Those people who were brought back by Kumano and had been slaves of the Giant Tiger Tribe for a long time eventually joined the Big Bear Tribe.
Then, all the warriors he had captured from the Giant Tiger Tribe were killed.
The three hundred people that Hu Tian brought to attack the Big Bear Tribe were all the most powerful warriors of the Giant Tiger Tribe, and these warriors had undoubtedly invaded other tribes, and when they were in the tribe, they were also qualified to use slaves. In other words, they were basically hated.
Now that all the slaves of the Giant Tiger Tribe have come to the Big Bear Tribe, they are naturally being sought for revenge.
No one tried to stop this, and in the end, the powerful Giant Tiger Tribe, which had roamed the wild forest for decades, just vanished into thin air.
After these people joined the Big Bear Tribe, they started to get busy.
Pottery can improve the lives of people in the tribe, but it is actually not a big deal, so the work of firing pottery was put on hold as everyone was mainly busy storing food and collecting firewood.
Where the Big Bear Tribe is located, the winter lasts for more than a hundred days, and almost seventy or eighty of those days are extremely cold and it is difficult to find much food. During that time, the tribe will not organize collective hunting.
In this case, in order to better survive the winter, we need to prepare a lot of food. Not only that, everyone will try hard to eat and fatten themselves up before winter comes.
Kumano couldn't control himself.
He has been eating a lot recently, and not only has his animal form become fatter, but even his human form has gained a little weight and become more handsome.
Kumano squatted by the pond in front of his house, looking at his reflection in the water, and felt that he had become more handsome.
And today is the day when the handsome guy takes over as the patriarch.
There is no need for collective hunting in the tribe today. In addition, tasks such as collecting firewood have also been suspended. Everyone gathered in the valley to participate in the ceremony of Kumano's succession as the chief.
The Big Bear tribe had always been struggling on the edge of food and clothing, and they did not take such ceremonies seriously at all. Take Xionghe for example... After Kumano's father passed away, he was forced to become the tribe leader.
At that time, the priest just sang a few songs and danced a little, and that was it.
But this time it's different.
After discussing with Xiong He, the priest decided to conduct this ceremony well, so that those who had just joined the Big Bear Tribe would know that the Big Bear Tribe had a solid foundation.
Although those who had newly joined the Big Bear Tribe had a good impression of the tribe, they had not been here long after all and often stayed with people from their original tribes, so they did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Big Bear Tribe.
The priest wanted to use this ceremony to make these people realize that the Big Bear Tribe is very strong and that they are now members of the Big Bear Tribe.
So, they specially organized a unique ceremony, and in order to avoid mistakes, they even asked Kumano to rehearse it.
"Zhou Ji, you must attend the ceremony later." After looking at his own appearance in the water, Kumano said to Zhou Ji while washing his face with water in his hands.
"Okay." Zhou Ji agreed, but he was a little helpless: "Why don't you use hot water?"
Zhou Ji was very satisfied with their new house. Since having this house, it became convenient for him to cook and boil water.
The first thing he did every morning when he got up was to boil water.
But Kumano never uses hot water.
"I don't need it, you can use it." Xiong Ye said. Boiling water is also quite troublesome. Zhou Ji not only needs to use hot water to wash his face, but also needs to drink hot water and take a bath... It's better to leave the hot water to Zhou Ji.
Thinking of this, Kumano immediately decided to go outside and get some wood after the ceremony was over - he wanted to prepare more firewood at home.
Otherwise, how will Zhou Ji survive this winter?
Xiongye quickly washed his face, combed his hair, and found the clothes Zhou Ji made for him and put them on.
"And shoes." Zhou Ji took a pair of shoes and gave them to Kumano. He made these shoes based on Kumano's feet over the past few days. The soles were made of layers of animal skins, and the uppers were made of plant fibers.
"Is this for me?" Xiong Ye was a little hesitant when he saw the shoes. He felt that such shoes must be uncomfortable to wear... He thought that Zhou Ji made these for him, but he didn't expect that they were actually for him.
"Try it on." Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye couldn't bear to refuse Zhou Ji, so he put it on immediately.
Even if the shoes are uncomfortable, he has already decided to wear them for a day. After all, these shoes are very troublesome to make. Zhou Ji has not gone out these days and has been staying at home making shoes.
Xiong Ye didn't know that Zhou Ji didn't spend much effort making these shoes and he stayed at home just to sleep. He was quite touched at this moment.
