In the past three years, Huahai Village and Lu Village have had frequent exchanges. Even the daughter of the patriarch Gu Xin married Shu Zhuang of Lu Village. Today Gu Xin went to Lu Village to see his daughter and gave some things by the way, including
He also specially brought many tribesmen with him to give Huwa swan eggs and swan meat. Some of these tribesmen were also related to Lu Village by marriage, and some were strong young men who went to find the unmarried girls of Lu Village.
How familiar the opportunity is.
The tribesmen were used to going out in groups. They went early in the morning and came back in the afternoon. Gu and Xin had just walked across the bridge when they heard the noise coming from the forest. Zun came in and found such a shocking and puzzling sight.
situation.
Seeing Gu Xin and the people from Huahai Village coming, Huwa replied calmly: "Uncle Gu Xin, I want to go to Huahai today and I saw a pheasant flying into the forest halfway.
, I chased in..."
Huwa only talked about what he saw and what happened on the spot. As for the monkey stealing the bow and arrow from the clan, he didn't say much. Gu Xin's face became more and more gloomy as he listened. Someone shouted: "Monkey, today
I didn’t send you to hunt, so why did you take out the bows and arrows from the warehouse without permission? They are still the best arrows!”
Gu Xin asked in a deep voice: "Monkey, what on earth is going on?"
The monkey had long since stopped daring to scream, holding back the pain and sweating, and argued loudly: "Chief, don't just listen to this kid's nonsense. I went out to dig the ground this morning and heard pheasants croaking in the forest, so I wanted to kill a few of them.
Bring the pheasant back to the tribe. When I returned to the village, there was no one in the warehouse, and you were not here, so I took out the bow and arrows..."
Compared with other simple-minded tribesmen, he is very cunning and smart. Seeing that he could no longer hide the matter, he changed his excuse and claimed that he just wanted to hunt a few pheasants for the tribe. In this case, even taking a bow and arrow privately was nothing.
Big mistake. As for the missing arrow, it was thrown away by Huwa with a stone. How could he have expected that a child would just run out and throw stones?
While the monkey was talking, Gu Xin had already checked the pheasant and various traces nearby, and slowly said: "Obviously, Huwa did not lie. The chicken was indeed hit by a stone, and its wings happened to be broken.
The root fell, and your arrow struck the stone."
The monkey explained: "Yes, it was just an accident. I didn't expect it! But the kid hit me with a stone. I was accidentally injured by him!"
Gu Xin didn't speak quickly, and there was no angry expression on his face, but it made people feel a little depressed for some reason. People who were familiar with him knew that the clan leader was extremely angry at this moment. He asked slowly: "You took it privately?"
Leaving aside the matter of bows and arrows, it doesn’t matter who shot the pheasant. I want to ask, since the first arrow has disappeared, why is there another arrow on the ground? The pheasant has already landed, and what you shot with this arrow is another.
who?"
Huwa had just said that when he turned to leave, the monkey opened his bow and shot an arrow at his back. Then he turned around and threw another stone. Seeing that the leader wanted to pursue the case, the monkey quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't shoot."
He was just upset because he lost a fine steel arrow cluster and wanted to scare him."
Gu Xin: "Then why did the arrow fly out?"
Monkey: "My shoulder happened to be hit by a stone. As soon as I let go of my hand, the arrow flew away."
Patriarch: "If you are hit in the shoulder, the arrow will not shoot out unless you have already fired the bow at that time. As a strong adult like you, when facing a child, you have to point the arrow at his back and point the arrow at his back.
Draw the bow?"
The monkey realized that something was wrong and shouted loudly: "I'm just making gestures and showing off, but I don't really mean to..."
Gu Xin interrupted him sharply: "Gestures? In the deserted mountain forest, if you meet another person who gestures to you like this, what do you think it means? If you gesture to me like this, what do you think I will do?
There is no need to talk about the matter anymore, you must accept the most severe clan rules!"
There is no one else in the dense forest in the mountains, with a hard bow of eucalyptus and a cluster of fine steel arrows. At a short distance of three feet, a strong adult points his bow and arrow at the back of a child. What does this scene mean? As soon as he loosens his fingers, the child will
You will die! The monkey claims to be scaring people, but who is it scaring?
Gu Xin was going to be dealt with according to the strictest clan rules, and everyone else was shocked. This meant that the monkey would die on the spot! After all, they were friends who grew up together. Someone quickly whispered to the side and persuaded: "Clan leader, this
Is it too harsh? No matter what, Huba was unscathed!"
The monkey was also frightened. He knelt there with one hand on the ground and said, "Chief, please spare me. I don't dare to do it anymore!"
Gu Xin sighed and said in a low tone: "Monkey, you made mistakes back then, but after being taught a lesson, you did not learn to truly repent. Instead, you made the same mistake again and again. What happened today is not a big deal, but you should never do it again.
