Chapter 157 Water Moon Stream
"What's wrong?"
Ping went to deliver food to the guard's Fu Xiang, and talked to the guards over there for a while, and only now did she come back, but before she could enter the house, she saw people around the pool, and walked quickly.
"Ping, two treasure fish have been killed here!" a woman with a loud voice said.
Ping was shocked, after hearing the ins and outs, she wanted to break the murderer into pieces, but unfortunately the murderer is still unknown. I heard that Shao Xuan was misunderstood again, and he was very dissatisfied, "Shao Xuan is a good person! ”
"What?!"
Someone doesn't like the Water Moon Stone?!
The people around suddenly felt that Shao Xuan was really safe, and those who beat the idea of Shui Yueshi in their tribe were not good people, in comparison, Shao Xuan, an outsider who was not interested in Shui Yueshi, everyone suddenly felt much more cordial. But then thinking about it, how could Shao Xuan not like the Water Moon Stone? What a good thing, why didn't he like it?
"Shao Xuan, the Water Moon Stone is really good, you can go to other tribes to exchange a lot of things. ”
"Yes, yes, Shao Xuan, it must be that the water moon stone of their house is small and dark, maybe it is an old stone that has been put for a few years, you come to my house, our water moon stone is big and bright, it was only fished out last year, if it comes out this year, there will definitely be a bigger one!"
"Come to my house, my family's water moon stone is also big, my daughter personally put it away last year, by the way, ★ my daughter is over there, but it's beautiful, Shao Xuan, you will definitely like it." The aunt's vertical eyes narrowed and pointed in her direction.
Shao Xuan looked in the direction pointed by the aunt, and on the steps of a house over there, there was a young girl, and at this moment, the girl was smiling with her mouth open to the ear. Probably because I was having dinner just now. There are still blood stains on Sen Bai's teeth, and he really has a bloody mouth.
"Huh. Shao Xuan turned his head and smiled with a stiff face.
Fortunately, it was not the time to say much at this moment, so Chun took away the two little crocodiles that had been killed, and told the families to pay attention to the abnormalities around them, and also to pay attention to the little crocodiles in the pool around their homes.
Shao Xuan held the corbel. Bloodied, he returned to the house.
Although he was wronged twice, these people really didn't know what to do.
After all, he was not injured, and besides, Shao Xuan still wanted to follow them to understand other tribes, and now the Yu tribe also wanted to brush up their favorability, and Shao Xuan would not quarrel with them because of this.
Ping looked at the little crocodile in Shao Xuan's hand, and felt sad for a while, she was watching them come out of the shell, when the shell broke. Because the big crocodile had left, she also helped them break their shells with her own hands.
Many people in the Yu tribe are reckless and irritable, but they are easily sad, and they talk a lot when they are sad, and after Ping went back, he told Shao Xuan a lot of things about those little crocodiles.
The current batch of small crocodiles in the tribe are not small crocodiles that come out of the breeding season, they belong to a minority. Without the protection of large crocodiles, these small crocodiles are vulnerable. So the tribesmen take extra care of these little crocodiles every year.
In general, the big crocodiles who left. When the river rises again after the double moon coincides, it will return here to lay eggs and hatch its young, which is the time when a large number of crocodile cubs are born.
Look at the three little crocodiles and only one left. Ping started crying as she spoke, and at this time, Shen Jia also returned home, distracting Ping's attention, and Shao Xuan took the little crocodile with dark brown eyes back to the room.
Now still, he pondered what he had heard. And some of the details you see when you walk to the other side of the pool.
Although this is not the core area of the Cha tribe, there are also a lot of houses, except for everyone who guards outside, how can there be people walking outside, just let the fierce beast sneak in here from the outside without a sound?
If it wasn't for the insiders, then the person who killed the two little crocodiles would be too capable.
The little crocodile that Shao Xuan brought back was still calling, probably frightened, and now he didn't want to go back to the pool, and followed Shao Xuan all the time.
The three baby crocodiles are in the same litter, and they often move together, even if they are not too far apart.
The tribesmen say that these little crocodiles are very sensitive to people's likes and dislikes, and maybe they will call out when they find that person, and they may also be killed because of their calls, because if they are allowed to call like this, they will attract the attention of others.
Now, the screaming is dead, and in front of it, its "dumb" saved its life.
Shen Jia, who had comforted his mother with his body, came to Shao Xuan and asked, "When you went over, you only saw the little treasure fish that was killed, and you really didn't see anyone?"
Shao Xuan looked up at Shen Jia, this kid had been beaten again for running around at night, but this injury was nothing to them at all.
"Didn't see strangers. Shao Xuan said. Although he was not familiar with several families around him, he had met and had the impression that he did not see anyone else around at that time, and he did not notice any strangers around him before that.
"It doesn't have to be a stranger, say, someone you know?"
Shen Jia was a little entangled, he was not good at concealing it, and the expression on his face told Shao Xuan what this kid was thinking.
As a person from the outside, Shao Xuan would not talk lightly about the people of the Yu tribe, but asked rhetorically: "Yesterday, who pushed you down the riverbank?"