And when he put on his shoes... he looked at his feet in surprise.
He thought his feet would be uncomfortable being wrapped in something, but the opposite was unexpected.
His feet feel particularly comfortable wearing such a pair of shoes.
Kumano moved his toes and took a few steps. He felt his feet warm up. The warmth surged up from the soles of his feet and eventually spread throughout his body.
"I also made a belt for you." Zhou Ji took out a leather belt made of black animal skin and ceramic buckles and tied it around Kumano's waist. Then, he took out a necklace and hung it around Kumano's neck.
This necklace is made of some colored stones. These stones are colorful and very beautiful. Zhou Ji did not polish them and just put them on. It is a very long necklace with a rough beauty. Kumano looks very handsome dressed like this.
Zhou Ji thought Kumano would like this necklace, and Kumano indeed liked it.
He liked collecting all kinds of colorful stones since he was a child. He collected a bunch of them at first, but later he wanted to become a partner with Shi Li and felt that they were taking up space, so he gave them away. But he was actually reluctant to let them go. Now Zhou Ji made him a necklace like this...
Xiong Ye hugged Zhou Ji and kissed him: "Zhou Ji, you are so nice."
Zhou Ji: “…” The stones hanging on the necklace on Kumano’s body are smaller on the top and bigger on the bottom. The largest one is almost the size of an egg and has not been polished.
When Kumano hugged him, the stone pricked him and it hurt a little.
"Let's go." Zhou Ji said, and walked out with Xiong Ye.
As soon as I walked out of the door, a cold wind blew towards me.
Xiong Ye immediately walked in front of Zhou Ji and helped Zhou Ji block the wind.
But he was actually not taller than Zhou Ji, so he couldn't block it at all... Zhou Ji chuckled and used his mental strength and energy to block some of the wind.
The two walked forward together, and soon they arrived at the valley where the Big Bear tribe lived.
At this moment, there were already many people in the valley, and the air was filled with the smell of barley tea - a big fire was lit in the middle of the tribe, with a stone pot on top, and what was being cooked in the stone pot was barley tea.
There were also people standing next to the stone pot, scooping barley tea for everyone who came.
When he scoops barley tea, he will scoop the barley together. On a day like this when the weather has turned cold, drinking a bowl of hot barley tea and then chewing and eating the barley at the bottom of the bowl... this is a very happy thing.
"Zhou Ji, I made a delicious barley tea!" Seeing Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye coming together, the priest came over with a ceramic cup: "Do you want to drink it?"
Zhou Ji had already smelled it, and said without hesitation: "No."
The priest was extremely disappointed, but he still tried to sell the product: "It's really delicious! I put a little oil and salt in the bowl, and the barley tea made in this way is very fragrant!"
Zhou Ji: “…” This should no longer be barley tea, but barley soup.
While Zhou Ji was talking to the priest, those who had just joined the Big Bear Tribe were all looking at Zhou Ji.
It has been more than ten days since Xiong Ye brought his people back to the tribe. During these ten days, these people have become familiar with the priests and Xiong He, but they have never even seen Zhou Ji, the messenger of the Beast God.
Now that they finally saw it, they were naturally curious.
“This guy is really good looking.”
“He wears nice clothes, too.”
"He is Zhou Ji?"
…
Everyone was discussing this, and someone said, "I heard that Zhou Ji is the messenger of the Beast God, so he knows everything... Do you think he can have children?"
Zhou Ji, whose mental power was very useful, heard everything clearly: "..."
By the time the barley tea was finished, all the people in the tribe were present.
At this time, the priest walked to the open space in the middle of the valley and said, "Today is the day when Xiong Ye succeeds as the chief of the Great Bear Tribe. I will pray here and ask the Beast God to bless my tribe..."
The priest gave a long speech, and when he had finished, he began to dance again.
Zhou Ji felt that the priest's dance was as eye-catching as ever.
If Kumano were to dance, he would definitely be able to do it beautifully... Wait, Kumano should stop dancing like this. If he wants to dance, he should do it alone in his room and dance for him to see.
After the dance, the priest began to speak again, and had someone bring a bowl of meat, a fish, a bowl of boiled barley and a bowl of earth eggs: "Great beast god, I will give you delicious food, may you bless our tribe..."
The priest caused a lot of trouble and was quite a hassle.
All of this seemed incredibly simple to Zhou Ji, who had participated in many ceremonies in modern times, but the ordinary orcs watching around were all watching very seriously.
