On the day of the festival, everyone got up early and started to get busy.
The orcs were divided into two groups. One group stayed to help Lin Mu and the others prepare food for the beast god, and some followed Patrik to hunt prey for the beast god.
Lin Mu had already prepared pastries the day before, and made several simple patterns, of course, the taste was slightly different. Although they are mainly sweet, there are some differences due to the different juices added. In order to make these pastries more flavorful, Lin Mu and the others put in a lot of thought and tried a lot of fruits before finding a few flavors that go well with the flour.
The focus of their busy work now is the crispy meat and the fish balls and fried fish they want to prepare. As for the sweet and sour fish, Lin Mu finally decided to make it. After all, it was a gift to be sacrificed to the beast gods, and Lin Mu hadn't made it for them before.
Lin Mu is busy here, and Patrik's side is not easy. The reason why the most powerful orcs in the tribe are organized to hunt every year on the festival is also because it is more difficult for them to hunt animals. After all, on the festival of worshiping the gods, it was impossible for them to simply kill some prey. The strength of the prey also showed his respect for the beast god, and at the same time, he was showing the beast god how powerful his tribe was. So before, Patrik discussed with Jason and the others that they were going to hunt bone beasts.
The Bone Beast is named for the protruding bones on its body. The skin of the Bone Beast is very hard/hard, and there are huge spikes on its body, and it has a very long tail full of thorns. If an ordinary orc is caught by its If the tail is swept, it will be seriously injured. The most difficult thing about the bone beast is that its bones are as hard as iron, and its skin is also invulnerable. In fact, no one would like to eat its meat, and there is not much meat on the bone beast. But because bone beasts are very ferocious and difficult to hunt, they will be hunted during the festival. After all, the more difficult an animal is, the more it can show the ability of a tribe.
Sasha was drooling looking at the freshly cooked sweet and sour fish, looking at the red sugar juice, smelling the sweet and sour taste, he couldn't eat it, it was really torturing him. But he didn't have the guts to steal it. After all, the beast god was above him, and he didn't want to be punished by the beast god, so he could only swallow his saliva while looking at the things in front of him.
"It's so fragrant, Lin Mu~" Sasha's voice was very bitter.
Lin Mu could only give him a mournful look, and then heard Sasha lament: "I'm so hungry..." No one would pay attention to him after dragging his voice. One is that everyone is very busy, and the other is that everyone is also very hungry. But because today is the festival of worshiping the gods, everyone cannot eat before the gods. Although I ate a lot last night because I was worried that I would be hungry today, I couldn't help but smell the aroma that wafted through my nose. In fact, everyone feels the same way as Sasha, this is really torture.
The remaining orcs not only helped Lin Mu prepare food, but also arranged the altar that was just built last night. Of course, their altar was very simple, they just built a platform on the field in front of the door, and now the orcs lifted the table where the tribute would be placed to the altar after cleaning.
It was almost noon when Lin Mu prepared all the food. Seeing that Patrik and the others hadn't come back, he first asked people to put the prepared food on the altar. After all, this sacrifice must be on time at noon. held.
Patrik arrived in time before noon, Lin Mu saw them put the huge and hideous bone beast in front of the altar, Lin Mu hurried to Patrik, "How are you, are you injured? "He heard that the bone beasts were powerful, and he was very worried, but he couldn't stop them from hunting the bone beasts. That is the dignity of a tribe.
Patrik shook his head at the nervous Lin Mu, "It's okay, our hunting went well." Although everyone was slightly injured, it didn't matter.
Lin Mu scanned Patrik's body, and was relieved that he didn't find any obvious wounds on his body.
Lais and the others pulled Lin Mu away, "The sacrifice is about to begin, you need to change your clothes quickly."
Seeing Lin Mu being pulled away, Patrik heaved a sigh of relief. Bone beasts are naturally not easy to catch. He was also injured, but the injury was on his back and he covered it up. He didn't want Lin Mu to worry about him at this time .
After being helped by several people to put on the clothes made for worshiping the gods, Sasha also conveniently inserted some feathers of unknown animals into the headband tied on Lin Mu's head, which made Lin Mu very puzzled.
"Are all priests dressed like this?"
"No, it's just that I think it looks better with some feathers. Look how beautiful the feathers are." The bright red feathers are very eye-catching, but Lin Mu still couldn't help complaining about his aesthetics.
Pushed to the altar by several people, Lin Mu saw that the people standing on the ground looked at him seriously, Lin Mu suddenly became nervous. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten all the sacrificial words he had memorized. I shouted "It's over!" in my heart, but on the surface I was pretending to be calm.
