Chapter 49: Pilgrimage Rituals
"Damn. ”
I looked at the broken vines on the ground and cursed.
The wild man ran away.
There was the sound of footsteps behind me, followed by Fang Ran's voice.
"The wild man ran away, do we have to prepare for more writing, in case it ......?"
In case something happened, Fang Ran didn't finish it, but I knew very well what she didn't say.
She was worried that the wild man had come here with his people, and that we would be in danger.
When we built the house, in order not to be trapped to death, we chose a double intersection location.
It was clear that the wild man had run from another intersection.
"I'll chase you, and you pay attention to it. ”
With that, I ran towards another intersection.
Just a few steps away, I heard Zhang Jiayi's angry voice sounding behind me.
"Yang Zhi, you are sick!
The wild man ran and ran, chasing what to chase. ”
I ignored her words and chased after her.
Behind him, except for Zhang Jiayi's scolding, there was no other sound.
I reacted quickly, and I didn't chase very far, when I saw a somewhat stumbling figure, it was the wild man.
I yelled, "Stop." ”
When the wild man heard the sound, his body shook, but he continued to run.
After all, the other party was injured before, and he was not well at all at this time, and he couldn't run fast if he wanted to, and he was caught by me if he didn't run.
I stood in front of the wildling, and the axe in my hand was pointed at the wildling.
"If you run again, don't blame me for being rude. ”
When the wild man saw the axe, a look of fear crossed his face, but he didn't give up and ran away, and ran around me to run somewhere else.
I stood in front of the wildlings again, and spoke again as a warning.
"I said, don't run, or I'm welcome. ”
As I spoke, I swung my axe at him without really doing anything.
I used to kill people because others wanted their own lives, either he died or I died, and I had to do it as a last resort.
And this time, this savage has no intention of killing himself at first glance.
After all, it is a person who survives in a society governed by the rule of law, and there will still be a psychological shadow in killing people.
"Ahh
The wild man probably saw that I would not let him go easily, and screamed twice with an anxious face.
The hand was constantly gesturing, pointing to the sky, to himself, and then to the direction of leaving.
I was momentarily bewildered by his movements, and only frowned at him.
I didn't understand, and I seemed to be even more anxious, and I knelt on the ground with a 'poof', my hands still gesturing.
"You ......" I was kneeling by him, and I was directly stunned in place, this is good, why did I kneel down suddenly?
The expression on the savage's face was distorted, and he pointed to the sky again, and said a vague word, "Saint." ”
"Huh?"
Because of the poor communication, I didn't know which word the savage was talking about, and I kept wondering in my heart, "God, saint, or left?"
While pondering, the wild man moved again, and he said 'sacred' in his mouth, and the man also knelt on the ground with Akagi, and made a standard worship posture to the sky.
"Worship God?"
I uttered these two words word by word, but I didn't seem to be right, and the wild man shook his head vigorously, his hand still pointing to the sun in the sky.
It was evening and the sun was setting.
When I look at the sunset, I think of the opposite sunrise.
'Chao' is a polyphonic character, one is 'zhao' for the first sound, and the other is for 'chao' to pronounce the second sound.
Thinking of this, a word popped into my head, "Pilgrimage?"
As soon as this word came out, the wild man nodded at me again and again, and continued the comparison just now, occasionally saying a few indistinct words.
Just like that, you compare and guess me, I guessed the matter, and I couldn't help but get nervous.
It must be impossible to let the wild man go back, so I was so angry in my heart that I put my axe on the wild man's neck, and dragged the wild man back despite his call.
As soon as I walked near the house, I saw Fang Ran looking in the direction of this side with an anxious expression.
"How's it going, it's not hurt, is it?"
Fang Ran ran up to me in a few steps and asked me about my situation.
Lin Ke'er looked at me with a worried face and looked me up and down.
And Zhang Jiayi just glanced at me, snorted and turned back to the house.
I shook my head, "I'm fine, you can help me find more vines, this time I have to tie him tighter." ”
Fang Ran nodded and left, and Lin Ke'er stood beside me and looked at the wild man with a wary expression.
With Fang Ran's help, we tied the wild man tightly, gagged him with a towel and threw him in the corner.
"Yang Zhi, I see that your face is wrong, what's wrong?"
Fang Ran deserves to be the president, and I can guess that something is wrong just by my face, and I admire it in my heart.
I sat down cross-legged and pointed to the position next to me, waiting for them to sit down before I could tell my guess.
"Let me state first, this is just my speculation, so I'm just going to say it and let's discuss it. ”
Fang Ran and Lin Ke'er just nodded and didn't say anything.
And Zhang Jiayi snorted, "If you have anything to say, just say it, what time is wasted?"
"The tribe of the savages, who worship the sun, they have a pilgrimage ritual.
My guess is that the wild man ran because he wanted to go back on a pilgrimage. ”
Hearing me say this, Zhang Jiayi said with a mocking face.
"Heh, run back to the pilgrimage, what does this have to do with us, and you want to take it out of your way?
If I have this time, I might as well go get something to eat. ”
After Zhang Jiayi finished speaking, she was about to get up and leave, but was pulled by Fang Ran, "Let's listen to Yang Zhi first." ”
"Listen to yourselves, I'm hungry. ”
Zhang Jiayi disdainfully shook off the hand held by Fang Ran, and stood up and left directly.
Lin Keer opened her mouth to say something, I shook my head at her, and Lin Keer didn't persuade anymore.
I spoke again.
"The snake meat we didn't bring back yesterday, and the corpses of the two savages, are gone.
I feared that it was his people who took the snake meat and corpses away. ”
"What? Isn't that likely to happen to us?"
Lin Ke'er screamed suddenly, her voice full of horror.
In the next second, Zhang Jiayi's disdainful voice came.
"Lin Keer, what are you afraid of?
We have eaten snake meat now, and our strength has increased.
Isn't that one in the house also caught by us, are you still afraid of the other savages?"
I glanced outward, and a breath of depression held in my chest.
This Zhang Jiayi is really brainless.
Those savages are the natives of this place, and they eat snake meat all year round, and their strength must be greater than ours.
If he hadn't been injured in the room, how could we have caught it?
I resisted the urge to scold her, took a deep breath, and looked at Fang Ran and Lin Ke'er.
"I think we need to prepare early, in case his people come to him.
We won't be caught off guard either. ”
Fang Ran nodded at me after I spoke.
"Well, then let's make more traps and find another place to hide, if we are defeated, there is a way out. ”
