Chapter 169: Totem Selection
When they saw the deer people going away, they had to pick up the stones next to them and smash them at the hidden gate.
He was chosen from among the Ten Commanders, and he was brave and resourceful. This movement is loud enough.
The hairy lion inside, who was listening to Shu Feng's strange speculation about the Li God, was all attracted by this moment.
Shu Feng was also stunned for a moment. Wu De usually looks like a good old man, but he doesn't see it much in his eyes. He drove Wu De away, that was afraid of the legendary Ji Lin City.
Now that he saw that the vultures had gone and returned, his heart was cold, and he felt that it was time to take the vultures to open the knife.
As soon as Shu Feng opened his mouth, Wu De over there had already shouted: "Shu Feng, who can't orchestrate it?" You keep saying that your divine lion is more powerful than my chestnut god, do you dare to compare with me, see who is better? ”
Comparing who is better than others, and thus inferring whose faith is more sophisticated, this practice has been the same throughout history. It is in the arms of Shu Feng.
He's the bravest man here, and he's not afraid of anyone here.
The animal skin on Shu Fengzha's waist was about to be put on, but he heard Wu De say: "Personal courage cannot fully reflect the power of the gods, the god of chestnuts can also bless us with a good harvest, and you divine lions can also use your courage to be full of courage, do you dare to compete with me in hunting?" Limited to three days, whoever hunts more beasts, even if he wins, you are still the most powerful warrior of the hairy lion, do you dare? ”
Shu Feng naturally dared to do this. However, he knew that he had a black bow that could shoot farther than all the bows in the tribe, and immediately said, "You can't use your bow, you can only use stone tools." ”
Wu De nodded in agreement: "And you can't find someone to help, not even a slave." ”
Shu Feng thought that he had limited all the advantages of Wude, so he quickly left the stockade with his own weapons and stepped on the crops in the fields all the way to the wilderness.
A little later, Wu came out of the Zhaimen, turned his head and said to the hairy lion behind him: "We only have three days for this competition, within three days, you better think about it, who has been hungry during this time?" Is farming better than just hunting? ”
After speaking, he took the stone and wooden bow out of the stockade, thinking to himself: three days, or enough to wait until Qizi sent someone.
Then, he climbed onto the back of an elephant......
……
Qiao Huan was anxious about the forest tracks, and when she saw that the child was very peaceful on the tent-like ride, she asked her to follow the steps of the elephant. The road to the south had been opened, and except for the occasional crossing of the river, the walk was extremely smooth, and by noon they had covered forty kilometres.
After a break at noon, they turned east, and the hooves of wild beasts were heard in the distance.
Because the whole deer was swallowed up, there are now bighorn deer everywhere south of the Gouhu Lake. As soon as you hear it, you can tell that it is the hoof of a bighorn deer.
Hearing the sound of hooves, Qiao Huan asked people to run forward for a while, to call the slow people, so as not to collide.
Someone came to slow down the deer in front. But the deer did not know how far it had run, and its strength had been exhausted, and as soon as its speed decreased, it fell to its knees in the dirt.
The person who came was extremely distressed, but fortunately there seemed to be a way to deal with this situation, he pushed the deer to lie flat, broke a branch from the side to block the deer, and then stood beside the deer and watched Qiao Huan and his party.
Qiao Huan asked the person to stop the procession and asked the man, "Where did you come from and where are you going?" ”
"Hairy Lion, you want to go into the city." The person came with a thick deer accent.
Qiao Huan's eyes were alarming, and then he asked, "You are a deer man, right?" What do you have to do to get into town? Who sent you? ”
Seeing that the bow had been drawn up, and knowing that if he was sentenced to be a fugitive slave, the consequences would be serious, so he hurriedly took out his work certificate and said, "It was the village chief of Wude who sent me to find Qizi." Shu Feng of the hairy lion drove away the village chief, and also wanted to kill our deer people and burn the fields. ”
Qiao Huan asked someone to take the work card, and there was a piece of paper with the job title written on it in the transparent envelope, and it was impossible for this thing to be fake.
"You didn't steal it?"
"It's not."
"So tell me what's going on?"
Ten minutes later, the team sped up. The deer were tied to the back of an elephant, and others went straight back to the city with the news.
At noon on the second day, Qiao Huan appeared in the Maoshi tribe, in front of her, the mayor of this place has arrived, and the mayor can only manage the village chief, and he is not as effective as the village chief in front of ordinary Maoshiren. At this time, he was bitterly persuading the hairy lion to send the lion to Chaolin City for treatment.
However, no one paid attention to what he said outside the gate.
