Chapter 22 The 22nd round of Flying High Tree Top Forest and Deep Water Show revived

Shuangzhu looked back and found that the old man lived in a tree, six or seven feet above the ground.There is a wooden house in the middle of the trunk, which is made of branches on all sides, and planks are added up and down.Although I don't know the origin of his intentions, he is not guarding himself, and he is alone, there is no other of his kind, so he must have no malice.Because Naifu has been practicing medicine for a long time, he knows all kinds of mountain customs and habits, so he simply ignores him.While arranging clothes and shoes, moving hands and feet, while checking hidden weapons and clothes in the baggage, they were all there, and nothing was lost.He was secretly rejoicing that the old man had come down, holding some food and a water ladle in his hands, and approached him, asking for a double-bead diet.

When Shuangzhu saw the old man, he was about seventy at least, and he was so fierce against the enemy just now, but now when he saw the man, his expression was extremely kind. The husband liked it, so he took the water ladle, took it out of the bag and put it in the cloth, washed it a little, drank a few sips, and asked again: "Old man, where is this place? How far is it from Phoebe Forest? There are two old men Grandma, surnamed Mu, is very capable, have you seen it?" The old man seemed to have learned Chinese before, because he lived in the woods for a long time, he probably forgot it, and he loved Shuangzhu very much, fearing that she would not understand what he said, he was suspicious, so he even said that he couldn't explain it when he encountered a forgotten place. , I stopped for a while, thought for a while, and said again when I remembered it, and sometimes added a few words of local language, just like this, I was still afraid that Shuangzhu would not understand, and my hands kept comparing.Shuangzhu saw that this old savage was honest and straightforward, and had absolutely no malice. Although he didn't seem to be in danger anymore, he heard the old man's voice, although he didn't expressly say that he was not allowed to go back, but he said that the local forest is deep and the road is dangerous, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to pass through. If you don't go out, the old man himself and his people never leave the mountain.The forest is full of dangers, the old man is happy with the two pearls, and he can't watch her go into danger, which means that if he wants to leave at this time, he will definitely not be able to do so.When I asked him about Phoebe Forest several times, he kept shaking his head, as if he had never been there before, and he didn't even know the direction.

After repeated inquiring, and telling his purpose of coming, the road he was looking for, and the experience of encountering the earthquake, the old man began to express his surprise.Because the Chinese they speak is limited, they can only understand each other, but cannot talk freely. It took a lot of scheming to find out that I seemed to be in the wrong direction, and I was exhausted from many adventures and fatigue.Although the old man has never been to the nanmu forest, and he doesn't know the name of the place, but according to the figure drawn by Shuangzhu on the ground with the branches, he must have gone wrong, otherwise he should have arrived before he was in danger at dusk the next day.It was clear that the forest was dark, and when I met the horse bear, I didn't check the shadow of the sun first, and I didn't know how to read the stars, so I walked farther and farther, and passed by the slanting spur.

Later, he asked that the old man lived far away from the place where the earthquake occurred. He also knew about the earthquake the day before yesterday, and he took people to investigate for it.It was discovered that a large area of ​​forest land has sunk, and mausoleums and valleys have changed, which are quite different from before.The volcano has collapsed and has become a lake.Because he accidentally picked up three cured legs on the way home, he ate one first, and then went to the nearby forest to pick fruit and light a fire for barbecue.I was about to bake and eat before heading home, but I accidentally found two ferocious beasts, and I wanted to hunt them. Unexpectedly, there were many of them, and I was trapped. After a lot of hard work, I managed to catch a few small ones.As I was walking back, I remembered that the meat had been scorched since I had been away for a long time, so I regretted it, it was rare to eat such a good thing, and I still felt reluctant to part with it.I rushed to the cliff cave where the meat was first roasted, and saw that the cured legs were gone, but there were many dead bones scattered on the ground. The skulls had been taken away, so it was known to be the work of cannibals.Recalling that there were two tribesmen who came here to pick fruit before, but they disappeared and never returned. After several searches, they didn't even find a single bone. killed.If it is done by wild animals, there must be some traces left, such as hair, leather skirts and feathers, etc., and there should be no traces.I wanted to mobilize the tribe to search, because although the diameter of this area is only thirty miles apart, if you pass through the forest below, there are many dangers and obstacles, and many places have to be bypassed. Go for a walk.If there are natives lurking in the local area, murder together and retaliate against each other, only one side will die, and there will be no end.When you come up, you must find out the strength of the opponent and how many people there are before you can start.

