The people of Lu Village were dumbfounded, they had never encountered such a thing, and they couldn't even think of it! The people in the wilderness did not have any concept of honesty and promise, because they didn't need it at all, they didn't have the intention of deceiving people, and if they said that they would exchange, they would definitely exchange, and they wouldn't even think about who threw things over first.

So Huwa didn't expect that the Huahai Village man would deliberately not throw things, thinking that he had forgotten. At this time, Granny Shui walked out of the village entrance to the edge of the cliff, looked at the hazy mist and said, "He either forgot, or deliberately deceived us." Don't worry, when the patriarch comes back, he will talk to Huahai Village about it. ”

Only then did the clansmen react, standing on the edge of the cliff and scolding at the opposite side. Just now, because the sun happened to shoot out of the clouds, and the mist drifted through the waterfall, they couldn't see what the person on the other side looked like, so it was hard to find it now.

And Huwa stood on the edge of the cliff and was stunned for a long time, it was the first time he had seen what it meant to deceive people, and someone actually used this method to deceive thirty hard-boiled eggs and several feet of water cloth from Lu Village! Of course, he couldn't have heard what Bai Sha once said to Li Qingshui--it is impossible for the primitive tribes in the wilderness to remain simple forever, and they will learn conspiracy and deception sooner or later, and today's incident is just the beginning.

In fact, "deception" can also be seen in hunting, and many wild beasts are very good at camouflage, hiding themselves in complex environments to deceive the eyes and ears of natural enemies. Now that man must think that he is very smart, because he has successfully deceived all the people of Lu Village and obtained so many things for nothing.

But everyone in Lu Village was angry, and even Nanhua felt angry and ashamed, because that person was from her maiden Huahai Village. The people of Lu Village did not think of other possibilities, and only the people of Huahai Village lived in the deep mountains on the other side of the cliff. Patriarch Ruoshan returned to the village when it was almost dark, and he did not go out hunting this time, but took Bo Zhuang, Zhong Zhuang and several other clansmen to the valley where the Qingshui clan lived to have something to do, so he did not bring Pan Gu with him.

The clansmen told the patriarch about this, and the mountain master just nodded with a calm face and said, "I know the way, I will deal with it!"

That night, the tribesmen rested, and the soft moonlight sprinkled down, and the scenery in the mountains was still faintly visible. Pan Gu came to the altar again and was about to sit down and cultivate, but he heard the voice of the mountain master shouting, "You come with me!"

Pan Gu stood up and followed the mountain master with his tail wagging his tail, and found that Granny Shui was also there, and the two of them came out of the village and came to the cliff, and they stood in the narrowest position between the cliffs on both sides, which was also the place where Pan Gu drove the hen over. Granny Shui said: "During the day, I noticed movement in the village, and when I came out, the person was already gone. I remembered the agreement between you and me, I always had to leave someone in the village, so I didn't chase after me. ”

"We don't have to worry about thirty eggs and a few feet of cloth, but this is a dangerous sign that, if left untreated, will lead to confusion and strife among the tribes," Wakayama mused. So I must make it clear to the patriarch of Huahai Village, and people must be in awe. ”

Then he pointed to the cliff on the other side of Qizhang away, bowed his head and said to Pan Gu: "You should be able to jump over, try it now, it is more dangerous to do so, you should usually pay attention to avoid danger." But it's okay at the moment, and I can guarantee that you won't fall!"

Pan Gu is now much smarter than he was more than a year ago, and he can fully understand the meaning of the mountain master's words, and he took a few steps back and kicked the ground with four hooves among the rocks, jumped into the air, and jumped to the other side of the cliff with a swish. Then it stood up and waved a front paw as if beckoning, indicating that it had succeeded. The mountain master smiled slightly, and jumped over the cliff in the air.

The mountain master took Pan Gu to Huahai Village, and Granny Shui returned to the village, while the rest of the clansmen were still asleep. But the tiger baby who sat in the hut knew about it, and he could say that he "saw", or he could say that he perceived it in a fixed state. At that time, he entered the state of dimly seeing everything around him, and he had not yet absorbed his perception and looked inward.

Huwa didn't fall asleep naturally after the exercise tonight, and when he got out of the fixed state, he was thinking again - the mountain master must have gone to find that person, and he wanted to get back the things that Lu Village had been deceived with.

Shan Ye and Pan Gu returned to the village before the rooster crowed at dawn, when the tiger baby was already asleep. When the tiger baby got up, she found that Pan Gu had come back, so she asked it what happened last night, but the dog just shook its ears and looked very proud, anyway, it couldn't speak, of course, it couldn't speak clearly, so the tiger baby went to ask the mountain master again.

The mountain master patted the tiger baby's little shoulder and smiled: "You will know the Tao after a while, we will wait to see what the people of Huahai Village will do." ”

After the sun rose, the tribesmen who were drying hemp seeds and prey fur on the edge of the cliff outside the entrance of the village noticed that there was movement on the opposite side, and there was no fog on this day, so they could see it very clearly. Gu Xin, the patriarch of Huahai Village, led dozens of sturdy men in the village to the cliff, they cut down a giant tree more than ten zhang high in the mountain, and everyone worked together to build it on the cliff and build a bridge that looked dangerous.

