Chapter Seventy-Four: State Affairs
The handcuff made a deafening explosion against the muzzle of the gun, but I knew that it was not dangerous in the slightest, because there was not a single buckshot in it, let alone none... Even if you search the whole island, it is difficult to find this extremely precious thing;
For nine years, all the buckshot had been squandered, and I had even used this now life-saving thing to hunt birds a few years before I first landed on the island, but I was not short of food, just to relieve my boredom, and I regretted it to the fullest;
Hearing this thunderous sound, the crowd outside the oracle suddenly fell to their knees, and the white robe that did not kneel down had already left the earthen jar in his hand and turned around and ran, until he stopped at the bottom of the slope, bowing his waist like a stupid roe deer to peek at the movement on the gentle slope;
"I am Shanman of the Qi tribe, we came here without malice, it is to seek the protection of the gods", the old witch of the Qi tribe was much calmer than the old guy from the poison department, the loud noise did not make her retreat, and the old body always said in a straight and slow voice;
"What about you!" , I turned my gaze to the old woman of the poison department;
"I... Ahem... I am a witch of the Ministry of Poison...";
"You're not Shanman?" I asked her sharply;
"The Poison Department and the Qi Clan are together, and it was the Evil Spirit People who plundered us, so we can't have Shanman, we can't have totems", the old woman of the Poison Department said tremblingly;
I thought in my heart that these two tribes were originally one family, and this is really a problem, you know... I'm afraid of nepotism if I really take them in, I can't guarantee that one day these two old things will join forces to calculate me......
The crowd that knelt down on the ground did not even dare to look up at me, and the shell under each white robe now stuck its head on the ground like an ostrich, with its ass facing the sky;
"You two, follow me", people have faces and bark, and the fierce suppression of these two leader-like characters is just a means, but this means only needs to be pointed, so that the other party has enough pressure, but it can't be excessive, and the rhythm must be mastered, after all, "where there is oppression, there is resistance";
Frankly speaking, now my tribe can't withstand any small-scale rebellion, even if the turmoil of two or three people believes that I can't withstand it, I know this very well, and it is equally clear that I have to give a sweet date after the slap, this is common sense, common sense of survival;
Sitting inside the oracle on the wooden chair facing the doorway, the same one I made when I first arrived on the island, the armrests now the same one I had made with coconut oil and bodily fluids, and looked quite heavy;
Not far from me is the statue of "Lao Tan", of course, I am the only one who would call this wood sculpture now, because three years ago, it had a new name: "Wood God";
"That's ......", the old woman of the Qi tribe opened her mouth first, but the direction she was facing was not me, but the "old Tan" beside me;
"Wood God", I said with my head down, there was no trace of kindness in my eyes, but there was no malice either, just a blank face in reply;
But as soon as the words fell, the two old women actually knelt down towards the statue in unison, and said something in their mouths, but I couldn't understand a word, it was not a native language, nor any language I could understand;
"Don't you believe in the sun god?" I was a little puzzled, and not long ago they were still praying about the sun god";
"The gods are man, we are faithful servants of the sun god, but the god of thunder brings good news, the god of rain gives us life, and the god of wood finally turns all this into our ability to survive, and it is it it who gives us the sacred grass and tender leaves that can heal our people and kill wild beasts";
Qi Wu's expression in the face of the statue of Lao Tan was particularly solemn, not as if he was deliberately flattering the belief of my people in front of me, and the divine grass that can heal in their mouths is not difficult to understand, it should be the basic herb, after all, Qi Nu has already shown her skills when I was seriously injured, but what is the blade of grass that can not kill the beast?
