Chapter 330: Shamanism (24)
"Why didn't they bring the whole roasted sheep?" Li Dazhuang next to him finally couldn't help but speak. Saying that he was hungry was too light to say that he was hungry, and now he was so hungry that he couldn't walk, and he couldn't lift up a little strength, and all he thought about was the roasted whole sheep that Wu Suomu promised him.
"Brother Wu Suomu. Although I don't think you plan to take Huangliang senior as a pet, but you only promised me before, if you want to give me a whole sheep, it still has to be counted. Li Dazhuang saw that the horseback men who rode over did not bring a single sheep, for fear that Wu Suomu would regret breaking his word, so he hurriedly turned his head and spoke to Wu Suomu.
"This ......" Wu Suomu didn't expect this half-grown child's nerves to be so big, he looked at the six companions who were getting closer and closer and his own mount, and still comforted Li Dazhuang and said: "Brother Wushuang, don't worry. The sheep will have it, didn't we say that we would have it in the village, but it hasn't arrived yet. β
"Oh, too. Li Dazhuang nodded innocently, still uneasy and said, "Then don't forget when you get to the village." β
"Don't worry, you won't forget. Wu Suomu dealt with Li Dazhuang absentmindedly, secretly thinking in his heart, how to talk to a few partners later, and at the same time not be discovered by the orange cat (he is no longer on the defense of Li Dazhuang, because through this more than an hour of getting along, he is very sure that this young man with strong tendons and flesh has a very sorry IQ. οΌ
"By the way, Brother Wu Suomu, do you guys bring a roast leg of lamb in your pocket next to the horse's belly?" Li Dazhuang asked again.
"Well, I don't think so. Wu Suomu was a little embarrassed, he felt a trace of guilt for this child who was too innocent, this child was so naΓ―ve, it seemed that he had completely believed in himself, but he had quietly planned another secret in his heart. "It seems that I am the only one who has the habit of going out with two legs of mutton, and they probably don't have any. β
"Oh. Li Dazhuang sighed with some disappointment.
When the orange cat was talking to Wu Suomu, several guesses had already emerged in his heart--Is Wu Suomu's statement just now true? What is the strength of these six people? Judging from the conversation with Wu Suomu just now and from his behavior, he doesn't seem to fully believe in himself and Da Zhuang, if he waits for him to join forces with the six people who came here and suddenly make trouble, I don't know if he can hold on.
Thinking of this, the orange cat glanced at Li Dazhuang again, thinking that this kid was so hungry that he was like this, and he didn't know how much combat power he had left, so he didn't even have the strength to swing his fist.
It was too late to say that it was too fast, and the six horses were all first-class horses on the grassland, but in a few breaths, they came closer: "Brother Wu Suomu!"
Several people greeted Wu Suomu, and Wu Suomu responded one by one, and then introduced Li Dazhuang and Orange Cat standing next to him to several people: "These two are the servants of the master, and they specially rushed from the imperial capital of the Central Plains to meet the master." This is the Wu brothers, and this is Mr. Huang Liang. β
The six people dismounted one after another to greet the two visitors, the orange cat returned the salute to the six people very regularly, but Li Dazhuang couldn't help it, and the first thing he said to the six people was: "Do any of you have a leg of mutton?"
"Leg of mutton?" the six of them looked at each other a few times, and there was no reason for this sentence to ask.
"yes, leg of lamb. Li Dazhuang nodded again and again, hoping to get a positive answer: "I'm dying of hunger." Do you know? I have been running around with my predecessors for days, and we have not had a good rest, especially since last night, and I know that we have not eaten a single thing for almost 24 hours. β
"Ahem, shut up. The orange cat coughed lightly and stopped Li Dazhuang's complaints, I was really afraid that Li Dazhuang would leak his mouth again: "For the sake of the master, do these little things, suffer a little crime, what is there to complain about?"
"Oh, I won't say it. Li Dazhuang was reminded by the orange cat, and he was really much more honest, so he closed his mouth and stopped making a sound.