Although the old man is a retired chief, he is the most prestigious in his clan and also the most alert and prudent.It is strongly advocated to be cautious, and to find out.In the end, two warriors were selected, and they searched that forest carefully, but there were many beasts, poisonous insects, and no trace of native people.Several times I deliberately lured the enemy alone, trying to lure the natives to appear, but nothing happened.But the people who went there were careless, and they didn't expect to walk a mile or two to the side to find the valley where the natives lived. As usual, the natives would not go to this forest.Before leaving the forest, there is another big gully, which is difficult to cross. If you are negligent, just ignore it.From the local area to the Feiquanya area, there are several other roads. Wild people often go there, and mountain people have been found to come and go.The old man has a rule, except that it is forbidden for anyone to enter the country, and when meeting outside, he will never provoke others for no reason.There are many people on the other side, so they never face each other.If it wasn't for an earthquake and landslide that day, the situation changed drastically. When returning home, the old man felt that there were too many obstacles along the way, and he didn't want to go the same way again, and he wouldn't go there.When he found the missing wax legs and blood on the ground, and smelled the bloody smell left by the unearthed people, he remembered the past and was about to follow up, so he checked to see if there were any natives hiding in the area, when he suddenly met a mountain man.Seeing that the old man went all the way with a dozen or so fellow clansmen, he was still worried, and hid himself aside, not daring to go forward to meet each other rashly.

It happened that a savage who went with him was injured near the volcano when he went. He was so brave that he didn't want to go back with another person. He walked to the side of the stream without crossing the bridge. He wanted to drink water from the stream, but he was seriously injured. Fat, unbearable pain.At this time, the moon was in the middle of the morning, and the old man had already seen the way of the natives, and picked up a few pieces of scorched flesh that had been peeled off with a knife. The footprints left, and the number of people are still known, there are only forty or fifty, and there seems to be a Han woman in it. The footprints are only six or seven inches long, and there is no toe mark.Feeling strange, determined to find out the truth.At the same time, it was discovered that the forest on the side of the mountain pass was where the missing person came from.Although this kind of savage grows in the forest, they are strong, powerful, brutal and fierce, but they love groups and rarely fight among their own kind.If one person is injured by a foreign enemy, it will be regarded as a life-and-death enmity, and no revenge will continue.Although the attack is extremely cruel, it is the most reasonable. If no one offends him, he will never be offended.People from other races strayed into his territory, but they did not violate his taboos, and treated them with courtesy.As soon as the traces of the natives were found, it was known that two of the same clan had died before, most of the natives had killed them brutally, they were immediately enraged, and while they were chasing to report back, they rushed forward together under the leadership of the old man, leaving the man behind.

The man waited until he was seriously injured and couldn't walk, so he managed to climb up the single-plank bridge and took him away. When he got to the other side, he was exhausted.Just as I was about to call for help, I suddenly saw a mountain dweller rushing up from behind and warned him: "The cave ahead is the cannibal man's cave. I just came from there, and a woman from the Han family was deceived by them and trapped there. If there are people It will be beneficial to save her from danger and get rid of these natives." He took out a small knife, picked out the poisonous stinger, and applied the wound medicine.In the blink of an eye, the pain stopped suddenly.This kind of savage is the most grateful, so he asked the mountain man what reward he wanted.The mountain man replied: "I don't want any reward, but I just ask you to help me rescue the Han woman. We will reward you in the future." The man said, "I can't run fast, so you can take the human bone letter on your chest." Take it, catch up with the old man in front, ask him, and please send someone to help me go back. He can agree to anything I want." The mountain man and the savage also couldn't understand all the words, and they all relied on their hands to show their understanding. As said, catch up with the old man and tell the past.

The old man saw that the mountain was dangerous in the future, and although there were only forty or fifty natives, he didn't know how many people were in the valley.Divide into two people to find out the truth, and lead someone to hide outside. Just when they stopped, they were found by the mountain people.Hearing that there are only seventy or eighty people in the whole body, my heart is half relieved, and I know that the other party is very stupid, there are more women than men, and the female chieftain has the most authority.Looking up at the moonlight, it was already slanting to the west, and it was expected that reinforcements would arrive around dawn, so they simply launched a massive attack and removed them unexpectedly.Feeling the virtue of helping the mountain people, he ordered Qi Qi to accompany him.

The mountain people only knew that the natives cannibalize people, and he tricked Shuangzhu into lying on the rock, fearing that they would be alerted and die for nothing, and they wanted to wait until midnight to rescue them.Because of hunger and thirst, I went out to look for food. Unexpectedly, as soon as I crossed the stream, I saw savages looking for them. An old man lay down on the ground from time to time to sniff and check. , lead people away.As soon as they heard that the large group of people were going to arrive at dawn, they started to attack. Although they felt that the two pearls were lying on the stone well, not like the expression of being killed that night, they did not let go, so they said to the old man, "I will go to find out the truth for the second time." At first glance, the person was gone, it was quiet, and there was no trace of murder.But this group of natives seemed to stay awake all night.There are still twenty or thirty people in the square below, some are adding fire, some are fighting for raw meat, and two goats are killed beside them, and on the mountainside, there is even the sound of drums and music and the sound of female chieftains' lewd and joyful screams. From time to time, some men sneak into the hut with food and drink, and the fire is more powerful, and the local light is red and bright. If you go forward, you must be found.I thought to myself: "Shuangzhu's skill is very high, although it is possible to escape, depending on what the natives want, they will never let her escape that night; besides, they will not recognize the way, if they really escape, the natives will be suspicious even if they didn't have any malicious intentions at first, and they won't. It's so quiet, and none of the female barbarians holding weapons and looking like they're on the defensive didn't move away." The more I thought about it, the weirder it became, the rattan board with the double beads was already placed in front of the fire, blocked by the big stone in the middle.The mountain people didn't see it, and waited in the shadows for a while, but when there was no movement, they had to turn back.The two savages who first explored the truth have returned first.The old man was angry, so he sent another person to urge the reinforcements, and sent the wounded man back. He had been gone for more than half an hour.

