On the night of the last day of the safari, what happened afterwards also opened Su Ce's eyes. Not to mention anything else, the target gallbladder that all the males—including Reigns, the female who seemed to be a loophole in the system—handed in just now was crushed by the chief Sata and several other leaders with thick and long wooden sticks— There are several big tanks where they are in full bloom.
Forget it, Su Ce didn't understand, but he just watched it with some interest, thinking it was just a kind of ceremony... However, although it did seem to be a kind of ceremony, the follow-up was not so pleasant.
At least it made him less pleasant.
It turned out that just when Su Ce thought he and Tantu could go home, many females rushed up, took out many bamboo tubes, and started working in front of the big tank.
Su Ce was puzzled, looked up at Tan Tu, and asked, "What are they... doing?"
Tan Tu patted his forehead: "Ah, I almost forgot."
Because Su Ce was pregnant, Tan Tu was so focused on how to take care of Su Ce that he completely forgot an important part before the end of the hunting day.
share.
What is hunted on the hunting day is the gall bladder representing the prey achieved by the males. They are crushed, distributed equally, and returned to every male and female participating in the activities of this day. This is the meaning of sharing.
The so-called sharing is not just about sharing this tank of bile, but more about sharing courage, sharing resources for survival, and demonstrating the unity of the orcs—at least within each tribe, swearing that no matter how difficult the environment is, they will always Will work together to survive.
That is to say, when the survival resources are sufficient, the people in the tribe will exchange animal bones or other items in exchange for what they need. And when the survival resources are not enough, each family will turn over its income to the tribe, and the patriarch will distribute it.
Distributed to each family to ensure the continuation of the tribe.
Therefore, the male hunts the gallbladder, the patriarch distributes it, and the female steps forward to receive it... This is the epitome of the survival of the tribe when disasters and famines come.
Su Ce looked at it for a while, and then listened to what Tantu said intermittently, so he probably understood this too.
It's just that although he respects the rules in the tribe, this doesn't prevent him from being in a bad mood.
It's not because of anything else... It's just that the smell is too pungent.
Especially when his body was in a sensitive period, his reaction to this smell was even stronger.
He felt a little nauseous.
But he cannot forget his responsibility.
Tan Tu had already borrowed a bamboo tube from the female next to him, and carefully protected Su Ce as he walked forward.
Su Ce held his breath, and scooped up half a tube of mixed bile from the vat with a wooden spoon.
Then he buried his head in Tantu's arms and took a deep breath...
It was... so pungent.
Tan Tu quickly took it over to Su Ce, touched his forehead, found a little sweat, and hurriedly wiped it off with the back of his hand, and asked a little anxiously, "A Ce, are you feeling unwell, A Ce?"
Su Ce's face turned pale, and he shook his head: "...it's okay."
Everyone is here, they are really not suitable for doing anything special.
What's more, he's not that delicate... He can hold on.
Next, the males must drink the bile to complete the ritual.
Of course, Tan Tu did as well, and he did it very smoothly—obviously, he had done it many times. According to the regulations, he had to leave a sip for the female, that is, his partner A Ce.
In normal times, males tend to give food and water to females first based on the principle of protecting females, but in times of disaster, the protection of cubs is the most important, food is given to cubs first... and most of them are given to males, for the sake of Let the males have more physical strength to fight and hunt outside, and the females can only occupy a small part of their lives...even if they are really lacking, they will be given up.
This is also a cruel law of nature. When you can't survive, you must give priority to keeping the fighting power and offspring—the seeds of reproduction. When the supplies are sufficient, you must give priority to keeping the females who can give birth to offspring, so that the tribe will grow stronger.
With this arrangement, every member of the tribe has nothing to complain about.
Su Ce was no exception.
But the most important thing now is that Su Ce also has to drink bile.
He's part of the Horde too... isn't he
But such foul-smelling bile, whose color is disgusting just by looking at it, Su Ce, who came here from the civilization period and has always adapted well, finally changed his color.
Is this thing... clean...
Tan Tu already knew Su Ce better, and now seeing him frowning slightly and staring at the bamboo tube in his hand, he naturally understood it all at once.
If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to force Ah Ce, but now that many people are watching, Ah Ce must...
Tan Tu also understood that after Su Ce did some mental training, he would drink it. It's just that he couldn't bear to see his A Ce look so embarrassed.
So I had to ask him to help out.
