Chapter 165: The Story of the Blue Tile 2
Qingwa closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he let out a long breath!
"If you want to talk about how I met adults, you have to start with my background!"
After Qingwa said a word, he suddenly turned to Wen Qing and asked, "Sister Qing!" Do you think it's cold in the dungeon? ”
Wen Qing didn't know how Qingwa could get involved with this? Still, she replied, "Cold! How is it not cold? It's almost freezing to death! ”
How cold is it? It's like putting someone in the fridge! It's still the frozen kind!
Qingwa continued, "I don't know if you noticed, but this chill in the dungeon is nothing to me! I don't feel cold at all! ”
Wen Qingxin said of course! What kind of physique do you have?
Don't look at Qingwa, who doesn't look tall, and doesn't have a body like a cow that looks strong like Hu Dazhu! But Wen Qing can see that Qingwa is very powerful!
In modern times, it is also an existence like a soldier king!
She had already seen that Qingwa was not afraid of the cold, but even so, she didn't think it was strange!
"You have a good physique, you have practiced! Of course, not afraid of the cold! ”
Wen Qing said!
Qingwa shook his head! "That's not the reason!" The real reason is that I'm from Snow Country! A place covered in snow and ice for many years! ”
"We people in the snow town are not afraid of the cold, because no matter how cold it is, it is not as cold as our snow town!"
I see! Wen Qing had a suddenly realized expression!
She didn't seem to know who she was listening to! Qingwa seems to have been picked up by Zhao Cheng in the snow!
"You were picked up by the old man in the snow?"
Qingwa nodded!
continued, "Do you know what we're most lacking in Snow Country? ”
Wen Qing thought about it, what is most lacking in Snow Town?
"It's food!"
The Snow Country that Qingwa is talking about is not a place with a name Snow Town! It's the name, and it's literal! It means the hometown of snow!
A place of snow and ice!
Of course, that kind of place lacks everything! But the most lacking thing is food! Because nothing can be grown in the snow!
You can only live on hunting! But even so, in such a cold place, there must be very little prey!
Without food, there is no hope of survival!
So the most lacking thing must be food!
Qingwa nodded! "That's right! The most lacking thing in the snow town is food! So every year, a festival is held in the snow town! ”
It's a sacrifice again! Wen Qing felt that there were really a lot of ancient sacrifices with a big head! And basically, it's not just as simple as burning incense with three heads and six animals, most of them involve living people!
Sure enough!
"The method of sacrifice is simple, but it is cruel!"
As soon as she heard this, Wen Qing had already guessed that she was not far from ten!
"Every year, the Snow Country will select a pair of boys! Throw them into the snow at a specific time and offer them to the god of the Snow Country, Lord Snow God! Hopefully, they'll bless us with more prey every year! ”
Wen Qing sighed secretly! It's a simple and cruel method! Such a young child, even if he was born in a snowy country and was placed in a place of ice and snow, there was only one way to die!
"That year, I happened to be the chosen boy! On the day of the sacrifice, I was thrown into the snow! Maybe it's God's favor, maybe it's my life! ”
"Your Excellency suddenly passed by that place! He found me! The girl wasn't so lucky! She's frozen into an ice sculpture! ”
"And when the adults found me, I only had one breath left! He carried me for a long distance! Finally found a place where someone lived! But what he didn't expect was this! This is the place where I was thrown into the snow and sacrificed to the Snow God! ”
"I've been rescued! But soon, they found out that I was in my arms, and it was none other than the sacrifice they had offered to the Snow God! ”
"Since it has been sacrificed to the Snow God and let him enjoy it, how can he take it back? Isn't this a breach of trust with Lord Snow? Under the wrath of Lord Snow God, he will definitely bring his anger to the entire Snow Country Clan, and they will not hunt a single prey at that time! ”
"After reacting, the people of the Snow Country were very angry! The sacrifice must not be taken back! ”
"It's like you're eating a piece of meat, the meat is in your mouth, and someone else has robbed it, can you not be angry?"
"They unanimously decided to send me out again! Send it back to the snow! ”
"And in order to appease the anger of Lord Snow Town, this outsider interrupted their sacrifice and deserves to be punished! Let's also dedicate him to the Snow God! Let Lord Snow God punish him well! It's the best! ”
"So the people of the Snow Country Clan kicked the adults and me out of the snow room! They are dressed in thick clothes! Stripped me and the adults of our clothes clean, leaving only one underwear! ”
"To keep us from escaping! The people of the entire snow town have been dispatched, and the inner and outer three layers surround us! They're going to see the Snow God take us in! ”
"I'll never forget that scene, the adult held me in his arms, his thin body shivered from the cold!"
