Chapter 1295 Northeast Asia, the Nivkh Dog Tribe and the Sauron Tribes!

"I want to have a eloquent man who can communicate with the gods of the sky and speak five and a half sentences! I attract him with food and he falls from the sky as graceful as a god! He is a water thrush and can fly up into the sky , can still fall into the water and communicate with all the gods! As long as I feed him with venison and mountain vegetable soup, salmon and mouth-chewing wine, I will let him chirp with joy...haha!

The cheerful sound of the piano sounded again, in the tribe's fire pit, under the moonlit night on the seaside, and in everyone's hearts. As a large coastal tribe, the Hanmarsh tribe prepared abundant food to entertain the brother tribes with the same heritage. The aroma of food and people's laughter filled the entire seaside village like moonlight and tide.

Dried and smoked venison, mountain vegetable soup boiled with green onions, fermented salmon, and uniquely processed chewable fruit wine were all delivered to Zuvarro in clay pots and wooden cans.

Especially for chewing sake, you need to choose a pure Ainu girl, take a bath, pray, brush your teeth with salt and branches, then put the brewing ingredients into your mouth and chew them, then fill the jar bit by bit and ferment. In fact, this is an ancient custom that is widespread from Ainu to Ryukyu, and it also has the meaning of worshiping gods. The girl holding the jar smiled, and after pouring a glass of her own wine for Zuvarro, she blushed inexplicably. She bowed her head like a deer, then stepped aside and continued singing the divine song. The voice was soft and beautiful, like a graceful water blackbird.

"One day, people couldn't find deer when they went up to the mountains to hunt, and they couldn't find fish when they went down to the stream to fish. Hunger spread in the village, but the Deer God and the Fish God turned a blind eye, with only angry expressions."

"So, I fed the water thrush with the last food and sent him to fly to communicate with the god. He was full of arrogance and quickly sent back a reply. The reason why the deer god was angry was that people used rough methods to catch deer. After beating the fish with a stick and peeling it off, the head was thrown away casually. The reason why the fish god was angry was that after people caught the fish, they used rotten wood to beat the fish head. People gain nothing!…”

"I told people all this. In the end, people changed! They shot the deer with bows and arrows, skinned it, and decorated the deer head for worship. The deer returned to the arms of the Deer God with a new headdress. They used fish hooks to fish, decorated the fish bones and enshrined them, so that the fish would return to the fish god with the exquisite wooden hooks..."

"So far, people have learned to respect food and treat the gifts of divine power with a solemn attitude. The Deer God and the Fish God also gave more deer and fish, and there is no more famine..."

"And I have a truly brave Ainu to continue to protect the earth for me. So, I can leave and go to the land of the gods after the old man died. In the end, I left behind my messenger, the water thrush, and returned There is my name, the son of the father-god Okikurumi, the second ancestral god, Ae-Oine..."

The clear singing ends here, and the ancient story also ends. This was another meaningful story that left Zuvalo speechless.

"Respect for food, and the response to doing so... Even if you have the upper hand, just like a hunter and his prey, you must still respect each other and leave a decent ending to the other party? Hmm... interesting, really interesting!..."

While Zuvalo was thinking, he looked in the direction where the singing stopped, and saw the singing girl smiling at him innocently. Then, the girl hugged the "wooden sword"-like harp and left quietly.

"Um?!…"

The girl's smile fell into her eyes, and her back looked like a purple willow. Zuvalo was keenly aware of something, and his heart trembled slightly. He looked at the naive Qiandao Shell with some shame, and then looked at the great chief Beiyu Niquan next to him. The other party smiled, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, but it seemed like he had said everything.

".cough!"

Zuvalo touched his nose and was silent for a while before asking about the previous topic again.

"Dear Chief of the Mire Marsh, the Huatai and Shantao you mentioned before?..."

"Oh! That was many years ago!..."

The chief of the Cold Marsh tribe raised his head, looked at the bright moon, and thought of those days of stormy seas and hunting in the mountains and forests, as if he had returned to a strong and energetic youth.

"Going north from here, crossing the strait, which takes a day and a half of rowing, you can reach Huata. It is a large island with many forests. It is the territory of the Kawakou Kamui, and it is the 'island created by God at the mouth of the river.' Huata has many things. The Inu tribe, especially in the slightly warmer south, has a narrow passage connecting it to the mainland in the west. People have a lot of exchanges, and they also have the same customs of 'bear sacrifice' and 'fish sacrifice'..."

