Chapter 22 is all playing tricks!

Go to Lu!

The thick tent curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a beard walked in with a pale face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the glassy lantern, the wick was blown by the wind and swayed, and the swaying light and shadow reflected on the woman's slightly worried face.

"Would you like something to eat?" said the woman, putting down the iron spoon she had been stirring in her hand, and the strong smell of grass and trees in the tongs filled the entire space in the tent.

"Supper?" The man casually placed the weapon beside him.

"I'm a little hungry," he said after entering the tent, first raising his hand to wipe his face, as if trying to reduce fatigue with this action. Then the man sat down opposite the woman. "It's late at night, I just went to the tent and didn't see those two boys."

The man refers to the setting sun and the bayar.

"I let them do what they want," the woman moved the tongs, and some of the men who didn't dare to look at them kept their heads down even when they were doing things.

She placed the pot on the stand beside her, and put a clean iron pot on the hearth. Scoop a little butter, scoop it into the hot iron pot, and then sprinkle in the spices and stir-fry until fragrant.

"Is it ......" The man lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking amid the clash of iron tools, and after a while, the woman heard a slight snoring sound.

Waiting for the sunset grandma to shake the man awake again, a plate of meat dishes with a slight white heat has been placed on the table. The golden brown rice that was deliberately left over for dinner was already emitting an enticing aroma on the plate at this time.

The man didn't speak, first picked up the milk wine on the table, and then held it up in front of the woman: "Do you want to have a little?" ”

Sunset's grandma took a sip and then quickly handed it back to the man. "How do you see how tired you are today," she asked in a low voice.

"This is the second change of the guard, and I have a hunch that war will break out soon. When I came back from earlier, I met Ili, and when I heard him tell me, I realized that these two boys had been chosen by the shaman to be the fuse of the war. ”

Darling was too like to explain a fact, and his tone was not hurried, and there was not the slightest fluctuation of feelings.

"What," Sunset's grandma was shaken violently, her beautiful eyes glared at her man, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

"For a fanatic believer like Ili, contributing to the tribe is the glory of a lifetime," the man poured a sip of wine, moistening his throat slightly.

"I know that too...... The reason why you support them is because you don't want the two boys to live in guilt and remorse for the rest of their lives, like me. ”

The man had passed the stormy moment, and as the pillar of the family, he knew that he could not fall. When he wept silently, he would never let the people around him see it.

"I'm sorry," the woman's eyes were already moist, and her voice fluctuated, and after she finished speaking, she covered her face and sobbed lowly.

After all, she is still a mother, and the thought that she pushed her child into the fire pit with her own hands makes her heart like a knife.

"People make their own decisions!"

Also in the tent, under the dim horse lamp, Li Xiao silently sighed in his heart at this time: "Besides, I already knew that I am not the kind of person who can be a good leader." ”

Li Xiao looked at the front, under the skeleton of the tent made of purple bamboo strips, there was a thick and soft tent liner, because it was not bad material, this tent was designed by him extremely exquisitely.

"Boss, do you think it's okay to change the carving like this?" At this time, Luo Rong lifted his face buried on the table.

He was holding something that looked like a seal, but it was a bit exaggerated, and it looked like a stereotype. After blowing the fresh sawdust on it, he stretched out the seal in front of Li Xiao.

"That's right," Li Xiao didn't take it, just looked at it in the other party's hand and said. Most of the content above was written by him, and he did not make any changes, but there were some changes in the pattern and article.

For example, an iconic stamp engraved on it was originally three trees against each other, forming a character 'Sen' similar to the oracle bone inscription of the previous life, but now it has become the style of a horse, which carries a tree on its back, and can only be seen as a rough idea because it is more abstract.

"Does the horse represent, is it your Hurina tribe," Li Xiao asked with his hands in his sleeves, supporting his body, and the old god was there.

"Yes boss," after speaking, Luo Rong also showed a look of embarrassment.