"But we can't get out! There are thousands of people in the entire Snow Country Clan! They still had spears and bows and arrows in their hands, and we were surrounded by them like fish on a chopping board! They can only be slaughtered! ”
"But they didn't slaughter us! They want us to freeze to death! Because then they can sacrifice us to the Snow God! Not any other way! ”
"They also stuck to this rule, if they had killed us on the spot, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you now!"
"And how did you escape?"
Wen Qing was very curious, surrounded by thousands of people! People still have weapons in their hands, and they live in the snow all year round!
How can a boy and a middle-aged man escape?
Normal methods are certainly impossible! Beat? That's a fool's dream! Let's not talk about whether Zhao Cheng has practiced or not!
Even if he can fight ten with one, or even one against hundred! But you can't fight a thousand with one, right?
Run? Can he run?
The clothes are almost stripped naked! It's okay if you didn't freeze to death directly!
Qingwa smiled! After so many years, even when he remembers that scene back then, he still laughs!
Wen Qing said, "What are you laughing at?" What's so funny? ”
Qingwa asked rhetorically, "Sister Qing! Is it true that when a person has an absolute advantage over the other, they usually look down on the other person? Don't take each other seriously? ”
Afraid that Wen Qing wouldn't understand, he gave another example, "It's like, there's an ant under your feet!" When you raise your foot to trample it to death, do you worry that this ant will threaten you? ”
"When there was an absolute overwhelming advantage, I wouldn't have that kind of thought!"
But if what he wants to say is to compare Zhao Cheng and Qingwa at that time to an ant, and the clansmen of the Snow Township clan to a person, it is very appropriate!
They finally escaped, and the ants completed the counterattack!
Qingwa means don't underestimate anyone, not even an ant under your feet!
But Wen Qing didn't come to listen to his reasoning!
"And then?"
"Later?"
Qingwa adjusted his sitting posture and threw a small pebble at Song Xiulan, "Hey, don't be in a daze, the fire is about to go out!" ”
Song Xiulan reacted, let out an "oh", and began to add wood in a hurry!
Just now I heard Qingwa tell the story about their Snow Country Clan, and he himself was not sleepy, and he even forgot to add wood for a while!
One of them was fascinated by what he said, and the other was fascinated by what he listened, so no one felt that the fire had become smaller!
The wood burned quickly, and from time to time there was a crackling sound in the fire. This is followed by a very fragrant burnt smell!
It should be the bugs in the plank that have been roasted!
Qingwa flicked the firewood and continued, "We were almost stripped naked, standing in the snowflakes of the snow, surrounded by thousands of angry clansmen of the Snow Township Clan with weapons in hand, I gave up directly at that time, because no matter how you look at it, the left and right are dead!" Even if they don't do anything to us, we will freeze to death in the snow and ice! ”
At this moment, the adult suddenly spoke! He said he had done something wrong and should not have interrupted their sacrifice! I'm sorry for them first! ”
"But this is also the so-called innocence of those who don't know, and ask them to let him go, and as compensation, he is willing to provide a year's worth of food to the Snow Township Clan!"
"But where are the people of the Snow Country Clan? A year's food for the Snow Township Clan, how much food does this get? But there is still a small group of people who are skeptical! ”
"If he could really give them a year's worth of food for free, they'd be happy to let him go!"
He was asked how he would fulfill his promise if they let him go.
Then the lord told them that he was a military officer! The reason why he passed by here was because he came out to explore the way, and then got lost in this white snow, and happened to meet a child, so he gave a helping hand! ”
"Their garrison is not far from the Snow Township, as long as they are willing to let him go, he will return to the garrison, he will definitely fulfill their promise, they have a lot of army grain and grass in the garrison, and taking out the food of the Snow Township for a year is not a big deal for them!"
"Now the people of the Snow Township clan have exploded, and they are talking to each other!"
"The discussion is divided into two factions, one group of people thinks that this counselor should be released and exchanged for a year's grain storage in Snow Township!"
"The other faction thinks that he should be sacrificed directly to Lord Snow God because he interrupted Lord Snow God's meal!"
"Your Excellency told them to hurry up, or else he would freeze to death, and they wouldn't get anything!"
"The discussion became more intense, and in the end, they made a decision, that is, they decided to release him and exchange him for a year's grain storage in Snow Township!"
"They put us back on our clothes, but just as the Lord was about to leave for the place he said, the Patriarch suddenly stopped him!"
"What does he think the adults will do if they don't come back?"
So the lord said, they could have sent someone with him! So you won't be afraid that he won't come back! ”
"The patriarch thought about it, and was about to ask a few people to follow him, but he still felt that something was wrong when he thought about it!"
