Chapter 10 [10] War without gunpowder
A deposit of [-] knives, and a month's stay first, the house price is also [-] knives cheaper.

No matter how you look at it, you have earned it.

A month later, if I can't even get two million dollars, I really feel ashamed of my identity.

……

1400 5 Month 11 Day.

Partly cloudy.

The land is still wet, and the thick clouds are slowly floating, pushing the light and shadow on the ground to move, as if a heavy rain is still brewing.

Zhou Li'an looked outside the account and knew that the rain the day before yesterday should have lasted for two full days.

In the corner of the tent, there was a girl dozing off.

Seeing his sudden appearance, she quickly knelt down on the ground.

Zhou Li'an looked at her strangely, not because she was surprised why she was waiting here, but because the girl was much cleaner, her complexion was similar to that of an Asian, her hair was braided, and she showed a surprisingly beautiful youthful face.

Is this a shower?
But the teeth are still very yellow, bad review.

Zhou Li'an walked out of the tent, and the girl quickly stood up to follow, and shouted loudly.

Then, there was a commotion within the tribe.

The sacrificial old lady appeared, and it was another ritual of kneeling and praying, and then danced and said something.

Zhou Li'an probably understood.

The leader who led the team out for trade has not returned yet.

The time of the other party's return can be used as a reference, allowing Zhou Li'an to roughly judge the distance to the nearest settlement of another tribe. Don't worry about this matter, anyway, missing teeth will definitely bring back a lot of fur.

He came here this time only to change the dressing for the wounded, once every two days, just to check the situation of the tribe at any time.

The ability to bring people back to life is enough to be recorded in the annals of the annals after the advent of the Supreme Wind God.

To put it simply, this is also to stabilize the godhead.

The whole process was very fast. The wound patch was removed, disinfected, and the wound healing was confirmed. Finally, antibiotics were injected. Their bodies had not yet developed resistance to the drugs, so the effect of the drugs was surprisingly good, and the degree of recovery was gratifying.

Zhou Li'an didn't stay long, and after returning to his residence, he disappeared out of thin air under the watchful eyes of the old lady and the girl.

After the prostration ceremony.

The old lady sighed, she still couldn't hear God's words.

She even doubted whether God could understand her prayers?

Just as she was frowning and thinking, she unexpectedly found that the girl was giggling, and asked strangely, "Xue Nu?"

The girl grinned innocently and opened her mouthful of yellow teeth: "Wu, God looked at me just now, and he watched me seriously, I can feel it."

The old lady was taken aback when she heard this, and then laughed...

She gently stroked the girl's hair at the temples, without saying anything, but she had some expectation in her heart.

God has never asked for human sacrifices.

However, in the sacrifices from ancient times to the present, living sacrifices are indispensable.

Using young girls as living sacrifices is the highest standard of sacrifice.

Then the problem is coming.

Why does God need tender maidens?
The old lady said softly: "Xue Nu, from today onwards, you must use the sweat room every day to maintain a pure and clean body, and I will ask the women of the tribe to pick more aromatic herbs for you..."

Xue Nu felt aggrieved after hearing this: "The sweat room is very stuffy and hot, Wu, I don't like the sweat room."

"This is your duty!" The old lady said seriously, and suddenly reached out to pinch the girl's chin and parted her lips, "Also, you have to clean your teeth with salt and soap seed juice."

"Salt? But salt is precious."

"Do as I said, continue to wait here. When the sweat room is ready, I will let your mother notify you."

The old lady left.

The girl was frowning, she didn't like the sweat room very much, only the men in the tribe liked to compete who could stay longer in the hot and humid sweat room.

After a long time, a middle-aged woman walked in.

The girl said eagerly: "Mother, the witch told me to go to the sweat room every day, and asked me to clean my teeth with salt and soap."

The eyes of the middle-aged woman showed unspeakable joy. She seemed to know something, but she didn't say anything: "You have to obey the witch, Snow Maiden, you will be the next witch, let's go, our witch, the sweat room is already gone. Ready."

noon.

The thick dark clouds in the distance have not yet chased, and the sun is warm.

The sacrificial old lady stood in front of the tent, watching the women by the small lake in the distance cleaning the girl's body with lake water.

A few half-sized children hid aside and watched from a distance.

"Go away, no one can peek at Xue Nu from now on."

The children dispersed in a rush, and no one dared to violate the majesty of the witch.

But right now.

Shouts came from outside the tribal village, the old lady turned her head and found that many people in the tribe had been alarmed——

"It's missing teeth, it's missing teeth coming back."

"Why is he alone?"

"The leader is injured, there is a lot of blood on his body! Who hurt him!!"

The old lady's eyes became restless for a moment, and she hurried away.

