Chapter 16: Picnic

came out of the crow, only to find that it was already dark, and Shang Wu only found out where to go was a headache.

Before he could react to the crow's place, he fell into the crow's full suit, and what happened to the crow, and now he returned to his residence, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Shang Wu thought about it, then called Xiaoyu and told him to set up a bonfire outside and call a few people to have a picnic together.

After tossing for about half an hour, a bonfire was set up in the unwilling part of the camp, and a group of people roasted all kinds of meat around the bonfire, and a lot of food was sold under the bonfire, and it was baked at a high temperature on the bonfire for a period of time, and then it was cooked and then taken out for food.

"Gatepost, the construction of the camp is going well now." Shang Wu said leaning on the roast meat in his hand.

"Some houses have been built to alleviate the needs of some families who want to live alone, but now there is a shortage of manpower, and many things are prioritized, such as hunting in the fields, salt making and guarding." The doorpost handed Shang Wu a skewer of roasted meat.

"Now that Dayi merchants are empty, there is naturally a shortage of manpower, and these construction matters are all completed at one time, but if you want to eat and maintain internal order, these important places that need manpower every day are really sloppy." Shang Wu said as he ate the barbecue.

"By the way, the next big thing in the family is the sacrifice, I just came out of the crow, she wants to build an altar on the top of the mountain, and then build some houses next to the altar, she has some requirements for these houses, and you can go to her and ask for clarification when the time comes." Shang Wu pointed to a high mountain not far away and said.

"Okay, now it's dark, I'll go to the Raven Girl myself tomorrow morning. Get this done properly. The doorpost said with chicken wings flipped over.

"Xiaoyu, is there any soup, come and drink a bowl when your mouth is dry." Shang Wu said to Xiao Yu, eating barbecue without a bowl of hot soup, it felt like something was missing.

"Right away." Xiao Yu shook the soup spoon in the pot, then took out a bag of things from his pocket, measured the amount with the soup spoon and poured it, then stirred it, stirred it well, picked up a bowl and handed it to Shang Wu with both hands.

Shang Wu drank the hot soup, feeling that his stomach was warm and comfortable, and the pepper in it was also very cleverly sprinkled, and a simple bowl of broth was so delicious:

"Xiaoyu, your pepper is very level, Lu Lu can't make your bowl of soup even if he follows your steps."

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a delicious person with a mouth, how can I compare with the master's mother, the master's mother's riding and archery skills are in the entire business, even if the entire Dayi merchant is the strongest and no one can compare, my little skill is nothing." When Xiao Yu heard Shang Wu praise him, his heart was beautiful, but he still had to say good things about his mother.

"A small fish is a small fish, a seven-trick exquisite, Lu Lu heard you praise her so much, she couldn't sleep for another happy night." Shang Wu said with a smile.

Shang Wu said as he spoke, slowly raising his head and quietly looking at the sky. Everyone didn't think there was any difference between Shang Wu and was still busy barbecuing and eating meat, and when Shang Wu didn't move for a long time, they all looked at Shang Wu a little strangely.

"Do you think there really are ghosts and gods?" Shang Wu looked at the sky and said, a little like talking to himself.

"There should be, I heard some people say that the crow is really able to communicate with ghosts and gods, help people heal, and also tell good fortune and evil, and is also very spiritual." The big ass who was just eating on the side said.

"If there are really ghosts and gods, why didn't they come out to destroy this gang of miscellaneous people when the thief Zhou rebelled, I don't believe it, I only believe that the knife in my hand is real." The stone spoke directly, and waved his knife and gestured after speaking.

"Maybe there really is, my heart is always carried along the way, there are too many unknown things happening along the way, I'm really worried that something will happen unexpectedly, I can't sleep well every day, I hope there is something I can believe in so that I don't have to worry about it all the time. Now that I have finally settled down in Dayi Shang, everything is slowly on the right track, and there is no shortage and bad things to do, so I have been able to sleep steadily recently. The doorpost said how he felt.

"What do you think if I say I believe that there really are ghosts and gods?" Shang Wu simply threw out his own point of view to see what they would think under his own point of view.

"Really, the head of the family also believes in ghosts and gods, so I'll say that ghosts, gods and witch sacrifices are real, and it's still a very useful thing." Big Ass said.

"The head of the family said that he believed it, and I also believed it, is there such a ghost and god who is powerful in war and strong in force?" Since Shang Wu believed it, Shi himself also believed it, so he asked if there were any ghosts and gods that he was interested in.

"The head of the family also believes, it's good, and if I encounter an indecision in the future, I will go to the crow girl to divinate and not get an answer in time, so I can feel a lot more at ease." Said the doorpost.

"The doorpost sacrifice this time should be more lively, let the crows show their faces well, the communication of witchcraft ghosts and gods and ancestors, we are getting better and better in Dayi, and we must also do a good job of family sacrifices twice a year, of course, Dayi merchants can get better and better, in addition to the ancestors blessing and what are the ghosts and gods who bless us, we should also sacrifice them well." Shang Wu looked at the doorpost and said.

"I think that when we were in the Great Shang Dynasty, there was also Wu Zhu, Wu Zhu was in charge of sacrifices, Shang Emperor and Wu Zhu had to sacrifice to their ancestors, and they also had to sacrifice those ghosts and gods of faith, the most powerful main god was called the emperor, and there were many other powerful ghosts and gods, with their blessing, the Shang Dynasty lasted for more than 600 years." Shang Wu said with emotion.

"Then according to that, witchcraft is so important and powerful in the Shang Dynasty, we can't wait for this crow girl." Big Ass said.

"In the future, in Dayi businessmen, except for me, she will have the highest status, even if some people are not convinced, it will not be a short time." Shang Wu took a sip of soup and said.

"The head of the house exalted her like that?" Stone said in disbelief.

"Her status is not high for me to say, after a long time, everyone will naturally respect her, after all, she is a person who communicates with ghosts and gods." Shang Wu responded to the stone with a smile.

"Everyone will be polite to her in the future, as long as her believers and believers do not violate the rules we set and do not make trouble, they can do whatever they want, if there are people in the family who believe in ghosts and gods with her, if you don't like ghosts and gods, don't reject and let them reject faith, it is a good thing to have faith, you can help solve some unpleasant things at home." Shang Wu said as he spoke, and when he came to the back, he thought he was talking to himself.

"In the future, I will often go to serve the gods over there, and if you have time, come with me." Shang Wu took a bite of barbecue and said.

"Well, I'd like to see those mysterious things, too." The gossip king of the big ass said.

"I also accompanied the head of the family to see what was magical." Stone said.

"I'll believe it too, but I'm not so unhappy when I'm not confused." Said the doorpost

“......”

“.......”

“.......”

All of them expressed their opinion that they would accompany Shang Wu to serve God.
