Chapter 10: Peaks and Loops

Qian Yu didn't expect the development of things to take a dramatic turn again, he could guess that the sacrificial text was fake, just because he knew what this sacrificial text was, if what Buyi said was true, then Liu Banxian's changeable was also a big fool, and the villagers of Yunxi Village couldn't read the words, let alone understand the sluggish and tongue-twisting words in the sacrificial text, and it was normal to be deceived.

He wanted to tell the truth, but he still didn't say it after all, this is the evidence of Liu Banxian's crime of pretending to be a ghost, and he may be able to come in handy one day if he keeps it, and in his opinion, the lie is more convincing: "Of course the sacrificial text you chant is right, what you are wrong is the intonation, some words are Pingyin, you pronounce it as Pingyin, some are Xuanyin, you read it Pingyin, some sentences you read quickly, but some you read it very slowly, the sacrificial text is like music, the same instrument, someone can knock out a good tone, Some people can only make noise, and you, just the latter. ”

Bu Yi fell silent again, because he found that he couldn't refute Qian Yu's words, and the wrong pronunciation of the words could be corrected, but the tone is ever-changing, and Liu Banxian pronounced it differently every time, so how could he learn it? And he believes that if he asks Liu Banxian, the other party will definitely say that he is wrong, he still remembers that Liu Banxian's depressed expression after hearing his recitation, such an expression also appeared when he sold salt, mistakenly selling ten catties of salt as five catties.

Is it really my own mistake? If you waste so much energy, isn't it smart but mistaken by cleverness? Thinking of this, Buyi's face was instantly ugly, he just wanted to ask Qian Yu clearly, but when he looked up, he saw Qian Yu's treacherous smile, could it be this kid who played himself?

The more Bu Yi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, this kid was about to die, and it was normal to do some dying struggles before dying, and the recitation of the sacrificial text never had a flat speech, this is not poetry, pay attention to the rhyme of the battle, and he was almost deceived by him, so he snorted angrily and said: "A bunch of nonsense, the sacrifice to the gods is about sincerity, I just hope that the gods will thank us for our sincerity, and we will be blessed, how can there be a fast or slow tone?" You are dying, and you want to use words to deceive everyone and seek a way to live, don't think I don't know, Guzi! ”

"Uncle Buyi!" Although Xiao Hegu has been strictly ordered to be confined, he is reluctant to leave, he has to watch Qian Yu being sacrificed, and Buyi, who has always rewarded and punished clearly, unexpectedly did not embarrass him this time.

Buyi looked at Xiao Hegu and said solemnly: "Guzi, uncle knows that you have been wronged and dragged down by this outsider, and now the uncle will give you a chance to light the torch in front of you and announce to the gods that you are not in the same stream as this person, and the uncle can be the master to exempt you from the punishment of confinement!" ”

The village names on the side heard Buyi's words, and nodded one after another, although Xiaohe Valley is small, it is a good hand to find food for the winter, if he is locked up, the Hesui brothers and sisters will have a hard time this winter, Hesui has always been kind to others, and everyone naturally hopes that their brothers and sisters will live a better life.

Seeing that the situation was developing in an unfavorable direction again, Qian Yu's face changed greatly, he didn't expect that the old guy Buyi would not be fooled, did he really want to expose the details of this sacrificial text? But in doing so, he would fall into even greater passivity, and he tried to make a final struggle: "It's just that the tone is wrong, it's not what I said, it's God's will." Buyi, if you do this, you will hurt everyone! Don't believe him, I am a messenger of God, and I am fortunate to have heard the great god recite this sacrifice, and the scene at that time can be described as a fairy sound, like a dream, around the beam for three days, there is no best sound, only better sound, which is like the dry one you read, there is no rhyme at all. ”

Clinker cloth clothes are confident: "Okay, since you say that you are the messenger of God, and say that the great god doesn't care about the Yunxi salt well at all, then you tell me, why the salt we cook can sometimes be eaten, sometimes it can't be eaten, why when we carefully carry the firewood in the forest back, this situation is gone, if you can't say one, two, three, four, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"This ......" Qian Yu was speechless, he wanted to say that this situation requires long-term observation and experimentation, but he said that he was a messenger of God, although the level of the envoy was not as good as that of God, but it shouldn't take long to answer such a small question, right?

Buyi sneered: "Can't say it, right?" Then don't blame me for being rude, Xiao Guzi ......"

