76: Chapter 75 The aning of the Silver Belt 76: Chapter 75 The aning of the Silver Belt Even young and strong hunters dared not hunt cheetahs, let alone a little girl like iduo.
Wang Dadong was already dead!
Lin Shiyan sat down powerlessly on the ground, suddenly recalling last night when she had complinted how pretty the Purple Mulberry Flower on Zhuoma’s head looked.
Zhuoma had said if she liked it, she would pick one for her.
Could it be that she really had to wear a Purple Mulberry Flower like Zhuoma now?
She was Wang Dadong’s wife, and if Wang Dadong was dead, according to Zhuanghu customs, she too needed to wear a Purple Mulberry Flower on her head.
“Even if he is dead, I must retrieve his remains!” Moso also decided to go back and look for Wang Dadong.
“Brother Moso, don’t be impulsive.
Wait until
all the hunters from the village have returned, then we can all go look for Brother Zhaxi together,” Qiangba interjected.
Although cheetahs are formidable, if it’s a team of hunters, there still might be a possibility of overcoming one.
“By that ti, even the bones of Brother Zhaxi won’t be left,” Moso said, his face flushing red.
“Damn, I leave for just a few minutes, and you guys start bad-mouthing behind my back?”
At that mont, a lazy voice ca from afar.
When everyone turned to look, who else could be speaking if not Wang Dadong?
At that mont, Wang Dadong’s clothes were tattered and he looked extrely disheveled.
However, shockingly, not only had Wang Dadong returned, but he was also carrying a huge cheetah on his shoulder!
Wang Dadong hadn’t died, and he had killed the cheetah!
“Brother Zhaxi, you’re okay, that’s great.” iduo, like a joyful bird, flung herself into Wang Dadong’s arms.
This left the Female CEO, who had been ready to give Wang Dadong a hug, frozen in place.
Not just iduo, a look of joy appeared on everyone’s faces.
Especially Moso, after all, it was to save him that Wang Dadong had been pounced on by the cheetah.
Now that Wang Dadong was back safe, he was happier than anyone.
Only one person viewed Wang Dadong with an unusual gaze.
That person was Zhuoma.
According to Zhuanghu customs, Zhuoma’s man had died challenging a cheetah and to commorate his courage, Zhuoma had to marry a man capable of killing a cheetah.
Zhuoma had thought that, in this world, there simply wasn’t a man who could kill a cheetah.
But unexpectedly, soone had done it.
This gave Zhuoma the possibility of marrying again, it was just unfortunate that Wang Dadong had already accepted iduo’s silver belt.
“Brother Zhaxi, you actually killed the cheetah, you are truly a brave warrior.”
“I think Brother Zhaxi is the bravest warrior in Hasa Village.”
“It’s just luck, just luck,” Wang Dadong said with a sheepish smile.
Since Wang Dadong’s clothes were torn, iduo brought Hazha’s clothes for him to change into.
“Brother Zhaxi, can you tell how you killed the cheetah?”
iduo, like a happy little bird, was flitting around Wang Dadong.
“Actually, it’s only because this cheetah was too stupid, it killed itself by running headfirst into a tree,” Wang Dadong said with a laugh.
“I don’t believe it.”
“Well, at that ti, I summon my energy to my Dantian, flexed my arms, and used a move from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, then I killed the cheetah.”
“Nonsense, Brother Zhaxi is a big liar!”
…
In the evening, Zhuanghu was at its liveliest, everyone dancing around the bonfire.
This ti, even the Female CEO let loose and joined the dance with everyone else.
The story of Wang Dadong killing a cheetah with his bare hands had spread throughout the village, and since the Zhuanghu people respected warriors, everyone, young and old, held Wang Dadong in high regard.
Even a girl wanted to give Wang Dadong a silver belt.
“Brother Zhaxi already accepted my silver belt, you can’t give him another one.” Whenever a girl tried to do so, iduo would rush over and stop her.
This made Wang Dadong curious, so he asked iduo, “iduo, why can’t others give it if iduo has given a silver belt?”
While dancing and holding Wang Dadong’s hand, iduo happily explained, “Because Brother Zhaxi accepted iduo’s silver belt, he is now iduo’s man, so they can’t give Brother Zhaxi a silver belt anymore.”
Wang Dadong was stunned, “iduo, you’re not joking, are you?”
iduo replied very seriously, “iduo is not joking, Brother Zhaxi accepted iduo’s silver belt and even gave a dagger to iduo, which ans Brother Zhaxi accepted iduo’s courtship.”
Wang Dadong felt his brain was having trouble processing this.
What did gift-giving have to do with courtship?
“In our Zhuanghu, when a girl gives a man a silver belt, it ans she fancies him.
If the man does not reciprocate, he will refuse the girl’s silver belt.
If the man also fancies the girl, he will give sothing personal to the girl.
Brother Zhaxi, didn’t you know?” a Zhuanghu explained.
Wang Dadong was dumbfounded, had he known earlier, he would have never dared to accept iduo’s silver belt.
At the ti, he thought he should not just accept a gift without giving sothing in return, so he gave a dagger he used before to iduo.
Thinking about it now, personal items for Zhuanghu people were generally things like knives or daggers.
This was a big misunderstanding, Wang Dadong looked painfully at Lin Shiyan, who was dancing with the Zhuanghu girls.
The Female CEO gave him a look that said, you got yourself into this, you solve it.
Watching iduo, who held his hand and danced innocently and joyfully, Wang Dadong felt sowhat overwheld.
No wonder iduo was so kind to him, she had already considered him her man.
The surrounding Zhuanghu girls glanced at iduo with envy.
In Zhuanghu, assessing a man’s character wasn’t based on his looks or wealth, but on his bravery.
The braver the man, the more likely he was to attract girls.
And being able to kill a cheetah barehanded definitely made one the bravest of warriors.
Although he really didn’t want to hurt iduo, Wang Dadong felt it necessary to make things clear, as he was already married.
“iduo, can I give the silver belt back to you?”
“Of course you can!” iduo happily answered.
For so reason, hearing iduo agree so readily to him returning the silver belt made Wang Dadong sowhat displeased, but he also finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If iduo insisted on him marrying her, that would have been troubleso.
“But iduo isn’t at the age for marriage yet?” iduo suddenly blushed as she spoke.
Wang Dadong was confused again, “iduo, do you understand what I’m saying?
I said I want to give the silver belt back to you.”
iduo’s expression grew even shyer, she nodded with a flushed face, “I know, Brother Zhaxi is going to marry iduo, and when iduo is of age, she will marry Brother Zhaxi.”
It turns out that in Zhuanghu, returning a silver belt to a girl ans you’re ready to marry her!
