As Hu Yin's mood became worse and worse, and Zhu Yuanyuan's patience gradually ran out, the River Valley tribe finally ushered in a grand coming-of-age ceremony.
This year, there are a total of 43 females and 78 males in the tribe. The ratio may seem uncoordinated, but it is actually very rare.
You must know that among these one hundred people, at least 90% are rabbit orcs.
In other words, in the past, there were only a few protagonists in the coming-of-age ceremony held by the tribe every year, and sometimes there was no need to hold it because there were no big cubs who were about to turn eighteen that year.
On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, Zhu Yuanyuan put on a red fox fur dress that her mother had helped sew, and wore homemade black versatile high-heeled cowhide boots. .
These high-heeled shoes can only be worn in tribes with relatively flat roads. It is absolutely impossible to wear them into the woods. It can be considered that Zhu Yuanyuan was dissatisfied with her height and tried to make them. The heels are sharpened wood.
In the previous life, a girl who was over 1.7 meters tall would have been considered good, but in the orc world, if she was less than 1.8 meters tall, she would be considered short.
For example, in the Ganghe clan, Zhu Yuanduan attracted much attention because of his title as the only disciple of the great witch. When he met strangers on the road, he gave each other a smile as a greeting. The moment he missed someone, he was always pointed out.
"Look, it's her. She's shorter than most females. She's a little witch."
Yes, the most important feature everyone identifies her with is her height.
Sometimes Zhu Yuanyuan wants to yell, "I'm not an adult yet, and I still have room to grow taller, but I'm afraid that Yuan Yuan won't come back if I blow my mind."
She has wasted a lot of knowledge points over the years on exchanging pure milk and goat milk powder. As for the effect...
Alas, just don’t say it.
After getting dressed, Zhu Yuanyuan looked at the beautiful scenery that had been lifted up a section. She felt happy and ran out, hoping to let her family appreciate her tall and handsome appearance. However, she accidentally stepped on a gravel and fell flat on her face. .
The small nose was the first to make contact with the ground, and after the sting, a stream of heat surged out.
"Damn, it's a nosebleed," Zhu Yuanyuan responded quickly, "I won't be disfigured, right?"
If I attend the coming-of-age ceremony with a face full of scratches and bruises, I'm afraid I will become a joke to the whole tribe.
By the way, you have to wash your face quickly and treat the wound. There is tea seed oil in the space, which has a good effect in removing blood stasis and reducing swelling. Apply more and it may make your face look better.
"Yuanyuan, hurry up," Zhu Xiaofen urged from the main room, "If you wait any longer, the wizard will leave."
The great witch is the person responsible for presiding over the coming-of-age ceremony, so what would it be like to go there later than him?
"Just come," Zhu Yuanyuan kept moving her hands and responded loudly, "it's still early, don't be anxious, Mom."
If her current appearance was seen by her mother-in-law, she would probably strongly object to her continuing to wear high heels.
She was just not used to it before and didn't notice the stones under her feet, so something unexpected happened. She would be more careful later and would never make the same mistake again.
Under Zhu Xiaofen's continuous urging, Zhu Yuanyuan finally cleaned up her face so that others could see it. For this reason, she even used concealer, trying her best to prevent the wound from being seen.
Fortunately, her nose was only severely injured and there were not many scratches and bruises on her face, otherwise she would not be able to see anyone.
Zhu Xiaofen, who had been urging for a long time to call the person out, frowned and said, "You stinky bastard, you don't know how to get up early and clean yourself up. If you are late, everyone will think you are too busy and disrespectful to the witch and the leader."
"I didn't," Zhu Yuanyuan defended, "It's just that there was a small problem just now. If you keep nagging me, I'll really miss you~"
Zhu Xiaofen thought the same thing, and hurriedly took her unreliable son out, walking in a hurry towards the square where they usually gather.
The river valley tribes were merged and moved here last year, and the infrastructure was not fully built. There was only a simple platform built of stone and repaired with red bricks in the square. It was now decorated with flowers and green grass, which was quite unique.
The leader, Bai Dan, arrived earlier and was directing everyone to place a large stone pot in the center of the stone platform. Under the platform, there were several beasts with intact fur, more air coming out and less air coming in.
Zhu Yuanyuan wrinkled subconsciously.
Nose, murmured in a low voice, "Stereotyped habits are unacceptable!"
"What are you talking about?" Zhu Xiaofen turned around and asked.
"It's nothing," Zhu Yuanyuan said with a smile, "I just think Shitai is dressed up beautifully by everyone."
Zhu Xiaofen was doubtful, but had no intention of going into the details. She changed her subject and said, "There are still flowers and leaves that have not yet been inserted. You should go and help. Don't be lazy here."
She will be a big female when she reaches adulthood, so she can't be known as lazy.
"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan responded obediently, "I'll go right away."
She was used to being busy and interjecting was not a tiring job, so she certainly wouldn't refuse.
Zhu Yuanyuan naturally joined the work team. She would greet people she met warmly and quickly became involved with her friends.
While joking, a little female from the Flying Tiger tribe who usually loves to show off her height couldn't help but ask, "Yuanyuan, when did you grow up to be as tall as me?"
Another little female from the black pig clan suddenly said, "It's true. Just saying there's something weird about it, it turns out she's taller than me."
"No way, we competed before the snow season last year, and Yuanyuan was the shortest one," the rabbit tribe had to bite their fingers, "Our only advantage is gone, woohoo~"
Zhu Yuanyuan was quite speechless, "Just chat, why are you discussing my height?"
The key is that she hasn't grown much taller. She can be taller than most little females only because of the shoes on her feet.
But can this be said?
Yes, but she doesn't want to. High heels are her last stubbornness.
However, there is always a shortage of smart people, and soon someone discovered Zhu Yuanyuan's secret.
"Yuanyuan, your shoes seem different from ours," Bai Man said. "The heels seem to be much higher. Isn't it uncomfortable to wear them like this?"
After receiving the hint, everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Yuanyuan's feet, or shoes to be precise.
"It's really different. The back part of the shoe is so high," the lively man couldn't help but beg, "Can you let me try it on? I promise it won't be damaged."
Zhu Yuanyuan firmly refused, "No, you can't wear other people's shoes randomly, you may get athlete's foot."
"What is athlete's foot?" Bai Man pointedly grasped the key point.
Although the others did not agree, they looked at Zhu Yuanyuan eagerly, waiting for the answer.
"Athlete's foot is..." Zhu Yuanyuan scratched her head in distress, "My feet are itchy, and I can't help but want to scratch them, but the more I scratch, the more itchy I am, and I can even scratch the skin. If you have athlete's foot, it will be contagious to others wearing her shoes." superior."
Emma, today is such a happy day, why should she answer such an embarrassing question.
"Infection means the same thing as transmission," Bai Man said thoughtfully, "You explained it very clearly, could it be..."
Suspicious little eyes rolled around someone's feet.
"I'm not, I didn't," Zhu Yuanyuan denied, "You are not allowed to make blind guesses, or I will beat you."
Bai Man pouted, "I just said that, why are you so excited!"
"Of course I am afraid that you will throw dirty water," Zhu Yuanyuan responded fiercely.
She has not forgotten how hostile Bai Man was towards her when they first met, and even if it softened later, they still could not turn enemies into friends.