The mountain people didn't know the advantages and disadvantages, but after listening to the old man's comparison, they realized that the double beads were used as sacrifices by the natives, and they would be burned to death at dawn.At that time, he was filled with grief, indignation, and anger, and urged the old man to rescue him.The old man said with a smile: "My men are not all here yet. Although these natives can win but cannot be defeated, they are extremely vicious. There are so many of them. How can you sacrifice a few lives for nothing in order to save a woman from the Han family!" Asked the mountain people: "Han women are not of the same race, why are they in such a hurry?" The mountain people thought that the savage was interested in profit, so they said: "This woman is very good at martial arts, and she is especially good at medicine. She can bring the dead back to life. If she can be rescued, the benefits and benefits are said It’s not over.” The old man still didn’t want to hurt his fellow warriors, he refused to fight.While arguing, the mountain people looked up at the sky, not far from the Ming Dynasty, jumped their feet sharply, said a few words, then drew out their knives, and galloped into the valley, ready to fight for their lives.When he left, he said: "Shuangzhu is a good man, he saved my life. I must repay my kindness, and I am willing to die."

Just after running not far away, the old man suddenly led the crowd to catch up and said, "My reinforcements will arrive soon, and they will come from the forest at the bottom of the valley. They will attack from both sides, but the number of natives is still uncertain. For the earthquake the day before yesterday, we The people from the village came out in several ways, and there were not many people left behind, so they were reported. Only a dozen or so people were at home, and the rest were old and weak, and did not come with them. First, both of them speak the language of the native people. It has been found out that we died before My brother was killed by the chief native, and I couldn't spare him. Although I am old, my energy is not weakened, and I can walk on the top of the branches. There are many natives, and I may not finish killing him for the time being. If you fight hard, It's not worth it. I have sent an order to send a message to the front, telling the newcomers to ambush in the forest, and we will hide in it. When they are about to salute, we will kill the chief female chief first by surprise. I snatched the Girls of the Han family, go to the forest and kill the generals. Fortunately, the distance is only half a mile, so you must not love to fight, and kill one by one. When they chase into the forest, the ambush stands up, and two attacks. They don't know how many people I have, so I will They will flee back in panic. Wait until the other two roads are believed to arrive, and then surround them on all sides as I said, and eliminate them all. It is the best policy to succeed in one fell swoop and avoid future troubles forever. Don't be rash!" The mountain people hid in the dark valley with all the savages, and said as they walked that the valley path ahead was gloomy and dark, and they didn't know that the sky was about to brighten.Just arrived at the wide side of the square, and was about to disperse the people, suddenly found that amidst the natives' drumming and dancing, there were four people among them, holding a rattan board with two sides closed, walking slowly around the fire, singing strangely, the female The chief followed with a dozen men.The old man was well-informed and knew at a glance that the sacrificial ceremony was about to be held, so he hurriedly told the mountain people, "There is the woman of the Han family in the rattan clip. You follow them, and I will save people. When you are done, go back to the forest quickly, and come to me. It's not too late to talk there!" The mountain people also noticed something, and they were shocked when they heard the words, and immediately jumped up desperately.The old man knew very well that the natives were powerful, and fearing that they would be injured, he roared angrily, and raised his hand with a stone shuttle from the nearby cliff, beating the head of the female chief so that her brains burst, and she also flew down.Relying on their natural strength and sudden surprise, the other few are famous brave men among the savages.The mountain people were desperate and desperate, and they had a special Lianzhu poisonous crossbow and a very fast Burmese knife by their side. They happened to arrive at the same time, and as soon as they met each other, they smashed three of them.Seeing that there were too many enemies, the old man was alarmed, fearing that it would be too late to let them go, he gave the order to retreat quickly, grabbed the rattan clip with double beads on his back, and fled towards the forest at the bottom of the valley. This kind of natives are very ferocious, and they are on equal footing with the savages, and it is hard to distinguish whether they are superior or not. If they don't come up and beat the female chief to death first, they will be outnumbered and suffer a disadvantage.Thanks to the wit and wit of the old man, the arrangement was good, the mountain people were in a hurry, and they used swords and crossbows simultaneously, killing and injuring several of them in a row.Just like that, if it wasn't for a coincidence that