Wu Suomu felt that Li Dazhuang was pitiful, just now he deliberately wanted to provoke him, so he deliberately ate a leg of mutton to gluttonous him, but now seeing him hungry like this, his heart suddenly felt a little unbearable. Then he said to his companions, "This witch brother is hungry, and any of you has brought something to eat." β
After hearing this, the six people looked at each other again, and shook their heads one after another: "I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything to eat." β
Then another man said, "Oh, that's right. I have half a bag of water on my horse, do you want to drink it?" he said, turning and untying the water bag hanging from the saddle.
"Water will do, too. Li Dazhuang hurriedly took two steps forward, took the water bag, pulled out the stopper and drank it all.
"Let's go back to the village first. Wu Suomu walked over to his horse and briefly inspected one side of the horse to make sure it wasn't hurt before relieving. It seems that the orange cat's surprise attack on himself just now did not harm the horses. He turned over and mounted his horse, and then instructed his two companions to take the orange cat and Li Dazhuang with them, and then took the lead in turning the horse's head and hurried in the direction of the village.
He didn't dare to let the orange cat sit in his arms anymore, he had learned the power of the orange cat, and there was no guarantee that if the orange cat was not his own, he would be able to dodge it if he launched another surprise attack. As for Li Dazhuang, judging from the performance of this child, he is a simple child who has no city government, but he is careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. It's hard to guarantee that he won't suddenly break out, so it's better to be safe.
Orange Cat and Li Dazhuang each sat on the back of two people's horses, and were carried behind Wu Suomu's horse and walked towards the village.
Li Dazhuang sat on the horseback, let out a long breath, and couldn't help but say with a refreshed face full of intoxication. He still came all the way, and for the first time he didn't have to walk by himself, it was really comfortable. Especially when he was so hungry that he couldn't walk, but he had to use the last of his strength to walk.
"It's easier to ride a horse than to walk. A burly man sat behind Li Dazhuang, holding the reins with both hands, and that posture looked like he was holding Li Dazhuang.
"No, it's much more comfortable. Li Dazhuang nodded. He didn't even have the strength to get on the horse just now, but this big man dragged him up.
"Haha. The big man laughed: "Sit tight, let's speed up!"
After speaking, he suddenly grabbed the horse's belly, freed one hand, raised his whip and flicked it on the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed, suddenly accelerated, and ran forward.
Seven horses, carrying nine men and one cat, accelerated and galloped one after another, letting go of their speed in this large open space. They soon arrived at the village.
When Li Dazhuang saw this village, he couldn't help but sigh: "These are all ancient houses." "He doesn't have any concept of architecture, but he has seen this kind of architecture when he watches costume movies on TV anyway.
The orange cat is different from Li Dazhuang, it is a monster that has lived for nearly 200 years, has personally experienced the changes in modern architectural styles, and has also learned some knowledge in this area in the experience of nearly 200 years, so it can be seen at a glance that the architectural style here is very similar to the Ming Dynasty. This shows that what Wu Suomu said before that his ancestors came here four hundred years ago is roughly correct.
When they came to the village, it was already evening. Only a third of the sun was left in the west, and the large clouds in the western half of the sky were usually illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun into a red sunset, and the shadows of the mountains were pulled long, completely covering the small village.
As soon as Wu Suomu entered the village, he asked people to kill sheep and roast them for Li Dazhuang to eat, which moved Li Dazhuang.
Wu Suomu originally wanted to find an opportunity to explain to his companions that he wanted them to be wary of the orange cat and Li Dazhuang, but the orange cat seemed to have discovered his intentions, and followed him closely, never leaving his body for half a minute, which made him a little helpless and had no idea for the time being.
He didn't know Li Dazhuang's strength, but he had a certain degree of understanding of the strength of the orange cat, if it broke out, with his own seven people, he would definitely not be able to help it.