"Is it your own decision, or is it a decision made after consulting with the people around you?"

Li Xiao's words made Luo Rong's forehead sweat. He hurriedly wiped it off.

"I don't dare to deceive the boss, it's my own decision."

"Well, very good, in fact, you might as well listen to the opinions of your subordinates," Li Xiao couldn't help but mention the young patriarch: "When you are in a high position, you might as well learn from God." God makes his own decisions, it's called 'fate', and it's set for you......"

"But God can also give people enough flexibility. You might as well get everyone together, you already have a draft in mind, but the people under your hands don't necessarily really do exactly what you think, you have to know what they think, so you get people together and let them discuss it themselves. ”

Li Xiao played a few sign languages, put the four fingers of his right hand together, and tapped lightly on the table a few times, as if he 'clicked' a few people: "This person's thoughts are the same as 'me', I neither say support nor denial." I could hear other opinions. ”

“……”

"To be honest, if you can only hear your own voice, you won't be able to go long on this road, and the final outcome will definitely be a big loss."

"So, as long as he is a wise leader, he will definitely leave one or two opposing voices around him!"

"This is both a wake-up call and a weapon that can help you at a critical moment."

"Okay," Luo Rong listened carefully, but how much he understood, Li Xiao didn't know.

"Actually, most of these things can be understood after you have been a patriarch for decades; I may not understand it, but I will apply it naturally. I'll tell you now, and you can keep it in your heart. ”

"No problem, boss," Rong reassured.

Li Xiao only took the seal on the table at this time and looked at it.

After watching it for a while, he suddenly laughed, broke the somewhat dull situation, and only heard him say: "In our hometown, the most powerful thing is 'open mouth and scold'." ”

"Isn't scolding foul language," Luo Rong sat upright, but his face showed puzzlement.

"You're right, but if you open your mouth and scold, it also means that you say that your views are contrary to it, but if you scold for several years and decades, it still hasn't changed the situation. You will be able to know that either there is no way to change it, or that is the most reasonable, and if you change it, you will change it back. ”

"So it's still a good thing to curse?" If an ordinary person said this to him, Luo Rong would definitely feel that he was spreading crooked reasoning, but after Li Xiao said it, he had to make him think more.

“……”

"Actually, what's the difference between good and bad," Li Xiao looked at the other party and made an analogy: "For example, there was a very serious conflict between the two tribes. There were originally the same number of warriors in both of your tribes, but three of your tribes suddenly died, and you said that was a good thing or a bad thing. ”

"Of course that's a bad thing, and it's not certain that my clan will be defeated or lost," Luo Rong replied without thinking about it.

"But the same thing is a good thing for your hostile tribe," Li Xiao withdrew his hand and stuffed it back into his sleeve again.

At this time, he became serious: "In our hometown, this kind of thinking is called yin and yang. That is to say, there are two kinds of things in a thing, good and bad, because good and bad are relative, so I tell you, 'Look at it from someone else's point of view.'" It is to remind you to see the good and the bad side clearly. ”

"In the time since I leave here, you can pay more attention to this observation, and I believe you will see a lot of different things."

"The boss wants to get out of here?" There was a look of disappointment in Luo Rong's eyes that was difficult to hide.

The population of a small tribe like his is actually dangerous. Many of the functional NPCs in it have died, and even if they are stationed here, it is impossible for them to become a 'newbie village' in the future.

Luo Rong thought in his heart whether to wait for the boss to leave, and their clan still hid in the huge forest according to the original plan.

"It's not that I don't care about you," Li Xiao shook his head slightly, and he could guess the other party's thoughts. Although he never felt a sense of belonging to this world, he was like a passerby in a hurry.

But as he himself said, he also has a selfish side, and his desires, if they can be restrained by his own virtues, are also his driving force.

In Li Xiao's opinion, there is nothing wrong with relying on what he has now, and at the same time not violating his own heart, he will seek something for himself.

