Patriarch enjoys meal

Chapter 40 The Lingqiang Tribe

Jiang was cooking wild vegetable soup, and Zhou had walked around him several times, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt amazing. The world is so big, it is not surprising that people are similar, but the two of them can no longer be described by similarity. This level is simply copying. pasted out.

Zhou Jiran always felt that this person must have something to do with him, so he said to Tao Jiang, "Do you think he is my previous life?"

Jiang, who looks exactly like him, the bronze tripod in Jiang's family, and the bound nine-tailed fox... They are always closely related to these things when they can come here.

Tao Jiang said: "Maybe."

Zhou Jiran wandered around two more times: "The bronze tripod was unearthed by itself in the playground of Wencang Middle School. I'm sure I haven't seen it before... As for the Nine-Tailed Fox, I've only seen it on the murals of your ancestral hall. Such a clear image."

"Do you think it's the same one?"

"I also have this guess, but I can't prove it." Tao Jiang said.

After all, the nine-tailed fox on the murals of the ancestral hall is still painted in a more divine way, and it has been repaired. It is really impossible to determine whether it is the same one.

There must be a connection between these, but now Zhou Ji can't figure it out.

Zhou already patted his forehead: "Forget it, let's take a step and see."

There's nothing they can do now.

It would be a lie to say that there is no panic when suddenly coming to a strange era. Although it is not a good idea to think this way, Zhou Jiran has indeed secretly rejoiced many times, and it is fortunate that Tao Jiang came here with him.When the two of them are together, he inexplicably has a lot of confidence in his heart, and he doesn't need to do anything, just being able to talk is good.

And he always felt in his heart that they could go back.

The wild vegetable soup was cooked quickly, ginger put a pinch of salt in it, and the bland wild vegetable soup seemed to have a little more aroma.

He specially used a shallow bowl to hold a bowl of soup for the unconscious nine-tailed fox, and placed it next to its head, so that it could drink it when it woke up.

And after he drank the remaining wild vegetable soup in two or three gulps, he began to get busy with the fresh herbs he carried back in the basket.

Outside the hut, a small yard surrounded by half-person-high branches and thorns came out, and there were a lot of medicinal materials drying on the ground. Jiang usually used these to treat simple injuries of the clan members.

Zhou Jiran took a bag of roasted potted meat and squatted in front of the bronze tripod while eating and studying it. This tripod looked the same as the one that just came out of the soil later, and the year could not be discerned.

Nine tripods for the son of heaven, seven tripods for princes, five tripods for high officials, three tripods for Yuan scholars... If it is a small tripod for cooking, it will be fine. The big tripod of this kind of ritual level has always been cast by the whole country. Will there be a tribe whose houses are just straw huts?

It's really strange.

After the wild vegetable soup turned from boiling hot to warm, Nine-Tailed Fox finally woke up.

It looked around vigilantly, looking confused as to why it was here, and only when it saw the figure drying herbs in the yard did it realize that it had escaped Qiongqi's clutches.After a happy "嘤", he ran to Jiang's feet with his tail flicking "ba da ba da", tilted his head and gently rubbed against his calf.

Seeing Jiang bending over to rub the chin of the Nine-Tailed Fox and stroking the big fluffy tail, Zhou Weiran's tone is not sure whether it is envy or surprise: "Do people in this era often pick up exotic beasts to take home? These nine...eight tails The fox doesn't have any psychological burden at all?"

Tao Jiang looked at the eager light in his eyes and thought: Maybe this has nothing to do with the times, he is just as bold as you.

Should it be said that he has the same face as Zhou Jiran?

Jiang hugged the Nine-Tailed Fox in his arms. He was a very picky eater. The Nine-Tailed Fox, who didn't even eat meat, just drank the rough and bland wild vegetable soup in small sips.

Zhou already bit down a bite of Guan Guan's meat, feeling very dissatisfied with Guan Guan's meat.After following the Nine-Tailed Fox for so many days, he has basically figured out the Nine-Tailed Fox’s diet. It will only be angry and kill birds when it is disturbed by the fragrant mouthful of irrigation and can’t sleep. It never eats , all are cheap for a week already.

You must know that the deliciousness of Guan Guan Pork is supported by literature, which is recorded in "Lu Shi Chunqiu·Ben Wei Pian"!

Now it has lost to wild vegetable soup!What an injustice!

Jiang touched the nine-tailed fox's chubby belly, and said to it softly, "Okay, there's no more soup. Today, someone from the clan sent half a rabbit, and it will be roasted for you to eat tonight."

The nine-tailed fox's eight tails wrapped ginger's wrists like petals, sticky and crooked in Jiang's arms and refused to go down. This cute and funny ginger herb is no longer in the sun. Who cares if I just hugged it and played all afternoon Claw on top of the game.

Zhou Jiran couldn't bear to look straight at him: "As expected of a Nine-Tailed Fox, I can't even act like a baby."

Tao Jiang also felt that the progress of one person and one fox was too fast: "Nine-tailed fox is too close to him."

Zhou Jiran looked at the herbal medicines in the courtyard, and suddenly thought: "In ancient times, there was no distinction between medicine and witches. It is our preconceived idea. In this era, he may not be a doctor, but more likely... a wizard."

Witches are ghosts and gods, and they are also those who pray to cure diseases and ask for blessings.

During this period, strange beasts were rampant and human beings were weak. Basically every tribe had a wizard, who took on the important task of communicating with the gods and guiding the tribe to avoid disasters. They performed sacrifices, divination, prayer, singing and dancing, and cured diseases and disasters with one hand.

