Chapter Eighty-Nine: Psychedelic Butterflies
The old man's voice came urgently, "Human, please stop for a while." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
When he came over, he saw that the priest looked seriously injured, and hurriedly said: "Human, I am the patriarch of the Water Frog Village, can you let me treat the sacrifice, when I came over, I already understood it, I think there may be a misunderstanding between us, and I will give you an explanation later." ”
Lotte nodded, and the patriarch hurriedly took out a bottle and poured out two pills to feed the sacrifice, temporarily suppressing the sacrifice's injuries and not vomiting blood again.
"A few of you come and help the sacrifice to rest."
The patriarch said to Lotte again, "Humans, please come with me." ”
After the patriarch finished speaking, he led the way in front, and Lotte and Fina glanced at each other and followed the patriarch all the way. The patriarch said to the villagers and guards of the Water Frog Village beside him: "You don't have to follow, I'll be fine, go to the village to put out the fire." ”
A few water frogmen looked at Lotte, and then at the patriarch, and finally left very reluctantly under the patriarch's glare.
Lotte and Fina followed the patriarch to a row of houses at the back of a village and pushed open the door to a room.
Lotte and Fina followed the patriarch into the room.
The furnishings of the room are also very simple, there is a corpse lying on the ground, the most puzzling thing is that this corpse still has wings, and when Fina sees it, her face changes drastically.
"Psychedelic Butterflies"
Fina exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to inspect the corpse, which had two huge wings on its back, but the wings of this bird had no feathers, and after touching it, it could still be stained with colorful butterfly powder on its hands.
"If you inhale a little bit of this psychedelic butterfly while it's still alive, it will make you hallucinate, which is amazing."
The patriarch smiled, "This girl is well-informed. ”
Suddenly, there was a "psychedelic butterfly" at the door.
When the three of them saw it, it was a sacrifice, maybe the sacrifice was not at ease, so they came here with help.
"Sacrifice, come in! These two are humans, and they are not accomplices of psychedelic butterflies. ”
The priest looked at Fina and Lotte, and then found a place to sit down with the help of the water frogman.
After the patriarch waited for everyone to sit down, he also found a place to sit down, and slowly explained what had happened to everyone.
"Just yesterday morning, three humans came to our village, a man and a woman and a little girl."
Fina and Lotte were shocked when they heard this.
"The water frog people are kind and enthusiastic by nature, after the three of them came, our villagers did not ask them any intentions, and were taken into the house by a villager to give warm hospitality, this family has a child of more than 5 years old, every morning needs to come to me to learn the inheritance, after class, I went home, as soon as I entered the house and found that my parents were lying in a pool of blood, she immediately let out an exclamation, so that the whole village was alarmed, the three found that the conspiracy was exposed, and they showed their minions, and injured a lot of villagers for a while, Later, I fought with the priest to beat them away, the man was killed by us, and the woman was injured and ran away with the child, and in the process of fighting, both me and the priest were seriously injured, and I was more serious. ”
Speaking of this, the patriarch paused and glanced at the sacrifice, and sighed, "The corpse of the man, we will put it in this room for the time being, I am here alone while healing while thinking, why do humans hunt our water frog people for no reason, maybe it is because the psychedelic butterfly dies for a long time, he will show his original form, when the corpse shows this pair of wings, I suddenly realized, I have read a lot of information in the past two days, and finally figured out what the psychedelic butterfly is." ”
"Psychedelic butterflies are very cruel, they will slaughter the living beings from village to village, and then wrap the corpses into a cocoon and dry them as food reserves."
Fina and Lotte were terrified to hear it, Fina also didn't know anything about psychedelic butterflies, and before she came, she thought that the cocoon was the shelter of psychedelic butterflies.
As soon as the patriarch finished speaking, Fina and Lotte knew who the tragedy in Wood Frog Village came from, but they didn't expect a small colored butterfly to be so cunning, obviously trying to provoke a fight between themselves and Water Frog Village, and then they could profit from it and take revenge!!
The previous scene in the Wooden Frog Village, coupled with the patriarch's words, Fina and Lotte have also come to their senses, which also makes the clues of Lotte's suspicions have a reasonable explanation.
Fina also felt that she was too impulsive and a little reckless, and easily believed the little girl's words, but it also reflected the difficulty of the psychedelic butterfly from the side, and Fina especially likes children, and has no intention, plus Fina and Lotte know very little about psychedelic butterflies, Fina only heard the "Ark" merchant group Jie Yu'an mentioned it to her, but the rest of the ignorance, including the fact that psychedelic butterflies can turn themselves into humans is that they have never heard of it, so Fina is actually expected, Fortunately, the Water Frog Village ended peacefully in the end and did not cause a tragedy.
