The tones of different language systems among big cats seem to be different. The tones of the language system among big cats are more crisp and short, while the language that cubs can usually understand The system contains some overtones and sounds softer and softer.
Although Luo Qiu can understand the cat language spoken by the big cats nowadays, it is still because he is too young and many of the languages taught by Papa Ban and Daddy Ya are only used in ordinary times, and at most they can be expanded Words that will be used in the future.
Therefore, Luo Qiu is still in a state of ignorance about the specific words that the big cats sometimes use in their speech.
But fortunately, Papaban next to him will lower his head when he sees the puzzled expression of the little cheetah cub, and use more easy-to-understand words to translate it into cat language.
Luo Qiu also understood from Papaban's explanation that the so-called two different language systems are actually two Mandarin and local dialects that sound different but actually have the same meaning.
In the tribe, the cats are basically used to speaking the common cat language when they grow up, and they only speak the local cat language when they go back to their own homes. This situation is also common in other tribes, which is convenient for everyone to communicate with each other. There will be no problem of incomprehensible local languages suddenly popping up when visiting for business, or other time when communication is required.
As for the local language, basically a tribe looks the same, so in order to facilitate communication and trade, everyone obeyed the regulations of the Holy Palace, and gradually began to get used to speaking Mandarin outside the doorstep of their daily life.
Luo Qiu blinked, showing a sudden realization expression.
It turned out to be like this, no wonder sometimes I feel like I can understand a few words in the words of the adults, but when everyone speaks too fast, they can't understand again, as if they are listening to a foreign language.
However, Luo Qiu's point was skewed again, and he heard the word "Holy Palace" from Papaban's explanation.
Of course, the little cheetah cubs don’t understand the meaning of the new word “Sacred Palace”, so Papaban roughly explained that the so-called “Sacred Palace” is a political culture and power center in Pavo Continent similar to Beijing on Earth, but But it has religious overtones. Those in power uniformly claim to be a group of priests who enshrine the beast god and monitor the world for the beast god on the mainland.
Luo Qiu frowned, and couldn't help but flash through the chaotic history of Western religions that he had learned on the earth. Under the highly developed art pavilions was rotten soil. As a layman, he often heard the students from the next-door college say Feeling the fertile artistic soil of the West, while cursing the cruel and bloody history of the other side.
So if we only talk about religious rule, Luo Qiu's first impression of the "Holy Palace" is not very good.
However, the little cheetah cub stared and thought for a while, and Papaban's subsequent explanation made Luo Qiu feel that it wasn't that bad.
Listening to Papaban's simple mention of a few historical facts about the Holy Palace, Luo Qiu sounds a little like the shadow of the Qin Dynasty on Earth, but the tribal culture in this world is still relatively loose, and the power of the Holy Palace is not like that of Luo Qiu. At first, Qiu guessed that it was as big as Western religions, and that the so-called ruling priests might be overthrown by the people at any time.
If it looks so simple, it really looks like a combination of Chinese and Western.
These complicated things Papaban just clicked a few words, and Luo Qiu was just because after learning the history of the earth, he couldn't help but diverge his thinking and use history as a mirror to associate some things. This is also his country on the earth. A very good thinking result under education.
Papaban mentioned a few more words about the economic and cultural prosperity of the Holy Palace, and then mentioned that every few years, tribes from all over the continent would send representatives to the Holy Palace to "worship the gods".
This is a brand new word, but it may be because it is too far away from the cub, so the word Papaban has not been explained.
In short, after understanding the language, he turned to the holy palace in the distance. The other cats did not interrupt Papa Ban to explain the knowledge to the curious cubs, and patiently waited until Ban finished talking before starting to talk about the things between them.
Then listening, Luo Qiu's furry little face showed a wrinkled expression as if he was listening to strange words.
There is no other reason, the whole thing between adults still revolves around the matter of "cubs can heal broken legs", but the next branch makes Luo Qiu puzzled.
It is true that the soul and the world do not match, so the way of thinking is also different. Luo Qiu was half-embraced and half-closed by the neighbor uncle, sitting in front of the table, raised his head and pressed his paws on the edge of the table, listening It can be said that when you stop and want to speak, you want to speak but stop.
First of all, the most shocking thing that makes Luo Qiu not mention other things is that the matter of broken legs and disability is actually the default of everyone.
It means that the silver-haired old man sitting in front of the table in front of him probably assumed the duties of "politics/commissioner and doctor" in the tribe, that is, the "witch" in the tribe in ancient times, so this person proposed a modern People seem to be a little shocked but silently violent——
Even if he knew how to treat a broken leg, this witch named Kanxi would not tell the tribe who was injured by the broken leg.
