Chapter 1738: Another daughter-in-law?
Xiao Peng was completely devastated throughout the entire wedding.
He was bound in the Nenets' 'holy land'.
Generally speaking, the Nenets are not allowed to marry within the clan, and in the early years they were not allowed to marry with outsiders.
With the development of society, many Nenets have integrated into urban life, so intermarriage with people of other ethnic groups is no longer prohibited.
However, marrying a Nenets girl in a Nenets village still requires a ceremony, which requires a pilgrimage to the Nenets holy land. Expecting Xiao Peng to do this is a joke! He was already extremely opposed to this wedding!
Sasa's father was not a pushover either. He tied up Xiao Peng and threw him in front of their holy place as if he were paying homage.
In fact, the person Xiao Peng hated the most at that time was Kasim.
They were all arrested, so why didn't Kasin get tied up? It's fine that he was jumping around helping out, but he was also recording the whole thing with his phone.
Even more infuriating was that the tourists at the scene also thought this was a tourist attraction in Yarsale Village and were all there to record and take photos. Xiao Peng, who was tied up in the holy land, was now the absolute focus of the photos.
They thought there was a "kidnapping" segment here, and many male tourists were there asking whether they could also experience this tourist project.
Xiao Peng wanted to tear their heads off—are you crazy? Which of you saw that this was a tourist attraction? Didn't you see I've become a dumpling? If it weren't for the reluctance to offend the Nenets, Xiao Peng would have wanted to kill them!
This gave Sasa's father an idea, huh? Their reindeer festival could actually be turned into a new tourism attraction to generate revenue!
Xiao Peng finally realized that this guy didn't want to save him at all. He had betrayed him a long time ago! Now he just wanted to watch the fun!
Of course, Nenets weddings are inseparable from reindeer!
He would lasso a reindeer, tie its hooves together, and lay it on the ground. He would then smash the back of the reindeer's head with the back of the axe, killing it instantly. He would then make several cuts in the hooves and quickly peel the entire hide off. The whole process took less than five minutes, was incredibly skillful, and was virtually bloodless.
Bactria has the butcher Ding butchering the ox, and Russia has the Nenets butchering the reindeer?
After a reindeer is killed, its meat is cut into pieces and boiled, then distributed to all wedding attendees as a blessing. Sasa is nowhere to be seen; she's in a tent surrounded by women, all dressed up. Even though the Nenets of Yarsare Village live in buildings, they still hold ceremonies in traditional tents.
The other Nenets men were having fun at this time, such as wrestling or seated wrestling - two people sitting foot to foot fighting for a wooden stick.
Many nomadic ethnic minorities have similar wrestling games.
After Sasa is dressed up, she does not come out directly, but the woman's family tests her "dowry".
Where will Xiao Peng find his dowry?
At this time, it was Kasim and his group who stood up, and they were all eager to watch the fun and take advantage of the situation.
Didn't Xiao Peng buy so many things? This is all his 'dowry'!
He didn't even bother to curse as he watched them carry their shopping piles into Sasa and the others' tent. "You wastrel! Wait till I deduct the money from your salary."
No, the things we bought this time were originally intended to be used as welfare for the crew, but now Kasin has given them away, so he must take the blame!
At this time, the other Nenets people were not idle either. They lifted a corner from under the tent and stuffed their gifts into the tent.
The gifts are basically animal skins - deerskin, wild boar skin, fox skin and the like. For them, various furs are the most important and precious gifts in life.
Their gifts rarely include finished fur products, which implies that "the hostess is a skilled craftsman."
The Nenets people cannot include reindeer in their dowry, and at this time the white reindeer that Eugenia bought during the day came in handy. It was tied to the door of the tent with a red cloth hanging on its head.
However, Eugenia soon regretted donating the white reindeer: because its fate was to be slaughtered, and the reindeer was not meant to be eaten - if it was to be eaten, it would be after the wedding.
They wanted to give this reindeer skin to Xiao Peng and Sasa as a wedding blessing, and the two of them walked around the field with a reindeer skin with a strong smell covering their heads.
Of course Xiao Peng still relies on jumping.
Before killing the reindeer, it has another function: there are two long red ropes tied on its antlers. Two people hold the red ropes high. Xiao Peng and Sasa have to pass under the red ropes on both sides respectively, then go around behind the people, pass again, go around again, and pass again... In short, it is round and round.
Sasa was happily spinning around in circles, but what about Xiao Peng? He was tied to a rope by Sasa's father and was jumping around—over 30 kilograms of deerskin! It was a good thing Xiao Peng had good stamina, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to finish jumping around.
At this time, Xiao Peng had given up - anyway, this kind of Nenets wedding did not involve any registration or anything like that, it was just a ceremony and was illegal, otherwise he would never have followed them in making trouble.
Just treat it as a life experience...
After he finished jumping in the circle, the great shaman came out. After blessing the two of them, an old woman came out, drew a red line on Sasa's forehead, and then covered the bride's head with a pure white headscarf and handed her to Xiao Peng, which meant that she was married.
According to tradition, the next step is for the man to take the woman back to his tent on a reindeer sleigh, which means the wedding is over.
Where does Xiao Peng go to steal the tent? Where does he go to find the reindeer sled?
Even if he had a tent and a sled, he couldn't bring Sasa back!
At this time, Sasa's father stood up again and said: Well, it doesn't matter if there is no tent or sled, don't you have a car? Just use the car to take Sasa away!
At this point, Xiao Peng was certain: Sasa's father was indeed in cahoots with Sasa! Damn, why would they even have Sasa's luggage ready?
However, Xiao Peng could understand Sasa's father's approach: on one hand, there was his daughter, and on the other hand, there was the tradition of the Nenets people. If he wanted Sasa to stay in the Nenets village, he couldn't have sent her to college at that time, right?
Of course, as a father he wants his daughter to stay by his side, so he tries his best to keep Sasa by his side. Now he can't hold on any longer and decides to let go and let his daughter go out to pursue happiness.
Originally, he was planning to go all out and offend the rest of the Nenets villages, but just then Ekaterina and the others came over, so Sasa thought of asking Ekaterina for help, and the latter came up with a bad idea - to drag Xiao Peng and Kasim into the water.
They had originally planned to rely solely on Kashin, as he looked very strong, but they didn't expect Kashin to lose right from the start. Their impromptu plan B was to drag Xiao Peng into the fight.
When the car left the village, they saw Xiao Peng stop the car and throw Kasim around like a sandbag. Only then did they realize that they should have let Xiao Peng do the throwing from the beginning - it turned out that Xiao was the stronger one between the two of them.
In any case, Xiao Peng accidentally got a Nenets "wife" this time.
What the hell is going on?
