Chapter 2482: The Miraculous Wedding of the Funeral-Eating Tribe
Finally, Uwaru explained that the burial-eating tribe was different from the cannibal tribe. Although they also ate human flesh, their nature was completely different.
The custom of food burial is different from the methods used by humans to bury the dead, namely burial, cremation, water burial, wind burial, sky burial and other burial methods that are accepted by most ethnic groups in the world. Food burial is only a special burial method of a few tribes.
The Ula people who live in the dense forest follow this unique burial custom. They eat the remains of their dead and bury the dead in the bellies of the living, so they are called burial eaters.
"Aren't these cannibals?" Natalie whispered after hearing this.
"This is completely different from cannibals who kill women for food." Although Li Han did not agree with this burial custom, he respected the Ula ethnic customs.
"Uwaru, tell them, thank them for the invitation, let's pack up and go over." Li Han looked at the sky, which was getting darker. Now in the dense forest, there are mosquitoes, birds, beasts, and even other predators. You might not be able to sleep well if you stay here at night.
"Han, are you planning to go?" Natalie saw Li Han nodding. "Ah, no."
"The tribe is safer and much quieter than here." Li Han said. "Seeing that it's getting nighttime, it's not a good idea to stay here."
"I'd rather stay here." Natalie shook her head.
"It's okay. I just asked Uwaru to ask. The last burial of the tribe was half a year ago. Don't worry." Li Han said.
Natalie was so angry that she stopped talking when she saw that Li Han was determined to accept the invitation from the Ula tribe.
Follow the members of the Ula tribe to the tribe. This is a small tribe, even smaller than the hunter tribe, with less than twenty households. The leader of the tribe is the hunter Ulazu who just inherited half a year ago, and he is in his thirties.
Ulazu was a hospitable man. He held a bonfire party in the forest clearing in the center of the tribe at night, and brought out the best prey to entertain Li Han and his party. Li Han gave twenty sets of mosquito nets as a gift, which excited the whole tribe.
You know, the Ula people rarely go out. Compared with the hunter tribe, they still have some contact with the outside world. The Ula people rarely have contact with the outside world. Even the government doesn’t know that the Ula people exist. If it weren’t for Uwaru’s mother, a Ula woman who ran away .
Maybe they understand so clearly that the Ula tribe is a mysterious ethnic tribe. After the bonfire party, Li Han and his party returned to the hut. The hut was built using root grass and some animal skins. It was very simple.
"Why is there still a pit here?
"
"Fire pit."
Li Han said with a smile. "Boil some water in a while and drink it at night."
There were branches and some hay beside the fire pit, as well as rough and simple water vessels made of clay. When he came, Li Han saw an earthen kiln built on a high slope of the tribe to bake these food vessels.
Some women take their children with them to carry the cooked food utensils. This is a tribe that makes a living by hunting. When their husbands go out hunting, the women take their children at home, busy with housework, and cooking some household utensils. It was also done by women.
Li Han picked up the water container and found it was filled with water. This made Li Han a little touched. "Let's boil a pot first."
"Han, I just saw them drilling holes in wood to light a fire," Natalie whispered. "If you have extra lighters, I'll give you some."
"No problem, I brought a lot of lighters." Li Han still had some lighters in his backpack and luggage, and there was room for a few large boxes, and a few of them had hundreds of disposable lighters.
While Li Han was lighting the fire, the tribe chief sent some women to pick fruits. "Thank you very much. This is a little gadget. I should treat it as a gift in return." Li Han handed the lighter to Uwaru. Uwaru told the clan leader what Li Han had said and taught the clan leader how to use the lighter.
"Wow wow wow."
After the clan leader learned how to make a lighter, he screamed with excitement and held the lighter as if he was holding the most sacred object.
The clan leader left, and Li Han put the kettle on, planning to make tea or coffee, but before the water boiled, the Ula tribe came back again. "A gift for me?" Li Han, a little confused, took it.
"This is?"
Li Han was shocked, no way.
"Han, what?"
Natalie muttered, what a fuss.
"Look."
"ah."
Natalie exclaimed in surprise. "It looks like a diamond to me."
