened. An Qi's expression was not concealed at all, and it was very obvious that her master was struggling. What was she struggling about? ?
Is he struggling over whether or not to continue sending her the figurines?
"What's wrong?" Yuchuan saw that she was always looking, not knowing what she was looking at. He was a little nervous. There were many females and males nearby, and he wondered if she was paying attention to other... males.
Has this day finally arrived?
"Nothing." If he buried a villain like last time, a guy with good eyesight like Yuchuan would definitely find it at a glance, otherwise he would have gone out to crawl around in the forest for so long in vain.
Seeing that she was unwilling to give a direct answer, Yuchuan secretly glanced in the direction she was looking. Several males in that direction were also secretly looking at this side, and he felt very uncomfortable.
This mountain cat orc has a bad temper and loves to sleep. If we leave him to take care of Xiaoxiao, who will take care of whom? That one is a wolf orc with average strength. It’s better to have Nanshan than him. And the one with a silly smile...
After picking and choosing for a while, Yuchuan wanted to shut himself in. He felt that none of them were acceptable.
"Let's start, let's go get some food!" As soon as the crowd dispersed, everyone rushed to get food.
The food conditions for the ceremony were limited. Each person was given a leaf, a spoonful of porridge and a handful of nuts. The leaf could be rolled up and used as a container to hold the porridge. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
The appearance of the particles makes everyone very satisfied. At this time of year in previous years, it would be exciting to have some dried meat soaked in water or a little bit of noodle soup.
Lu Xiaoxiao drank the light-flavored salty porridge and felt very calm.
"I want to learn archery!"
"I want one too. I'll learn how to use a slingshot."
"Lulu, I will definitely become more powerful after learning archery!"
"Become stronger! Become stronger! Then females will like me~"
The cubs were running around laughing, muttering about how they wanted to be the most powerful orcs. The males watched with a smile, occasionally stretching out their feet to trip them up. If they succeeded, they would take the initiative and say, "Humph, you don't even look at the road, and you still want to be the strongest male~"
The cubs will scream or cry at this time, and they will say, "Oh, you're crying already? Females don't like weak guys."
The bullied cubs would wipe away their tears immediately and get up quickly. Even if there were tears on their faces, they would touch their faces with their hands and say firmly, "I'm not weak!"
The gray mud left on his face represented his strength at the moment. Everyone was laughing and full of vitality.
