The annual primitive barter fair is approaching, and Hua is preparing to wear her wooden-soled, cowhide slippers to the fair.

While his inspiration for carving was still fresh, Xu Que glanced at it with a smile and shouted, "I'll make you something else!"

Hou looked at Xu Que with expectant eyes and nodded repeatedly.

Xu Que got up and started a fire, took out a multi-functional power drill, changed to a drill bit with a cutting function, found the largest cow horn, cut it into the shape of a water cup, and then put the part that was set aside to make a handle on the fire to heat it.

When the temperature of the reserved part rises high enough to bend it, Xu Que uses a twig to hold it down and bend it. After it cools down, a cup is finished.

Xu Que then took a piece from a large bull horn, made it into a round cup base, and inlaid it into the bottom of the cup. He then used fire to melt resin and sealed it into the gaps at the bottom of the bull horn cup. After cooling, the task was completed!

He switched to the tip of the engraving pen and engraved the image of the roaring figure on the surface of the horn cup, while engraving two Hello Kitty patterns holding hands on the back.

Xu Que majored in graphic design in his previous life and was an art student in high school. After graduating from university, he worked in the wood carving industry for many years. Carving and drawing were things he was tired of, and today he just happened to be in a good mood and played around with it.

Hou bent down and picked up the exquisitely crafted horn cup, examining it closely before exclaiming, "Is this for me? It's so beautiful! I recognized myself immediately! The long, flowing hair is so lifelike!"

"Hmph! You old bastard! You draw so well on your own, yet you deliberately ask me to be your teacher! Are you bullying me? I hate you!" Hou said dejectedly, taking out his own stone tablet commemorative album from the animal skin food bag he carried with him in one hand and holding the exquisite ox horn cup that Xu Que had just finished in the other.

"What's wrong? I think you draw really well! I can't draw your simple style! No matter what, you're still my teacher!" Xu Que said as he continued his work.

Upon hearing Xu Que's words, Hou snorted and gently put the exquisitely crafted ox horn cup into his animal skin food bag. He then squatted down and leaned closer to Xu Que: "What is this carved? Is it a gift for me?"

"Of course! This is a necklace! Made of ox horn! It can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune!" Xu Que managed to squeeze out a sentence amidst his busy schedule.

"This is a 'Heart to Heart' carving! The heart on the left is mine! It has the character '缺' (missing) written on it! The heart on the right represents you, and it has the character '吼' (roar) written on it! My heart is slightly higher than yours, which means I'm taller than you! It also means that even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up! I'm willing to bear everything for you!" Xu Que blew a puff of air onto the carved "Heart to Heart" to remove the horn shavings. He then replaced the horn with a fine polishing head and polished it while speaking to the roar.

Hearing what the Heavenly God said, I really didn't know what to say. The emotion and gratitude in my heart surged up instantly, and I couldn't express it in words for a moment.

If she weren't worried about disturbing her god brother's serious work, she really wanted to drag him into the cave and kiss him from head to toe, and then from toe to head! Up and down, left and right, inside and out, leaving no blind spot, kissing him completely!

Xu Que placed the polished heart-shaped pendant aside.

Take out a boning knife and shave thin, thread-like leather cords from a large piece of cowhide. Separate several leather cords in pairs and interweave them to form leather cords as thick as mouse cables. Thread the leather cords together to form a heart-shaped pendant, and a beautiful token of love is complete.

She took it in her hand, held it up to her eyes and looked at it in the sun. It was like an infinitely beautiful kaleidoscope. She had never seen anything so beautiful before.

"Wow! This leather rope is so beautifully woven! My brother wove two hairy strands on the outside and two hairless strands on the inside, and then shaved off a thin layer of leather and placed it in the middle. The visual impact of these three colors intertwined is so strong!" Hou said, hanging the keepsake tied to the leather rope around his neck.

"What's the character '缺' (qu, meaning 'missing') engraved on this big, shiny heart? And what's '吼' (hou, meaning 'roar') engraved on it?" Hou clutched the heart-shaped pendant tightly in his hand, then took it off his neck and put it into his animal-hide food bag, finally unsure where to put it! He was so protective of it, afraid it would break if he held it in his mouth!

Xu Que took the pendant from Hou's hand and gently hugged her: "The characters on the big heart and the small heart together mean: Que Hou."

"Need a roar? Who needs a roar?"

"Xu Queque roars!" Xu Que clenched his fist, bent his thumb, and pointed at himself.

"Hou Que? Hou Que Xu Que!" Hou also imitated Xu Que, half-clenching her fist and bending her thumb, pointing at herself.

"Hmm! So smart!" Xu Que gently patted her head with an appreciative and encouraging look.

At this moment, she felt so happy that she didn't know how to express it! She pouted and looked up at Xu Que: "Brother, let's get married!"

Xu Que was taken aback: "Why did you use the word 'marriage'? Did I teach you that? I can't remember."

As if he hadn't understood what Xu Que had just said, Hou repeated with sincere eyes, "Brother, let's get married!"

"Yes!" Xu Que nodded repeatedly: "Wearing this token of love, you are my wife! I swear I will treat you well for the rest of my life! I will take care of you for the rest of my life! I will listen to you for the rest of my life! Until death do us part!"

Hou saw sincerity and burning passion in Xu Que's eyes. As for what "unwavering until death" meant, she felt that saying it or not was completely unnecessary!

As long as the Heavenly God Brother is willing, his eyes and feelings will tell him everything!

After lobbying various tribes for some time, Ji, the leader of the Black Goose tribe, finally brought together ten downstream tribes for the first major cooperation in history.

Everyone in the tribe is actively preparing for the upcoming primitive barter conference!

Hou lay on the straw mat, hugging Xu Que, playing with his beloved token of love, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Xu Que, bored out of his mind, plucked a straw from the straw mat on his bed, unable to fall asleep even as he roared.

They didn't speak, didn't argue, and just waited quietly.

When all the tribe members were asleep, Hou pulled Xu Que's hand and got out of bed, leading them to the outside of the cave.

It was quiet outside, and the moon was so round. Soft moonlight streamed down from the depths of the sky, shining on Hou, as if draping her in a pure white wedding dress!

Hou took Xu Que's hand and placed it on her chest, saying in a soft, expectant voice, "Brother, let's get married!"

"Yes!" Xu Que roared and knelt down as well.

First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other, then they are led to the bridal chamber!
