220 Help
At noon, Da Niu came to deliver food, and there was a child by his side, Xie Chuyao recognized it as the little boy who was lying on the window lattice and peeking, he stared at them with curiosity, so that she couldn't help but be full of curiosity about him.
"Eat this lunch, as soon as the sun goes down, the sacrifice will begin, you ...... Hey, let's do it for myself. Da Niu shook his head as he spoke.
"Why use a living person as an offering?" Shang Jingcheng asked in a deep voice. He knew that there were some places where there would be such sacrifices, but generally animal carcasses were used as offerings, and it was really chilling to think of using people as offerings.
Da Niu was silent for a while, then looked around, and saw that those who were originally on guard began to relax their spirits, so he looked at them a little nervously and said: "That's the case, people here will get sick inexplicably, but only after people use living people as sacrifices to offer ghosts and gods, they can be quiet for a while, but every year at this time, people will get sick, and when they get sick, they will be the kind of medicine without a doctor." ”
Xie Chuyao felt a little ridiculous when he heard it, how could this illness have anything to do with ghosts and gods? These people have stayed in this tribe for a long time and have cut off contact with the outside world, so they should not get any infectious diseases, could it be some disease-causing body?
"Moreover, it is difficult for women here to conceive children every year, even if they are pregnant and give birth, it is not normal, so they all say that they are cursed by the ghosts and gods, and they have to sacrifice to ask the ghosts and gods to give their children a way to live." When Da Niu said this, he looked around again, and when he saw that those people began to notice her, he quickly put down the food in his hand, and then pulled the child next to him to leave.
The child refused to leave, he pointed at Xie Chuyao and asked, "Daddy, can I play with this sister?" "I like her very much when he looks like that.
Da Twist shook his head at him solemnly and said, "No, go back with Daddy now." ”
The child took his hand a little sadly and turned around and left.
Xie Chuyao looked at him who was about to cry, and suddenly felt that this little kid looked pretty good, at least he liked her, didn't he?
"It seems that it is not so simple in this tribe!" Shang Jingcheng's voice was a little serious, he glanced at her and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Xie Chuyao didn't speak yet, just pondered, thinking of thousands of possibilities in his mind, maybe someone in this tribe was deliberately poisoning people?
"I think there's a lot of work here, why don't we talk to the old man, let him let us go first, and we'll go and solve this sick matter for them?" Qingying said without thinking.
Qing Cang shook his head and said, "If things are as simple as you think, first of all, the old man can't communicate with us, and besides, if you tell him now that you can help him see a doctor, will he believe it?" We just think that we are deliberately making excuses to run for our lives. ”
Qingying glanced at him a little discouraged and said, "What should we do then, are we just waiting here for death?" ”
"No, we can't sit still, we have to talk to the old man, don't we have a big cow who can be a translator? As long as he is there, we can only be used as barbecue if we sit like this. Xie Chuyao said with certainty.
Shang Jingcheng also nodded and agreed: "Well, I agree with Yao'er's words, we have to take the initiative." ”
"Hey, come here, I'm sick to my stomach, I'm uncomfortable, come and find a doctor for me!" The light shadow cried out as she stroked her stomach, her expression pained, as if she was dying.
As soon as those who were watching from the side saw her like this, they couldn't help but look at each other with some confusion for a while, and then a tall man walked out from the side, pointed to the sword and said to them something they didn't understand, and then saw them look at themselves with a confused face, only to find that they couldn't understand his words, so they had to turn around and look for someone in frustration.
When he brought the old man and the big cow over, he saw that the light shadow had nothing to do, and he knew that he had been tricked.
He was so angry that he wanted to cut people with a sword, but was stopped by the old man.
The old man spoke for a while, then looked at the big cow and asked him to tell him.
"What do you want to do? Don't try to run away, you can't escape. Da Niu relayed the old man's words to them, with a touch of sympathy and helplessness on his face.
Shang Jingcheng looked at the old man and said, "You tell him that we are doctors and can treat them." ”
As soon as his words came out, Da Niu frowned in disbelief, but he still relayed his words to the old man.
The old man's face was also full of disbelief when he heard this, but he did not immediately deny his words, but was silent for a moment and said something.
"Do you have anything to prove that you are doctors?" These words also asked all the doubts in Da Niu's heart.
Shang Jingcheng glanced at Xie Chuyao, and she hurriedly said, "I can diagnose his pulse." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Da Niu laughed, and thought that the man said that he was a doctor, but he didn't expect to push a female baby out to act, it seems that he is too careful, and these people can only be used as offerings.
He relayed her words to the old man.
Sure enough, the old man also laughed after hearing this, and then turned around and left with a smile on his face.
"We have a witch doctor here, don't mess around here, you girl." After relaying the old man's words, the big bull followed and left.
"Hey, don't go, I really know how to see a doctor, it's really a doctor, don't you don't believe it, why do you people look down on women so much? Really, can't I be a doctor? Xie Chuyao was really angry by their attitude, and shouted at them at the top of her throat.
The old man had already walked away, but when he heard her voice, although he couldn't understand what she was saying, but listening to the tone full of disbelief and anger, he finally turned around and walked back, he stood in front of them, staring at Xie Chuyao with heavy eyebrows, and saw that she was a little hairy in her heart, so he ordered the man next to her to help her untie the rope.
When the shackles on her hands were untied, Xie Chuyao breathed a sigh of relief, she moved her hands and feet, glanced at the wrists that were a little red, and her feet were also a little paralyzed, and she couldn't help frowning slightly, after being tied for so long, these hands and feet were not good.
The old man said a string of words to her, and when he saw that she was looking at himself a little confused, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and motioned for her to check her pulse.
