"I didn't expect that just because of a newspaper, you would have the opportunity to stay in the Raout tribe, and the things in this world are really incomprehensible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Qin Ran listened with great interest, and suddenly such a sentence came out.

"yes, if I hadn't put it in my bag that day, I might have died. Solga smiled and stroked his beard, "Come, I'll take a sip of water, and I'll talk to you." ”

When Zhang Zhensan next to him heard this, he quickly got up and filled the little water left in the cup. His hands were handed to Solgar.

"You haven't said anything about the Shadow Tamer of Raout?" Qin Ran couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart.

Seeing this, Solga gently patted him on the shoulder with his hand, and said lightly: "Young man, don't be impatient." Then, after a pause, he began to speak in a colorful voice.

After Solgar's health improved, he often walked around the clan, and it was a good opportunity to learn about their tribal culture. Because of the language barrier, most of the time, it was Manritai who took him around, which also gave Solga a good opportunity to talk.

"Manritai, Manritai... Solgar began to mutter again, always feeling that the name was somewhat familiar, and he could not remember where he had seen it.

"Eh, I said, why do you always pronounce my name as a foreigner? With the unique accent of Manlithai, listening to these sentences, I always feel very happy.

Solga struggled to hold back a laugh and steady his mind. "Don't get me wrong, I like women. Solga laughed heartily. "I just think your name is familiar, I should have seen it somewhere. ”

"I know, come, I'll take you somewhere. Manritai said as he led Solga towards the center of the tribe.

In a clearing in the center, from a long distance, Solga smelled a strange smell, inhaled it into his nose, and when he couldn't say that it was fragrant, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if he had been drained of his strength all at once. If you look closely, you can see a pyramid-like structure in front of you. The surface is uneven and is made up of round balls.

"What is this?" Solgar looked puzzled, not knowing what the name had to do with it.

"This is the Church of the Ancestors of Raout. Manritai folded his hands and bowed in awe.

Seeing this, Solga also followed the example of Manritai and respectfully worshiped the Ancestral Hall. Because there was a distance away, I could only get a rough look, and as I slowly approached the Ancestral Hall, the smell became more and more intense. As if there was an inexplicable attraction, Solga gradually walked over to the ball of objects. I put my hand on the polished and shiny ball, and I couldn't help but touch it a few more times. Unexpectedly, that thing is not fixed, but can be turned.

Solga, who was in a good mood, turned slowly little by little, and when the front of the thing was facing him, Solga screamed "ah", and then fell directly to the ground because of excessive fright.

What he saw was nothing else, it was the human head!! sitting on the ground, Solga was shocked, looked at his hand, what he had just touched... It's a human skull?!!

Seeing Solgar's embarrassed appearance, Manritai stepped forward and helped him up. Didn't speak, laughed but didn't speak.

"This ,,, your clan cannibalism?" Solga came out with such a sentence for a long time, and he regretted it a little after speaking, how could there be such a question.

"Hahaha, if you look closely, is it a human head?"

Solga wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and looked closer with a trembling look, although it looked like a human head roughly, but a closer look could still discern a big difference, the facial bones were very prominent, and the bones from the eye sockets appeared large and sunken inward. On both sides of the skull, it is clearly inward.

"This is... Monkey head?" Solgar slowly calmed down.

"Well, this ancestral hall is the most important place in our clan, and every time we move to wherever we go, we always carry a few core monkey heads with us. ”

"Huh, the core monkey?"

"Yes, you must have smelled a strange smell when you came in. That is the core monkey hair comes out, his smell can make people numb all over the body, with the bones of the core monkey head, brush into ash, soaked into water, has a good therapeutic effect. Therefore, our people, every time they migrated, they took them with them, and every time they went to a new place, they first used a tree branch to prop up a scaffold and put the core monkey head in it, and then every time the tamers captured the monkey, they cleaned the head and placed it neatly outside the core monkey head. And so it went on until we reached our new dwelling. ”

"And what does that have to do with your name?" Solga remained suspicious.

"Because the people enshrined in the Hall of the First Ancestors must be very familiar to you. Manritai straightened the turban he was wearing on his head and straightened the hem of his clothes. He said in a respectful tone: "It is the founder of our clan who is enshrined inside, the Barbarian Gu. ”

Solgar's eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost jumped up. "You're talking about King Manhi's Auxiliary Minister, the legendary resolute and upright Nepalese?"

"Looks like you know a lot. Manritai nodded slightly. "It's him. ”

"Your name is Manritai, then you are his... Solgar's voice gradually became quieter, and he looked again at the not simple old man in front of him.

"That's right, I'm his twelfth generation, and I'm the current patriarch of the Raot clan. There was a kind of resolute pride in the words.

"That's right, that's right! I've been wondering where I've heard the name, and it looks like my brain broke when I fell down the mountain. Hahaha" Solga clapped his hands excitedly and couldn't help but shout. "I'll just say that Manxi culture has never been a legend, it has really existed!"

