Resolving the evil and the blessings
← Ch.074 | Ch.076 → |
Yan Mo didn't care how they communicated with each other. He looked at The Mer-girl, who was released by Yuan Zhan.
"Beautiful and kind girl, I am sorry for Ah-Zhan's rudeness, but he had no intention of hurting you, but that guy is a barbarian through and through. Well, I am often so angry that I can't wait to dig a hole to bury him. But he always has a way to climb up."
The Mer-peoples felt weird, and Yuan Zhan came back to reality, he was now behind his Priest, standing at the Priest behind him who said bad things about him.
The Mer-girl bit his lip and wanted to laugh and hold back.
"I am Yan Mo, Priest of the Jiu Yuan tribe, what about you?" Yan Mo didn't notice it at all, just that he felt a little colder.
The girl hesitated for a while, looked at the smiling companions around, and answered: "My name is Nuo Ma."
"Nuo Ma, hello, " Yan Mo looked at his arms and presented something fro. his hands to The Mer-people."This is the holy feather that Jiu Feng, the mountain god bird, gave me. With it, Jiu Feng will not attack you anymore. I hope you can forgive Ah-Zhan's rudeness."
Nuo Ma and The Mer-people were startled.
Luo Meng immediately refused: "No, this is too precious. Nuo Ma is not requesting you to pay back for the offense, she is just scared, as long as you are willing to cook fishes for us, I think Nuo Ma will not take this matter again. Nuo Ma what do you say?"
Nuo Ma nodded quickly. Although she was angry, she also knew that Yuan Zhan did not really want to hurt her. He just trapped her, even when other humans wanted to touch her. She just feels that her self-esteem has been hurt, there are so many companions and she lost face in front of them.
But the Human Priest came to apologize to her, and The Human Priest is equivalent to their Tribe Priest. She can't imagine getting an apology from the Priest, her face is there, her self-esteem is saved, she is not so angry, but the Human Priest still I took out the young feather from Human-face Bird/Kun Peng. How dare she accept such precious things?
Yan Mo didn't even think that Jiu Feng's feathers were precious. He had a bunch of them at his tent.
As for them being with feathers from Jiu Feng and not be attacked by Jiu Feng, this is something which was determined by him and Jiu Feng.
Jiu Feng promised him that as long as the person who owns its feathers does not actively attack it or harm Mo Mo, it will not attack the person holding its feathers.
At that time, Yan Mo was only speaking things in a precautionary mentality. Even then the discussion with Jiu Feng was a lot of fun. If he really wanted to apologize, he would send medicine and send food. He would never send only one feather, but he did not expect the Mer-people to pay so much attention to this feather.
Yan Mo didn't know at this time that The Mer-people were actually on Jiu Feng's meal plan in there was nothing to eat. In Jiu Feng's eyes, if he couldn't play with those long tail things in the water. The Mer-people looked just like a big fish that looked like a human. In addition to not attacking The Mer-people babies - Jiu Feng will hunt, rest and live, he would never catch little babies, he usually see the adult Mer-peoplramd attempt to attack the lake.
However, The Mer-people will escape to the depths of the lake. So far, Jiu Feng has not successfully preyed on a Mer-people. But it likes to intimidate The Mer-people, because The Mer-people will spray it with water arrows, and it will use it to exercise his ability to evade them in the air.
These are just fun things for Jiu Feng, but for The Mer-people, Jiu Feng, who attacks from the air, has sharp claws and can blow the wind, is one of their terrible natural enemies.
Therefore, in The Mer-peoples eyes, it is self-evident that the feathers that can stop them being attacked by Jiu Feng can be avoided. Who wouldn't want to relax completely on the water or on the shore without worrying about a sudden attack from the sky? And Jiu Feng is still just a young bird. When it grows up, it can make the Qingyuan Lake experience water tsunamis by creating huge wave with the wind from its wings. When it can directly swim into deep water, how important is this feather?
Nuo Ma wants that feather, but she can't, because she had to use her own values??to measure the weight of the feather, which naturally feels too expensive.
