Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 62 Atypical Witch Doctor (Ask for Collection, Recommendation, Encouragement)
Sobbing silently, representing extreme sadness.
The great revenge cannot be avenged, the clansmen cannot be saved, and there is no way to let the doctor and witch who only a few people follow. Even though she prayed to God and the Father, she did not receive a single reply, not even any useful information about how she would live her life in the future.
Could it be that the way or process of divination is wrong? It has only been less than two years since I took over this mantle from the previous doctor, is it because I didn't learn divination well or didn't listen to the doctor when I was studying? I'm still too young, and my experience is still a little lacking. According to the previous doctor, I am now three palms and two fingers.
By the way, could it be that God didn't reply to me because I stole the three animals I gave to the Father, causing the Father to get angry? It seems that I need to review my behavior, but I still have to get through the difficulties in front of me!
After adjusting his emotions, the doctor turned around and said to Shi and the others:
"Shi, you and the flowers and grass go to find some food and come back, pay attention to safety, and remember to come back before dark! May God bless you all! ”
"Peach, you go find some firewood and grass, it's cold at night, and you need to add some more to be able to burn it tonight."
As a healer, he quickly recovered from his sad state and arranged the next things in an orderly manner, so that everyone could have a job to do without wasting labor.
Several people had no objection to the arrangement of the witch, and they all obediently went out to do their own work.
The Witch turned to Ben and said:
"Come, Ben, tell me, how did you disappear for so many days, I remember that the leader told you to find more food sources!"
Hearing the doctor's inquiry, Ben's eyes lit up, and he remembered his previous plan, so he hurriedly told the doctor about his experience in the past ten days.
When she heard Ben talk about being almost eaten by a leopard, her hands trembled nervously; When Ben spoke of a purring beast standing in front of him, her palms were sweating; When Ben said she woke up to see a man dressed in a strange animal skin, her eyes lit up with thought.
And when Ben recounts the strange tools and the four-headed beast that Tinchi raises by his side, she reveals the idea of finding out; But when Ben recounted the meat and food that filled the yard, the domesticated animals, and the delicious delicacies, the mouth of the witch was already full of saliva, and if it were not for the image of the witch, I am afraid that the saliva would have flowed out at this time; But when Ben said that he drank a sip of smoking water and was scalded with two large blisters, the doctor Wu Gege laughed, and the flowers and branches trembled.
Ben's account came to an end, but the Witch was still deeply absorbed in Ben's story, showing considerable interest in the tribe with only one person and the man who served as the same tribe witch as her. She didn't know what those strange tools looked like, but she showed a strong desire to explore the role of these tools, and a little bit of possession, who made her a tribal witch?
But when Ben took out the back basket behind her and the bowl inside, she tried to show the image of a doctor witch in front of Ben, and her image collapsed in an instant, becoming a little girl who chattered and asked about this and that.
"Ben, is this the container for that kind of smoking water?"
"Ben, tell me, is this container called a bowl?"
"Ben, what is this bowl made of?"
"Ben, is this a basket? You can carry a lot of food, let alone carry it in your hands! ”
"Ben, are these things made by the healer? He's too powerful! ”
"Ben, will the other party teach us how to make these bowls and carry baskets?"
"What? Not to be told? Do you have to be one of his people to learn? It's so damning! ”
"Can we exchange our things for these things, as we did in the jungle?"
Ben, who was sitting on the stone on the side, never interjected in the face of the doctor's question, and only when asked if it could be interchangeable, he interjected and replied:
"Witch Doctor, what do you think we have to exchange? We have nothing left now, and we don't even know if we will be able to save our captured people, let alone get enough to exchange them. ”
Ben couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the good things Ding had stored there, and Ding Qi's attitude towards those things.
"We only have six people at the moment, and we can't get anything from him unless we trade ourselves."
Hearing this, the doctor witch was also sad. Yes, all they have are six people, including herself. According to the other party, either you can exchange the existing people for something that can be used, or you can join the other party's tribe and become your own person to learn to make these things.
Can you join the other party's tribe?
In the jungle, there are many tribes that disappear in the winter due to food shortages, either wiped out by the cold weather, or eventually integrate into other tribes, while their own tribes disappear completely.
The healer of his own tribe, in the absence of a leader, only he can decide the future of the tribe. It is difficult to say whether the few remaining people will survive this winter, let alone have enough food on hand to meet tomorrow's arrival.
Moreover, I seem to be looking forward to meeting the doctor and witch to see what he looks like and whether he has the power to lead everyone to live.
"Ben, you can lead the people to dinner together in the evening, I want to think about the future. When you're done, I'll preside over the ceremony and see where we go!" ”
At dinner time, Shi and the others found very little food, only enough for everyone to share a little, and the taste of eating it also made Ben feel that it was similar to eating grass, compared with the food prepared by Ding, it was like the moon in the sky and the other was a straw stick on the ground. He didn't have any taste, he handed the food in his hand to Shi, who liked to sleep in, and he took the bowl that Ding Qi had given to the doctor and returned with some water.
