714 Give way
The mighty procession continued to move forward, and Jiang Xiao saw a place that could be called a "tribe".
A fence made of trees, clinging to the mountain behind it, circles a huge semicircular camp.
Within the tribe, the tents were erected high, and there were branches and special ornaments hanging in front of the tents, most of which were mainly skeletons.
The savages have a clear division of labor, and they are all busy with their own things.
This tribe was so big that Jiang Xiao seemed to have walked into another giant country.
The savage team at the door did not stop everyone, but their eyes looked at Jiang Xiao in the team with great curiosity.
Walking into the tribe, the wild people are polishing stone tools.
In front of the campfire, there were some female savages cooking meat in stone pots, and some female savages seemed to be scalding the fur of ape ghosts.
Jiang Xiao didn't know exactly what they were going to do, and the ape ghost skins were hung on a ripped line to dry after they were scalded.
Jiang Xiao noticed the key point, all the wild people here were wearing clothes, especially the female wild people, who were all wrapped tightly.
Jiang Xiao didn't say that it was bad, but he thought it was abnormal, and it seemed that someone ordered it and forcibly demanded it.
One by one, the savage female bows quietly left, and in the end, only the savage witch who was holding He Chongyang in her arms and Jiang Xiao who followed behind them were left.
The three of them walked for a long time, almost through the tribe, and finally came to the cave at the foot of the mountain.
"This is the home of the chief's grandfather." He Chongyang was lying in the arms of the savage witch, his little head protruding from the witch's shoulder, and beckoned to Jiang Xiao again and again, "My mother said that the chief grandfather is the smartest, and you have to listen to him." ”
"Huh." Jiang Xiao looked at the savage guards on both sides, one of the guards went in to report, and after a while, he ran out and let everyone in.
Jiang Xiao followed the footsteps of the savage witch and stepped in.
After passing through the cave tunnel, Jiang Xiao and the others came to the "hall", which is different from the torches inserted in the wall in the tunnel, in this hall, there are stone pillars standing everywhere, and on the stone pillar is a disc, in which flames are burning, which has a very modern art feeling.
Inside the hall, there was a stone seat, and in front of the seat, there was also a skin of the ape ghost king, which made Jiang Xiao feel like he had entered a bandit's den.
This old man has some artistic taste, huh?
Sitting on the stone seat was an old man, his purple eyes were a little cloudy, not as strange as those young and middle-aged savages.
He had a brown headband tied around his forehead, and his white hair was tied into two large braids, which were draped over his left and right shoulders in a "double ponytail" posture......
At this moment, Jiang Xiao felt the fear of being dominated by the "double ponytail".
From now on, how should he face the cute girl with a double ponytail?
"Hah! Good afternoon! Old man He Chongyang waved his hand and said, struggling to jump from the arms of the savage witch, but was stopped.
The savage witch tightened He Chongyang in her arms, and communicated something with the old savage in the seat.
They spoke the language of the Savage Clan, which Jiang Xiao couldn't understand at all.
"Don't, don't! He's a good guy! It's a good guy! He Chongyang suddenly shouted loudly, startling Jiang Xiao.
Old Savage: "#¥@%!" ”
He Chongyang: "#¥%@! ”
Old Savage: "¥#@¥." ”
A layer of mist rose in He Chongyang's beautiful big eyes, and his emotions came very quickly, and he struggled to jump out of the arms of the savage witch, pointing at the old savage: "You! You ......"
The savage witch hurriedly squatted down and whispered something to He Chongyang.
"Yikes!" He Chongyang stomped his feet vigorously, "You are all bad people!" Both! ”
As he spoke, He Chongyang turned his head and ran away, and there seemed to be a hint of choking in his voice.
"Little Chongyang." Jiang Xiao turned around and was about to follow......
"Hello, human." On the huge stone pedestal, the "double ponytail" spoke, "It's been a long time since humans have visited here. ”
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the old savage.
What is the word is round!?
The old savage smiled, the folds of his face piled up, and to be honest, his face was a little ugly.
He said, "You can call me Blue, and I wish Madam to give me my name." ”
Blue?
You're not blue either, are you?
Jiang Xiao blinked, looking Lao Blue up and down.
"Huh." Blue smiled and was very friendly, "When I first met Ms. Zhu Yue, she was chased by the ape ghosts with a crying baby in her arms, and my people and I drove those ape ghosts away. In our language, the word 'offensive' is pronounced like 'blue'. ”
Blue demonstrated on the spot: "Bu Zhu means to charge and kill." ”
Jiang Xiao frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Chongyang is like this?" ”
Lao Blue didn't have a stubble at all, and there was a hint of memory in his cloudy eyes, and he said to himself: "Ms. Zhu Yue is He Chongyang's mother. That encounter was also an accident, if there was no baby in her arms at that time, maybe we wouldn't have rescued her, maybe there would be no later story. ”
Jiang Xiaoqiang suppressed his doubts, and he also knew in his heart that He Chongyang would not be in any danger here.
"Ms. Zhu Yue......" Blue leaned his elbow on the armrest of the stone seat, and the old palm pressed his face to the face, and said softly, "She has brought us more civilization, she has taught us human language and writing, she has taught us to arrange troops, some interesting schemes, she has brought us a lot of valuable knowledge. ”
Blue's body leaned forward slightly, his elbows were on his knees, he lowered his head, and looked at Jiang Xiao with huge and cloudy eyes: "Ms. Zhu Yue, let's remember one sentence: what distinguishes people from animals is wisdom, and what distinguishes people from humans is wisdom." ”
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and the curvature of the circle mask was also a little weird.
