Chapter 53: Ten Days and the Plan of Yuan Zhan
Yan Mo's eyes recovered, everyone was very happy, and these magical few days could not be seen, and later recovered, and made him a mysterious feeling belonging to Priest.
At least Meng and The Awu child looked at Yan Mo.
The next day, Yan Mo, who comforted Jiu Feng and the bee colony, had a simple bag on his back and a herbal bag and walked with Yuan Zhan.
The two quickly passed through the safe Jiu Feng mountain area soaked with wetland and headed for the left corner of the salt lake.
Crossing the salt lake, and going further there was a prairie. All kinds of weeds and low shrubs grew up indiscriminately. In the summer, the weeds here are higher than people, and they will be more likely to be ambushed by a beast in the grass.
In winter, the grassland vegetation is not so dense. Many grasses are not dead, but they all fall down. Because these long grasses fall down, some low vegetation on the ground also reveals the true colors.
Yan Mo hasn't recognized the more familiar plants for most of the time, which is related to the fact that the vegetation is already yellow or withered. He suspects that he has seen small daylilies and wild alfalfa, but he is not sure, he can only wait for the spring of next year then he will you know.
Looking up at the sky, the sun didn't come out today, the sky was dark and cold, Yan Mo took a nap, and moved two steps to follow Yuan Zhan, who was walking in front with a wooden stick. "You have to go down the second snow."
"How do you know?"
Yan Mo didn't say that Jiu Feng went out for a walk in the morning and told him, he only smiled.
Yuan Zhan licked his lips. "Let's go back soon and try to come back before the snow falls. Can you understand Jiu Feng and the bee colony when they speak?"
Suddenly, the question did not make Yan Mo, who had already prepared, panic. He looked at the youth strangely and with a natural look: "I am the Priest of The Mountain God Jiu Feng. Can I understand it? Isn't it that I'm supposed to understand it? As to the bees... I think it might be related to what Jiu Feng fed me. I don't know why."
“Why were your eyes suddenly white?"
" Didn't I say it? Punishment." Yan Mo's face revealed and appropriately tired look, and he said: "I will tell you something that I'm allowed to tell you, but there are some things, if I did not take the initiative to tell you, please do not ask me, leaking secrets of the gods for me is a taboo. "
Gods? Yuan Zhan felt that it is getting harder and harder to listen to young slave now. Sometimes he has to guess based on the context of his words and his tone. Because he uses a lot of pronunciations and words that Yuan Zhan has never heard of it.
"Well, if you don't want to say it later, I won't ask more, but if it's related to everyone's life, you'd better tell me in advance."
"Are you ordering me?" The two stood still. Looking at each other....each one has unhappiness and patience look.
The cold wind blew through the earth. In the grasslands where the grasses at least half a person high, the black and yellow ground was exposed. The mud and grass roots were frozen into ice sheet the two were wrapped in the skin of the animal skin, and the toes were frozen and hurt. Even if it was a good place to talk, but neither of them would want to look away first.
Yuan Zhan, who dared to walk barefoot in the big winter, spoke first in the confrontation: "Your character is not like your face, Yao Mo, is every Priest gradually gets irritating?"
Yan Mo was frozen! "I didn't expect you to like me, nor need me. Yuan Zhan, you saved me a life, but I still give you more than enough wide berth."
"So you hate me, why?" Yuan Zhan asked directly, because this is the problem that poked him for too long.
Yan Mo was laughing, this kid is trying to spread his words to him today?
Yeah, some words he has been keeping in his stomach for a long time, he did not spit them!
"You even asked me why I hate you? No, no, I wont even bother to justify it to your face. You are not worthy of making me hate you. I am at most... I don't even see you." With Jiu Feng and The Cannibal Bees as a backing, and Yan Mo arrogance was gradually exposed, and he is becoming less and less like a teenager.
“Why?" Yuan Zhan seems to be ironic trying to ask the answer.
“Why!" Yan Mo smirked. “The slave also has dignity, but how did you treat me? You fucking dare to strong arm me... Is there a man who can bear such a thing?!"
