Chapter 38 It’s All Just a Coincidence
"Okay, I will take Xiaoxiao and leave. After a long silence, Xiao Yan finally spoke up. This time, the people in the tribe did not try to stay, but looked at him with eyes that hated iron.
They would have stayed if they had done anything else, but this matter was related to the survival of their tribe. It was impossible for them to let someone who threatened their safety stay. Even if they lost Xiao Yan because of this, they would not compromise.
Now she can collude with others to extinguish their fire, which may harm everyone in their tribe.
"If you hadn't had to keep her, this wouldn't have happened. Xiao Yan, as long as you leave her now, we can still accept you." An old man said angrily, Xiao Yan was such a good child before, but now he has become After this, it was all her fault. As long as she left, Xiao Yan would be the same as before.
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but his meaning was clear, he would leave together.
"Xiao Yan, are you still defending her now? She doesn't deserve you to be so nice to her." Erya said bitterly, "Can't you still see her true face clearly?" Then she said angrily, "She was sent by the wandering savages to harm us."
Xiao Yan said coldly, "I believe Xiao Xiao, she didn't do this. If you think she did it, then bring out the evidence, otherwise don't frame her casually."
"She is my female and I will naturally believe her. If you don't want to accept her, I won't force it, but that doesn't mean I will watch you slander her innocence."
"I promised to go to other tribes to borrow fire, not because I believe what you said and think this matter has something to do with Xiaoxiao, but because this is the tribe that gave birth to me. Now that the tribe is in trouble, I will naturally not stand by and watch, but that's just This is not because I don’t believe in Xiaoxiao.”
Xiao Yan's tone was calm. He knew what they were thinking. It was just that he had returned from his lost way and saw Xiaoxiao's true face.
Shen Xiaoxiao was very angry when she heard Xiao Yan said that she would help the tribe catch fire. She felt that he just didn't believe her, otherwise why would he do this.
But after hearing Xiao Yan say that he only promised to borrow fire to repay the tribe, and that he had firmly believed in her from beginning to end, the anger in his heart had long since dissipated.
"You said that I colluded with outsiders to extinguish the tribe's fire. Where is the evidence? You brought out the evidence. Who were the witnesses? Who saw it, or did you say that who heard that I conspired with the wandering savages to harm the tribe?"
The scene was silent, and the witch doctor sighed and said, "Xiao Xiao, maybe they are a little too extreme, but this is all a coincidence, isn't it?" It happened that Xiao Yan was about to leave the tribe after she came to the tribe, and it happened that she was kidnapped. When the tribe's fire was extinguished, she failed to gain the tribe's trust.
Yes, it's all such a coincidence. All the coincidences come together, so people will be suspicious.
But why? They were the ones who had the preconception and always thought she had evil intentions and wanted to harm them.
She could leave the tribe, but she would never leave with such great grievances.
Even if she leaves the tribe, she should do so in an upright and clean manner. Instead of them mentioning her with hatred in the future, everyone will say that it is her. This person is very bad. She deliberately sneaked into our tribe and led the people of the tribe astray. And they also joined forces with others to extinguish the fire of our tribe.
She may not have a good reputation, but it must not be such a reputation that will last forever.
If she dares to leave like this today, then she will definitely carry this blame until she leaves this world. Maybe she will be whipped to death after her death. Whoever wants to suffer this kind of grievance, she will never accept it anyway. Such grievance.
"But it's just a coincidence, isn't it? I don't want this to happen. Besides, if I really unite with outsiders to extinguish the fire of the tribe, then why would I come back? If it is true, I I don’t dare to come back.”
The tribesmen whispered.
"What she said makes sense. If she really did it, how could she dare to come back?"
"But who is she?"
"Could it be that it was really blown away by the wind?"
"It's impossible. The fire was extinguished as soon as she came. How could it have nothing to do with her."
"No matter what you say, the fire of the tribe was extinguished because of you." Erya gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for you, we would all be fine now."
The others stared at her with burning eyes, as if to say, "How else do you want to quibble?"
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little helpless and said, "Now that the fire is extinguished, you are angry with me. If the tribe has the fire again, will you let this matter go?"
Erya snorted coldly, "The tribe has fire again? It's easy for you to say. Do you know how difficult it is for us to get this fire?" Others also echoed, "That's right, you think fire can be obtained casually. Is that so? If the beast god hadn’t given it to us, we wouldn’t have any need for it now.”
The beast god gives fire? Shen Xiaoxiao felt like something strange had entered her mind.
"Did the beast god give your fire? How did it give it to you?" Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yan and said, she knew that if she asked other people, they would definitely talk a lot, and she didn't think about getting the answer from them. .
"The beast god will use thunder to give us fire, but sometimes even if there is thunder, there is no fire."
Shen Xiaoxiao had a strange expression. Is this the fire caused by thunder?
"Could it be that the fire was caused by the thunder that struck the dry tree?" Shen Xiaoxiao said uncertainly. She knew that people in this period used fire because the thunder and lightning struck the dry tree and then used fire to keep warm. They started to eat cooked food when they occasionally ate food cooked by fire. Later, they drilled wood to make fire and were able to make fire independently, no longer relying on the fire left by thunder.
She thought they had learned to drill wood to make fire, but it was obviously not the case now. That's right, they are still eating raw meat, and it is normal that they have not invented drilling wood to make fire.
"Well, but the beast god rarely gives us heavenly fire, so we all cherish the fire of the tribe." Xiao Yan nodded. The beast god has not given them heavenly fire for two years, so they cherish the fire left in the tribe. Usually, they will separate the fire in several places for safety, but they didn't expect that they were all extinguished this time.
The witch doctor didn't believe what Shen Xiaoxiao said about letting their tribe have fire again, "Xiao Yan, wait until you borrow the fire, then we can talk about whether you stay or go." In fact, the witch doctor didn't want this to happen. She also knew that other people had no objection to Xiao Yan staying, but the key was that if Shen Xiaoxiao didn't stay, Xiao Yan would leave, too. Now they could only delay it and wait for him to borrow the fire back.
But if she still couldn't let the people of the tribe accept her by then, then she would have to let her leave.
Although Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know the witch doctor's plan, she could also glimpse something from her expression, "Witch doctor, I can help you get fire, you don't have to borrow from other tribes."
Let's not talk about whether you can borrow it, even if someone asked you to light the fire, you don't know how careful you have to be on the way back. If the wind is strong or it rains, the fire will go out, and all the efforts will be in vain.
