Chapter 1024: Inside the Tribe
Those who pass the trial are called warriors, and only warriors are eligible to wear such a coat of arms on their bodies. In addition, there are very few coats of arms on the average person, and only the strongest warriors can have them on their bodies. Heraldry is a symbol of strength, but also a sign of status, and a worship of ancestors. The trio firmly believed that they were the descendants of the gods, and that the appearance of the gods was the ones they had tattooed on their bodies, and that the coat of arms would give them strength and courage.
When it comes to the gods, Yuan Dou doesn't have a good impression, and this is also the purpose of their visit, so they decide to find out. The three of Yuan Dou decided to follow the Shihua sisters and brothers and go to their tribe to have a look.
The three of them followed behind Sister Shihua, passed through several juniors, and bypassed a canyon to their tribe. The tribe was built on a hill and was surrounded by a stout wooden stake fence on the top of the hill, and the fence made of logs protected the tribe so well that it was impossible to see the tribe even from the outside.
The gates of the tribe were guarded, and the burly warriors stood on either side of the gate with spears in their hands, and they had tattoos on the body of a human head and a snake, and they were recognized by the tribe as warriors. At this time, the gate was closed, and Shihua wanted to push the door in, but was stopped by the warrior guarding the door.
"Who are they, they don't seem to be from our tribe?" One of the warriors asked.
"It's okay, they saved us, not bad guys!" Shihua said.
"Aren't they from other tribes?" The warrior nodded to the other companion, then stepped out of the way, "They're dressed strangely, aren't they locals?" ”
"Well, they're from outside!" Shihua said.
"You guys go in," the two of them opened the door for Shihua, "don't make trouble!" ”
The three of Yuan Dou entered the tribe smoothly, and the interior of the tribe was very different from their imagination. Yuan Dou originally thought that nature was admired here, and the living environment should be very primitive, but the situation was not like that at all. The houses here are delicate and sturdy, the roads are smooth and clear, and the whole layout is well organized, giving the feeling of a resort close to nature. Shihua took the three of them all the way up the stone road, and from time to time they would meet the people of the tribe, at this time they would greet each other, and they seemed extremely harmonious, and at the same time, the people of the tribe were also very friendly to the three of Yuandou, and people did not show disgust or rejection of them.
After walking a few steps, a crowd suddenly gathered in front of them, and Yuan Dou asked curiously, "What is that, what are they doing?" ”
"The annual festival is almost here, and people are enjoying it!" Shihua said, and the two younger brothers couldn't help but squeeze into the crowd, and they couldn't wait to watch the performance.
"Is that singing?" Lian Yan asked in surprise. A stage was erected in the center of the crowd, on which a woman in a distinctive costume was playing, while the people in the audience cheered and laughed.
Shihua glanced nervously at her younger brothers, but these were two younger brothers who had already disappeared into the crowd, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze and explained, "This is a characteristic of the tribe, people will sing about their experiences this year, and tell their stories in this way, which happens to be more interesting now." ”
"I see, it's very interesting!" Yuan Dou said.
"The festivities will last until the cold night, and there are still days to go, so you can come at any time if you like," said Shika, "and now I will take you to the eldest grandmother, and she will arrange a place for you to stay." ”
"Great grandmother? What kind of person is she? Yuan Dou asked.
"The big grandmother is very nice, don't worry!" Shihua said.
Then the group continued to climb up, and soon encountered a crowd of people, this time it seemed to be a rough activity of men, the men gathered together to drink and chat, laughing from time to time, of course, there were still women, but they were all warriors with heraldry.
"Yo, ten flowers, the harvest has been good recently, do you want to have a drink and talk to us!" A strong man asked, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, and Yuan Dou didn't know why.
"Arushin, stay away from me, I can't stand the smell of you, you rat who never bathes!"
"Hahaha!!" The crowd erupted in laughter, and everyone was laughing at the accosting Arushin, but he didn't feel anything, just scratched his head and laughed.
"Shihua, who are they?" At this time, a female warrior asked. Yuan Dou turned his head and found that this person had the most coats of arms on his body among the people he had seen, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"They are guests, and I am going to take them to meet the great grandmother." Shihua said, her tone a little respectful.
"I see," said the man, "do you need me to take them?" ”
"No need, don't bother the Legion Commander!" Shihua said.
"Don't be so angry, don't forget, I grew up watching you," the man said, "if there's anything you need my help with, tell me directly?" ”
Shihua nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I know." ”
The man shook his head and said, "You! ”
Shihua took Yuan Dou and the three of them to continue to move forward, and after staying away, Yuan Dou asked, "Who was that person just now?" ”
"Her name is Kumar, and she is the strongest warrior in the tribe, and she is also a disciple of my grandfather, and after his death, she inherited his position as the captain of the army." Shika explained.
"How powerful is that?" Yuan Dou was surprised.
"Alright, we're here," Shika stopped in front of a wooden house, which seemed to be the largest wooden house she had seen along the way.
Yuan Dou looked at the wooden house, and suddenly, the door opened, and three people came out of it, each with a decoration that bent their necks, and the one standing in the middle was smiling and looking very kind. The one on her left had a calm face, just glanced at Yuan Dou and them, and then looked away, while the one on her right kept locking on Yuan Dou and the three of them, as if he was wary of them.
"Ten flowers? What's the matter? The man in the middle said, looking at the three Yuandou.
"They saved me and my brothers in the wilderness, and they wanted to visit our tribe." Shihua said.
"I see," she said, looking at the man on her right, "sister, take them to the dormitory!" ”
The man hesitated, then nodded. Then the man in the middle said, "I have some things that I don't have time to entertain you, so let her take you to the dormitory, what do you think?" ”
"Ah, no problem!" Yuan Dou said immediately.
"Great grandmother, is the trial about to begin?" Shihua asked in surprise.
"Tomorrow, we have to wait until tomorrow, but before that, there are still some things that need to be arranged!" The Great Grandmother said.
"Don't mean to mess up with the eldest grandmother again." Shihua said and lowered her head.。。
"Take care of your two naughty brothers, I don't know how they passed the trial!" The man on the right said.
The eldest grandmother smiled bitterly when she heard this, and then saw that Shihua was uncomfortable, and explained, "Don't take it to heart, she is just straightforward." ”
