Chapter 26: The Sacrifice of the Khams
Usri was a wise man, and as the chief of the Kham people, he always adhered to the golden mean, tried to avoid making enemies, and looked at things in the interests of the whole tribe. At this time, he had basically made a decision, no matter whether Forrest Gump, the giant arm, came to save her or not, he would not hurt this stranger.
Usri came to Tagu's side and crouched down to help her untie the rope from her feet and help her up. From their conversation and Usri's actions, Taya couldn't feel Usri's coarseness in her presupposition, and he didn't have the shadow of the hateful old woman next to him, although he couldn't understand their language.
Tagu was a little surprised, Usri helped herself up, her gaze did not avoid the chief's gaze, and from this person's eyes, Taya clearly saw the kindness in the other party's eyes.
Faced with the old cha's surprised expression, Usri withdrew his gaze from looking at Taya and turned to her, "Wizard, I don't agree to take her to the god of the tree with blood. ”
"But why? Sheik! The old man spread his hands and couldn't believe that Usri would have such an idea.
"First, she is such a beautiful angel, I think she is like a daughter of God, don't you think it's wrong to take her to the god of the tree with blood? We must not harm the daughter of God. Usri explained to the old cha.
The old cha listened to a pair of small eyes and rolled back and forth flexibly, and felt that Usri was right. She secretly scolded herself in her heart for not thinking of this, so she smiled and patted the back of her head to Usri and said, "Reasonable, reasonable." The old cha said and gave the chief a thumbs up, "Thanks to the chief's reminder, otherwise we would have offended the god of the fire tree." ”
Usri smiled and continued: "There is a second consideration that although the Giant Arm and we are not of the same race, we are still related by blood, and it is good that we can always coexist peacefully, and we must avoid causing conflicts between the two tribes because of her, you know that the Giant Arm is powerful, isn't it." ”
Usri finished speaking and looked at Taya. He was indeed thoughtful, and if this angel in front of him did not handle it well, it might bring them bad luck instead of praying for blessings. Besides, emotionally he couldn't bear to hurt this beautiful person.
"Chief wise, this is definitely a wise decision, I almost got into trouble." The old man said solemnly, the old wrinkled cheeks showed a little uneasiness, she was annoyed that she hadn't taken this into account, and felt that she had been disgraced in front of the chief.
Lao Cha did see that Tagu and his group only wanted to capture them back and sacrifice to the tree god last night, and they didn't weigh so much. Even though Forrest Gump stopped him halfway and chased after him, he never thought of giving up.
In her eyes, if this beautiful angel is used for blood sacrifice to the god of trees, it will definitely bring good luck to their tribe and keep it away from malaria. Her starting point was the entire White Witch Tribe, but this decision was too blind and lacked thinking.
Usri also knew the general idea in her heart, this old cha was the wizard of the White Witch tribe, and the prestige of the tribe was second only to herself. It was a bit selfish for her to do so in order to ensure her status, but in the end, for the sake of the tribe, it was just not done in the right way. What's more, Lao Cha usually does his best for the benefit of the tribe, and Usri also respects her, so he doesn't talk more.
The old cha looked at Tagu and turned his head to face Usri, and then stopped.
Usri asked, "Does the wizard have any other concerns?" ”
"Yes, I just passed on my plan to use her blood to sacrifice to the Flamingo God. Everyone is happily preparing for this important ceremony, how can this be said to them? ”
Usri thought for a moment and said, "Well, wizard, you still tell everyone to make this sacrifice." But this daughter of the god is not a blood sacrifice to the god of the tree, but a blessing ceremony, through the daughter of the god and the god of the tree to pray for blessings to the tribe of the white witch. ”
When the old cha heard this, his little eyes blinked and cast a light of admiration at Usri, and he walked up to Usri and grinned happily: "The chief is really worthy of being a chief, nothing will be difficult for you, I will arrange it." With that, he walked out of the chief's big wooden house.
