48.chapter 48
"So, you gave them the bow and arrows of the Smelting City?"
Ohno slowly said his speculation, and Ono and the people around him were dumbfounded. They looked at the little girl in front of them, who didn't seem to have any lethal power, and they really couldn't see that she had anything to do with the kind of weapons that killed with one arrow and hurt people with arrows.
Sun Xiuqing lowered her head.
"I didn't give it, but I taught them. I taught them to do this to prevent flying beasts from attacking the city, and I brought these here to trade with the white-haired clan so that they could deal with the beasts that came to disturb the people...... Who knew they would be used in such a place......"
Sun Xiuqing said very weakly. In fact, she remembered that in the first video she showed Lie, those bows and arrows were not against jackals and beasts, but against the besieging humans, her favorite male protagonist and his companions.
In the dark, these have long been hinted at. Is it possible to give a weapon to a man and tell him not to kill?
Ohno took the arrow from Ono's hand, rested on the string, and pulled the bow suddenly, and the arrow flew out of the string and firmly pierced into the tree in the distance. The leaves fluttered, and Sun Xiuqing was also frightened when she saw it.
Ohno had seized the bow and arrows of the Smelting City, and it was obvious that this one in his hand was much more delicate and durable than those.
Satisfied, he lowered his bow and said, "Give us these." How much sea salt do you want, I'm sure they're willing to give it. ”
Sun Xiuqing instinctively shook her head: "No, knowing that you will use it for those things, I refuse this kind of transaction." ”
Ohno motioned to the people around him, picked up the bows and arrows scattered all over the place, put them back in the big cardboard box, and then carried them all away. Sun Xiuqing was a little annoyed, but she was angry, but she looked at it and had a weak heart.
"Is it reasonable that you gave the enemy weapons and refused to give them to us?"
Sun Xiuqing had nothing to say, she looked at Ma Yi, and Ma Yi obviously had no idea. After a while, she said: "This is a matter between them, you taught Lie how to make zuò bows and arrows, it is better to give these to the white-haired clan, both sides have helped, which is equivalent to not helping each other." After that, we don't care. ”
Before Sun Xiuqing could react, Daye interjected and said: "It's not okay if you don't help each other, maybe I should take you to see the villages and tribes that have been wiped out, the Baimao clan is a big clan, and they have suffered such a big loss, do you know how many tribes who are trying to survive in this land have disappeared into the sky like this?" ”
Ma Yi couldn't help but retort: "These are the evils committed by Lie, we gave him a tool for self-protection, but asked him to use them to kill people, how can we push the sin on us?" ”
Ohno said lightly: "Maybe I should take you to see those wounded, and then discuss whose sin it is." ”
Ohno took them to a remote courtyard that was crowded with patients with severe injuries. Sun Xiuqing couldn't bear to look closely, but no matter where she hid, she could see people moaning in pain. The Wu tribe who was invited by the white-haired tribe to examine the patient's injuries was sprinkled with a layer of black and black on the patient's wounds, and then danced in the courtyard to pray for blessings. No matter how many times you look at this treatment, you can't ignore it, after all, they also have their survival wisdom.
Sun Xiuqing looked at it for a while, and finally noticed that something was wrong.
Over the past year or so, he has treated many external injuries for the residents of the new city with lame and unsatisfactory medical skills. Generally speaking, whether it is a scratch, a bite, a fall, or this kind of weapon injury, it is generally blood, even if some people's blood is thick and some people's blood is thin, it will not be like the black blood that these people flow. There may be swelling and bruising at the wound, but this large area of purple spots and ecchymosis is obviously not right.
Sun Xiuqing selected a patient who was in a more strict condition, took a photo and sent it to his friend Dr. Zhao for verification. Sure enough, Dr. Zhao replied: It is not like a simple arrow wound, there are signs of poisoning.
Poison Arrow! Sun Xiuqing was sure that she had absolutely not taught anyone to do such a thing.
She told Ohno what she had found, and Ohno didn't quite understand the meaning of the poisoned arrow. Sun Xiuqing was anxious to prove her innocence, and she couldn't explain it clearly for a long time, so she simply picked up an arrow and wiped it on her hand with a sharp arrow.
