Chapter 177
In these two days, Hua Yuye selected a tribe as the starting preparation to find it according to the advice given by the bar girl Akasha, although she did not understand the girl's intentions at the time, but when she returned to the hotel afterwards, Hua Yuye still took the tribe that the girl focused on as the first destination, and she would pass through another tribe on the way to choose the route, and Hua Yuye also went to try her luck on the way.
This time, Hua Yuye had the support of 'god' on his body, and when he found the first tribe through the map, Hua Yuye seemed to have a voice in his heart telling him that this was not the tribe he was looking for, although he couldn't understand what the reason was, but it was better to follow this voice, and the first tribe gave up without results.
And today Hua Yuye came to a tribe again, this is the first target in Hua Yuye's plan, judging from the map, after passing through this forest, there is a small valley in front, and this time the target is in the valley.
Snakes, insects, rats and ants are inevitable in the forest, as for the predators that mainly eat meat, there are also predators, Hua Yuye relies on what he has learned in the past to avoid contact with them as much as possible, of course, it is still necessary to carry self-defense items with him for safety.
Along the way, I trekked through mountains and rivers and enjoyed some natural scenery.
Coming to the place close to the mouth of the valley, listening to the sound of running water in the distance, and observing the surrounding environment, Hua Yuye had a feeling of being spied on, and several reconnaissances that pretended not to care did not find anything abnormal, but Hua Yuye believed in his own feelings, and with the increase in the amount of 'qi', Hua Yuye became more and more convinced of this sensitivity.
'Whoosh'
The sound of an arrow rubbing against the air landed about a meter in front of Hua Yuye, and the approximate position of the archer can be obtained from the analysis of the whole arrow being inserted diagonally on the ground, and the strength used by the archer can be roughly seen from the depth of the arrow shaft into the dirt, and of course, it also needs to see how the bow performs.
"Get out, outsider*" the male voice was heard, but no one was heard.
Hua Yuye looked in the direction where the voice came from, and could vaguely see a shadow hidden behind the tree, and I don't know how many natives were hiding in the dark and watching her.
Listening to what the natives were saying, Hua Yuye couldn't understand it at all, although Hua Yuye had mastered a few foreign languages, it was impossible to learn the indigenous tribal language, and he could only judge from the other party's tone that it was not a welcome word.
"I'm an explorer, with no ill will, and I stumbled into this place by accident*"
Hua Yuye expressed his goodwill in lingua franca, as for whether he could achieve his goal, it is unknown, the two sides talked about the same chickens and ducks, but this time the approaching tribe did not have the obvious feeling before, Hua Yuye guessed that this was probably the tribe of the 'gods'.
Put his hands on his sides, indicating that he has no malicious intentions, but his right hand deliberately did not stay away from his body, if there is really any accident, Hua Yuye will not be polite to the opposite, protecting himself is the top priority.
"Get out, outsider*" was the same voice as before.
The other party also couldn't understand Hua Yuye's words, and seeing that Hua Yuye did not have the intention of leaving, he repeated it again, accompanied by another arrow, which was a more serious warning.
Thinking of what the girl in the bar said, I didn't expect the tribe to be so xenophobic, and even getting close was not allowed, Hua Yuye couldn't think of any good way to communicate with the other party for a while, at this moment, in order to show that there was no malice, he put his hands in the other party's field of vision, and rashly went to take the 'god' object I don't know if it will make the other party misunderstand, and it will be a big loss to be killed by mistake.
When the two sides were at a stalemate for a short time, they only heard that many people in the distance were running towards here, shouting something loudly, but Hua Yuye still didn't understand.
Soon, I saw seven or eight people running here in the distance, the anxious expression was shown on his face, and there was a trace of excitement and joy, the man hiding behind the tree also walked out from behind the tree after hearing the shouts of the people who ran, looking at this outsider with a shocked expression on his face, all of which was seen by Hua Yuye.
The leader was an old man, running fast, not at all like an old man of the grade, the clothes on his body were more decent than the young man who appeared behind the tree, and after running to Hua Yuye, he knelt on the ground with his hands above his head and bowed to the ground.
In the face of the threat of the enemy's archery, Hua Yuye was still able to calmly not take a step back, but seeing the old man suddenly kneeling down Hua Yuye took a small step back in shock, wanting to avoid it sideways, thinking about it or forgetting it, Hua Yuye would not pretend to be amorous and think that the target of the other party's kneeling was herself, listening to the words in the other party's mouth that she didn't understand at all, it seemed that this was it.
The old man is the shaman of this tribe, one of the only people in the tribe who can communicate with the 'god', the person who is most compatible with the 'divine power', and one of the people with a very high status in the tribe.
Seeing that the people who followed the old man were kneeling in front of him, Hua Yuye did not stand still stupidly, but took off the backpack behind him, and took out the silk cloth under the expectant gaze of everyone, showing the 'god' object inside.
The moment they saw the 'god' thing appear, everyone was prostrate on the ground again, Hua Yuye wanted to fool the other party with some bad intentions, but considering that the current situation might be burned by them as blasphemy.
The old man led by him crawled forward, carefully took the 'god' object in Hua Yuye's hand, held it high above the top and shouted loudly, and everyone present except Hua Yuye shouted along.
The old man got up and came to Hua Yuye's side, took Hua Yuye's hand and raised it and said something in his mouth, because the other party had no malice Hua Yuye did not resist, it should be to express the meaning of tribal friendship, but it is really difficult to communicate, and it can only be expressed by body movements, and I really don't understand what the other party means without a little comprehension.
After everything was over, Hua Yuye followed them and was taken to the tribe, and on the way, they were surrounded and protected in the middle like important VIPs, and everyone looked at Hua Yuye with gratitude and kindness.
Walking on the tribal path, the women and children in the tribe stand on both sides as if watching the streets, unlike most men who are surrounded by animal skins, women and children only use very little fabric to cover some hidden parts, and even some children are naked**, boys and girls can know at a glance.
The houses here are made of trees and dead grass and the like, and at most they are protected from rain, and it seems that even a slightly stronger wind can cause a devastating blow to the tribe, and the original style is full of feeling.
The center of the tribe is an altar-like earth and stone building, more than three meters of totem poles stand behind the stone altar, follow the old man all the way to the center of the whole tribe, all the men who are still in the tribe come here, women and children stand far away, the stronger the men stand closer to the altar, Hua Yuye stands in the first row and is a little ahead.
The old man held the 'god' object in both hands, slowly but firmly walked his feet, step by step, as if he was being pressed by a heavy object and moving forward under great pressure, and his eyes looked at the 'god' object in his hand without squinting.
Coming to the center of the altar, there is a stone platform, about a meter, the stone is carved with many patterns, and the hideous beast looks similar to the totem pole behind, giving Hua Yuye a sense of throne.
The young man standing at the four corners of the altar lit the brazier, and everyone cheered loudly, and the old man wept with joy.
After the ceremony, Hua Yuye was taken by the old man to a wooden house behind the altar, the room was full of bottles and cans, the ground was covered with animal skins, there was a small wooden table on the innermost platform made of mud, there were no chairs or anything like that, and a place was vacant in a corner of the wooden house, and there was a piece of animal skin like a bed on the ground, Hua Yuye guessed that it might be a place for the old man to sleep and rest.
At the same time, the people of the tribes outside are preparing for the celebration of the return of the 'gods'.
