Chapter 1002: Secretly Returning Home (3)
The whole village is preparing for the festival of the recovery festival, the children are a little sensible and follow the adults to help, the little ones are having fun by themselves, the younger they are, the more lively and active, and some of them have to be trained by the adults at the training ground, and a few of them also played the projects I practiced back then, push-ups and sit-ups or something, all of which were done in a good way.
Of course, wrestling and topracking are indispensable.
Watching them have a lot of fun makes me feel mixed feelings.
Everything seems so busy and hopeful.
The barracks were also preparing, but it looked like they were going to carry everything over, after all, there was only one altar.
It was noon, and although there was no sunlight, the sky was faintly clear, and I hid my body in the cold wind above the village, listening to their chat, feeling the changes in the past six months.
Among them, it is naturally the chat between my mother and my sister.
The joy on their faces quickly dimmed at the mention of me.
Feelings of guilt swelled up in my heart.
"Little brother will be fine." My sister comforted her mother, "Grandpa said he was fine, let's just wait." ”
"Bihonghong, I've never had a recovery festival outside alone...... "Mom sighed again, and she was about to wipe her tears, "Alas......"
"Mommy......" the sister-in-law said as she coaxed her little nephew, "let's not talk about that." ”
My sister also advised: "Yes, there are so many people in the village now, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else, by the way, Gerry wants grandpa to help with divination, is the child in the womb male or female......"
"What happened to the men and women?" Mom wiped the corners of her eyes, "Your grandfather is a shaman, and he doesn't specialize in watching whether the child is male or female!" ”
My sister was a little embarrassed: "But, Grilla ......"
"What, if it's a woman, he doesn't want it?" The mother said, "If they dare to dislike it, the child will have your surname Doon!" ”
"No," said the sister, "he said that he just wanted to know in advance so that he could prepare......
"What to prepare? Didn't you bring up Bijon and Allen, and you also helped bring up the children in the village, will you be inexperienced? Mother said, "Don't tell your grandfather about this." ”
My sister said: "I also told him, he actually doesn't care, my parents-in-law just don't worry." ”
Mom said, "That's easy, ask them to come to your grandfather, I can't take care of that." ”
My sister smiled: "If they dare, they wouldn't let Gerry tell me." ”
"Actually, there is no need to be so careful," said the sister-in-law, "and my grandfather said when I was about to give birth, our Duon family lacks nothing, and it doesn't matter if it is good for boys and girls." ”
"Yes." My sister said.
"Well, you shouldn't pay attention to him for such a trivial matter...... Mom said.
"I'm just asking," said my sister, "and this made him die, and it also made his parents-in-law die." ”
"Mom," said the sister-in-law again, "are all the clothes and toys that Bijon and Allen wore before?" ”
Mom said, "It's all here, but it's a little old, I'll make up some new ones for him, and sew them well, by the way, there are also horn covers that Bijon wore before, and Alan also wore them, and they are all good fur ......"
Speaking of me, her tone paused again.
"That's great," said the sister-in-law, "but unfortunately he won't need it this winter, and next year, he should be able to run off the ground......"
My sister and sister-in-law took the conversation away from me, and my mother's mood improved, and my sister said, "It's almost time to worry about Pattu and Yuri's marriage, I heard that someone is already preparing for Alan......
"Who's so idle?" Mom said, "Ellen is still young! ”
The sister-in-law smiled and said, "Of course, my daughter is about the same age as Allen." ”
"I'm really idle," said the mother...... "It is better to have another son with that skill, so that someone will take care of it in the future." ”
After all, there are still more topics between women than men, just listening to the three of them about the big and small things in the village, I have already been distracted, and then listening to those who moved from other villages, as well as those goblins, trolls, centaurs, and the movement of the military camp, all the information gathered together, and gave me a general outline of the changes in the village of Vale in the past six months.
For the villagers, the biggest change was neither the migration of people from other villages, nor the stationing of troops and merchants, but the centaurs.
After all, the generational hatred between centaurs and us is not so easy to dissolve, but with the intervention of the Bloodhoof Army and the militia, coupled with the overall situation of the entire orc clan, the villagers are easily convinced, and they are no longer so hateful to the centaurs who came here, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they will not show it, and it can be regarded as maintaining the apparent peace of the village.
