"What's wrong?" Yining stood up and asked Mu Kun.

Mu Kun didn't answer, at this moment his face was stern, like a layer of autumn frost had condensed, revealing an icy chill.

"It was the witch who rang the commandment bell." Mu Yu was still holding the mutton ribs that he was eating happily, and he forgot to chew at the moment, his little face was full of horror. Hearing Yining's question, he timidly said timidly.

"Witch? Commandment bell?" Yining was puzzled. In the stories and film and television works he came into contact with in his previous life, witch was basically synonymous with bad. , The so-called wizards and witches are almost the embodiment of evil.

In fact, in ancient China, witchcraft was a legitimate and noble profession, performing duties such as sacrifice, worship, medicine, divination, and calculation.After Yining passed through, he was told that his future would be to serve as a priest in a certain ethnic group, so he always thought that after he went, he should assume the role of a witch.

But now, there are witches in the Mu clan?

Then what are you?What I am most afraid of when doing things is unclear authority!

Moreover, when the so-called commandment bell rang, the expressions of all the people present became like this. Even Mu Kun, the supreme leader of the tribe, turned cold, as serious as hearing that his wife had stolen someone, with a constipated look on his face, presumably This commandment bell has not brought you good news in the past, has it?

So Wu, who is qualified to ring the commandment bell, probably has a hard image of being positive and sunny.

Yining seems to understand why he has been in contact with Mu Kun for so long, and he has learned a lot about the Mu clan in the usual chats, but no one has told him about the witches.

While his thoughts were turning, Mu Kun had already wiped the oil-stained knife on his clothes casually, put it in his bosom, pulled out the meat skewer in Yining's hand and threw it aside, holding his wrist, The clansmen who looked around him said: "The commandment bell is ringing, the witch is calling us, let's all go and have a look."

After speaking, he dragged Yining to the front.

Yi Ning's lips moved, but he still didn't make a sound after he endured it. The patriarch said, can you stop putting away the knife and take it for granted, okay?That's my knife!

The houses here are basically facing south, or facing east, and they are concentrated on the gentle hillside next to the river bank. Mu Kun led everyone through the whole village and went to the northernmost point, which is close to the jungle. On the edge of the forest, there are many trees, and from time to time you can see small animals running past with a "whoosh".

From a long distance, Yining saw a golden metal product hanging on a not very tall tree, shaped like an upside-down bowl, as tall as a child, and the stone under the clock There is a wooden stick on the table.

This should be the commandment bell in everyone's mouth.

Beside the commandment bell, there is an ordinary stone house. At this moment, in front of the stone house, there is a man and a woman kneeling. A sackcloth dress, hair braided into many small braids, long hair dotted with flowers - isn't this one of the girls who just danced at the bonfire party?Why are you kneeling here in just a short while?

And looking at this posture, they don't look like brothers and sisters, do they?So the current plot is... cheating?

At the door of the stone house, an old man was sitting, a very, very old man, with white hair and beard, and wrinkles on his face like dried walnut skin.But even at this old age, the old man's back is still straight and straight, there is no hunchback at all, his slack eyelids are drooping, and there is a Bayeux book between his hands, sitting there like a statue. Silent stone statue.

The footsteps of hundreds of people were not small in the silent night sky, but the old man didn't even move his eyelids.

Either the old man is deaf, or his status is detached enough for him to make such a move.

When they were about ten meters away from the stone house, everyone stopped in a tacit understanding. Mu Kun let go of Yining's hand and went forward alone. He put his hand on his chest and saluted the old man. Respectfully call him "Witch".

The patriarch's face, the witch still has to give, the old man finally opened his eyes, picked up the crutch made of old tree roots beside the stool, and stood up.

"Patriarch, clansmen, you are all here." The old man didn't look at Yining at all, did he really treat him as an ordinary clansman or... sever his power?

Yining raised his eyebrows. He always believed that the highest status of the Mu clan should be the patriarch, and then the priest. Now there is a witch, which is really interesting.

With a wave of crutches, the old man pointed at the shivering girl on the ground and the man with his head down, unable to see his face clearly: "You two talk for yourself, and don't say that my old man wronged you."

The girl began to sob softly. Under the thin linen dress, some immature shoulders trembled like frightened butterflies, but she just kept crying without saying a word.

A surprised cry suddenly came from the crowd: "A Duo?"

A woman in her 40s ran out, turned the girl's shoulders, and hugged her with just one glance: "A Duo, it's really you! What's wrong? Get up..."

The soft sobbing of the girl named A Duo immediately turned into howling, and she buried her head in the woman's arms.

Mu Kun snorted coldly, walked over and kicked the kneeling man over, grabbed his hair so that everyone could see his face clearly, the clansmen looked at each other and shook their heads, they didn't know this man people.