"The Nivkh Mountain Tartars?...Do they have any animals? Like horses or deer..."

"Yes! They claim to be the Nivkh people. They are not many in number, and they seem not to be close to other Shantar people. They are very good at fishing at the mouth of the river, and they are also good hunters...animals...well, they live in a particularly dense area. There are no other animals in the mountains and forests, but there are many dogs, so many dogs! Everyone has three or five dogs, and everyone wears dog skins and eats dog meat..."

"The Nivhe people migrate in the forest, just like wolves and dogs, so some people call them the 'dog tribe'! And those ferocious big dogs will listen to their words and attack prey or enemies. They are especially good at attacking prey or enemies. In the forest, they made a surprise attack with the hunters, making a very quick sneak attack... Therefore, even if there were more powerful Shanta tribes in the west, no one came to trouble the Nifhe people. Those tribes were herders, so they were so dense. I have little interest in the mountains and forests, and I have no interest in fighting with the Nivkh people. After all, the Nivkh people have nothing but a pack of biting dogs, not even a house..."

The chief of the Cold Swamp Department thought for a while and determined that he had never seen the Nivkh people raising horses or deer. But he has also seen tribes that raise horses and deer. Just south of the Nivkh people, the most ferocious fishing and hunting tribes wearing roe deer hats...

"The continent to the west is very big, very long from north to south! The northernmost part of Huatai is the Nivkh people. To the west of them are some tribes that raise cattle and horses, but I don't know what they are called, and they may not have names... Really big tribes All in the south and west…”

"Actually, if you go directly west from here and paddle for about eight or nine days, you can reach the western continent and meet some larger 'forest tribes' who raise horses and deer. Their territory is very wide, and you can From the middle of Huatai, sailing west will take a shorter time, only five or six days. Of course, your big boat has a lot of oars, so it seems to be very fast. Maybe it won't take that long! How was the big ship built?…"

The chief of the Hanmarsh tribe looked at Zuvalo and tried a few words with a smile. Zuvalo laughed and said in an understatement.

"Haha! This is the blessing of the power of the ocean. It is the big tree given to us by the Lord God. It has grown into the shape of a boat! And we only need to cut down the tree and put it in the water, and it will turn into a big boat!..."

"Ah! Such a powerful ocean power! So magical!..."

The chief of the Hanmarsh tribe looked surprised, but he didn't believe it in his heart. He wanted to ask more questions, but Zuvalo told him one story after another about the gods, praising the "powerful ocean and thunder power" in various ways, and constantly urging him to "serve the main god". In the end, the chief of the Hanmarsh tribe was also deceived into half-belief and a little confused. He decisively brought up the topic and continued to talk about the situation on the western continent.

"The continent to the west is very big, as boundless as the sea. There are also many tribes there, scattered like sand on the beach... And the Shanta tribe along the coast is called 'Sauron people', 'people who live in the forest' Tribe'! These people are extremely good at fighting, almost all of them are sharpshooters, and they also occupy vast territories and hunting grounds. Although they also live in the woods, they have horses and some very tall Jurchens specially used for fighting. Horses, and the short Sauron horses that are good at running in the forest... As for cattle, I don't think I've seen them among them, but many tribes have pigs, and there are deer in the north..."

Speaking of this, the chief of the Hanmarsh tribe remembered another dusty past event, and his expression was full of emotion.

"The power of our ancestors! Many, many years ago, the Kazu people in the far south also gave tribal gifts, a lot of rice wine and iron tools, and asked me to get some Jurchen horses from the Shantar people to give them to their famously cruel giants. Chief! Many of the iron spears and knives in the tribe were obtained in this way..."

"At that time, Kazuto was not as ferocious as he is today. Although, as their power grew, their attitude towards the various ministries became worse and worse... They would ask for tribute every year, but in the past they did not ask for much, and they would also give some gifts to the ministries in return. The urgently needed iron tools are somewhat acceptable. But in the past two years, for some reason, they have gone crazy! They actually colluded with the Ishikari tribe, and then the two most powerful tribes joined forces. They desperately collect tribute from other tribes, two or three times a year..."

"I'm afraid Kazuto's chief is old and confused! He ignores the guardianship of the ministries, his greed exceeds the boundaries of the divine power, and he doesn't have any respect for the ministries... Even a hunter must respect every deer, every deer. A fish! ...This kind of coma is like an owl that is too old to see the treetops. I am sure that he is not far away from death! ..."
