The people in Lu Village were dumbfounded. They had never encountered such a thing before, and they could not even imagine it! The tribesmen in the wilderness did not have any concept of honesty and keeping promises, because there was no need for it. They had no intention of defrauding people.
, If you say exchange, you will definitely exchange, and you won’t even think about who throws things over first.
So Huwa didn't expect that the Huahai Villager would deliberately not throw away things, thinking that he had forgotten. At this time, Granny Shui walked out of the village entrance to the edge of the cliff, looked at the hazy fog and said: "He either forgot, or deliberately lied to us.
Don’t worry, everyone, when the clan leader comes back, he will talk to Huahai Village about this matter."
Only then did the tribesmen react, standing on the edge of the cliff and yelling curses at the opposite side. Just now, because the sun happened to shine through the clouds and diffuse mist drifted over the waterfall, they could not see clearly what the person opposite looked like. Now,
It's hard to find.
Huwa stood on the edge of the cliff and was stunned for a long time. This was the first time that he had seen what it means to lie. Someone actually used this method to deceive thirty hard-boiled eggs and several feet of water cloth from Lucun! Of course it was impossible for him.
I heard what Bai Sha once said to Li Qingshui - primitive tribes in the wilderness cannot remain primitive forever. Sooner or later, they will learn conspiracy and deception. What happened today is just the beginning.
In fact, "deception" can also be seen in hunting. Many beasts are very good at camouflage, hiding themselves in complex environments to deceive the eyes and ears of natural enemies. Now that person must think that he is very smart, because he succeeded
Everyone in Jianglu Village was deceived and got so many things in vain.
But the people in Lucun were furious. Even Nanhua felt angry and ashamed because that person came from her natal village, Huahai Village. The people in Lucun did not think of other possibilities. Only people from Huahai Village lived in the deep mountains on the other side of the cliff.
The clan leader Ruoshan returned to the village when it was getting dark. He was not out hunting this time, but took Bo Zhuang, Zhong Zhuang and several other clan members to the valley where the Qingshui clan used to live, so he did not bring the plate with him.
Hu goes together.
The clansmen told the clan leader about this matter, but Master Shan just nodded solemnly and said: "I know, I will deal with it!"
That night, all the tribesmen had rested. The soft moonlight shone down, and the scenery in the mountains was still vaguely visible. Panhu came to the altar again and was about to sit down and practice, but he heard the voice of Master Shan calling: "Follow me."
!”
Panhu stood up and followed Shan Ye with his tail wagging, and found that Granny Shui was also there. The two of them and one dog left the village and came to the cliff. They stood at the narrowest point between the cliffs on both sides, where Panhu had originally
The place where the hens were driven away. Granny Shui said: "I noticed some movement in the village during the day, and when I came out, the man had already left. I remembered our agreement that one person should always be left to guard the village, so
I didn’t pursue him."
Ruoshan pondered: "We don't have to worry about thirty eggs and a few feet of cloth, but this trend is very dangerous. If it is not dealt with, it will make people think that cheating is a beneficial and harmless behavior, which will lead to tribal conflicts.
The chaos and disputes. Therefore, I must make it clear to the patriarch of Huahai Village, and people must be in awe."
Then he pointed to the other side of the cliff seven feet away, lowered his head and said to Panhu: "You should be able to jump over it. Try it now. It is more dangerous. You should usually pay attention to avoid danger. But there is nothing wrong at the moment.
I can guarantee you won’t fall!”
Panhu is now much smarter than he was more than a year ago. He can fully understand the meaning of Shan Ye's words. He takes a few steps back and kicks on the ground among the rocks. He takes a few steps and leaps into the air. With a whoosh, he jumps to the top of the mountain.
On the other side of the cliff. Then it stood up and waved one front paw as if to wave, indicating that it was successful. Shanye smiled slightly, jumped into the air and jumped over the cliff.
Master Shan took Panhu to Huahai Village, and Granny Shui returned to the village, while the rest of the clansmen were still sleeping. But Huwa, who was sitting in the hut, knew about this. He can be said to be "
"Seeing" can also be said to be perceived in a calm state. At that time, he entered the state where he could vaguely see all the surrounding scenery, and he had not yet absorbed the perception and looked inside.
Huwa did not fall asleep naturally after performing the exercises tonight. When he came out of samadhi, he was thinking again - Master Shan must have gone to find that person, and brought Panhu to get the things that were defrauded from Lucun.
return.
Shanye and Panhu returned to the village before the rooster crowed at dawn, and the tiger boy was already asleep at that time. When the tiger boy got up, he found Panhu back, and asked him what happened last night, but the dog just shook his ears.
It looked very proud, since it couldn't speak anyway, so of course it couldn't explain clearly, so the tiger boy went to ask Shan Ye again.
Master Shan patted Huwa's little shoulder and said with a smile: "You'll know in a while. We'll wait and see what the people in Huahai Village will do."
