"Why are you here?"

The two males put the wild boar down: "Didn't you say that we will have another meal together at the end of the year? We will not take advantage of you, and bring you the prey first."

Meng Sheng kicked the wild boar. The black-haired long-toothed wild boar is not small, but it is not as strong as other seasons. It loses fat in winter, but the lean pork is delicious.

"become."

He nodded, and both males were pleased.

Seeing Tang Dun, Meng Sheng asked again: "Your brother?"

"I've made it clear to him. He said he won't interfere with me in the future. I showed you a joke last time. My brother has that temper. Don't be surprised."

Meng Sheng shook his head, he was quite used to it.

"Hey, what are you wearing?" Zhong Yang pulled Meng Sheng's clothes and walked around him: "This animal skin is too strange."

Meng Sheng patted Zhong Yang's hand away, took off his coat, and handed it to Tang Dun first: "Try it and see how it looks."

Tang Dun pointed at himself with his index finger, with a suppressed expression on his face: "Give me a try?"

Meng Sheng stretched out his hand again.

Tang Dun quickly took it, and hurriedly put it on his body: "Hey, how do you wear this?"

"Drill your arm into the hole, it's clumsy." Meng Sheng bent the male's stiff arm, which was like putting on the clothes.

Putting on his clothes, Tang Dun jumped up in the snow: "Hey! Don't say it fits well, it's warm and convenient."

Tang Dun's body was much thinner than Meng Sheng's, but because he was already wearing animal skins, he was able to support Meng Sheng's loose clothes.

Seeing that Tang Dun looked like a monkey, Zhong Yang quickly chased after him: "Take it off and let me try it."

The two males twisted into a ball, and even rolled onto the snow. In the end, Tang Dun couldn't handle a strong male who had grown up for a long time, and his clothes were stripped off.

Meng Sheng shook his head: "Zhongyang, I'm afraid you won't be able to fit in with your physique."

"Did you put on the animal skin not long ago?" After speaking, the male tore off the thick animal skin wrapped around his upper body, and put on the clothes shirtless in the ice and snow. Even so, the clothes still Stretched out.

The clothes are too big to wear loosely, but overall they still look passable. If the clothes are too small, the person who wears them will look small. He looks like a fool. Meng Sheng suppressed his smile: "Come on, if you think it's good, go back and let the female at home wear it." sewing."

"Mother didn't do it, she probably wouldn't."

"Aunt Luo sewed this. In this case, you go and inform the females in the tribe, let them show their skills in making animal skins, and let Aunt Luo choose a few handy ones to teach you how to sew clothes." Meng Sheng said.

"Okay! It just so happens that we are fine." In winter, the natives almost all recharge their batteries in the caves, consuming less energy, and only some elite males can sneak out to hunt, because they have the ability to avoid hidden dangers in winter, As well as the energy consumed, there is enough food in the cave to supplement.

So in the snowy weather where everything is silent, the ones who can deliver the message are the powerful males.

Meng Sheng told Luo about the matter, and the older females were very interested, but out of selfishness, Meng Sheng asked Zhong Yang to inform, so that females who were willing to come could come to their cave, so that Luo would not go out in heavy snow.

After the two left, Meng Sheng carried the wild boar to the hidden snowdrift beside the cave. There are natural big refrigerators everywhere in this weather. He has already cut open the area, and it is very open. Get prey away right under your nose.

He was wearing warm clothes and was tossed cold by Zhong Yang. He was drenched in the icy wind and shook the snow on his coat. Fortunately, the pure leather was waterproof and the inside was not wet.

"Mother, you can wait in the cave to see if anyone is willing to come out to study in winter. I'm going to find Qiu Juan."

"Go, be careful on the road."

There were several footprints printed on the thick snow, except for the two big male feet, which belonged to Qiu Juan, not to mention that Qiu Juan was wearing wooden-soled shoes, so it was easy to find him following the footprints.

He found Qiu Juan on the outside of Lover's Slope. Qiu Juan looked very small on the white snowy field. There were seven or eight prey scattered on the ground.

Meng Sheng was about to call out to Ya Female when he realized that the man who never left his bow and arrow had put all his arrows aside. Immediately, he felt something was wrong and ran over quickly.

"Brother Meng!" Qiu Juan's voice trembled with surprise, his cheeks were flushed from the cold.

Seeing that Ya Nu's feet were stuck in the crevices of the rocks under the snow and could not be pulled out, Meng Sheng's voice was pitiful, and he couldn't bear to blame her, so he hurried over to remove the rocks.