“You are angry about that?" Yuan Zhan was surprised. He still wondered if it was because didn't let the little slave eat enough that the slave hated him so much. He didn't expect it to be the strong arming.
“Why won't I be angry?" Yan Mo laughed. “Or do you want me to try it on you?"
“If you can beat me." Yuan Zhan really doesn't understand why the teenager is so embarrassed about it. In all the land, aren't they all living like this? When the tribe was not formed earlier, The Priest of the tribe encouraged everyone to go out and find a woman from other ethnic groups. The Priest said that other women can be directly robbed, and as long as the warriors gave them a full stomach, they would stay in the tribe. Sometimes women can't be found, and men who seem pleasing eyes will be stunned and brought back directly to the tribe.
After the merger of several tribes into tribes and tribes with slaves, this kind of robbing situation is useless. Even so, they see that the weak tribes they will be robbed, otherwise where can one find so many slaves readily available?
In general, when the tribe lacks a woman, not to mention sex slaves. It is normal for two warriors to mix together. Whether it is with slaves or warriors, they do this while hoping there will be women there will be women in the future.
What kind of hate does this slave for this kind of thing? You're not hungry and I am not hitting you.
Yuan Zhan refused to accept it and said it directly: "I raised you, gave you a full meal, gave you a tent to sleep, and gave you medicine to help you recover. What wrong with me sleeping with you?"
Yan Mo looked at the youth and he looked like a strong man with a blocked heartache. This world view, values, and outlook on life are fundamentally different from the world where Yan Mo is. How can he tell this person that this insult is one of the most unbearable shameful humiliations in his world for ordinary men, even if he is starved to death? Personal dignity is something that cannot be violated.
Yan Mo waved his hand weakly. "In this case, if one day you become a slave, someone from other tribes will buy you or snatch you back. He will give you food and drink, and give you a place to live. Are you willing to let him use you in that way?"
Yuan Zhan, frowned, he seemed completely not thought about this question," If I beat him, he could only accept it. If I feed him, of course he is mine to sleep with, I wish to do so. "
"Then what about when you are injured, or there are other people stronger than you and you have no way to resist."
Yuan Zhan's face was gloomy and sullen: “I will find ways to kill him, escape, and destroy the tribe."
Yan Mo puts his hand on his face and looked like hitting a boulder!
Yuan Zhan's face was ugly. He now finds that this kind of thing is so normal when its done to others, but once it falls on his head, it seems quite unbearable.
Then what about those women, including his mother and his sisters, so accepting of the reality so easily? And his mother had been robbed once by a tribe, she ended up giving birth to two children to a man of that tribe. Later the tribe was attacked and seized by Yuan Tribe, and his mother was robbed back by his father.
But his mother did not escape from that tribe, and did not escape after Yuan Tribe took her back. So she lived with his father and gave birth to him until he was five or six years old because he wanted to give him a younger brother. As a result, his brother was haunted by desperate ghosts and did not wait to be born, the brother killed the mother and himself.
1].... The mother and the child died in labor or during pregnancy
This is true of his mother, and many women and slaves in the tribe are like this.
Why are they not angry and rebellious like this little slave? Why are they accepting reality so easily?
Because they are not strong enough, can they be patient in order to survive?
"Strong, give orders. The weak can only accept." Yuan Zhan seems to figure out what it is. His eyes have spent less than ten seconds from being confused to affirming. "I am not wrong, the tribe does not practice wrong things, only powerful people can kill beasts, defeat enemies, and only powerful people can get everything, and the weak can only be forced to accept."
My lord! Yan Mo thought that he finally convinced the person, but never thought that this person would actually go to the extreme direction.
"Fuck! The weak have no right to resist? Is it a weak person who asked to be hunted and fight? Are you born from woman? Without slaves, you will save so many things? Then what about the day when you become a weak person..."
Yuan Zhan interrupted him, "I will remember all the shame and become stronger again!"
Yan Mo's body was shivering and his teeth trembled: "So what you mean is that if I can't beat you, you still are going to continue to sleep with me?"
Yuan Zhan did not answer, turned directly, and did not go back.
