Chapter 79: Fighting Beasts
Regarding the affairs of the Vulcan tribe, the tribesmen don't know much because they don't know much about all kinds of cognitions, and they don't know much about the so-called fire here, but they are afraid that they won't see any important people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Bihu felt that he had lost face because he was almost murdered here, and he rarely mentioned it. In fact, Bihu rarely mentions the past, and as long as Wang Chuan doesn't ask about many things, he won't talk about them. Some don't ask about it, such as whether he has any family......
Wang Chuan only knew that the Vulcan tribe was a tribe where witches existed in all the surrounding tribes. According to Wang Chuan's understanding, the so-called witch is the general existence of a spiritual leader. And the reason why the Vulcan tribe has witches is because they have a complete totem theory. Their totem is, of course, fire. They believe that all people are born of fire, and that fire gives all things in the world all the power and is the master of everything. It can bring blessings and curses, and a witch is the one who has mastered blessings and curses.
These understandings are synthesized by Wang Chuan after synthesizing the stories of the tribe, Bihu and the three people who were exchanged for the winter bear, and eliminating all kinds of mysteries and groundless speculations. Judging from the narration of these three parties alone, it is 108,000 miles away from the origin of the matter, and it is even more ghostly and legendary than listening to mythological stories.
The great witch called by Bihu should be the witch of the Vulcan tribe, but I don't know who this river marrow is?
Wang Chuan asked, and Bihu Cai said fiercely: "This is one of their elders. If we had the chance, we could have killed him, too. ”
These words made Wang Chuan have two questions, one of which is: "Do they have witches and elders?" ”
Bihu said: "They have witches, elders, and leaders. There were several elders who listened to witches. And the princes also listened to the witches, and there were two princes, morning and dusk. ”
"Why should the river marrow be damned?" Wang Chuan then asked.
Bihu turned his head to look around, and saw that someone was coming not far away, so he hesitated a little and said, "I'll talk about this later." Or don't talk to you. ”
As he spoke, a middle-aged man with a large piece of hair burned off his forehead stepped forward with the few people who had just been beaten. The beaten person also stared secretly, as if he had found a backer.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a full-length animal skin with long fur and a wide scaly python belt around his waist. At first glance, you can tell that it is an identity, and if the hair in front of the forehead is not burned, it may be more majestic. However, Wang Chuan followed his head and looked at the men behind him, and after finding that all of them had their hair burned by the fire, he understood when he thought of their totem that this might be part of their blessing of fire.
The middle-aged man walked down the hillside with a black face all the way, walked closer, looked at the river tribe carefully, and saw that they neatly cut off the hair on their foreheads, a color of crocodile skin vest, and when many people were still carrying bows and arrows, the expression on their faces was like turning over animal skins and put away their black faces, and finally when they saw the baby elephant behind the crowd, they also showed a bit of flattering smile on their faces, and said to the tiger: "Better than the tiger, you didn't even come back from the snow when you went, and thought you had already left." Why did you come back at this time, these heroes looked at each other, where did they come from? ”
Bihu said: "Lao Tzu asked these cubs to call you Dawu and River Marrow, but people didn't call them and didn't say anything, and they didn't even report our names to you?" Do you want me to beat them up again? ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped and explained: "Don't be impulsive, it's because I'm in a hurry and didn't hear clearly." Don't blame them. The Great Witch is now busy treating people with illnesses and can't get out. The river marrow has been feeling cold for the past few days, and is still lying in the pile of animal skins. In the tribe, I am on the same level as the river marrow, if you forget my name, just call me Liangsu. ”
Bihu said: "Then I will tell you again, I am Bihu, and now I am the leader of the River Tribe, and I am here to participate in the market." ”
The elder named Liang Su was surprised and said: "The river department didn't come to change the fire in the winter, and I thought they were extinct, but I didn't expect it to fall under the hands of the tiger hero." ”
Bihu said proudly: "Not only the River Tribe, but also the Dolphin Tribe is now under my command." ”
Liang Su didn't know about the mammoth attacking the dolphin tribe, but according to the data he knew before, there were more than 100 people who appeared under Bihu's hands, which was not a small tribe, and he couldn't help but be a little more respectful than the tiger: "I said that the dolphin tribe didn't come to change the fire before the winter, and it turned out to be under the control of the leader of Bihu." Disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
Bihu said: "So, can I participate in this fair?" ”
The winter bazaar is no better than usual. Because of the ice and snow in winter, if the small tribe has problems foraging for food and keeping warm, it is impossible to break the ice and tread the snow to participate in this market. Those who can come to this market have become the more powerful tribes around. In other words, there is also a threshold for participating in this fair. Those with poor strength may be kicked out even if they come. It's like some of the later forums.