"How long have you been stuck here?" It wasn't a big stone, but a few pieces were frozen together, Qiu Juan's feet were imprisoned, the weather was too cold, and his body couldn't exert much strength.

He broke the ice, carefully freed the man's skinned feet, and picked him up. Qiu Juan lost weight, and subconsciously hugged Meng Sheng's neck, his hands were as cold as ice Same, Meng Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue.

Qiu Juan grinned apologetically, and quickly retracted his numb hands.

Meng Sheng put the person on the ground where the snow had been trampled flat, put Yafe's hands in his palms with both hands, breathed into them, and rubbed them gently to create some warmth. Unable to warm up, his heart sank, and he held his ice-slag-like hand on his neck.

"What are you doing!" Qiu Juan suddenly felt the long-lost temperature coming from the male's neck, and wanted to hold back.

"Don't move around, look at how it's frozen."

Qiu Juan thought about the cold hands covering his neck, and he felt shivering, how could he put his hands on the male's neck with peace of mind: "Aren't you cold!"

"Cool, what else can I do? You want to put your hand in my clothes?" Meng Sheng laughed, and then really wanted to lift his clothes with one hand.

Qiu Juan's ears turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Don't!"

The two warmed up in the snow for a while, and Meng Sheng knew that it would only get colder and colder outside, so he put Ya female on his back and prepared to go back with the prey.

He wanted to carry Qiu tired a long time ago, but he used to wear animal skin skirts, his legs couldn't collapse at all, and he couldn't carry them on his back, and even if he carried his back on his back, his bare legs still had to be exposed, but now he wore pants. up.

"Xiao Qiujuan, aren't Brother Meng's shoulders so broad?"

Qiu Juan lay on the male's back, feeling very secure, but when he heard such shameless words, he kicked the male first to express his disapproval, regardless of the skin on his feet.

Meng Sheng dragged Yafei's buttocks and slapped her: "You are the only one who dares to kick me, don't move around, I won't be responsible if I fall."

When the two returned to the open space of their own cave, there was heavy snow again. Qiu Juan was also afraid of the cold, so he simply leaned on the male's back, hoping to wait for the male to hump himself directly into the warm cave, but he didn't know that at this moment A dozen people, old and young, had already gathered in the cave. Everyone was discussing lively around the fire stove. Seeing the two people who came in, their voices stopped instantly, and the hand holding the animal skin bone needle also stopped.

Luo stood up from the crowd, put down his things and ran over: "What's wrong?"

"Ah Juan's foot was stuck by a rock, and his feet were frozen and he couldn't walk. It's not a big deal."

Qiu Juan thanked Meng Sheng for saving him, and buried his head in the male vest: "Mother, don't worry."

"Go on, everyone, leave us alone." Meng Sheng said, and calmly carried him back into the small cave.

After the two disappeared, the cave suddenly became lively again, but the conversation shifted from sewing clothes to the couple. It was nothing more than saying that the two had a good relationship, the young envy, and the old sighed.

Qiu Juan sat on the stone bed, stretched his neck and glanced outside: "Why are there so many people here?"

"They all came here to learn how to make clothes from my mother." Meng Sheng squatted down, took off Ya Nu's shoes and checked the wounds. Except for a little bit of skin, most of them were frostbite.

He helped Yanu take off her clothes, and stuffed her into the animal skin quilt.

"That's not good."

"You're injured, what's wrong with it." Meng Sheng pampered the animal skin and covered him up: "Be obedient, you can rest here and I'll deal with the prey."

The winter is long, not because of the time, but because staying in the cave feels difficult.

Meng Sheng skinned the wild boar and Qiu Juan's prey, and handed over the fur to the female. The next day, he cleaned up the pig farm, cut up some pork, and made sausages with the previously sun-dried Chinese prickly ash.

The aborigines only learned to eat cooked food. In fact, the pursuit of delicious food is not high, and they are still on food and clothing. But for his friends, they are all rich and noble families in the aborigines, and they have already met the basic food and clothing requirements. The requirements are much higher.

After Qiu Juan went hunting and encountered a small accident, out of guilt, he never dared to go out alone again, and honestly helped him make sausages. The couple wore a large cage of sausages and hung them outside the cave to smoke.

The snow in midwinter has not melted, the days are getting colder, the ice sticks hanging on the trees are getting longer and longer, and the deadly cold light is shining in the daytime, so the females in the tribe dare not come out at will, afraid of the ice sticks The stick fell and hit someone, and the thick and sharp popsicle fell and probably made a big hole in the head.