"Hey! You tell me clearly! If you still want me to be your Tribe Priest, I advise you not to have any kind of thoughts for me. Are you not missing a woman? If you see one on the road later you can grab one and have a come back!"
"So I can grab those women, but can't force you? Why? Because you are more useful than those women? Because you can threaten me? Because you are stronger than those women?" The youth turned to mock the teenager "Don't deny it, my Priest Da Ren, you are exactly the same as us."
Yan Mo felt sad again. Although the other party is arrogant, his reasoning makes Yan Mo unable to refute. How does he answer the youth? Say that a woman should be a vassal of a man? Why does that woman make a man's vassal? Is it because the natural fat content is more than the muscle content? Natural physique problems make them doomed to be weak? And the weak can only accept the arrangement and coercion of the strong?
The problematic youth turns back. "If some men are as weak, then why can't they live like a woman? Women can accept such a life, why can't men accept it?"
"A woman can be very powerful..." Yan Mo was weak and he doesn't know he has gone from a loud to quietly whining.
"Yes, women can be very powerful, and the Chief of the The Sun Worshippers Tribe is a woman."
Yan Mo slapped his head, so this is still a strong and weak problem. Whether it is a man or a woman, you have the power to speak only if you are strong. If you want to be bullied and forced by others, and you want the respect and awe of others, then you have to have some skills that can make others fear you. At least, he must be strong in some respects, strong enough for others to need you, not to lose you, or Dare to offend you.
So he was convinced by a primitive person who advocated force.
A prairie fox ran infront the faces of the two, men and ran back to look at them.
Yan Mo looked at the disappearing fox tail and coveted.
Yuan Zhan suddenly became alert.
"I am not weak." Yan Mo ran to catch up with the man and couldn't help but emphasize, "I am just not good at hunting and fighting, but If I want to kill you its very easily. Do you want to try?"
"I will not give yu have a chance. I want to sleep you later, I will tie you up." Yuan Zhan replied, turning his head and looking around.
"..." Yan Mo gave a sigh of relief. Did this guy have such an idea after seeing his own gold needle?
"Don't forget, I have Jiu Feng and The Cannibal Bees." Someone wanted to get back to the field and face.
"I know you can call those The Cannibal Bees." The young man turned his head and did not let him step into the pit in front. "Every time I send you to the tree, those The Cannibal Bees will leave me but won't attack me, I know that The Cannibal Bees are under your command, you didn't want me to see what you were doing in that hive."
"Oh, really smart." Someone smiled and laughed. People don't say thank you.
"The Cannibal Bees are afraid of fire, if you send them to attack me, I will put the torch to burn the hive."
"I let them kill you first!" Someone didn't realize it at this time, their serious discussion has already gradually began to develop into a naive quarrel.
"I will figure out a way to get their thorns out of my flesh." The youth whispered vaguely.
"What are you talking about?" The
youth paused and turned his head. "I say, I was particularly excited when I thought that I would do you under the eyes of The Mountain God Jiu Feng and the group of The Cannibal Bees."
"... you abnormal freaking metamorphosis!"
"What is metamorphosis?" The youth could not guess.
Yan Mo sneered. "It means you are not normal, because your brain is in the testicles, only the cerebellum is on the neck... Hey!"
Yan Mo was suddenly pushed to the ground by the youth, because he was too fast, he I don't even have time to protect myself, and his mouth almost intimately came in contact with the earth.
Yan Mo looked up and was swearing, and the young man turned his fingers to his lips and didn't even make a sound.
Yan Mo was awake, then he felt that the air seemed a bit wrong. The wind brought a stench like a wild animal that he had smelled in the zoo. The wind also made the grass sway. It seems that there are medium-sized animals walking through the grass.
Far away from the grass, Yan Mo felt that he seemed to see something, but he was not sure.
The two quietly crouched in place until the smell and the shuttle completely went away.
Yuan Zhan held a wooden stick and raised one leg. He looks at the six-ways his ear listening to the eight sides. The like a cat he stood up slowly.
Yan Mo tilted his head and asked him with his eyes: Can you get up?
Yuan Zhan stretched his hand.
