Chapter Eighty-Three: Counting the Rabbits
Chen Chao didn't point it out directly, but called out all the people, and then convenient for the little old man and his followers to go into the rabbit house to count the rabbits.
The little old man with the horns of a sheep was counting rabbits inside, while Chen Chao was counting people outside.
He made the people of the Grass Tribe stand in a row, and although they pretended to be casual on their faces, the eyes that were either lowered or rolled wildly still exposed them.
Especially the five vanguards yesterday didn't dare to look him in the eye at all.
He walked around the people of the grass tribe twice with his hands behind his back, and without animal skins to protect them from the cold, their lips were already purple in the cold wind, and their bodies were already shaking unconsciously.
Chen Chao took a look, in addition to the leader Grass and Grass Witch, there were also the two children they brought. The rest of the people are still there.
The little old man walked out after counting the rabbits, and he shook his head at Chen Chao, which meant that there were no fewer rabbits.
Chen Chao nodded at the little old man, then locked his eyes on the five members of the vanguard team, stretched out his hand and pointed, "You come with me, and the others eat normally." ”
The members of the five vanguard teams still couldn't understand what Chen Chao said, but they were still pushed forward by the old follower Gu, signaling them to follow the deputy leader.
The little old man with the horns of the sheep took a look and felt that something was wrong, obviously there were no rabbits, why did Chen Chao still look serious. Turning his head again, the rest of the people in the grass tribe were also crying with sad faces, no matter how dull the person was, it was time to react at this time, not to mention that he was not sluggish at all.
Chen Chao came to the house with five members of the vanguard team, followed by the little old man, who was known as the 'translation assistant'.
The members of the five vanguard were taken aback as soon as they stepped into the power center of the Tian Yuan tribe, this strange cave was so warm. Turning his head to look around, it looked like the rabbit house they lived in, but it was much bigger.
There was also a strange stone next to it, which actually grew so flat. And the energy is constantly emitting heat. Damn, did this tribe get the treasure of heaven and earth?
There are also several layers of animal skins on this stone, and it is estimated that the three leaders of the tribe slept on this warm stone.
If you think about it, if you can sleep on it in winter, it's really comfortable...
Just as they had entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, they heard two slightly majestic coughs, and they realized that the leader of this tribe was already sitting on the flat big stone, and there was another person who looked like a leader lying in the animal skin next to him.
Chen Chao asked in a deep voice, "Which of you killed the leader of the Grass Tribe and the witch?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the little old man and Yuan, who was lying on the bed, were taken aback, and they could now understand some simple sentences. But the amount of information contained in this sentence is so great that they can't help but be surprised.
The five people who couldn't understand Mandarin looked at Chen Chao in a daze, not realizing that their murder had been exposed.
In fact, Chen Chao was not sure, because if it was just these five people who killed the leader of their tribe, it would not be impossible, as long as they were deceived out.
But the smell of blood in the rabbit house is not like it was killed and dragged back outside. And this is not necessary, why, kill the leader and witch of his own tribe and drag it back to the tribe people to pay respects?
It is not possible or necessary.
Unless the grass tribe has developed something similar to religious beliefs, what mystical rituals are performed after each killing.
But this is unlikely, because their language has not yet developed enough to support the whole tribe to communicate something that cannot be seen.
Yesterday, when the little old man was communicating with them, Chen Chao observed carefully. For this tribe that suddenly appeared, he can be said to be very concerned.
However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, and everything must be determined after understanding the specific things.
The rabbit house is supposed to be the first crime scene, but if that's the case, then the tribe is a little scary. That means that everyone is doing it, and everyone is an accomplice.
When the little old man reacted, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and began to translate these five people in real time. He had heard some of their pronunciations before. And the word 'chief', which is used very frequently, was also memorized by him.
While learning the pronunciation of the local words of the 'leader' of the grass tribe, the little old man raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, and then pointed to these five people, which means, 'Which of you killed the leader of the grass tribe and the witch?' ’
There was a hint of panic on the faces of the five people, but because they were mentally prepared, they didn't show too much in their movements.
They also didn't think about how the people of this tribe could know so quickly that the leader and the witch had been killed. The others before the Ming Ming Cao tribe told them that the leader and the witch wanted to run back to the tribe, and only after they returned from throwing their bodies did they know that the people in the tribe had already said this to others.
The previous ideas are no longer needed, and we have to think of a new set of statements.
Before the old follower Gu arrived, they had discussed with the tribesmen what to say if asked.
Unexpectedly, they didn't ask them at all, but directly asked which of them killed the leader and the witch. Don't... Was someone watching them all the time yesterday?
No... No, they confirmed, there was no one around yesterday!
Don't...
Can this tribe know all the things they want to know?
Seeing that a few of them had not spoken, the little old man with the horns of the sheep repeated the action just now, and his tone became more severe.
Only then did these five react and hurriedly explained to themselves. With yesterday's exchange experience, the little old man quickly understood what they meant.
It turned out that the leader of their tribe and the witch wanted to steal all the rabbits and then take the whole tribe and run away with them. But none of them were willing to go, and in the end, during the argument, the leader and the witch accidentally fell and hit a stone in the throat. They were afraid that the people of the Tianyuan tribe would be angry when they saw the rabbit house dirty tomorrow, so they secretly threw away the corpses of the leader and the witch.
Finally, they also emphasized that the leader and the witch want to kill the entire Tian Yuan tribe and steal your food and animal skins.
The lie may be a little lame, but there must be a part of the truth that is true, otherwise it would be difficult to express something they have not seen in such a short period of time, with the other party's vocabulary so weak.
Chen Chao then asked, "Then why don't you come and tell us?" ”
The little old man and the five-man vanguard made another comparison, which probably means that the leader and the witch are about to do it, and we have also gone to you, and your cave entrance is blocked by stones.
We can't help it, we want to go back and persuade the leader and the witch. But they didn't agree in any way, and in the end they accidentally fell during the argument, and they themselves knocked their throats to the stones.
Chen Chao found that they were very insistent on the idea that the leader and the witch himself had slammed their throats into the stone. It is estimated that the murder weapon is a sharp stone or something, but it may also be a communication problem.
Besides, the rabbit house was full of hay, and the small raised stones had been disposed of at the beginning of the construction of the house, and where did the stones come from for their chiefs and witches to accidentally knock on?
Yuan and the little old man understood what happened, but they were a little disapproving. Not only that, but they also approve of the tribe's approach.
In their hearts, this kind of person who wants to steal the rabbit of his own tribe is better dead. This small tribe should be glad that it has solved the problem on its own. If they really stole the rabbit, the fate of these two people would be worse than death.
Whether this tribe can exist or not is not certain.
As for the people who want to kill the entire Tian Yuan tribe and steal our food and animal skins?
It can't be, how could such a thing happen. A small tribe is a small tribe, and I have never seen it in the market at all. I don't know how we killed wolves before.
Yuan and the little old man are now very confident in the value of their weapons, and fighting such a small tribe of twenty people is not a small matter of sprinkling water.
