Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Chapter 299 The Burning Homeland (73)

When Yu Di arrived, he saw Denan standing in front of Talka holding an axe. The two looked at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

There were more than a dozen people lying on the ground beside them, moaning in pain. The doctor was sweating profusely and bandaging them, so busy that his eight hands were not enough.

"Chief Chunan, Chief Talka." Yu Di walked between the two of them and looked up at them, "Let's talk."

Tarka's face was full of anger, and he was unwilling to look away at this moment: "Priest! Someone came to destroy the farmland! This is something that affects the life and death of all of us! The leader of Chunan wants to defend the murderer!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Deminan was also furious. "Who can prove that it was my people who did it? We have to look for food outside all day long and bring it back. What reason is there to do such a thing! Beggar, tell me!"

Among the dozen or so people lying on the ground, a furry hand was raised.

"Yes, leader." Qiu Qi injured his leg and sat up with great effort, "We came back from outside and changed to someone else. We passed by the farmland and wanted to take a look. As a result, these hateful Tinians rushed out and said that we were destroying Their farmland! But we were just passing by!”

"Did you hear that? If your people do something bad on their own, they will blame us! Chief Talka, we Huimo are no longer the tribe we used to be bullied by others!" Denan stomped the ax fiercely. on the ground.

Yu Di frowned slightly.

She recognized the beggar who spoke. When she first came to the tribe, Yu Qian often took her to this old man to ask for snacks.Judging from his temperamental personality, would he lie?
"You are slandering and covering up!" Talka, who rarely kept calm as he listened to their chorus, shouted loudly, "We worry so much about these crops, more carefully than taking care of our own children, how could we possibly do this?" Bad? It’s you who should beat him up!"

He lowered his head and said to Yu Di: "High Priest, you know, everyone is waiting for this batch of crops to mature. At this time, we have hope to survive this winter! He went to the south to shelter the tribesmen from stealing, and even took the lead in the crime. You really Don’t you care about it?!”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Di was forced to express his stance immediately.Talka was afraid that Yu Di would be biased because of her background, so he had to let her characterize the matter in front of everyone.

"You fart!" Deminan pointed at Tarka, "You are the slanderer! Our people came back from the outside after hard work, what evidence do you have that they did it!"

"My people saw it!" Talka faced Nan's ax without flinching, "Efeng! Tell the priest clearly what you saw!"

Only then did Yu Di realize that among the injured was Talka's son.

Efeng stood up with his head covered, his face stained with blood and tears, and said bitterly: "High Priest, I swear to the gods, I saw them entering the farmland! If I lie, I will be punished by the gods. Abandoned, banished into the night for eternity!”

Such a curse can be regarded as a very serious oath.Yu Di knew that E Feng was a very devout person. Because he heard God Xuyi's recognition of him at the altar, he trusted him wholeheartedly. It can even be said that the Tini tribe has always been obedient and obedient, and he owes much of the credit for it. of.

"I can also swear!" Shou Qi suddenly said, "We have no intention of destroying the farmland. If I lie, my soul will be disturbed!"

He was a man with one foot on the threshold of death, how could he curse himself like this?Denan couldn't bear to hear it: "Uncle Chouqi, they have no evidence and can only rely on oaths, but you don't have to do that. I believe the priests will not believe their lies!"

Yu Di tried hard to resist the urge to ruffle his hair: "I understand. Let's take them back to treat their wounds first."

Talka frowned: "Priest, are you trying to fool me?" It's not surprising that he had doubts. It was partly because of his nature, and partly because Yu Di came from an obscure background, so the possibility of partiality was too great.

The Huimo people have relied on Yu Di and Chu Nan to ride on them during this period. If they tolerate it again this time, how can they survive?Who can guarantee that their Tiny will not become the next Jiaoxu?
Yu Di said helplessly: "I don't mean that. Chief Talca, take me to the farmland to see what the current losses are and whether there is any possibility of remediation. Now you all insist on your own opinions and don't trust each other." ...It’s just that no matter what the truth is, these crops are the most important. After we deal with it, we will talk about it.”

This was quite pertinent. Talka had no reason to stop Yu Di for a moment and could only hold back the breath in his chest.

"I'll take you there." He lowered his head and said.

Chu Nan raised his feet and followed him.

Talka is very resistant - he doesn't want to see any Humo people approaching his farmland now...well, except for the high priest.

He also wanted her to judge.

Yu Di felt that Chu Nan was not an unreasonable person, and there might be some misunderstanding.Such a difficult period now is not the time for internal strife. If this matter is not handled well, her mission may be in jeopardy.

The sky was very dark, and the starlight was weak and could not illuminate the ground clearly.Bell Tapir had already smartly brought a wind lantern to illuminate Yu Di.

The damaged area was at the end closest to the spacecraft. It was almost the size of two Chunan. The light green leaves lay in a mess on the ground and were uprooted.

Talka said heartbrokenly to Yu Di: "We discovered the theft of crops some time ago, but not many. I thought it would be better to take more care. You are usually very busy and you are always doing your best for everyone. Please worry, so I can't bear to bother you with this matter. Who would have thought that this would encourage theft? If our people hadn't discovered them today, we don't know how much they would have lost!"

Yu Di squatted on the ground and looked carefully: "Is this area all suppressed?"

"Yes." Talka said, "They were discovered. They panicked and fell to the ground, trampling on such a large area."

Yu Di noticed one of the key questions: "Well, when your people found them, did they see them pulling out seedlings? I see the traces of the fight from here to the place just now, it seems that except for this One place, nothing fell anywhere else.”

Talca was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he said reluctantly: "We probably discovered them before they could pull them out."

"Hmph, you are just slandering us." De Nan said coldly, "Our people are just passing by, so you think they are thieves, but you don't know where the real thieves are."

He paused, and then looked at Talka pointedly: "You concealed this matter from anyone before, so why are you willing to tell me when my people are passing by today?"

Qitong watched the play for a long time and said at this time: "Yes, Talka, don't you have an explanation for this?"
