Chapter 60: The Protagonist of Hunting (1)
The Plunder Festival.
A great festival was held in the village of Balak.
In fact, every day is a celebration for the Balak, but on a day like today, when meat is plentiful, it's unusually loud.
When the vines are cut, clear water pours out and pools in a large stone pot.
Into the boiling water were thrown lobsters, freshwater crabs, zaras, turtles, carp, catfish, venison, rabbit, squirrel, snake meat, caterpillars, beetles, ants, frogs, lizards, water grass, berries, mushrooms, and tree roots.
A huge stone pot bubbled in the center of the village.
All the small game that Balak's hunters have gathered is thrown into it, simmering into a rich broth.
Everyone in the village gets a fair share of the broth.
Larger prey, such as deer and boar, were roasted separately around the stone fire.
Everyone would gather around these large hunks of meat, singing and dancing merrily.
In the midst of all the noise and excitement, it was a huge hunk of meat in the center of the village, even bigger than the stone oven, that caught everyone's attention the most.
