This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 171 - 128 Getting Married_2

Jiang Xuan felt awkward, clearly it was Gou Teng’s marriage, so why did it involve him? Was it just because they were the same age?

But he didn’t want to settle down at fifteen!

Chi Shao smiled lightly without saying much; she respected every decision Jiang Xuan made.

Gou Teng, on the other hand, quickly found Fu Ling who was working in the field, and called her to a grove nearby.

"Why are you in such a rush to find me?"

Fu Ling was still panting heavily; working under the sun was very tiring, no easier than hunting.

There were strands of her black hair clinging to her cheek, wet with sweat.

Gou Teng looked directly into her eyes and said, "I have decided."

Hearing this, Fu Ling knew what it was about, and she grew nervous and apprehensive.

Fu Ling looked into Gou Teng’s eyes, awaiting his answer.

Gou Teng said seriously, "I want to start a family with you."

In an instant, Fu Ling’s face blossomed like a budding flower, gradually opening up, every eyelash was smiling.

"Gou Teng..."

Fu Ling hugged Gou Teng tightly, resting her head on his shoulder, feeling his surging heartbeat and warm body.

Gou Teng’s breathing became quicker; it was an experience unlike any he’d ever had—a very wonderful feeling.

Of course, Gou Teng didn’t forget the main matter.

"The chief says we should invite the Witch to host a ceremony for us, and the tribe’s people will all participate."

"We will be united in marriage, witnessed by the Vine God and all the members of the Vine Tribe."

Upon hearing these words, Fu Ling was incredulous: "Am I... am I dreaming?"

"Of course not, the chief also said the tribe will give us pottery, clothes, and food to celebrate our marriage."

Fu Ling hugged Gou Teng tightly, every word he said was something she never dared to hope for.

This happiness seemed to have descended from heaven, causing her to feel dizzy, as if she were on cloud nine.

After a long time, Fu Ling let go and said, "There’s still work to do in the field, I’ll go finish it."

Fu Ling felt the tribe was incredibly kind to them; she had nothing else to repay but to work harder and do more for the tribe.

Gou Teng watched her back, smiling.

Soon after, he shared the news with Shi Qiu, Nan Xing, and others.

Everyone congratulated Gou Teng.

On the morning of March 29th, Gou Teng and Fu Ling’s wedding ceremony officially began in front of the altar.

To create a better atmosphere, Jiang Xuan led people to gather a large amount of red flowers and placed them on both sides of the altar, making it very beautiful.

Some offerings were also placed on the altar for the Vine God to enjoy.

All members of the Vine Tribe came, gathering lively together.

Soon, Gou Teng and Fu Ling, dressed meticulously, walked to the altar, both excited, nervous, and full of anticipation.

"Come on everyone, quiet down, it’s about to start." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Jiang Xuan stood beside the altar and waved his hand, slowly quieting the crowd.

Chi Shao walked up the altar slowly, first chanting a spell to invite the gods and let the Vine God enjoy the offerings on the altar, then chanting a blessing spell.

This time, the Divine Vine specially lowered two intertwined vines and sprinkled some green liquid, which merged into the bodies of the two.

Gou Teng and Fu Ling felt a surge of vitality in them, making them even more radiant.

"Thank you, Vine God."

Chi Shao bowed in gratitude and then winked at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan immediately stepped forward and told everyone, "I’ve decided that from now on, every tribe member getting married should have a formal wedding ceremony, starting now with Gou Teng and Fu Ling!"

Jiang Xuan briefly explained to Gou Teng and Fu Ling how the ceremony should be, and they nodded nervously.

"Okay, let’s start the ceremony!"

Jiang Xuan loudly proclaimed, "First bow to heaven and earth!"

Gou Teng and Fu Ling, following Jiang Xuan’s instructions, bowed towards the sky.

The Vine Tribe members found the ceremony refreshing, and they noted the procedure, intending to do the same when it was their turn to marry.

Jiang Xuan continued, "Second bow to the Vine God!"