Shuangzhu took out the poisonous crossbow and killed a few through the vine gap, the matter would not have been so easy.The most important thing is that although this kind of natives value women over men, for the sake of having more women than men, all men who are a little bit stronger have become darlings. The mountain people and the other barbarians don't know his customs, and those men are relatively useless. They were all under the majesty of the female chief, and most of them became her lover. They were posing with the gods that day, and without holding a weapon, they ate the crowd and shot indiscriminately. , the natives were panicked and flustered, and later saw that the enemy was far fewer than them, and the one who killed was a man. Misfortune, rage like mad, chasing after him.I don't know that God's misfortune is not as good as human anger, and the future is still unknown. First, I was full of evil and was killed by people. Once the most vicious ones died, the hearts of the people became more confused. It can be seen that although there are not many enemies, the weapons are powerful, not at that time. To die is to roll all over the floor in pain, Fang Shi is a little timid.The mountain people and all the savages have escaped the siege according to what the old man said, and no one was injured, they fled into the forest.When the natives saw this, they thought they were less afraid of him, so they chased him down again.In the dark place in the forest, if the soldiers ambushes together, they must be defeated. Shuangzhu was extremely clever, and after talking for a long time, not only the blunt Chinese spoken by the old man, but also the unique dialect, because of the mutual gestures, he understood most of it, but they didn't go into details, they only asked for a general idea.I suspect that the mountain people must be found by Ah Cheng. If it is him, he should not go wrong. Now that he has walked all the way, it can be seen that the direction of the nanmu forest has not been wrong. Why does the old man say that the nanmu forest is nearby? This place is only thirty or forty miles in diameter from the trapped valley, and the distance between the natives must be even closer. Like this wild beast, the inhuman natives, the master and apprentice of Nanmulin Yiren, have great skills, and they will never allow them to kill people like this , There are a lot of things the other party doesn't understand, only that his name is A Pang, and he doesn't know how many people he has, and whether he is the same as the wild man Lie Fan.If you want to inquire, you also know that most of the savages in the forest form their own tribes, they often commit murder, have deep hatred, and have many unreasonable taboos.It's rare that this is a leader, so it's better to be patient for now, wait until the mountain people and all the savages come back, see if he is a Cheng, and discuss with him before making a fuss. The old man Shuangzhu Ancha was very attentive to her, and said that she had lived in Seoul for three years in the past, and visited many times, and accepted all the gifts she gave him. She was very happy and did not see any malice.Can't remember how to go.The other party didn't even know the name of the place. He called himself A Pang, and he was an old chief. He definitely couldn't be Lie Fandu.His hands and feet were tied up again, and his whole body was sore. In this kind of area full of savages, it is dangerous to walk alone. It is better to explain to him and ask him to lead the way. It will be safer, but it is not possible at that time, so we have to wait patiently, old man Ask her: "Do you want to sleep peacefully in a tree?" Shuangzhu naturally refuses.The old man did not force himself, took two animal skins, spread them on the stone, and said: "This is the safest place, you may wish to walk around freely, and you must not go into the forest. I have not slept for two nights, and I want to sleep some time. We each Rest in peace, wait for someone to come and talk about it." Shuangzhu understood and thanked repeatedly.The old man went up the tree alone.After waiting for a while, he didn't come down. Hearing the sound of snoring, he realized that the old man was not malicious, so he decided to wait for someone to come back.Last night I slept too much, I had something on my mind, and it was daytime again, I couldn't sleep, I lay down on the rock and waited for a while, from time to time I could hear someone stepping on the grass in the forest behind me, and there seemed to be no one there, because I felt that although the old man was a savage, He is quite kind and honest, so he ignored it for a while, and passed by a few times, and suddenly saw that they were some small wild girls, and immediately avoided them when he saw people looking back.Sitting alone was boring, and wanted to take the opportunity to inquire. It happened that there were more than a dozen beads in the gift just now, so I took them out and turned around to tease. There are four girls in the forest, and the oldest is only about ten years old. They are all naked with a piece of animal skin around their waists.Because it grows in the forest, it rarely sees light and is young. Although the skin is slightly green from the middle, it looks like the whole body is round, the muscles are tough, and each of them is very strong.His eyes were black and bright, and his body was extremely clean.When I first saw a stranger greet me, I was