He recognized Qiao Huan and rushed over for help like a savior: "Qiao Huan, it's so good that you're here...... They didn't know what the disease was, and they were locked up in a stuffy and hot room, wrapped in a lion's skin, and they were afraid that they would not be sick and they were covered to death. They also said they were going to kill slaves and burn fields, and I didn't know what to do. ”
Qiao Huan climbed down from the elephant's back with the child on his back and said loudly: "I don't care about these things of you, I took the child out for a walk." When I was in the city, Shim and I knew each other, and if I got sick, I had to go in and have a look. ”
Some of the women in the village who had followed Shimu into the city saw that it was Qiao Huan and brought their children, so they all came out and quickly hugged Qiao Huan in.
Qiao Huan saw that Shimu was really stuffed in the house, and his consciousness was no longer clear, so he blamed a few women around him and said, "Shimu's disease is so serious, why don't you let people go to the city for treatment?" Those words outside, it was from jealousy of Qizi. Do you believe it too? Others don't know about the ability to cure diseases in the city, don't you know? Da Wu is so sick that she just takes a little medicine and heals? ”
Several women were a little ashamed of what they said, and were about to explain, when a one-armed man came in from outside and said, "If it's really that magical, why hasn't my severed hand grown back?" ”
Qiao Huan's eyes fell on the woman beside her. The women explained the reason in a few words, and Qiao Huan said to the man: "You don't want to think about it, if you broke this arm in the past, you would have died a long time ago." So what will keep you alive until now? Although our medical skills cannot cure all the diseases, you don't know how many people have been saved? ”
"You broke your arm, because you don't feel like you used to be as beautiful as before, so you complain everywhere, and you don't even care about the life and death of the lion? You are also an ungrateful thing, if you were asked to go out hunting in the past, you are like this now, you are starving to death if you are not hungry, and now you have a broken arm and are still living fat, who brought about the change? ”
Qiao Huan scolded a few words, making the man embarrassed. She directly asked the doors and windows to open the side to ventilate, and at the same time asked the nurse on the team to come in and see Lion.
Shimu's appearance is a little weak, here to the city, the road is far away, I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand the bumps, it is better to let the nurse come in and take a look.
Although the nurse is not good at diagnosis and treatment, she has seen a lot of people by Shouli's side, and there are no people who are not afraid of treating people at this time. After some examination, she gave Shimu one of the several commonly used medicines she had brought, and then asked her to feed more salt water, and then walked away with her head up.
To her, Lion's life was not as expensive as those two pills. Saving her is pure charity.
In her, of course, there is no problem that cannot be cured.
The nurse is arrogant, but Qiao Huan can't do this. She took the milk powder from her luggage, poured out the hot water from the thermos cup she had with her, added salt and sugar and stirred it so that the lion could be fed slowly.
The effect didn't come out for a while, but everyone smelled the milk and saw the thermos cup, and they felt that this thing was of great use, and the lion should be good.
These were all made by Qizi, and they realized how ignorant they were to slander Qizi before.
Lion slept for a long day, and by dusk he was awake.
Although the lion was still weak after waking up, he was conscious and was able to eat something else. Seeing this, the whole village of Maoshi was in high spirits. The slaves who escaped death were even more smiling.
In the evening, Lion regained his spirits and called Joe to speak. Several lanterns were specially hung in the house to illuminate the room. Many people from the Mao Lion Department followed suit.
Shimu asked, "You came by chance, and you came quickly, I'm afraid you didn't come just to save me from this disease, right?" ”
Qiao Huan said: "I came out to see the agricultural situation in various places, and I learned on the way that you are sick, and there are villains who are making trouble." That's why I came to take a look. Fortunately, Keiko cared and brought a nurse with him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to save you. ”
Shimu said with palpitations: "I didn't expect that I would enjoy this once." ”
There were some other emotions in the words.
Qiao Huan saw her thoughts and said, "You, you know that the effect of curing diseases in the city is obvious, and you should go to the city to see if you are sick." Although you are not an elder, but you go, Shouli still dare not show you? ”
"Knowing that you didn't choose an elder last year, and your heart didn't go well, I brought you good news. Keiko said, you have done well in hunting elephants and fighting against deer, and you are willing to choose a few more elders from among you to join the Council of Elders. This is my first stop at you. And you hunt elephants second, and your combat exploits against the deer are not bad, you elder, I think it is decided. ”
"Did Keiko really say that?" When the lion heard the good news, she also smiled, but she quickly stopped laughing again, and said with some concern: "I am a hairy lion......"
Qiao Huan said: "You don't have to worry about this. Qizi said that after the founding of the country, he would not interfere with the gods of the tribes. I don't want you to believe in the Chestnut God Himezu. That's the god of Ji Lin. We founded the country according to the rules formulated by Qizi, which can allow us to reduce wars, eat full, and cure diseases. ”
"Is that true?"
