Chapter 575 Collective Forgetting
Things that have happened before and appear in human life will become rituals and fixed.
If death never existed in the Moon Tribe, and everyone died and came back to life, then death would disappear from the group.
However, the Yue Tribe has a complete funeral culture, with rituals such as gathering corpses, graves, and memorial ceremonies. The tribe also inherits the concept of death, and in everyone's consciousness, after death, there will be no Alive again.
These signs all show that the tribe was originally a normal people, passed down from generation to generation, instead of like now, everyone seems to be stuck in the same time, living a similar life every day, constantly dying and resurrecting.
Tang Yue asked: "Mu Yu, are there many newborns in the tribe?"
Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, "Yes, the uncle and aunt next door just had a new baby last month. They have a new child, but... I feel like this has happened for a long time. Their child has always been a newborn, and there seems to be something wrong with it."
Mu Yu's expression fell into madness again. "Ah, I don't know...how do I know these things?
Why has the baby next door been raising a newborn baby? I have sent thousands of barrels of goat milk, why hasn't the baby grown yet? Big?"
Tang Yue couldn't help it and patted his head again, "Calm down, I'm just here to solve this problem. Let's talk about it after we go out."
The young man came back to his senses, "Oh... well, let's talk about it when we go out. Are the people in our tribe cursed, so that's why they are like this?"
"I don't know, but if we don't go out, it will be dawn." If we don't, people in the tribe will find us."
After hearing her words, the young man was a little nervous, "We can't let people in the tribe find out that I brought outsiders into the cemetery without permission. Go out... Our door will be closed right now. Get out."
He was very anxious, trotted to the exit, opened the small door, and covered the tomb door after going out to prevent himself from being discovered.
Tang Yue said: "In order to avoid anyone coming, let's go out through the back door." She wanted to see what the entire temple looked like and whether there was anything strange behind it.
"Okay, let's go out through the back door."
Behind the statue is a small aisle with a small bed inside, which may be for the person who guards the temple to sleep.
"Should there be someone guarding the temple?" If there was no one to guard it, there would be no need for this crib.
The young man said: "Yes, it is true that the men in the tribe should take turns guarding the temple. Why was there no one last night? Could it be that someone sneaked back to sleep?
No, this is the case I want to tell the high priest, no one can be lazy.”
Tang Yue found it funny, "If you tell the high priest, isn't it the same as telling him that we secretly came to the temple yesterday? Do you want to be punished by the tribe?"
"I almost forgot, tell him I will It’s over, let’s go out quickly.”
The young man walked out quietly, but Tang Yue looked at his strange movements and did not follow suit. He walked out normally. There was no one nearby and he would not be discovered. .
Back in the house, Tang Yue checked the stone statue first. If there was no problem, she rested in the house. She also wanted to know more things from the young man.
So he lit a fire in the small fire pit in the house, boiled the water, and took out the marinated spirit animal meat and grilled it.
Mu Yu smelled the fragrance and drooled, "God, where did you get such a big piece of meat." The God was thin and small, and the biggest thing he carried on his body was the stone statue. Where can I put down meat comparable to the thighs of wild goats?
Tang Yue said: "I am a god. These are placed in my space, so you can't see them."
"Your magical powers are indeed extremely powerful. Please allow me to show you Kneel down and pay tribute."
She quickly raised her hand to stop the young man, "No, it's not time to worship now. I experience the world as a mortal, so just treat me as an ordinary woman. Okay."
Mu Yu said in surprise: "With your appearance, you can't be an ordinary woman."
What's so surprising about straight men? Tang Yue was expressionless, "Anyway, you don't need to worship me, just help me more."
"Okay...then, can I eat this meat?" He The saliva is already flowing down.
Tang Yue asked: "Is there a plate? This piece of meat is too big and it is inconvenient to eat."
"What is a plate?" Mu Yu's eyes showed innocence and curious. Well, primitive society didn't have that many things, so she took out a wooden plate and a small fork so that Mu Yu could use it too.
She cut off many large pieces of meat, put them on the plate and handed them to the young man.
Mu Yu took it and thanked him: "You are really a kind and kind god. I will definitely enshrine you in the temple in the future."
Tang Yue thought The twisted temple and the tombs in the ground don't look like their own statues were placed there. "No need, I won't say thank you for your kindness. Besides, I didn't help you much, just think of it as me doing good deeds." ."
"How is this possible? I will definitely put you in."
"We will talk about this later. Have you found anything strange in the tribe?"
The young man picked up the plate and ate, "No, you are the best in our tribe. Your hands are so skillful. The surface of this wood is so smooth. Are you a god of craftsmanship?"
"I work with other theologians. The real god of skilled craftsmen is much better than me in skills, so I am nothing.
Don't worry about these, think about whether there is anything strange in the tribe? "
The young man was reluctant to part with the meat in his mouth, and thought as he ate, "Our tribe has always been very good, able to resist foreign enemies and find abundant food."
"The death occurred. The resurrection in the cemetery is not a strange thing?"
Mu Yu looked confused again, "Resurrection? How could someone be resurrected? Did God see it wrong?"
Tang Yue was a little surprised, "Don't you remember what happened when we went to the cemetery together?"
"Yes, we went to the cemetery together, and then... didn't we just look at it and come out? ? You think it’s a bit spooky there, and I said the corpse is nothing to look at.”
“It seems that the cemetery has an influence on you. After leaving the cemetery, you don’t remember what happened.” His memory was erased without even realizing it.
"I remember it all. I haven't forgotten anything. There are indeed only corpses in the cemetery." When Mu Yu said this, he was extremely persistent, as if he was about to enter that kind of mental abnormal state again.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, "Mu Yu, are you at home? I see that the woman you brought home has not left yet. What's going on?"
It was the leader's voice. Mu Yu was embarrassed. Looking at Tang Yue, she said: "Let's go out to meet the leader together."
Seeing her coming out, the leader looked calm, and said angrily: "Why haven't you left yet? Are you pestering her? Mu Yu, if you want him to open his mouth and keep you, I tell you, this is impossible!"
Tang Yue was not angry, "I heard that you wanted to go to a neighboring tribe with Mu Yu. I also want to go there to find out if there are any of my clansmen, but it’s a bit dangerous for me to travel alone. I would like to ask if you can take me with you.”
The leader was very dissatisfied, “You followed us to the neighboring tribe. Will you come back with us again?" If this woman insists on relying on Mu Yu, he doesn't mind killing her secretly.
Such a thin woman has no strength to work or have children. She will only waste the food in the tribe, so we must drive her out as soon as possible.
"I won't do it. You can rest assured." Haha, maybe there will be problems at the tribal gathering place later, and then she won't even beg her to come.
"Okay then, we will set off the day after tomorrow and take you with us, but you have to follow the women in the village to collect fruits and sew animal skins. We don't have idlers here."
" Okay."
After the leader left, Mu Yu looked ashamed at Tang Yue, "How can we let you do things for us?"
Tang Yue smiled calmly, "After receiving so much tribute from you, I should do something for you."