still a bit surprised and shy. Later, I saw Shuangzhu smiling, gentle and amiable, and kept raising her hands to say hello. One of them was about six or seven years old. The most beautiful little girl came over tentatively first.Shuangzhu took the girl's hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she fell in love with it, so she gave her one of the beads.The girl's name is Yaya, at first she was suspicious and wanted to break free, but later she saw that Shuangzhu loved her, so she gave her another bead, she fell in love with her, leaned against Shuangzhu's arms, and let her hug her.A few more came, and they seemed to know that the other party was not malicious, and they all wanted the material, so they came over one after another.Each of the two beads was given one, and they took colored thread to thread the beads and put them around the girls' necks.The girls became more and more happy, and one of them started chatting and laughing, and gathered around Shuangzhu, with seven or eight mouths chattering endlessly, their voices were clear and clear, like the tender chirping of a good bird, very pleasant to the ear, but they couldn't understand a word. Shuangzhu used to assist her father in practicing medicine. Although she usually likes to be clean, she has great sympathy for old and young patients, no matter how poor and filthy they are. Kindness.And these girls are so innocent and beautiful, even though they don't know the origin of the double beads, after a while, they all feel that the other party is so cute, and no one wants to leave.Shuangzhu was more patient, since nothing happened, she tried to ask and compare, and persuaded the other party to say one by one, so as not to speak at the same time, like sparrows that exploded their nests, chirping, I couldn't hear a word, let alone understand it.Like this, about half an hour passed, the old man on the tree kept snoring, although all the girls rushed to flatter and talk, but their voices were low, their movements were more alert and brisk, like apes and birds, if there was any movement in the forest, he would still If you don't hear it, you have already covered it up first, and it moves like flying. Shuangzhu saw that the oldest of the girls in this group was only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only six or seven years old. Each of them carried small bows and arrows, stone spears, shuttle knives, etc. on their waists, shoulders and arms, and thought: Look at these few girls. This girl is very smart and good-looking, which point is inferior to the Han people?He was born in this kind of prehistoric deep mountain forest, surrounded by only a piece of animal skin, not even a piece of clothing, but with these weapons, not to mention the big ones, the young ones are only six or seven years old, could it be that Can you fight fiercely with wild beasts and poisonous snakes?At first I suspected that the savages were martial arts, and they used weapons as toys since they were young. After a closer inspection, the weapons carried by these children were much smaller than those used by adults, but they were all very sharp, especially the stone shuttle was polished by a solid stone. Cheng, very sharp and heavy in two, ordinary adults may not be able to throw it at will.These girls, except for the two youngest, almost everyone has one or two guns, and then two boys, about eight or nine years old, carry more weapons, their shoulders are almost full, and they clearly know what to fight against. , and there was no movement or sound in the forest, except for the young girl Yaya who was hugged by him and was persuaded by all the girls to stop her from following. , Just like the enemy is approaching, prepare to defend.I was quite puzzled at first, but after a long time, after careful examination, I actually knew a lot of languages, and then I asked a general idea. It turns out that although these savages have grown up in the forest since they came, there are often earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the area, especially the wild burning in the forest is more severe, and there are many poisonous snakes and beasts, so they came up with many defenses after being taught by adults since they were young. Avoidance method.What they are most afraid of are earthquakes and fires. The Mantou Mountain earthquake was far away from the local area recently, and the magnitude of the earthquake was not violent. The ground collapsed for dozens of miles and burned a large forest.Although the local area was not affected by the disaster, when the earthquake first started, it was still affected and shocked.The old man Achong is the brains of the whole clan, he has the most experience, and his mind is very dexterous. As usual, he would not be negligent when encountering such an extraordinary change. Before the earthquake stopped, he braved the strong wind and rain to take the lead and brought a few strong men Stop snooping, and order people to call the police.After the earthquake stopped, it was known that there must be many beast casualties in this catastrophe. I think it is still second, the most important thing is that after this huge earthquake, the mountains and forests sank, and the terrain changed greatly. A large group of wild beasts fled in panic, and the original place could not be preserved, and they must come here to invade.If the volcano is not extinguished, it is even more necessary to see the situation clearly