"Great Chief, this person is leaking!" When the body was being cleaned up, a soldier covered his nose and said.

Ma Whistle looked over and saw a rendered yellow on the back of a corpse's pants, and this yellow was also leaking through the hem of the pants.

"Bury it on the spot." He directly instructed that this was an open space outside the city, and it would not take much to dig a pit and bury it.

When the soldiers were digging the pit, the horse sentry looked at the captives not far away: "You have also seen the fate of these people, and the result of not admitting their guilt is death." You have also committed a crime, but you have been deceived and coerced, so I will not put you to death, but will only sentence you to five years of hard labor. ”

"As long as you work for Sleeping Bear City for five years, I will return your free body, and those who perform well can also have their sentences reduced and restore their free body ahead of schedule!"

Hearing the news, the captives couldn't help but stir.

"He said that he could release us as long as he worked for five years, is it really false?" The captives were incredulous.

"It should be true, remember the battle between Apache and Alapahoe a year ago, the crows they were not even punished for five years, they were just let go. It seems to be this man who let them go, and the raven calls him the Son of the Sky. ”

"That's right, it's him. He knew that we should follow the crow's advice, and he was right, no one can defeat the children of the sky. The Arapaho sighed.

"I'm afraid five years of labor won't be easy, they should use us as slaves......"

"He said that if you perform well, you can regain your freedom early, and I don't know what constitutes a 'good performance.'"

Listening to the discussion of these prisoners, Ma Sentry did not explain anything, but directly ordered left and right: "Blind shooting, in the future, you will mainly manage the labor of these prisoners, and tomorrow you and the people of the planting department will take all the lightly injured and uninjured prisoners to reclaim the farmland." ”

"Yes." Blind shooting answers.

"Remember, they are only prisoners in need of reform, not enemies, and they will become 'civilized people' under our guidance," Ma Xun admonished. ”

For Sleeping Bear City, there are two definitions of "civilized people", one is what Ma Whistle talks about in class, which is very rich in connotation, not only morality, but also knowledge.

Of course, this is a truly civilized person, but it must be a minority.

Therefore, what is becoming more and more popular is another definition, which is derived from the doctrine of the Spiritual Oracle, which can basically be summarized as "a person who is familiar with and believes in the Spiritual Oracle is a civilized person".

In fact, the original words do not say so, and it is accurate to say that "those who do not read or believe in the "Spiritual Oracle" are not civilized people."

In these two sentences, the latter is the negative proposition of the former or the reverse negative proposition of the reverse proposition, which is not the same thing at all. But even in later generations, such confusion was commonplace, let alone the Indians of the present day.

……

The wind lay on the table, the quill in his hand wrote quickly, and the beautiful handwriting solidified line by line on the paper.

He frowned habitually, though nothing bothered.

"May I come in?" There was a knock at the door.

"Please come in." Fengsheng didn't recognize this voice and hesitated.

A tall boy pushed the door open, shirtless and carrying a rudimentary wooden bow. A year ago, the sleeping bear people were also dressed like this, but now, naturally, outsiders with this appearance can only be outsiders.

"You're from the Chirikawa tribe?" The wind asked.

"Yes, my name is Sleepy and I'm from the Border Clan." The sleepy man was a little restrained, and the environment of Sleeping Bear City had too many novelties for him, "You're the wind, right?" ”

Fengsheng nodded: "I am." ”

Sleepy Man: "Can you tell me about the telescope, how it works, yesterday the Great Chief of the Sentry said you would tell me." ”

"Absolutely." In the short contact, the wind had a good impression of him, probably because both of them often frowned.

With that, he took out a pair of binoculars and disassembled them.

"A telescope is actually a combination of lenses, different lenses play different roles, for example, this eyepiece is placed in front of our eyes, its function is to magnify, you see, I put it on the text......"

Dismantling the telescope and explaining it again, the sleepy man soon realized that this mysterious device, which seemed to be like a magic weapon, was no longer mysterious in an instant.

For the first time, a sleepy man had this kind of experience - from the mysterious to the ordinary, like seeing the sun through the clouds, suddenly enlightened.

Feng Sheng looked at his expression and smiled: "Don't you feel as if you have opened a door to a new world?" ”

"Yes, that's what it feels like! How do you know? The sleepy man's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, which perfectly described how he felt at this time.

Fengsheng said calmly: "In the past few years, especially in the past year, I have felt this way almost every day. ”

"Why?" The sleepy man couldn't help but ask, just one telescope explanation gave him an experience that he had never experienced before, and he couldn't imagine that every day was such an experience.

"Because of our Great Chief, of course." Fengsheng reassembled the telescope, "What I just said is almost a repetition of what the Great Chief told us. ”

"I can only explain telescopes and whatever, and the Great Chief can explain almost everything, whether it's the sun in the sky, or the dust under our feet, or every word on paper."

The sleepy man was stunned, and then remembered something: "I heard that your great chief is a god?" Is this true? ”

"He does look like a god, many people say that, but he doesn't think so, I don't think he's a god, he's just a lot smarter than us." ”

"For example, as far as I know, it took him a few days to learn the white language, and then it took him a few months to become proficient, although this is much faster than ordinary people, but he still has to learn, and there is no essential difference from other people."

As if he realized something, he said, "Of course, you must not argue with the shamans, who insist that the great chiefs are gods, and their mouths will definitely annoy you to death. ”

The sleepy man nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What else did the Great Chief of the Horse Sentry explain to you besides the telescope?" ”

"Hmm...... For example, Galileo's thought experiment. Fengsheng thought for a moment.

The sleepy man listened inexplicably: "Galileo? Thought experiments? ”

"Galileo was a white man, he lived in Europe more than two hundred years ago, and he was the wisest man of his time." Fengsheng got up and found a stack of cards, and pulled one out of it, "Look, this is Galileo, and the Great Chief wrote him into the duel card. ”

"Duel cards?" It's another novelty, but the sleepy man is not completely unaware, but it's the first time he's seen a real thing.

Feng Sheng smiled and said while shuffling the cards, "I'll teach you how to play." ”