The two bowed to Stone Mountain; the Divine Vine on the mountain glowed slightly and its vines danced gently, clearly accepting the ceremony.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Gou Teng and Fu Ling bowed to each other—an extraordinarily novel and sacred experience.

"Send them to the bridal chamber!"

After Jiang Xuan finished, he joined everyone in merrily escorting the newlyweds to their residence.

Next up was the feast that everyone enjoyed.

With more food available now, Jiang Xuan had people cook more than usual, so everyone could eat happily and heartily.

Throughout the day, and for a long time afterward, the members of the Vine Tribe were keenly interested in this new marriage ceremony.

Many fantasized about having such a ceremony when they married.

Especially the more sentimental women, who already looked forward to their own wedding ceremonies.

The next day, Jiang Xuan saw Gou Teng again, noticing his somewhat awkward walking, and the slight dark circles under his eyes, yet his spirit was very good, sweeping away his previous lethargy.

He earnestly patted Gou Teng’s shoulder and said, "Young man, you must learn to exercise restraint."

Gou Teng blushed, not knowing how to respond.

But behind him, Fu Ling retorted boldly, "Chief, we should hurry up and have children, to increase the tribe’s population."

Jiang Xuan was left speechless, only able to watch as Gou Teng was pulled away by Fu Ling.

Of course, the two would still dutifully complete their tasks, even doing better than other tribe members.

Grateful to the tribe, they could only work harder, have more children, to repay the tribe.

As for Jiang Xuan, he returned gloomily to his yard, muttering, "Even if they need to have kids quickly, they should still have limits...

Nearby, Tang Yuan didn’t understand what he was saying, flapped its wings, and flew to the distant mountains and forests to hunt.

...

Before anyone realized, the hot summer arrived.

The Western Wilderness grew increasingly dry, with land turning to desert, while the Southern Wilderness saw frequent thunderstorms, leading to a flood threat.

"Boom!"

"Crash..."

The sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and torrential rain poured endlessly.

Jiang Xuan, wearing a raincoat woven from reed leaves, braved the rain and along with Gan Song and others, dug earth and stone, building dykes to prevent river water from flooding back into the creek.

"Everyone, put more effort, we can’t let our crops be washed away!"

In the Feiyu River, the water level kept rising rapidly, and the fields near the river showed signs of flooding.

This was precisely why Jiang Xuan led everyone to work tirelessly in the rain, hoping to block the river water and protect these crops.

This was one of the downsides of living by the river; while most fields wouldn’t flood, losing some could make the Vine Tribe members heartbroken.

After all, these crops were their hard work.

Thanks to over five hundred people’s efforts in the rain, a long dike soon appeared at the field’s edge, isolating the flooding river and creek water.

Fearing the river water would continue rising, they kept heightening and strengthening the dyke, working for the whole day.

By evening, the rain finally lessened, and when everyone returned to the settlement, exhausted, they could finally take off their soaked clothes and dry by the fire pit.

Luckily, the tribe members were used to getting wet, and their robust health meant they wouldn’t easily catch a cold or fever.

"Roar..."

Just as Jiang Xuan was about to cook some food, a shocking beast roar came from the Feiyu River.

This roar, like a dull thunder, was one he’d never heard before.

Jiang Xuan quickly ran out, standing on a boulder outside the bamboo forest, looking far away at the Feiyu River.

Two giant Water Beasts appeared on the river surface, partially above water but black and hard to make out.

But after these Water Beasts emerged, Jiang Xuan felt a chill, clearly indicating their strength far surpassed his.

"No wonder many tribes fear the water; it seems the dangers inside it are no less than those in the forest."

Fortunately, the two giant Water Beasts did not come ashore, and instead went downstream along the Feiyu River, disappearing from Jiang Xuan’s sight soon after.

Jiang Xuan returned to the house and cooked some food.

Due to the continuous rain, many bugs sought higher ground to avoid water. On the outer walls of Jiang Xuan’s house, many bugs climbed upward.

Jiang Xuan wasn’t bothered; he caught some edible large bugs and roasted them to eat—a little rainy-day treat.
