Chapter 38:Bathing and Changing

Through the clear spring water in front of him, Niu Xu carefully looked at himself and looked at the appearance of reflection in the water.

Today is the eighth day that he has come to the Black Stone tribe, just now, he felt that the wound on his face should be almost restored; so he could not resist the impulse of his heart, with the help of color, removed all the gauze wrapped in his head.

Then, the color is very considerate for the cattle Xu brought a pot of clear water, so that Niu Xu can see their own recovery appearance; as for the mirror this thing, color surprised to say, what is that?

The wound on the face of the head is recovering very well, the larger wound is still a part of the blood scab, a smaller wound even the blood scab naturally fell off, revealing the new skin that grew up below.

The wound on the shoulder did not move, because he knew that the old saying that the broken bone was broken for 100 days, even if he recovered quickly, he would not fully recover in less than ten days.

Fortunately, in the right hand, except for fighting, there is no problem with ordinary activities, Niu Xu remembered that a few days ago, the hunting team gave himself a promise, and felt that it should be almost a trip with the hunting team.

When Niu Xu found the squirring, intending to let the other party practice their commitment, Xuan was whispering something with the two of them; after seeing Niu Xu, he directly said: "Niu Xu brothers, tomorrow night we will hold a ceremony to pay tribute to the ancestors, after the ceremony, you can take you to the hunt."

Although Niu Xu did not know, he just wanted to follow the hunting team and go farther into the mountains to see why he had to perform an ancestor ceremony before going; but he estimated that this may be the tradition of the Black Stone tribe, and let them toss.

But what he did not expect was that the ceremony was so grand, and the treatment of the ancestors under the Black Stone tribe was so dedicated...

When it was not dawn, the whole Black Stone tribe got up early and began to be busy; today only a small part of the picking brigade and hunting team set out early in the morning, and the rest joined the action of cleaning the tribe.

The women cleaned their huts, cleaned up all the garbage that they did not know how long they had accumulated; the men used wooden shovels and rattan baskets to clean up all kinds of excrement and garbage in the village, and then used the rattan basket to carry back the whole basket of yellow soil from the outside, and scattered it on the only road in the village.

Under the cleaning, the hut is still the previous hut, the village is still the small village before, but it seems that the overall feeling does not know how much comfort the whole person is.

At noon, the picking brigades and hunting teams came back one after another; for the sacrifice held in the evening, they did not go too far to the mountains, for fear of missing the sacrificial activity that was of great importance to them.

The picking team brought back a lot of fresh wild fruits, as well as a lot of bright flowers, and the hunting team brought back two ordinary wild deer, only one wolf larger than the adult mastiff.

It is worth mentioning that this huge wolf is still alive when it is brought back, and it is bound to death by several strong vines; this is a good beast, and the hunting team has spent a lot of hands and feet with preset traps, so it is difficult to catch him...

About busy until the hour of four o'clock in the afternoon, the Black Stone tribe went up and down, and finally cleaned up the small village where they lived; then they began to toss themselves again.

"Come on, brother Niu Xu, let's take a bath together."The queer shouted at the cow.

For a time, Niu Xu thought that his ears had hallucinations, so that he heard words that could never be found in the mouth of the leader.

The members of the Black Stone tribe, or these primitive natives, still have the habit of bathing?At least in Niu Xu's impression, he said that he had also traveled here three times, and had never found and heard that they had this habit of living.

In his memory, more members of the hunting team, even if they come back from the outside with full blood, they just eat and sleep after rubbing their fur a few times.

He couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean by taking a shower?”

"Of course, how can we not wash ourselves cleanly, how to worship the spirit of the ancestors; we black stone tribes used to be a number of large tribes, how can we be like some tribes here, do not bathe in our lives, we say three or five times a year."The geek answered in the affirmative.

At the same time, the face of this goods is full of the strong pride that the old ancestors have also been broad, and there is a sense of being a civilized person.

After that, some impatient leaders, pulled on Niu Xu's arm, quickly ran to the outside of the village, and did not have any intention of letting Niu Xu go back to bring towels, soap and other toiletries.

A mile to the right of the small village, there is a small mountain, usually the whole black stone tribe of water, are taken from here; when the queer pulls the cattle as Xu arrived here, the adult men of the entire black stone tribe, plus half the size, are almost already here.

In the cold autumn wind, the men of the Black Stone tribe took themselves off from the strip, and then pounced into the mountain, rubbing themselves hard; with their movements, the original clear springs soon became black, and then down the stream.

The men washed very carefully, they used the cold spring water, rubbed their skin red before they stopped, so it took more than half an hour of effort.

Since crossing over, he has never taken a bath, and he had to pluck up the courage to take off his clothes and pounce on the cold springs of water; before he could use the fact that he could not wet the wound to make excuses for his own behavior, but after the gauze on his head was removed, he could not even say anything about it if he did not take a bath.

But compared with the men of the Black Stone tribe, the animal's physical fitness, Niu Xu stayed in the spring water for only three or five minutes, and couldn't help but flee the water, stirring a coaxing laugh behind him...

After the man washed, it was the turn of the women and children of the tribe, and here it seemed that even the newly weaned cubs did not have the concept of bathing with hot water; when the men of the tribe washed and returned to the village, it was their turn to take the children and go to the mountains.

“Wait a minute.”Niu Xu called the color, and then looked over from the hut to find his own soap and tucked it into the color of his hand.

Niu Xu's heart is actually no unbearable idea, days to pay attention to him, in fact, very much to him is very grateful; even can say that the other party as the big sister as the same respect, so give a soap, he thought is very reasonable things.

But soon, in the smile of a colorful face, and in the coaxing of many women, he knew that he had died again!Let them misunderstand, heaven and earth conscience, he really has no other idea...
