Chapter 207: The Origin of the Witch 2/3
A team of forty adult males was formed, led by Yang, who was about to set off on a foreign exchange mission.
The Dragon Tribe is about to communicate with three tribes, all on the left bank of the river, and the three tribes are located in the south, north, and east directions of the original Eagle tribe's residence.
When Yang did not become the leader of the Eagle Tribe, he followed the leader of the time to these three tribes many times, and after Yang became the leader of the Eagle Tribe, he also led the team to communicate with these three tribes many times, and Yang was still familiar with these three tribes.
Now Jan led the team across the river to the left bank of the river, and then walked along the bank to the south.
The tribe in the south is a medium-sized tribe with a population of more than 100, and the specific number Yang is not clear, but Yang knows that this tribe has no witches and no totems, and this tribe lives near the river, let's call it the river tribe.
Tribes like the River Tribe tend to exist for a shorter period of time than those with witches, and they are less resistant to all kinds of dangers, and if they are not careful, they can wipe out the entire tribe.
Each primitive tribe was free of witches at the beginning, and only the most powerful person in the tribe served as the leader to lead the entire tribe to struggle to survive in this world.
With the increase in the population of the tribe and the passage of time, the tribe's own culture is revealed, naturally, the tribe has faith, and after having faith, there will be a special person responsible for sacrificing to the gods, and the person who sacrifices to the gods is the witch, at this time, the status of the witch is not as high as the leader, but it is the second person in the tribe after the leader.
"Wu" is actually Su Yan's name for the people who worship the gods, and the real situation, each tribe has different names for the people who worship the gods, and Su Yan translates it as "Wu" in a unified manner.
The tribesmen thought that witches could communicate with the gods, so they easily did not dare to contact witches, which was the main reason why witches had no spouses and no offspring.
At the beginning, Wu was responsible for sacrificing to the gods, Wu did not need to fight, and the leader needed to take the clan out hunting, often rushing to the front, which also led to the change of the leader of the tribe several people, Wu only replaced one person, at this time Wu officially became the supreme leader of the tribe, and the leader retreated to the second place.
Wu stayed in the house all day, and the worship of the gods did not take much time for Wu, and Wu had nothing to do, so he could only find something to do by himself.
The most primitive and rudimentary pictorial texts have been carved out in the hands of generations of witches, and with words, witches have also begun to record various knowledge as tribal inheritance.
Writing, witchcraft (medicine), houses, new tools, witches are wise men and creators, while other people are busy working every day, how can they have time to create.
If a primitive tribe has no witch all the time, it is difficult for the tribe to survive in this world, or witch appears, or the tribe dies out, and the possibility of the third type appearing is very small.
Of course, the Dragon Tribe is an exception, there is Su Yan in the Dragon Tribe has embarked on a completely different path from other primitive tribes, and in the Dragon Tribe, the status of the Wu and the status of the patriarch have been rotated again, the status of the patriarch is higher than that of the Wu, and the Wu is no longer involved in the management of the tribe
The River Tribe does not belong to the third type, the existence time of the River Tribe is much shorter than that of the Eagle Tribe, and among the three tribes closest to the Dragon Tribe on the left bank of the river, the River Tribe has the worst standard of living.
Walking south along the left bank of the river, for nearly half a day, Yang looked south from afar, and saw a team of adult women fishing by the river, and they took sharpened wooden sticks and plunged into the river one by one, and if they were lucky, they could insert a fish.
This team is the fishing team of the River Tribe, and from there it is a few minutes east of the River Tribe's residence.
Soon, the distance between the two teams was cut in half, and it was only then that a woman from the River tribe fishing team noticed that a group of adult males from the north, probably outnumbered them, was coming this way.
She shouted, drawing the attention of the other people, and the able-bodied woman, who was the captain of the fishing team, opened her mouth to ask what was happening, and inadvertently saw the group of people from the north approaching this way.
"There are enemies! Grab your weapons and get ready for battle, go back to the tribe and let the people be ready...... Stop, don't go back. She had planned to have one of her people return to her place of residence to tell her people to guard against the enemy, but before she could finish speaking, she saw a man at the front of the team she had been staring at raising his free hands.
Holding up the empty hands did not mean "surrender" in primitive times, but "no hostility".
Although the confrontation was not hostile, the captain of the fishing team still asked her people to gather together with weapons and watch out for the approaching team.
Jan walked at the front of the line, and the man who raised his free hands was also Jan.
As Jan gets closer and closer to the fishing team, the captain of the fishing team is inexplicably familiar with Jan's appearance.
"By the way, it's him, the leader of that tribe." The captain of the fishing team finally remembered, and she shouted to her people, "That's a friend in front, don't point your weapons at your friend." ”
Not only the captain of the fishing team, but also several people in the fishing team also recognized Yang.
Hearing that the captain said that the person who came was a friend, they all withdrew the weapons in their hands towards Yang, and their hearts that had been tense relaxed a lot.
A few minutes later, Jan led the team to the River Tribe fishing team.
"Leader of the northern tribes, have you come here for something?" The captain of the fishing team asked Xiang Yang.
Instead of answering, Jan asked, "Is the leader of your tribe in the tribe?" ”
Captain of the fishing team: "No, the leader is hunting with the hunting party." ”
Jan: "Forget it, when the leader of your tribe returns, tell him that I have invited him to my tribe." ”
Captain of the Fishing Team: "I see, I'll tell the chief." ”
Jan: "By the way, and gifts for your tribe. ”
Yang beckoned behind him, and several members of the team brought up a large pottery vessel and ten pottery bowls of various sizes.
Jan continued gesturing to the captain of the fishing team, "This is a gift from our tribe to your tribe, this thing can be used to hold water. ”
With that, Jan scooped a bowl of water out of the river with a clay bowl and handed it to the captain of the fishing team.
The captain of the fishing team carefully took the pottery bowl filled with water, she looked at the pottery bowl in Yang's hand in surprise, she didn't expect this thing to be able to hold water, such a big thing, it could hold so much water at once, and this thing was still given to their tribe.
Treasures, definitely treasures, the northern tribe was able to give such a precious thing as a gift to our tribe, and the last bit of vigilance in the heart of the captain of the fishing team was all put down.
"We're leaving, and your tribe is welcome to our tribe." With that, Jan turned and left with the team.
The captain of the fishing team came to her senses as she watched Young's party go away, and she first shouted to the people around her, "Don't stand here, go fishing." ”
Yes, they still have to fish, and one by one they put down their weapons and pick up their harpoons again and go to the river, and once again devote themselves to the great cause of fishing.
The captain of the fishing team carefully moved the pottery bowl in his hand and the pottery on the ground to a place he thought was safer on the shore.