"It's not called existence," Hearing this, Manlitai's tone was slightly serious, and his eyes looked at the Ancestral Hall firmly, "Now, it is still full of vitality." ”

Hearing this, Solga couldn't help but admire the wrinkled old man in front of him.

"Let's go, let's look elsewhere. Manritai beckoned Solga to walk slowly towards the edge of the camp.

On the way, we passed a place with two large iron cages, and there were quite a few monkeys in them. Jumping up and down, making a whining sound, Solga remembered that when he first came, the sound he heard seemed to be made by the monkey in the iron cage.

"This is where we keep the monkeys, it's called the Regeneration House. Manritai said as he walked.

"Regeneration house? Solga muttered quietly.

"In our tribal culture, the monkey is the one who made a heinous mistake in the previous life, and when we eat it, we are helping it survive the calamity and help it reincarnate. Let these monkeys be reborn as humans. Manritai wasn't annoyed at all, just explained carefully.

Solga didn't say much, there was no justification for cultural differences.

After this stop-and-go introduction, he found that the whole Laout tribe had not taken root in a small place, just in the depths of a valley, on both sides of relatively steep cliffs, and the cliffs were covered with lush vegetation, which imprinted the whole valley with a peaceful green. At the end of the steep terrain, a large area of flames was overgrown, hovering in the air one by one, emitting bursts of red light. The boundaries of the entire valley are outlined. The interplay of red and green weaves a moving scene.

Standing in front of the steep mountain wall, a flame slowly floated in front of Solgar's eyes. Grabbing it, Solga let out another rapid scream, then put his finger to his mouth and sucked it. After a while, he spat the ground. "It's so good that the scar forgot the pain, that's how I fell off the cliff in the first place. Solga said with some reproach. Although he said this, his eyes were still inseparable from the bright flame.

"Oh, you, what are you talking about!" said Manritai, angry, and funny. "That flame juan is pretty, but its stems are covered with barbs, so you need to be careful. ”

"Uh-huh. Solga put his finger to his mouth again, and replied in a hesitant manner, with some embarrassment on his face.

Taking advantage of this gap, Manritai put his hands behind his back to his chest, and took out the newspaper that saved Solgar's life from the inner pocket of the clothes he was wearing. Then, he put the newspaper in front of Solgar's eyes and shook it. "Why, when you see this glowing plant, you don't want to hear the story here?"

As soon as he looked at the newspaper in his hand, Solga instantly came to his senses and forgot the pain in his fingers. "Of course I wanted to know, I kept asking, but I didn't find the right opportunity. As he spoke, he put aside the flame juan he had just carefully picked up.

Then through conversation, Solga learns the ins and outs of the story.

As one of the countless people in the tribe at that time who did not know many foreign languages, Manritai became the only candidate for trade between the Rauts and the foreigners. The Raut would cut down the best timber from the vicinity of the camp. Because of the large amount of felling, trees have become the main item to exchange goods with foreigners, but the value is not high, and transactions can be completed through simple gesture communication, so this kind of transaction is generally not shown by Barita. The most valuable thing in the Raout tribe is the monkey skin, and the tribesmen will pay great attention to the knife when killing the monkey to ensure the integrity of the monkey skin. As the monkey population decreases, the value of monkey skins also increases, and generally a few monkey skins can be exchanged for the daily necessities needed by an entire clan. Therefore, the transaction of monkey skins is generally done by Manritai himself.

That day, Manritai took two people from the mountains down the mountain to trade monkey skins. When I arrived at the village a few miles away, I encountered an accident and was blocked by a group of people. Manritai and the two fell to the ground everywhere. The group took the opportunity to snatch the monkey skin that Manritai had brought with him, and then fled deep into the woods.

Manritai pressed the wound with his hand, but the bleeding still couldn't stop, although the knife wound was not fatal, but after a long time, it would still be life-threatening due to excessive blood loss.

"And what are you going to do?" said Solgar, worried.

That's when the adventure photographer passed by. Manritai looked at the mountains of flames, and there was a slight moisture in the corners of his eyes. "He wanted to go into the mountains to take pictures of some steep natural scenery, passing by there, he found us along the bloodstains, at that time he saw that we were in a dangerous situation, and there was a big pool of blood under him, so he quickly used some first-aid medicine he carried with him to do a simple treatment for the three of us, and stopped the bleeding with bandages. Manritai's language was full of gratitude.

Walking over to the flame juan that Solgar had placed, Manritai held it in his hand the third below the stem. Leisurely picked up the flower. "Remember, this place in Flame Juan has no barbs. You'll have a long memory in the future," Barritai smiled. Slowly walked over to Solgar's side and continued. "He wanted to turn around and go to the village to find someone to help us, but I refused. ”

"Refused? You're all like that... Solga was a little incomprehensible.