After the sun rose, the tribesmen who were drying hemp seeds and prey skins on the cliff outside the village noticed movement on the opposite side. There was no fog that day, so they could see clearly. Gu Xin, the patriarch of Huahai Village, led the village
Dozens of strong men came to the cliff. They chopped down a giant tree more than ten feet high in the mountain, and everyone worked together to lift it to the cliff, creating a dangerous-looking bridge.
However, the tribal men who were accustomed to walking on the difficult and dangerous mountain roads walked steadily over this huge tree. At this time, Ruoshan also led the tribe to greet them, and welcomed these Huahai Villagers to the altar in the village like guests.
.
Gu Xin said with a face full of shame: "Please forgive the mountain god and ask the people of Lu Village to forgive me. Someone in our village did such a shameful thing. It is a shame to all the people of Huahai Village. There are thirty swan eggs and a head yesterday."
The wild boar we just killed can be regarded as compensation for Huahai Village."
Ah Jin on the side asked in confusion: "Uncle Gu Xin, what Huahai Village owes Lu Village is only fifteen swan eggs and two pig legs. Why do you have to compensate so much?"
Gu Xin explained seriously: "I have talked with Master Shan last night. This is not only compensation but also punishment. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. If you just return it as it is, then if the person who did the wrong thing succeeds,
If you don’t succeed and you don’t lose anything, how can you stop this behavior? So you have to pay an extra price!”
This truth is very simple, and all the tribesmen understand it. At this time, someone in Huahai Village said dissatisfiedly: "There was fog floating on the cliff at that time, and no one could see clearly who was on the other side. How could we be sure that it was from our village?"
What? Even if someone from Huahai Village did it, it is only his fault, and we should not let the whole village pay compensation!"
Gu Xin turned around and scolded: "Only the people from our village on the other side of the cliff, and only the people from Huahai Village know how to exchange things with the people from Lu Village like this! If it were other tribes, no one would risk walking alone in the mountains for several days.
Lu, just to deceive the Lu tribe with these things. What I am doing today is to let you remember not to do things that will embarrass yourself and the entire tribe! The prey that is usually harvested and the things exchanged belong to the whole village.
After all, shouldn’t the entire village be held responsible if something goes wrong?”
At this time, a young voice suddenly shouted: "Chief Gu Xin, I know who did it."
Everyone turned around and saw that the speaker was Huwa in the crowd. Next to Huwa was a flower-tailed dog standing like a human. Gu Xin walked over and knelt down and said, "Child, you saw that person clearly at that time.
?, who is he?"
Huwa replied: "Look - even Panhu recognized it!" Following the words, Panhu raised a front paw and pointed at a person in the village, it was the person who just expressed his dissatisfaction. Huwa again
Said: "That's him, the person Panhu refers to!"
Gu Xin stood up and said with an angry face: "Monkey, it turns out you did this!"
Huwa did recognize that person, and felt a bit familiar when he heard his footsteps. This was a keen perception that ordinary people could not understand, but he was not sure yet, but as soon as the person spoke, he was sure by his voice.
.Not only Huwa, Panhu also pointed out that person with certainty, among the tribesmen Gu Xin brought today.
The man named Monkey stepped back a few steps in a panic: "Child, how can you talk nonsense without evidence? Can you even believe a dog pointing randomly? I just said it, there was fog on the cliff yesterday, it was basically
I can’t see clearly what’s on the other side.”
Master Shan suddenly said in a deep voice: "When I went to find Patriarch Gu Xin last night, I didn't even mention that there was fog between the cliffs. When you came here today, no one else said this, and how did you know?"
The monkey was speechless and speechless, and everyone suddenly realized. Gu Xin scolded: "Only the person who did this knows what the situation was. Monkey, that's you!"
At this time, Panhu suddenly roared at the monkey, jumped over with his hind legs, and threw him to the ground. A very strong man had no room for resistance in front of a small dog. Shan
I shouted in time: "Panhu, don't move yet, let the people of Huahai Village handle it themselves."
Panhu didn't open his mouth to bite the monkey, but just threw him down. After hearing this, he straightened up and walked back proudly, wagging his tail. But the monkey's whole body was already weak and he couldn't get up for a long time. Gu Xin ordered the tribesmen: "
Pick up the monkey and take it back to deal with it according to the clan rules. The compensation for Lucun today will also be on his head!"
After the matter was dealt with, Gu Xin expressed his gratitude to Huwa and Panhu, and finally found out who did it. In his heart, Huwa admired Shan Ye very much, although he recognized the monkey who did the bad thing
, but could not produce evidence that others could be convinced of. But Shan Ye's words directly hit the flaw in Monkey's words, making Monkey unable to deny the facts.
Is this wisdom? Huwa still doesn’t understand what wisdom is, but in his simple understanding, what Shan Ye is showing at this moment is wisdom. He is also vaguely aware of another thing. He just witnessed deception yesterday, but as long as
Deception will always leave flaws, and everything in the world seems to contain mysteries waiting for people to discover.
