Chapter 17 Tattoos and makeup, warriors go out!(1/2)
Xia Ye used a wooden barrel to drill well water, poured it on his body, and then applied some soapberry. After so many times, he sat at the wooden table.
The summer moon has prepared dyes, which are natural pigments extracted from plants, and are essential for every tribal warrior.
Neither of them spoke, with a solemn expression.
Xia Lingyue used a piece of hand-woven yellow hemp rope to tie up Natsuno's shoulder-to-shoulder black hair and made a towering single ponytail.
Then he prepared the dye, dipped it in an animal brush, and carefully applied it to his face.
Half an hour later, Xia Lingyue took two steps back and appreciated her works with satisfaction. For this day, she had been practicing secretly for a long time.
After looking into the basin, Xia Ye's expression became bitter.
"Do you have to use purple?"
Natsuno was speechless.
When a soldier travels, he will apply various patterns on his face and body. This is called face-patterning makeup. It is a sacred tribal ceremony that represents the longing of his family, praying for a safe return, and praying for victory!
The pattern depicted by Xia Lingyue is two crescent crescent moons that start from the brow, cross the eyes, and end up on the cheeks, just symmetrical.
The lines are simple, but just a few strokes outline the charm of the moonlit night. With the delicate and gentle face of Xia Ye, a cool, elegant and gentle aura comes to her face.
"I'm going to kill someone. Why are you doing as a gay girl? Gay is so angry!"
Xia Ye doesn't like it. She also has a meaning of shocking the enemy, so most of them are ferocious, violent, and terrifying beast patterns. Some warriors even tattoo the beheadings on their faces.
"What gay boy? Don't talk nonsense!"
Xia Lingyue slapped Xia Ye on the head. This was a sacred ceremony. No nonsense was allowed, otherwise he would lose the protection of his ancestors and die on the battlefield: "Look carefully again!"
Xia Ye lowered his head and the water surface was microwaved. He found that the lower part of the crescent moon was matched with red dye, and the technique rendered it, and it looked like sticky blood, with a state of dying.
"Wow?"
Xia Ye exclaimed, looking down from below, the two crescent moons were more like the teeth of the ancient giant beast dripping blood, as if they were choosing people to eat, and as if they had already tore their prey to pieces.
A restrained murderous intent came to my face.
"This is the juice squeezed out by the violet. I searched for a long time before I found it!"
Xia Lingyue has nothing to say, its flower language represents eternal longing and love!
"good!"
Xia Ye smacked his lips and admired it carefully to appreciate the charm of this pattern. It is absolutely amazing compared to those patterns such as dragon, tiger and leopard with simple meanings.
"It just so happens that I will use a black purple color and apply it to me around my eyes."
"ah?"
Xia Lingyue knew her younger brother so much that she was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and immediately slapped him on the forehead with anger.
"This is a tactic!"
Natsuno argued that he actually wanted to apply two thick dark circles of eyes and pretend to be exhausted, so as to wait for an opportunity to deceive his opponent during the battle.
"Don't doodle!"
Xia Lingyue refused. Even the most reckless guy would not do anything like this, because every pattern has its meaning.
Soon, everything was ready.
"Don't send me it!"
Xia Ye picked up his animal skin backpack and did not give Xia Lingyue the chance to refuse, so he quickly walked out of the thatched hut.
"good!"
Xia Lingyue kept smiling: "I wish you a triumphant return!"
Until Xia Ye's back disappeared at the end of the long street, Xia Lingyue could no longer hold back and tears burst out from her eyes. She was too worried, but she didn't dare to cry in front of her brother because she was afraid that it would affect him.
Before it got dark, Xia Ye rushed to Peach Blossom Land. After checking it first, he confirmed that there was no one's footprints, he began to prepare food for five days. If it was too much, it would be a bit cumbersome. Besides, you can also hunt in the wild.
Before going to bed, Xia Ye played the Dragon Return three times, striving to master the first level as soon as possible!
In the early morning in the forest, insects and birds are singing.
"I would have a cup of hot milk!"
With the onions, I fryed a bird egg and ate it. Xia Ye set out with an unsatisfactory intention. When he had his own tribe, he said that he would find a way to raise a cow no matter what.
To the northwest of the Cao tribe, there is a large area of low mountains, crisscrossing. Because it looks like a chessboard, it is named on the chessboard.
The Fengjing ruins are somewhere in the mountains.
In these days, there was not even the simplest industry, everything was primitive and could not be said to destroy the environment, so nature is the unquestionable master of the earth.