Liang Su hurriedly promised, led the way in front, and asked the people around him to find an open space on the hillside to settle Bihu and his party.
Walking up the mountain, Wang Chuan found that there were a lot of livestock tied between the cracks in the stones of some tents. After a closer look, I realized that it was not suitable for livestock, and it should be a herbivorous beast. There are sturdy goats, sika deer, horned deer with horns like two huge shovels, and a bison with curved horns and long hair.
The animals, apparently not seeing so many people, were all irritable, occasionally striking with their horns and landing on the ground with their hooves. Therefore, they are all tied up by all kinds of flowers. The most exaggerated is the bison. It was tied in the middle by two thigh-thick tree trunks more than ten meters long. Layers of hemp rope wrapped its horns and body firmly around the trunk. The four ends of the trunk are tied to the rocks on both sides to prevent the oxen from turning left and right. This made Wang Chuan amazed, although this method was stupid, it was definitely effective.
Liang Su explained: "Every winter market, we have the item of fighting beasts. In the past, it was only bigger than whose prey. However, the bravery of the tribe is less and less visible than the dead thing, which is the greater than who catches the living thing. This time the beast fight, it seems that the tiger leader won. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the baby elephant and smiled as if he had won the competition.
The Vulcan tribe spent a lot of thought this year, and several people died before they caught a live horned deer, thinking that they could take the limelight. However, a tribe called Xiniu brought a larger bison over. Seeing that the Xiniu tribe was going to win, their people raised their chins proudly. At this time, the River tribe got such an angang, how happy is this?
The original size of the baby elephant was not small, and during this time, it was provided with good food and drink, and the long hair was softer than that of the bison, so it looked much larger than the bison.
Liang Su is just a little weird, when other people's bison got it, it was only a dozen or so people who wasted a lot of effort to get it, why did the Angang of this river tribe get it with a child sitting on it? Could it be that this is more powerful than a tiger and has the power to summon like a witch? He really couldn't figure it out.
The people of the River Tribe looked at each other a little. This is the middle subcar. Wang Chuan felt that this was the same as the fact that the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to a musician in later generations. We're just pulling things like an elephant, and who knows you still have this kind of beast competition here where you don't have to do anything but look at the size of the body?
However, everyone still understands the truth, in this era, whoever can hunt the big prey means which tribe is stronger, which is an obvious thing. Perhaps because winter keeps meat fresh for a long time, some tribes may save the biggest game they hunt in a winter and put it to the test. When everyone's strength reaches a certain level, the same result may appear in the end. That's when you think of making the game more difficult: let's play catch. Because it is more difficult to catch alive than to hunt.
In a sense, this could also be the source of the development of animal husbandry. Because the one who catches it alive must not only be alive when he is caught, but also ensure that he does not starve to death after getting here. It's best not to go hungry and lose weight.
It was noon when the tribesmen came to the Vulcan tribe. Elder Liang Su said something and left. The people cleared the snow and set up tents in the allotted open space to search for firewood.
While everyone was busy, a team of men and horses dressed in various colorful animal skins came down from the mountain, watching the various animals tied to the roadside along the way. In the end, he stayed at the bottom of the river tribe and commented on the baby elephant with various accents. After some discussion, they affirmed that the baby elephant was the winner of this fight. As soon as one of the leader-like men announced, they took out all kinds of bone and stone tools that they had with them and pounced on the baby elephant.
"Copy guy!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Chuan shouted and raised the crossbow first. The people of the tribe who were busy with their work also took up arms in an instant. The two groups formed a confrontation in an instant.