After the collective sewing activity ended, Luo's sewing was not over. A group of females discussed and produced many new styles.

The animal skins of Meng Sheng and Qiu Juan were all transformed into clothes and pants of different styles.

Counting the end of the year, Meng Sheng called Zhong Yang and Tang Dun over to prepare a meal symbolizing the Spring Festival.

Although Zhong Yang and Tang Dun didn't know what day it was, they both put on their underwear and shoes by coincidence. The two compared their styles in the dam for a while, and Qiu Juan handed over a knife. : "Zhongyang, Brother Meng said that you are responsible for killing sheep, Tang Dun, you kill chickens."

The poultry raised in late summer and early autumn are ready to be served in the Chinese New Year, and it is not easy to mow grass in winter. Meng Sheng only kept lambs. As for the two pheasants, one of them only knows how to eat without laying eggs. It’s useless to raise it, but the other one has laid some eggs one after another. The chicks that hatched at the beginning have grown up a lot, and it’s not in vain to keep them for so long. The chicks have never seen a pheasant fly. won't fly anymore.

Meng Sheng decided to expand the scale next year, the chicken lays the egg.

The two males were assigned a task, and they rushed to work.

Meng Sheng opened a stone jar, and it was full of fresh goods, including big birds, hares, pheasants, and prepared internal organs. As for the chickens and sheep processed by the males, he placed them all on the chopped banana leaves. , Put a circle around the stone pot.

"Eat raw food?" Zhong Yang got a sausage cooked by Luo and was eating it vigorously. Seeing the row of uncooked food on the table, he expressed dissatisfaction.

Meng Sheng spent a lot of money, used most of his chili peppers, and a dry seasoning, and painstakingly boiled beef fat to make hot pot. To the male who didn't know what to buy, he sneered: "If you eat raw food, I need it." Are you trying to get you to slice the mutton into thin slices? You also need to use pork bones to make broth."

"This sausage is delicious." Tang Dun couldn't resist the bacon-flavored lean meat intestines, and praised Qiu Juan.

Qiu Juan ate a lot of bacon in winter, but Qiu Juan was not as interested in sausages as the two males.

"This hot pot only eats meat but not vegetarian, which is also boring."

"What is meat but no vegetarian?"

Meng Sheng washed the hair soaked in kelp from the trading field and put it on the banana leaf: "There is only meat, no wild vegetables."

"In winter, there are wild vegetables buried in snow, so it's not easy to find. How about I go out and see if I can dig some, and see if there are any winter fruits." Tang Dun suggested after finishing his work. .

"Forget it, it's so dangerous outside."

"What are you afraid of? If you don't believe in my vigorous skills!" Tang Dun put a thick hat on his head: "Even if you don't believe it, I still have a hat, and when the popsicle falls, it won't be able to hit me. !"

Zhong Yang hurriedly said: "I will go too!"

Meng Sheng didn't stop the two of them either, he really wanted to eat some vegetarian food, he never left meat in the original meal, and Aunt Luo would bring some wild vegetables in the warm season, it was good for a while, but after winter, he almost ate meat , It's really constipation! After the beginning of spring, we must sow the things he exchanged from the trading field.

Later, when the hot pot bottom material is fried, the pork bone broth is added, and the long-lost hot pot soup is ready.

The stone pot conducts heat slowly, so Meng Sheng specially stuffed charcoal and malachite into the stove, for fear that the temperature would not be high enough, but he did not dare to stuff too much, for fear that the stone pot would crack due to the heat. It is also appropriate to heat it up. The water in the stone pot boiled in a short time.

The smell of hot pot from a cave wafted out, but the two males who ran out were lured back.

"Only a dozen or so winter fruits were picked, and not even two wild vegetables."

Looking at the two males who came back shaking the snow, Luo hurriedly said, "Go and enjoy the fire, and see how it's frozen."

Meng Sheng roasted half a head of sheep, two pork legs, two chickens and hares, and sausage hot pot. The meal was quite hearty.

In order to eat this hot pot meal, the rough men insisted on learning to use Meng Sheng's chopsticks, knives and forks.

Meng Sheng boiled the mutton, dipped it in the seasoning and stuffed it into his mouth. The hot meat and chili were intertwined, and his whole body was warmed up with just one bite: "It would be better if there is wine!"