However, Yan Mo has taken out the feathers and naturally will not take it back. He is in a tug of war with The Mer-people, and an impatient voice was coming behind him: "He is giving it to you, its not a broken feather. If you are feeling like it too precious an exchange then, take Yan Mo to the islands in your lake and he wants to play there for a long time."
Who said that I am going to play? However, this statement can dispel the vigilance from The Mer-people, and Yan Mo has no rebuttal. By the way, when did this guy come back?
Luo Meng discussed with The Mer-people and agreed with Yuan Zhan's proposal.
Nuo Ma took the black feathers very seriously and solemnly. She would put the feathers into her hair and carry it with her. Other The Mer-people are inevitably envious of her, is this a blessing in disguise?
The Mer-peoples and Luo Meng looked at Yan Mo he thought they wanted a few Jiu Feng feathers, he was thinking about hanging their appetite, so that the other party can pay more, or give his a little sweet deal in exchange, so that they can help him any request later.
Luo Meng finally asked: "When will this river be available?"
Yan Mo paused and replied: "Now I have dug halfway, Ah-Zhan was digging from the middle to the south, to the north there is nothing moving at all, plus the time of reinforcement, at least three months or more."
Yuan Zhan wanted to say that it will not take so long, but when he wanted to talk he swallowed back.
Luo Meng, Dai Wen and other The Mer-people look at each other."Maybe we can help you."
"Yes, anyway, our Leader agrees."
"When we dig, the water will flow along with it, when we just let Yuan Zhan help to block the head, and we can get the water back to the lake. Will it be much faster to dig together?"
Yan Mo did not respond immediately, but he looked at Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan has the help of labor, and he was thankful to ask people directly. For example, the river should be dug to a depth of ten meters. The river walls on both sides should be as vertical as possible. The width of the river should be 60 meters.
The Mer-people don't understand these terminology and measurement units, and Yuan Zhan had to give people a wide-ranging knowledge and let The Mer-people convert them into a way they can understand.
"Is it the deeper and wider the better?"
"Yes." Yuan Zhan seems to be screaming: "The river is dug deep and dug wide. If you are comfortable in it, and you can use it to come to the tribe. You can also dig the river in our tribal territory with the permission from me and Yan Mo."
"Really?" Luo Meng's eyes lit up. If this is the case, they can also have more exchanges with the Jiu Yuan tribe, and there will be little more water in the Jiu Yuan tribe for their own use. There is no harm to The Mer-people..
"Yeah. But I can't dig now your chief has to agree with it."
"That is natural." Luo Meng and The Mer-people were again awkward."Let's go back and talk about this with the Tribe Chief, if Tribe The Chief agrees, I think The Long-Tail Mer-people will be happy to help you dig the river together."
Some people at the venue and The Mer-people were very happy, things have not only deteriorated, but they have been solved perfectly, and everyone has made this gain, but more familiar, some strange feelings and politeness were lost before.
Not to mention the benefits of today's refinement are for the Jiu Yuan tribe and the later period of The Mer-people, and said that Yan Mo said something to Yuan Zhan after returning that night.
"There are no rules, no rules. Institutions, regulations. If the tribe wants to be strong, there must be various clear rules, so that everyone can abide by it. Today's things are likely to happen again in the future."
Yuan Zhan knows Yan Mo said What is the matter, he thinks that this is not a problem at all."Don't you want to touch The Mer-people?"
Yan Mo immediately blocked him: "Do you want to touch people?"
Yuan Zhan looked at Yan Mo, does his Jiu Yuan Priest not want him to touch others? Well, he is the same, how can his Priest Da Ren feel free to touch others? He can but others can't touch him casually!
Yuan Zhan immediately changed his expression and said seriously: "You are right, this kind of thing must be banned!"
But writing and enacting legal provisions is not a simple matter. Yan Mo did not intend to come up with a code that goes beyond the current stage of development, but some things do require explicit provisions.
