Holding a cigarette under his arm, he carefully put Jie Shibang into his pocket, patted it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow, we are destined to meet each other in this deep mountain and forest. I have already thought of a plan, no matter what.
If something unexpected happens, you can leave the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow? Not tomorrow?"
"No," he glanced at the door first, then turned back and pointed at Xiaoxuan, whispering: "You girl killed the leader's brother-in-law. I have to explain to them. Tomorrow, I will do a ceremony.
After the ceremony is over, I will tell her that she is the reincarnation of Vajra Haimu, and please cooperate with her."
"You say Xiaoxuan is Vajra Haimu? What do you mean?"
He said: "You don't understand even if I tell you. They all believe this. Just cooperate as I say."
"How can Xiaoxuan cooperate?" I asked.
"Come over here."
I leaned over and he whispered the details we needed to cooperate with.
It's not easy to reason here. The people here have been isolated from the world for many years, and the religious beliefs in Tibetan areas have a great influence on them.
It was by grasping this that Zhang Biao was able to get along like a fish in the tribe. He married four Sherpa wives, and it is said that he planned to marry three more good-looking ones. Then he would change one every week and have sex every night.
bridegroom.
I asked him, I said, do you not plan to go out? Do you plan to stay in the mountains for the rest of your life?
He answered me and said, "Why are you going out? I am still a fugitive outside. It would be great to stay here. I would not change my job to a provincial governor. Unless one day the tribe knows that he is a liar, then he will have to run away."
Its daybreak.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
We were taken out to participate in their "Catching Chaga" ceremony.
This is a ritual similar to gambling. The Sherpas have no laws. Once there is a conflict between them, they sometimes use this ritual of catching Chaga to decide life and death.
The host of the ceremony was Zhang Biao. It was very simple. There was a black jar made of clay on the table. What was in the jar could not be seen from the outside.
There were dozens of dried walnuts in the jar. Only one of the walnuts had a mark on the bottom and a small hole drilled into it.
This walnut with small eyes is called "Chaga."
Three chances, if Chaga can be caught, then this person will be innocent and will not be punished. We will send Xiaoxuan to arrest her because she killed a man from the tribe.
In the middle of the night last night, Zhang Biao told us that he had secretly tampered with Chaga and put a layer of gum on the surface, which would make it feel sticky when touched.
"Hukka! Hukka! Hukka!"
A group of men in the tribe slapped their blades and shouted "Hu Ka".
King Zemi looked gloomy and waved his hand. Zhang Biao nodded and signaled Xiaoxuan to start grabbing.
Xiaoxuan stepped forward and took a deep breath, then slowly put her hand into the jar.
The first time, Xiaoxuan caught ordinary walnuts.
The second time, what she caught was ordinary walnuts.
last chance.
According to the plan, she must catch "Chaga".
Unexpectedly, Xiaoxuan's hand was stuck in the jar for a long time, but she still refused to take it out.
Amidst the continuous noise from everyone, Xiaoxuan sweated on her forehead and seemed to be hesitant.
I looked at Zhang Biao anxiously and asked him with my eyes what was going on? Didn't he say that he had marked it last night?
Zhang Biao looked back at me with the same puzzled expression.
At this time, he turned to look at Sister Zemi Wang.
The woman crossed her arms and looked at Xiaoxuan in front of the table with an expressionless face.
I looked at Xiaoxuan, and after a few hesitations, she suddenly seemed to have made a discovery.
With a happy expression on her face, Xiaoxuan quickly took out a walnut from the jar.
