Chapter 18: Out of the Water
"Out of the water, out of the water! There's really water down there! ”
Early one morning, the patrol members who were digging the well shouted in the well, and the sound turned back in the well for a while, and it was transmitted to the outside of the well as fast as possible.
Yaju Ji immediately put down the work in his hand and ran to the well to check.
The patrol members who stayed in the well were very excited, and the digging action was a little faster, and the small water continued to leach out of the soil, forming small springs into the well.
"Be careful!" Yae Ji reminds above.
"Don't worry, Lord Ji, we will definitely finish this well today!"
The sky was still only cloudy, the temperature was a little lower, and many people were wearing long sleeves, but the news of the water made the patrol members' blood burn, and they were quite energetic.
In the past, when the weather was hot, everyone could only work in the early morning and evening, and when the sun rose slightly, they began to pack up their things and go back to their respective homes, leaving one or two to guard by the well.
But today is different, until the sun rises, the sun ruthlessly releases its scorching ultraviolet rays, everyone is sweating profusely, and their lips are chapped one after another, but even so, they have not stopped working.
A fine layer of sweat also broke out on Yaeji's white forehead, and she unconsciously narrowed her eyes when she looked at the sky.
"Nozawa, bring the turtle you prepared earlier!" Yae Ji commanded.
"Okay, Lord Ji!"
A young man who was hoeing greeted and trotted back to the village.
The rest of the patrol continued to work, and they didn't know why Lord Ji wanted the turtle. They are all well-informed and knowledgeable people in the village.
Some time before the well was dug up, someone in the village accidentally ate the meat of the dead youkai, and was dominated by the hatred of the youkai and became a corpse demon. At that time, Lord Ji cast the sixth stage of the Falling Sakura Slash instantaneous flash, and they were easily solved.
What is the mystery in this, can they still not know in their hearts?
It is impossible for Lord Ji to "have a whim" and do a meaningless thing. Therefore, it is very likely that after the shrine maiden, Lord Ji got in touch with the great gods and was guided by the gods to give birth to such miracles.
Of course, there are also some villagers who are not well-informed and don't know that Ji-sama has become a "shrine shrine maiden".
This kind of thing as Lord Ji becoming a shrine maiden.,Because of special reasons.,It's good that they know it in their hearts.,And they won't talk nonsense to others.。 The patrol members all have a special sense of superiority in their hearts.
They know things that others don't know!
The only thing that worries them is that the three members of this generation of Yae are all girls, and the position of the Yae God Lord ......
Judging from the current situation, Lord Ji still wants Lord Ji to sit in the position of the next generation of Lord God. I just don't know what the respected old-timers in the village think.
"Ji-sama, Ji-sama!" Nozawa, who was running wildly from the village, held an object in his hand and shouted as he ran: "Let me go, the turtle that Lord Ji wants is here!" ”
Yae Ji was full of black lines and took the turtle from Nozawa's hand.
After a bumpy ride, the turtle finally felt steady again, and stretched out its slender head to look out.
With a "whoosh", he hurriedly retracted into the turtle shell.
"Hah...... Ha ha. Nozawa smiled awkwardly, "Domestic, I guess I'm shy." ”
Yaju Ji twitched the corners of his mouth again, what is this?
After seeing that the turtle was alive, Yae Ji casually threw the turtle to the man who managed the patrol.
"Put the turtle down, and after seven days it won't die, and the well will be ready for use."
"Yes!"
The man held the turtle in both hands, as if he were holding a great holy relic.
Although he didn't understand why he wanted to let a turtle go in and raise it for seven days, it didn't get in the way, it must be the guidance of the gods! Miko-sama is right in everything she says! They just have to do it.
The man respectfully lowered the turtle that was regarded as a "holy object" into the wooden barrel, and let the wooden barrel containing the holy object slowly lower into the well, a series of operations that made Yae Ji even more speechless.
"Superstition is not advisable."
Yae Ji's face was expressionless, he had long been accustomed to some strange words that would pop up in his head from time to time.
The patrol members who were still in the well also prepared a rudimentary nest for the "holy relics".
It wasn't until the person working in the well was hoisted up that Yae Ji clapped his hands and said, "Every day, you send a team to guard here, and no one can drink the water from the well!" I mean anyone! Do you hear that? ”
"I heard you!" ×N
Yae Ji nodded with satisfaction, the newly drilled well to be stocked with a turtle was taught to him by another world, saying what can detect whether the heavy metals in the water exceed the standard, what pollution and so on.
Although he didn't understand it very well, he just did it, and he still had to follow the master as a newcomer.
"Lord Ji."
While people were gathered around the well, the man who led the team ran over, with a smile on his face, "The matter of digging the well, as well as the 'holy relics' that were put down just now, are all the guidance of the gods?" ”
"You don't have to know." Yaju Ji pretended to be profound: "Catch that turtle in seven days, if it is alive, the villagers can come to fetch water every day in the future, if it is dead, it will ......."
"Dead...... How so? "The man's heart is mentioned, he doesn't want to give up his efforts.
"If you're dead, we'll talk about it then."
"Alright, I'll go back first." Yae Ji glanced at the patrols who surrounded the well, and admonished, "It's okay for the villagers to come and see, don't drink the water in there." ”
"You can put a hundred hearts on this! Our patrol team is also manned at night. The man thumped his chest.
......
"Brother, you have to pinch it like this, otherwise the rice balls will be loose and won't be shaped."
Yae Ji had no choice but to sit honestly next to Sakura's shop and watch Sakura's little hands play on the rice dough.
The small hands move so fast that Yaeji in a trance sees the shape of a butterfly.
Sakura's knee was bruised, and for the past three days, everything in the house has to be taken care of by him. Including cooking, hygiene, decoction, and so on.
For the first time, he felt Sakura's hard work.
In the past, Sakura did all the work, and at most he went to the warehouse to calculate the harvest handed over by the villagers, as well as the collection of herbs and ores.
Watching Yae Village's special rice balls take shape in Sakura's little hands, Yaeki's heart was rarely calm.
"My brother is so ugly."
Rin's voice came from behind.
Yaeji's face froze, and he pinched his palm again, "Didn't you notice that I was pinching the cutest Rin?" ”
"Huh?!"
"The cutest Rin you've pinched is about to disperse as soon as it is steamed."
Sakura then mended the knife.
"Don't!" Rin squeezed into Yaeji's arms and sat down, keeping Yaeji's sinful hands away from the 'battlefield'.
"I'm going to pinch it too."
