Chapter 36: Catch the Mole

After receiving this bad news, everyone hurried to speed up their pace and rush back to the village.

Before they stepped into the village, Fuxi and the others heard many miserable cries from afar.

When they returned to the village, they saw that the village was in ruins, many thatched huts had been burned down, many of the wounded people were lying on the ground and wailing in pain, several women were holding their wounded children and weeping bitterly, and the chief was shaking his head in grief and sighing.

This group of shameless guys, we haven't had time to teach you a lesson, you actually took advantage of our absence to sneak attack our tribe, no, you must kill them.

The people of the hunting team were all filled with righteous indignation, and they all wanted to kill the salt tribe immediately and teach these shameless things a lesson.

The salt tribe is located in the northwest of the long snake tribe, not far from the long snake tribe, cross the Fengli River, and then cross a mountain, you can reach the salt tribe, because the two tribes are not far apart, so they often fight each other because of the competition for territory and prey, but there is a tribal alliance, and the two tribes do not dare to fight too fiercely, otherwise the tribal alliance will intervene and severely punish the tribe that provokes trouble.

Although the Salt Tribe is also a relatively weak tribe in the Tribal Alliance, there is a Lake of Death on their territory, and the lake of Death can produce a large amount of natural salt, they can collect natural salt, and then go to the trading area of the Tribal Alliance to sell it in exchange for food, daily necessities, and even weapons, so compared to the Long Snake Tribe, they are richer and stronger.

However, the salt tribe does not want to forge ahead, only knows that blindly rely on the collection of natural salt to survive, the final result is that the high quality of natural salt is less and less, and the yield is getting less and less, so in recent years, the natural salt collected by the salt tribe is of poor quality, mixed with a lot of impurities, and they even deliberately mixed with soil and sand in the salt to fill the number, which caused people from other tribes to be dissatisfied, more and more people would rather go on a risk hunting, drink more animal blood, and are not willing to exchange natural salt with the salt tribe, which leads to less and less food in exchange for the salt tribe, but where they live, there are few prey, so in recent years, they often enter the territory of the Long Snake tribe to hunt, which makes the two tribes often clash.

The strange thing is that in the past, people from the Yan tribe came over every now and then to secretly hunt and make trouble in the north of Fengli Village, but for more than a month, they didn't come to hunt and make trouble, did they also know that there was a megalodon tiger in the north of the village?

It can only be explained in this way, recently Fu Xi and Lu Wa got rid of the Megalodon Tiger, and the people of the Salt Tribe ran over to sneak attack the Long Snake Tribe, and also snatched the leftover Silver Horn Thunder Beast meat, as well as a lot of animal skins, these shameless people are simply too shameless.

It's just a little strange, why didn't the people from the Salt Tribe come early or late, but when Fu Xi and the others went to hunt the Silver Horned Thunder Beast, they came to attack the Long Snake Tribe?

It must be a trick to deceive people, so Fu Xi thinks it is very likely that there is an inner line of the salt tribe in the Long Snake Tribe, if the inner line is not removed, and the attack on the Yan tribe will only be defeated, because the salt tribe is originally stronger than the Long Snake tribe, and there is a traitor to ventilate the news, the Long Snake tribe will definitely be defeated.

So after the wounded of the tribe settled down, Fu Xi told Lu Au about the speculation and worry in his heart, and he also proposed a way to find out the traitor, but he needed Lu Ao's help, because he was now in the tribe, and he didn't have enough influence to implement his method, and Lu Au was a god and witch, but he could.

After the discussion, Lu Wa asked the chief to gather all the people in the tribe together, let them all gather around a big fire, and sit on the ground, so as not to try to escape after the mole was exposed, and Fu Xi stood aside, monitoring the people who had any abnormal movements, and after confirming that everyone was present, Lu Wa stood up and spoke:" Today, all the hunting teams in our Fengli Village went out to hunt, and it was also today that the people of the Long Snake Tribe suddenly came to attack our tribe, which is not a coincidence, but it is related, because there are traitors in our tribe. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and talked about it, and the chieftain and several elders showed a surprised look on their faces, they didn't expect that there would be a mole in the tribe, but the gods and witches said it so conclusively, they had to be a little suspicious that there was really a mole in the tribe.

Lu Wa and the others gradually quieted down, and continued: "If the traitor is not eliminated, our tribe will always be bullied by the salt tribe, so I summoned everyone here today to prepare to use witchcraft and find out the traitor!"

The gods and witches want to use witchcraft to find out the traitor, most of them have expressed their support, and a small number of people are afraid that the innocent will be affected, and Fu Xi on the side quickly searched in the crowd, trying to find out the person who was abnormal, but he did not find it.

Lu Wa looked at Fu Xi, Fu Xi shook his head gently, saying that he didn't find anything, and it seemed that he could only find out the traitor according to the method proposed by Fu Xi before:" Not far behind me, I dug a pit, and filled it with water that had been used for witchcraft, and for a moment everyone clenched their fists, and then reached into the pit, and when they had reached in, they had to spread out their hands and stir twice in the water, and then they clenched their hands into fists, and went back to their original places and sat down, remembering that their fists must be kept clenched all the time, and they were not allowed to be opened, until I came to check them one by one, and if anyone was a mole, the water that had been used for witchcraft would leave a mark on whose palm, and I could tell at a glance who was a mole!"

Although the request made by the gods and witches is a bit strange, but the people of the tribe are convinced of the witchcraft, so they don't suspect anything, since this method can find out the traitor, they can just do it, as long as it is not a traitor, the witch should not wronged people for no reason.

In order to show justice, in the Long Snake Tribe, except for the chief and the witch, everyone else needs to be tested, and Fu Xi is the first to take the lead in following Lu Wa's words, the pit was dug by him a long time ago, the water in it is water mixed with paint, and the pit is covered with dry grass, leaving only two round holes, and the fists are just able to pass through these two holes, and now it is dark, and there is dry grass, so it is impossible to see the situation inside the pit.

After Fu Xi finished doing it, he returned to the original place, and then all the people who needed to be tested lined up in a long line, and they did it one by one according to Fu Xi's previous actions.

Soon, all the people who needed to be tested stirred twice in the puddle with their hands, and everyone saw that their fists were red, and so were others', and they couldn't see who was different at all, although they didn't know what the result was, but they were very curious, how could the gods and witches find out the traitor next.

After everyone sat down, Lu Wa spoke: "When I check for a while, don't speak, and don't look at the palms of other people's hands, otherwise, I will treat you as a traitor!"

The people of the tribe obey the words of the gods and witches as if they were holy decrees, so they will not disobey the explanations of the gods and witches.

Fu Xi first opened his fist and let Lu Wa inspect it, and the palms of his hands were dyed red with red paint.

Next, Lu Au asked the people to open their fists one by one, and almost all of their palms were dyed red with red paint, but when Lu Au checked a middle-aged man with a thin appearance, his palms were not dyed red with red paint, and he saw that there was no mark on his palms, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally tense expression also relaxed.

Lu Ao remained silent, straightened her waist, and glanced at Fu Xi, and then she continued to check the palms of other people's hands, and the palms of other people's hands were also dyed red with red pigment like Fu Xi.

Fu Xi had quietly come behind the middle-aged man, Lu Wa glanced at everyone present, her expression was very sure, she suddenly pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Zojirushi is a traitor!"