and lead the tribe to find another safe place.If these things are not planned in advance, once the alien enemies and a large group of fierce beasts and poisonous insects suddenly cover up, they will suffer.From the second day on, he and the chief gave an order to set off in all groups except the old and the weak.Because of the vastness of the forest, we searched in several ways.Naturally, it is necessary to guard against the fundamentally important place where they live, so these men, women, children, old and weak women were allocated to ambush within a radius of ten miles.Although the people left behind are children under the age of twelve or thirteen and old women, these wild people grow in the forest and fight with poisonous snakes and beasts and various disasters all day long. When I was young, I often traveled to Seoul and learned a lot of tool-making techniques. The Burmese knives I used were extremely sharp. I practiced hard work every day, and I couldn’t get food because of this. Everyone was courageous and resourceful, and they were much more ferocious than other barbarians. , It seems that some women and children are more powerful than ordinary adults.After the old man's daily training, his ambush consists of several layers from the outside to the inside, each of them is guarded by the cover of the big trees in the terrain, scattered in all directions, they can respond to the enemy alone and echo each other, even the few tiny ones go up in the same way. When Shuangzhu came, the old man A Pang was too tired for days, and he knew that the matter was over, the chief had already led people to rush there, and the reinforcements from the other routes were believed to be arriving soon.There are less than a hundred natives in total, and the female chieftain died again, and they were all eliminated in a blink of an eye. It is nothing to worry about.Because I thought the forest was too far to walk around, on a whim, I carried the double beads on my back, and flew back from the branches, and then fell through the forbidden area in the center of my residence.It is absolutely difficult for outsiders to enter this open space, but if people are inside, they have the permission of the old man, unless the other party has evil intentions, or hides in the forest and escapes privately, no one is allowed to hurt - the old man does not let Shuangzhu privately Entering the forest is because of this.Because the top of the tree curtain leads directly to the forbidden area in the center, the nearest ambush is half a mile away, so of course I don't know.These few boys, girls and children ambushed recently, they didn't know that the old man had returned, and then they were alarmed by the snoring, thinking that the old man was not the only one who came back, maybe there were adults who went with them.Came to spy, and found a very good-looking stranger sitting under the tree, a moment of curiosity, attracted all the young children who were lying in ambush in the surrounding area.At first I was still a little suspicious, but then I thought that the old man often said that visitors can only come under his tree, and if they don't behave rudely, they are good guests with his consent.Seeing that Shuangzhu is so kind again, she gradually approaches and becomes intimate. Later, the two boys, seeing Shuang Zhu holding the weapon beside his companion, talking with each other, kept asking, they realized that the other party wanted him to practice, so they ignored the elder girl's advice, first drew the crossbow arrows around their waists, and pointed out the distance of three zhang. The branch, thrown casually, hit it immediately and broke off.After trying a few arrows, he took out the stone shuttle again, raised his hand, and a broken tree stump several feet away was smashed into a hole, the technique was accurate and fast, it looked amazing.Shuangzhu praised again, which attracted those young children to try their best, and the two older ones followed suit.Seeing that Shuangzhu had a sword and crossbow barrel beside her, she was asked to take it out for practice. Shuangzhu feared that there might be a misunderstanding, and saw the two young children slashing at each other with knives, it was impossible to tell if it was real, so they kept shouting and making hand gestures, before stopping.What if this group of villains are wild and unruly, and they have to compare themselves with themselves, their language is not clear, and they are accidentally injured, what should they do?Relying on the dexterity of the other party, he was able to understand and understand a lot of words at this time, so he pointed to the tree and told the old man not to do this, and he had to wait for the old man to wake up and ask for clarification before speaking. Just now, a young child misunderstood the gesture, thought that Shuangzhu wanted to drink water, first scratched his head, showing embarrassment, then suddenly showed joy, and rushed to the other side of the pond.After a while, I took a lot of wild fruits and a big wooden ladle of spring water, and rushed over.Knowing that he misunderstood, Shuangzhu already got it, unwilling to betray his kindness, she randomly picked two longan-shaped wild fruits and peeled them to eat. They felt that they were plump and fragrant, and as sweet as honey, so they thanked the young boy and smiled. Said a few words.At this time, the rest of the boys, girls and children thought that the double