The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 44 Indigenous People

A big surprise.

Before coming to Yizhou, Chu Tianxiu never imagined that Chu Zhi could do this.

"Okay, second child, if you can do this, it has completely exceeded my master's expectations.

This time, you can keep one-third of the boat I brought from the Song family in Lingnan, and you can choose the goods on the boat first. This is Master's reward for you.

The stall is so big, it is bound to be difficult for you. If there is any obstacle that you cannot overcome, you can talk to your master, and I will help you solve it as soon as possible. "Chu Tianxiu said with satisfaction.

Those who have meritorious service must be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished.Since Chu Zhi brought such a big surprise to Chu Tianxiu, he would not be stingy in the slightest.

No matter what outrageous conditions Chu Zhi put forward, as long as he dared to ask, Chu Tianxiu would agree.

"On this island, there are not many big problems, but there are many small problems. Whether it is agricultural tools, seeds, boats, ironware, livestock, or other tools, there is a shortage of all of them on this island. These things are very cumbersome and troublesome. But it is still within the scope of my solution. There is only one thing that is really stuck in my throat. Otherwise, the great foundation on this island may be destroyed sooner or later."

Chu Zhi knew the weight of Chu Tianxiu's promise, and naturally he would not let it go easily. He closed his eyes slightly, and after a careful inventory in his mind, he said hastily.

"The biggest problem is actually the local aborigines. Although the local aborigines have a tough temperament and still have the habit of hunting the heads of people from other places, they attacked my camp several times, but I beat them back one by one.

Especially five days ago, a group of monsters suddenly appeared among the indigenous people who stormed the camp. They all had dark skin, long hands and feet, and heavy hair all over their bodies, but they moved extremely fast, like apes.

After several conflicts, our brothers on the island have suffered heavy losses, dozens of them have been lost, and even 'Little Tao Zhu' Wang Ye has suffered misfortune and lost his life. "

Not too unexpected by Chu Tianxiu, the condition Chu Zhi put forward was not for himself, but for the land under his feet, as if he had devoted so much effort to this island that his every move , are all just for the consideration of the foundation on the island.

"That fellow Wang Zhi, although he is not very good-looking, he can be regarded as a second-rate expert at any rate. Normally, dozens of people can't get into them. Could it be that among the aborigines on Yizhou Island, there are also martial arts masters? Is it?" Chu Tianxiu asked in surprise.

The death of a second-rate master is not a big deal, but it seems a little unbelievable to die on this deserted island.

If Chu Tianxiu didn't know Chu Zhi very well, and could almost be regarded as watching him grow up, he would have thought that it was because the two of them disagreed, which made Chu Zhi feel vicious and attacked secretly.

"Masters, that's not enough! If you exclude their ghostly speed and an extremely insidious hidden weapon, their other skills are actually very average. The reason why Brother Wang Zhi died was because he was too careless, which caused him to die. Because of being plotted against. Master, why don't you come with me and take a look at the bodies of those brothers, then you will know."

Chu Zhi mainly studied literature in the past, and he had only practiced boxing for a few days, so he didn't know how to describe the strength of those indigenous people.

After some gestures, he simply took Chu Tianxiu to a large wooden house with a good layout and filled with a strong smell, pointing to the corpse in the wooden house and said.

"Master, look! These are the corpses of the sixteen brothers who died. Fortunately, the weather has been cold these days, and the corpses can still be preserved. Otherwise, a month ago, the corpses of these dozen brothers might have died Sucks.

The most pitiful thing is that those eight brothers, who were not able to live in peace after death, were beheaded and taken away by those savages. It seems that there is also a military decree similar to beheading for meritorious service among them. "

Chu Zhi pointed at the rotten and smelly corpses, with a look of sadness in his eyes, and said in a low voice.

Chu Tianxiu watched these corpses silently, and found that although a small half of these corpses were headless, their death conditions can be roughly divided into two types.

One kind of skeleton is in a very tragic condition, either missing arms or legs, or a lot of flesh has been torn off from the body, it doesn't look like it was injured by humans, but torn by wild animals.

The state of another kind of corpse looks a little strange. Except for the head, their body is basically complete and there is no injury.

The strangest thing was that most of these corpses had heads, so the faces of people including Wang Zhi did not show the slightest bit of pain, but a very peaceful smile appeared on their faces.

The reason why these corpses have no heads is unknown to Chu Zhi, but Chu Tianxiu is clear. The reason why these savages do this is probably not because they know how to march and set rewards and punishments, but because the indigenous savages here are still in the In the period of primitive tribes, there was an extremely barbaric custom - "grass out" and "headhunting".

The aborigines on the islands around the South China Sea advocate martial bravery, respect warriors, and are very superstitious.

They believe that killing a person and cutting off his head as a "trophy" can not only be used as a proof of their bravery, but also bring them good luck and dignity.

Men of these ethnic groups, the standard of adulthood is to be able to hunt back a "head", and they never get tired of it all their lives. They often secretly attack hostile tribes for the simple "headhunting", or ambush innocent passers-by on mountain roads. ".

The heads they hunted back were neatly stacked on the "altar" at the door of their house. Whoever stacked more skulls had a higher social status.

"I've asked my brothers who are good at autopsies to check. The dead brothers are divided into two ways of death. One way is to be torn apart by those savages with brute force, so that there are no bones left. The other way is to die. Hidden weapon." Chu Zhi continued, pointing at the corpses.

"Hidden weapons? The natives also have hidden weapons? I wonder what hidden weapons these brothers have?" Hearing this term, Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but feel a little bit interested, and asked suspiciously.

Chu Zhi went to a stand in the corner of the room, twisted out a wooden bobbin more than a foot long, and five or six very sharp iron needles that were polished, and after showing it to Chu Tianxiu, he said: :
"Two days ago, I accidentally killed a savage. I found this from them. After inspection, I found that these bone needles were poisoned. See which kind of blood seals the throat."
