I immediately said it was Magmazine! If you change someone else, you can be burned, drowned or hanged. I will never care!
Brother Biao frowned and said: "The leader must imitate his ancestors! The candidate for sacrifice can only be the youngest, most beautiful, and purest girl in the tribe! In other words, she is a "virgin".
"This matter was decided by the leader! I can't overturn it! Besides, Marjane's mother also agreed! Her mother said that if she could save the entire tribe, she would be willing to sacrifice her daughter."
"That's nonsense!"
I'm so angry! Angry for their ignorance!
Magazin herself is definitely not willing! Why should her mother and King Zami make the decision for her and say she is willing?
"Brother, listen to Brother Dang's advice. Just pretend you're passing by and you'll be fine after tonight. Otherwise, how many bullets can you have in this gun? Ten rounds? Even if you can kill ten people!
Where’s the rest? They’ll definitely eat you alive!”
"Where does Magdalene live? I want to see her."
"You can't see it! The Black Mountain Festival starts tonight! More than a dozen people are guarding the place. How do you go in to see her?"
I rubbed my face vigorously, put the gun on my waist, turned around and left the cabin.
I looked back and saw that Brother Biao didn't chase him out. I guess he was trying to avoid suspicion.
The people in the tribe were all staring at me, with curiosity and hostility in their eyes.
Suddenly, there was a strong man in the crowd who was about 1.8 meters tall, with a big body and a round waist, and blocked my way. He stared at me and muttered "Hu Ka Hu Ka!"
I understand this. It means that you don't like me and want to fight with me.
I turned left and continued walking around him.
Behind his back he was still mumbling something incomprehensible.
My eyes grew cold and I turned around sharply! I kicked him in the middle of the crotch! The man bent over and knelt down in pain. I quickly picked up a stone on the ground and hit him on the head!
This man opened the gourd on the spot! Blood flowed all over the floor.
"Pooh!"
"Hu Ka, your mother Hu Ka."
Everyone around me looked at me and didn't dare to come forward. Sherpa people have rules that if adult men fight in a duel, it won't matter even if one of them is killed. Instead, the winner will get the title and respect of the tribal warrior.
Knowing where Aunt Mingmi was, I ran to find her, explained with some signs, and asked her to take me to Mamazhen's house.
Magmazhen's house is very simple, just a small wooden house without even a bed. There are many simple tools, medicinal materials, water ladles and bamboo dustpans hung on the walls.
The more I talk, the more excited I get!
Her mother may have understood what I meant, but her face became extremely angry! She pushed me out directly! Then she slammed the door!
Brother Biao didn't dare to help me, and her mother also shut me out. All matters in the tribe, big or small, were decided by the leader! No one else dared to resist!
I can imagine that Mama Jane is locked in a dark room now. She must be helpless and scared!
Just like Brother Biao said, I only have a gun, but there are hundreds of people in the tribe! If they come hard! I will be overwhelmed by the crowd and beaten to death in an instant.
Reasoning? That's even more impossible! I don't understand the basic language!
It's getting dark soon, what should I do now...
If the head is here, if the head is me, what will he do?
I squatted on the ground, smoked three cigarettes in a row, stood up, and watched the sun gradually set.
