204. Sinners
In fact, Sima Pianpian lived in the Youlin tribe as a guest, not only respected, but also relatively free, she didn't know what the chief thought in his heart, and didn't ask her to work, and those tribesmen didn't seem to have too many opinions, but she still went consciously.
She participates in the labor, mainly to learn the language better, and to communicate with people in different jobs can learn more professional and refined vocabulary, the vocabulary of the Youlin tribe is much richer than that of the plains tribe, they use their fingers and toes to count, use the seasons to calculate the time, and many of the things they often use or are familiar with...... Therefore, it still takes a lot of effort to learn, but fortunately, Sima Pianpian has a good memory and memorizes words quickly, mainly because she needs to be proficient in application, so she will often change different jobs and communicate with different people to learn.
Sima Pianpian in the process of labor, not so much labor, but guidance, she rarely does it herself, but will teach primitive people how to do better, this is a habit left over after she led the Canglong tribe, she actually doesn't like to point fingers at other people's tribes, but currently she lives here, and she can help if she can.
Soon, the people of Youlin realized that since they had done things according to the methods taught by this new woman, they had done things faster and gained more, and they thought of what the chief had told them...... They were even more curious about where she came from......
She has been here for more than half a month, Sima Pianpian is still quite satisfied with the Youlin tribe, because of their cooperation, she has learned most of the languages, she plans to go to other places in a few days, she will go to other places to see, her current mentality is different from the group of people who brought Wanhuo at the beginning, she has no patience to grow up slowly with a small tribe from the beginning, she is mainly here to explore the truth of that force, if she doesn't get the answer she wants here, then she must go somewhere else to check, can't waste too much time. Even if she can afford to drag it, Yinyue can't afford it......
At this time, Sima Pianpian was in Chief Lin's animal skin tent, and there was another person inside. Witch Doctor, Ann.
There is a witch doctor in the forest tribe, which she found out after she came, and the witch doctor has a name, which she only learned about some time ago. As she became more familiar with the language, she also found out a lot of information from the mouths of primitive people.
The people of the forest tribe had never heard of monsters, nor had they seen any nearby tribe with orcs.
They are different from those tribes in the plains, they remember the things of their childhood, remember the things of their predecessors, and although they do not worship such as totems, they also adhere to some rules handed down from their ancestors, such as many of the things mentioned below......
There are many other tribes around the Arin tribe, and there is even a large tribe outside of the two-day journey. It's called Da Yuan, and for the number of people there, the original number is not clear, and he only keeps flipping with his open hands, which means a lot, a lot.
The surrounding small tribes will gather in the Dayuan tribe every autumn for a very grand exchange meeting, and the Youlin tribe will exchange the prey fur accumulated in a year for salt, pottery and other things, which are very precious necessities of life, and it takes a lot of fur to exchange for some, such as pottery. The tribe is not available to every household, and only those who contribute the most to the tribe receive one.
Only then did Sima Pianpian know that the original chief thought she had contributed...... But the doubts in her heart have always existed. Regarding the attitude of the chief and the clansmen towards her, so, after she was basically proficient in the language, she went directly to ask the chief Lin.
Chief Lin was a middle-aged woman with a good face, and she was a little hesitant about some of Sima Pianpian's questions. There was a faint fear of something. The witch doctor An was also full of sternness, as if it was a taboo topic......
But in the end, it was asked by Sima Pianpian, in fact, that topic is not taboo, but they also feel very mysterious, difficult to understand, and dare not figure it out, and if they can't figure it out in this regard, in fact, it has little to do with them, but it is easy to offend the Dayuan tribe because of this, so everyone tacitly retains some attitudes towards this topic...
It turned out that they regarded her as a "sinner" at first, and the "sinner" was translated by Sima Pianpian herself, but in fact, the original words of primitive people were "murderous people who made mistakes".
Sima Pianpian asked again, what mistakes were made? What kind of murderous law? And this "sinner" was the word she replaced after she figured out the original meaning of Chief Lin's explanation.
From Canglong's point of view, the "murderous people who made mistakes" in Chief Lin's mouth are actually people who have committed crimes, but Canglong is punished by law, and here, it is punished by the Dayuan tribe.
The Dayuan tribe rules the entire area nearby, and the surrounding small tribes have to hand over a lot of food to it before winter every year in exchange for peace, as for what will happen if it is not peaceful, Chief Lin said that he does not know very well, he has not tried, and the ancestors of the Lin tribe have paid it on time every year......