beads were complimenting the boy, so they should follow suit and go to get them separately. Shuangzhu didn't know if these young children could be their masters, she was trying her best to dissuade them, one by one affectionate and perfunctory, expressing that they all love them, everyone is the same, there is no difference between them, suddenly the group of children looked back together.Looking carefully at the other side of the pond, it turns out that there are several wooden houses of the same size as that of the old man A Pang on a circle of tall trees surrounding the open space. It's far away, unlike the old man's house, which is more obvious. Before I saw it, Fang thought: the people in the tree house must have left him, and suddenly heard the group of children shouting and laughing.Looking forward, a person came down from the tree on the opposite bank. From a distance, she looked like a mountain woman, walking slowly; she thought to herself: "How strong is this kind of savage, this woman doesn't look old, how can she not walk, like Do you look sick?" Yaya broke free from her embrace, murmured with the other two barbarians, and rushed away, holding the hand of the visitor, pointing to her side, talking and laughing, very happy. After a while, she got closer and closer, and she was a mountain woman who was not yet thirty. She was very beautiful in appearance and figure. It is clean, and there are many strings of gold beads and emerald jade hanging on the chest. It is not as rough as the usual barbarian girls, but more beautiful.Fang thought: "There are such characters in the wild forest, and these boys, girls, and children are also handsome. If they put on some clothes, they will look better. Could it be that the water here is good, and even the savages are so delicate?" The mountain woman is almost approaching.Looking at the attire, you can tell that she is not the wife of the chief, but also a distinguished figure in his race. Seeing the other party coming up, she seems to be surprised, and then she is greeted by boys, girls and children and surrounds her. , first showed the intention of intimacy, did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly got up to greet each other, came up and talked with comparisons, it was assumed that the other party would not understand, at least he knew a general idea, but who knew that the mountain woman was not only very smart, those young children never With a little interjection, you can understand Chinese. Later, Shuangzhu tried to inquire in the native language she usually learns, and she was able to answer in one of the mountain people's languages. She actually found out that the mountain woman's name was Shan Lan, and she was not from the same family as the local savages, but the daughter of the mountain people.Because she and her parents went into the forest to pick wasteland, they met a group of ferocious beasts, and dozens of people with them were killed or injured. Only she and an injured old mother were rescued by a savage and courted him.At that time, Shan Lan was sixteen years old. She had a lover, but she was killed by a ferocious beast while harvesting wasteland. One was homeless, and thanked the other for saving her life, so she married him and gave birth to three daughters. The relationship between husband and wife was very strong. Well, unexpectedly the year before last my husband elected chief. The local people are monogamous, and only the chief can take concubines. In the past, a woman had to sleep with the chief for three nights before marrying her husband. She was often forced to be a concubine by the chief's lust for beauty, and she was not allowed to follow her husband. , causing murder.Until 40 years ago, the old man A Pang became the chief. He felt that there were only about 20 ancestors at the time. Because they were bullied by the same kind, they went through hardships and suffered countless hardships. More and more, become the most powerful barbarian in the forest.Today is only possible thanks to the solidarity of the hearts of the people, love for the masses, dedication to the outside world, and selfishness as a shame.But in the past, the head ancestor was lustful, courageous and powerful, and all women loved him, so he had three wives and concubines in his own family, so he left a bad example. Originally, our own people have always loved each other, helped each other, and even bullied the old and weak in other clans They don't have any bad habits, so once they fight with other races, or when enemies come, they always gain the upper hand.Every time there is a massacre, it is caused by the chieftain taking wives and concubines and occupying other people's lovers.Thinking of the pain, I intend to set an example and get rid of this bad habit.My husband and wife have a good relationship, and they have always been monogamous. They never remarried until their wife died of old age. They said to people: "We forest people, except for encountering external aggression and dying at the hands of poisonous snakes and beasts, most of them live long lives. But in the past dynasties No matter how strong and courageous the chief is, he will either end up fighting with his rival, or he will die of illness and weakness in his middle age. This is all because of marrying more wives and concubines, and forcibly occupying other wives. Look at my old man, he is already in his eighties and nineties, except for his gray beard and