Lin Mu sprinkled the beast's blood on the altar, looking at the solemn people under the altar, they lowered their heads slightly to show their respect to the beast god. Even though these orcs have suffered and been expelled, they still believe in their own beliefs, and they firmly believe in the beast gods.
Lin Mu looked up at the sky, and suddenly he knew how to say sacrifices to the beast god.
"Great Beast God, these are your people, even though they are expelled, even if they bear the reputation of betraying the Beast God, they still firmly believe that the Beast God will not abandon them. I hope the Beast God can give us a bright future After finishing speaking, Lin Mu suddenly thought of one thing. Autumn is also called the harvest season. Whether there are enough animals in this period determines whether the winter will go smoothly. Therefore, when the gods are sacrificed, the priests will usually act as beast gods to give them a rich harvest season. In autumn, "I hope the beast gods will give us abundant food."
Although Lin Mu's sacrificing words were a bit short and somewhat different from memory, they were more relevant to them, and the orcs didn't have any idea. Next, they will wait quietly, hoping that the Beast God can accept their gift.
When Lin Mu spoke to the sky, his back was facing everyone, and at the same time, his back was facing the altar. When he turned around to see everyone's reaction, he was stunned, "Huh?" Why did the tribute on the table disappear? He looked at the people who were still bowing their heads slightly. If it wasn't for them being so respectful He would wonder if someone stole all the tributes. However, judging by the situation now, it is definitely not theirs who took it, so naturally it is...
Lin Mu shouted happily, "The Beast God has accepted our gift~"
Lin Mu's voice made everyone raise their heads. When they saw the empty altar with no plates left, everyone froze for a moment, and then cheers erupted from the crowd.
"Great! Beast God accepted our gift..."
"Great! The Beast God didn't abandon us..."
…
Looking at the excited crowd, Lin Mu looked up at the distant sky, the beast god finally gave them some hope.
Clouds in the sky…
The blurred figure surrounded by clouds and mist made a happy voice, "It's not easy to finally eat normal food. It's been many years. It seems that my decision is correct."
Judging by the posture of the person, it seems to be gobbling.
A cloud of mist appeared beside him, and his figure was still blurry, making it difficult to see clearly.
A cold voice, "Master, you shouldn't eat that much."
"Longling, it's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious food, so you just have the heart to stop me..." He stuttered, and it seemed that the person called the master didn't stop eating.
"It's easy to accumulate food if you eat too much." The voice of the person called Longling was still cold, even though the words he said were words of concern.
The man seemed to be choked by his words, and then shouted loudly: "What accumulation of food, I am a god, okay?!"
Another cloud of mist flew over, "Master, have you forgotten your food accumulation last time and last time? What's more, this is a sacrifice from the beast world, so it is natural to measure the master's stomach in the form of a human being." Ah." Even though this person couldn't see his face clearly, his voice made people feel that he was a seductive person.
The man lost his voice, but if he listened carefully, the sound of chewing continued.
Seeing that the person didn't have the slightest intention to shut up, he said in a seductive voice, "Wu, I took the master's food."
"Lian, how could you do this!" The man was furious that his food was taken away.
"Hehehe, master, don't be angry. Those are not all yours. Master should think about what to bestow on them now. After all, if you eat others, you have to pay them back."
"What blessings should I give them? I haven't given them before."
Longling, "Master, that is your selfish act, not a blessing for the wandering beasts."
Long Ling's words successfully made his master choke again.
"Damn it! I can't think of it now, I'll talk about it when I think about it." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.
Lian looked at the person who left in anger, and said to an ice cube and a silent person next to him: "The master is getting cuter and cuter, it seems that it's my turn to serve the master today, hehehe..." The laughter made the people next to him The two couldn't help trembling.
————Back to the altar———
Lin Mu stepped down from the altar, and the prepared gift was accepted by the beast god, which means that they will be blessed by the beast god. This is such good news, and it also means that the festival is a success. Of course, it also makes Lin Mu a temporary puller. Those who came to serve as priests felt a sense of accomplishment, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
He came to Patrik's side, looked at him and looked at himself with a smile, "Look, you are right, the beast god has not abandoned you. We will definitely have a bright future."
Patrik nodded, "Yes."
The festival has a good result, everyone is naturally very happy, celebration is of course necessary, and Lin Mu's food is naturally indispensable. They have been thinking about the enshrined food for a long time. It's a pity that Chef Lin is on strike today - sulking in the room. Why do you ask? The tribe agreed that Lin Mu felt distressed.