According to the awards and punishments of Yuan Ji Tribe, the last two people combined with the ideas from?Yan Mo, after six days of finishing and production, Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan gathered all the people at noon on the seventh day, and issued the first Nine Rules of the Jiu Yuan tribe on the spot.
First Rule, the establishment of a ruling group led by the Tribe Leader, Priest and the Tribe Council. The Tribe Council may be directly named by Leader and Priest, or may be recommended by the tribe, at least the council should not be less than two, and there shall be no more than ten.
In the future, if the tribe has an undecided or unlawful thing happening, it will be handed over to the adjudication panel for a ruling. Leader has the final decision and The Priest has the right to award. That is, Yuan Zhan can finally determine the sinner's crime and whether he is guilty, and Yan Mo decides what kind of punishment for the sinner. The reward is the same.
Second Rule, the marriage system was announced, stipulating that close relatives are not allowed to marry each other, 16 years old and above can be married, and there will monogamy.
Third Rule, the concept of family is required to require parents to raise children, and children must support parents, adoptive parents and raise children together.
Fourth Rule, it is proposed to allow private property and labor to exchange fir compensation.
Fifth Rule, proposal of a fair trading system based on barter.
Sixth Rule, clarification the sin of betrayal, murder, wounding, theft, robbery, rape, insult, fraud, obituary, jealousy, and prohibiting people from living.
Seventh Rule, the education system is proposed to clearly stipulate that children over the age of six must receive education, and children over the age of 12 must receive training to be warriors.
Eighth Rule, the introduction of a system of support, the rule clearly stipulates that warriors who have lost their ability to hunt or fight, children who can not be raised by their parents, and those who are not cared for will be jointly supported by the tribes and prohibited from abandoning.
Ninth Rule, a reward system is proposed to encourage the inventors to invent and discover, to reward labor, learn from the best, and contribute to the tribe.
There are a lot of content in the Nine Rules.
Written by Yan Mo, it was portrayed by Yuan Zhan as a monument, and after the engraving, the huge stone carved by Yuan Zhan ability in the center of the tribe.
The front of the monument is the general rule, and the back is the explanation of the rule.
Later, the tribe developed better laws and regulations with the development, but this initial stone monument has been standing on this land. Although it has changed several times because of the size of the tribe's territory and the war, it has not disappeared, even after this land was called the ancestor tribe called Jiu Yuan.
They didn't say much afterwards, and said that when these rules came out, there was a great uproar in the tribe.
Although The Awu Tribe doesn't know much about the rules the ones that are understandable are enough to shock them.
But this shock is more of joy, not rejection and resentment.
In particular, in the eighth rule which says, the elderly, children and those who have lost their ability to live will not only be abandoned or eaten, but also allow the tribe to be responsible for feeding, which makes each of The Awu Tribe quickly have a deep sense of affiliation to the tribe.
Others don't believe, "Is this true?"
"Priest Da Ren is all true!" This is Yan Mo's staunch support.
"It won't be fake, The Chief has engraved on the stone!" This one the hardcore fan of Yuan Zhan.
"What does it mean to pay for the... compensation?"
"Hey? This we can ask Wu Chen, Wu Chen!"
The Awu Tribe still needs a period of time to understand and accept these rules. Yan Mo is not in a hurry. Anyone who has a bad eye and a broken brain will know that these Nine Rules are good for all the tribes who want to live well.
What's more interesting is that the most popular thing for The Awu Tribe during this time is to be given a name
Yan Mo asked Wu Chen, Ye Xing, and Sa Yu to to count the names, genders, ages, strengths, and relationships in the tribal population and everyone, and every Awu Tribe member racked their brains to make his name slate and everyone wanted to have a name.
Ye Xing is Big Eyes, and Sa Yu is Bear-ish Child Sa. Since the two found that Wu Chen had a name, they have been peeking at Yan Mo with a very resentful look, and Sa Yu has become more diligent. Yan Mo felt it was funny, just when he praised two people, he gave them names as a reward.
Because of the presence of the three disciples, Yan Mo simply took the names of the three classes he taught.