Shoot the second arrow. The arrow has left the string and there is no turning back.
I am ten years older than you, and I have watched you grow up since childhood; and most of the people here are friends who grew up with you, and they are begging for you. I really can't bear to kill you with my own hands, so
I will expel you according to the clan rules. You can leave right now! Don’t take anything with you except the clothes you are wearing, and never come near Huahai Village again!”
There are two most severe clan rules in Huahai Village. The first one is of course execution. But for primitive tribes, every clan member is precious. Survival in a difficult and dangerous environment must rely on the strength of collective cooperation, unless it is
If you commit an irreparable crime, otherwise this clan rule will rarely be enforced. Then the most severe clan rule is expulsion.
In the wild mountains, one cannot survive alone. Expelling the person is similar to killing the person, except that the tribe does not have to do it himself. Although the monkey has murderous intentions and evil deeds, the tiger baby is safe after all, so there are tribesmen.
Begging for mercy for him. Gu Xin really couldn't bear to execute the clan members with his own hands, so he decided to expel him on the spot, without waiting until he returned to the village.
After hearing this, the monkey collapsed on the ground, crying and pleading uncontrollably. Someone couldn't help but whispered: "Chief, is this punishment too harsh? He will not survive if he is expelled from the village!"
Gu Xin shook his head and said: "If we don't punish us like this, do you think the people of Lu Village will agree? If foreigners treat our children like this, will our Huahai Village agree? And based on the relationship between Huwa and Huahai Village,
What the monkey did is even more unforgivable!”
Different tribes occasionally compete for prey, but what they compete for is only the prey. If you shoot a child who is not a threat, it becomes a completely different matter. Needless to say if you hit it, even if you don't,
It was enough to trigger a battle between the two clans. Now that Lu Village and Huahai Village are on good terms, they should be dealt with more severely, because this arrow is equivalent to shooting their own children.
Everyone knew that they could no longer beg for mercy for the direct monkey, so someone asked Huwa again: "Child, what do you think, can you not be so harsh?"
Huwa blinked his eyes and had not yet answered. Gu Xin touched his head and said: "My child, you are too young to answer such a question." Then he said sternly to the tribesman: "You shouldn't ask Hu like that.
Baby, do you want the ignorant child to forgive the monkey, and then find an excuse to let us spare the monkey? No matter who the arrow is shot at, the thing will be the same, and it will not change whether it is Tiger Boy or someone else. Then
You shouldn’t ask Huwa, let alone seduce a child!”
Huwa saw that the monkey's fate was so miserable, and he heard such a question again, and he didn't know what to do. Gu Xin's words solved the problem for him. He seemed to suddenly understand something, nodded and said: "
Uncle Gu Xin, I understand, this is your business."
At this time, Gu Xin had already taken the bow and arrow, pointed the bow and arrow at the monkey and said: "If I had expelled you from the village in the past, you would never have survived for long. But now that the situation in the mountains has changed, you may still have a chance to survive.
, I hope you can truly repent this time. Leave now and never come within ten miles of Huahai Village and Lucun again!"
The monkey finally got up and walked away from the forest holding an arm. The tiger boy suddenly shouted: "I just said, if you want that chicken, I will give it to you. Now you can take it away if you want."
.”
The monkey did not dare to look back, but gritted his teeth and carried the pheasant away. His right arm was injured at the moment, and he had no weapons. This pheasant might be enough food for him to survive for several days. Gu Xin touched the tiger
The baby's head said again: "You are such a smart boy, and you can throw stones very accurately!"
Huwa replied: "This is what I have loved to play since I was a child." He was telling the truth. Everyone in the Lu tribe knew that Huwa loved to pick up stone eggs and play with rocks since he was a child. Later, even many people in Huahai Village knew.
Huwa first hit the pheasant with a stone today, and then dislocated the monkey's shoulder. Gu Xin and others were surprised, but they didn't think of anything else. They just sighed that this child had played with stones since he was a child. It was really a good day today.
I'm very lucky, the stone hit was so accurate!
An eight-year-old child can throw a stone the size of an egg with great force. If the speed and strength are just right, if you are lucky, you can break the wings of a pheasant. The monkey was pulling the bow with all his strength when he was suddenly hit by a stone.
The shoulder may also be dislocated.
So everyone thinks that the tiger baby is very lucky. Of course, there is no other explanation besides this. Who would have thought that this eight-year-old child has entered the second realm without anyone knowing?
This crisis incident was resolved with the expulsion of the monkey. Gu Xin's decisive handling also resolved a possible conflict crisis between Huahai Village and Lu Village, which had just formed an alliance. At that time,
No one from Lucun was present, and Mr. Shan and Granny Shui only heard the story afterwards.
