Chapter 3: Poisoning and Sacrifice
Wang Yue thought for a moment, took Ken's scimitar again, and then put his own scimitar on the goods, "These are all yours." ”
Ken nodded excitedly, "Thank you then." ”
Ken left happily, Wang Yue was bored and leaned on the grass behind him to watch the bustling crowd, rubbing Yin Biao beside him from time to time, but Yin Biao didn't like to be disturbed by others when eating.
Although the Zambezi River valley is rich in water, but after entering the dry season, the entire plateau is in a period of water shortage, and the Zambezi River is also like an old man, slowly breathing forward, a large number of wild animals are trying to come to the water source to replenish the water needed by the body, which also makes the Zambezi River tributaries more dangerous.
But the danger is not only in the vicinity of the river's water source, but also in the dry grass, and even for the indigenous people, these dangers can endanger their lives.
"The more, the more, help me, help us." The black woman with a large tonnage ran towards Wang Yue, and the passers-by who had no time to dodge along the way were directly hit.
Wang Yue saw that it was the woman who had asked him to go to dinner, and remembered that one of her sons was named Laxia, Wang Yue stood up, "What's wrong?" ”
"Rasha, Rasha was bitten by a Zanya viper, can you save him?" The woman was very anxious and expectant, her husband was bitten to death by wild beasts, she pulled three children by herself, life was very hard, but the eldest son and the second son grew up to share some of the pressure, but life can only be on the food and clothing line.
And Wang Yue's appearance allowed her to seize a glimmer of opportunity, she took the initiative to cook for Wang Yue, and Wang Yue's weapons and prey were also handled by her first, so that her life was finally much better, plus her two sons had guns, and hunting was also very convenient.
But today, the eldest son Laxia was bitten by a Zanya snake, in this tribe, people are often bitten by Zanya snakes, and their fate is generally only to wait for death, the woman doesn't want to let her rely on it to die like this, so he thought of Wang Yue, who has lived in the wild for a long time, he must have a way.
Hearing his wife's explanation, Wang Yue frowned slightly, because he had seen this kind of small snake less than a foot long, it was very poisonous, and when he moved, it was not like other snakes that had a rustling sound.
"Let's go see what happened to Laxia first." Wang Yue said, Wang Yue is not sure, but he has to go over and take a look.
Wang Yue ran to Laxia's house with several black men who knew him well.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a group of people gathered here, an old woman dressed in colorful clothes was chanting, and the black soup in the sea bowl in her hand proved that if this thing could not save people, it would definitely give the patient a ride in advance.
This old lady Wang Yue knew that it was the witch doctor of this village, and Wang Yue had also communicated with her, because she had just arrived, and asked about some survival skills and anti-mosquito medicine configurations outside, to put it bluntly, this old lady was very good at pharmacology.
Wang Yue saluted to the old witch doctor, "Elder, how is Laxia?" ”
The old witch doctor saw that it was this kind Oriental, and shook his head helplessly, "This medicine can only delay his death, but it cannot cure the root cause." ”
Wang Yue nodded, and then walked in front of Laxia, now Laxia's leg is swollen like a muscular man's muscle, and the green tendons are highlighted at a glance that the venom has flowed upward, and a ribbon is tied to the root of his thigh, and it is also because of this ribbon that he has not died yet.
But looking at Laxia's constantly shaking body, you know that it can't last long.
"It is rumored that some snakes, snake gall can detoxify, have you tried it?" Wang Yue asked the old witch doctor.
The old witch doctor nodded, "I tried it a long time ago, but it didn't work." ”
Wang Yue pondered for a while, and at this time, the woman ran in, seeing that everyone did not move, she grabbed Wang Yue's hand, "Yue, please save him, he is my dependence, if he dies, our family will be finished again." ”
Wang Yue's heart was touched, he could understand the sorrow of losing a man in this primitive tribe, this woman finally survived and had to accept this tragedy.
"Ral, take me to the place where the accident happened." Wang Yue said to the somewhat stupid Laer.
Lal is only fifteen or sixteen, and he can only follow his brother out to help, this time when the accident happens, Lal is stupid.
Wang Yue walked over and pulled Laral, "Let's go." ”
At this time, Ken also ran in, "How's it going?" ”
"Later, let's go to the place where the incident happened." Wang Yue said.
Five minutes later, Ral led a group of people to the scene of the incident, which was a small high slope, and the withered yellow weeds on the ground were very messy.