Because the war is regarded as a "trial of the beast god", in the process of the trial, whether life or death is the result of destiny, that is to say, minor injuries can be cured, but serious injuries must die.
This is a decent and beautiful statement, but the actual reason is that the development of the tribe cannot accommodate too many orcs. Even if the hunting team hunts day and night, there is no way to feed the entire tribe, so war is the only way to consume the population. Quick and effective, and like a gamble, half of the way may make the tribe more powerful.
Therefore, in order to reduce the population, during the trial of the war, those orcs who were seriously injured were eliminated by default, and they were only given spiritual support and some herbal medicine.
And those herbal medicines often don't have any hemostatic or other effects. Most of them are just mixed with a lot of analgesic effects. When used, they will only reduce the pain of those who are seriously injured and losers in the trials of war. passed away.
A broken leg is also a type of serious injury for a trial loser, so Papaban was so angry after being diagnosed by the witch.
After all, from the victim's point of view, Beast God and Wu Tongtong are useless waste.
In the tribal war, Nuo Ke was also injured by a broken leg. The neighbor uncle, the big tiger, was also deemed not to be able to live because of the broken leg. The foot of the mountain was originally just the most marginal position of the periodic guardian tribe.
Of course, even if Nuo Ke broke his leg, he should not be underestimated. He was a little disheartened and quietly packed his bags and went down the mountain.
This once extremely strong tiger would also look at the moon in the middle of the night and quietly think about why he was abandoned by the beast god, and if there really was a beast god, why would he watch his people suffer so much.
As the adults' conversations gradually unfolded, the atmosphere in the big wooden house was somewhat silent and slightly depressed.
And after Luo Qiu first heard this explanation, he felt sorry for his father's teeth and the neighbor's uncle, and then almost crushed his small teeth, which were as big as rice grains, in shock.
The little cheetah cubs who have been educated under the red flag and have human souls can't understand this kind of explanation, which is clearly the incompetence of those in power. Only incompetent rulers will push the disasters that they cannot save and change to the illusory gods. No matter how difficult it is, the real leader will lead everyone at the forefront like a banner, clenching his teeth and defending everyone's living. right.
The little cheetah cub was puzzled, and even began to put its paws on the edge of the wooden table, questioning in a tender voice with the same momentum.
"Chick Chick! Chick Chick!" But if this system is followed, although it is very likely that the kind of thing you said will happen after the victory, there will be a lot of supplies to feed the tribe, but who Can you guarantee that the Horde will always win? And if the defeated tribe doesn't treat the seriously injured who are desperately fighting for the tribe, more and more powerful combat forces will be eliminated before they grow up!
Cats are not born to fight, they always have to go through several pains to learn!
And after this cycle goes on and on, isn't there only old, weak, sick and children left in the tribe!
And even if those injured can't return to the battlefield again, they can still be guarded in the tribe to protect other cats as experienced cats during the war?
The questioning voice of the little cheetah cub reverberated in the big wooden house. All the big cats present did not stop them, but just looked at them with strange eyes, but there seemed to be more helpless emotions inside.
Although Luo Qiu said that the logic was not very clear, but the silver-haired witch on the opposite side of the wooden table seemed to have faced this kind of problem countless times over the years, wearing a pair of slightly bright but not overly clear aquamarine His eyes contained the little guy's questioning, and he let out a long sigh after the other party finished speaking.
"I guess I know what you mean, Cho, and I'm glad you've got some great vision at such a young age, you're a bright cub."
The talking witch put his withered hands on the wooden stake, and Mosuo touched the edge of the wooden table. When he stared at the opponent's short body, his emerald green eyes were filled with a thickness that many other cats could not understand. Feeling emotional, he licked his somewhat dry lips, and continued to speak.
"What you said is indeed very reasonable. I used to agree with it very much. Like you, I will make a childish and vigorous cry in this room. But Qiu, every decision that seems harsh and unreasonable Underneath, there are many karma and bloody lessons buried.”
The witch, who was no longer considered a mature man, patiently explained his point of view to the young debater in front of him in as gentle and long a tone as possible.
There seemed to be a bitter winter wind blowing outside the window of the wooden house. The rustling sound of the straw curtains being blown up was mixed with the sound of the black tiger outside the house reluctance to tinkle and repair the fence. Injured Nuo Ke, the neighbor uncle, the big tiger was also determined not to be able to live because of a broken leg, and was expelled from the rights of the tribe. s position.
Of course, even if Nuo Ke broke his leg, he should not be underestimated. He was a little disheartened and quietly packed his bags and went down the mountain.
This once extremely strong tiger would also look at the moon in the middle of the night and quietly think about why he was abandoned by the beast god, and if there really was a beast god, why would he watch his people suffer so much.
