Chapter 51 Kicking Shuttlecock
With the participation of all tribe members, the wooden houses of the Black Deer tribe were quickly erected one after another.
To accommodate the entire tribe, more buildings need to be constructed.
The cockfighting game culture originated from the Black Deer tribe and quickly spread to all primitive tribes.
After drilling holes in all the logs that the group of primitive people had brought back from the primeval forest, Xu Que yawned as if he hadn't slept all night and yelled, "Did you not sleep at all last night? I vaguely heard you asking me to play rope skipping in my dream!"
"Yeah! I didn't sleep all night and I can conjure up wood, a cave, a rabbit, and a lighter with this rope! I'll show you!" Hou said, taking a cowhide rope from his animal-hide food bag. He held it across Xu Que's hands, then stretched out his fingers, flipping it up and down, left and right, before moving the rope to his own hands and showing it to Xu Que: "How about it? This is wood! Doesn't it look like wood?"
"Yeah! It really does look like it! I've discovered that you're a really smart girl! So smart it's almost enviable! But staying up so late playing rope skipping games is just ridiculous!"
"This is so much fun! From now on, I'm going to study this every night! It will improve my imagination and hands-on skills! Hold my hand over here again, I'll try this trick and see if it works!" Hou said once, but Xu Que didn't react, so Hou forcibly pulled his hand over, pried open his fingers, and forcibly wrapped the rope around his hand: "Hmm! Don't move like this! Let me study it properly!" Hou looked at the leather rope on Xu Que's hand while stroking his chin in thought.
Another shipment of timber from Hagang, Pingyao, and other tribal members has been delivered, and drilling holes is urgently needed.
"I've drilled a hole! I'm going to drill a hole in the wood now! I'll play later!"
"No way! Finish this game and I'll play with you! It'll be quick! Okay? Be good, God Brother! I love you! I love you so much!" Hou kissed Xu Que's forehead and lips gently and said coquettishly.
After being teased like this by his beloved girl, Xu Que suddenly became excited and seemed to have a special fondness for the rope again: he stretched out his hands, turning and twisting them left and right: "Look at this, what is it?"
"Heart to heart?" Hou looked down at the horn-shaped heart-shaped pendant that Xu Que had given her, which was hanging around her neck.
"Wow! How did you do that? I want to learn! Do it again, darling!" Hou shouted at Xu Que, repeating the same trick.
Xu Que did it again.
"Hahaha! I've learned it, I've learned it!" He shouted, looking very pleased with himself and full of a sense of accomplishment.
"Shall we drill holes in the wood now?" Xu Que said gently, holding a multi-functional power drill in his hand.
Hou nodded repeatedly, put the cowhide rope into the animal skin food bag, and helped Xu Que hold the wood to make a hole.
The Black Deer tribe's chief, Hua, and deputy chief were also studying how to open the rope.
The chief, bracing himself against the leather ropes binding his hands, ran up to the man who was holding onto the log and helping Xu Que drill holes, and asked for advice: "How do we drive this down? We can't seem to get it going!"
With his hands still on the wood, he stretched out his neck to examine the rope in his hands: "You guys try playing with it first, and I'll finish supporting this piece of wood!"
With the help of Hou, Xu Que quickly finished drilling all the holes in the wood.
Hou flipped and tumbled around in the rope held up by Hua's hands. After fiddling with it for a while, the two looked at each other and chuckled, looking at the shape of the rope in their hands: "A shoehorn?"
"These are wooden-soled, leather-upholstered slippers!" the Black Deer Tribe's deputy chieftain said, pointing to the rope that Hou was holding.
"Uh! What was I doing just now? I forgot! How did I end up making wooden-soled, leather-upholstered slippers? I didn't expect that either!" Hou looked at Xu Que with surprise and astonishment.
The strong and healthy members of the Black Deer tribe would gather in groups of three or five to engage in cockfighting during their downtime after logging.
The elderly, the infirm, the disabled, women, and children all held a cowhide rope in their hands, and they would gather together in groups of two, three, or four, five, or six to play rope games.
The tribe's deputy chief initially enjoyed discussing and playing rope skipping with Hua.
After witnessing the intense game of tag between the tribe's men, she developed a liking for it!
Although the deputy leader of the Black Deer tribe was a woman, her strong physique was her asset in the cockfighting game.
Apart from losing to Hagang and Pingyao, no one else in the Black Deer tribe can rival the female deputy leader, Fighting Cock!
"You guys have fun with the rope skipping! I'm going to play cockfighting with them!" The female deputy leader of the Black Deer tribe patted Hua and Hou on the shoulder and walked towards the male members who were playing cockfighting.
She quickly joined the brawl among the tribe's male members.
The Black Deer tribe leader lived up to her reputation as a leader. Facing an attack from five or six tribe members, she was not afraid at all. She fought against five people at once and managed to defeat them all simultaneously.
The deputy leader usually uses the "Thunderbolt from the Blue Sky" move, launching an attack from a distance, using the momentum to charge directly into the enemy ranks, and then wreaking havoc!
Hou, Xu Que, and others cheered and applauded as they watched.
Hua was so amused by the deputy leader that she fell to the ground laughing and couldn't get up.
"Hahaha! This is hilarious! This leader is absolutely laughable!"
"Look, the leader is charging forward again!" Hua pointed at the deputy leader in the "battlefield" and said to Hou and Xu Que.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, the deputy leader was unstoppable. With a single, devastating move, he swept through the enemy lines, knocking down all the male members of the tribe except for Hagang and Pingyao.
When faced with Ha Gang and Ping Yao, the deputy leader could only turn and run away.
Pingyao, Hagang, and the deputy leader formed a three-way power struggle.
Pingyao, trying to win over the deputy chieftain, said, "Chieftain! I think we should unite and fight against the outside world! Defeat Hagang! Let Hagang, the legendary descendant of the Four Great Vajras, witness the power of the original Julu tribe members!"
“Alright! You go first, I’ll ambush him from behind!” the Black Deer tribe’s deputy leader said to Pingyao.
Pingyao charged straight at Hagang, while the leader circled around and launched a sneak attack.
Ha Gang avoided engaging Pingyao directly, instead heading straight for the deputy leader.
Pingyao saw through Hagang's feint and realized that Hagang's target was the leader. He quickly chased after him, trying to salvage the situation. But Hagang didn't give Pingyao a chance at all. He used a sudden, powerful move to knock the female deputy leader to the ground, limbs in the air!
"Hahaha! Now it's just the two of us! I no longer have to worry about being attacked from both sides! Come on! Use all your strength as a strongman!" Ha Gang said to Pingyao after setting up his defense.
"Go! Go! Crash him! Crash him in Pingyao! Avenge me!" The deputy leader of the Black Deer tribe shouted, clenching his fist as big as a wooden fish.
With the leader's support, Pingyao mustered her courage and charged toward Hagang.
After three rounds, he was mercilessly pushed several meters by Hagang and fell to the ground, swallowing a mouthful of dirt!