The primeval forest is like a green ocean, covered endlessly, full of the wilderness and eternal aura, like a giant beast crawling.
After entering Qipan Mountain, Xia Ye was much more careful. In addition to the threat of beasts and poisonous insects, he might also encounter mountain patrolers from the Cao tribe.
This is not the territory of the Cao tribe, but the arrogant Cao clan defended it accordingly. Anyone who wants to go to Fengjing ruins to pick up scattered goods must pay a toll.
In the past, the Cao people made a lot of money by relying on this method, but with the frequent development over the past hundred years, the potential of Fengjing ruins has long been exhausted, and fewer and fewer people have collected scavengers every year.
"I haven't even built a dirt road, so I'm so embarrassed to collect money? Is it good to be a road bully? Is it good to have professional ethics?"
Xia Ye held the dog-legged knife and slashed the branches and leaves in front from time to time. The vegetation was too dense and some of it affected his movements.
Fengjing ruins are the main city of Fengjing tribe. It is said that hundreds of years ago, it was a famous tribe in the north. Its unique Giant God building can give birth to a melee warship called Giant God. Its combat power is extremely powerful and domineering for a while.
"I don't know which tribe fell into the hands of?"
Xia Ye curled his lips. After so many years, he has never heard of any tribe having a giant god. But it is normal. If he had such a powerful army, he would definitely hide it. He would never use it until the tribe's life and death moment.
I picked a green fruit from the branch next to me, rubbed it on my clothes twice, and then took a bite. A sourness immediately spread across my taste buds.
"Ph! Ph!"
Xia Ye frowned and threw away the fruit. He was about to take out the map collected by Mo Wuheng to look at the route when he vaguely heard the sound of a group of birds flying away with their wings.
"Is there a situation?"
Natsuno immediately slowed down his breath, looked into the sky, confirmed the direction of the birds flying, and quickly took off the crossbow bow and put an arrow on the string.
At ten o'clock, about two hundred meters away.
After confirming the position, Natsuno immediately approached quickly with a crossbow. During this process, his movements were very small, minimizing the sounds made as much as possible.
"Hurry up, go over there and block it!"
A young man in animal skin was full of excitement, and he raked an arrow, chasing a wild boar.
"Brother Ming, you are a little softer. If you bring Cao's mountain patrolman, it will be troublesome!"
The summer insects are speechless.
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and do as you want. If the patrolman dares to come, I will kill them!"
Xia Ming snorted, quite dissatisfied with Xia Chong's timidity.
"Why!"
Xia Chong was helpless. He just wanted to find a companion to go to Fengjing ruins to try his luck. Who knew that Xia Ming was brainless and dragged on the way.
"Go quickly!"
Xia Ming urged: "This pair of wild boar teeth is good, just made into a necklace!"
Tribes have the habit of wearing the bones of beasts hunted by themselves and the feathers of birds and birds into accessories. One is to look good and beautiful, and the other is to show their achievements. If there is an ancient giant beast ornament, it is comparable to the top luxury goods like Hermes, which is absolutely eye-catching.
Xia Chong was hesitating whether to leave the team and walk alone. His ears suddenly moved, and he pointed at a bush with his bow, and roared loudly: "Who is it? Come out!"
Xia Ming reacted quickly and immediately gave up the injured wild boar, rushed out, seized the favorable terrain, and formed an encirclement with the summer insects.
call out!
Xia Ming shoots arrows and intimidates and shoots.
Xia Chong is going to be depressed. If it is Cao's mountain patrolman, you will be the provocation of the war, but he did not complain, because it would be weaker.
When tribes go out to hunt in the wilderness, they pay attention to the precepts of the weak!
"Don't be nervous, it's the same clan!"
Xia Ye walked out with a crossbow bow.
Wow!
Seeing the Xia family emblem on Xia Ye’s chest, Xia Chou breathed a sigh of relief.
When every tribe warrior goes on a trip, he will wear tribal emblems and wear tribal emblems on his chest. Some even tattoo the tribe's battle flag or clan emblems on his body. In addition to praying for protection from his ancestors, he is also to identify his identity and shock the enemy.
The stronger the tribe, the more powerful its clan emblem and battle flag are.
After listening to the conversation, the two men were led by the sturdy young man with animal skin, Xia Ming, but Xia Ye's eyes fell on another young man who was thinner than himself.
It was him who discovered himself at the first time, and this was a bit too good to hear.
"Hey, what's your name?"
Xia Ming was unhappy, and the other party looked at Xia Chong. Isn’t it obvious that he has a strong mixed fish, so don’t you pay attention to it? How can he bear it when he is arrogant?
