960 Bear Sacrifice
Ishihara Masanobu said with a smile: "The ancestors of our Yamato nation rowed a small boat as early as the Asuka period, broke through the waves, hunted whales on the vast sea, and went through the Nara, Heian, Kamakura, and Edo periods, until today, and never stopped, this is our big culture is different from your Chinese culture, our culture is the sea is the core, and your culture is the land is the core, one is brave and enterprising, and the other follows the rules."
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "These are all fallacies that are not worth refuting at all, I might as well take this opportunity to lead the topic to the Ainu people." So Lin Yuan said: "Our Chinese culture is willing to tolerate and absorb all kinds of cultures, just as we have an old Chinese saying: the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great!" And your big culture is not tolerant enough. ”
Ishihara Masanobu was a little displeased when he heard this, and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Let me give you an example, Hokkaido under your rule was originally not a place of the Yamato nation, I don't know if I am right?" ”
This sentence just poked at the sore spot of Ishihara Masanobu, the aborigines of Hokkaido are indeed not the Yamato people, but the Ainu people, Ishihara Masanobu said with a bitter face: "That's right, our Yamato people came to live on the island later. ”
Lin Yuan said: "The same is true of the Thousand Islands, the Ainu are the aborigines here, and after you come, you won't let them fish and gather......
Without waiting for Lin Yuan to finish speaking, Ishihara Masanobu hurriedly said, "Is there anything wrong with this?" Didn't you also gather the herders in Mongolia and stop them from living a nomadic life? ”
Lin Yuan was interrupted by him but didn't get angry, but smiled: "But we didn't force them to learn Chinese?" did not force them to wear Han clothes, let alone force them to give up their original names and start Chinese names again. ”
These things are all done by the Japanese to the Ainu people, Ishihara Masanobu was said by Lin Yuan, and suddenly felt that his face was dull, and he didn't know what to say, at this time Aoda Ichiro hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin Yuan doesn't know, we let them change to Japanese, change to wear kimonos, and change their Japanese names for their good!" ”
"We Japanese merchants brought a lot of goods to them, and they learned Japanese to exchange trade. Their original clothes were not warm, so it was better to change to a kimono; The Japanese name was also used to make it easier for us to manage, and besides, we also kept our own culture for them, so you can go to the Ainu people and see that many things are still the same as before. ”
Lin Yuan sneered in his heart: "It's really a clever tongue, you can really find an excuse for yourself!" Didn't you say that the culture of the Ainu people was preserved? Then I'm going to give you a big problem. Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said: "Do you know the 'bear sacrifice' of the Ainu people? ”
Ichiro Aoki said, "Of course, we know that the 'bear festival' is the biggest festival of the Ainu people, and before the bear festival, the Ainu people will catch a cub, raise it, and then kill the grown bear at the bear festival, eat the bear's flesh, and drink the bear's blood to sacrifice all things. ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Since this bear festival is their grandest festival, I don't know if you have reserved it for them, if not, why talk about preserving their culture?" ”
Aoki Ichiro and Ishihara Masanobu suddenly had a difficult face when they heard it, because this "bear sacrifice" needed a big bear, the Japanese felt that this matter was too troublesome and dangerous, so it had already been scrapped, but today it was forced here by Lin Yuan's words, and Ishihara Masanobu had a good face, so he said hard: "Of course I keep it!" ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Well, as far as I know, ten days later will be the day of the bear sacrifice, and I will come to watch the ceremony then!" ”
Ishihara Masanobu nodded heavily and said, "Okay, in ten days, we will hold a bear festival, and I will also watch the ceremony in person at that time!" ”
Lin Yuan took a sip of sake lightly and thought, "It seems that my plan can be placed on the day of the bear festival!" Lin Yuan made up his mind and said loudly: "Good wine!" ”
The three of them talked about some irrelevant gossip, Lin Yuan got up to say goodbye, and as soon as Lin Yuan left, Aoki Ichiro said to Ishihara Masanobu with a sad face: "Senior, are we really going to perform a bear sacrifice?" The Ainu bear sacrifice has to raise a cub, so where do we find it? Even if you find it, how can you grow it in ten days? ”
Ishihara Masanobu said fiercely: "Find a circus from China and buy one!" On the day of the bear festival, I informed domestic reporters that I would make a good fuss about this matter, and I would say how friendly the Yamato people and the Ainu people were! ”
The Japanese don't care how Lin Yuan comes, he walked to the post house when he came out of the county governor's office, the place on the island is not big, so the market is not very lively, and the people coming and going are sparse, Lin Yuan walked and suddenly looked at a man standing behind a stall buying needlework and thread, the man was holding a needle and thread in his hand, as if he was choosing, Lin Yuan looked funny, and thought: "Such a big man is actually fiddling with needlework and thread." ”
But soon Lin Yuan noticed that something was wrong with this man, because his eyes were always looking ahead, as if he was looking at the person in front of him, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This man should be following someone, right?" Who is he stalking? Lin Yuan looked ahead while thinking, and saw a short black man sitting on a stall in front of him, Lin Yuan could see at a glance that that person was Da Hei.
Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought, "Could it be that the person this man is following is Da Hei?" Did the Japanese think that I was not a good person and started spying on the people who came with me? Thinking of this, Lin Yuan hurriedly walked up to Da Hei, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for him to go back to the post house with him.
Da Hei hurriedly stood up and followed Lin Yuan, and when he returned to the post house, with Zhang Yang as a translator, Lin Yuan asked, "What are you doing when you go out?" ”
"I haven't been back for a long time, and I really want to taste the food of my hometown. ”
Lin Yuan asked, "You didn't go to woo your clansmen, did you?" ”
Da Hei shook his head again and again, Lin Yuan's heart was put down, and he asked again, "Have you noticed that someone is following you?" ”
Da Hei shook his head again, Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "It seems that it is a mistake to let Da Hei pull up the resistance team, this Da Hei is too coarse, he can't do this kind of meticulous work of pulling up the rebels under the nose of the enemy, this matter has to let Wanqing come!" Lin Yuan told Da Hei not to go out for a few days, and then returned to his room.
After Lin Yuan went back, he thought to himself: "Wanqing is definitely coming, I will let her come as a reporter, the Japanese side will definitely not suspect it, I also need a language expert, because Zhang Yang is a woman, it is too inconvenient to take her with her all the time, we are moving under the noses of the enemy, Wanqing alone is definitely not good, so I need to send a few helpers to Wanqing, what reason do I use to bring these helpers?" ”
Lin Yuan was thinking about it, when he heard a noisy footsteps outside, and then the door was slammed open, Lin Yuan looked into the yard, and saw a group of Japanese soldiers with loaded guns rushing in, and instantly surrounded the house, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the house, and the bright bayonet on the gun was glowing with a faint blue light.
Lin Yuan also brought a dozen or so guards, they saw the Japanese soldiers with guns to break in, they also rushed over, pointed the guns in their hands at the Japanese soldiers, Lin Yuan stepped out, and said loudly to the Japanese soldiers: "What's the matter?" Who asked you to come? ”
