Original War

283 Goodbye Yang Sui

The surrounding land is getting more and more arid, and the creatures in the mountains and forests are not so active.

After passing through a few high mountains, everyone reached a hilly area.

Standing on the top of a small hill, Shao Xuan saw the distribution of some houses in the distance and large tracts of farmland. However, those farmland does not seem to grow well, because of lack of water, not only the growth is slow, but the death rate is also high.

As for the further distance, I can’t see clearly, as if it is covered with layers of gauze. That’s because there is too much dust in the air, which affects the line of sight. Because of the drought, when the wind blows, some sand and dust will be brought up.

The more you go there, the cracks on the ground increase. Although there are some sparse grasses, the dry and cracked ground occupies most of the field of vision.

“It’s the Rain Tribe over there.” Huaye said to the young warriors who came here for the first time.

When going to the rain tribe, the elders will talk to the young warriors of the tribe about the various tribes. Now when they see the rain tribe, they will naturally tell them about the customs of the rain tribe.

Although Shao Xuan knew Yang Sui of the Yu tribe, his knowledge of this tribe was extremely limited. Therefore, when the middle-aged man explained to the young warriors of their tribe, Shao Xuan was like everyone else. Listen with your ears supported. It’s always good to know more.

“The people of the rain tribe have totems like’rain’ and worship water. Their belief in rain is far beyond your imagination. If the people of their tribe go to other places, drown in the river, or are eaten by the water beasts in the water. In many cases, they will not be sad. On the contrary, they think that those who drown or are eaten by water beasts must have some mysterious power that surpasses others, so that they can send themselves into the gods without the help of external forces. The place……”

Shao Xuan and others: “…” Laying down!

With that said, the crocodiles of the Enemy Tribe are simply God’s spokespersons.

It sounds ridiculous, but it is understandable. Each tribe has their own beliefs and worship. Many things that seem to be extremely brain-dead by others are the unwavering beliefs of others. For this, you can’t change their minds if you pry their minds away.

“It is said that the witches of the rain tribe who couldn’t ask for rain were burned to death?” someone asked.

“Not all. I heard that it was burned to death at the beginning, but then I couldn’t ask for rain, and it was impossible for the tribe to have no witches, so it changed. But in this way, the status of witches in the rain tribe has gradually declined. It’s said that the candidate for the witch of the rain tribe must travel out, hoping to find a solution.”

“Did you find it later?” a young warrior from the Yu tribe couldn’t help asking.

Others looked at the warrior who asked the question like they looked at the silly X, “This is a fake. How could it be possible to ask for rain? The witches of our tribe can’t do it. How can the witches of the rain tribe do it? The people of these small tribes just love to mess around!”

“Yes.” The others nodded. I felt that the people of this small tribe couldn’t do things that my own tribe couldn’t do. What’s more, begging for rain is a lie.

“How can Gods have something to do with’rain’? However, I agree with one thing. Gods must be able to fly, um, they must be.” The Yu tribe said.

“Nonsense! How can a god have wings? He must have eight hands!” Weiba said.

“Fart! God certainly doesn’t look like that!”

When it comes to what a god is, tribal warriors of different beliefs quarreled because of their different opinions.

The people of the Tianshan tribe believed that the god lives on the mountain, but the people of the Mang tribe rejected it, and strongly believed that the god should live in the woods, or bring the bamboo forest.

The people of the Thousand Faces tribe didn’t speak, but their faces full of disagreement told everyone their views.

Shao Xuan thought about the Yanjiao tribe. As people who were brainwashed by witches since childhood, no, they only believed in three things-fire, totem and ancestors. What is God? Is it tinder? Is the totem incarnation? Or a deceased ancestor? Or all three?

Lei and Tuo touched their heads at the same time listening to the comments of the people around them, and began to outline the spirit of the gods in their heads. If there is a god, it should be… with long horns on the head, right? Anyway, it’s definitely not those who have wings to play spiders, let alone rain.

Well, it must have horns on the head, and it’s so powerful! Lei and Tuo nodded while discussing. Think other people are just nonsense.

Seeing that the fight was about to start, the elders who had stared at each other had to calm down and pull away the excited young soldiers.

“Hey? Who is that?” Lei asked, pointing at a group of people passing by not far away.

After hearing this, everyone stopped the quarrel and looked over there.

Over there, there is a team of nine people. The people walking in the front are wearing green wicker and yellow straw woven clothes, with some wood and bone ornaments, and each holding a pottery bowl in his hand. , Hold the bowl with one hand and dip the other hand in the pottery bowl and shake it vigorously to the side. Just take a few steps and shake it. The pottery bowl should be filled with water.

Those people have wooden bells made of nuts similar to walnuts hanging around their waists. Every time they shook their arms vigorously, the wooden bells on their waists would flick and rattle because of the movements of their bodies. The sound of it sounds a lot like the movement of rain on the ground.

