It is permissible, for example, for a daughter to wear her father’s clothes or a son to wear his mother’s clothes.
However, if two Boru of opposite sex who are not related by blood mix their clothing, they will be judged by the Boru.
Those who mix their clothing will be considered deviants and punished, unless the two non-family members swiftly become family.
In simpler terms, this means getting the Boru man and woman to marry.
The tribe will not only refrain from blaming them but will bless them…
Ado wanted to tell Ye Tian all this but realized when she was about to speak that Ye Tian was not a Boru tribesman, and therefore, there was no need to hold him to Boru standards.
Silent throughout the journey, Ado led Ye Tian to the Boru tribe!
The Boru could hardly believe their eyes when they saw Ado, who had gone out to gather herbs, return with a stranger.
From the stranger’s attire, he seemed to be from outside the Primeval Forest.
Who exactly was he?
When the people saw that Ado’s waist was wrapped with clothes from the stranger, they were utterly astonished.
Could it be that Ado had already been with this stranger…
Seeing the peculiar looks from the tribespeople, Ado quickly explained, “Everyone, this is Ye Tian, my friend.
He saved my life while I was gathering herbs!”
Seeing the empty state of the herb basket Ado carried, the tribespeople could tell something had happened.
In this forest full of dangers, venturing alone was indeed risky.
There were quite a few Boru tribespeople who had ventured into the forest because of hunger, only to be eaten by wild beasts.
Although the tribespeople despised the beasts, as of now, humans were not the match for animals in this Primeval Forest!
“Greetings, everyone!”
Ye Tian said cheerfully.
His use of the Boru language immediately endeared him further to the tribespeople.
“You speak our language?
Could it be that you are also one of our tribespeople?”
“You do not look like one of us, but since you speak our language, we will consider you a friend!”
“Ye Tian, thank you for saving our clan member!”
…
The Boru tribespeople warmly welcomed Ye Tian, who smiled and conversed amicably with them.
Soon, an elderly man with white hair approached Ye Tian.
“Guest, we Boru people have long resided deep in the forest and rarely receive visitors.
However, this does not mean we are inhospitable.
Please, feel at ease and rest in our tribe!”
The elder’s speech was filled with dignity.
Ado quickly explained to Ye Tian, “Ye Tian, this is our Clan Leader, Abula!”
“Clan Leader, hello, I am very thankful that you have taken me in!”
Ye Tian responded with a smile, and Abula smiled back, saying, “There’s no need for thanks, guest.
You saved Ado’s life, and you are her benefactor as well as a benefactor to all of us Boru.
You are welcome to stay in our tribe as long as you like!”
Clan Leader Abula appeared very hospitable, and Ye Tian engaged in a conversation with him.
The Clan Leader inquired where Ye Tian had learned the Boru language, and Ye Tian did not conceal it, directly saying, “Clan Leader, I not only know the Boru language, but I also know that in the southern part of this country, there are more Boru people living there.
They are more populous than this tribe, speak the same language, and have the same customs and culture as you.
I learned the Boru language from them!”
Upon hearing Ye Tian’s words, Abula initially felt surprised, then was moved to tears.
“So, it means that we Boru are not just us here…”
In fact, Abula and his people had lived in this Primeval Forest for hundreds of years.
Throughout this lengthy period, the Boru tribespeople had kept to themselves, rarely interacting with outside ethnic groups.
The Boru tribespeople had thought they were the only Boru left in the world, but surprisingly, more lived in the southern part of the country.
It was like finding out that far away, there were family members one never knew existed.
The emotional impact was beyond words!
“My people!
This friend named Ye Tian has brought us vital news!
It turns out, our Boru people are far from extinct.
In the south of our country, there are many more Boru people!
May the gods bless our Boru tribe!”
Abula declared loudly to all the tribespeople, who became jubilant.
Nothing was more joyful than knowing that one’s ethnic group would continue to thrive and prosper!
Both Clan Leader Abula and the other tribespeople were very pleased.
Thus, the Boru tribespeople unanimously decided to light a bonfire and sing and dance!
Ye Tian became an esteemed guest of the Boru tribe and was treated with warm hospitality.