Lotte took out five healing pills and gave them to the priest and the patriarch, and at the same time begged them to forgive them for their recklessness, and almost caused a tragedy, but the patriarch did not shirk it, both of them were injured, and the village was short of such items, so he motioned to the priest to accept the pills.
After learning the truth, the priest also said that there was something wrong with him, otherwise he would not have fought and burned down many houses in Water Frog Village. , so that many villagers in Water Frog Village are now homeless.
A few people watched the sacrifice take the pill and ordered people to protect it carefully, so the patriarch took Fina and Lotte to his house to rest, and put some snacks unique to Water Frog Village for them.
It wasn't until the end of the sacrificial exercise that they also came here, and Fina and Le got up to say goodbye. After all, the purpose of the two of them here is to capture psychedelic butterflies, so it was delayed for a long time. This will already have accurate information, and it will be even more difficult to stay here even after being teased by psychedelic butterflies.
Lotte got up and told the patriarch and the priest his purpose, and then said goodbye.
The patriarch did not stop it, but only took a black jade from his neck, but the appearance was like wood.
"This is a thing that has been passed down from generation to generation by the patriarch of our Water Frog Village, it seems to be called Cold Pith Invisible Wood, which can be worn on the body to break the illusion created by the psychedelic butterfly, and it is fortunate that we have this thing, otherwise the last attack of the psychedelic butterfly on our village would not have been spared."
Fina exclaimed, "Cold Bone Invisible Wood! ”
The patriarch smiled and said, "Girl, it's good that you know this thing, I want to exchange this thing with you?" ”
Fina was a little excited: "I don't know what the patriarch wants to exchange?" ”
"A small energy manufacturing center, a mecha manufacturing center, a medium-sized industrial machine robot, ten construction robots, and a small building materials production center. A small food processing center. ”
Fina calculated carefully, and said with a serious expression: "Patriarch, it seems that you want a lot of things, but I still earned it, patriarch, think about it again, what else do you want?" ”
The patriarch smiled happily, and there was a certain sadness in his laughter.
"Girl, you are an honest person and a kind-hearted person, just by what you just said, our Water Frog Village will be friends with you, friends for life."
The patriarch does not hold a grudge against the impulsive human girl in front of him, but likes it in his heart, in his eyes, such a person is easier to deal with, there are not so many calculations, there are not so many conspiracies, and he will not stab a friend in the back, so he has what he said just now, Fina nodded silently.
The patriarch smiled and said: "In the past, we have been following the legacy of the frog ancestors, silently guarding their homeland, if it is not good, it is a remote side, do not think of change, the ancestors have lived such a primitive and uncivilized life for generations, no one feels that this is the contrary, everyone laughs very happily, and they live in a trance in a paradise, there is no war, no hunger." ”
The patriarch and the priest looked at each other for a wry smile.
"Until one day the Federation's spaceship landed here, our lives changed dramatically overnight, a lot of good things in the outside world, we have never heard of, never seen, many of our water frog ancestors have saved things out of exchange for a thing, and then the planet is full of products of scientific and technological civilization, originally the villagers were busy for a day can be exchanged for a day's food, but now there is an automatic fishing robot in the lake, and the villagers are sometimes busy for a day to catch fish that are not enough to eat for a day, In the past, fishing a day of fish can be eaten for more than ten days, in the past, the villagers could change a skin with ten catties of fish, and the villagers could use it to survive the winter and prevent the cold, now a skin needs a hundred catties of fish, and in the past, a day of effort can be changed for a skin, and now a month can be changed for a skin. ”
"Now the villagers don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes!"
"I can't say that technological civilization is bad, I just think we are too backward, and by the time we realize this, it is too late. When we realized these problems, we have been reduced to one of the most declining races, and there is no place for us to survive on the planet, and then we wanted to isolate ourselves from the outside world, but once the floodgates of thought are opened, it can still be closed, the water frog race is already sparsely populated, and now the water frog race is a race at the bottom of the planet. ”
In June 1840, 47 British ships and 4,000 troops arrived outside the mouth of the Pearl River under the leadership of Rear Admiral Yilu and Commercial Superintendent Yilu in China, blockading Haikou and starting the first Opium War. The First Opium War (FirstOpiumwar) is often called the "Trade War" or the First Anglo-Chinese War (FirstAnglo-Chinese War), which is the beginning of the modern history of the Chinese State. It's just that this road is full of blood and tears, paved with white bones, and the backbone of the iron-blooded nation.
After listening to the patriarch's words, Lotte's heart seemed to be pressed on a boulder, extremely heavy, the day of the Gemini Water Frog Clan, how could it not be the tomorrow of the earthlings?