However, Yining heard a small "ah" from Mu Yu who had been closely following him.

Heartbroken, Yining leaned down slightly, and put his lips close to his ear: "You know him?"

Mu Yu bit her lower lip, and said in a volume that only two people could hear: "I've seen this man before, he was in the woods with Sister A Duo..."

Yining covered his mouth, not to say anything inappropriate for children.

Mu Kun said coldly: "If you dare to seduce a girl from my Mu clan, if you are a man, you can say it yourself! Why, do you want the girl to tell me who you are?"

Yining couldn't help grinning, neither of them said a word, why did Mu Kun think that he was having an affair?Don't be so arbitrary as the patriarch, okay...

Before he finished complaining, he heard Mu Yu say quietly: "The patriarch also saw it that day, and the patriarch told me not to tell others."

Yining: "...".

The man looked very straight, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wasp waist and ape arms, and the muscles on his arms were bulging one by one, and his strength was not weak at first glance.

He stubbornly pursed his lips and did not speak. When he heard Mu Kun's words, he glanced at the weeping A Duo, struggled, and roared angrily while struggling: "I didn't seduce A Duo, we are willing, I want Stay with her!"

He was very strong, and Mu Kun's hand that was holding onto his hair was suddenly freed by him. The man wanted to stand up, but at the next moment, he didn't know how Mu Kun twisted the man's arm behind his back. Her knees pressed down on his waist and eyes, and pressed his entire chest to the ground, holding him tightly.

"Be honest, do you still want to play with your 'ape' prestige when you come to my Mu clan's territory? Do you think I don't know that you and A Duo secretly come and go? It's just because you are the younger brother of the Patriarch of the Baishui clan that I opened my eyes." Turn one eye and close one eye, as you, I think you should understand the rules! Who would have thought that you would get worse after not seeing each other for a few months! Still want to marry A Duo? Huh?" Mu Kun's tone sounded very uncomfortable. good.

"Yes, I just want to marry her!" Half of the man's face was stuck to the stone floor, and he almost sucked in half of the sand with his mouth open, like a wounded and restrained beast, he was still struggling and roaring: " As long as I, Bai Yuan, live, I will be with A Duo for the rest of my life! None of you can stop me! A Duo...A Duo...don't cry, A Duo, I will definitely marry you..."

Suddenly, there were a few gasps from the quiet crowd around, mixed with some unbelievable exclamations.

"It's Bai Yuan!"

"Bai Yuan, the 'ape' in the forest of the Baishui tribe!"

"Yes, that's him. I heard that he is like at home in the jungle. He can jump from one tree to another, and he can pick the fruit on the highest branch..."

"Well, he can also pick honey..."

Yining's heart skipped a beat, honey...

Mu Kun suddenly stretched out his hand twice, let go of his hand and stood up, the man let out a sharp cry of pain, and lay still.

Yining opened his eyes wide and didn't see anything wrong, so he asked a person standing next to him: "What's wrong with him?"

"The patriarch removed his arm." The man said lightly.

Yining: "..." Mu Kun, you are ruthless!

"Wu, what do you mean?" Mu Kun walked up to the old man and asked respectfully.A Duo, who was crying, and Bai Yuan, who was constantly groaning because of the pain, stopped their movements instantly, listened attentively, and everyone present also fell silent.

"Since you have violated the clan rules, let's deal with them according to the clan rules." Wu said lightly.

A soft sentence seemed like a sharp knife slashing at the head. The man whose arms had been removed got some strength from where he struggled to half-kneel, and A Duo even worse, fainted directly.

Are you going to be burned to death?Or thrown into the river and drowned?Seeing the intensity of the two people's reactions, Yining had already thought about the tortures at the [-]th National Congress of the Qing Dynasty in his mind.

"Hey, how do the family rules deal with such a thing?" Yining nudged the person next to him with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

"The two are separated and cannot meet again for life."

"Ah, that's not too cruel a punishment, isn't it necessary?" Yining was very ashamed to find that he was a little disappointed.

"No, I must marry A Duo! A Duo...A Duo...has my child!"

The person beside him sighed, and before Yining could send another message, he said quietly: "If a woman is pregnant and no one marries her, she will be kicked out of the clan, and A Duo will never come back for the rest of her life."

"It's not a good time to drive out, that Bai Yuan just happened to marry her."

"A man who impregnates a woman from another clan will also be kicked out. This is the common clan agreement of these clans. Living in the jungle, even Bai Yuan, with a pregnant woman... Sigh ..."

Before he finished speaking, Yining already understood the meaning of that sigh.

If you drive them out, you will kill these two people.
