"No matter what the foreigners say, we cannot give them a chance!"
"kill him!"
"kill him!"
"kill him……"
The constant shouts of killing made Xia Shang become nervous. It seemed that the hatred of foreigners among the Miao people was far more serious than he imagined. It is no wonder that before this, both Miao Keke and the patriarch tried their best to hide it from Xia Shang and others.
s arrival.
Fortunately, the patriarch's expression was quite calm, as if he had anticipated everything.
The shouting lasted for a long time, and the commotion in the crowd caused the long torches to tremble continuously, and the fire light flickered and flickered...
At this time, the patriarch had a big fire raised not far away from Xia Shang, and the burning time of the big fire cleverly eased the emotions of everyone present.
After the shouts in the crowd gradually subsided, the chief of the clan stepped forward and said to the tribe: "We, the old Miao people, have been living here for nearly five hundred years, and we have always lived a life without fighting against the world. Although, we
The tribesmen don’t have a good impression, and in recent years there have been a lot of unpleasantness between the Miao and foreigners, which makes many of our tribesmen full of hostility towards foreigners. But one thing I hope my tribesmen don’t forget is that we Miao people don’t have to like foreigners.
But we Miao people are by no means evil people. The reason why we Miao people have been able to live here safely for so many years is because of our simplicity and kindness. We can kill people, but we cannot kill people at will."
The words of the patriarch were recognized by many people, and coupled with the status of the patriarch, the people in the outer circle were talking to each other and seemed to be quite touched.
The patriarch continued: "The cause of the matter was that my brother Miao Yong secretly led people to ambush on the edge of the Miao territory and killed all the foreigners who passed by. This foreigner came to the Miao because someone was poisoned.
Looking for a solution, a fight unexpectedly broke out in the woods. Today, Miao Yong returned to the place where he ambush and found that more than 20 of our Miao brothers were brutally killed. It is still unclear whether it was this foreigner who did it.
.”
"Brother, isn't this obvious?" Upon hearing this, Miao Yong couldn't bear it anymore.
"How presumptuous! It's a gathering of the entire clan. Isn't this the time for you to get close to me?"
Miao Yong was startled and lowered his head: "Yes, the patriarch... This person personally admitted that his people had a fight with our people, and that several of his people were able to enter the depths of the rain forest, which means that the people he brought were all first-rate.
Master, if it wasn't his people who killed our tribe, who else could it be? And at this juncture, they foreigners must have an ulterior motive."
"Yes! I also think things are strange, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence." Another clan leader in the crowd agreed.
"Besides, foreigners are good at sophistry and deception, and we have already suffered a lot from them."
The patriarch frowned slightly: "Let's listen to what the person involved has to say."
Everyone's eyes turned to Xia Shang who was tied to the stake.
Xia Shang said: "We have no motive to kill the Miao people. We are here to find a way to resolve loneliness. We will never enmity with the Miao people. Wouldn't this ruin the hope of my friend? Besides, I have said many times that we will go there today.
What Xiao Shulin saw showed that a large number of masters killed the Miao brothers, and they were definitely not my people."
The patriarch interrupted: "Is there anyone among the clan members who went to the grove today who can stand up to testify for him? Are there any traces of evidence at the scene?"
After saying that, there was some commotion among the crowd.
But Miao Yong didn't seem to want to cause trouble, and looked at everyone coldly.
Miao Ke could see that the situation was not good, so he spoke regardless of his identity: "This matter is of great importance, and we must seek truth from facts! If what he said is true, we Miao people will be in crisis, and we can't joke!"
The patriarch also said: "Yes, this matter is not trivial. We must not be vague. This is related to the actions we Miao people will take in the future."
After saying this, three people came out: "Reporting to the clan leader, we did find a lot of suspicious things in the woods today. It is possible that many masters have actually sneaked into our territory."
The patriarch glared: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"
"Brother Miao Yong, he...he..."
Miao Yong was anxious and interrupted: "Even if someone really entered the Miao people, it doesn't mean that these people have nothing to do with this person! I think that these people who infiltrated were attracted by this person. The most important thing for us now is to kill them
He can't create unnecessary complications. And... when has this happened? Instead of thinking carefully about strategies to deal with foreign enemies, we are wasting time on an insignificant Han Chinese. So what if he has nothing to do with this matter? Now is not hypocrisy.
At that time, we must unite now and strive to be fully prepared before the foreign enemies come. I don’t need to say how powerful those snake-faced people are, they are all-pervasive. Now, according to the Han people, they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.
Pass!"
"Bastard!" The patriarch was furious and almost rushed forward to give Miao Yong a slap in the face.
But at this time, an old man behind the patriarch grabbed the patriarch's hand.
"Miao Yan, I think Miao Yong is right about this matter."
"Elder Gu..."
The old man was nearly 100 years old and looked confused in the dim firelight. But his body bones looked quite strong. He walked out of the queue with a cane and coughed: "Ahem... The biggest problem for us old Miao people now is whether to stay or leave, not
It's a waste of time on a foreigner. Now we have to take the safest method. Regardless of whether this person is related to those snake-faced people or not, I don't think there should be any complications at this time. Kill him and cut off all possibilities! Even if it is used for breeding
Gu is too cruel, but we can change to a relatively peaceful death method and give them a happy life."
The ancient elder rarely speaks and is the longest among the Miao people.
It's not that Elder Gu's words carry much weight, but he did speak of a key point in the survival of the entire Miao people.
Now is not the time to worry about one person's guilt or not, but to unite to face the coming danger.
For a moment, everyone was silent, and even the patriarch became hesitant.
How to deal with the future is the key for everyone.
"Master..." Miao Keke became anxious, grabbed the big witch and begged.
But this most important figure among the Miao people remained silent and did not express anything.
The quieter the scene, the more nervous Xia Shang felt.
If the Miao people no longer care about right and wrong, then all their defenses will become unimportant, and this trial will become a dead end.
"Wait!" Xia Shang suddenly said.
Miao Yong shouted: "It's not your turn to speak now!"
"The last word!" Xia Shang shouted.
The patriarch: "Let him speak."
Miao Yong snorted: "Let's see what else you have to say."
Xia Shang looked at the mute woman: "She is innocent!" (To be continued)