Those who had just joined the Big Bear Tribe were even more impressed when they saw this scene - the Big Bear Tribe was indeed different!
They didn't know that the successor to the chieftain would have to do such a thing... The people of the Big Bear Tribe know so much!
These people looked at those who were born and raised in the Big Bear Tribe with envy, thinking that they must have had a very good life since childhood. However, they didn't know that those who were born and raised in the Big Bear Tribe were actually a little confused at this moment.
They had never known before that the successor to the clan leader would have so many things to do!
They were so careless before!
After singing and dancing, the priest asked the people in the tribe to dance with him, even Kumano and Xionghe.
Everyone jumped up, except Zhou Ji and a few people who couldn't jump, namely children who couldn't walk yet.
Zhou Ji felt that he was a little out of place with his surroundings, but he really couldn't dance.
Zhou Ji had heard from Kumano a long time ago that the succession ceremony would be a bit complicated, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this... But it was really lively.
Although he couldn't understand it, it was obvious that everyone else was happy, and Kumano was especially happy.
Finally, Kumano took a pottery stick from Xionghe's hand.
This stick should be one of the pottery that was recently fired, but it is obvious that it has now become a symbol of power... Zhou Ji saw Xiong Ye holding the stick high above his head and said, "Big Bear Tribe! Big Bear Tribe!"
Everyone started shouting, "Big Bear Tribe! Big Bear Tribe!"
The atmosphere was very lively for a while, and afterwards, everyone gathered together to eat.
Everyone was very happy, except Xiong He.
He was unhappy not because he had handed over the position of chief, but because... just as he was happily preparing to eat, the priest said to him: "Xiong He, you must memorize what I said and danced in the ceremony today, and have your students memorize them later. This is how the succession ceremony of the chief of the Great Bear Tribe will be conducted! The succession ceremony of the priest can also be conducted this way!"
Xiong He: “…” If he had known earlier, he would have asked the priest to say less! So what did the priest say before?
He really doesn't want to memorize it at all!
Wait, let’s not think about whether he can memorize the poem or not for now, let’s first try to find a suitable student for the priest!
He is old and really can’t carry it anymore!
When Xionghe was depressed, Kumano was in high spirits.
He smiled and talked to everyone in the tribe. Finally, he came to Zhou Ji and took Zhou Ji's hand: "Zhou Ji, let's go dance."
Zhou Ji didn't want to dance at all, but perhaps because Xiong Ye's eyes were too passionate, he actually stood up and really followed him to dance...
Although everyone can dance this dance casually, it seems that dancing like this can make people very happy?
Zhou Ji’s idea was correct. After such a lively commotion, the people of the Big Bear Tribe became happy.
The smiles on the faces of those who had been slaves in darkness for a long time became bigger and bigger.
Everyone became even more motivated, and under Kumano's leadership, they stored a lot of firewood and food.
There was an empty room where Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye lived. Before Zhou Ji noticed, Xiong Ye filled it with all kinds of things. The firewood alone filled half of the room.
This is not all the firewood... Kumano put all the thick and large logs outside the house.
Everyone was busy, and winter came quietly.
When Zhou Ji woke up one morning, he suddenly found it was snowing outside.
All preparations have been made and the time has come... The priest immediately said that winter has begun. At the same time, the tribe took out the stored food and distributed it to everyone in the tribe.
Kumano got a lot of meat. When he took the meat home, he saw Zhou Ji standing under the eaves, looking at the snowflakes.
"Zhou Ji, it's cold outside, why don't you stay in the house?" Xiong Ye asked.
"I'm watching the snow." Zhou Ji said. It has been many years since he last saw such a snowy scene.
No, he had never seen such a snow scene before.
The scenery here is so beautiful, and the people here are so nice.
Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye took the meat to the empty house and the kitchen and hung them up. After they were done, Zhou Ji asked, "Xiong Ye, can you hibernate?"
Bears are animals that hibernate. When there is a lack of food in the winter, they will dig their own holes or find a cave to sleep in, waiting for the arrival of spring.
"There's plenty of food this year, so I won't hibernate!" Kumano said without hesitation.
Bears hibernate, but their hibernation is not really hibernation. It is more like sleeping. At least, they will wake up immediately if there is any danger.
If there is food, they will get up and eat.
Xiong Ye hibernated last year because there was not enough food, but this year... he wants to stay at home with Zhou Ji every day, eating, drinking, kissing and hugging!
