Preparation

They all sat on pine logs to become low benches surrounding a large campfire, there were three large skewers of bear meat brought to the center of the campfire and hung in turn, one skewer contained the meat of the arms and legs whose bones had been separated, then the second skewer was the meat of the body that had been cut into pieces and the innards that would be disposed of in the border forest river tomorrow. then the third skewer was the bear's brain, a white brain with a little blood red mesh around it, this mesh net was his pulse lump, and for the Wu tribe this could increase their intelligence and abilities similar to those in the forest, Then the third skewer is the bear's brain, a white brain with a bit of blood-red mesh around it, this mesh is the lump of its veins, and for the Wu tribe this can increase their intelligence and abilities in the forest similar to the innate abilities of the bear they will eat.

The smell of grilled meat that filled the center court made the men, women, and young people around it lustful, as they rarely ate meat other than river fish and beef and lamb.

"Hey Wu Liang, your sister isn't coming?"

"Eh, yeah, she said she was helping the aunts."

"You better ask sister Su Yan where's your sister, before the bear meat is cooked"

"Yeah, I will ask"

Wu Liang got up from his seat, and he turned around and walked out of the bonfire circle then met Su Yan who was on the other side of the circle.

"Sister Su Yan, have you seen my sister?"

"Eh, your sister was there, ahh yes, your sister said after helping us she went straight home, I thought she went home for a while and would come back again"

"oh yes, my sister has prepared dinner"

"After all, we are partying now, you better take your sister out"

"Alright thanks sister Su Yan"

Wu Liang turned around and walked quickly towards his house, seeing Wu Liang who walked in a hurry Ao Nan got up and approached Wu Liang, the twins Bei Zhang and Bei Zheng saw Ao Nan and felt strange, but they returned to their own fun and listened to the story of his father who was chatting with other uncles.

"Wu Liang wait, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see my sister"

"To be honest im with you, okay I'll go too"

"Why are you coming? The meat is about to be cooked, you better go and eat"

"Take it easy, my stomach isn't hungry yet"

"Whatever, Alright let's go"

The two of them walked quickly towards Wu Liang's house, after a few dozen steps they arrived at Wu Liang's doorstep.

"sister come in, Sister?!"

"ohh, little brother, why are you here? Aren't you gathering and eating?"

"It should be me the one who asked you, not you ask me"

"Yes, I know, right now I'm preparing food for Grandpa"

"Oh yeah, where's grandpa? How come you're nowhere to be seen, nor are some of the other elders?"

"Grandpa went straight to the elders' meeting hall, they were discussing something"

"Is there anything urgent more?"

"I don't know, you'd better go back to the pit fire, after this I'll join the gathering too"

"Alright, let's go Ao Nan"

Ao Nan who was outside could only watch the short conversation between the two, the two of them then went back and enjoyed a meal of bear meat, wheat bread, and milk mixed with honey, together with other branches of the family, it was clearly an atmosphere that clearly depicted the warmth of a large family, in a cold village field, wearing only a set of blue daily clothes and a set of warm clothes from sheep.

"Father, the meat is really good!"

"hahaha is it good? Let's have some more"

Wu Liang and Ao Nan sat back to their positions, and they also saw other families eating meat, bread, and some were still taking their share of the food.

"Ao Nan, Wu Liang this is your meat"

"Thank you father"

"Thank you uncle"

They said simultaneously.

"Eat a lot Wu Liang so that your wounds heal, oh yeah when you heal, let's you come practice using a spear with Ao Nan tomorrow morning"

"Of course uncle"

"Alright alright, I like your spirit, you too Ao Nan, eat a lot my son"

said uncle Ao Qi clearly and happily.

"Uncle, if we also eat a lot, can we join the spear?"

"Oh, Zhang and Zheng want to come and practice spear too?"

"Ng"

"You two better ask your father first."

"Hahahaha, it's okay Ao Qi, tomorrow I'll bring them to watch you all practice"

Uncle Bei Shen's permission was given to his two sons.

This night became a strange and lively night for Wu Liang, the heartbreaking incident then changed into a warm family atmosphere, Wu Liang was really happy, the Wu Tribe Family enjoyed the beginning of this night with a lot of fun and delicious food.

"It's unfortunate that he came at an inopportune time, his arrival is exactly the time to pray to the ancestors"

Said Huang Gu's grandfather

"Hmm his arrival after a hundred full moons is a blessing, how are we going to manage this?"