This bowl is not only lightweight, but also holds more water, which is much stronger than the stone bowls originally used in the tribe. Ding Zhen is a strange person, not only handsome, but also very enthusiastic and selfless. With him, there will always be something that will catch people's eyes, and it would be nice to join his tribe!
While he was immersed in thought, the Witch summoned everyone around the campfire, and she said in a voice that was extremely reverent, as if she were paraphrasing someone else's words:
"My children, the great Father thinks we are in great difficulty, so He gives us the right to choose, whether we want to continue to live in this world of opportunity and danger, or whether we want to plunge into His great embrace and never experience hunger and cold."
Without waiting for the others to make a statement, the Witch picked up another bowl and basket and showed it to everyone, and continued:
"What I have in my hands is made by the healers of another tribe, and they have a very powerful and incredible ability to ease our labor, but also to increase our harvest. This miraculous tribe is the hope that God has guided us to live, and only by staying alive can we grow the tribe and have the strength to rescue other tribe members. ”
The Witch paused for a moment to digest the news he had just gotten, and then said again in an extremely pious voice:
"Then let me give you the direction to go to that tribe and see if there is any chance that you will survive. Well, oops! ”
The pious voice gradually receded, and the witch said easily in his original voice:
"God has given us guidance, so let me tell you if the road is going to be smooth and what the final outcome will be when we reach that tribe!"
After speaking, she took out a piece of tortoise shell and threw it into the fire, and when she heard the crackling sound of the tortoise shell, she pulled out the tortoise shell with a wooden stick, put it on the stone on the side, brushed off the grass and wood ash on it, and carefully checked the direction of the cracks on it, and after carefully checking the direction of the crack on it, the doctor witch picked up the tortoise shell that still had residual warmth, and shouted loudly, ignoring the pain coming from the palm of his hand:
"Daji!"
When they heard the doctor witch shouting Daji, they jumped up happily and shouted Daji together, their faces revealing their yearning for a better life in the future.
What does the future look like? Nobody knows.
But the doctor witch knew, or she could foresee, that the result of this divination was the same as the result of the old doctor's divination before, and it was good luck. And after that divination, the tribe caught a bighorn deer the next day, which was enough for all the members of the tribe to eat for five days, and it was very full.
Originally, she was prepared that if there were some other divinations, she would also say that they would be auspicious. In addition to daily medicine to cure diseases, what I have to do at the critical moment is to lead the tribe members and give them spiritual comfort. But I didn't expect that there was really a lucky divination, could it be that the father opened his eyes?
"Father, thank you, Father, next time I won't steal any more of your three animals!"
The healer bowed down religiously, more religiously than ever.
These practices of witches may be atypical practices among other tribes of witches, but they don't know that female witches themselves are outliers and very few witches, not to mention that she is also an atypical witch, with a strong desire for knowledge and unique preferences.
At dawn the next day, a few people simply cleaned up, put some useful items into the basket, each holding a wooden spear, and walked in the direction of Ding Qi under the leadership of Ben with the basket on his back. The sorcerer walked in the middle, guarded by a few others, guarding against danger from the jungle while collecting roots, stems, and fruits of plants that could be used to feed the stomach.
At this moment, different things are happening in this vast jungle.
Tinch and his four pets hunt and gather all kinds of food in the forest, and continue to build up their reserves for their rich life.
In the jungle some distance from the cave where Ben was hiding, five or six primitive people of the Qing tribe with skull tattoos tattooed on their backs were holding the wooden spears in their hands, urging the dozen or so primitive people in front of them, who were only covering a few pieces of animal skins, to pick fruits in the jungle and dig up the roots of plants.
There was a relatively thin-looking primitive man who secretly stuffed a freshly picked fruit into his mouth, and was discovered by a Qing tribesman who supervised them behind him, followed by a burst of punches and kicks, and even the wooden spear in his hand was discounted. After a while, only a bruised corpse was left in place, and the others continued to move their feet numbly, using all the strength in their bodies to support themselves from falling down and holding on until it was time to eat.
At the edge of another jungle, a group of more than 20 primitive people armed with wooden spears were driven by the Qing tribesmen who were equally numerous but armed with stone weapons behind them, and scattered in a circle, looking for small animals in the grass, such as hares, pheasants, field mice, hedgehogs, and everything that could be eaten, even a snail would not be spared, all of them were placed in a leather carried by two people behind them, but they did not dare to steal one. The man hanging outside the tribe is long dead, and he is the fate of the stealer.
Under the leadership of the leader, the tribe wearing the feather crown is collecting everything that can be eaten and transporting it back to the cave, where it will be kept by the witch as a whole and distributed when the time comes.
The cannibal tribe that Tinch once went to, they were also hunting. The loss of so many tribesmen before made their behavior a little more restrained, like ants moving, trying to store as much food as possible.
However, due to this year's fires, there is less sunlight and less food can be found in the jungle than in previous years. The animals, which also depend on these crops in the jungle, are also in a difficult situation.
