Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

When the time turns to the new year, it is midnight.

The sacrifice enters the final stage: New Year’s blessing!

A new year begins!

This time in the Shun tribe, all the children who have reached the age have awakened the power of fire.

Including the children from previous years, more than a dozen of them have awakened.

And An Qiqi awakened early!

There are even three middle-aged awakened men.

Therefore, Wu felt that this was another auspicious sign for the prosperity of the Shun tribe!

The entire tribe was praying devoutly.

New Year, new atmosphere, the tribe will be more prosperous!

After the sacrifice, it was almost dawn.

But the awakened children did not feel tired at all, instead they were very excited.

An Qiqi and other awakened children followed the witch to the open space on the mountain.

Those who have just awakened will ask the witch to carve a totem of the tribal fire on their foreheads.

When a warrior uses the power of fire, the totem will appear.

But this fire totem is just a form of expression.

It is different from the totem power of believing in gods.

One is the power that comes from the spark of civilization. The other is the power that comes from the belief in God.

The difference between the two is obvious at a glance.

The fire totem of the Shun tribe.

The more An Qiqi looked, the more it felt like there were two flaming feet running. Does this represent speed?

After carving the tribal fire totem, it means that it is time to go out hunting.

Tribes are distinguished from each other by their fire totems.

After carving the fire totem, the witch spoke a lot of encouraging words in a rhythmic manner, and all the children were very excited.

After that, everyone went back home and looked for their own mother.

Generally, parents will teach their children how to control the power of fire, how to train, how to fight, etc.

If they are orphans, there are warriors to teach them.

Wu Ben wanted An Qiqi to stay in the mountains.

There are many female warriors here, and anyone can teach her.

But when An Qiqi saw the expectation in her brother Li's eyes, she decided to go home.

It's not like she has no family.

However, the witch asked her to go up the mountain every two days and be with the female warriors to teach her more things.

Wu is very optimistic about An Qiqi and plans to train her vigorously.

Besides, An Qiqi has to inspect the medicinal fields from time to time.

Although there are dedicated people to take care of the medicinal fields and farmland, she does not have to work in the fields herself.

But sometimes unexpected events occur and An Qiqi needs to come up with solutions.

When I returned to my home on the mountainside, it was already dawn.

The most important day for the tribe is the year-end sacrifice, which marks the beginning of the New Year after the prayers.

Unlike in the previous life, there is no annual holiday here, and the New Year lacks some of the festive atmosphere.

For breakfast, An Qiqi and Li had hotpot.

After awakening the power of fire, I can eat the meat of ferocious beasts. Cook it with chestnuts and add some spicy dishes. It is simply delicious.

"A Liu, take a nap first. When you wake up, I will take you to the training ground!" said Li.

An Qiqi nodded: "Yeah!"

So, the first day of the new year was spent catching up on sleep.

The following days.

An Qiqi always followed Li to the training ground to practice controlling her strength.

There are many children on the training ground, also training.

In addition to going to the mountains and fields, An Qiqi also went around the tribe with Li several times.

When encountering wild beasts and insects, An Qiqi finally no longer needs to be afraid and can kill them directly.

This feeling is really good!

When winter passes and spring comes, hunting begins again.

But when going out hunting, there is basically nothing for the newly awakened children to do.

They have to train for a long time.

However, the riverside hunting activities organized by the tribe are a good hunting training program.

Every warrior starts by hunting river beasts.

In order to take An Qiqi with him, Li did not go out hunting with them.

He is worried!

Don't think that hunting river beasts is safe.

There are always soldiers injured and deaths.

This is also the reason why the tribal population has not increased much.

Although there are children who awaken the power of fire every year, many warriors also die.

Wu is so happy that so many children have awakened this year!

"A Liu, this kind of vine is very suitable for twisting into a rope. The longer it is, the better."

"I've asked Uncle Ji to make stone tools for you!"

"Although Wu has given you a bone knife, you should also prepare more other weapons."

"The bone knife should be used in critical moments!"

"Uncle Fan is the best at making wooden objects. He has promised to make you a fine bow."

Oak's chattering mode is on full blast.

An Qiqi listened and nodded from time to time.

Only relatives would nag like this, wanting to cram all their experiences into your head.

Very warm and tender!

The weather was sunny that day, suitable for outdoor activities.

The warriors of the Shun tribe were ready to fight. After a long hibernation, their muscles and bones were almost stiff.

An Qiqi's first hunt begins.

Two hundred soldiers, along with the children who had just awakened this year, came to the bank of the Li River.

The river bank they arrived at this time was not the one An Qiqi had seen before.

You still have to walk downstream for more than ten miles.

Therefore, the tribe sent out 200 warriors to protect the young warriors.

Twenty soldiers were divided into groups, each with four or five children, and lined up on the shore.

The soldiers don't have to do anything at all.

The carnivorous river beasts smelled the crowd and rushed over.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The warriors took aim at their respective targets and shot their spears at the river beast.

As long as the river beast is stabbed, the vine rope tied to the spear will be pulled towards the shore.

An Qiqi also shot out the spear in the same posture as shooting a javelin.

However, her spear was not as long as those of the great warriors.

puff!

Hit the target, awesome!

Bang...crash!

Lost?

Before An Qiqi could be happy, her spear fell into the water.

"Aliu, you hit it!"

While pulling out the spear he had shot, Li paid attention to Ning Qiqi's movements and did not forget to praise her.

As for An Qiqi's spear falling into the river, that's normal!

Didn’t you see who was next to you, and how they didn’t hit the target?

Must be praised!

"Aliu, not bad!"

Ji looked over and praised as well.

An Qiqi: ...

Well, she'll keep trying.

Soon, a river beast was pulled ashore by An Qiqi's group. They worked together and shot the same river beast together.

Ten warriors began to surround and kill.

The other ten warriors continued to shoot spears to provide cover and prevent other river beasts from rushing ashore.

An Qiqi took out a stone knife from his backpack and, together with other young warriors, rushed towards the river beast in various postures and slashed at it fiercely.

It's quite messy and there's almost no order.

Faced with the real ferocious beast, the young soldiers were nervous and had almost forgotten all the moves they had learned!

"Roar!"

The river beast's huge body kept twisting, and the wind it created was about to blow people away.

"Be careful to avoid!"

Thistle shouted in a loud voice.

If it was an experienced warrior, he would naturally not need to be reminded, but this time he was leading a novice.

At times like this, we cannot be stingy with the power of fire.

Run as fast as you can, follow the wind to dodge, and try your best to kill the river beast!

"That who, yes, I'm talking about you, where is your fire power?"

"The power of awakened fire is not for you to hide, use it all!"

"And you, watch your direction and don't run into the river beast's mouth! You're too small to fill its teeth."

"Hey there, what are you doing on the ground? Licking the river beast's feet?"

"I told you to hide behind the river beast's body, not to hide behind people directly!"

"Why did you run so far? Do you want to go back to the tribe and cry to your mother?"

"The one up there, are there river beasts in the sky? Why do you want to go up there so badly?"

As the leader of the hunting team, Ji was observing the situation of the entire hunting team.

He could see clearly all the mistakes made by the little soldiers.

The mistakes he pointed out were also very insightful.
