Just thinking about the communal toilets in the tribe makes me feel like I'm about to vomit in the middle of summer.
I forcibly suppressed the nonsense in my mind and looked around to shift my gaze.
All around were brightly lit bonfires, their roaring flames illuminating the joyful faces of the people.
At that time, there were no torches; the most primitive form of lighting was the bonfire.
There is usually no lighting at night, and the area is surrounded by woods. Burning firewood at night is wasteful and unsafe.
At this time, communicating your feelings with your partner becomes especially important, and it can be said to be the only form of entertainment before bed.
Now that the party has reached this point, the most important part of the event begins.
On the high platform in the center of the square, a fire of more than two meters high had already been set up.
The chief made a strange gesture, and several burly men with bizarre facial markings stepped forward and together lit the bonfire.
The orcs below the stage stopped what they were doing and looked up at the platform.
The shaman stood solemnly to one side, raising his palm towards the campfire, a green light emanating from his hand, enveloping the fire.
The flames rose higher and higher, shooting straight into the sky.
The crackling sound continued, illuminating the entire Yafatu tribe.
The instrument made of wild animal bones was played by a strong man.
When the first song ended, a more upbeat tune was played.
A group of burly men walked onto the high platform, surrounded the bonfire, and, following the rhythm, began to dance a blessing dance with loud shouts.
Looking at it from afar in the height of summer, for a moment it felt as if I had returned to modern times, watching an ancient Miao village sacrificial performance from below the stage.
I don't know where I am, or what day it is.
The burly men on the high platform, all adorned with strange patterns, wore feather skirts and had a string of fierce beast teeth hanging around their necks, and danced and sang.
As it danced, the feathers on its body all turned toward the campfire, like a hundred birds paying homage.
Her singing voice was melodious and captivating, radiating a mysterious and wild beauty.
All the orcs below the stage looked at the platform with burning adoration.
Such sacrificial activities cannot be truly appreciated in the height of summer. As an observer, the performance is particularly awe-inspiring and possesses a unique aesthetic appeal.
The burly men on the high platform were all single warriors of the tribe, and this was also an opportunity to showcase their personal charm. Aoki was among them.
The mysterious dance ended, and the crowd below the stage rushed forward and danced around the platform.
The females and males in the tribe sang and danced around the campfire, chasing each other in a lively scene.
This is a wild and romantic dance of revelry.
Living amidst reinforced concrete in the sweltering summer, I've never experienced such wild romance before; I was deeply moved.
"Midsummer, midsummer!" Wolf King shouted urgently.
Even though it was right beside him, for a moment, he felt that summer was so far away, getting farther and farther away.
He was frightened and anxiously called out to his partner, only feeling relieved when she turned around.
"What's wrong?" Shengxia snapped out of her daze, smiled mischievously, and shouted loudly into Wolf King's ear.
The two were very close. Her eyes were mischievous, her lips were slightly upturned, and her clear eyes were filled with him.
Wolf King's heart skipped a beat, and his furry ears popped out.
How fortunate he was to encounter the height of summer!
"Let's go dancing." Wolf King smiled, his demeanor refined and elegant, exuding unparalleled charm.
"Mmm!" Sheng Xia exclaimed excitedly, pulling Yang Yun and Lang Jun along as they dashed into the crowd.
As soon as I joined the ranks, many orcs swarmed around me, cheering enthusiastically.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Sheng Xia couldn't help but marvel at the innocence and enthusiasm of the primitive beastmen.
With Wolf King and Sheep Cloud by her side, and a group of lovely females, her empty heart was gradually filled.
Summer seemed to have become part of them at this moment, and joy radiated from within.
She has a very positive outlook. Since she's already here, she should seize the day and cherish what she has.
As for the constant stream of confessions from single men around her, Shengxia automatically ignored them; she had Wolf King and Sheep Cloud, which was enough for her.
When Sheng Xia caught a glimpse of Yang Yun's gentle smile, her breath hitched. She seemed to have overlooked his feelings again.
Sometimes in the summer, Shengxia wishes Yangyun could be a little more selfish, and not so insecure, sensitive, yet considerate and sensible.
Xingmu hid in the crowd, watching Shengxia's two companions. Wolf King was one thing, but why was Yangyun, a slave, so favored?
He was envious and jealous. What was wrong with him?
It seems he still needs to work harder to let Shengxia see his good qualities.
The bonfire party lasted until late at night, and Sheng Xia's face was stiff from smiling so much.
He yawned and said, "Let's go back."
What Shengxia didn't know was that the bonfire party continued for a long time after she left.
She discovered rice and wheat, taught everyone how to make smoked meat, and now there are soybeans, giving everyone a much greater chance of survival.
This filled the entire tribe with hope for the future.
The next morning.
The sun was shining brightly, and the birds were chirping sweetly and melodiously—ugh! The birds' reckless chirping woke the sweltering summer from its slumber.
"Shorty! Shorty!"
"Shorty~"
In the sweltering summer, still half-asleep, I looked out the window—well, there was no window.
She rubbed her eyes and stretched.
I really want to kill all these dwarf birds and eat their meat. Such a personal attack so early in the morning.
In the sweltering summer, after a quick wash, I couldn't wait to go to the village's public toilet to take care of this important matter.
Yang Yun followed closely behind, but the convenient spot was a bit out of the way, and he was worried about it.
I went in half-asleep in the middle of summer and was immediately jolted awake!
Finally, he came out pinching his nose, looking utterly dejected.
No, we have to solve the toilet problem today; every extra day is torture.
Seeing that her expression was off, Yang Yun quickly went over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shengxia looked up, pouting and looking aggrieved: "Waaah, I can't stand this place anymore. Come on, I'm going to find the chief. Take me there."
"Okay." Yang Yun didn't ask any questions. Without saying a word, he transformed into his beast form, put Sheng Xia on his back, and ran towards the center of the tribe.
Even if he didn't ask, Shengxia still wanted to explain. She didn't want him to always be so self-conscious and afraid to ask anything: "The places where the tribe uses the toilet need to be cleaned up. It's unhygienic and accidents can easily happen."
"Do you need me to do something?" Yang Yun's voice was as clear and gentle as ever.
"It's tiring to clean up, and I don't want you to do it all by yourself."
Summer kissed Yang Yun's fluffy ear: "Let's go find the chief, teach him the method, and let the chief make the arrangements."
Yang Yun's pupils contracted, her heart pounded, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Sheng Xia is amazing; she can do everything."
Even in convenient places, if it's dirty and messy, can it be cleaned up properly?
She actually had a way with him; how could he have such an excellent partner?
She even kissed his ear; what should she do if she likes him more and more?!
Soon, we arrived at the tribal settlement.
At the chief's house.
"Shengxia, I've thought about this too. Do you have any good ideas?" The chief looked at Shengxia expectantly.
He had stepped in excrement at that public restroom several times; it was disgusting.
Shengxia hadn't expected the chief to be so easy to talk to. She had prepared a whole bunch of persuasive words, but they were all useless.
