Chapter 42: The Martial Arts of Shasha

Ma Jianguo watched as the witch walked to the chief's bonfire, leaned over to speak to the chief, and his son sat next to him; Then he looked at the distant reddish rainforest, which was stained reddish by the bonfire, and there were dark shadows in it, as if someone was hiding, and he turned his face and said:

"She's here to inform us of the danger, otherwise she won't say that God will bless us, and she can't say more, otherwise there is a danger of betraying her people."

"It's really in danger," said the Colonel softly; "After leaving tomorrow, no one is allowed to act alone, not even if they are relieved, understand?"

“Yes!”

"There are also benefits to going deep into danger," Mr. Ma said. "The hidden enemy will think that everything is in their hands, and it is beneficial for us to quietly set a trap, I think the real danger is at the entrance of the cave, maybe, they are waiting for us to take them to find the entrance to the cave, and tomorrow we will discuss after observing the terrain of the hole, now hurry up and eat, recharge our energy, and prepare for tomorrow's action--"

"Look, the competition is about to begin," Ms. Wang said.

Sure enough, the small bonfires surrounded by the feast began to retreat, and the natives busily brought bows and arrows, spears, and targets.

"Everyone can only watch it later, don't participate, don't cheer indiscriminately, we don't understand the relationship between the martial arts contestants, and avoid making enemies."

“Yes!”

The chief led the family over, crowns of colorful feathers, shining under the campfire.

Everyone quickly stood up, and Shasha quickly grabbed a chicken leg and stood up.

The chief seemed very satisfied when he saw Sasha munching on chicken legs in front of him, and did not feel that she was rude, and asked Sasha with a smile:

"Dear God, is our food delicious?"

"It tastes great!" Shasha said loudly.

Everyone laughed.

The chief's wife stepped forward happily, took her rustling hand, and said:

"Dear God, I really like you, you smile like a baby, simple as a baby."

"I'm just a baby--"

"No, no, no," Wang Jinfen quickly interrupted Shasha's words; "Sasha is already a big man, and I'm going to find a partner in another year or two, but I'm just very naughty, like a child."

The marines were stunned by Wang Jinfen's words, and immediately reacted, Shasha's age is a big secret, if you let the Hound Star know that Shasha is still in infancy, they will definitely be able to guess that Shasha's energy is less than one block, then Shasha will be dangerous.

Ma Jianguo was also surprised, because his restrictions on Sha Sha only involved who Sha Sha was, where she came from, what the purpose was, too many restrictions, she would not be able to communicate with people, to put it mildly, it was the sentence 'no comment', so other questions Sha Sha was like a second brain to answer, this question is very headache, and everyone will be able to use their brains later, so that she knows what to say, fortunately, Wang Jinfang reacted quickly.

But the chief laughed.

"The gods are all children and very naughty, so they are very happy."

The chief's son stood respectfully to the side, but listened attentively, and he listened to the words, 'I am a baby,' and he listened.

And his two daughters took the hands of the Marines and touched them curiously, then their guns, and their faces.

The marines didn't dare to move, I don't know what kind of etiquette this is, so open, in fact, they haven't been out of the rainforest, they don't know the outside world, the famous contemporary writer of country M. In his "Lost Secret Land", Petcht writes about the lives of people in the rainforest, and has this passage:

“…… The children were tethered to their chests, dangling from their ankles, or balancing on their hips, their round dark eyes reflecting the fire, Dr. Svenson walking towards the rainforest on the dirt path, nodding from time to time to the women who suddenly babbled at her, the children squatting on the ground, reaching out to touch Mary's pants, the women touching her ears with their fingers, and touching her collarbone, and occasionally the children, very young, would reach for Dr. Svensson, and the mothers would quickly pull their hands back ....... Patchett (the author) lamented in the book:

"One world cannot explain itself to another."

The marines naturally couldn't understand them, Wang Jinfen was a little twisted, but Sha Sha felt that it was nothing, Shi'er and Mu'er had also touched her like this, she looked at them with interest, and they touched them curiously.

Ignoring all this, the chief said:

"We're just sitting here watching the jousting, and it looks clear."

So they sat in a row with his family, rustling between the chief and his wife, who held her hand and was reluctant to put it down, and the feelings expressed by the people in the rainforest were very sincere.

Except for the big bonfire in front, the site has been cleared, and three grass targets have been placed fifty or sixty meters away.

A row of sturdy warriors stood around the campfire, naked with only a fig leaf, their faces painted with red, green, and black ink, some with bows and arrows, some with thin barrels of bragging arrows, and some with spears.

The Marines sat on their knees, watching with interest, not knowing how their heads were, the distance was not close, it depended on the strength of their arms and the strength of their waists, but looking at their leopard-like bodies, it was clear why they had been captured by them.