Wang Yue said to Yin Biao beside him, "Every day in addition to eating and sleeping, it's time for you to highlight your ability, go and find out where this snake came from." ”
Yin Biao was a little dissatisfied, because he was a tiger, not a dog, but there was no way as Wang Yue said, he ate and slept every day, and he should do some work after sleeping and eating, although he was unprofessional in doing this work.
Soon Yinbiao led the people all the way to the east to smell the scent, and Lal said in surprise, "This is the direction my brother and I are chasing prey." ”
Wang Yue frowned slightly and thought of one thing, the higher the intelligence, the stronger the beast's sense of revenge, three minutes Yin Biao stopped in a depression, Wang Yue dug with the knife in his hand, there is indeed a snake hole, "Look for the kind of special plants around, the kind that is incompatible with other plants." ”
Everyone dispersed, but there were only weeds and nothing else here, Wang Yue frowned slightly, it shouldn't be, it stands to reason that there must be something restraining him within ten meters of this highly poisonous plant.
Wang Yue went back to the hole and dug it, but a transparent rhizome leaked out, "It turned out to be here." ”
Following the rhizome, Wang Yue dug out this vegetation, very strange vegetation, translucent on it is the kind of bag like a tumor, and there is a faint fragrance, but there is no time to care about these, it is important to go back and save people quickly.
After running back, the soup that gave Rasha had an effect, and although his life was saved, his thighs had begun to fester.
Mash a transparent packet, and then give Laxia internal and external use, I have to say that this world is really magical, through this transparent vegetation, Laxia's miserable green face instantly becomes the original dark, and the wound is no longer festering.
The old witch doctor was very knowledgeable and said excitedly, "This plant is effective in interpretation. ”
But soon he was a little sad, "but it was too late, he was already poisonous." ”
Wang Yue shook his head, helped Laxia up, and then sat behind him, crossed his hands, made a few gestures, and then imprinted it on Laxia's back, time passed minute by minute, Wang Yue's face showed tired sweat beads, just when everyone was anxiously waiting, Laxia suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of black blood, and then fell down.
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said to the woman, "He's fine, just eat something light these days, and then slowly sandwich the meat." ”
Seeing Rasha spitting out poisonous blood, the old witch doctor's eyes lit up, but he immediately thought of something.
Wang Yue pulled the old witch doctor out of the room, then handed her the vegetation, and told her where the vegetation appeared and the approximate reason, and after saying that, Wang Yue left the village with Yinbiao.
Leaving the village, the tired Wang Yue frowned slightly, he only now found out the consequences of his internal strength decline, and now he is even struggling to export his internal strength, and it seems that he has to step up his cultivation.
Spring goes to autumn, but in this tropical region there is only the rainy season and the dry season, after the Laxia incident, with the consent of the whole village, Wang Yue obtained the right of permanent residence in the village at the invitation of the old witch doctor, especially the antidote method sent by Wang Yue has allowed other tribes to reduce the casualties of the main laborers.
With the help of many friends, an atmospheric and spacious wooden house was built near the side of the old witch doctor's house, and this group of bastard young people actually built Wang Yue's house smaller than the old witch doctor, and there were many rooms inside, and the most annoying thing was that Ken, a shameless man, moved in on the first day with a bed, and called it a doorkeeper.
During the annual harvest season, the village's old witch doctor invited Wang Yue to join her at a tribal gathering.
Wang Yue, who was sitting on the meadow, was curious, under normal circumstances, this kind of assembly could be watched, but outsiders could not participate, "Is it appropriate for me to participate?" ”
The old witch doctor smiled kindly, "Of course, you are a member of our village, and you have also contributed a method of detoxification, and your contribution is worthy of the friendship of our tribe." ”
On the morning of the harvest season, the village was bustling with a group of young men carrying the old witch doctor in front of the large tribe in the center of the plateau, and in this team was a yellow-skinned young man wearing a hat, carrying a scimitar, and beside him a sturdy little tiger.
Wang Yue is not very accustomed to using a sword, but there is no way that no one here can forge a sword, so he can only make do.
The Zanya tribe is the owner of this land, and other small tribes and villages are affiliated with it, and their sacred mountain is in the area occupied by the Zanya tribe, which is also the birthplace of a major tributary of the Zambezi River.
Follow the team into the Zanya tribe, which is filled with laughter, colorful flags, the sound of tribal unique musical instruments from time to time, many people dancing in the square, and some people selling their goods.
