Chapter 124: Rules and Regulations
"Looks like the two of us surprised you?" Su Mo wondered, and said the question in his heart.
"What's more than surprise, as far as I know, there are not many sacrifices on the Bane Continent, and I am afraid that there are even fewer who are as young as you and have great divine power, and now that two young and powerful sacrifices have appeared in front of me, they are still coming together, which has to shock me." The old man did not hide his inner feelings at all, for him, a sacrifice to come as a guest, it was welcome, but the two words, it was completely different.
The tribes of Bain Continent are like stars, all over the world, but each tribe has only one sacrificial existence, they are the spiritual supreme leader of the tribe, although they basically do not have much combat power, people still respect them, even if they are the leaders of the tribe by force.
For the safety of the sacrifice, they basically will not leave the tribe one step, and only guide the tribe in the coming year through the annual sacrifice ceremony and the usual communication with the tribe totem.
It can be said that a sacrifice is like a prophet, and they can often avoid the risk of force majeure and thus protect the people.
In this case, the people of the tribe also pay more and more attention to the safety of the sacrifice, and they themselves know how many people are staring at them in the dark, so in their lives, they rarely go out, and they are afraid that the farthest place they go, that is, to the tribe next door, to visit each other's sacrifices.
But now, the two young people in front of the old man have excellent divine power and superhuman qualifications. That's how old you are. There was no one around to protect him. This was so weird, he couldn't think of any tribe that would ignore these two people.
The old man thought for a moment, but still asked, "Young man, what tribe are you from, and why did you come to our tribe?" ”
Sometimes, it is very taboo to directly probe into other people's backgrounds. However, the tone of the old man's voice could make people hear that he was just curious, and had no other meaning.
After Su Mo hesitated for a few seconds, he still told the truth, he felt that this old priest could distinguish between truth and lies.
"Would you believe that we were here out of nowhere?" Su Mo's faint gaze was so frank and straightforward, and he didn't dodge scrutiny, but greeted him.
"I believe it." The old man smiled. He knew that the other party was not lying, and it was a strange feeling. Very accurate.
"Can you go back then?" The old man paused, and without waiting for an answer, he continued: "If you can't, how about being a guest in the Tiger Clan for the time being?" ”
Two gifted young priests are a precious treasure for any tribe, and they are treasures that can't be bought with lanterns!
The old man hoped that they could stay in the Tiger Clan, and be his successor, the current clan of the Tiger Clan, who had not yet been able to awaken the divine power, and he wanted to cultivate a sacrifice that could protect the future of the tribe in his short lifespan.
"Yes." Su Mo nodded in agreement, he didn't feel malice, and he had a place to stay here.
The old man smiled gently, and then said, "My name is Barcelona, and I am also the sacrifice of the Tiger Clan, what do you call the two guests?" ”
Su Mo pointed to the side: "Her name is Su Ziyue, and my name is Su Mo." ”
Barcelona secretly remembered these two strange names, and then said to the guards next to him: "Invite the two guests to go to Tiger Zhan, his house is big, and there are many empty houses, and then ask someone to build a new house and put it in the central area." ”
After finishing speaking, Barcelona said apologetically to Su Mo: "The new house may need to wait a few days, you can live there now, wait for the house to be repaired in a few days, and then move over." ”
Tiger Zhan is the leader of the Tiger Clan, and at the same time has the highest force value, so it is a good choice for him to spy on these two strangers, and the central area is the most heavily guarded and the most comprehensive patrol range.
Barcelona's surface is gentle, that is only for guests who have no malicious intentions, but if someone wants to do something unfavorable to the tiger clan, he will not be soft-hearted, and those who can survive in the jungle tribe will not be soft-hearted.
The place where the tribal leader lives is not far from the stone house, which is also in the center of the Tiger Clan, and it seems that the higher the status, the closer the place to live to the sacrifice.
The guards who brought them over went straight into Hu Zhan's house, but Hu Zhan was not there, he was the leader of the tribe, and every few days, he needed to take people into the mountains to hunt, and inside the house were his wife and two children.
After the guard whispered a few words in the woman's ear, he withdrew, bowed to Su Mo and left, he still needed to protect the sacrifice, and he couldn't delay too long.
After he left, Su Ziyue chuckled and said, "Brother Mo, are they planning to monitor us for a few days or are they going to observe us all the time?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you're monitoring all the time or temporarily, there's nothing to be nostalgic about here, wait a few days, find out the basic common sense, and we'll leave, no matter what they want to do, no one can stop us." The disdainful tone made it clear that he looked down on the so-called strength of the Tiger Clan.