Replied Lin Xiong grandfather to Huang Gu

"Isn't this a big clue?"

Said grandpa Ming Qi.

"Oh.. Enlighten us old brother Ming"

asked Lin Xiong grandfather.

"Obviously, in our lifetime it is the first time someone from this era has this coincidence, obviously this is a hint from the ancestors to celebrate at once, my suggestion is what if we hold a party first, then do prayers at a later date, if you don't agree we can ask Wu Jin Fei for advice related to this coincidence"

Said Ming Qi grandfather's explanation clearly.

"Makes sense, brother Ming is indeed wise"

Huang Gu's grandfather said in praise.

"Hohoho, isn't it obvious?"

Everyone laughed lightly with voices slightly hoarse due to their old age, a medium-sized circular room, a room that only had a table in the center and four chairs on each side, a room without any other rooms, a room that only elders could enter and only those who were allowed to enter, a room that only relied on a bowl-shaped artifact with a small ball in the center.

This artifact is named the moon water light bowl, as the name suggests this artifact emits light according to the moonlight at night, if it is white then the light comes out white, if it is red then it comes out red, if it is full moon, then the light that comes out will be brighter than usual, this artifact is of the water type, because to activate it the elders must use water to release the light.

"Ahh this artifact is not long in coming, in the next few generations, this artifact will expire, how unfortunate"

said Lin Xiong's grandfather.

"What can we do, let alone the cost, we only know that it should be stored in water"

Shang Wei's grandmother complained.

"Yes, it is said that the ancestor found this by chance, even so, this artifact has accompanied Wu's children and grandchildren for thousands of full moons"

explained Huang Gu's grandfather.

"By the way, what about the temple preparations, have they been completed?"

Asked Ming Qi's grandfather to Shang Wei's grandmother.

"Ning Bing and his wife have cleaned and positioned the ancestral stone plaques and arranged new vegetation around the cave to make it more lively"

replied Shang Wei's grandmother.

"What about the preparations for Wu Jin Fei's arrival?"

asked Ming Qi's grandfather to Lin Xiong's grandfather.

"Everything is fine, it's just that I'm afraid he will get lost, considering that he hasn't returned for a long time, a hundred full moons have passed"

Lin Xiong grandfather replied readily

"Don't worry, the boy knows the forest like he knows himself, don't forget the fact that he often comes home at night and makes his parents worry because of playing in the forest"

Replied Huang Gu's grandfather while explaining

"Hohoho, you're right it's been a hundred full moons and you still remember, is it true you're old now Huang?"

"There is no point in discussing the past, if there is nothing to talk about anymore, I will leave, I don't want to waste the vitality of this artifact just to talk about such things"

explained Huang Gu's grandfather.

"Look at him, suddenly changed, be old but still changeable, I wonder why Huang Xie liked you back then"

Huang Gu's grandfather then approached Ming Qi's grandfather and pulled the collar, and looked annoyed at Ming Qi's grandfather's face, while shaking Ming Qi's grandfather's body.

"Hey, you two calm down, you two are old but still like to fight, it's better to finish it outside"

said Shang Wei's grandmother.

Shang Wei's grandmother tried to break them up, while Lin Xiong's grandfather just laughed lightly in his chair.

"Sit down first Huang Gu, hey Ming Qi don't do anything wrong"

Said Shang Wei's grandmother.

"You two are old but you have the energy to argue with each other, I am amazed"

Said Lin Xiong grandfather.

"If you still continue, then next full moon you two will not be distributed ceremonial clothes"

After saying that, the two slowly subsided and Huang Gu's grandfather sat back to his seat, while Ming Qi's grandfather fixed his collar.

"I have something to add, actually when I saw the hunting lodge's catch today, I thought that the bear Huang Gu caught with his group was a Nomadic bear"

Ming Qi grandfather said.

"I originally thought so too, but after a while we caught these two bears, we didn't find any signs of other bear groups, after this afternoon we caught it, we took it to the storage house, and there was no report from the hunting scout group"

Huang Gu's grandfather said

In addition, this artifact also provides a relief effect when drinking the water, can relieve the effects of burns, relieve the aches and pains of serious injuries, and can help people who are disabled to heal and return to their original state when drinking this water at full moon time.

These artifacts are few in number in the village, only branches of families with great contributions can be considered to have these artifacts, now in this gathering room, the light of these rays has turned dimly dim as their lifespan is about to reach its limit.
