Chapter 38: It's All Too Coincidental
"Okay, I'll leave with Shinoshio." After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yan spoke up, this time the people of the tribe did not keep it anymore, but looked at him with eyes that hated iron and steel.
They would keep it if they did anything else, but this matter was related to the survival of their tribe, and it was impossible for them to let a person who threatened their safety stay, even if they lost Xiao Yan because of this, they would not compromise.
Now she can collude with others to extinguish their fire, and then maybe she will harm everyone in their tribe.
"If you didn't have to keep her, this wouldn't have happened, Xiao Yan, as long as you leave her now, we can still accept you." An old man said indignantly, what a good child Xiao Yan used to be, but now it has become like this, all of this is her fault, as long as she leaves, Xiao Yan will be the same as before.
Xiao Yan didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious, he would leave together.
"Xiao Yan, do you still defend her? She simply doesn't deserve to be so nice to her. Erya said hatefully, "Can't you still see her true face?" Then he said angrily, "She was sent by the wandering savages to harm us." ”
Xiao Yan said coldly, "I believe Xiaoxiao, she didn't do it, if you think she did it, then come up with evidence, otherwise don't frame her casually." ”
"She's my female, so I'll naturally believe her, and if you don't want to accept her, I won't force it, but that doesn't mean I'll watch you slander her innocence."
"I promised to go to other tribes to borrow fire, not because I believe what you said and think that this matter has something to do with Xiaoxiao, but because this is the tribe that gave birth to me, and now that the tribe is in trouble, I naturally won't stand idly by, but that's just it, it's not because I don't believe in Xiaoxiao."
Xiao Yan's tone was calm, he knew what they were thinking, it was nothing more than that he had lost his way and had seen Xiaoxiao's true face.
Shen Xiaoxiao was very angry when he heard Xiao Yan say that he would help the tribe catch fire, thinking that he just didn't believe her, otherwise why would he do it.
But after hearing Xiao Yan say that he promised to borrow fire in order to repay the tribe, and he had always firmly believed in her from beginning to end, the anger in his heart had already dissipated.
"You say that I colluded with outsiders to extinguish the fire of the tribe, what is the evidence? You have presented the evidence, who is the witness? Who saw it, or did anyone hear that I was plotting with the wandering wildlings to kill the tribe? ”
The scene was silent, and the witch doctor sighed and said, "Xiaoxiao, maybe they are overdoing it, but it's all too coincidental, isn't it?" "After she came to the tribe, Xiao Yan was going to leave the tribe, and when she was taken away, the fire of the tribe was extinguished, and she did not gain the trust of the tribe.
Yes, it's all too coincidental, all the coincidences come together, isn't it just to be suspected.
But why, it's because they have preconceived ideas, and they always think that she has different intentions and wants to harm them.
She could have left the tribe, but by no means with such a great grievance.
Even if she left the tribe, she left with dignity and innocence, not that they hated her when they mentioned her in the future, everyone said that it was her, this person was very bad, he deliberately infiltrated our tribe back then, brought the people of the tribe badly, and also united with others to extinguish the fire of our tribe.
She may not have left a good name, but it must not be this kind of reputation that will be stinky for thousands of years.
If she dares to leave like this today, then she will definitely carry this pot until she leaves this world, maybe she will die after she dies and will be whipped by someone, who loves and suffers this kind of grievance, anyway, she will never suffer this kind of grievance.
"But it's just a coincidence, isn't it? I don't want this to happen, besides, if I really unite with outsiders to extinguish the fire of the tribe, then how can I come back, if it's true, I don't dare to come back. ”
The people of the tribe whispered.
"What she said makes sense, if she really did it, how dare she come back."
"But who is not her?"
"Could it be that the wind blew it out?"
"It's impossible, the fire will be extinguished as soon as she comes, how can it have nothing to do with her."
"No matter what you say, the fire of the tribe is extinguished because of you." Erya gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for you, we would be fine now." ”
The others stared at her with burning eyes, as if to say how else you want to quibble.
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little helpless, and said, "Now that the fire has been extinguished, you are angry with me, if the tribe has the fire again, will you put this matter down?" ”
Erya snorted coldly, "The tribe has fire again? You said it easy, do you know how difficult it is for us to get this fire? The others chimed in, "That is, do you think that fire can be just had?" If it weren't for the beast god who gave it to us, we wouldn't have needed fire now. ”
The beast god gives fire? Shen Xiaoxiao felt as if something strange had broken into her brain.
"Your fire was given by the beast god? How did it give you? Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yan and said, she knew that if she asked other people, they would definitely talk a lot there, and she didn't think about getting answers from them.
"The beast god will give us fire with heavenly thunder, but sometimes even if there is heavenly thunder, there is no fire."
Shen Xiaoxiao's expression was strange, this is the fire brought by thunder?
"Surely it was a fire caused by a thunderbolt that struck a dry tree?" Shen Xiaoxiao said uncertainly, she knew that people in this period used fire because thunder and lightning split the dry trees on fire, and then used fire to keep warm, and occasionally ate food that was cooked by the fire before starting to eat cooked food, and later drilled wood to make fire, and was able to make fire independently, and no longer had to rely on the fire left by thunder.
She thought they had learned to drill wood for fire, but this is obviously not the case now, and yes, they are still eating raw meat, and it is normal for them to have not yet invented the idea of drilling wood for fire.
"Well, but the beast gods rarely give us celestial fire, so we all cherish the fire of the tribe." Xiao Yan nodded, the beast gods hadn't given them the heavenly fire for two years, so they cherished the fire left by the tribe, and usually kept the fire in several places for insurance, but they didn't expect it to be extinguished this time.
The witch doctor didn't believe what Shen Xiaoxiao said that they could let their tribe have the fire again, "Xiao Yan, wait for you to borrow the fire, and then talk about the question of your stay." In fact, the witch doctor didn't want this kind of thing to happen, and she also knew that there was no problem with leaving Xiao Yan and others, but the key was that if Shen Xiaoxiao didn't stay, Xiao Yan would also leave, so now she could only drag it out first, and wait until he borrowed the tinder back.
But if she still can't get the tribesmen to accept her, then she will have to let her go.
Although Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know the witch doctor's plans, he could also get a glimpse of it from her expression, "Witch doctor, I can help you get fire, and you don't have to borrow it from other tribes." ”
Let's not talk about whether you can borrow it, even if someone else asks you to start a fire, you don't know how careful you have to be on the way back, the wind is strong or it rains, the fire is extinguished, and the effort spent is in vain.