Blood gushed out, startling several people around, and Ohno immediately clenched her wound to stop the bleeding, and said hurriedly: "What are you doing here?" ”
Sun Xiuqing pointed to the blood that came out of her and said, "Did you see it?" A normal arrow wound, the blood is this color, unlike him, after a while, there may be redness and swelling near my wound, but there will definitely be no such purple ecchymosis. They were poisoned by arrows, whether they were insects, snakes, or plants, and they were smeared on the arrows, so your companions were badly wounded. I said, there are only a dozen arrows, even if they made some later, but there are some processes that I didn't tell them clearly, how can they not make better arrows, how can there be so much lethality? Because they used poison! ”
Ohno finally understood. But she was quite speechless for explaining in this way, and the tighter she held her hand, Sun Xiuqing was about to cry bitterly. It was still Ma Yi who followed Sun Xiuqing during this time and knew the simple way to deal with this kind of trauma, so she tore off a strip of cloth from the bottom of her linen clothes and helped her tie up the wound, so that Sun Xiuqing could be freed from the hands of this strong man.
What I learned later was indeed consistent with their speculation. The toxicity of this poison is still quite strong, and many people have high fever, vomiting, and bleeding to death three to five days after being hit by the arrow. There are also people who have mild symptoms of poisoning, but they have been asleep since the poisoning, and it is rare to wake up, and they keep vomiting and moaning when they wake up.
When the witch man came, the situation was greatly relieved. Maybe the black substance he used was the antidote.
Fortunately, the people here already have a way to detoxify, otherwise she doesn't know any medical skills, and Dr. Zhao is far away from places that can't be reached at all, if you rely on them, you can solve the problem in the Year of the Monkey?
For some reason, after learning that the fiasco of these people was more due to poisoning, Sun Xiuqing's heart was a little more relaxed.
"If it is said that the Lie attacked the Baimao Clan for their salt, what did the attack on those small villages and small tribes for? That person's vision is so high, there is nothing that can be seen, why can't he be exchanged? ”
Ohno was also a little puzzled by this: "We still haven't figured out his intentions, but when he attacked those small villages and tribes, he didn't kill them, but just killed their patriarchs and other leaders, and captured all the other residents." ”
"Captive? What does he want so many people for? Sun Xiuqing is a little strange, in this era when survival is still very difficult, extra people are equivalent to more mouths to eat, and there is no certain economic ability, what are you going to do when you catch so many people back?
Is it possible to be captured and returned to be a slave? Originally, it was just a complaining thought, but once I thought about it, this thought lingered.
This era should be the era of transformation from a matrilineal society to a patrilineal society. In marginal areas like Treehouse Village, women still dominate society, but the men of the tribe are also starting to move out into the outside world. In cities of a certain size, such as Yezhu City, Guanlong City, and the Baimao Clan, men have dominated the position, and women are not particularly weak, but they are no longer respected as before.
But, at this stage, will there be a slave society? Sun Xiuqing always thinks that things are developing too fast? The changes recorded in the history books, which are often measured in hundreds of years, seem to be urged forward too quickly by an invisible hand in this era.
Is she even unwittingly involved in it? After all, a lot of things that should not appear at this time, because she, has appeared.
Sun Xiuqing remembered the cave a year ago, the projection equipment in the cave, Lie didn't come out for three days and three nights after entering, but after coming out, he looked excited and excited.
Did someone bewitch Lie? Is there someone pushing for this qiē to happen? And the person behind the scenes, is it related to the developer?
Ohno said: "I followed the captives, and they were not taken to the city of Metallurgy, but to the west, to another valley. There were people with whips and weapons to force the captives to work. They have been digging the mountain, and they have been staring at it for several days, but they can't see why they are digging the mountain, and they can't think of a good way to rescue these people, so they have to withdraw first. ”
Ohno's words seem to have verified some of Sun Xiuqing's guesses. Is it to dig mountains for mining, or to quarry? No matter what it was for, it wasn't like a person who could come up with it overnight. It must be the owner of that projector, tricking him into doing something?
"Did Lie say why he did that, why did he do that?"
"What can he say? By the way, he said that he was inspired by God, and God directed him to attack wherever his armies attacked. He said that every qiē is for the oracle! But the devil believed him, so why did God guide him alone? Besides, he said that the bow and arrow are also God's guidance, and today it turns out that you gave it, right? ”
Sun Xiuqing faintly felt that maybe Lie really thought that he was guided by God!
Who else can solve these mysteries but developers? She didn't plan to quarrel with the developers at this time in this place, but while chatting with Ohno and learning about the situation, she was already in her stomach.
What do you need to do to get developers to tell the truth? Was he instigated the war, and if not, did he know about it? She came to this era, is it the developer's plan? If so, what does he wish he could do? Does he think that she, Sun Xiuqing, will obediently obey orders and make this originally harmonious land become war-torn, right?