Yan Mo stood up with his hand. "What is it?"
Yuan Zhan was dignified. "It is a wolf beast, a white-tailed wolf. At least twenty have passed."
Twenty wolves? Yan Mo took a breath of air and asked: "Where did they go?"
"In the direction of the forest, white-tailed wolves generally live on the edge of forests and grasslands. This piece is probably their hunting ground."
Yan Mo regretted it. He should have tried to bring a group of The Cannibal Bees out. "So let's go ahead?"
"Of course. What are you afraid of? But only twenty wolves, there is Jiu Feng, this grassland will not have a large carnivorous ferocious beasts." Yuan Zhan did not know what to use as a reference, he adjusted the direction, and Yan Mo continued to march deep into the grassland.
“Do you know where The Awu tribe lived?" Yan Mo looked at the young man's chest and was curious.
"I don't know. But the place where people live will leave traces. We just need to find traces and follow it."
Yan Mo did not know how to find such traces, he was only Mo Mo with the youth behind.
In fact, he also asked Jiu Feng, know where Awu Tribe was living, Jiu Feng told him only in grasslands, next to a small lake. Asking for a detailed reference, the bird can't say, he just kept saying that they are the nearest Two Legged Monsters.
Afterwards the two did not speak again, they walked through the grasslands one after the other.
This trip once again made Yan Mo realize that without the experienced hunters like Yuan Zhan who were naturally sensitive to the local environment, he might just walk in the grasslands and be given some invisible pits and cracks and die.
They almost stepped into a small swamp on the way.
It may not be appropriate to say that the swamp is correct. The correct statement may be a muddy pond. It is very small. It is only about one foot long and has a surface with floating grass. If you don't look carefully, you can't see that it is a mud pond.
Fortunately, the long stick that Yuan Zhan proposed to use has played a huge role. When Yuan Zhan explored the road, the wooden stick was inserted into the small half.
Yuan Zhan felt that it was wrong and immediately pulled it out.
"There are a lot of similar muddy ponds in the grasslands and woods. When you walk, don't put your whole body weight on your feet. Every step you step on should be careful. When the wooden stick tells you that the land in front is safe, you can step again. Yuan Zhan taught the teenager, not because he is his future Priest, but that every tribal warrior has the responsibility to teach his tribe's minors, including their own slaves, one is to make them survive in a cruel environment and second, in order not to let the other side drag the other people.
After the muddy pond, Yuan Zhan discovered traces of human footprints.
Yan Mo spent a long time looking but he did not find the so-called traces, he had to "not so shamelessly asked": "How do you see The Awu Tribe appear here?"
Yuan Zhan didn't laugh at him. He pointed to a weed in front of the left. "Is there any? The weeds have been cut off a lot."
Yan Mo also saw it when the youth pointed it out.
Yuan Zhan walked over and touched the weeds. "The weeds here are long and tough, and they are suitable for making a straw mat."
Yan Mo blinked and found that there were a few grasses behind the weeds. He looked a bit familiar and just thought. Going over and looking at it, Yuan Zhan has continued to move forward.
Helpless, Yan Mo had to keep up, he didn't dare to stay alone in the wilderness.
After that, Yuan Zhan discovered a lot of signs of human activities, and along the traces, I really touched the vicinity of The Awu residence.
It is a small tribe. Looking at the number and size of tents, this tribal population will not exceed one hundred at most.
Perhaps for the convenience of life, the tribe built the tent on the upper vent of a small lake.
The lake is not big, and the lake is covered with weeds. These weeds are also strong in vitality. Although they are already yellow, they are still standing.
Yan Mo, who had been hiding in the grass with Yuan Zhan and secretly observing The Awu tribe, suddenly stood up in excitement after seeing the lake.
"What?" Yuan Zhan quickly wanted to pull him down, is there anyone else at the lake?
"Flax!"
"What?"
"There are flax around the lake just behind the weeds!" Just now I saw a few scattered ones that I dare not confirm. But such a large piece, he can't admit mistakes. Faced with such a large piece of natural Flax, Yan Mo was excited that his voice changed.