Usri watched the wizard leave, turned to look at Tagu, and in Takaya's eyes he saw a cramped and uneasy, and Usri wanted to go over and untie the rope from her hand. However, he was worried that the other party did not trust him, and once he unraveled it, he might wait for an opportunity to escape, so that he could not explain to the wizard and the entire tribe.
However, Usri had already decided to finish the ritual as soon as possible, and then let her leave the place and go back to her place.
So Usri smiled at Taya as a comfort, and Taya looked at the tall and majestic strange man in front of him, and the pair of piercing eyes under the white eyebrows projected a kindness, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in her heart, wondering if this person didn't intend to hurt herself.
She felt a little more relaxed at the thought of this. At this moment, several burly subordinates outside the door walked in and muttered a few words to the chief, and the chief turned to leave.
Several Khams walked up to Tagu and untied the rope tied to her hand, and lifted the petite Tagu up to the top of her head.
"Ahh
Taya was startled and shouted in panic: "Let me down." Shouting and struggling.
The Kham people below ignored her and walked out the door, towards the crowd dancing under the flamingo tree in front of them. They obeyed the sorcerer's instructions and sent the god's daughter to the god of the tree to pray for blessings.
Under the old and luxuriant flamingo chieftain held a scepter beside the altar and waited for the crowd to quiet down and loudly announced that the sacrifice was ready to begin. Taya was put down, and by this time the wizard who had captured her in front of the altar had changed his outfit, painted some strange patterns on his face, and wore a crest of bird feathers and a white gown.
The old cha's eyes clearly did not have the coldness before, and at this moment she was smiling at herself, and her eyes were full of kindness. Taya looked at Usri next to him, his eyes were also full of joy and anticipation, and she somewhat understood that they seemed to be participating in a peaceful ritual by themselves, perhaps to make sacrifices to the tall tree in front of the altar, or to pray for the blessings of their people.
Taya was extremely excited, he didn't expect that he was caught last night and struggled all the way, desperate, crying, scared, it turned out to be just a false alarm, they didn't intend to hurt themselves, but regarded themselves as gods.
The clever Taya also had a clue, because they had never seen a moth man, thinking of this, Tagu noticed the faces around him at this time, and he was clearly kind and respectful to himself.
Taya was a little hesitant, there were also this kind of rituals in Mothman and Scales, and she was going to wait for the opportunity to fly up and run away while her hands and feet were not bound, but she finally hesitated. Then Usri came to her, smiled, took her hand, and came to the altar. Eventually, Taya chooses to trust Usri completely, and she decides to help them complete the ritual.
The wizard respectfully helped Futagu, who didn't realize that she was so charming when he patronized and arrested people last night. At this moment, looking at Tagu up close, she sighed in her heart, this villain's confident and peaceful eyes, the black eyelashes every beat are so otherworldly, the beauty is suffocating, she is sure that this is the daughter of God. The idea that he wanted to use her blood to sacrifice to the god of the Flamingo was so terrible that the wizard secretly blamed himself.
The old cha couldn't help but kiss Tagu's head, and neatly picked up a crown made of light green flamingo leaves, and gently brought it to her. Then he took her hand and took two steps in front of the tree god, turning his face sideways to signal her to stand like this
The surrounding Kham people, under the gesture of Chief Usri, quickly lined up in several rows and knelt down together in front of the flamingo tree and the altar, and raised their hands above their heads and lay on the ground. Those cute and naughty Kham children followed their mothers and pretended to lie on the ground, some of them got down and got up to look around, and found that everyone did not get up and hurriedly fell down again.
At this time, a little Kham girl walked up to Tagu at some point. Her name was Des, and she was the daughter of Chief Usri, and her big eyes looked up at this beautiful big sister intently. Her slender little hand carefully touched Tagu's clothes.
Taya had watched intently as the wizard danced under the flamingo with her hands, a smooth flamingo staff in her hand waving and chanting incantations in her mouth. Suddenly she noticed that someone was touching her, and when she turned her head and saw that it was a little girl, Taya grinned at her and touched her head, pulling her over and standing with her.
The wizard was completely engrossed, while Usri knelt reverently on the right side of the altar, and no one noticed anything wrong.