"To put it mildly, I can only take care of myself," Li Xiao has told people many times before that Guanyin Bodhisattva can only pray for his own blessings, and he told others that Guanyin is a god, and God is the one who blesses people.

But Li Xiao also knows that 'asking for more blessings for himself', so at this moment, he couldn't help but admonish Luo Rong: "I still remember the words of a senior to this day: 'Take precautions in advance, and don't regret it afterwards, this can be called happiness', you have to keep it in mind." ”

"......" The other party was stunned on the spot, his eyes looked at the void on the side, frowning, and making a thinking appearance.

Li Xiao smiled and did not interrupt the other party.

"Okay boss," seemed to have figured out the trick, and Luo Rong finally nodded, the other party's mentality was quite rare at his age.

The two chatted for a while, and finally somehow, they got to the plan that Li Xiao made for the tribe.

"Boss, I feel that something is wrong with some of the activities you plan to have, such as this horse race...... and to have recruits from other tribes settle in our tribe and become our inhabitants......"

Perhaps this was also one of the purposes for Luo Rong to come today, so his tone was a little serious at the moment.

"I know, I know the essence of this thing. Legend has it that in the beginning, your people migrated to the desert, and at first they all belonged to a medium-sized tribe and were ruled by three siblings......"

"But then a brother betrayed the two and wanted to take power alone, and the tribe was bloodied and torn apart, and the hatred between the tribes was established."

"The enmity of the ancestors is melted into the blood!" Luo Rong said with a stiff neck.

"Then you can't bear to watch your family's foundation ruined," Li Xiao asked with a smile.

"This ......," Luo Rong's tone became a little hesitant.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Li Xiao then said: "Luo Rong, I planned it this way after careful consideration. Of course, I have great respect for your folklore. ”

"But don't be blinded by hatred."

"As for the horse races you mentioned, there are other planned activities such as egg smashing, mount lottery and so on. I'm actually hoping that you will change it and form a new folklore. ”

"Can customs be changed?"

"Of course," Li Xiao smiled extremely kindly: "The customs of the entire tribe and even other tribes, or each place, in the final analysis, are just tricks. ”

"In my hometown, there used to be a popular saying called 'Awesome My Country'......" Li Xiao's tone was like that of a storyteller, and he also spoke with a little different intonation, with the somewhat ambiguous otherworldly language, so it sounded subdued.

"my pot?" Rong chewed hard.

"It's a mouthful, isn't it," Li Xiao didn't tease him, and folded his hands on the table.

"In fact, throughout the history of my hometown, there are many words like this, and there are many times when it will flourish, and there are too many people who follow it, and even go viral among some people......"

"Even in the end, it will affect the overall situation, and even affect a country."

"However, there will be prosperity and failure, and there will be destruction. Soon the word will be replaced by something new. ”

"Why is this happening, it comes down to ......"

When Li Xiao said the last sentence, his tone was word-by-word, and it seemed very rhythmic: "It's just that someone has played a new trick!" ”

He was quite touched by this.

Li Xiao went to Tibet once, went to Jiuzhaigou once, and then had no intention of going. It's not that I don't want to go, but I don't think it's interesting except to see the mountains and rivers.

Anyone who has been to Jiuzhaigou knows it. Generally, I will go to the 'collector' to play at night and experience the 'Tibetan' style.

But when you go inside, you will find that the adult men and women of those families rarely come forward.

It's a group of half-grown children who lead you there to sing and dance, make up some programs and play some tricks, and then interspersed with some folk customs. When necessary, let's have some meat jokes like marrying a daughter-in-law.

This kind of "experience", in retrospect, the most intuitive feeling is that you are being played. Especially when you've "interacted", you'll know it. And some people who see it more thoroughly will also find it boring.

Some people may say that Li Xiao criticizes the society, but there will always be opposing voices to stand up, if because of this, he does not insist on his own views, then he will only feel that he is weak and bullying in this life, and there is no hope at all.