Zhong Yang learned how to boil a sea fish with chopsticks, and it was about to be stuffed into his mouth after being scalded in the pot for a few seconds. Meng Sheng quickly interrupted his chopsticks: "You fucking need to cook this for a while!"

"It's not the same!"

"Boil the thin ones for a while, and cook the big ones more."

Tang Dun laughed loudly and said, "Zhongyang, if you don't know how to just grab what's in the pot, there's a lot of good stuff in the pot."

Luo watched a group of children laughing, he didn't dare to eat too much spicy food, but preferred the few wild vegetables, while Qiu Juan was silently eating a certain offal of a cow, of course, he didn't know about the crunchy thing It's called hairy belly.

Meng Sheng scalded lamb kidneys with chopsticks several times in a row. The small things were cut into smaller pieces, and they looked a little pitiful in front of the big pieces: "Eat more of this, it's delicious."

The simple Qiu Juan ate a few mouthfuls, and it was indeed crispier than a hairy belly, so he didn't refuse, but he was surprised after eating more: "It's so delicious, why don't you eat it?"

Meng Sheng raised his eyebrows: "I'll give you all the delicious food."

Afterwards, he kindly scalded some for Zhong Yang and Tang Dun, and the two were deeply moved. After all, Meng Sheng can control the heat, and the scalded food is delicious.

This meal took a very long time, which is due to the fact that it takes a long time to eat on New Year's Eve. This is the only time when there is food left over from a party meal. Zhong Yang is reluctant to part with these delicacies, but his stomach can't hold it .

He leaned against the wall of the cave: "Meng Sheng, this hot pot is absolutely delicious. I feel warm all over after eating it. Let's eat it later."

Tang Dun also echoed: "Yes, it is really suitable to eat in winter."

Can it be inappropriate? How many generations are the crystallization of it

"Then wait until this time next year to eat."

Fearing that he would see the ice picks outside later, Meng Sheng didn't keep two more people, and sent them away before dark.

Although I don't know the exact time now, Meng Sheng feels that after the cold for a while, it should be the beginning of spring. After a winter of idleness, he really didn't do anything except buying furniture and daily necessities for the cave. , Just wait for the beginning of spring to do a lot of work.

"Why do I feel a little hot today?"

When Qiu Juan entered the cave, he took off his coat and still felt warm all over. Meng Sheng quickly changed into a lying position, opened his hands and said to Ya Nu: "Come on, I'm cold, let me hug you." hug!"

"You're not a child, why are you hugging me?" Qiu Juan patted his paws stretched out on his waist, sat on the edge of the bed and took off his shoes.

As soon as the shoes hit the ground, his body lightened, the male clasped his waist, and in a blink of an eye, he was pushed down on the bed. The male jumped over and pecked him on the mouth: "Is it still hot?"

Qiu Juan frowned, what does it have to do with a kiss? When he opened his mouth to say something, the male interrupted him: "Feel it carefully, is it still hot?"

His eyebrows tightened a bit, as if... it was better, but he still stiffened his neck and replied, "It's hot!"

Meng Sheng licked his lips and smiled maliciously, it's right to be hot! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of those sheep's kidneys

So Meng kind-hearted people used the excuse of cooling down to take advantage of it! fire! hit! Rob!

The winter night was long, and the two males who returned to the cave were still in good spirits. They felt that it was good to eat hot pot, and their bodies were warmed inside. It was not the same thing to lie on the cold stone bed, because there were no kind people to help.

From the two caves far apart, a male sighed at the same time: "It's really time to find a mate!"

After the beginning of spring, the forest is full of noises all day long. The snow on the trees melts, and the ice picks fall in the sun and hit the ground. These days are more terrifying than winter.

There were no trees in the clearing outside Mengsheng Cave, but it was very safe. Taking advantage of the good weather, the couple beat out the tree stumps and burned them. After the snow completely melted and the forest returned to dark green, the tree stumps on the clearing were also removed. .

Qiu Juan was responsible for burning the tree stumps into charcoal, while Meng Sheng planed and refurbished the land, and moved stones to build a flagstone road.

When the spring breeze blows into the Yilin tribe, when the flowers on the lover's slope are blooming everywhere, and there are wild vegetables in the cave, the new chief election begins.

Meng Sheng went to bed early, and after eating breakfast in a leisurely manner, he changed into spring clothes made by Luo, and the couple walked slowly towards the chief.

On the way, the two met the aborigines who were going to vote: "Meng Sheng, why did you go so late! I'm afraid all the males will be here by now."