hair. , the energy has never diminished, just like young people, in the middle of several dangerous encounters, they were able to save themselves from danger, and lived longer than anyone else, because of monogamy. I hope you will follow my example in the future. You must know that the forest is vast, I don’t know how many other races are scattered in various places. Some of them are located in secluded places and are too far apart. They haven’t been discovered yet. These alien races don’t know how to use their strength to get food and clothing. Only with one heart can we resist. We have a total of three or four hundred people, much less than them, and if there are accidents and murders for women, things are unpredictable. When an accident happens, the enemy suddenly seizes the opportunity to attack, and if the hearts of the people are scattered for a moment, there will be an immediate disaster of destruction." The old man is usually the most loved by his peers, but one year he was injured by a poisonous python, and he would get sick every spring and summer, his hands and feet would often be swollen, and he could not move for several days. All people keep.Fearing that something might go wrong, one time when he recovered from his illness, he convened his fellow clansmen to speak again and again, and another chief was elected.When I came up, I still listened to the advice of the old man, and never married more wives and concubines.Later, because his wife was injured and disabled, he married another one, so he left another bad example. After his death, the husband of Shanlan became the chief.The first two years were peaceful, but in recent years, because of his great authority, although he was afraid of the old man A Pang, he did not dare to take the women of his own tribe, he still often went out under the pretext of hunting to snatch girls from other tribes for his pleasure.At the beginning, the old man was only admonishing, but never gathered everyone to change his bad habits, and the robbed woman was a foreign woman.Naifu Huang Shandu is also the number one warrior in the clan, smart, dexterous, athletic, most favored by the elderly and respected by everyone, this kind of thing is a custom passed down from generation to generation, no one cares about it.Shan Lan is passionate and jealous, and Kongzi is angry and helpless.Last month, because of her husband's concubine's death, she was convening her cronies to make a secret plan. She thought that the foreign mountain girl in the forest was not satisfied, so she wanted to go to another mountain village to rob her. He lured in the enemy from outside the mountain, so he informed the old man, scolded him, and got angry. The husband and wife quarreled, but the old man didn't know about it.Because of the feud between husband and wife, he moved to the local area by the order of the old man. This group of savages originally lived deep in the forest on the southeast corner. There was also a lake there, several times larger than the Hualin Pond. The savages were called Yue'er Lake, and the old man lived with these savages by the lake in the past.Until recent years, I felt that Huang Shan, the new chief, was quite courageous and intelligent. Except for his lust, the rest could act according to his will, and he was very submissive on weekdays.I am old and happy, and I love the scenery of the small lake of Hualintang. There are many flowers, fruits and trees by the lake, so I moved here. If nothing important happens on weekdays, I will not spend time there. The old man's wife died early, and he brought a few children with him, and they lived separately in a tall tree house by the forest.There are also eight or nine tree houses built on the nearby trees, all of which are relatives of the old man Apang.因其做了多年酋长，为族中人受了许多辛苦险难，出力最多，智勇双全，成了族中圣人，谁都对他万分敬爱。知其年虽极老，仍和当年一样勇敢，遇上大事，总是不顾性命抢先上前。森林中本有两处异族仇敌，虽经老人制服，相安多年，不曾来犯，但这两起敌人均极猛恶，心中不免怀恨，对方毒刺又极凶恶，中人必死，长于暗算，最畏忌的只老人一个，多少年来不敢蠢动，全由于此。惟恐离群独居，被对方派上凡个敢死勇士行刺弄死。这一带左近毒蛇猛兽又多，老人以前曾吃过两次大亏，几为毒蟒所杀，洞中野人也伤过不少，全都担心。 老人却因花林塘风景既好，又具形胜，正当那两起仇敌的来路，表面推说年老喜静，实则另有深意，断定对方大举来犯虽然不敢，自己只一落单，必要设法选了死上来此行刺。来的也许便是酋长本人，意欲将计就计，将内中一个少年酋长治得死心塌地，使其化敌为友，全族中人都和本族一样，双方上辈本来同种同族，中道分离，业经自己多年苦心考查出来，如照自己的心愿，将那新立十来年最有勇名的少年酋长收伏，再与说明来历，折箭为誓，双方结为一家弟兄，联合起来，将另一强仇白乞老除去，从此便可永享安乐之福，不致互相残杀，再起争斗。主意打好，但未对人说起。众野人却担了心事，再三求说，要与同居。 老人明白众人心意，惟恐人多将对方吓退，始而执意不许，后见众人求说不已，并在暗中选出好些壮士埋伏林内，轮流守望。过了多半年，果然发现刺客，等到众人警觉，人已逃走，老人身上还受了两处伤，偏是满面笑容，也不明言刺客形貌，是否仇敌遣来，怎会被他逃走。 住在旁边树屋的虽是几个未成年的男女幼童，因其从小生长森林之中，随同大人打猎采荒，斫伐树木，经历各种险阻，五六岁起便佩带武器，学会使用方法，耳濡目染，不满十岁便能应敌打猎，一个个精强力壮，动作轻快。老人晚年又最爱这些孙男女，从小便教他们使用各种兵器，练习甚勤。野人虽不会什武艺，但因森林之中危机四伏，不时均须与那毒蛇猛兽、食人蛮以及各种异族搏斗，常年经验积累之下，自然而然练成各种使用刀矛弓矢之法，最厉害是那梭镖、弩箭、石枪、石梭之类，简直百发百中，打将起来又猛又急，有那手法高明的，真比寻常练过武功的人还要厉害。阿庞这一种野人本就聪明机警，多力耐劳，不像别的山人只顾眼前，有了两天饱饭便不愿再动，非但样样富足，便这些小人也都智勇双全，众心如一，不受外人丝毫欺负。这时各立在旁，有的似还动过手，断无不知之理，可是问将起来谁也不说。老人经众请求，居然答应选了十来家，许其移住在侧。 花林塘本是一个荒凉所在，只有一角小湖和湖边一片花树，自经老人看中，移居之后，整理得十分整齐，只湖边一带，连尽头一座并不甚高，形势奇特，隐在花树丛中的孤峰，却经老人下令列为禁地，一向不许别人前往走动。另外湖边有老人祖孙亲手建造的几所树屋，平日也空在那里，专作藏放当地特产形如柑橘白的花果和别的贵重东西之用，不许别人居住。这次为了山兰夫妻失和，老人最爱这个侄孙媳妇。族中旧例：只一成年，所居树屋均要亲手建造，以旁人相助为耻。因怜山兰体弱多病，作为借居，腾了一所出来，命其住在上面。因是禁地，所以方才那几个幼童往取水果时，迟疑不敢。后来想起山兰屋内藏有不少这类白花果，内中两个又是山兰之女，因觉双珠人好，取来待客。 山兰正在养病，听说来了一个极好看的外族女子，心生误会，以为丈夫还是不听老人劝阻，仗着酋长威势，又往山外掳来美貌妇女，不由勾动妒火，急怒交加，赶来探问。老远望见双珠生得那么年轻好看，装束尤好，越发悲愤。本是满腔盛气，及和双珠对面，不知怎的越看越好，心中先生怜爱，忽又想起取水果的幼童曾说，来人每一幼童都送有礼物。因时常接近汉人，知道汉家人常用各种针、线、料珠、绸布、红丝、彩球等山人心爱之物，深入蛮荒，换取兽皮、药材、象牙、犀角、各种物产，经商谋利，正是这类东西。对方如是丈夫掳来，身边不会带有货物。必是森林采荒，遇见兽群冲散，逃来此地。这花林塘乃老祖阿庞所居，谁也不敢随便走进，外人只容进来便是上客。丈夫又不在此，分明自己多心。念头一转，敌意消去大半，二女见面，再一问答，得知来意，越发欢喜。
