Chapter 221: Murals
"Something to show me?" Di Wenchang was slightly stunned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing to be afraid of, so he nodded.
When the native leader saw him nodding, he shouted happily and hurried ahead to lead the way.
Di Wenchang followed the natives into the depths, and soon, after walking for less than ten minutes, a small tribe could be seen in the distance, with at least hundreds of thatched huts, located on a small hillside.
Someone is slaughtering prey, someone is washing things, and it looks harmonious.
Everywhere he walked and met a new native, the other would look at him with curiosity, but after the native's leader scolded him and said a few words, those people would become respectful.
The indigenous chief took him to a house on the highest part of the hill, which was not a thatched house, but a mud-brick house.
Di Wenchang was surprised, the construction level of this house did not seem to be low, but why was there only such a mud brick house.
The indigenous leader didn't say much, but led him inside, the room was quite large, and when he walked in, he saw at least three wooden doors, all of which were rooms.
In the middle, there is a very delicate wooden door, and the indigenous leader lights a torch and opens it.
After entering, Di Wenchang found that it was actually a cave inside, very dry, and there were some carvings on the stone wall of the cave, which were very rough, but something could be roughly seen.
The indigenous leader began to babble, and the woman translated on the side.
The woman said: "The leader said that many years ago, the previous patriarch found a way to avoid the attack of the strange bee, and before he died, he explained some things, for the development of the tribe, the next patriarch must be a person who can really bring changes to the tribe, such as this person must be able to defeat the strange bee, can find an absolutely safe living environment for the tribe, etc. ”
After Di Wenchang heard this, he was relieved, it turned out that it was requested by the previous patriarch!
But at the same time, I also have some doubts in my heart, a tribe has not had a patriarch for a long time, isn't it easy to cause disagreements?
As soon as he said this to the woman, she translated it to the chief, who in turn whispered.
"The leader said that our tribe is very united, and before the patriarch is elected, there will be a leader who will lead the entire tribe as the acting patriarch, so there is no need to worry about the unity of the tribe."
Di Wenchang suddenly nodded and said, "It seems that this tribe is not an ordinary unity." ”
Next, the indigenous chief led him to see the carvings on the stone wall.
At the beginning, the scene is a scene of some natives and a group of strange bees, and the two sides are fighting to the death, and many natives die.
Until one day, a wise old man found a way.
Using animal feces and some herbs, he synthesized a mixture that allowed the tribesmen to recover from the attack of giant bees.
For this reason, this wise native old man was chosen to be the one above the chief, and from then on, the tribe had a patriarch.
Seeing this, Di Wenchang asked with some curiosity: "Since you have a way to avoid the attack of the giant bee, why are you so afraid when you encounter the giant bee?" ”
This time, the woman did not ask the indigenous leader again, but replied herself: "The special anti-bee mud is not guaranteed to be effective every time, and there have been several times when the tribesmen have been attacked after applying the anti-bee mud, and, for some reason, the effect of the anti-bee mud is getting smaller and smaller." ”
Speaking of this, the woman's expression was a little depressed.
Hearing this, Di Wenchang was silent, it seems that the giant bee should have evolved, but he doesn't know what kind of animal feces it is, so it will have this effect.
It is likely that more and more people are dying in this tribe because of the giant bees, so the indigenous leaders will be so shocked when they see that he can command the giant bees, and even immediately respect him as the patriarch.
He didn't know if the indigenous chiefs were innocent by nature, or if they did it for the sake of the survival of the race, but he could understand it either way.
At this time, the indigenous leader said a few words to him, and the woman translated: "The leader said, I ask you to become the patriarch of this tribe and lead the people out of this predicament." ”
Hearing this, Di Wenchang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly saw that at the end of the mural, an extremely magnificent building was carved, but he stopped by the ghost.
His expression shook suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the jade wrench in his hand, and the legend about Treasure Island.
He was thinking that this jade wrench was probably obtained from a certain civilization, and the building carved behind the mural was most likely that civilization.
Thinking of this, I suddenly had an idea in my heart, since this island is so weird, ordinary people can't enter it at all, it is better to use this place as another base, and at the same time, you can slowly explore that civilization.
In the future, if we develop some high-tech tools that are not affected by magnetic fields, wouldn't it be possible to develop this place into another rear?
After a few days of walking, he found that the island was much larger than he had imagined, and the environment was much better than that of Palento.
If that's the case, it's not impossible to be this inexplicable patriarch.
In this way, it is justified to arrange for this group of natives to do things for themselves, as long as their safety is ensured and the race can continue.
Thinking of this, he said to the woman, "You tell him that I need to think again, that I will stay here for a few days for the time being, and that I can ensure that this tribe is not threatened by giant bees during this time." ”
He didn't say yes right away, let alone refuse.
This question is actually not small, because once you become the patriarch, it is equivalent to taking a responsibility, and all aspects must be taken into account.
He needed time to weigh up.
The woman said: "The chief said, there are three rooms here, each room is clean, it was originally the place where the previous patriarch lived, only people of noble status can live here, you can live here first." ”
"Tell him, thank you for his hospitality." Di Wenchang nodded and agreed.
After the woman translated, the indigenous leader saluted respectfully, and before leaving, he said a few words to the woman, but somehow, the woman's face suddenly turned red, and Di Wenchang was inexplicable for a while.
The native leader was gone, but the woman remained.
He was curious about what the native leader had just said to the woman, so he asked, "What did your chief say to you just now?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the woman's face turned even redder, lowered her head, and shook her head desperately, as if she had something unspeakable.
Di Wenchang has been a king for so long, and he still has the ability to observe words and feelings, and he immediately guessed a rough idea based on the woman's reaction.
It is likely that the indigenous leader ordered the woman to stay with him or something.
Smiled, and did not debunk.
"By the way, I don't know what your name is." In order to avoid embarrassment, Di Wenchang changed the topic, there was an indigenous leader just now, and he didn't want to ask anything more.
"I ...... My English name is Erin. "The woman doesn't look very old and is a little shy.
"So you're an American? Or the British? How did you get here? Di Wenchang has always been curious about this.
It stands to reason that if you are an outsider, it will definitely be difficult to integrate into the indigenous tribe.
These traditional tribes are still very racial, unless they are strong like him, and they have the so-called 'handwritten oracle' of the previous patriarch, they will be more easily accepted.
Erin seemed to be asked a sad question, and suddenly, the shyness on her face disappeared, she became very lost, and the tears the size of beans began to fall continuously.
"That...... You say slowly, is there anything unspeakable, if it is inconvenient to say, you don't need to say it. Although Di Wenchang was very curious about Erin's identity, he still couldn't bear to be persecuted.
Erin sobbed and said, "I'm ...... I can tell you...... But please don't hurt me......"
"......" Di Wenchang was speechless, and said in his heart, do I look like a bad person?
Looking at the sobbing Erin, he could only try to be calm, because it was about whether he could ask for something from Erin.