He thought to himself that if the orange cat and the others were not the servants of the master, then they would definitely be resistant to going to the master, so if he proposed to go to the master, it would definitely shirk in every way, and if it was too urgent, it would easily provoke the two of them.
To be on the safe side, it's better to find those shamans to help the town. Anyway, in addition to cultivating all day long, those dozen shamans were just babbling about things that no one could understand. There is nothing to do every day, but according to the unwritten tradition on the grassland, my own tribe will raise more than a dozen of them to eat. Raising a shaman for a thousand days, using a shaman for a while, isn't it time for them to contribute today?
Wu Suomu coughed lightly, and in front of the orange cat, said to one of his fellow clansmen, "You go and call Kahan'er and them, remember, call them all." Tell them that a distinguished guest has arrived. β
The fellow didn't understand what Wu Suomu meant by this, and was about to ask a question, when Wu Suomu said, "Hurry up, go and go back quickly." He gave up asking questions and drove his horse in the other direction of the village.
"What is a shaman?" asked the orange cat warily.
"Shamans are a unique type of people in our grasslands, and their religion is called shamanism. As shamans, their duties are to heal diseases and pray for blessings, to solve problems for the clan, and usually, when there are distinguished guests in the clan, they also have to appear as shamans to accompany them, and the more honored guests, the more shamans are needed. Wu Suomu casually made up a lie to cover up his true purpose: "Mr. Huangliang, you and the Wu brothers are both servants of the master, so they are naturally the honored guests of our clan. That's why I said that all the shamans must come here to be worthy of your status. β
"What can they do when they come?" said the orange cat's heart, saying goodbye, so let's beat me two.
"They will wash away the dust from you who have come from afar, and pray for you, and may you always be safe and happy. Wu Suomu told another lie.
"I see. The orange cat nodded, and like Wu Suomu before, it couldn't tell whether what the other party said was true or false. However, its intuition told itself that this witch lock wood's words were eighty percent false.
Shaman, these two words sound strange. It's best not to run into shamans, who knows what they do. The orange cat had a headache and thought that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it was advisable to make a quick decision, find out where Xu Guan was as soon as possible, and take him away from here It was serious.
It thought for a moment, and the best way to avoid waiting here to meet the shaman was to meet someone more important: "By the way, Mr. Wu Suomu. The two of us have come all the way here to join our master. The noble shamans, let's keep it and see you later, I'm really sorry, I still have important things to tell the master. So, you better take me to the master as soon as possible. β
The reason why the orange cat said this, and the reason why he dared to propose to see Wu Yan, was because it saw Wu Yan flying south with two of his men before dawn today, and was sure that she would definitely not be here at this time.
As soon as these words came out, Wu Suomu was stunned. He thought with a little suspicion: Could it be that these two are really the servants of the master?
It stands to reason that the orange cat offered to meet his master, Wu Yan, and he should have asked for it. In front of the owner, you can tell the real from the fake at once. But he still remembered that he had been warned by the tanuki girl the day before yesterday, saying that the master was in retreat and could not be disturbed, and he was not even allowed to deliver food, let alone meet people.
This makes it difficult for Wu Suomu, don't see it, you can't tell the truth from the fake, see it, you don't count what you said, and if you don't get it, you will be blamed for disobeying the master's orders.
Under the gaze of the orange cat, Wu Suomu's face changed several times, and finally slapped his thigh and said, "I can't hide it, the master has been in retreat recently, and no one will let me disturb me." If Mr. Huang Liang wants to see his master, I'm afraid he will have to wait for a while. β
"Oh. The orange cat said in his heart, it turns out that this is the reason, using this statement to conceal the whereabouts of the south. It couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if Wu Suomu really should come down and take it to find Wu Yan, then it would be really scared. Looks like he's got the bet right.
When Wu Suomu spoke, he also looked at it like an orange cat looking at himself, and he was a little surprised to find that when he finished speaking, indicating that he had not seen his owner recently, the big fat cat seemed to be relieved, and the whole cat's state suddenly relaxed.
There's definitely something greasy here.