"It should be right, at least twenty carats." Li Han weighed it. This was a diamond that hadn't been polished yet, but even so, it was worth a lot of money.
The Ula tribe gestured and shouted loudly, Uwaru translated, this is the largest magical stone that the Ula tribe picked up during hunting, and gave it as a gift to Li Han's generous guest.
Natalie was speechless, Li Han, this is called generosity, brother, you are so generous, you give away big diamonds as you say, you are too willful.
Li Han originally wanted to return the diamond to Ulazu, but when he saw that Li Han wanted to return the magical shining stone to himself, he became angry. Well, Li Han had no choice but to accept the gift in return.
"Such a big diamond, Han, if you use it to propose marriage, I don't know who else would refuse." Natalie looked at Li Han with envy. Who doesn't want a big diamond?
"hehe."
Li Han smiled and put away the diamonds. Natalie reminded him that Li Han was really interested. He went back to find someone to help with it. Originally, the space diamonds were purer. Unfortunately, after the space upgrade, all the broken diamonds were synthesized. The little space sun is gone.
Li Han couldn't, so he knocked off a piece. He originally planned to buy a piece of diamond and make an engagement ring, but now he had a lot of money left.
"Go back and contact the Mosquito Net Association to donate more mosquito nets. The Ula tribe will send some other materials over here." Li Han thought to himself as the water in the kettle bubbled.
"I'll make coffee."
Natalie said, holding the coffee can.
"Be careful."
Li Han was a little worried. "Don't burn it."
"Pandora, the little guys, what have you been doing out for a long time?" Li Han asked, taking Natalie's cup of coffee.
"Ah, I almost forgot."
Natalie slapped her forehead. "Pandora and the others are going to see a coming-of-age ceremony."
"A coming-of-age ceremony?"
Li Han muttered. "what,"
A strange color flashed in Natalie's eyes. "It turns out that when the children of the Ula ethnic group reach about 15 years old, they have to hold an "adult ceremony." After the adult ceremony, they join the ranks of adults and go hunting together. The boy's coming-of-age ceremony involves the father turning over the child's skin to perform a symbolic circumcision. A girl's coming of age is taught by her mother about sex. Only young men and women who have held a coming-of-age ceremony have the right to marry.
After hearing this, Li Han was speechless and smiled bitterly. "Pandora comes back and makes sure I don't spank her little butt."
"Hahaha." Natalie was happy when she saw Li Han's angry look. "Han, Pandora and the others just went to join in the fun and didn't go to the hut."
"That's good."
"Oh, I came back to see you."
Li Han heard the voices of several villains and stood up immediately.
"Dudu, you are back, come in quickly, close the mosquito net, are there mosquitoes outside?" Li Han and several villains were brought into the house, joking about the coming-of-age ceremony, which children can see and hear.
"It's okay, Dudu has this." The villain raised his little hand and made a bracelet with herbs on his wrist. "Mosquitoes don't dare to come near."
"That's good, hehe. Tell dad what's going on at such a conference."
Li Han still felt uneasy about the little guys.
"Hehe, Brother Bago and one of his sisters are going to live in a small hut today." Dudu said.
"cottage?"
Li Han was confused as to what a hut was.
"Uwalu, do you know what a hut is?" Li Han turned to ask Uwalu, this guy should know better.
"Dad, Dudu knows that if you live in a small hut and you get married, you can have a baby." Dudu said with a proud look on his face, Dudu knew all about it.
Li Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Little Guitou, older than he is, knows a lot. In fact, the small hut is really interesting. There is a simple house on the edge of the central wide land. If the adult man and woman fall in love, Choosing a certain day to go into a simple house called a big night house, have a tryst, and make clouds and rain, then the wedding ceremony of the Ula tribe will be completed. The tribe will bless them, and they will become a bunch of couples.
This hut has become a sacred place for the Ula people, and married men and women are not allowed to enter it. Li Han really didn't expect that the Ula tribe not only eats and buries, but also has such a common custom that a couple will be born in the hut tomorrow.
"Get up early tomorrow and we'll prepare something for the newcomers."
Li Han said with a smile. "It's a thank you to Urazu for the gift."
The little Dudu guys nodded their heads when they heard it was fun.