It's funny to say that the parents or relatives of these children are trying to add their surnames to themselves. If the children are personally named by Priest Da Ren, they will simply use the child's surname as their own surname.
Yan Mo didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He didn't let The Awu Tribe members use their tribe surname Wu. He gave the children twelve different surnames, plus some strange or strange names added by others or indiscriminately or seriously. A small Awu family, all sixty-one, but they had nineteen surnames.
The Old Tribe Priest and his disciples and The Awu Tribe Chief also asked Yan Mo to help him. Yan Mo readily agreed that The Old Tribe Priest was called Wu Cheng, his disciple was Wu Qing, and The Awu Tribe Chief was Mu Zheng Ming.
Yan Mo was calculating the time of day every day.
From the first snowfall, it was the first day of winter. Today, he has drawn thirty positive characters, that is, a full hundred and fifty days. According to the thirty days monthly rule here, it is already calculated they have been here for the past five months.
Half a month ago, Yuan Zhan told him that he smelled the spring air. Then yesterday, he found the tender grass tip that emerged from the ground outside the tent. Although the weather was still cold and windy, spring has really arrived.
Now, with the help of The Mer-people, Yuan Zhan has not only completed the huge project of the outer moat, but even the inner moat has been completed.
And because of the strong support of The Mer-people, The Mer-peopleLeader sent 800 warriors to help, and the result was the most which wad originally set to be 10 meters deep and 60 meters wide. The outer moat became 30 meters deep and the river was the widest. Nearly 150 meters of river flow.
Even the inner wall moat reached 15 meters deep and 50 meters wide.
On the day when the inner and outer moats were able to connect with Qingyuan Lake, all the Jiu Yuan tribes and a large number of The Mer-people ran out to see
Yan Mo thought that the Mer-people Leader Hai Sen or their Priest would come at least one day, but neither of the two Da Rens came.
Yan Mo knows that the Jiu Yuan tribe is not strong enough to allow the two to come out to see them. Hai Sen is the Tribe Chief who is willing to send the Mer-people warriors to help the river, but it is more beneficial to The Mer-people.
It doesn't matter, sooner or later he will make the leaders of the Mer-people family and the Priest face their existence and regard the Jiu Yuan tribe as an equal ally.
During the time when the inner and outer moats were completed, a lot of miscellaneous things happened. For example, Duo Fei came to Yan Mo to propose an independent tent for herself and wanted two young women as helpers.
Yan Mo's answer is simple: "Yes. The tent can be taken as the price of your fur coat. It will let you live for free in the spring for a year. The helper's money and accommodation are all your responsibility, including your own food and water."
"What are you talking about?" Duo Fei suspected she didn't hear well.
"I am talking about fair trade. You don't want to be a slave. Yes, then the kindness that our Leader will save you will have to be calculated separately. As for your accommodation and food during this time, because you provided some services to the warrior Meng, you don't have to pay back."
Duo Fei's expression at this time is like a pure girl who has encountered a professional lady's man who deceives her feelings.
Yan Mo smiled slyly."Your reward is calculated from the last time you rescued The Mer-people, but you have been living free for a few days, and the reward is running out. I was looking for someone to inform you. If you want to continue living in the tribe, you have to start working."
Duo Fei clenched ger fist and tried to restrain herself from doing anything irrational.
"Now let's talk about how you want to pay back the kindness that our Chief saved you, huh?"
Duo Fei felt that her eyes were stunned. How could she think that this Priest looks young and a honest fool? She thought that she had the upper hand because of the power of healing and as a result, the little boy simply played her!
"If you are not willing to pay back the kindness of our Leader and not willing to work to earn food and water, then we can only drive you out of the Horde or sell you to other Tribes. Of course, in order to reduce our losses on you Before leaving, we will take away all the peculiar decorations on your body and all the clothes on your body." Yan Mo looked at himself like a man faced with a big loss.
Duo Fei hates her ability that it was too little. Apart from healing, she can't specify her goal to capture her vitality like her family Priest.
"You can't do this. I know that you are different from those of the barbarians. You should understand how valuable my healing ability is! This ability is unique. No one except my Priest and the individual healers can heal like me!"