“It’s a member of the Yu tribe.” Huang Ye said.

“Is that a sacrifice?” someone asked.

“I don’t know, it may be related to their sacrifice.”

“No matter what, let’s find a place to stop and talk.”

“Yes, yes, the rain tribe will provide a house for the remote practitioners to live in. Let’s just rest there,” said the person who has traveled before.

The team of the Yu tribe didn’t go fast, and when Shao Xuan and his party passed by, they happened to stagger with them.

The human faces of these Yu tribes painted totem patterns with paint, and they couldn’t see their looks, but Shao Xuan still recognized Yang Sui who was walking in the forefront.

Yang Sui is slightly different from the other eight people behind him. The clothes are a little more complicated. What he holds in his hand is not a simple pottery bowl. It is slightly taller. There are also some strips and dots painted on the outside of the pottery bowl, such as Flowing water and rainwater are average.

Yang Sui also saw Shao Xuan. He was stunned. He wanted to say something, but realized that it was not a good time to say hello to the old days. When he saw the people around Shao Xuan, he quickly moved his eyes towards the tribe. Moved.

This is for Shao Xuan to go over there first, and he is looking for Shao Xuan to talk about his old days when he is done.

The Yu tribe built a row of wooden houses on the edge of the tribe for the remote practitioners to live in, as long as they paid a certain “accommodation fee”.

The expenses are self-care. Others will not pay for people who are not from their own tribe. Fortunately, Shao Xuan also carries a lot of “money”. They gave some shellfish to the Yu tribe people who were guarding there, and exchanged them for a wooden house for three people.

The wooden house is very simple, but in a place where such a big tree is hard to see, it can only be improvised.

Exchanged some dry food with people from the Yu tribe, a kind of hard bread, Shao Xuan and the three people were quite unaccustomed to gnawing, especially Tuo and Lei, they hunted wild beasts and fierce beasts to fill their stomachs for the first time. Encounter such a place, eat such food.

“I think it’s great in our tribe.” Lei said.

Tuo felt the same way. Biting on the hard and unpalatable noodles, he asked Xiang Shao Xuan, “How long do we have to stay here? Later, will we encounter a place worse than this?”

“How long it takes to stay depends on the elders. As for the future…you should be mentally prepared.” Shao Xuan gave them a “you understand” look.

The look of expectation on Lei and Tuo’s face suddenly collapsed, worse than this… They would rather go to the Fierce Beast Mountain and stay alone for ten days and a hundred days, rather than in such a place where even a wild beast is hard to see. .

No wonder they said before that the journey will be more difficult.

After a short rest, a young girl who brought in water smiled at Shao Xuan and stuffed Shao Xuan a leaf.

After the girl left, Lei and Tuo winked their eyes and joked, “Axuan, is it the custom of the rain tribe to send leaves?”

“Is there anything written on the leaves? Let me see!”

Shao Xuan avoided the two of them, glanced quickly at the words on the leaves, and then grind the leaves.

Lei and Tuo looked disappointed.

“I’ll go out. If there is something urgent on the team, blow the whistle.” After a pause, Shao Xuan said again: “Guard against the people of Tianshan.”

“You know, you go, Elder.” Tuo waved.

Before leaving the wooden house, Shao Xuan saw people looking through the window of another room around him. On the other side, people from the Tianshan tribe lived. Someone was holding a bow in the window, and the arrow was facing Shao Xuan, but did not shoot. Just maintain the aligned posture.

Seeing Shao Xuan look over, the man smiled, and that smile made people look very uncomfortable.

The people of the Tianshan tribe are hostile to the three Shao Xuan, is it because of the Dishan tribe? Or is it because of something else?

No matter what, this kind of hostility kept Shao Xuan on guard against them.

Without paying attention to the people over there, Shao Xuan knew that they still dare not act blatantly. After leaving the wooden house, Shao Xuan walked in one direction. There was a small hill over there. There were some wooden houses on the hill, which did not belong to the scope of the Yu tribe, and Shao Xuan would not be stopped.

These wooden houses are much more dilapidated than the place where they temporarily rested. Shao Xuan walked over after looking at the straw rope hanging on one of the wooden houses.

The door was half closed, and Shao Xuan saw the people in the room, one was the young girl who gave him water and leaves, and the other sitting on the ground was Yang Sui.

At this moment, Yang Sui was holding a cow’s tail and staring affectionately.

Shao Xuan met the young girl once before sending water. She followed Yang Sui, but her dress and the patterns on her face were hard to recognize.

When Shao Xuan came, the girl was talking in a low voice, and stopped when she heard the movement. The two raised their heads to look at Shao Xuan.

“Here?” Yang Sui looked unwell, and after washing the patterns on his face, his eyes were blue and black.

“You don’t seem to be mixed up well. You failed in the fight for the witch?” Shao Xuan asked.

“No, I am a witch now, but I am about to fail.” Yang Sui sighed.