Ken said to Wang Yue beside him, "How spectacular." ”
Wang Yue looked at it, "It's okay, if it weren't for those white people and me, the yellow race and those black people with guns, it would be even more spectacular." ”
Ken bit his lip and whispered, "The chief is very open-minded, at the end of World War II, he began to introduce outside technology and advanced weapons, which is why the tribe has developed so quickly to resist the attacks of other tribes who also have weapons, but with the addition of advanced weapons and medical treatment, our primitive assembly has also become nondescript." ”
Wang Yue patted him on the shoulder, "The wheels of history are rolling forward, whoever stands in his way will be crushed to death on the road, there is no right or wrong in this." ”
At this time, Laxia, who jumped to his feet and looked ahead, said to Wang Yue and the others, "Quick, the high priest is baptizing the Holy Son, let's hurry up and visit." ”
The crowd squeezed through the crowd and saw an old priest putting the child in his hand in the water in the basin with a phrase in his mouth, and strangely enough, the audience could see that there was nothing under the clear water, but the little guy was actually floating on the water, and the child was obviously not newborn.
Wang Yue was very curious, so he closed his eyes and felt it carefully, he found that there was a very strange power coming from the old priest and the child, Wang Yue had never seen it, it was very similar to the Taoist priest of the Han Dynasty, but there were some differences.
Wang Yue opened his eyes and rubbed his chin, "Ability? ”
Ability Wang Yue can't, and once knew a lot of capable people and strangers when he traveled in the Han Dynasty, Wang Yue basically learned a lot of martial arts and techniques, but he couldn't learn that kind of ability or Taoist method no matter what.
Many Taoist friends say that he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he doesn't respect gods, so he can be regarded as an insulator of supernatural abilities.
At this moment, the black child who was less than a year old suddenly sat up cross-legged in the water, Wang Yue frowned slightly, and several dodged out of the crowd to the side, and after Wang Yue left, all the onlookers knelt down.
If Wang Yue didn't leave, then you can imagine how abrupt it would be to kneel down, and only one of him would stand.
After receiving the prostration, the water of the cistern is opened, and the servant gives each believer a bowl full of holy water so that they can receive the gift of the Son.
Wang Yue did not despise this kind of behavior, because there are such customs in many places, and their role is more like stabilizing the harmony within the clan.
Wang Yue felt more than a dozen cold gazes sweeping here, Wang Yue squinted slightly, and then instantly thought of something, and reminded loudly, "Ken, lie down." ”
"Da ......" gunshots rang out in the tribe.
This was followed by wails and cursing as many innocent villagers fell to the ground.
Wang Yue seized the opportunity, jumped up, snatched the Holy Son floating on the water, and hid in a corner.
When Ken and the others who were lying on the ground knew that there had been an accident, they wanted to take people to the war, Wang Yue called a few people in the corner, and Ken said nervously, "Mother-in-law is over there, I'm going to save her!" ”
Lu Bu handed over the Holy Son to Ken, "Don't go, come and protect the old priest and the Holy Son, and I'll save my mother-in-law." ”
After taking two steps, he felt that this was not good, no matter how he said that he was a foreigner, Wang Yue turned around, "Laxia, follow me." ”
Rasha followed with AK47s, and all the black soldiers assembled along the way to the tall house of the patriarch, while the white bodyguards who had been prepared for it stopped in batches.
Wang Yue put the hat on a rice jar and quietly approached a white man, and when the white man sensed someone, he instantly wrapped a hand around his neck, "Gaba." ”
With a crack, the white man's head turned in a direction that would otherwise have been unattainable.
Wang Yue beckoned to Lasha and motioned for him to follow.
The two of them turned around to the patriarch's door, where there were quite a few people arguing, and even a white man had already pulled the bolt of a beautiful pistol, ready to shoot the patriarch with one shot.
Wang Yue knew that the situation was urgent, so he directly raised his hand and threw his scimitar out.
The scimitar with internal force quickly came straight to the white leader, who was also an old man, and felt the power and turned around to dodge, but the scimitar had already penetrated his chest.
The white leader slowly looked down at the tip of the knife that emerged from his heart, and knew that he was dead.
The white leader fell to the ground, and the other whites were also startled and ready to attack to avenge the boss, but Laxia took a step faster and shot first, regardless of the accuracy, and fired first, scaring the group of whites.
