Chapter 68 Tribal Hairstyles (2)
Seeing that Hou and the others were very interested in getting their hairstyles done, Hua, the leader of the Black Deer tribe, instructed the members of the tribal elders to inform the members of the primitive tribe that anyone who wanted a trendy hairstyle should hurry up and come over to line up.
If anyone doesn't want to come, or doesn't have time to come, then they can come whenever they want or when they have time.
In any case, the Black Deer Tribe is going to carry out a three-month campaign to standardize the tribe's hairstyles.
"His head is a bit big, what hairstyle do you think would suit him?" Hou asked thoughtfully, taking a few steps back while holding Xu Que's electric clippers.
"Shave the left side, leave the right side untouched! How about that?" Xu Que shouted without hesitation.
"Hmm! I'll take that suggestion! But I need to make a slight modification: cut the hair on the right side of his head a little shorter, not as long as it is now! If it's not cut, it will probably affect the primitive man's hunting! When designing a hairstyle, you must consider both aesthetics and practicality!" After saying that, Hou followed Xu Que's suggestion and shaved off one side of the primitive man's hair, leaving the other side.
Xu Que had a sudden inspiration. He took out the boning knife he had previously exchanged from the system warehouse and started cleaning up the mess on the side of the caveman's head that had been shaved off by the roar!
"Huh? Your boning knife is this sharp even when shaving hair?" Hou looked at Xu Que in disbelief.
"Sharp my ass! Only I know if it hurts!" The primitive man, yelled at for having his hair styled, grimaced as Xu Que shaved his head with his boning knife!
"Uh! Sorry! I'll get you some water, that might help a little!" Xu Que said, filling a wooden bucket with water and placing it beside him. He then helped scrape the remaining bits of water from the bucket into the clean area.
Finally, after the black deer symbol was carved on the head of the primitive man, the hairstyle design was completed.
"I want a hairstyle that looks like these fruits!" shouted a creature holding two pear-like primitive fruits.
"You mean you want to make its shape on top of your head?"
"Yes! Make it as realistic as possible! The more realistic the better!"
"Okay!" Hou said, then took out a twig, a pencil, and some dye from his animal-hide food bag. He traced the shape of the fruit the primitive man had been holding onto his head, drawing a simple outline. Then he shaved off all the hair outside the outline, leaving only the hair inside. Finally, he added the Black Deer tribe's emblem, and the hairstyle was complete!
"Next!"
Hua stood beside Hou, assisting her while shouting.
What kind of hairstyle do you want?
"You decide! You can cut my hair whatever hairstyle suits my temperament!" said a primitive man with hairy cheeks.
"Hmm! Looks like this guy's a pretty laid-back caveman! How about we shave his head? I think a bald head would suit him better!" Xu Que suggested to Hou.
"Oh no! A bald head doesn't suit his style! Looks like I need to design a really cool hairstyle for him." Hou rested his chin on his hand, took a few steps back, then a few steps forward, pondering what kind of hairstyle he should design for this rather laid-back caveman!
Xu Que stood quietly beside her, watching without saying a word, which could be considered as his support for Hou's design.
Hou studied the seemingly Zen-like caveman for a long time before slowly starting to use the electric clippers.
She first left three tufts of hair on the forehead of the primitive man, representing the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, namely Laozi, Lingbao Daojun, and Yuanshi Tianzun!
After leaving Sanqing, she handed the electric clippers to Xu Que without saying a word, and went straight to the Black Deer Tribe cave to retrieve a wooden bowl.
They placed the bowl on the primitive man's head and used a twig to trace a large circle along the rim of the bowl.
Next, take two small bowls, cut along the edge of the circle drawn on the large bowl, and place them side by side, so that the bottom edge of the second bowl cuts into the other side of the circle drawn on the large bowl. Hold both bowls down with one hand, and with the other hand, use a twig-shaped pen to draw a semi-circle along the edge of the first small bowl inside the large circle drawn on the large bowl. Then, draw a semi-circle to the right of the second small bowl inside the large circle. Finally, draw two small circles inside each of the semi-circles drawn on the small bowls.
And that completes the Bagua diagram.
Xu Que stared in astonishment as Hou drew the Bagua diagram on the primitive man's head with just a few bowls, his eyes darting around: "Did you invent the Three Pure Ones and the Bagua diagram yourself?"
"Have you forgotten? You taught me all of this when we used to lie in bed at night with nothing to do and couldn't sleep!" Hou said to Xu Que with a happy grin after designing the hairstyle.
"Wow! You have such a good memory! I had almost forgotten! You still remember it, you're so smart!" Xu Que gave him a thumbs up.
“Since we’ve come this far! The Bagua diagram on his head looks a bit monotonous. Should we add a few more? Yin and Yang, with both Yin and Yang, I think there should be two!” Xu Que suggested to Hou again.
Hou adopted Xu Que's suggestion this time: "Then let's add Bagua diagrams here, here, and here! Four or five won't be monotonous!"
With a roar, he created four or five Bagua diagrams on the primitive man's head.
"Hmm! Now the effect is showing! It looks great! Your hairstyle is finished! You can walk around here and let everyone see how it looks!"
The primitive man stood up and, amidst the envious gazes of his fellow tribesmen, circled the large stone placed in front of the tribe's gate a few times.
The other members of the tribe, who were waiting in line for haircuts and hairstyles, were extremely envious. They couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! This hairstyle is so beautiful! At first glance, it looks like the spots on a leopard, exuding a powerful aura! I want a hairstyle like that too! Exactly the same as his! I don't want anything different!"
He has never been interested in doing something twice.
"Brother Xu Que! Go and do it! Is there anyone else who likes this Bagua diagram hairstyle? If so, line up here!" Hou said, pointing at Xu Que who was holding a boning knife.
The primitive people who had been clamoring for the Bagua-patterned hairstyle hesitated when they saw the boning knife in Xu Que's hand: "This thing that the gods use can chop meat and bones, but if you use it to shave your hair, it'll probably hurt you to death! What's the difference between this old knife and pulling out hair? I think I'd better not have this Bagua-patterned hairstyle!"
"Then I don't want it!"
"I don't want it anymore! I'm afraid of the pain!"
"Huh? What's wrong with you bunch of cavemen? Anyone who wants this Bagua pattern hairstyle, get in line here! There were so many people scrambling for it just a moment ago, and now there's nobody left? Forget it! I won't even bother with you later!"
