Chapter 232: Ethnic Groups
"So it's a big deal to leave the clan without permission, right?" asked Han Weixue.
"Brother, that's the most serious thing. Sean said as he flipped a few more pages.
That is to say, they are the kind of race that "has difficulties in entering", and it is taboo to break away from the ethnic group. Have you ever seen a wolf spirit alive and out of the pack? I haven't seen it. ”
"Maybe. Han Weixue walked over and read the book with him.
There is a page with three small pictures drawn on it, and the middle picture is a person with a big belly, Han Yuxue pointed to the picture and said: "These look like symbols of fertility, do you know what these things mean?"
Sean thought for a moment and said, "That's right, when a wolf spirit mother and a wolf spirit father love each other deeply. Sean looked at the text and continued: "The typical wolf spirit style, I mean, is a constant reproduction, or close relatives, which is usually the case. ”
Sean continued to look at the next picture, which showed a woman with her hands tied to a pillar, next to her skull posing in a formation-like thing, and a picture above her head.
"The female wolf spirit will be brought into the fertility circle by one of the members of the group, and I guess it is this skeletal array pierced with a wooden stake. Sean explained to Han Yuxue.
"Is this some kind of mating ritual?" asked Han Weixue.
Sean looked at it for a while, sighed and said: "According to the above records, this is how they introduced the female wolf spirit to the entire group, no wonder Wang Lei's buddies moved to Hong Kong City, and those relatives who are not related by blood, this says that they must complete the oath, that is, to make the ceremony complete, and when the female wolf spirit reaches the age of seventeen, the whole ceremony will start with a routine banquet." ”
The picture depicts a lot of wolf spirits, who seem to be sharing dinner around the campfire.
"Wild wolf spirits slaughter dogs and other small animals, and the number seventeen represents immortality, which is believed to produce strong, long-lived members of the race. ”
"Is there any mention of when the consummation ceremony after the age of seventeen should be held?" This question is the key, it should be that Xiao Ran is just over the age of seventeen.
"Of course, this is one of the typical ones, on a full moon night. Sean looked at Han Weixue and said.
"Let me guess. ”
"Just tonight, I'm having some inconvenience tonight, I'm going to stay at home. Sean was afraid that Han Yuxue would ask him to go with him again.
"I have to go. Han Yuxue walked outside.
Sean suddenly thought of something and said, "Don't you want to know how Li Yaling's situation is?"
Han Yuxue stood up and asked, "Did she remember me?"
"No, but don't you think it's strange that Li Yaling only forgot about you? Maybe Wu Jiayu's purpose is this. ”
"Maybe, I have to go find that girl quickly, thank you for going and chatting with Li Yaling, I'll call you later." Of course Han Weixue knows about this, and he doesn't bother to talk nonsense with Sean here, now that time is pressing, if it is really like what the book says, then the girl is in danger.
After Han Weixue left, Sean continued to look at the book, "Oh my God." He kept sighing.
"I don't have a clue, Wang Lei, these are her friends, no one has had a holiday with her, and most of them I have already asked. Kan Pufu was writing on the table that there were possible people, and he touched his head and said.
"We're going to ask them again. ”
At this time, Han Weixue walked back, and he asked, "Is there any progress?" and he sat down in his seat out of breath.
"It's a long list, that's all. What about you?" asked Wang Lei.
"There has been no substantial progress. ”
"Kan Pufu, I'm going to pour some water, do you want some?" Wang Lei asked with a sad face.
"It's best to have a drink, thank you. He said with his head in his hands, Wang Lei got up and walked to the back.
Han Weixue knew that his opportunity had come, what he needed now was the opportunity to be alone with Kan Pufu, so that he could ask for more information, he looked over at Wang Lei, and then hesitated for a while and said: "I want to tell you something, you may feel uneasy because of this, but I want to tell you that I am from your side." Han Weixue reminded that he didn't want the other party to see him, and he was scared to death.
The other man nodded.
"I know what you are. Han Yuxue said.
"What do you mean?" Kan Pufu didn't quite understand.
"You're a wolf spirit, I hope I'm not wrong. At this time, Kan Pufu became vigilant, and he sat up straight.
"Relax, I'm from the Liu family, and I'll help you find your daughter, but we don't have much time to talk in detail until Wang Lei comes back, so if you have anything to tell me, say it quickly." ”
Kan Pufu looked in Wang Lei's direction and said a little nervously: "Does Wang Lei know about me or you?"
"No, it's not easy to accept that reality. ”
He nodded and said, "Yes, I know." ”
"Will your daughter's disappearance have anything to do with the wolf spirit?"
"I don't know, I never thought about it, we've been out of the group for many years, and my wife and I want to raise Xiao Ran in a more normal environment. Kan Pufu obviously didn't expect this possibility, that is, his previous clan came to him.
"What do you know about the swearing-in ceremony?"
"I knew it was a very primitive ritual and we didn't want to be involved in it at all, but it was my wife's family, they didn't live in this place, they were on the mainland. He laughs and says he doesn't quite believe that's going to happen.
Suddenly, he was stunned and said, "Oh my God." ”
"What's wrong?, what do you remember?" Wang Lei walked over and asked.
"Yes, my wife's family on the mainland.... I was very angry at our departure, accusing me of tearing their family apart and making the relationship very stiff, so I left, but I haven't been in a relationship with them for more than a decade. Kan Pufu seemed to say what he said to Wang Lei, but he actually said it to Han Weixue, meaning that it might be his wife's clan who was looking for trouble.
"I know you've never liked them, but you've never been in touch with them for so many years, and you must have driven them mad to do this. Wang Lei said, indeed, his friends may only have these enemies.
"Yes, there are some things within the family that even close friends won't tell. When he said this, he secretly glanced at Han Weixue, and Han Weixue also knew what he meant.
"Alright, give me a name. ”
"Li Ming, he is my wife's brother, do you really think about this..."He asked Han Weixue halfway through.
"This is just the beginning, what happened when your wife died?"