The afternoon passed quickly, and Dad and the others all returned, including Uncle Sanchi, the vice-captain, and Uncle Yanggovo, who had not been seen for a long time.
Patrols from the army side have also gathered, including Uncle Sanchi's son, my childhood friend Kate.
The evening festival is about to begin.
Because of the large number of people who participated, Grandpa, Patu, and Yuri were the leaders of the festival, and the officers in the barracks stood on the side closest to the altar as the guards and guests of honor for the festival.
There is not much difference between the festival and previous years, except that there are more people.
At the same time, the sacrifices in the ceremony were also extraordinarily rich, and I could see clearly that the souls of those living prey were completely taken away and returned to the kingdom of God, and I could not find any trace of it.
I don't know if these spirits will become new spirits or consumed "materials" through the "thin film" of the four-dimensional space, but in any case, I can also speculate that the gods need the faith of the believers to strengthen themselves, and the souls of the devout and powerful believers need to expand their manpower, and at the same time, they need the souls of these sacrifices to do something......
The power of faith, the soul of the devout believer, and the soul of the sacrifice all belong to the category of mental power, and they are all "beings" that can transcend dimensions.
Thinking like this, my heart sank again, and an indescribable depression and anger were accumulating in my heart.
The festival reached its climax, and everyone except the three people on the altar knelt down, and even the officers were half-kneeling with weapons in their hands, as a sign of piety.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The family of the traitor Bijon is not worthy to go near the sacred altar!" ”
It was a few people from other villages who had moved in, and one of them was Bida from Bezu Village, the head of a child who I had easily defeated.
There are also a few people from other villages who follow suit, which I am not very familiar with.
"The festival is not over yet, don't make a lot of noise!" An officer pointed at Bida and shouted.
"If you continue to keep them here, the festival will not be sacred enough!" Bida then shouted.
"Nonsense!" Another officer stood up, "You'd better be honest, or you'll ......"
"Sir! Everyone knows why the prairie is like this," Bida cried, "it's all because of that traitor!" ”
"Bidha!" Patu, who was standing on the altar, shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
"Am I talking nonsense?" Bida pointed the finger at Patu and shouted excitedly, "None of you dare to admit it, it is because of Bihong that we live like this, and every day we are afraid of being arrested and interrogated, for fear of confiscating our houses and property!" We have never betrayed the Mother Goddess, we have always sacrificed with our hearts, just because of a traitor, we suffer every day, even if we pray sincerely every day, we will not be able to return to the former stable life, all because of a traitor! It's all because ...... We don't want this life, we want to live the life we used to have! ”
He spoke incoherently, and I was startled by what he said.
It turned out that in order to interrogate the cultists of the evil gods, Terraria and her "men" actually treated these innocent people in such a rough way!
"You talk nonsense!" A mournful voice cried, "Bihon has no ......" halfway through, and the voice could not continue.
That's Mom!
Her sister and sister-in-law knelt beside her and hugged her.
She burst into tears.
My heart tugged up, as if it was being held by a hand, and the pain was indescribable.
Dad and brother, as well as Alan, all stood up.
"Don't move!" An officer yelled, "No one is allowed to speak until the festival is over!" Kneel, all of you! ”
"They don't deserve to kneel!" The man next to Bida then shouted, "Without them, the festival would be more complete!" ”
The officers all stood up, weapons in hand, and were about to step down.
At this time, the surrounding soldiers also stood up.
"You're the ones who disrupt the festival!" It was Kate who spoke, "If you guys really object, why don't you say it before the festival!" Now, it's troublemaking! ”
I was grieving my mother's crying, but now I was struck by Kate's words.
He, how could he say such a thing?
Bida looked at Kate and then shouted, "You're also Bihon's accomplice!" Don't think I don't know, your weapons and equipment were all stolen from the city by Bihong, of course you help him speak! I asked, and with his salary, he simply can't afford those things, especially weapons! Moreover, he also extorted the merchants in the city! The people of your Ville village used all the food he robbed and cheated back, of course you don't hate him, but what about us? Just because he is alone, he has affected all the surrounding villages! ”
An officer stepped down from the altar and headed towards Bida.