The Boru people placed floral wreaths on him and seated him in the place of highest honor.
The bonfire was soon blazing, shooting high into the sky.
The bright flames lit up the pitch-black Primeval Forest as if it were daylight.
Two young Boru women were seated next to Ye Tian and offered him delicious fruit.
“Ye Tian, you are our Boru clan’s most honored guest.
Please eat these delicacies and let us express our most sincere feelings to you!”
Abula kept urging him, but the fruits of the Boru clan, all harvested from the forest, tasted mediocre.
Ye Tianxin thought this was probably because the tastes of the Boru people and the Han people were different?
As for the two young girls that clan leader Abula arranged to dine with him, although they should be considered fine specimens in the tribe, they were far from beauties and were even less attractive than Ado.
Looking at the two young girls beside him and then at Ado, who had already returned to her dwelling and changed into new clothes and skirts, she looked especially enchanting under the glow of the fire!
“Please allow me to dedicate a song to our friend from the Boru clan, Ye Tian!”
A young man of the Boru clan approached Ye Tian, and Abula quickly explained, “Ye Tian, this is the tribe’s best singer.
He wants to use the most beautiful song to express his feelings for you!”
“…”
Ye Tian smiled and was noncommittal.
The Boru clan singer then began to sing out loud.
The people of the Boru clan all cheered, seemingly agreeing with the singer’s voice, but Ye Tian found it extremely grating.
The song didn’t sound like a folk song or rock music, and the tune was quite odd—overall, it was unpleasant!
However, the other members of the Boru clan seemed to think they were hearing a heavenly sound, and it was then that Ye Tian realized that the cultural customs of the Boru clan were quite different from those he acknowledged.
Ye Tian wanted to cover his ears, but then he thought that doing so might be too disrespectful to their culture.
So, he could only listen silently, wishing fervently that the Boru clan’s singing king would finish soon…
“Honored guest, please try the tribe’s delicacy!”
As Ye Tian was enduring the Boru clan singer’s voice, the young girl who was accompanying him to eat had already handed him a piece of roasted meat.
“What kind of meat is this?” Ye Tian asked.
“This is wild boar meat.”
“Wild boar meat, that must be very delicious!”
Ye Tian really liked wild boar meat.
In the past, he often lived in the jungle for periods, and the most delicious thing was naturally the taste of roasted wild boar—hundreds of times better than pork bought in a supermarket.
Moreover, Ye Tian was also skilled in cooking; roasted wild boar was the tastiest, both fragrant and tender, offering a lingering taste.
Having a particular fondness for roasted wild boar, Ye Tian was still full of anticipation when the Boru clan girl brought the roasted wild boar to him.
However, after taking a bite, Ye Tian’s action froze…
“…”
The piece of wild boar meat, although it appeared roasted, was only charred on the surface; the inside was completely raw!
Even if the flavor of wild boar meat was excellent, it was inedible if not properly cooked.
It affected not just the taste but also couldn’t eliminate the bacteria and parasites in the meat.
“Honored guest, is the wild boar meat delicious?”
The girl by his side asked with blinking eyes, and Ye Tian knew this was still considered a shocking traditional culinary practice—to the Boru people, the undercooked wild boar meat might be a delicacy, but for Ye Tian, it was difficult to swallow.
“It’s delicious!”
Ye Tian’s face immediately showed a pained expression.
Not wanting to disappoint the people of the Boru clan, he had no choice but to bravely swallow this undercooked roasted wild boar meat, but as he did so, he felt like crying.
As Ye Tian was eating the wild boar meat, the Boru clan’s loud-singing young man finally finished his song—but it seemed he had no intention of stopping…
“This is the first song I dedicated to our guest, and the next one is my second song!”
Ye Tian was speechless at once—did this kid ever stop?
Just as the Boru clan’s singer was about to continue singing, a voice suddenly entered everyone’s ears—
“Awww~~~~~~~~~~”
It was the roar of a beast; the faces of the Boru people changed dramatically upon hearing it.
“It, it’s the devil coming!”
“It really is the devil’s voice!”