Seeing that I was silent, Qi Wu instead spoke: "The Protoss Shanman, when we left our island, there were actually no evil spirits on the island, three years ago, a big ship picked up all the evil spirits and their favorite male slaves, and they didn't even catch female slaves in the tribe this time";
I understood that the full calendar she spoke of was almost equal to half a year, and that this was the calendar of the natives, and I had studied this kind of thing in particular, which was summed up by the natives according to the imprints of the sea washing the shore;
If we look at the three calendars, the time should be before and after we defeated the demonstrators;
"Now that the male slaves have been captured, what happened to the claw poison group and the two men behind you?" My tone became stern again, and my originally relaxed attitude instantly changed back to coercion;
The old witch of the poison department was taken aback by me, and hurriedly lowered his body and said in a trembling voice: "There can't be no man in the tribe, we... It is we who hid these people in the distant mountains",
"Why should you let such a miscellaneous die at the hands of the evil spirits", remembering the scrawny appearance of the Sichuan girl, I turned around indignantly and smashed the earthen bowl on the wooden table beside the old witch of the poison department;
Looking at the old woman of the Poison Department who was trembling like chaff, the Qi Wu on the side straightened up and said: "The gods are full of people, the evil consequences caused by the people of the Poison Tribe, the Qi Clan and the Poison Department will give you enough compensation, as long as you can take us in and protect our people with your divine power";
In my heart, I think where did Lao Tzu get any divine power, and now the so-called "artifact" has become a burning stick due to the exhaustion of lead bullets, which can only be left by his side to scare people;
"What compensation do you get?" I gently placed the handcuff on the side of the wooden table, which seemed to be much kinder, but in fact it was a naked threat;
Sure enough, Qi Wu looked at the thing on the table that could summon "divine thunder" and frowned a few times, and his originally straight and kneeling body also leaned down a lot and said:
"We can... We can offer some young women to provide for the men of your tribe to breed," she said directly, but a trembling tone was evidently audible;
Almost as soon as her voice landed, I immediately refused: "No need, there are enough female clansmen in Lao Tzu's tribe";
Damn, Lao Tzu is not stupid, in this place of gentle slope, there are more women and fewer men, and the men are not enough for the group of wolf-like women, so they have to fill in the people? What's more, I still have to feed on food!
The most important thing is that listening to this old thing's words, she seems to mean that she is not "taking refuge" at all, but that she wants to set up another mountain with me, just to "resist together" when the evil spirits come, which is what I can accept?
At the same time, I once again complained in my heart about the Sichuan girl, this is clearly two groups of people who came to take advantage, how can you still give them food and distribute their hemp skirts?
It didn't seem surprising that Qiwu was flatly rejected by me, and it gave me the impression of an old fox about this thing in the future;
"What about half?";
"Lao Tzu said that there is no shortage of women in my clan", I wanted to simply tell Ya that "Lao Tzu wants men", but I think this is easy to be ambiguous, as for what "monogamy" This set of rules that only my clan will follow is completely fantastical for the two natives in front of me, although they are relatively knowledgeable shamans;
"And what do you want?" Qi Wu obviously didn't expect that such conditions still did not meet her expectations, you know, more than a hundred female clansmen, with two or three years of good use, can conjure up the same amount of tribal blood, which is absolutely tempting for any tribe;
"I don't want anything, leave the rest of your male clansmen, and where else do they go back and forth, and when I land on this island in the future, I will deal with you like a demon spirit!" I stood up and added to Qiwu with a handcuff: "Let me tell you again, my tribe has its own name, Banpo tribe!" ”;
Frankly, I didn't really want to drive them away, and I firmly believed that if I forced all the tribe men to stay, it would be the same as extermination for any tribe!
But I know that without enough pressure on them, these two old things will never give in;
"God... The Banpo tribe is full of people, but when the hunters first brought us here, the female leader just now didn't say so, she also let us burn all the boats with our own hands, and so many tribesmen died on the sea road here, how can you let the slave of the sun god go back to suffer the evil deeds of the evil spirits? Qi Wu's old eyes were faintly filled with tears, and he said in a trembling voice;
"Who? Who brought you here? ”;
"Hunters... The hunters brought us here, and they told us by boat that the gods had defeated the spirits, and that we should come here with the hunters to ask for the protection of the gods...", the old witch said as she wiped the old tears from her eyes with her hand, and the cane had already been thrown aside;
But I can still take care of the sadness of this old thing, damn it, hunter...... Isn't the hook the only bloodline of the hunters? Why did this pop up again?
