Chapter 427: The Sluggish Qin Xiusheng
Mo Tong's words not only did not make Qin Xiusheng think clearly, but made him even more confused. No matter what he thought, he still couldn't figure out what kind of anger Mo Tong had with himself. He thought about it for a long time, and from the time the two of them set off to the time they arrived in southern Xinjiang, every detail was carefully recalled, but he still didn't find any clues.
Suddenly, Qin Xiusheng had a flash of inspiration, he patted his thigh vigorously, and said in Mo Tong's ear, "I finally understood! It turns out that you are blaming me for setting the forest on fire in order to deal with the hornets. I regret this too, but you have to be considerate of me, if you don't do that, I'm afraid the two of us will have been stung into two corpses by the wasp by now. ”
Originally, I thought that Qin Xiusheng had suddenly opened his mind, and Mo Tong's face turned red unconsciously. The elders on the side also nodded secretly, secretly thinking in their hearts that even elm pimples would always have a day of enlightenment. However, when the two of them heard Qin Xiusheng's blurted out words, they almost spit out a mouthful of old blood at that time. The two of them complained in their hearts at the same time, what was in Qin Xiusheng's mind?
The two of them gave Qin Xiusheng a roll of his eyes at the same time, Mo Tong didn't speak, and the elder couldn't help but speak, "I beg you to use your brain, you can't guess such a simple idea, I really don't know what to say about you." ”
Faced with the decline of the elders, Qin Xiusheng secretly cried out for himself in his heart. His heart was full of helplessness, he had obviously tried very hard to recall, but he still had to be sneered at by the two.
Qin Xiusheng sighed helplessly, he knew very well in his heart that he was not the opponent of these two women. In desperation, Qin Xiusheng had no choice but to change his strategy, no longer dwell on this matter, and hurriedly changed the topic.
Qin Xiusheng glanced at the elder and asked, "Elder, it's time for you to tell us the story." ”
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, the elder reverted to a serious expression. He nodded slightly, and told the two of them about the dusty history.
Once upon a time, there were no villages in this land surrounded by forests, but a large tribe.
From the very beginning of its existence, this tribe has always believed in a snake-like monster as a totem.
According to the records handed down from the tribe, the snake is pitch-black all over, and although it looks like a snake from a distance, it is completely different when viewed up close. It has a tail like a cow, eyes like an eagle, and horns on its forehead that are very similar to those of the legendary unicorn.
Although the black serpent is regarded as a god of worship by the people of the tribe, they are not as docile as people think. The black monster snake has a very fierce temperament. All living creatures they find, whether human or otherwise, are treated as food by them.
In the beginning, although the people of the tribe had discovered the ferocity of these strange snakes, they regarded them as the patron saints of the tribe even more. The people of the tribe never actively come into contact with the black snakes, but if someone touches them, they will not run away, waiting to be swallowed by them and become a delicacy.
Despite this, the villagers were not afraid. In their eyes, being the food of the gods in their faith is something they can't hope for.
When the elder's story was told here, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help frowning.
"This is also ridiculous, they are obviously strange snakes that eat people, and they still have to be offered as gods. A flash of anger flashed in Qin Xiusheng's eyes, he usually hated people who desecrated their lives the most, "It's even proud to be their food, no wonder this tribe will eventually perish." ”
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, the elder's face showed a touch of complicated emotions. It can be seen that he is not disgusted by Qin Xiusheng's statement, and he vaguely agrees. However, as an elder of the tribe, he could not say such words directly. After all, as an elder of the village, there were some things that he really couldn't say easily.
Qin Xiusheng sighed helplessly, he gave the elder an apologetic look, and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt your story." ”
The elder chuckled, waved his hand, signaled Qin Xiusheng not to care, and then continued to tell the story of the tribe.
This state of affairs went on for a long time, and it was not broken until the appearance of a person. She is a shrine maiden in the tribe and is responsible for conveying divine instructions to the members of the tribe.
In the past, the shrine maidens kept the members of the tribe as far away from the strange snakes as possible, so as to protect the lives of the tribe members. But this newly appointed shrine maiden overturned the words of the other shrine maidens before her in one fell swoop.
"God says it needs you, and every day two young girls are to be chosen from the tribe to be God's servants. ”
That's what the shrine maiden said, and the members of the tribe didn't doubt her claim. In this way, every day, two young and beautiful girls were selected from the tribe and sent to the cave where the snake lived. Of course, they were not going to be servants, but were treated as a good meal and were swallowed in their stomachs mercilessly.
Hearing this, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but clench his fists hard. However, he forcibly resisted the urge to severely criticize the shrine maiden in the story, and did not interrupt the elder's story.
When the elder saw that Qin Xiusheng wanted to speak and stopped, she also sighed secretly. The elder and Qin Xiusheng thought the same, but he couldn't say it.
As the days passed, there were fewer and fewer young women in the tribe. Finally, it was the turn of a girl named Kia to be a sacrifice to the black snake.
This girl named Kia is said to have been out of phase when she was born, and a dazzling golden light descended from the sky, bathing the newborn Kia in golden light.
At that time, the shrine maiden was still the previous one, and when she saw Kia born bathed in golden light, she asserted that she was definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe this girl can change the whole tribe.
The shrine maiden attaches great importance to Kia and has always cultivated her as the successor of the next shrine maiden. But God didn't fulfill people's wishes.,Before Kiya grew up to be old enough to pick up people.,The former witch was attacked by a strange snake and died.。
Because Kiya was not old enough, the members of the tribe decided to nominate this witch to take the position. Officially, because of this decision, the entire tribe was completely reduced to the slaughterhouse of the black monster snake. Seeing Kia grow day by day, the shrine maiden feared that she would threaten her position, and finally decided to choose her as a sacrifice for the black monster snake.
