641. Poseidon servant
Ao Muyang greeted the young man again. No matter what he said, the young man did not respond. He just hugged his knees with his arms and knees, looking at the sea alone.
"He seems to be looking for something?" Jiang Caoqi asked.
Zhong Cang frowned and said, "I think he is a deaf man and can't hear any sound."
"How is this possible?" Ao Muyang shook his head. He approached from behind the young man. The young man immediately turned his head and looked at him, his eyes still very alert.
Looking at the young man, Ao Muyang smiled friendly and said, "Hi, hello, can you understand Chinese?"
The young man looked at him expressionlessly, but still had no response.
Ao Mudong was dissatisfied and said, "What's this thing? Why are you pretending to be cool when Made was rescued by us? To the end of the cold? Grass! If it really doesn't work, throw it back into the sea, let's ignore him!"
He was not angry. If the young people always didn't respond, they would be in a difficult situation. They could not bring the young people back to China, right? At that time, the young people still didn't speak, and they would not be able to enter the customs.
Zhong Cang went to get a bottle of wine, and he said behind the young man: "Hey, buddy, have a drink?"
The young man did not respond and was still looking at Ao Muyang.
Zhong Cang increased his voice: "Brother, look at me here, look-me..."
"Look-at-me, this should be said in English." Ao Wenchang corrected.
The young man still didn't respond.
Zhong Cang stomped his feet hard, and the young man immediately turned around and looked at him.
Seeing this, Zhong Cang said to Ao Muyang: "I guessed that he should be deaf, but he feels very sensitive and can feel the changes in the environment through the vibration of the soles of his feet."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Caoqi slapped his forehead and said, "I understand, the Bayao people, this person is a Bayao people among the nomadic peoples on the sea!"
Ao Mudong wondered: "Bayao people? What kind of ethnic group is this? The father of the Yao people? I just knew the Yao people."
"Your words are to be beaten if the Yao people hear you." Ao Muyang said, "Bayao people, this nation has nothing to do with our country. It is a nation in Southeast Asia. People stay in the sea to catch fish all their lives. They are called the 'Sea Gypsies' and the last marine nomadic people in the world."
Jiang Caoqi nodded and said, "Yes, the word Bayao means 'Son of the Ocean', and it is also translated as 'Sea God servant', while Malaysians call them people on the sea."
"How did you see it?" Ao Muyang asked.
Jiang Caoqi said: "In order to adapt to the underwater environment and to dive better, the Bayao people will actively pierce the eardrums when they are young, and they are all deaf."
Ao Wenchang smiled and shook his head: "Xiao Jiang, what you are talking about is a street stall literature? I read an introduction to the Bayao people when I was in college, but there was no such thing at all. They can speak and sing. The Bayao people have a unique folk song, what is it called, what is it called?"
"iko-iko, an epic folk song of the Bayao people, if you sing it continuously, this song can last for two days and two nights. The lyrics record Bayao's history, including where they have been, what kind of ocean life they have seen, what information the soul of the sea is conveying to them, etc., it is very complicated." Jiang Caoqi followed his words.
Ao Wenchang said: "It seems that it is this, you know a lot about the Bayao people."
Jiang Caoqi said: "When I was an anti-poaching volunteer, the captain was a strange man who traveled all over the world. He had dealt with the Bayao people in the sea. The Bayao people are now divided into two categories. One is the tribe people who have entered the public eye. For example, some people now live on the beach in Indonesia. The government built stilt houses for them and forced them to live ashore."
"There is another type, which is the traditional sea god servants. They will not go ashore. They stay in the sea all their lives, but it will be difficult for them to survive after they get ashore. Just like people on land will get seasick when they take a boat, and they will get dizzy when they get ashore."
Ao Mudong was happy: "Is this still the case?"
Jiang Caoqi smiled and said, "Yes, the servants of the Sea God are the orthodox Bayao people. They pierced their eardrums since childhood."
Zhong Cang handed the bottle of wine to the young man, but the young man did not answer, but took a step back vigilantly.
Jiang Caoqi continued: "In fact, it is not difficult to judge whether he is a Bayao person. There is something very interesting. The public doesn't know, that is, what is the totem creature of the Sea God servant?"
"Shark!" Ao Wenchang immediately reacted.
Ao Muyang shook his head: "Xiao Jiang said that the public didn't know that it was definitely not a creature in the sea. The totem creatures they worship should be land animals or birds."
Jiang Caoqi snapped his fingers and smiled: "You are so smart, raptors, their totems are raptors, especially sea eagles!"
Ao Muyang understood what he meant, and Jiang Caoqi wanted to use this to verify the identity of the young man.
He looked up at the sky and waved his arms vigorously.
The queen, who was hovering in the air, flew down quickly after seeing it. Its wings rubbed against the space and made a sound of rushing. The sound was not loud and completely suppressed by the waves. However, when it descended, the young man raised his head as soon as possible.
The queen consumes a little gold drop every day, and her body has been transformed with gold drops. Her appearance is extremely powerful, and her feathers seem to have a layer of oil, and the sun shines on it, shining.
When its traces were clear, the young man stood attentively, and his expressionless face finally changed his spirit, and he looked intoxicated!
The queen fell on Ao Muyang's shoulder, Ao Muyang pointed his hand at the youth, and it took off and flew towards the youth again.
Looking at the tiger-headed sea eagle flying towards him, the young man immediately knelt on the ground.
Jiang Caoqi went up and gestured to him in simple sign language, telling him that the reason he could be saved was that the sea eagle discovered his figure and guided the crew to save him ashore.
After understanding what he meant, the young man quickly changed to kneeling on his knees, with an extremely pious expression on his face, and gestured something on his head and body with both hands, leaning over to the queen with all his knees.
Jiang Caoqi turned around and said, "That's right, Bayao people, this is a servant of the sea god."
Ao Muyang knew about the Bayao people, but he didn't know about this nation.
So he looked at the scene in surprise and said, "What's going on? How could this nomad at sea use dogs as totems?"
Ao Wenchang also wondered: "Yes, according to conventional rules, they should use the totem of fierce fish in the sea."
Jiang Caoqi said: "This matter is a long story. First of all, it is explained from the origin of the Bayao people. According to legend, a long time ago, the most beautiful princess in Johor, Malaysia was washed away in a flood. The Johor King was so sad that he sent the most elite guards to sea to find them and issued a death order. He was not allowed to come back if he could not find the princess!"
"The guard took his family to sea and traveled on the sea for many years but failed to find the princess. The guard captain was ashamed and led his subordinates and his family to never return to the land, and eventually became the ancestor of the Bayao people."
"In the search for the princess, they still had to contact the King of Johor. There were no telephones and telegrams at that time. So what did they rely on? They rely on carefully trained Raptors as messengers."
"In other words, in history, their entire tribe and land connections depend on birds of prey, and naturally there will be a plot of worship of birds of prey!"