So Tan Tu lifted the bamboo tube, poured the remaining bile into his mouth to hold it, then held Su Ce's face, and fed it little by little. Then he rolled up Su Ce's tongue with his tongue, pulled it into his mouth and sucked it, allowing Su Ce to swallow the bile safely... and then licked away the bitter taste inside.
This is not an ambiguous kiss, but more of a harmonious taste.
Su Ce closed his eyes, and felt that the bitterness was replaced by the familiar taste of Tantu, and all the nausea and discomfort from before disappeared...
Tan Tu really understood him.
After only a few months, Tantu can already guess his thoughts from his expressions and behavior habits... Tantu is not the kind of male who is extremely intelligent and has a high emotional intelligence. Su Ce knew that the reason Tantu could understand him so well was because he never left his eyes.
That's why Su Ce was able to abandon the fear of men on earth about pregnancy and childbirth so quickly.
Not just adapting to survival, but more because of Tantu.
A little stupid big guy, but gave him the warmth he never had before.
Let Su Ce have one more thing in his life, which is constantly alternating between "always losing" and "never owning", which he cherishes extremely.
His home, and Tantu... and their children's home.
After the safari day, the Fire Dance Festival was almost over, and several team leaders left with members of their tribe. Fortunately, although they performed very well this time, the unmarried females of the Tiger tribe Because of the existence of Reigns, he was not hooked up by any male... This is the only thing about Reigns that is not so hateful to all the males of the Tiger tribe. And the fact that Reigns successfully chased Kamel into his hands also made them love and hate.
What I love is that Reigns basically belongs to the married family, and what I hate is... Reigns, whose masculine charm can't be matched by the sum, will take root in the Tiger tribe from now on—
It's an indescribably complicated feeling...
Of course, Reigns had to go back to the Mayan tribe first. His famous warrior in that tribe had to explain and finish some things before he could return to the Tiger tribe and marry Kamel.
So, at the time of parting, apart from the teary-eyed waving of many females, Reigns himself bid farewell to Kamel, as if wishing not to leave at all. And Kamel, also with a gentle smile, agreed to Reigns' request that "during this period, he will never have any more intimate communication with any male or even female except for medical treatment"...
After seeing off these guests, the Tiger tribe returned to calm.
As for Su Ce, in the following days, his body gradually underwent many changes...
In the first 30 days, Su Ce could barely eat anything, no matter whether it was meat or vegetarian, light or greasy, as long as he smelled it, he would spit it out the next moment. Tan Tu followed around in a hurry, and found Kamel to get a lot of herbs, but it was of no use. Later, he had to get some fruits for Su Ce, so that he could barely eat them. But despite this, Su Ce still lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his taste became very strange. He could only swallow very, very sweet fruit juice, and he couldn't bear even a little sour taste...
After going through this for a while, in the second 30 days, Su Ce's adverse reactions gradually improved, but his appetite suddenly became very large, and he had to eat a lot of food almost every day. Tan Tu was anxious to grab his hair again, jumping up and down, looking for what the female who gave birth to cubs could do to make Su Ce happy, which made all the females in the village want to joke when they saw him, even the males loved it. I teased him, every time I was hunting, the first thing I said when I saw him was "Tantu, what did you feed your Ah Ce today".
In the third thirty days, Su Ce's stomach swelled up as if he was blowing air. Tan Tu was stunned by the fright, and he was even more cautious towards Su Ce, and he dared not touch him when he surrounded him. At the same time, Su Ce's appetite returned to normal, but his taste changed again. He started to like to eat a very sour fruit, only the size of a little finger, and it was dry and crunchy, but just a little bit could make an orc wrinkle up with sourness... But when Su Ce was eating, But his face was rosy, and the breath around him became cheerful.
After three months like this, Tan Tu was so busy that he couldn't bear the smirk at Su Ce...and Su Ce's belly...
Time passed quickly, and on a sunny morning, Su Ce was carried out by Tan Tu to bask in the sun.
He sat in a large chair specially made by Tantu and padded with soft animal skins in the yard, and his legs were covered with soft blankets. Su Ce gently pressed his stomach with one hand, but turned his head slightly to one side, leaning against the back of the chair and taking a nap with his eyes closed.
The weather is fine, the feeling of the breeze blowing makes people feel warm, and the sleepiness is getting stronger...
However, at this moment, a familiar voice came over with some hesitation.
"Ah Ce... is it Ah Ce?!"
The voice brought back memories buried deep in Su Ce's heart. He trembled and opened his eyes.
