Chapter 204: Tribal Feud
"It all started when my great-grandfather died!"
William's face darkened, and I felt that this matter was not easy, so I found a chair and sat down.
Presumably Elsa was used to hearing these stories, but she was very bored and turned to enter the room.
And I held my cheek raiser and listened carefully to William's speech.
......
The matter should be traced back to when the two tribes were first established, and it was precisely because of the incident that happened at that time that the two tribes that had a feud deepened their grudge.
After Tony Smith had everyone jump into the water and escape, Tony Sr., the captain and a few sailors were left on the ghost ship.
Naturally, Tony and the sailors fought fiercely with the pirates, but Tony and the others resisted to the death, and in the end they were outnumbered and forced by the pirates to the island of Cizhong.
If I'm not mistaken, Tony and the others must have abandoned the ship and lived on Cizhong Island for a while.
Because the previous tree hole is proof.
How could such a large tree form such a perfect tree hole if it was not processed by people?
This is more indicative of Tony and the pirates that they didn't die on board after the battle.
Only the captain was killed on the ship.
It's the same skeleton we met on the ghost ship earlier.
Tony's life on Cizhong Island did not escape the pursuit of the pirates, and William's tone was filled with a deep hatred for the Bahai tribe, and he must have been caught and killed by the pirates in the end.
And what happened after that William knew very well.
After all, his great-grandfather was still alive at that time, and these things were naturally passed down from generation to generation.
But I don't believe it all.
After all, one person says one thing.
Just like two people living together, the woman was wronged and returned to her parents' house, which does not mean that it is all the man's fault.
After all, that's just the woman's side of the story.
So did what William said.
After William's great-grandfather took the group to Bantu Island, despair naturally swept through their minds for the first time.
But in order to survive, for the sake of his dead father and relatives, William's great-grandfather had to brace himself and lead his people to survive!
It was also at this time that the remnants of the pirates also came to the island.
I'm not sure if the pirates who were on the island are still alive.
But judging from the six months we've lived on Cizhong Island, the pirates who hunted down Tony Smith are probably gone.
But I don't know exactly where.
Let's go back to Bantu Island.
After the remaining pirate forces arrived on Bantu Island, they must have made a living first.
In the end, of course, there was a great struggle with the remnants of William's great-grandfather, and in the end, they suffered heavy casualties, and finally everyone finally calmed down and established their own tribe.
This is also the reason for the formation of the Bantu tribe and the Bahai tribe.
I was thinking to myself, those pirates back then couldn't be the elders of Eric's last few generations, right?
But if you think about it, it's not.
After all, the descendants of those pirates also stayed on the island in the end and did not choose to return to the city, so they are certainly not Eric's ancestors.
In this way, the two tribes developed steadily.
And the waterwheel mentioned earlier was also exchanged for them when they used to trade with the Bahai tribe, and their Bantu tribe had not been established for too long at that time, so they were extremely short of supplies.
Two tribes that already have feuds, naturally no one is happy to look at anyone.
But the pirates and William's ancestors were different.
Just like Jibo and Eric before him.
They are accustomed to the leisurely life of stretching out their hands for clothes and opening their mouths for food, after all, as pirates at sea, they only need to compare the barrel of a gun and scare those passing ships to get what they want.
It can be said that it is a no-brainer.
At that time, they were on a desert island, and for them who didn't know anything, William's great-grandfather had a big advantage.
Because they've traveled the globe.
Nature knows how to survive.
So in this way, the two tribes began to trade.
The Bantu tribe has a strong ability to survive, and naturally there will be no shortage of food and drink.
But they have a fatal flaw, which is that I know everything, but I don't have all the tools.
It's like a good woman can't cook without rice.
But on the contrary, the Bahai tribe is very resourceful.
They burned and plundered a lot of passing ships back then, so naturally there were a lot of useful supplies.
So the two tribes simply called, although they were unhappy to look at each other in their hearts, but in order to survive, there was no way.
I think it's like the way I had with Jibo and Eric.
I can do anything, but with few tools.
At that time, Jibo and Eric could be said to have all the tools, but they didn't understand anything.
What an amazing coincidence of history!
William smiled wryly and said that in order to survive, there was harmony between the two tribes for a long time.
After all, the people on Smith's boat came to escape the war.
So surviving on this desert island makes them happy, after all, floating on the sea is never as good as on land.
It's still such a peaceful and peaceful island.
Just when William's great-grandfather thought it was good to live quietly like this, something happened.
Right!
The Bahai tribe is starting to look for trouble......
People are ambitious.
If I can get rid of you, I will naturally choose to get rid of you.
After all, I have all the resources now, and I have learned how to survive in the wild, so if I snatch your Bantu tribe now, our Bahai tribe will be stronger!
However, this is only William's one-sided analysis, and I don't know if it's true or not.
At that time, the Bahai tribe did give the Bantu tribe a lot of tools, and the Bantu tribe also taught the Bahai tribe the rules of survival.
And it was because of that big waterwheel that the contradiction between the two tribes, which had a relatively relaxed relationship, was stimulated to the highest point.
The Bahai tribe was electrified very early, which also made William's great-grandfather very envious.
And the leader of the sea seized this and ...... William's great-grandfather directly
Killed.
William's great-grandfather once wanted to exchange the electricity of the Bahai tribe, but the leader of the Bahai never agreed, until one day he finally led everyone to the Bantu tribe.
The purpose was to exchange electricity with William's great-grandfather.
The pile of rags in the waterwheel and the power supply room were all exchanged for more than twenty sheep by William's great-grandfather, but the sinister and cunning Bahai tribe did not make a fair deal.
Instead, he gave these things to William's great-grandfather.
When the power station was built, the waterwheel was not strong in the first place, and finally it collapsed during the installation.
And this collapse happened to buckle William's great-grandfather under the large waterwheel.
And after that, for the sake of everyone's safety, the waterwheel was never moved again.
That's what I'm seeing now, stuck in that place, eroded by the years.
No wonder when I went to the power room, there was a large layer of dust in the room.
Presumably due to the fact that no one has been in there for many years.
This matter has naturally become a pimple in the hearts of every Bantu tribesman.
Now the waterwheel has become crumbling, and naturally no one cares about it.
That is the evidence that the Bahai tribe secretly bullied the Bantu tribe back then!
This huge conspiracy made the two tribes of Bantu and Bahai fight against each other again, and the old and new accounts are counted together.
The result is today's situation.
I sighed after listening to it.
That's the way it is between people, once trust collapses, it's hard to live in peace anymore.
What's more, it's the Bantu tribe and the Bahai tribe that already have a deep hatred!
William's expression was very gloomy after speaking, and he didn't say anything more.
Looking out at the darkening sky, he motioned for me to rest, and he took the three women into their big room.
Aisha had already come out by this time, stood next to me and smiled slyly, and then hopped back to her room.
And I stayed at William Smith's house for the time being......