The horn sounded, and under the firelight, those warriors took turns on the field, archery, spear throwing, blowing pipe arrows, one by one, skillful movements, all hit the bull's-eye, especially the blowpipe arrows, they quickly made all kinds of simulated actions, climbed trees, crawled, squatted in the grass to cover the target, and then silently blew out a thin barrel of arrows, making those targets up and down, left, left and right, like hedgehogs.

The Marines can't help but be creepy, you know, when they fight the enemy, they will get poison, and this cold weapon is silent, quietly, death will come to you.

The people watching cheered desperately, especially the girls in colorful clothes, screaming and dancing with excitement.

The chief's family applauded desperately.

The marines, Ma Jianguo, and Wang Jinfen also applauded vigorously under the eyes of the colonel, and Sha Sha was no exception.

After the last spear was thrown, the priest came and looked at the chieftain, and at the chief's son, who nodded imperceptibly.

The priest bowed to the chief and said,

"Honorable chiefs and ladies, warriors want to see the martial arts of the gods and their friends."

Ma Jianguo and the colonel did not watch the contest seriously, after the witch came, they were wary of the chief's son, and the subtle movements and expressions of the nodding just now were already in their eyes, do you want us to make a fool of ourselves, it seems that it is not so simple.

The Marines have been vigilant, but if the colonel nods and lets them play, then, when it comes to shooting, no matter what posture they have, even if they close their eyes, they can shoot a hundred shots, but if they go to shoot arrows and throw spears, it will definitely be a failure, what kind of situation will this put the Marines in, so they are extremely embarrassed and look at the colonel.

Of course, the colonel also has that kind of expression, and it is not that he does not agree.

There was silence for a while.

The chief's son looked at them with a smile on his face.

The chieftain felt that the atmosphere was not right, looked at them, looked at their expressions, understood, and said to the priest with a smile:

"God and her friends are honored guests, and it is not appropriate to show martial arts."

The priest nodded, bowed, and stepped back.

"Wait," Rustle said with a smile; "Shall I put on a show?"

Except for the chief's son, everyone was stunned.

The chief was amazed and said:

"Honorable God, do you want to perform, you are high, but you have never touched our weapons."

The chief's wife hurriedly took Shasha's hand and said:

"You don't want to perform, just let your friends shoot two shots."

She was afraid of making a fool of herself.

"I see those warriors playing well, and I want to try it, so why don't you just play it?"

The chief and his wife are a little embarrassed, and if they make a fool of themselves, it will make the chief and his wife lose face, and more importantly, it will affect the clansmen's belief in God, but God said that it is not okay if they do not obey.

So the chief nodded and said to the priest:

"Let God put on a show, and all the people stay away from God."

He didn't want anyone to get hurt, and those arrows and spears didn't know where she would throw them, because there was no place in the legends about the gods that said that the gods knew martial arts.

Immediately the priest went to the center of the scene and said,

"Now the gods want to perform martial arts."

The audience was thunderous, God healed the disease, let them see the miracle, and now they are going to perform martial arts again, it must be amazing, these people who live in the rainforest, they are all excited, they are going to see miracles again.

Shasha walked over to the priest.

The bonfires are blazing and the stars are shining.

"Dear God, what weapon do you use," the priest asked respectfully.

"Just use arrows."

The priest summoned a warrior who had retreated to the sidelines, carrying a long bow and a bag full of arrows.

"Don't let him come," Sasha said; "Let him stand on the sidelines, stay away from him, don't touch him, and put two more targets in front of him."

The priest complied.

All of them are baffled, what kind of trick is this.

Although Ma Jianguo and Wang Jinfen have seen Shasha show energy, they have not seen her dance knives and arrows, Wang Jinfen even shouted in her heart, don't make mistakes, don't hurt people, this is a grand martial arts competition, surrounded by people.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Sha Sha was dressed in a white robe, garlands, barefoot, Zhuo Li, and his hands were slowly raised above his head, and he shouted in a low voice:

"La--din--m-a--"

The sound is a bit mysterious.

Everyone looked at the rustle, but they didn't find any miracles, the bonfire was still the same bonfire, the starry sky was still the same starry sky, and nothing more.

But with this shout, the people next to the warrior on the other side of the field all panicked, and retreated in confusion, and the commotion alarmed all the people, and they all looked there, and the warrior stood there, and for some reason everyone left him in panic, and at this moment, an arrow jumped out of his long quiver, turned his head in mid-air, and shot at five targets in the distance, and everyone exclaimed, and saw that the arrow "poofed" through the first target, and the arrow seemed to be undiminished, and flew forward four or five meters, and everyone thought it was going to fall, Then he exclaimed again, because the arrow turned its head and penetrated the second target, and everyone was in a daze, and in the daze of everyone, the arrow twisted and quickly penetrated the five arrow targets, and then slowly flew back, and fell into the quiver without a sound.

