Chapter 18: Vulcan
"Don't worry, Brother Mawuka, we are just a temporary boarding for one night, and we will definitely not break your rules. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe don't read what you can't see here, even if we give us money, we don't read it. The fat man Zhang tried his best to flatter, but instead of getting Mawuka's smiling face, he was rewarded and turned away with disdain.
When Maur saw the second brother leave, she knew that she had now received the second brother's promise to let these friends who had just met temporarily stay in the empty stone room for a while.
The beds in the room are made of cobblestones, and at the foot of each bed there is a hole in the wood to heat and dehumidify the cobblestone beds.
Lying on such a cobblestone bed, everyone feels very warm and comfortable.
At such a moment, the delicacy that Fat Man Zhang was most dear to his heart finally appeared.
There was no venison, but there was a plate of fragrant roast suckling pig.
"Yes, that boy from Maul is very interesting." The fat man Zhang smiled at the children who brought the meal, and immediately began to enjoy the food.
Xin Ye tasted it curiously, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste was really good.
Wei Zhengtu tore off a piece of fragrant suckling pork and wanted to hand it to Jiang Kangping, who was closing his eyes on the stone bed, but Jiang Kangping politely refused because he had no appetite.
The fat man Zhang gnawed on the pig's trotters and comforted: "I said big brother, don't worry so much about anything first, this Hao Jie will definitely be found, don't you see that Tao Yu has been found, don't you worry, since there are no cannibals, there will generally be nothing to do, and since Hao Jie is so interested in the Hengjing Forest here, there will definitely be some research." ”
Listening to the fat man Zhang so much, the artist Tao Yu also echoed on the side.
This kind of comfort did not make Jiang Kangping feel much better, he still lay there silently, no longer communicating with everyone too much.
Just as everyone was chatting casually, the flow of people coming and going outside began to become frequent.
The fat man wiped his hands and slowly looked inside the door to see the scene outside.
"Fatty, don't people let us watch it here? Don't you want to cause some trouble in a while? Tian Wenqing said worriedly.
The fat man Zhang waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "These people outside are waiting for that fire god to appear, what are we afraid of, no one will take the time to see if we really didn't pay attention to their sacrificial activities now." ”
The fat man looked through the crack in the door and saw many people circling around a pile of firewood, and if he looked closely, there seemed to be a motionless body lying on top of the pile.
"Yo, come and see, although this Mawu tribe says that it doesn't eat people, but how can I see a person lying in the middle, aren't they going to sacrifice today? Isn't it going to be sacrificed with this big living person? ”
Wei Zhengtu looked carefully into the distance and whispered, "Probably not, it seems that someone has died here." ”
Tian Wenqing stepped forward, nodded and said, "Well, it really may be that someone has passed away, you didn't see that person lying there motionless, his face was blue, and he didn't look like a living person." ”
"It turns out that the fire sacrifice they are talking about is a kind of funeral ritual for ethnic minorities." Wei Zhengtu said thoughtfully.
Pi Menghui does not have a stone bench, he eats roast suckling pig, relying on everyone, because many ethnic minorities advocate fire source, so in addition to funeral ceremonies, there are many important festivals or ceremonies will use fire sacrifices.
"Wow, that wizard is so powerful, she's actually performing fire-breathing." Wei Zhengtu said excitedly.
For Wei Zhengtu's surprise, Pi Menghui was very unimpressed. He smiled and said: "You see if she has a tube in her mouth, which is generally the tube with rosin powder and paper ash that has not been completely burned out, and when you need to breathe fire, you will quietly ignite it outside, and the actor will blow out, and there will be sparks flying out." ”
The fat man Zhang carefully observed for a while, but found that the wizard should not contain any tubes.
"Xin Ye, come and take a look, I don't think this wizard's state is right." The fat man Zhang's words sounded very gloomy, and even Jiang Kangping, who had been lying on the bed, left the cobblestone bed, intending to come over to see what was going on.
According to Ma'uka's statement just now, everyone speculated that the wizard who was now surrounding the deceased should be the god of fire in the mouth of the Mawu tribe.
After Pi Menghui's discernment, this fire god did not use any external force to perform witchcraft.
Looking at the wizard's very exaggerated face that had been decorated, Xin Ye suddenly remembered a person.
"Could it be her?"
Xin Ye's question aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Who is she? Do you know that? The fat man asked in a half-squatting position.
Xin Ye smiled and didn't answer directly.
This wizard who looks like a superpowered person is very much like an old man he once knew.
That person is Wan Fang.
But judging from the behavior, Xin Ye is not very sure whether this woman is the Wan Fang in his mind, because after all, after many years, the makeup of this wizard is very complicated and looks exaggerated. Xin Ye only speculated from the other party's general face and some physical habits that the person in front of him was an old man he knew.
"Otherwise, let's go out and have a look, it's so dark now, let's go out and have a look, and come back soon, I think it won't delay the worship of heaven here."
Xin Ye's suggestion was immediately echoed by the fat man Zhang, but the others seemed very hesitant and didn't particularly want to leave the room.
"Then I'll go with you." Tian Wenqing said voluntarily.
said that the action would be taken immediately, and while the night was getting dark, the three of them sneaked out of the stone room.
"Xin Ye, who is that "she" you just said? Not long after he walked out of the room, the fat man Zhang asked curiously.
Xin Ye looked at Tian Wenqing behind him, and replied in a low voice that he just felt that this wizard looked a little like Wan Fang.
Hearing this explanation, the fat man scratched his head, and he carefully recalled that he should have heard the name of this Wan Fang somewhere.
After thinking about it for a long time, the fat man Zhang remembered that when he was chatting before, he seemed to have said that Jenny, whose real name may be Du Mengfan, had followed a woman in Yanmeng, and that woman was called Wan Fang.
"Isn't it, what kind of wizard is that Wan Fang going to such a barren mountain and forest? That's weird, isn't it? Fat Zhang's tone was obviously a little incredulous.
