I am a Primitive Man

Chapter 191: Harvest song

A grand feast is naturally indispensable since it's a celebration of moving to a new home. All kinds of food the Green Sparrow Tribe can offer are brought out, and everyone can eat to their heart's content.

Although lacking various seasonings, for the people of the Green Sparrow Tribe, these dishes are indeed the epitome of deliciousness.

After the meal, as night falls, many people are eager to return to their new homes and sleep on the heated bed again, experiencing that comfortable feeling again, but Han Cheng stops them.

What kind of celebration would it be without a bonfire party?

Han Cheng said there should be a bonfire, so the bonfire in the courtyard was lit. Han Cheng said there should be dancing, so…

So everyone was stunned. They didn't understand what the Divine Child meant by "dancing."

But not knowing how to dance is okay, as long as there are people to teach and learn.

Street dance is cool, Latin dance is beautiful, square dance is trendy, ballet is challenging…

None of these have anything to do with Han Cheng or the Green Sparrow Tribe because Han Cheng doesn't know them.

He only knows a bit of harvest song and two sets of radio calisthenics…

Radio calisthenics are too serious and not suitable for such a joyous occasion. Plus, they remind Han Cheng of the fear of being controlled by the school.

So, the harvest song appeared earlier than it should have.

Without handkerchiefs or floral decorations, small pieces of animal hide are used instead. Without drums, wooden clappers and stones are used.

At first, some thought the Divine Child’s steps and poses were mesmerizing, while others felt embarrassed.

But as the continuous sound of wooden clappers and stone strikes rang out and more and more people danced around the bonfire with the Divine Child, those who were initially hesitant gradually became attracted by the joyful laughter and infectious smiles of those dancing, and they became eager to join in.

Breaking through the barriers in their hearts, they joined the celebration.

The Shaman, who often dances as a deity, did not join this chaotic dance party. He stood aside, tapping the clappers, watching the joyful crowd. With missing teeth, he couldn't close his mouth.

This event if not for Han Cheng's announcement, even experts in harvest song dancing wouldn't recognize it as a bonfire dance. It gradually subsided after dancing for a while, and those drenched in sweat felt incredibly refreshed.

After venting their inner joy this way, everyone felt light-hearted and invigorated.

These people, who don't have many leisure activities on ordinary days, suddenly fell in love with this activity created by the Divine Child that brings joy to both body and mind.

Some of the less reserved ones walked toward their rooms, swaying…

Han Cheng lay on the heated bed, layered with thick dry grass and topped with a piece of fur. Comfortably stretching, he pulled a soft and thick sheepskin over himself. Without the primitive tunes disturbing him, he soon fell asleep…

"Cock-a-doodle-doo~"

Not very clear and causing some surprise from the future, the crowing of a rooster woke Han Cheng up. He opened his eyes.

With no dreams all night, he felt refreshed in the morning.

When he got up to wash, Han Cheng was startled because, as far as he could see, the eyes of the Green Sparrow Tribe adults were all red and bloodshot, looking as if they all had conjunctivitis.

Reading history makes one wise, mathematics makes one clever, but would dancing harvest song around a bonfire make everyone collectively get conjunctivitis?

Han Cheng thought absurdly like this, then hurriedly lowered his head to look at his own eyes in the basin. His gaze was clear and still carried innocence…

And a bit of shamelessness.

He saw a child and found that his eyes were completely normal, like any other day.

Han Cheng grabbed Tie Tou, whose eyes were also red, and asked what was happening, but Tie Tou stuttered and couldn't explain.

Han Cheng instantly understood when he saw this, so he let go of Tie Tou and smiled at these troublemakers.

"It's not…"

Seeing the expression on the Divine Child's face, Tie Tou immediately knew what the Divine Child was thinking and hurriedly shook his hands to explain.

The Divine Child seemed to know everything like a wise child, smiling as if to say ‘I understand' and returning to his room with his toiletries, leaving Tie Tou speechless and bewildered.

Han Cheng misunderstood Tie Tou and the others this time. They didn't sleep well last night, which was somewhat related to what he thought, but not to a large extent.

The biggest reason was that these people slept in new houses on soft beds, and their spirits were too excited to sleep.

Tie Tou felt it would be embarrassing to say this before the Divine Child, so he seemed hesitant. As a result, this hesitation led to a big misunderstanding falling on his head.

He looked at the already large belly of Ru Hua, then looked at Hei Wa, who was shaking his leg and poking his teeth with a twig, appearing to be in a good mood, and beside Hei Wa, Zhuang, whose belly had shrunk after giving birth, felt even more wronged by carrying this blame.

It was Hei Wa and Zhuang. He hadn't done anything; he just peeked at the visitors in the middle of the night.

As if sensing something, Hei Wa, who had just spat out a mouthful of mouthwash, happened to turn his head.

He found Tie Tou looking at him, and without hesitation, he showed a smirk…

The weather grew colder daily, with more and more leaves falling. The Green Sparrow Tribe prepared to cultivate the wasteland to plant rapeseed, and all the land was turned over with rapeseed already planted.

The first batch that was planted has already sprouted, and some of them have four leaves already.

The land that was burned and prepared for planting millet next year has been cultivated for half of it.

Today, all the work of cultivating wasteland has stopped, and the main labor force in the tribe is going to pick fruits.

Although the Green Sparrow Tribe is not short of food now, fruits still need to be stored, and they make excellent desserts after meals.

Nuts like pine nuts are especially delicious as snacks.

The people who went to pick fruits not only brought hooks and baskets but also took stone spears and reinforced vine shields.

For the past two autumns, when picking fruits, they have encountered the Flying Snake Tribe in the orchard. Last winter, the two tribes had another life-and-death battle, which can be said to have taken on a blood feud.

In the future, it will be difficult to reconcile if they encounter each other again, and disputes will not end like before, with both sides throwing away their weapons and fighting bare-handed.

So, they must be vigilant and make sure to bring enough weapons.

In the past, there were elders and children participating in picking fruits, but this year, none of them went, as their ability to resist danger is not strong enough.

At first, Shang didn't quite understand the seriousness of Eldest Senior Brother and the others.

It's just picking fruits, not hunting, so why be so cautious?

But after he learned the reason behind it, his previous thoughts disappeared immediately. Not only did he bring two stone spears and a vine shield, but he also placed half of the stone bullets, especially left over from when they were picking stones to build houses, into the baskets on his back for easy throwing.