Shen Jia looked up in surprise, "How do you know that I was pushed by someone?" After coming back, he only told people that he accidentally fell, but he never told anyone the truth.
"Guess. Shao Xuan said. Although Shen Jia looks very unreliable, it can be seen from many details that this kid is still very cautious, and it is impossible to pass like this knowing that there is danger on the bank of the river. Maybe the leader of the tribe and Wu also knew, but they didn't press Shen Jia, and even, they might know more, those two were not simple-minded people.
The secret was hidden in his heart for two days, and Shen Jia felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, but he didn't dare to say it to the rest of the tribe.
"So, do you think there is an inner ghost?" asked Shao Xuan.
"What is an 'inner ghost'?"
This means that the people who do these things are the people who are lurking within the tribe. ”
“...... Well. "Since they all say that Shao Xuan is a good person, then it should be able to say it, right?" Shen Jia thought to himself.
"I sneaked out that day and saw somebody walking towards the riverbank, so I followed. There were other people there, and I heard them talking, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. When they left, and I reached the bank of the river, I was pushed vigorously. Shen Jia told Shao Xuan what he had encountered that day. 、
"What does that guy look like?"
“...... No...... I don't remember. Shen Jia bit his hand, very entangled. He really tried to think about it, but he just couldn't think of it, and he always felt that the person's face was blurry, but looking at the figure, it really looked like a tribe person. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have kept it a secret, he really couldn't remember what the man looked like.
Shao Xuan patted Shen Jia's shoulder, "If you don't remember, forget it." Also, don't tell anyone about this, even if you do, you have to find someone who absolutely believes, such as your parents, if that inner ghost knows that you still know a lot of things, maybe you will end up like the two little treasure fish who were killed tonight. ”
"Why?!" Shen Jia looked horrified.
"Because they will bark. Shao Xuan also held up the "dumb" little crocodile in his hand, "But it won't." So it survived. ”
Shen Jia is not too stupid, and after thinking about it, he understands what Shao Xuan means. With a white face, "I'll go find A-Niang first!"
Regardless of whether the facts are as Shao Xuan thinks, scare Shen Jia, at least he won't run around alone anymore, otherwise, he may really be killed.
"There are many tribes. It is easy to mess up, too. You said yes, right?" Shao Xuan handed a piece of torn meat to the little crocodile's mouth.
Crocodiles' teeth belong to the alveolar teeth, and they cannot bite a piece of meat directly from their prey like felines, so they must bite the meat off by guò tumbling or rocking, which is the familiar "death rolling" and "swinging dance" of crocodiles.
Watching the little crocodile bite the meat and start rolling, Shao Xuan thought of the people of the tribe again. and Caesar them.
I don't know what happened to them now.
I didn't think I left the tribe, but now I miss them a little. I remember that on the day I left, Shao Xuan wanted to say "Don't worry" to Wu and Lao Ke, but after only saying two words, they were beaten with crutches.
Thinking about it, Shao Xuan couldn't help laughing.
The moonlight outside the window is brighter than last night, and it will soon be the day when the two moons coincide, and if you want to go back, you will have to wait at least a year.
......
In the next few days, the tribe was peaceful, and no abnormal conditions occurred, but Fu Xiang and other people in charge of the tribe's guards were more vigilant.
The day of the double moon is one of the most important days of the year, except for the sacrificial ceremony. They call it the "Water Moon Festival".
In the Shan tribe, there is a small river that zigzags around the tribe, which is called "the water moon flow channel" by the people of the Shan tribe.
Before and after the coincidence, when the level of the great river is lowered, the "Suiyue Channel" will be disconnected from the river of the great river. When the two moons in the night sky coincided, every household in the tribe stayed in the section of the flow channel closest to their homes, waiting for the water moon stone to come out, and then went down to fish.
Even though Shao Xuan was a little curious about the production of the Water Moon Stone, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not take the initiative to follow him. However, Ping was very enthusiastic, probably because he was told that his water moon stone was not good that night, and he wanted to prove it in front of Shao Xuan, so he asked Shao Xuan to go with him.
Fu Xiang was in charge of guarding and guarding the vicinity of the channel, and was not with Ping and Shen Jia.
"My family is sure to be the best this year!"
"Nonsense, my family's is!"
"Don't fight, anyway, the number one must be my family. ”
Before they reached the Shuiyue Stream, a group of children began to argue.
The tribe has zoned for each family, and when the time comes, the water moon stone can only be collected in its own area, more or less, it has to be borne by itself, and it has nothing to do with others.
Shao Xuan, Ping, and Shen Jia stood together, and this was the area of Shen Jia's house.
Looking at the murky river in front of you, which is no more than five meters wide, it is difficult to associate it with the name "Suizuki Channel". Shao Xuan was looking forward to what was coming next, how did such a bright stone come out of this murky river?
There were more and more overlapping parts of the two moons in the sky, and Shao Xuan suddenly heard some dense and small sounds, as if fine iron powder was forcibly sucked over because of magnetic force.
And the originally muddy river in front of him is becoming clearer and clearer at a speed visible to the naked eye. (To be continued......)