"What's not true? Qizi said, the kind of couples in our city can distribute food and raise children more reasonably, but did he let you follow suit? He said there is a saying here called mutual respect. That is, I do not interfere with your belief in your sacred lion, we follow our approach, and you should understand more, so don't have any misunderstandings and wars because of this. This is also a way to avoid war. ”
"Besides, he was afraid that you would not understand what things were like in the city, and that you would misunderstand, so he decided to send people to this town to open a school starting this fall. You can send your children to school, to learn writing, to do arithmetic, to build a house to make wine, and so on. If you still want that person to be the village chief, he can also go to school. He was wounded on the battlefield and was given priority. Although he only has one hand now, if he learns more than others, others will definitely obey him, right? It's not about hunting anymore. ”
Qiao Huan's last words were in the heart of Shimu. If that man could really learn anything from school, he would still be the village chief here. So, what's the difference between everything and the past?
After Qiao Huan said this, he said the beautiful appearance of the future that Ji Lin said again, which made everyone in the room look forward to it.
But Qiao Huan also knew that if the conflict of beliefs was not changed, it would be really difficult for these things to be maintained, and he didn't know how Lin Ji would change the situation this time.
Qiao Huan stayed in the Mao Lion Department for two days. For two days, the nurse continued to administer Lion. Lin Rui also had some medicine and nutritional products delivered from the city. This quickly brought Lion back to his senses.
When Shimu got out of bed, she happened to see the result of the battle between Shu Feng and Wude.
On this day, Shu Feng brought back a lot of prey, and Wude also brought back a lot. But he was dragged back along the road with an elephant. The number of prey of the two can be distinguished at a glance.
Shu Feng was not convinced and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Shimu. This man only has strength and no head, and he can't ride an elephant out to carry prey, which is really not shameful.
At this time, winning or losing was meaningless, so she didn't let Shu Feng fight.
Qiao Huan appeased the lion, and then left the hairy lion tribe and began to visit and pacify the tribes one by one. With the benefits of running schools and electing elders released by Lin Ji, all kinds of undercurrent emotions were slowly calmed down.
Halfway through the trip, Lin Xi sent someone to inform her of the new arrangement: "Inform the leaders of the tribes to bring their own totems or paintings to Chaolin City to select the symbolic totems after the founding of the country." ”
As soon as these words came out, a stone suddenly stirred up a thousand waves.
Does this mean that the totems of the tribes are likely to become the public totems of the land in the future?
There are two ways for human expansion and one is expansion by force. When his own strength is sufficient, he will kill or conquer the people in the land he sees to achieve the purpose of occupation. The second is the expansion of faith. When the force is insufficient, pass on one's own beliefs, and one day when others begin to believe in the same gods as yourself, it is basically equivalent to taking down that land.
It is impossible for the tribes south of Gouhu to surpass the Tiger Barbarians in terms of force, and it is even more impossible to surpass Chaolin City now. It is basically impossible to take the first path.
However, they still want all the people of the land to believe in their own gods. And the forest trail just gave them another chance.
As soon as they thought that near Gouhu, including Human, they were all believing in their gods, they couldn't help but be excited.
After receiving the news, the leaders of the tribes stayed up all night to show their gods in the best possible way, and then the deer hurried to Chaolin City without stopping, so as not to be taken first.
Qiao Huan is still faithfully carrying out the task of Lin Ruins on the road, and many people have already arrived in Chaolin City.
However, Qiao Huan was puzzled about this matter. What Lin Ji has been doing is actually to weaken the influence of these tribes, that is, to marginalize their gods, so as to prevent the chaotic habits brought by their totems from disrupting the various construction processes.
Theoretically speaking, at this time, Lin Rui should strictly order the villages not to believe in their own gods, and at the same time really promote the Li God. The process may have been bloody, and Lin Ji didn't do it, which is already considered merciful.
But now the forest trails instead let these tribes take out their own totems to select what future national symbols, isn't this fueling the arrogance of these totems and stumbling on themselves?
What kind of strange totem would these people choose, and what would the result look like?
Qiao Huan didn't dare to think about it.
Towards Lin City, Lin Ji stood on the city tower, and deliberated on his plan and rhetoric again, feeling that there should be no loopholes, so he set his eyes into the distance.
He's here today to wait for Hu Yi'er to come back.
Hu Yi'er asked to return to Lin Ji according to Hu Aman's intentions. Lin Ji also felt that he really needed some comfort under such high-intensity work. So she was handed over and asked to come back.
Looking at the watch, it seems that time has passed a little. Lin Ji tried to look into the distance, and there were people coming and going on the road, but there seemed to be no shadow of Hu Yi'er.
Is it a delay? Lin Ji guessed.
"What are you looking at?" Hu Yi'er suddenly jumped out from the side of Lin Ji.
It turned out that Hu Yi'er had arrived early, but seeing Lin Ji pondering, he didn't bother him.
Lin Ji smiled and took Hu Yi'er over, and said, "Look, this is the country I laid for you." ”