From the people coming and going, he only saw the slightest trace of energy flowing in the body of the Tiger Clan, even if it was the person guarding Barcelona, it was just a toy in front of him, and he could easily handle it!
Su Ziyue's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, she liked the invincible disregard of her sweetheart, although she could also ravage the people of the Tiger Clan at will.
Tiger Zhan's wife came out of the house, with a welcome smile on her face, and led them into the house very warmly, and then took out a few thick animal skins and helped them spread them on the stone bed.
"This is peeled from the black bear in the beast forest, it is very warm, and there is also a piece of fur made of fox skin, which is just enough to cover the body and not get sick." After the tiger seedlings diligently made the bed, they took out two pieces of meat from the stone altar, and visually measured that each piece was at least five catties or more.
Su Mo didn't go to help, but sat on the stone pier and teased the children in the house, while Su Ziyue lay on his back and watched him play.
Hu Miao, who had just set up the stone pot and was about to make a fire, couldn't help frowning, in the tribe, women are just vassals, although they shoulder the burden of childbirth, but their status is not high, and many trivial things need to be done.
Cooking meat, sewing hides, cleaning houses, and entertaining the men were just the basics, and heavy work like skinning and polishing stone tools was not less.
Now after seeing that Su Ziyue, who is also a woman, only cares about having fun and does not do anything at all, Hu Miao is also a little dissatisfied, this is a rule inherited for thousands of years, which makes her feel unhappy.
It didn't take long for the tiger seedlings to bring the broth, the tribe didn't have tea and other drinks, and the only thing they could take out to serve the guests was the broth.
However, this pot of broth is very large, and the tiger seedlings don't have the meaning of the chopsticks coming out, so how to eat it?
Su Ziyue thought about it, ran to the door of the house, broke two tiny branches, tore off the old skin outside, then folded it in half, and after taking it back, handed Su Mo a pair, and then a pair herself.
Both of them were a little hungry, and now that a big pot of fragrant broth was in front of them, how could they bear not to eat it.
But they finally remembered that this was someone else's house, and the owner was still watching.
"Would you like to come over and eat together?" Su Ziyue asked Hu Miao, then took a pair of chopsticks, put the boiled meat in her mouth, chewed it lightly, and swallowed it.
Hu Miao shook her head, as if she wanted to say something, but after all, she still didn't say anything, and the guard told her that these two people were more noble, and they were guests of the sacrifice, and they wanted her to be well entertained while watching.
In fact, just now Hu Miao really wanted Su Ziyue to wait before eating, and in the tribe, men eat first, and then give it to children, and finally it is the turn of women to pick up some leftovers.
It sounds cruel, but the men in the tribe need to risk their lives to go into the mountains to hunt every day, while the women are at home with their children and can eat enough by doing a few chores.
The more they give, the more they naturally get, and they can naturally enjoy food first, which is not only tradition, but also a derivative rule of the law of the jungle, and the strong should occupy the top position of the food chain.
However, as a vulnerable group of women, there is also protection that cannot be ignored, they are the main people who give birth to the next generation, so even if their men go into the mountains to hunt and unfortunately die, the tribe will raise them, and more often it is the pursuit of those bachelors who are still alive.
Su Ziyue came to the beginning of the month, of course she didn't understand this, as a modern person, her thinking is completely different from that of the Tiger Clan, she should eat when she is hungry, how can there be so many rules, even if it is the meat on Su Mo's chopsticks, as long as she sees it, she will immediately grab it without hesitation.
And Su Mo did not get angry at the slightest discomfort like the Tiger Clan man, but gave her a warm tolerance, let her grab it, and from time to time she even sent meat to Su Ziyue's mouth.
All this was so incredible in Hu Miao's eyes, but in Su Mo's eyes, it was just very ordinary.
"Aren't you hungry?" After eating two bites, Su Mo also felt that it was very unaccustomed to someone watching her eat and drink from the side, so she sent out an invitation, so as not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, like Su Ziyue, a dead girl who has no heart and lungs, people said that she would not eat, and she immediately stuffed it into her mouth by herself.
"Not really, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not very hungry." Hu Miao unexpectedly refused, but now it was almost dark, how could she not be hungry, but the rules are the rules, she has obeyed them for many years, but she is not so easy to break, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she said: "Can you let Hu Ye serve on the table?" The little ones are developing and hungry very quickly. ”
She didn't say herself, but took care of the child, and in the mother's heart, the child always came first.
"Okay, you can come along, otherwise I won't give any meat to this little fat man......" Su Ziyue smiled, hugged the tiger leaf next to her in her arms, and then forcefully pulled the tiger seedling to sit beside her. (To be continued.) )