"It's not time for the election yet."

"Hey, going early will win you a lot of money! Think about it, show off in front of everyone more, everyone will think of your good past, maybe they want to choose someone else, but in the end they choose you instead."

Meng Sheng laughed. The truth actually made sense, but he didn't go to participate in the election.

"But don't worry, no matter if you go to our cave early or late, I will choose you."

Meng Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Then thank you."

Sure enough, as the aborigines said, when we arrived outside the chief’s cave, the open space was already full of people. Whether it was the food sharing or the last blind date meeting, there were many people who came, and the open space was still wide, but looking at the formation this time Obviously, there were still many people in the tribe who had not participated in the activities before, but for such a major event as the election, except for those who couldn't get out of the cave, most of the people in the tribe were called together.

It was rare for the natives to not be noisy, probably because the atmosphere was rather serious, and everyone was thinking about who to vote for their precious vote.

In everyone's mind, there are five places for candidates, but only two are selected. It is really difficult to choose them.

Tang Dun was excluded by the majority of people. Although he was capable, he was still young. It was impossible for the two brothers of the Tang family to be selected at the same time, and at least one of them must be eliminated.

Tang Yu, he has a bad temper. Most people in the tribe have heard him scold his mother. Although it’s okay for a male to utter a few exciting words, it’s always uncomfortable to hear too much. As for Kongjia, everyone’s impression is not bad, gentle and gentle. He was calm, but he got mixed up with Tang Tong before. Although Bu Ming didn't disclose many things directly, everyone was not blind, and he was instantly discounted in everyone's mind.

Then Zhongyang, on the other hand, is enthusiastic and caring about everything. He is good in all aspects, but he is a bit honest. The only shortcoming is that everyone is not a rising star. disadvantage.

Everyone has their own thoughts, but they all have a bottom line in their hearts.

After the chief expressed his feelings over the years as the chief according to the procedure, he then turned the topic to the topic and announced the list of candidates.

"The new chief depends on everyone's election. Presumably everyone already has a candidate in their hearts. Now it is the powerful male in our tribe."

The natives cheered at the right time, and the chief called out the names of the candidates: "Zhongyang, Kong Jia, Tang Yu, Tang Dun!"

Everyone hesitated for a while, only Zhong Yang went to the middle of the burning sacrificial site after listening to his father read the four names, the other three had the same thought in their hearts, they paused without saying anything, and hurriedly followed Zhong Yang’s Step to the middle.

At this time, the crowd was boiling, and amidst the discussions, many eyes glanced at Meng Sheng. After a commotion, someone finally asked loudly: "Chief! Did you miss one thing?"

The natives quickly agreed.

Zhong Xin shook his head with certainty: "The candidates in the tribe are all recommended by everyone first, but the position of the chief depends on the wishes of both parties. I know everyone must be wondering why Meng Sheng didn't participate. This is his choice. .”

Everyone was in an uproar, followed by sighs one after another.

The four males standing on the high sacrificial altar have their own thoughts, two are secretly happy, one is shocked, and the other already knows it well.

"Alright, four males please turn their backs, and the election begins."

Meng Sheng participated in the election ceremony for the first time. If he is not a selected male, he has the opportunity to vote. Holding a beast tooth, he lined up to vote.

The election is actually very simple. It is nothing more than letting the males stand on the sacrificial altar, and put a big bamboo tube behind each of them. Whoever everyone likes puts the animal teeth in the wooden barrel. In addition, there is also an age limit for elections. You must be an adult, and aboriginals under the age of 50 can vote.

A person has two votes, and when the time comes, from high to low, the chief has the most votes, followed by the deputy chief.

Meng Sheng put the votes into the barrels of Zhongyang and Tang Dun respectively, and Qiu Juanfu sang his husband Sui.

The wooden barrel was very high. Meng Sheng actually wanted to take a peek at the voting situation, but he couldn't.

After the couple voted and retreated to the edge, Qiu Juan was a little worried: "Brother Meng, if Brother Zhongyang doesn't become the chief, what should we do?"

"Then our plan will be in vain!"

Qiu Juan's heart skipped a beat. He grabbed the corner of the male's clothes and was about to say something, but the male lowered his eyebrows first, bit his lip, and looked at him pitifully: "If I lose the election, you will still love me." ?"

“…………”

The voting alone took about ten minutes, until all the people of the right age had cast their votes, and the older and respected elders in the tribe had to count their votes.

At this moment, Meng Sheng was surrounded by many indigenous people, and everyone came to ask him why he did not accept the election.

