Higg poured a glass of wine and smiled but didn't answer, how could Higg tell them about such a life-and-death event, and involving many grievances and secrets of Middle-earth?

"Okay, I'll immediately arrange someone to arrange your friends properly, rest assured, they won't be in any danger!" Without Higg's answer, Haynes sat back in his seat and said, "Don't worry, the animatic creatures of the Endless Swamp will not attack strangers at will, and those ordinary creatures can also be dealt with by friends who want to come to Mr. Higg!" It's just that I'm still curious, why would the monitor lizard attack Mr. Higg for no reason? ”

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask Elder!" "If it weren't for the deliberate actions of the girls, I really don't know where I got the monitor lizard." However, I don't know the girls, I have no grudges, and I have no reason to attack me as a stranger, at most I just drive me away! ”

"Okay, this matter will be investigated clearly!" "Mr. Higg will stay here for the time being, and he may walk around as he pleases, and this will talk to the people!" When Mr. recovers from his injury, Mr. can stay at will! Arrange a lodging for Mr. Higg, and send someone to inform the chiefs of the clan to come to the Hall of Elders tomorrow, and I have something to discuss with them!" ”

"Yes, Elder!" Iona and the three girls replied.

……

Finally, there is no need to live in a cell-like room, a delicately furnished and warm cabin, in addition to exquisite ornaments everywhere, there are all kinds of flowers and aquatic plants inserted in the vase, obviously just inserted, and the wall is also hung with a variety of monitor lizards, flying dragons handmade pattern embroidery, lifelike, at a glance is the room where women live. Higg didn't mind, the whole tribe was full of women, and of course only the women's rooms were for themselves.

"Mr. Higg, you haven't eaten in a few days, would you like to bring some?" Iona asked softly.

Higg shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not very interested in your vegetarian food, just send some wine!" ”

"Hmph, do you like to eat or not, it's not me who is hungry!" Iona was already annoyed by what had just happened, but now Higg didn't appreciate it, and didn't care if he was hungry or not, "Let's go!" ”

After saying that, he really left the room with the three girls.

Higg didn't care, he was interested in the witch village. This is a very special stockade, the whole stockade is located on a swamp, but it is more than two meters above the ground. Huge vines stretched out from the swamp, like pillars or stakes, growing to more than two meters tall and thick vines, divided into many branches of different thicknesses, long branches extended and grew horizontally, no one knew how long these branches grew, countless vine branches, woven into a huge horizontal net, under the support of those vine stakes, people can walk on it calmly, completely isolated from the swamp. The whole house of the village is built with wood on these hundreds of square kilometers of vine nets woven by countless vines, it can be seen that these vines are very old, I don't know how many thousands of years have survived, there are always dead vines, but new vines will also grow, endless.

Higg has never seen such a spectacular village, a kind of quaint, natural beauty, showing the infinite power and charm of nature, which is different from the architecture of the forest country, although the forest country is also integrated with nature, with trees and various plants, stones to build cities, houses, but the pursuit of luxury life in the forest country, destined to have more artificial elements, compared to the primitive and rough here, more cheesy artificiality.

What Higg finds more fresh is that these vines come in many colors, black, gray, green, red, yellow, blue, and purple...... It complements the clothes worn by Iona and the others.

Although they are in the same swamp, there is no conflict between man and nature, and the plants and animals under the tribal village can still survive and live in their own way, while people are more than two meters above the ground, completely undisturbing all creatures, and man and nature do not interfere with each other, and are perfectly integrated.

……

Higg wandered around under the strange gaze of the witch people, everything made him curious, and there was an inexplicable kindness, and now that there was no danger, he could completely relax and recuperate.

A flock of storks flew through the sky, not afraid of people at all, Higg condensed a few pieces of ice in his hand, and shot towards the flock of storks, and the four storks fell from the air screaming, all of which were caught by Higg with his hands.

He was so hungry that he hadn't eaten or drunk for five or six days, and although he could go without food or drink for more than ten days, there was no problem, but now he was injured and had serious blood loss, and supplementing food was very good for his wound recovery.

Found a corner where no one was, the four storks were quickly cleaned up skillfully by Higg, found some dry firewood, lit a fire, put the stork on it and began to roast, the sky gradually darkened, looking at the stork heron on the fire, the fragrance was fragrant, the hungry Higg couldn't help swallowing his saliva, took one off the shelf, completely ignored the bubbling oil and hot mouth, gobbled it up, and relished.

"What are you doing?" Iona's angry voice came from behind him, startling Higg.

"Miss Iona, you're too unkind!" Higg, who was sitting on the ground, looked up at Iona and said, "I've been working hard for a long time, and finally it's just baked, and you just appeared, didn't you hide next to me before, and didn't come out until I baked it?" With that, he took a stork from the shelf and reached out and handed it to Iona.