Sima Pianpian secretly thought, they are really a law-abiding and excellent tribe, they have prepared so much food recently, it should be to hand it over, I don't know what this protection fee protects them......
After hearing this, she immediately became interested in investigating the Dayuan tribe, and heard that the Dayuan tribe's punishment of "sinners" was through a ritual of "gods" to punish these "sinners......
As soon as he heard the words "ritual" and "god", Sima Pianpian narrowed his eyes, could it be related to that power?
And when she asked why they had first thought she was a "sinner" and had strengthened their guards, and then they had stopped doing so, the chief's answer made her a little silent......
It is said that the ritual was held at an irregular time, and it was necessary to gather a certain number of "sinners" before it could be held, but primitive people found that the results of the ritual were very varied, sometimes those "sinners" would disappear into thin air, sometimes they would die suddenly, and sometimes they would appear alone in other places...... The explanation of the Dayuan tribe for this is that there is no explanation, only that this is the meaning of God, and at the same time, it is said that if you meet those "sinners" outside, you must be arrested and "returned", because those "sinners" are "murderous demons" and will take revenge on all tribes......
Hearing this, combined with the words from the hunting team before, Sima Pianpian understood that the hunting team was to persuade her not to resist and go back with them obediently, otherwise they would kill her, but they were afraid of the name of "murderous demon", so they had cowardice, because they knew that there were really tribes that had been retaliated against, and those "sinners" would kill people like crazy, I heard that there was a small tribe of more than 100 people, which was wiped out overnight, and later the Dayuan tribe sent a special capture team to arrest her......
Chief Lin heard from the fleeing hunting party that there were "sinners" nearby, and immediately became vigilant, first recalled the tribesmen, strengthened the tribal defenses, and then sent a person who ran the fastest, promised a clay pot, and let him risk life and death to investigate in the forest in the west, as a result, the man stayed there for a day and a night, and found no trace of the "sinner", and after returning, he told Lin the results of the investigation, although there was no result, but Lin still kept his promise and gave her a clay pot.
There is no trace of "sinners", and because the matter of collecting food is very important, as for why it is important, this is warned by the ancestors, Lin did not dare to slack off, and he has been used to it for so many years, so he decided to go out to look for food these days, but to combine the previous team of more than a dozen people into a large team and go out together to ensure safety.
Later, Sima Pianpian appeared, and Lin was indeed so shocked that day that she kept comforting herself that she should be calm and calm, and at the same time, she was also curious......
The so-called "sinners", in her impression, are divided into two kinds of people, one is all those who have made mistakes in the tribe, these people will be judged guilty by the tribal chieftain, and then sent to the Dayuan tribe to be punished, and the other is that the Dayuan tribe is directly convicted of guilt, and then the special arrest team will arrest the people who come back, I heard that some or even the entire tribe have been arrested......
Youlin is a small tribe, and she has never had a "sinner" since she can remember, and the rituals of the Dayuan tribe are only heard by people from other tribes, and they can't really see it, so she actually wants to know......
What kind of cruelty is a "sinner"?
Those who were convicted by the chiefs were sent to the Dayuan tribe after they were sent to the Dayuan tribe, and the Dayuan tribe never investigated, so they must be guilty?
The clan that the Dayuan tribe identified as guilty will be arrested by the whole clan, what did that tribe do?
……
These questions have always been in Lin's mind, she has not seen "sinners" with her own eyes, and she does not know how bad they are, and they must be punished by God......
As for that god, I just heard from the Dayuan tribe, and they said that if they handed over the food, they could use the power of the gods to protect everyone.
The surrounding tribes don't really care much about that god, and it doesn't matter to them whether they exist or not, the important thing is that they don't anger this powerful tribe, and obediently hand over the food according to the requirements of their ancestors, and then live their own lives.
And this time, Sima Pianpian suddenly appeared in front of her and brought the food she just needed, would she be a "sinner"?
Why is it different from the legend?
Moreover, she stared into her eyes for a long time, and she didn't look like "crazy" and "lost her mind" as those people said......
Therefore, she thinks that she should not be a "sinner", since she is not a "sinner", then the person who has brought so much food to her tribe is a distinguished guest to her......
Moreover, the other party's ability is very strong, when she first saw those bison, she thought it was a miracle, I am afraid that many clansmen think so, until she saw this woman, she was convinced at first glance that she did it......
After Sima Pianpian heard all this qiē, she was silent because she knew......
Most of the answers she wanted had already been answered clearly, so she knew what she was going to do next...... (To be continued.) )