"That's not unique." Yan Mo said lazily: "Well, I don't think there is any place to go. There's absolutely no one in the vicinity of the 800-mile radius. The weather is so cold, you only go out. The life that you can exchange to healing will be frozen to death. God has a good life, I can let you stay, but you have to work hard to pay back the grace of our Leader, and pay for the water."
Duo Fei had to bow under the eaves, she is also very clear aware that she will only die after leaving the Jiu Yuan tribe. Even if Yan Mo's conditions are harsh, she has to accept it."You said, how can I repay your Leader's kindness?" The last two words, Duo Fei said while he was biting her teeth.
"As you said, as a healer, your life is really very precious, " Yan Mo affirmed.
Duo Fei, who is praised and recognized for his value, is not happy at all. This person definitely has the following hammer
Yan Mo didn't let her down."I think that your life alone is worth thousands of lives, so you can save a thousand people's lives to pay back our Leader's kindness."
"One thousand people! You tribes have so many people?" Duo Fei couldn't help but scream again, a thousand people, when will she finish repaying it!
"Now, there will always be. We will be reaching a thousand people. Do you think there are fewer thousand people? Then 3, 000 people?" Yan Mo said, "Everyone knows that I am very good at speaking. If you think that three thousand lives are not enough to reflect your Value, although you mention, I must satisfy you!"
"One thousand..."
"What?"
Duo Fei trembled his lips and said: "I feel that a thousand lives are enough to reflect my value."
"Yes, don't be arrogant your healing is unique in fact, I think 10, 000..."
"1000! I beg you!" Duo Fei cried.
Yan Mo rolled his golden needle between his fingers and said warmly: "How come you are crying? Do you feel wronged? Then let me take a median value, you save 5, 000 people..."
"I am not wronged!" Duo Fei almost screamed, " 1000 is enough! Don't force me!"
"I'm forcing you?" Yan Mo's face changed."If you don't want to.... please leave, I will never stop you."
Yes, you will only wait for my ability to loose out The moment I do it, you will take all my Crystal Stones away! Duo Fei would never dared to hand over her Crystal Stones to others, because its her biggest reliance and secrets from the treatment.
"I... I want to stay, please let me stay, I am willing... to treat a thousand people to repay The Chief's kindness, I am willing to use treatment to pay for my own accommodation." Duo Fei had hate in her eyes when she spited out this sentence.
"Don't play tricks, a cure is cure, I am good at medical skills, people are cured, do you have any hands and feet, I can see it at a glance. There are not so many people in the tribe, I didn't ask you to save lives just give people whose limbs need regeneration or curing diseases, healing can be considered as long as you save one life, after you treat every one of them, come to my students Ye Xing told h at once."
"...... know."
Then Duo Fei was temporarily fixed for two days, and Meng came to him.
Yan Mo looked at the other person's expression dissatisfaction and knew why he came to him.
"When the woman is treating others, is she receiving the water from someone else?"
Meng answered, "Yes."
"You tell her that the reward for asking the tribe water is not included in the repayment. I will let Ye Xing ask and record again, and she must treat the five people at least in one month."
"What do you mean?" Meng didn't understand.
"You don't care what I mean, just convey my original words to her."
Meng walked his head and passed the original copy of Yan Mo words to Duo Fei.
Duo Fei first heard that she would be able to treat five people without compensation for one month. She was very happy. When she carefully thought about it, she was suffering a headache
With such a small tribe, if she were to treat five injured people in a month and most of those people will still go to Priest, they will not to come to her!
Without more than five injured and sick people, she has no way to receive remuneration, no remuneration, what is she going to eat and drink? Where else does the firewood for the fire to warm her tent come from? These things, the sinister and vicious Little Priest, asked her to pay made her willing!
She was helpless, Duo Fei can only continue to hang onto Meng.
Although Meng did not understand the incident and the reasons, Duo Fei would accompany him to sleep, as long as he paid a little water and firewood, he was satisfied.