At this time, the wizards and the wizards of the later generations who exorcised ghosts and danced gods were completely different concepts.

Already counted as half a priesthood.

"...No wonder he was so calm when he picked up the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Nine-Tailed Fox was also willing to get close to him...The bronze tripod in the house is also a sacrificial vessel for him," Zhou said somewhat Envious, "To be able to use such a great tripod, he must be a powerful wizard..."

"You are also very good..." Before Tao Jiang could finish his comforting words, Zhou Jiran had already adjusted his mentality.

"As expected of my previous life, decent!" Although the other party couldn't see it, Zhou Jiran stretched out his hand to give him a big compliment.

"..." Tao Jiang said: "Is this already confirmed to be the previous life? Will it be too hasty?"

Zhou Weiran said: "He and I must have a close relationship, isn't it the previous life, is it the ancestor? Then my atavistic inheritance is too - far away... Well, it is not impossible, if it is really me Ancestor, then this is the victory of genes!"

Living in the tribe, there are a lot of people, and there are many people who come to Jiang to see a doctor and get medicine every day. In order not to be discovered, the Nine-Tailed Fox was strictly ordered not to go out during the day by Jiang, so he could only sleep in a shed. It's just a house fox. Later, it simply nested in the bronze tripod and packed the dignified ritual vessels into a fox's den.

Nine-tailed Fox has Jiang serving three meals a day, so he doesn't have to worry about food and drink, but Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang's food reserves are about to run out.

The meat of different animals is not perishable and can be preserved for a long time, but it can't withstand two people eating it as a staple food.

If the nine-tailed fox doesn't go hunting, they can't eat it. Zhou has already degenerated to the point where he puts ginger-sunned herbal medicine in his mouth as a snack.

Tao Jiang was much calmer, he didn't eat for a few meals, and found that he just felt a little empty, and after there were no other adverse effects, he directly gave up eating.

Zhou Weiran, who was throwing himself on the stone slab in the courtyard and enjoying the sun + breeze drying activities with the medicinal materials, saw the girl outside the courtyard gate, rushed to the best position to eat melons with a carp, and did not give Tao Jiang report.

"Tao Jiang! She's here again, and she brought a bunch of flowers today!"

The girl hovering at the gate of the courtyard is the daughter of the tribal chief, named Anayi.In Zhou Weiran's words, this girl said: I don't know if she has other skills, but anyway, she has a very good vision.After falling in love with Jiang, she ran here every day like clocking in at work. During the time they were here, the girl never missed a day.

"Jiang, my coming-of-age ceremony is just a few days away, and you're going to give me a hairpin!"

Zhou Ziran has been out wandering a lot these days and listened to a lot of gossip.

This tribe is called the Lingqiang tribe, and the girls who have made a marriage contract in the tribe will accept the hairpins from their fiancés at the coming-of-age ceremony. This is a blessing and a promise to work together for a lifetime in the future.

A girl without a marriage contract accepting a man's hairpin on this occasion is to communicate with each other and announce the meaning of the whole family.

Anayi has a fiery personality, and she is not shy when she speaks such words that are almost a confession, her flushed face is full of excitement: "I like red sparrow flowers, if you give me other ones, I won't accept them!"

As she spoke, she stuffed a large handful of fiery red tongues into Jiang's arms, and said loudly: "This is it, there are many behind the tribe, don't pick the wrong one!"

Jiang put the flowers on the shelf next to the medicinal materials, didn't say whether to agree or not, turned around and took a plate of red and bright small fruits and handed them to Anayi. Although the voice was always gentle, it was also distant and restrained: "It's morning. It’s just picked, eat and play with it.”

"Hmph, these little dolls love to eat every time, we don't know what our little dolls like." Having said that, she still quickly grabbed a handful, with a clearly happy expression on her face.

Anayi turned and ran outside, the two big braids tied behind her head jumped briskly with her footsteps, and the girl's clear voice faded away a little bit: "You have to remember, I'll wait for you!"

As soon as the man left, the Nine-Tailed Fox poked out its small furry head from the bronze tripod, and the white fur around its mouth was still stained with some red wild fruit juice.

Standing in the cauldron, it stretched out its paws towards Jiang with an inexplicable expression, and barked softly twice, Jiang hugged it into his arms, and wrapped its eight tails around Jiang's arms and neck. It has grown up these days Quite a lot, and lost some of the young fox appearance.

Jiang twirled a fruit to feed it, and smiled more sincerely: "It's okay to eat more of the fruit trees you found. I just gave some to others, so don't be discouraged."

The nine-tailed fox nodded while eating the fruit, wondering if he understood.

After watching a good show, Zhou's drowsiness, which had been baked by the sun, almost disappeared: "Do you think he will go to give Anayi a hairpin?"

After saying this nonsense, Zhou Jiran didn't wait for Tao Jiang to open his mouth, and he answered himself: "Ten chances are that I won't go, the poor little girl is so kind."

Zhou Jiran lightly tapped the pattern on the bronze tripod with his hand, and felt that this Lingqiang tribe was weird everywhere.

The status of the wizard is so high. Although the clansmen here will occasionally send some of their own prey, they have no respect for Jiang. Except for medical treatment, they will not set foot here at other times.

Although Anayi runs here every day, every time he stays here for a few minutes, someone will come to look for him.

Jiang guards a bronze tripod by himself, and lives alone in the small courtyard in the center of the Lingqiang people.

Even collecting herbs can only go out once every three days.

Once he stepped out of the courtyard gate, there would always be countless faint sights entwined on him.

"He's not like a wizard of a tribe, but more like a... prey raised by the whole clan."