The staggering missing tooth was supported by the tribe, his face was pale and frightened——

"Witch, summon God!! Summon him!!"

Wu didn't speak, his trembling eyes were full of remorse.

She had roughly guessed something.

"You all leave!"

She screened off the others.

When only she and the missing teeth were left, she asked, "What happened?"

Missing Tooth cried loudly: "Our warriors were massacred. The salt, the salt I brought, was all plundered by the people of the 'Tushi'. They will come soon. We can't defeat the Tushi. Not long ago, they annexed the two tribes of 'Chishui' and 'Shanhua', and enslaved their people."

The old lady couldn't believe it: "Why, the tribal chief doesn't allow inter-tribal wars."

"The great chief married the daughter of the Tushi patriarch. This is a gift from the Tushi tribe."

"Witch, pray to God, only God can save us."

Hear this.

The old lady felt dizzy and staggered back a step.

"Witch?" Missing Tooth looked at this scene and felt something was wrong.

And the old lady's answer completely extinguished his flame of hope: "Missing teeth, no one can pray for God to come, no one!"

Missing Tooth didn't understand: "Why? The gods have clearly descended and even bestowed gifts. We have witnessed all of this."

"That's not our prayer, but God's will."

"We can only be enslaved and killed?"

The old lady looked at the height of the basin in the distance, and there were already soldiers from the Tushi tribe. She suddenly sneered: "Maybe we will be enslaved and killed, but... God will also punish us, I firmly believe it!"

Missing teeth in a dazed trance.

The people of the tribe gathered one after another when they discovered the enemy's arrival.

The girl by the lake in the distance also dressed in a hurry, and hurried over with a group of women.

"Enemy, the enemy is coming!"

"Witch! Chief! What shall we do?"

"Will we be killed by the dead? Or will we become slaves of the Tushi Department!"

"Quiet—" Wu stood in the crowd and shouted, making the noisy venue suddenly silent, "Clan people, please don't forget that we are surrounded by gods, and the supreme wind god of the natural gods will protect us!!"

"The soul boat of the Oak God will not carry enemies, and open the door to rebirth for them!"

"The sun god will burn their bodies, and the water god will freeze their souls."

"All enemies who plunder, kill, and persecute us will suffer God's punishment, die without a place to return, and become wandering ghosts on the earth!"

"Don't resist, be quiet, be quiet...with a sincere heart, pray for God to come."

"When God returns again..."

"We will be reborn! From then on, we will become the only masters on the earth!!"

The words fall.

The restless crowd gradually calmed down, but under the calmness, fanaticism was bred.

The enemy will die horribly.

We will be born again.

The Supreme Wind God will protect us! !
In the distance, the sound of shouting and killing, which is completely opposite to the atmosphere, has arrived.

But when the crazy slayer came to the crowd, he was taken aback for a moment. They didn't see the fear they should have seen and fled, and they didn't hear the cry of resistance.

All remain in one state.

silent.

Under the pair of silent eyes, there seemed to be something hidden.

That is not fear and hatred.

Instead, it seemed like schadenfreude and pity.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The enemy was finally enraged by this weird gaze, and the sharp spearhead made of obsidian instantly pierced the necks of several men, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

But even so, no one moved an inch.

On the contrary, that indifferent gaze was even more penetrating.

"enough!"

A voice interrupted this smokeless war.

The leader of the warriors, who was stronger than the missing teeth, came out: "Wu, stand up and tell the great warriors of the Tushi tribe, are you willing to surrender?"

The old lady came out, straightened her hunched body, and looked at each other like the indifferent eyes of the clansmen: "We! Surrender!!"

The man smiled disdainfully, and gave an order: "Tie up the men, and cut off their hands and feet by the rebels. We will search for everything they have, women and children, and bring them back to the Tushi tribe to become our wealth!"

"Tushi! Tushi! Tushi!"

The fanatical shouts were deafening, and they were completely different from the silent losers.

When everything was looted and countless dwellings were pulled down, cowhide tents were used as rucksacks to pack all valuable loot.

The bound men became slaves who carried all these things.

Men and women remained silent.

Only the ignorant children cried loudly.

Under the expulsion and whipping, they left their homes, lined up in a long line and walked up the hillside, letting Tushi's taunts and jokes by the side, trying to provoke them, so that they could kill wantonly.

boom -

The thick dark clouds in the far sky suddenly exploded with thunder.

A young girl exudes a fresh fragrance, but dirty dirt is smeared on her face.

She looked back.

The rain curtain is like a huge hood, covering the crowd from the sky.

She grinned, showing an innocent smile and yellow teeth, and whispered to the old lady beside her, "Wu, the supreme wind god, has blown the thunderstorm, and he is chasing us..."

　Ask for support, compare your heart!
