Chapter 194: The Crow Totem with a Black Head and a Red Body
"Don't listen to his nonsense, do I still not know if he has an ancient curse on him? I grew up in this village, and I am a descendant of the royal family, will I harm you? β
Wu Xiken's face was grim, and when he looked back at his father and fellow villagers, his eyes were also firm.
But he was lying.
I really have a curse on me, and I'm not wrong.
It's just that I don't know if this curse will harm anyone else.
"You're lying!" Instead of shouting angrily.
My eyelids jumped instantly, and it was over.
"My brother has already told me that when he came, my brother had already discovered that he had a curse on him. It's just that because he is a descendant of Aunt Qiao, my brother didn't dare to do anything to him at all. All the elders must obey Aunt Qiao, and naturally there is a sense of responsibility in their bodies, and they must protect her offspring. β
When Dai Ji lowered his head and said these words, it was like talking about someone else's family, and he had nothing to do with him, and this calm attitude made me feel that he must be ruthless.
He raised his head suddenly, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "But I'm not an elder, I don't need to follow Aunt Qiao's words, and I don't need to protect her descendants." I am just a human being, and I want to protect my descendants first. If he stays here, the curse on him will bring misfortune to our stockade, and it will endanger my descendants, so he must be killed!" β
"What evidence do you have?"
"yes, what evidence do you have? You take it out and talk about it first, Wen Jie often helps us do things and work after entering our village, this time Uncle Jin was buried, he and his friends were busy without a word of complaint, why do you say that? β
The crowd began to speak for me, and it made me realize that I should not be welcomed in their village.
Hearing everyone's questions, Dai Ji smiled: "I said, why are you so naΓ―ve?" Don't you see the totem on his hand?! β
Totem?
I lowered my head and looked at my arm, isn't this a scar?
"Don't fart here, Brother Xiaojie has a scar on his hand, and the trouble we encountered on the way here was solved by Brother Xiaojie, and at that time he also had a scar on his hand." Al was young and vigorous, and as he spoke, he struggled with the restraints of Usiken.
"So you're young and don't understand anything. If you look closely, there is no scar on his hand at all, but a totem. If his two fingers are put together, he will become a crow. The scar on his left hand is black, and it is also the head of a crow. The scar on the right hand is red, and it is the body of a crow. Black-headed red-body, I'm sure you all know what it means! β
By that time, he had put away his hippie smile, and he explained it to the villagers and elders seriously.
And when everyone heard the black-headed and red-bodied crow, everyone took a few steps back, away from me and Xizi.
Even Xizi, who was in my arms, was shocked and looked up at me in fear.
I gently let go of Saiko, she was already scared after what had just happened, and I didn't want to make her feel more upset because of the scar on my body.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I have already taken this responsibility. If he really has an ancient curse on him, those who help him heal the curse will also be rewarded. Wu Xiken looked at Dai Ji: "No matter what, I will not hand these two people into your hands, I advise you to leave quickly." β
Just when everyone didn't know how to solve this matter, Al broke free of Usiken's hand: "Don't talk nonsense with him, let's go find the elder!" β
With that, Al took me and Xizi by the way, left the crowd, and walked towards the Elder's house.
I looked back at Usiken, and it was clear from his eyes that I was going to follow Al first, and I didn't say anything more.
When I walked into the elder's house, he was wearing glasses and looking at all kinds of materials, and I didn't know if he knew that something big was going on outside.
Al panted and pushed open the door of the Elder's house without knocking.
The elder looked up through the thick lenses, and we finally took them off and sighed.
"What happened? Don't you know how to knock on my door first? How did your parents teach you? β
A series of questions made Al angry, who had said he was fine, but when it came to his parents, he became angry.
"I want to ask your parents how they taught your brother?! He gathered so many villagers by the river alone and talked nonsense there, why don't you care about it as an elder? β
Al's words made the Elder's face turn pale.
Although there is no distinction between respect and inferiority in the village, even the elders can get along with people of different ages, even if the other party does not pay attention to etiquette.
But an elder is an elder after all, and I reached out and pulled Lael to tell him to pay attention to his emotions.
"You wait outside first, I'll talk to the elders. By the way, help me see if those people come with me, and if it's Usicken, let him in. β
With the task I assigned, Al was also willing, and he looked back angrily at the elder and turned away.
The elder looked at Al's back and sighed, "It's not big or small. β
"Your brother told me that I had a crow with a black head and a red body, what is that? Why do people feel scared when they hear it? β
I didn't pay much attention to the elder's emotions, and just sat down and asked questions.
He looked at me: "You can see if you put your two hands together, it is indeed a crow with a black head and a red body." There is a legend in our village that a long time ago, our village was destroyed once, when a flock of crows flew out of the woods and killed all the victims. The one at the head is the one with a black head and a red body. But they didn't find that there was a boy and a girl hidden in the two families, so that our village had offspring again and had today's situation. β
The elders told me that this was all a legend in their stockade.
Originally, I thought it was just an ordinary legend, but later someone claimed to have seen such a species in the nearby forest, so I warned future generations to be careful.
"Actually, this is not a strange thing at all, the so-called black-headed red-bodied crow is nothing more than a vulture, and it does eat carrion. And that vulture is the mark of Bai Miao. β
The elder waved me at the end of his hand, motioning for me to look at the note in his hand.
I sat down and analyzed it slowly, as if the elders had understood my mission in their hearts, but I myself was completely unaware.