But the tribal men who were accustomed to walking the difficult mountain roads all walked steadily on this giant tree. At this time, Ruoshan also led the clansmen to greet them, and welcomed these Huahai Village people to the altar in the village as if they were guests.

Gu Xin said with a face full of shame: "Please forgive the mountain god and ask the people of Lu Village to forgive, someone in our village has done such a humiliating thing, which is a shame for all the people of Huahai Village." There are thirty swan eggs and a wild boar that was just hunted yesterday, which is considered compensation from Huahai Village. ”

Ah Jin on the side asked puzzledly: "Uncle Gu Xin, Huahai Village only owes Lu Village fifteen swan eggs and two pig legs, why do you have to compensate so much for Lu?"

Gu Xin explained very seriously: "I already talked to Shan Ye last night, this is not only compensation but also punishment, and if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. If it is just handed back as it is, then if the person who did the wrong thing succeeds, he cheats someone else's things, and if he does not succeed and has no loss, how can this act be stopped?

This is a very simple truth, and the people understand it. At this time, someone in Huahai Village said dissatisfiedly: "At that time, there was fog floating on the cliff, and no one could see who was on the other side, how could it be sure that it was someone from our village? Even if someone from Huahai Village did it, it was only his own business, and we shouldn't let the whole village pay for it!"

Gu Xin turned his head and scolded: "On the other side of the cliff, only the people from our village, and only the people from Huahai Village know that Lu Dao is exchanging things with the people of Lu Village like this! If it were other tribes, no one would venture to walk alone in the deep mountains for several days, just to deceive the Lu Clan. The purpose of doing this today is to make you remember not to do things that will disgrace you and disgrace the entire tribe! The prey and things that are exchanged are all owned by the whole village, shouldn't the whole village be responsible for what happens?"

At this time, a childish voice suddenly shouted: "Patriarch Gu Xin, I know who did it. ”

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw that the speaker was a tiger baby in the crowd, and there was a flower-tailed dog standing like a human next to the tiger baby. Gu Xin walked over and squatted down and said, "Kid, did you see that person clearly at that time, who is he?"

Huwa replied, "Look—even Pan Gu recognizes it!" As he spoke, Pan Gu raised one of his front paws and pointed at a person in Lu Village, who had just opened his mouth to express his dissatisfaction. Huwa said again: "It's him, the one who fingers the gourd!"

Gu Xin stood up and said with an angry face: "Monkey, you did this thing!"

Huwa did recognize that person, and when she heard his footsteps, she felt a little familiar, which was a keen perception that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, but he was not sure yet, but as soon as this person spoke, it was certain to hear his voice. Not only the tiger baby, Pan Gu also pointed out that person with certainty, among the clansmen brought by Gu Xin today.

The man named Monkey took a few steps back in a bit of a panic and said, "Child, how can you talk nonsense without evidence, can you even believe a dog's fingers? As I said just now, there was fog on the cliff yesterday, and you can't see the other side clearly at all." ”

Shan Ye suddenly said in a deep voice: "When I went to look for the Gu Xin Patriarch last night, I didn't mention that there was fog between the cliffs at that time, and when you came here today, no one else said this, and how did you know the Dao?"

The monkey stammered and couldn't answer, and everyone suddenly realized. Gu Xin scolded: "Only those who have done this will know the situation at that time. Monkey, that's you!"

At this time, Pan Gu suddenly let out a low roar at the monkey, and jumped over with a kick on his hind legs, directly knocking him to the ground. A very sturdy man, there was no room for resistance in front of a small dog. The mountain master drank in time: "Pan Gu, don't move first, let the people of Huahai Village deal with it themselves." ”

Pan Gu didn't open his mouth to bite the monkey, but just threw him down, and when he heard the words, he straightened up and walked back with his tail wagged very proudly. And the monkey's whole body was already weak, and he couldn't get up for a long time. Gu Xin instructed the clansmen: "Set up the monkey, take it back and dispose of it according to the clan rules, and the things that compensate Lu Village today will also be counted on his head!"

After this matter was dealt with, Gu Xin expressed his gratitude to Huwa and Pan Gu again, and finally found out who did it. And the tiger baby admired the mountain master very much in his heart, although he recognized the monkey who did bad things, he couldn't come up with evidence that others could convince. But the mountain master's words directly hit the flaw in the monkey's words, so that the monkey could not deny the facts.

Is this wisdom? Huwa doesn't know what wisdom is, but in his simple cognition, what Shan Ye is showing at the moment is wisdom. He was also vaguely aware of another thing, he had just seen deception yesterday, but as long as it was deception, there would always be flaws, and everything in the world seemed to contain mysteries waiting for people to discover.
