121. Sacrificial rituals
Battles, victories.
Fang Tianming's head was placed on a simple stool. That's just high enough for all the rabbits to see.
In the courtyard of the igloo, all the rabbits crouched silently around the human head.
Tao Zhaide stood on the side, not daring to disturb this moment.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak - squeak - "
The leader of the Iron Rabbits, Darkfang, moved to the stool and faced all the rabbits around him, looking up and shaking his ears, not knowing what he was saying.
The second sister rabbit lowered her head and plunged the two swords in her arms directly into the dirt under her feet.
Then, she slowly pulled out the two knives and raised them high in front of all the rabbits!
"Woo...... Woohoo......"
The rabbits, all of them let out low whimpering.
It's rhythmic, it's deep. There was a slight grief in the sound vibrations one after another, sadness, and solemnity that made the human Tao Zhaide next to him dare not breathe loudly.
(Lord Duck, what are they doing?...... It's so solemn. )
(Shhhh This is the ritual of these Iron Rabbit Clans. In fact, the ritual of the Iron Rabbit Clan can be regarded as a very face-saving thing for you, a human, to be able to watch from the sidelines. So you don't need to know anything now, you don't need to understand anything. Just stand quietly and don't speak, don't move. After all, not everyone in this world can participate in the mourning and prayer rituals of other races. )
Tao Zhaide nodded and stopped talking.
The Iron Rabbits mourned for a long time. Dark Fang jumped onto Fang Tianming's head, as if he was giving a speech.
The speech was not very long, but the iron rabbits below were all lying on the ground. The ears sit softly against the back of the head.
Even if he couldn't understand it, Tao Zhaide felt that he seemed to be able to feel the solemnity and solemnity in it.
"Squeak, squeak. ”
At the end of the speech, a few rabbits blew bellows in the cast-iron area next to it. Some of the sturdy rabbits stood up and walked behind the cast-iron area, putting on some small pieces of armor. Raising some small fighting knives, he stepped out again. Like a guard, it surrounded Fang Tianming's head. Bow your head, solemnly.
The flames in the bellows rose, and several iron rabbits came over with branches with a slight flame, and they also staggered to each other with the rabbit soldiers. It's like presiding over a fire sacrifice.
Afterwards. The second sister rabbit, who was holding the eldest sister's knife in both hands, carried the double knife upside down, and slowly walked towards Fang Tianming's head.
(Ahh
(Shhh These rabbits are measured. Many times, the beasts are much more measured than you humans!, don't worry!)
The second sister over there jumped up suddenly and raised her twin knives high!
The next moment, these two knives directly plunged into Fang Tianming's eyes. It was also at this moment that the rabbits below suddenly raised their heads and pricked up their ears! It's like a well-trained army!
"Squeak squeak squeak ————————!!!"
The blade full of hatred was exchanged for a roar of this second sister rabbit!
It was like responding to her. The other rabbits all pricked up their ears and roared in unison!
From afar, Tao Zhaide could see the second sister rabbit's tightly clenched fist.
In her face raised by roaring, in those closed eyes......
I could see a trace of tears, and the roar of the return journey was also condensed in her eyes......
————————————————————————————
This New Year, these rabbits are not the only ones who will cry.
When Tao Zhaide took Fang Tianming's head to Wisteria Town and placed this head in front of Snow Rose, Tao Zhaide saw that the girl's eyes also fell on the tears that had been held back for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back at this moment.
Under the order of Snow Rose, this immortal's head was directly crushed by the family of the Xue family, mashed into meat sauce and made into bone and blood buns, which were placed in front of her husband's grave. Of course, these buns were only eaten by wild dogs after one night, and a dignified immortal was only killed in the belly of a dog.
With Fang Tianming's head, Snow Rose threw all the bills he owed in the past six months directly into the brazier in front of Tao Zhaide.
In addition to the ashes, Snow Rose also gave Tao Zhaide a few hams, two carts of charcoal, firewood, and some iron of decent quality. Looks like this winter shouldn't be too sad, right?

..................
time, soon to the end of the year.
In December, Xue Mei Niangshan is like a girl who has been angry, and she can be grumpy.
It's been more than 20 days in a row, and there is not a single bit of sunshine in the sky.
Looking at the snowstorm outside the ice wall that never stopped, Tao Zhaide was also a little stunned and shook his head.
"Master, task, done. ”
When he was looking out the window, the taciturn third sister rabbit had jumped on the windowsill at some point and squeaked in front of Tao Zhaide.
Tao Zhaide nodded, and followed the rabbit out of the igloo and into the cast iron area. At this time, I saw a lot of strong rabbits pulling a long sword out of the cooling pool.
Hate the Dragon Sword
The blade of the sword is based on a dragon with long teeth and claws, and the sword body is slender and sharp.
Although it is not a shocking work, it is also a great achievement for these rabbits.
Tao Zhaide nodded, took out the power of attorney on the table next to him, opened it, looked at the design drawings of the Dragon Hate Sword inside, and then compared the finished product, and smiled.
Tauzhai and his Ice Castle don't have any income yet. The only thing that can be said to be income is probably some commissions about cast iron given by the Xue family.
Before, the Xue family also successively gave some small commissions such as pots and pans. Although the price offered by Snow Rose is fair, it is generally not high, and it is impossible to feed so many rabbits, a large tiger, and a gluttonous baby and herself in the entire igloo.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, when the materials were delivered a month ago, there was a letter of power of attorney and a design drawing. It can be said that this is the first time that the Snow family has commissioned the manufacturing requirements of the "Blade". Looking at the commission fee it gives is really not a small amount, if it is completed, at least this year should not be tight. (To be continued......)
