At present, the calendar passed by the Eastern Romans to the Baltic Sea region through the ancient northern trade route is still very accurate, so Veria can very accurately determine from which day the sun will disappear for a long time, and how long it will take for the sun to disappear. Return to the earth.
Villa even learned a little bit of astronomy knowledge mastered by Eastern Rome, which made her, an ancient and old man, full of curiosity and respect for the unknown southerners.
And the knowledge gained is so profound, she regrets that the young people of the tribe dismissed her, and even more distressed about the successor Bona she cultivated, and did not have much curiosity for those "Roman knowledge".
Perhaps, all my worries will be broken by the leader's son, Ruriek, a rare child who desires knowledge.
On the night before the dawn, all the tribesmen partyed all night, drinking and singing, to welcome the new sun and the beginning of a new year.
The tribal group wedding was too lively, and quite a few families drank more than half of their stocked wines this night!
This year's Hanukkah is destined to lack drinks.
After a complicated ceremony, the newly married Arik and Peravina put on thick fur coats again. According to tradition, the groom's immediate family members must personally **** the couple back to their new house. Usually, it is the bridegroom's biological father as a witness to prove that the newlyweds did indeed return to their homes and stayed there until dawn the next day.
Arik's home is not far from Otto's. After Otto sent his nephew, he didn't want to leave for a long time, so he wandered outside the house. Knowing that he heard those sounds, his strained face finally laughed.
In this way, Arik has become an adult from any angle. Peravina, who married far away from Novgorod, became a woman completely.
A new day is another cold start. Today's sun rises late, and the atmosphere in Roseburg is rather fiery.
Early in the morning, Otto put on a loose fur coat, and his close friends also gathered.
Lurik rubbed his sleepy eyes, wondering what the people outside were clamoring.
"Dad! Are you going out with those people? Is it rowing?!"
"No! I'm going to see your brother and sister."
"Ah. Then I'll go see it too?" Rurik got up cleverly.
"Alright." Otto beckoned his son to come out immediately after having something to eat, and then he instructed: "I have to go to another family to see, I have to make certain things."
"Is it about something after the wedding?"
"You are so smart." Otto rubbed his son's head with satisfaction, and signaled his wife Niya: "You don't want to go, hurry up and sew the clothes. Arik and his wife need it very much."
Niya watched her husband holding his son's little hand, and more than a dozen people following him. She watched quietly for a while, and then returned to the warm house contentedly, and with the maid who came to help temporarily, hurry up to make new animal skins.
The newly made clothes are given to the newly married Arik family. From an emotional point of view, Niya has long regarded Arik as his own son.
If his former son hadn't died accidentally, then he should be at Arik's age.
Liu Likla held his father's hand, he still couldn't know exactly what his father was going to determine.
When the group arrived at Arik's house, there were already some children watching the excitement at the door.
Lurik did not hesitate to find a familiar figure.
"Ah! Kanuf, what are you going to see at my brother's house?"
Kanuf hurried over: "Hey, of course I am waiting for you!"
"You should wait for me on the hillside. It's probably because of my sister's beauty?" Rurik said casually, and then he saw that his father had driven away the miscellaneous people.
Otto commanded loudly: "Arik, you and your wife are coming out, let me make sure!"
After a while, the animal skin door curtain of the confinement was pulled open.
Arik looked very energetic, and he took his embarrassed wife's hand and walked out.
Indeed, Peravina's image has changed a lot from before. Rurik widened his eyes and saw his sister-in-law put on a braid again, fully understanding the symbol of the braid.
Arik deliberately pushed his wife in front of his uncle, completely pretentious.
Otto smiled: "I know it, you guys finished it yesterday."
"Yes! When the weather turns cold next year, I will be my father." As he said, Arik didn't forget to rub Rurik's face. He naively thought that his brother didn't understand anything. "Rurik, do you know? Next winter, you will also be an uncle."
"Yes! I understand." Rurik said calmly, "I hope, that's a boy. We need more warriors, don't we?"
A child said very pragmatic words, and everyone watching was amused. I am afraid that at this moment, Otto's heart is more about his son's emotion. A seven-year-old child actually fully understands the significance of the tribe's fighting men to the entire tribe.
Peravina even felt the change in the atmosphere at this moment. She lowered her head shyly, looked at her husband's brother, and stroked her belly: "I really hope to be a boy. If I can, I like more Boy."
"Hey, at least there must be a beautiful girl like you." Arik took the opportunity to coax his wife, and the atmosphere became more cheerful.
The Ross tribe will always need more people, whether male or female! They lacked the opportunity to rob the population by barbaric means from outside, so they simply began to use peaceful means this year to ask for the marriage of girls from other ethnic groups, and in this way raise more people of their own ethnic group.
Pelavina, this girl has completely agreed with her new identity, Otto definitely speaks the truth, she is to be the heroic mother of the tribe.
At this point, Otto said to Peravina in a fatherly deep tone: "You are a beautiful girl, and the members of the White Tree Village you once belonged to are also a group of smart people. You will become a great mother, I sincerely Thank you for that."
"Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Chief." Peravina looked very flattered, but all the blows felt that the praise for her was appropriate.
Otto nodded: "Life with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about anything. You are not the dealer who leaves your girl forever. In the fall of next year, we will go to your girl routinely. At that time, you and your children I will visit the members of the White Tree Village and see your parents again."
Hearing this, Peravina's dark blue eyes couldn't help but tears.
She used to simply think that following the departure of the Varangas is a farewell to her hometown, now the leader promises with honor that she still has the opportunity to visit relatives!
She began to look forward to the future. First of all, she needs to prove her great value-giving birth to healthy children, no matter boys or girls.
For this goal, it seems that I can live a long leisure life reasonably?
It seems that the women of the Ross tribe are good at preparing meals and sewing clothes in the warm long house. If that were the case, it would be simple.
In the far home of Novgorod, a girl like Peravina had to go to the barren land with her family~www.mtlnovel.com~ to cultivate and plant seeds with a simple wooden plow, and always lived through hardships and Poor life. Her native family was a very ordinary family of Baishu dealers. They were so poor that they had no money to buy even bronze tools from the blacksmiths, and ironware was the treasure of the family chiefs of the dealers.
Any metal utensils are precious things. As a result, she married Roseburg of Varange. She had to accept the fact that people here already used metal utensils on a large scale.
The fjord settlements of the tribe always emit black smoke. What is that?
Husband answered his curiosity, that is, the blacksmith was burning the ore to smelt copper, and even used more complicated methods to burn stone to smelt iron. Although smelting metal is hard work, the benefits are very large, they are not tired of it, and even to smelt metal, large-scale logging to make charcoal!
There are even some destiny here. The Swedes, the current tribal alliance of the Mind-Humans, have particularly high-quality iron ore in their living area. They use these ore to smelt them to arm themselves and enrich their lives.
The people of Roseburg are one of them, so ironware is not a luxury in their lives.
Although the current Peravina is no better than ploughing the land, her diet and recipes will lack wheat, but will be full of fish, and she will completely become a Varang.
She is also very clever to realize that she must be completely dependent on her husband, and this is also part of the life of the Varanga, and it is also the universal fate of Varanga women. But no one wants to change all of this, just because no one thinks there is anything to change.
Even the blacksmith gate of the tribe is too lazy to upgrade the smelting and forging process because everything is sufficient.
Because of the life of Roseburg, under the leadership of Otto for more than ten years, it is indeed still changing for the better.
