Chapter 261 - The ancestors bone ornamen (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

It snowed heavily in winter, which might be bad news for some wanderers. But for the people who came from the other side of the river, they thought it was warmer here.

The snow was falling. Standing at a high place, you could see that everything on the mountain was covered with white snow.

Although it was snowing here, the snowpile would not get taller than a person. It didn’t snow heavily every day and sometimes the weather was fine. Of course, deep in the forest, the weather was worse.

Shao Xuan and the warriors of the hunting team were carrying some prey as they stepped on the snow on their return to the tribe.

In the place they had walked past, there were some reclaimed fields. It was said that they could sow some of the seeds they brought back, even in the autumn and winter, because those plants could survive in cold weather. The field was not large, but they could try growing some plants here. Around there, you could see some people walking back and forth, busy doing things.

In addition to these fields, there was a livestock pen which was newly built. The old one was too small. Since the tribe expanded, they had more space to build a bigger pen.

When the wanderers came here, those who knew each other lived in one house, similar to a dormitory. At that time, the space was limited, but now their site expanded by nearly two thirds. They had much more space. Nowadays, some wanderers moved out of the “dormitories” and built their own houses in the designated areas.

Although the tribe allowed the wanderers to live here, they could not get the food for free. It meant that if they needed food, they had to work for it. Not only the wanderers from other tribes, but also those from the Flaming Horns tribe had to do so. The Shaman and the chief did not allow anyone to get things without working. The wanderers that could survive must have some skills, though they hadn’t been trained. Thanks to these skills, they could exchange for a lot of food from the tribe.

The wanderers from other tribes lived at the border of the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. From there they could come out of the forest easily, but until now no one had left.

Although they lived in theFerocious Beast Mountain Forest, after removing the dangers, this place was not much different from the other forests. Moreover, close to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest, it was guarded every day by warriors, in case some ferocious beasts broke in. Even though there had been some beasts, they were small and weak, so they were captured and cooked quickly.

The warriors patrolled on the outer border and the core area of the tribe. In the core area lived the Shaman, the chief, and other vital people, but most importantly, there was the fire pit.

Everything was going well.

Having arrived home with his prey, Shao Xuan was preparing to process the prey.Old Ke said at once: “I will process the prey, you go to visit the Shaman. The Shaman sent someone to call you to his place.”

What happened? Is it about the ritual ceremony after the end of winter?

If it was only about the ritual dance, the Shaman should just have someone tell him about it. It was unnecessary for the Shaman to ask him to come there. Shao Xuan set out confused. Without delay, he put down the prey, and went to find the Shaman.

The place where the Shaman lived was very close to the fire pit, and his house was similar to that of the ancestors, which was painted on the Shaman Volumes left by the ancestors.

When Shao Xuan got there, only the Shaman was in the stone house, he was writing something.

The Shaman did not stop writing and Shao Xuan did not bother him. He just found a stool to sit down on and took the earthenware kettle and the pottery cup on the table. He poured a cup of water to drink. The water was still warm.

Someone came in to pour some warm water into the Shaman’s kettle at intervals. It was also the case when they lived on the other side of the river.