It turned out that when Lin Mu was talking to Patrik, he found that there was something wrong with the other party, and then he discovered the injury on his body—Patrik's back was blurred. Lin Mu looked distressed, and at the same time very angry, angry that Patrik didn't tell him about the injury.
Seeing that Lin Mu was angry, Patrik naturally wanted to coax him, but he still had to pay attention to this coaxing method. He knew that Lin Mu was worried about himself, and he was also afraid of his injury, but orcs always had to take risks when they went out to hunt. This world was like this, and they could only obey the laws of this world. All he has to do now is appease his partner.
Patrik carefully sat next to Lin Mu, "Mu Mu, I was wrong."
Lin Mu remained silent.
"Mumu..." Patrik moved closer, "I was really wrong."
"Hmph, where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't let myself get hurt, and I shouldn't let Mumu worry about me. I was wrong."
Lin Mu looked up at the orc in front of him. This person was his only support in this world. He didn't know if he would have the courage to live without this person. He thought this person was very powerful before, he had never seen him injured, but today, when he saw the bloody look on his back, he suddenly felt very scared. afraid of losing. The strength of this person made him almost forget the dangers of this world.
Lin Muhong stared, "Patrik, you must be very careful when you go hunting in the future, don't get hurt again."
Patrik hugged Lin Mu, "I promise you." Don't let you worry, don't let you be afraid.
"Let's all go out, we're all still hungry."
When the two went out, everyone saw that they were well and did not stare at Lin Mu. Lin Mu was a little embarrassed, everyone was busy, but he himself was having trouble with Patric.
He ran to Lai Si and the others, who were making fish balls. Lin Mu also reached out to help. He heard that Lloyd was also injured, "Phil, is Lloyd okay?"
Phil smiled and said, "It's okay, he just suffered some minor injuries to his arm, and I've given him medicine."
"It's fine." Lin Mu said with a smile. Then concentrate on the fish at hand.
Sasha moved closer to him, "Lin Mu, let's make sweet and sour fish."
Lin Mu is in a good mood now, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's make two."
The two fish that Lin Mu was referring to were two very big ones, and they were caught in the reservoir they dug. During the rainy season, Lin Mu asked them to dig the reservoir, and also said the size, but Patrik later told him that the size was too small, so he let Patrik decide. And when Lin Mu really saw the reservoir, he sighed that it was not small. As for when the orcs put the fish in, he didn't know.
And the orcs who were grilling meat not far away talked about their luck in high spirits. And Patrik couldn't take his eyes off Lin Mu's busy figure.
"It's burnt." Jason's characteristic cold tone allowed Patrik to see the condition of the meat skewer in his hand. He casually ate the burnt skewers, "Jason, I'm going to hold a ceremony with Lin Mu soon."
Jason didn't respond.
"Lloyd told Locke that he would be with me, what about you?"
Jason still didn't speak, but just looked at the tall figure. For a long time, "I don't know."
"I don't know if he will agree to you?" Patric looked at Lais, "He likes you very much, otherwise why would the female live with you."
Jason thought about it.
"I don't know what you're thinking about?"
"short time."
Patrik felt that if he didn't want to maintain his image as the patriarch, he really wanted to roll his eyes like Lin Mu's, and there would be some orc who didn't make a move in time because of the short time with the female, "We don't have a long time. Could it be Is it that you don't like him?"
Jason, "No."
"Then what are you hesitating about?" Patric felt that sometimes Jason really made people wonder what he was thinking. No orc would miss the opportunity to pursue a female. Why is this hesitant? Could it be Jason? Not as smart as Locke
"hold on."
Patric looked at Jason with some surprise. Could it be that Jason didn't have that strong liking for Lace? But it's not quite right.
"You can figure it out yourself, just don't miss such a good opportunity." Patrik turned over the meat skewers in his hand and instructed, then stood up and took the meat skewers to find Lin Mu. No matter what, they can't starve Mu Mu.
Jason, on the other hand, looked at Lace and wondered what he was thinking.
Sasha ate the sweet and sour fish as he wished, and at the same time fell in love with the taste of sweet and sour fish.
"It's so delicious! Lin Mu, I want to learn!" Sasha felt that he should learn more about his favorite food while he still had the opportunity.
Lin Mu felt that someone could do it better, so he would be much more free.
With Sasha raising his watch to learn, Phil and the others will naturally not lag behind. Misha also joined in, "I want to learn too, so I can make it for my father."
Misha's words made Matt very happy.
Lin Mu agreed with a smile, no pressure.