Blue looked at Jiang Xiao quietly: "She taught us to delay gratification. ”
Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned: "What are you?" ”
Jiang Xiao looked at Blue stupidly...... Why don't you teach me, what is the satisfaction?
Blue continued: "This place is what she calls the Birch Forest, what she calls a paradise.
Surrounded by mountains, the mountains are so high that few other populations jump off here. There is everything we need to survive, food, water, and a stable living environment. ”
Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "That's not what I saw, the ape ghost clan almost wiped you out." ”
Blue shook his head: "The Ape Ghost King was just an accident, maybe it strayed here with its population and led the local ape ghost population." As for the native ape population, they are creatures that we have free-range. ”
Jiang Xiao: ???
Blue said, "We don't have the ability to keep apes and ghosts in captivity for the time being, so we can only keep them free. Ms. Zhu Yue told us that apes and ghosts are our stable source of food, and even if we are enemies of life and death, we cannot destroy them all at once in this relatively closed environment.
As soon as the ape and ghost population in the birch forest dies out, and farming is no longer sufficient for our survival needs, civil strife will occur, and I lead a tribe of thousands of people, and I know our daily consumption. ”
Jiang Xiao was stunned in his heart and nodded silently.
Blue continued: "Ms. Zhu Yue taught us not to pick up the fruit, eat it in one bite, but let the magical soil and the fruit react, and after a few months, there will be more fruit.
She told us not to fill the fish in the river with light at once, and to get a little, the river will give us more. ”
At this moment, Jiang Xiao found himself being taught by the savages......
Blue: "My tribe is thriving, thriving, and living a safe life in this birch forest. Now, human, tell me what reason you use to impress me and keep you alive, an outsider. ”
Jiang Xiao: ???
Blue leaned on his bone cane and slowly stood up: "Everything I said is to express my good feelings for human beings to you, and also to tell you how precious and difficult my tribe has come to this day and developed to the present.
But Ms. Zhu Yue told me not to trust human beings easily, I have high respect for her, but I don't want to judge you easily, I don't want to make decisions easily. ”
Jiang Xiao looked at Blue silently, and knew in what direction this topic would go.
Blue: "You saved He Chongyang, saved many of our clansmen, and killed the Ape and Ghost King, this is your actual action, I am willing to pay tribute and gratitude to you, so, human, tell me, you will always survive here, right?" You won't leave. ”
Jiang Xiao, who has the skill of perceiving stars, has already keenly noticed that a large number of savage warriors have gathered outside the entrance of the cave.
"Huh." Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "Are you worried that I will go out and expose this paradise of yours?" What's in it for me? ”
Blue: "Ms. Zhu Yue said that human beings are complex creatures with high intelligence. This planet is more dangerous than your homeland. All humans who set foot on this planet will do whatever it takes to survive. ”
"I saved you savages and killed the ape and ghost king, if you are not satisfied with this nomination, I don't know what to say." Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice, "Besides, you really think you can stop me." ”
"Ms. Zhu Yue is right, I have never been able to grasp the scale of communication with people, after all, I am facing my people." Blue sighed softly, "I'm sorry that my words have made you turn against me. Also, can you explain to me in a moment what a 'petition' is. ”
"But this is my homeland," said Ms. Zhu Yue, and if there is a certain group of people who want to survive here, then this birch forest will be a perfect place to survive.
Someday, someone will find out about this place, someone will take over it. I hope you stay here forever and you'll be treated like a hero. ”
"Huh." Jiang Xiao pouted and smiled, he really didn't know what to say.
Blue looked serious: "For you, maybe there is only disdain." For us, the birch forest is the foundation of our existence. We think from different starting points, and our concerns are fundamentally different, and human beings have a high level of intelligence, and I believe you can understand me. ”
"It's interesting for you old man to speak." Jiang Xiao waved his hand, "Let me tell you two facts. ”
Blue: "Huh? ”
Jiang Xiao raised a finger: "I can deceive you, I said that I will stay here all my life, who will you send to guard me every day?"
I'm an outlaw, and I'm no trace of it, your warriors have seen me perform this star skill, and you can't even keep apes and ghosts in captivity, what can you do to stop me? ”
Blue: "......"
Jiang Xiao raised his second finger: "Second, have you heard of the white ghost witch?" It is also a creature that lives on the land of Bac Giang. ”
Blue nodded.
Jiang Xiao said: "It has a star skill called bait. And I, on the other hand, am the bait! ”
Blue: !!
Jiang Xiao said: "My body is not here, as long as I think, the location of your home has been exposed now, do you know what I mean?" ”
Blue's breathing grew rapid.
Jiang Xiao opened his mouth and said, "You don't have what I want here, and there will be no entanglement of interests between us." You don't have to pray for me to be merciful, the only thing you need to pray for now is that I am a good person. ”
With that, Jiang Xiao walked to the tunnel and said, "We have all said it straight, what to do, you have to think about it yourself." Now, I hope to focus more time and energy on Xiao Chongyang.
Also, I'm a bait, don't tell anyone, otherwise, we're all prone to accidents. ”
Behind him, Blue's gloomy face seemed to be able to condense water.
Jiang Xiao walked towards the outside of the tunnel, but his footsteps stopped, and said, "By the way, your hero, if you want to eat grilled fish tonight, remember to arrange it." ”
Blue: "......"
Jiang Xiao walked out of the tunnel step by step, and at the entrance of the cave, he saw a group of huge savage warriors.
In the distance, Blue's voice came from the cave: "¥#@ (Get way)." ”