Everyone was dumbfounded, the arrow jumped out of the quiver, everyone was shocked, penetrating the first target is a miracle, and then turning around to pierce the second target is scared, and then penetrating the remaining three back and forth, that is fear, this kind of power everyone is afraid.

The Marines opened their mouths wide in horror, they originally thought they were amazing, they were elite, they were stripped naked by the natives and hung up a little irritated, a little depressed, now there is only my mother left in my heart, there is such a power in the universe, our modern high-tech weapons are simply broken copper and iron, and the hearts that are thrown away are gone, damn it, just one arrow will wear us all, the rustle is now just one grid, and when the full grid is not to string the earth as sugar paste, the rustle of one grid is so powerful, Then what if the overwhelmed hound stars are all full, damn it, it's a little frustrating to be a man.

In the face of this power, the audience was silent, and it was a long time before the pious chief came to his senses, stood up and applauded with joy, and suddenly burst into an earth-shattering cheer:

"Ra-Din-Mi-Ya——!"

"I—we—the—God——!"

Madame cried with joy, and looked at the rustle in the field with tears in her eyes, she regarded her as a relative, and now she became a god again.

Rustle was filled with joy, which was what she had expected, for she saw that the chief's son had a suspicious heart, and she wanted to shock him in this way, so that he would not have any wrong thoughts, and that he could live happily with his family, because she did not want to hurt anyone in this race.

The chief's son applauded with a smile on his face, but there was a contemptuous smile on his lips, as if he had seen a greater power and had no fear.

This look did not escape Ma Jianguo and them, although they were smiling, they had a faint worry.

The chief was really excited today, first seeing that God had cured his wife's illness, and now he had seen the martial arts of God, so he personally announced with a red face:

"Prom begins!"

Today's miracles will add new legends to the people.

Surprisingly, the natives withdrew from the circle and sat down in a proper manner, without any sound.

The Marines felt very strange that the ball was supposed to be happy and lively, and why was it silenced, but they still retreated with the chief to the outside of the circle, and Sha Sha also sat down next to his wife.

The chief sat with a serious face and closed his mouth, looking into the empty field.

The camp was silent, and the campfire was "popping".

The Marines also kept their mouths shut, and there was an indescribable sense of strangeness that so many people did not make a sound.

The marines suddenly glanced at a dark shadow in the forest outside the field, and subconsciously touched the gun on their knees.

The figure wore a white mask, slowly came out of the woods, close to the crowd, strangely, all the people did not react as if they had been evil, the masked man walked through the sitting circle step by step, came to the field, the bonfire illuminated her, it turned out to be a witch, with a strange step, like walking gossip, her hands stretched forward and backward, tiptoeing forward, as if driving away demons and monsters, she circled the bonfire, suddenly stopped, hands up, and turned her face to the sky, as if she was appealing.

The audience was frighteningly quiet.

Suddenly, there was a very soft, knock-knock-knock sound from a distance, as if someone was knocking on a dry tree trunk, the sound moved from the dark woods little by little, and then a bitter sound sounded softly, like a two-string guqin sound, with a gentle knock-dong-knock--, this sound reminded people of distant homeland and people, and also seemed to make people feel nostalgic for the passing time.

A large circle of natives sitting on the ground slowly squatted up, shrugged up to the rhythm of the music, and the chief and his wife also stood up, and gestured to rustle them, and they also stood up, and shrugged to the rhythm of "dong dong", and thousands of people shrugged and shrugged in place, very strange, the marines had heard the sound of wooden drums, and a group of four people came from the woods, beating drums and playing the violin.

Half a minute later, as the wooden drum hits hard, the music of the theme music suddenly rises, and it travels beautifully through the rhythm of "dong dong".

Thousands of natives stood up with a "hoha", stomped their feet with the rhythm, their upper bodies shrugged up with the rhythm, and shouted in their mouths:

"Ho, ha!"

The chief and lady stamped their feet enthusiastically as they invited Sasha to lead the way onto the dance floor, she was a god.

Sha Sha nodded, put his hands on his waist, stepped on the rhythm, stepped into the dance floor step by step, and when he reached the center, his hands were raised high, and he stepped on the dance steps on the spot, turning his body one by one, white robes, garlands, scrutiny, bonfires, dignified and elegant dancing, the Marines were stunned, they were so good at dancing, they were really goddesses, anyway, they were used to seeing miracles today, and they were also goddesses on the same front, so they jumped into the dance floor with joy, and jumped up vigorously, and thousands of people circled around Shasha, high-fived and stomped their feet, " Ho ha" was a loud voice, round and round, over and over again, and the atmosphere was at its peak, and the flamboyant witch turned the most energetically, but she straightened her waist and turned, and shouted with the chief:

"La-din-m-a--!"

The sound of drums and pianos ceased.

Sha Sha stood in the middle, and his long hair was slightly raised.

The chiefs led the natives knelt on one leg and bowed their heads in unison as a sign of their highest respect for God.

But the chief's son was not there.