"I prepared all the animal teeth for you, but you didn't participate. What's going on?"

"Yes, is there any unspeakable difficulty?"

Meng Sheng was still very happy that so many people cared about him: "Thank you everyone for wanting to vote for me. I really quit voluntarily. Don't think too much about it."

Several males on the sacrificial altar looked at Meng Sheng's direction, and Tang Yu put his hands around his chest: "What kind of tricks is this Meng Sheng doing? Could it be that he became Zhong Yang? He is really willing to give up this opportunity?"

Kong Jia raised the corner of his mouth, and a stern look flashed in his eyes: "Have you already given up on being reluctant?"

At that time, this kid will have no status in the tribe, don't think about it, isn't there a lot of tricks, and then he will let him have no chance to speak in the tribe.

Tang Dun was very worried: "Zhongyang, why did Meng Sheng give up? He didn't mention it before."

Zhong Yang shrugged his shoulders: "He doesn't want to be a chief."

Because Tang Dun was excited, his voice was a little loud: "Then what does he want to do!"

"He said..." Zhong Yang touched the tip of his nose and wanted to laugh: "He wants to eat soft food."

"Ruanfan? What is Ruanfan?"

The two brothers of the Tang family spoke in unison.

Just as Zhong Yang was about to answer, the elders had already calculated the voting results, and everyone immediately tensed up. After all, no one has absolute confidence in voting.

Presumably to avoid suspicion, it was not Chief Zhongxin who announced the results this time, but an elder with graying hair. The elder's voice was low and vicissitudes, and he didn't say anything nonsense, and directly said the result: "The one with the most votes is Zhong Yang, followed by Kong Jia and Tang Yu, and the last one is Tang Dun."

"What does it mean that Kong Jia Tang Yu is second, and who is second?"

"There are as many as two people." The elder's voice was neither salty nor weak, but it was very intimidating.

"There has never been such a thing in the election, so what should we do?"

Chief Zhong Xin heaved a sigh of relief. Anyway, his son was elected. As for who will be the deputy chief, it doesn't matter that much: "Everyone be quiet, this result is something we didn't expect. Why don't you re-elect and elect the deputy chief."

In this way, the deputy chief of the last term will quit. Although Kong Jia and Tang Yu are selected because of their ability in the cave, they still want their son to be elected. If Tang Yu loses the election, wouldn’t he be very disappointed? He hurriedly said: "Chief, there is no precedent for a second election in the tribe. Since this is the result, it means that it is destined, why not let them both be deputy chiefs, and have one more powerful male to contribute to the tribe. After all Not a bad thing."

Zhong Xin scolded the old fox inwardly, and the words have come to this point, if he objected, it would appear that he was stingy, and he maintained a dignified face: "It's better to let everyone decide."

The natives have not faced this kind of situation yet, but the deputy chief is right, it is always for the tribe, and re-election means that one person will lose the election, and it will hurt the male heart too much, so the sparse voices are all Yes agree.

The next thing was the handover ceremony, and then the selected personnel gave speeches. Meng Sheng felt very bored. These procedures had been established a long time ago. He didn't want to listen to them at all, and he didn't bother to watch them, so he dragged Qiu Juan to hide away. Unexpectedly, Tang Dun But he found it.

"Don't be disappointed if you don't get selected." Meng Sheng patted Xiongxiong on the shoulder, saying that Tang Dun was a little younger than Qiu Juandu, and he treated him like a younger brother.

Tang Dun is open-minded: "I'm young, so I didn't expect to be selected. I just wanted to make up the number, and I can't bear such a heavy burden. My brother can be selected."

Meng Sheng laughed softly: "You really can think about it."

"I can't think about it, why don't you run for election!"

Meng Sheng raised his eyebrows: "I'm not running for the election, I'm directly here for the coronation."

"What is a coronation?"

Tang Dun felt that he could no longer understand what Zhong Yang and Meng Sheng were saying.

"Thank you everyone for your trust. From now on, I, Zhong Yang, will definitely manage the tribe well." The male standing on the sacrificial altar held up the scepter symbolizing the chief, swearing like a fool.

"From the moment I become chief, I want to use my rights to declare one thing."

Meng Sheng put his hand on Tang Dun's shoulder: "Listen, here we come!"

Tang Dun was dazed, and followed Meng Sheng's gaze to look at the altar, and a masculine voice sounded: "Meng Sheng will become the second priest of the Yilin Tribe!"