"Don't you know that our people don't eat meat? How dare you roast a bird in the stockade! Iona trembled with anger and tossed aside the stork that Higg had handed over, "You wait to be criticized by the whole clan!" ”

"Clan-wide criticism?" Higg smiled, "You can't eat meat, that's the rule of your people, it's your people who are restrained, can you restrain me?" Don't worry, it's just you and me here, everyone sees it, you eat some too, I promise I won't say it! ”

"In short, you can't kill and eat meat here!" Iona said, "Eat, leave the stockade and eat!" ”

"You're so unreasonable!" Higg continued to laugh, "I'm so badly injured, if you don't give me some meat to recover, you won't let me do it myself, do you have to entertain guests like this?" I didn't expect Daniel's people to be too picky, and I made such a friend to him, which is really unladylike! ”

"Give!" Iona put down the two jars and asked suspiciously, "Are you really here to heal your injuries?" ”

"Otherwise, you can heal my leg?" Higg opened a wine jar, took a sip, felt that the wine was not bad, and said with a smile, "If you can't cure it, I will take meat as medicine to eat, and you still have to take care of it, then it is too lenient, this is too impersonal, too domineering, right?" ”

"Eat it!" Iona whispered, "I won't tell you about it!" ”

"It's really boring to drink and masturbate alone!" Higg handed Iona another jar and said, "You're not going to drink even wine, are you?" Here you go, count me in for a treat! ”

"It's obviously my wine, why are you treating?" Iona took it angrily, skillfully slapped open the seal, took a big sip, and said, "Next time you eat meat, stay away, don't let me see it!" ”

Sig ate and drank with a mouthful of wine and meat, not bothering to talk to Iona, his mouth was so greasy that Iona drooled and his stomach growled uncontrollably.

Higg smiled and said, "It can't be that you elders sent you to get me drunk and let you come and probe me, right?" ”

Iona sneered: "It seems that you asked me to stay and drink, if you don't stay, I will leave a long time ago, what should I probe you for?" ”

"There are some things you still don't want to know!" Higg sighed, "Such a beautiful life, such a perfect fusion of heaven, earth, man, and beast, what a carefree day!" ”

"Carefree?" Iona scoffed, "You're arrogant, you're too big!" You only live in your world, thinking that only you deserve the troubles of the world, and that the troubles of others are not worth mentioning, right? A rat entered a very deep rice bowl, and the rice in the rice jar was eaten until death, and he couldn't finish it. The other mouse outside the rice bowl was very envious of the mouse who had entered the rice tank, because he thought that the mouse had endless food and had no troubles, unlike it that it would always have the trouble of starvation outside. But the mouse trapped in the rice tank doesn't think so, it envies the mouse outside very much, thinking that it has freedom, which is a carefree and beautiful life! They are not one-dimensional beings, and of course they don't understand each other's troubles and sorrows, and they always envy others for being carefree! ”

Higg nodded, and said very ashamedly, "Okay, I said wrong, punish yourself!" Your rat theory, you can drink alcohol! After speaking, he raised his head and poured a few large mouthfuls.

"There are some things that we may not be able to investigate!" Iona said, "The elder doesn't need to send me to ask you anything, just like you won't ask about the Wu Clan, I believe that if you want to know, one day you will find out, and you want to know from the other party, it's just to increase mutual trust and reduce some trouble!" ”

"You seem to have a lot of troubles!" Higg had finished eating one of the storks, then he picked up another one from the shelf, bit it, and said, "People are always solving their troubles, and they are constantly getting them, and when they turn around, they find that the more troubles you solve, the more troubles you add, and in the end, you will find that you will never solve as many troubles as you have added, until you die, and all your troubles will be zero, just like when you were born." In fact, it is better for people not to solve any troubles at the beginning, let it be, and there are a lot less troubles in the world, but who can see through and see clearly! It seems that I have caused you troubles, what can I do to help you solve that part of the troubles caused by me? ”

"It's a foregone conclusion, you can't help me!" Iona took a few sips of wine and said, "You killed the monitor lizard I raised!" ”

"I killed your monitor lizard?" Higg wondered, "Your monitor lizards bit me, but I just froze them!" Besides, it's just a monitor lizard, it's worth it? ”

"You don't understand!" Iona seemed to be a little drunk, and said, "The festival of all nations is still a few days away, where will I have time to train a new monitor lizard, what will I take to participate in the competition of the festival of all nations!" Although the monitor lizard that petrified you is not dead now, it has no spirituality, and every monitor lizard that uses the petrification function will become an ordinary monitor lizard, and then slowly die! ”

"The festival of all nations?" Higg asked in surprise, "What is the Festival of All Nations?" ”