"The Raot at that time could not be discovered by others!" replied Barritai, in a loud voice. "Then, I had him take us to the edge of the cliff covered with flames, where you fell. ”

"Hmm. Solga listened intently, not wanting to interrupt Barritai.

"The four of us, holding each other in this way, stumbled to the edge of the cliff, and one of my clansmen whined loudly and rhythmically, and the sound traveled far and wide, and finally... ”

"What did it end up with?"

"We've been brought back by the Clan's Shadow Tamers. ”

Hearing the word Shadow Tamer again filled Solgar with a sense of yearning and always wanted to find out. "You mean the person who took the picture of you saved your life. After a pause, Solgar came up with this.

"Yes, without him, I wouldn't be standing in front of you today and saying so much to you. Manritai sighed.

"Then you brought him back to the tribe, do you have any requirements?"

"Didn't ask for anything, just asked to take me a picture. That is, the newspaper you brought, this picture that is not very clear. As he spoke, he put the newspaper in front of his eyes and studied it carefully.

"What a dedicated guy. Solga secretly admired in his heart.

After that, he left quietly, and I never found a chance to repay the favor, no, let you pick up a big bargain. Manritai laughed, although he said that, after this period of contact, Manritai still liked Solgar a little bit.

"Didn't you want to ask about the Shadow Tamer?" said Manritai, who seemed to see what was on Solgar's mind. "Open your eyes today. ”

He shouted a few words in the tribal language in the direction of the regeneration house. After a while, two young and strong men and a girl came. Dressed in a similar way to Manritai, except that the headscarf on his head went around the back of his head and in front of his face, covering his face from the nose down. The pattern of the shawl worn on the body is complex and beautiful, and the shawl is dressed in black leather, and the position of the wrist and ankle is wrapped with monkey skin, and the fluff on it looks very shiny.

"This is the one who saved you, Kada. His name means clever in the language of Raut. Manritai walked up to a young man and said. I saw that Kadasheng's Kong Wu was powerful, and his strong body supported the black leather clothes bulging.

"Qatar. Solgar learned the Manritai pronunciation and said hello to Kada in a lacker manner.

Kada didn't speak, but responded with a smile.

"This is Mia, the only female filmmaker, and the other is called Zink. Okay, without further ado, let's take our guests and get a good look. As soon as Manritai finished speaking, Solga didn't realize what was going on, and Kada hugged him, and the other two helped to tie him to Kada's back with a rope.

"Woo-woo-woo, ahhhh

Kada carried Solga on his back, together with Zinke and Mia, grabbed the rattan that fell from the cliff, climbed up quickly, and jumped back and forth between the gaps in the cliff from time to time.

The four of them passed through a cave in the cliff, and after a short walk in the darkness, Solga felt a light appear in front of them, and the more they reached the entrance of the cave, the more intense it became, and Solga instinctively closed his eyes.

Well, Kada took an arrow step and came to the entrance of the cave, and then jumped directly onto the tree without making any stops. When Solga opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dense forest, although the foliage was very luxuriant, but the three of them seemed to have deliberately chosen a place where the sun could shine, standing close to the top of the tree, and the shadows cast by the sun seemed particularly long.

As soon as the frightened Solga wanted to speak, he saw Mia standing opposite, put her finger to her lips, and made a quiet gesture towards him. Solga had no choice but to give up.

I could hear the sound of a fine rustle among the trees not far away, accompanied by the sound of branches breaking from time to time, and the leaves kept falling down in the direction from which the sound came.

Mia whined twice, and echoed a few times in the woods not far away. As he continued to scream, he felt the sound of the trees gradually moving closer to him.

Kada instantly held his breath and looked intently ahead. Zink stood on another tree not far away, in the shape of a triangle with the other two.

With a thud, a monkey leaped out of the leaves in the direction of Miya. Mia nodded to the other two, and the three of them concentrated at the same time, just looking at the shadows of the three people, suddenly as if they had life, from the point of the trunk of the tree, quickly approached upward, and at the moment of contact with the monkey, the shadows of the three were intertwined with each other, as if weaving a net in the air, firmly controlling the monkey in mid-air, a cage made of shadows...

Drip, drip, a rapid mobile phone ringtone pulled Solga, Zhang Zhensan and Qin Ran back from the long memories.

"Who the is calling so inappropriately, I haven't heard enough of Lao Tzu's story?" Qin Ran, who was disturbed by the phone, instantly lost his temper.

Zhang Zhensan was also uncomfortable, this story of the old man Solga really hooked his soul. I wanted to hang up the phone directly, and then turn it off, but then I looked at the phone from the assistant in the store, and after thinking about it, I picked it up.

"Hey, what's wrong. Zhang Zhensan said impatiently. Suddenly, he looked nervous. "What!! well, okay, I'll be back. ”

"What's wrong. What's going on?" Seeing that Zhang Zhensan's expression was wrong, Qin Ran and Solga asked with concern.

"My antique shop has been stolen!!" Zhang Zhen was 30,000 anxious, and stood there at a loss.
