Chapter 37 Controversy
The name of the thin-looking middle-aged man is Zojirushi, when he saw that there was no mark on his palm, he thought that the witch's witchcraft had failed, and he got away with it, he didn't expect that the witch still saw that he was a traitor, what was going on, he couldn't figure it out.
Of course, Zojirushi will not be honest, he pretended to be innocent, and stretched out his palms for the people around him to see, and defended: "I'm not a traitor, I don't believe you can look at my palm, my palm has no mark." β
Everyone looked at the palm of the elephant seal, then looked at their own palm, and also looked at the palm of others, and they found that only the palm of the elephant seal was not dyed red by the red pigment, but the palm of the elephant seal did not have any mark.
Lu Wa sneered: " Catch the traitor, you don't have to use my witchcraft at all, just now in the pit, only filled with water with paint, I deliberately said that the water in the pit was used by me to do sorcery, if everyone does what I want, everyone's palms will be dyed red, if anyone is a traitor, he will inevitably be a thief, worried that the water that has been used for witchcraft will leave a mark on his palm, so when he puts his fists into the pit, he must hold his fists tightly, and dare not stretch out his palms, then his palms will naturally not be dyed red by the paint, and now only Zojirushi is the palm of one person is not dyed red by the paint, so Zojirushi is a moleγ β
Through Lu Wa's explanation, everyone was relieved, it turned out that this was the case.
At this time, Zojirushi was already like a puddle of mud, paralyzed on the ground, he didn't expect that he was actually pitted by the gods, and he used a real pit to pit him, he knew that he couldn't escape at all, so he didn't plan to escape.
Through the interrogation of Zojirus, everyone knew that Zojirushi had become the inside line of the Salt Tribe as early as half a year ago, when he was caught by the Salt Tribe, and then the Salt Tribe released him, after he returned to the tribe, he explained that he was taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the people who were guarding him and escaped, everyone believed his explanation, no wonder in the past six months, when the Long Snake Tribe and the Salt Tribe clashed, every time the Long Snake Tribe suffered, it turned out that the Elephant Seal had always been making trouble.
Zojirushi is not a person from the long snake tribe, he is from the northern tendril tribe, a hunting team in the hunting, from the mouth of a fierce beast to save the elephant seal, since then the elephant seal has stayed in the long snake tribe, did not expect the elephant seal is actually an immature wolf cub, will be revenge.
But what should I do with him if I catch the mole elephant seal, at this time, there is no prison.
The people in the tribe have asked for the Zojira to be executed, but in Fuxi Luwa's worldview, although the Zojira is guilty, but the sin is not to death, if it is really according to the requirements of the people here, the Zojira is executed, they will not be able to pass that hurdle in their hearts, Fuxi thought for a moment, and said: "Actually, the Zojirushi is still useful, we can let the guilty make meritorious service!"
The people of the Long Snake Tribe had never heard of this statement, so everyone looked at Fu Xi very blankly, hoping that Fu Xi could explain it clearly.
Fu Xi cleared his throat and said: "To make meritorious service is to let him go for the time being, but not to let him have freedom, if he can make a meritorious contribution, we will offset the merits and spare him this time." β
The chief opened his mouth and asked, "Zojirushi is a traitor, how can he do something for us?"
Fu Xi said: "We just want to use his identity as a traitor to give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!
As soon as Zojirushi heard that there was a chance to survive, of course he nodded busily: "Okay, well, as long as you can spare me this time, I will do whatever you tell me to do!"
Fu Xi nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Okay, three days later, you will notify the Youyan tribe that we have hunted a lot of prey!"
"Huh?" Zojirushi looked at Fuxi with a puzzled expression, thinking that he had misheard.
Except for the smiling Lu Wa, the expressions of the others were the same as those of Zojirushi, and they didn't understand why Fuxi asked Zojirushi to inform the Youyan tribe, and our tribe had hunted a lot of prey!
Fu Xi confidently continued: "And you also have to inform the Youyan tribe that we are out hunting again, and all the warriors of the hunting team are not in the village!"
Hearing this, the chief, a few elders and some other people with brains finally understood what Fu Xi meant, it turned out that Fu Xi wanted to lure the enemy deeper.
Fu Xi is exactly what he means, when the time comes, they will not go out to hunt, but have already dug the trap, ambushed around the trap, and will kill all the people who come to sneak attack from the Yan tribe, these sneak attackers should be powerful warriors of the Yan tribe after all, as long as they are captured, the Yan tribe will not worry, and then they will rush to the salt tribe, and the salt tribe will be wiped out, so as to prevent future troubles, this is Fu Xi's plan.
However, the chief only agreed to set a trap, and then lure the enemy deeper, teach the sneak attackers a lesson, and let them go back, as for attacking the salt tribe, she and several elders did not agree, because they were worried about the tribal alliance, and they were afraid that after destroying the salt tribe, the tribal alliance would punish the long snake tribe.
Fu Xi explained: "If we don't get rid of the salt tribe, our tribe will always be harassed by the salt tribe, is this what the chief wants to see, besides, we just let the salt tribe disappear, and we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, everyone from their tribe can join our tribe, so that when the tribal alliance is held accountable, we will say that the people of the salt tribe voluntarily joined us, and what can they do with us!"
The chief shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think, the great chief of the tribal alliance has always been from the flintfire tribe, and the big chief will never make the other tribes in the tribal alliance stronger, so as not to threaten the status of the flintfire tribe, so the tribal alliance has always forbidden the various tribes to merge with each other." β
Fu Xi argued: "But in fact, there are many tribes that are secretly annexing each other, why can't our tribe annex other tribes!"
He knew through the memories in his head that there was actually a merger between the tribes.
The chief sighed, her mind was filled with the warnings of the previous chieftain and the instructions left by her ancestors, and she didn't dare to disobey them, so she said with a resolute face: "I don't care about the annexation of other tribes, but our tribe will never allow the annexation of other tribes!"
Fu Xi sighed in his heart that this chief was too conservative, no wonder the Long Snake Tribe was the weakest of the tribal alliance, she was so timid and unenterprising, how could the tribe become strong, in fact, except for the chief and a few elders, everyone else wanted to destroy the annoying salt tribe.
After arguing with the chief for a long time, Fuxi couldn't shake the will of the chief and several elders, and even Lu Wa, who was a god and witch, couldn't change the minds of the chief and others, and in the end he had no choice but to retreat and promise the chief and several elders that when the time came, they would only attack the Youyan tribe and teach them a hard lesson, and they would not destroy the Youyan tribe.
The chief and several elders saw that many people supported Fuxi's idea, and they couldn't go against the will of the people, so they had to nod their heads in agreement.