Xiao Hegu held the torch, looking at Qian Yu's eyes was unbearable, hesitated and hesitated, he still mustered up the courage and said: "Uncle Buyi, let's sacrifice in a different way, so much firewood My sister will take at least half a month to carry it back, and she is not at home these days, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on to the willow tree this year." ”

Buyi's face darkened suddenly: "Shut up, how can the method of sacrificing to the gods be changed if you change it?" Hurry up, or I'll lock you up right away and think about it! ”

"Wait, what do you say? Say it again! At this time, Qian Yu spoke, he looked at Xiao Hegu, his expression was very nervous, and his tone was also very excited.

Buyi said: "I said let him think about it, what, do you want to be with him?" But I guess there is no chance. ”

Qian Yu ignored Buyi's expression: "I didn't tell you, Guzi, you repeat what you just said, hurry up, hurry!" ”

Xiao Hegu said angrily: "I want Uncle Buyi to sacrifice you in another way, this firewood is all carried back by my sister, if it is all burned, she will work in vain." ”

Qian Yu interrupted him: "It's not this sentence, I'm talking about the ...... in the back"

"I said that if all the firewood is burned, it will be difficult to hold out until the willows sprout this year, and there will be less salt to boil."

"Yes, yes, that's it, you have been burning the firewood you have carried back, can you only use the willow tree to spit out the buds?"

Xiao Hegu nodded: "Yes, there is less firewood on the back, and the time to boil salt is short, if it was placed in the past, it can be cooked until summer." ”

"Then why doesn't the willow tree stop chopping wood and boiling salt after spitting out the buds?"

"You are stupid, all the trees have sprouted at that time, it's not easy to cut down, not to mention, if you cut them all down, what will you burn next winter?"

Qian Yu couldn't help but be secretly ashamed when he heard this, these people who took the most primitive tools to chop wood knew that they couldn't cut down indiscriminately and protect the environment, and then think about the future generations who would like to cut down all the green things for money, this is the gap!

"Then you started boiling salt when it was cold?"

"Well, although the land in Yunxi Village is barren, if you serve it carefully, you can also produce some food, there are fish in Yunxi, there are mushrooms, pheasants and rabbits in the forest, and you can exchange food if you catch it, and the big guy can't just live on this salt well." This time, the one who spoke was replaced by the old village chief who came out of nowhere, he looked at Qian Yu, his expression was kind, and he spoke more patiently.

Hearing this, Qian Yucai breathed a long sigh of relief, and he said to Buyi: "Hey, I want to know why the salt boiled in Yunxi Salt Well is sometimes edible, but sometimes it is poisonous?" Then put me down! ”

"You ......" Bu Yi just wanted to say something, but saw the old village chief smile faintly, and reached out to touch Xiao Hegu's head: "Go, put your big brother Qian down, I also think it's a pity that this firewood is burned." ”

Xiao Hegu cheered excitedly, and ran towards the altar with his legs open.

The altar is still the same altar, but the firewood piled up on it is gone, and only a table of sacrifices remains......

Ouch, he immediately covered his cheeks tightly, looking like he was grinning, damn, how many years has this chicken leg been placed, why is it harder than a stone?

He didn't eat for a night, and he really wanted to taste a few other sacrifices, but he had learned from the chicken legs, and finally gave up, and the delicious ones could not be eaten again now, and if he broke his teeth, it would be a big loss.

Buyi looked at Qian Yu with a villainous appearance, and the anger on his face could no longer be suppressed: "The kid surnamed Qian, you'd better say that you're ugly today, otherwise I want you to look good!" ”

Xiao Hegu originally wanted to follow Qian Yu and taste the taste of the sacrifice, but he had been greedy for a long time, but when he heard Buyi's words, he immediately held back, if he annoyed Uncle Buyi, it would be too wronged to clean himself up.

Qian Yu was not afraid of Buyi's hideous expression, the old guy had been tossing himself a lot, if he wasn't angry with him, he really couldn't say it, he looked at Buyi and smiled: "Do you want to know why the salt boiled in the salt well is sometimes poisonous and sometimes not poisonous?" Why should I tell you? ”

Buyi was furious: "Are you kidding me?" Believe it or not, I'll sacrifice you to the gods right away? ”

"Worship the gods? Okay, but what's the use? After sacrificing to the gods, should the salt you boil be poisonous or poisonous, and the yield will not go up or not, but it will be different if you ask me, ask me, and make sure that you can cook how you want in the future, even if you sleep every day, the salt boiled is also good salt! ”

"What the hell do you want?" Buyi is not a fool, Qian Yu has been chattering on the side for a long time, and he must have his own purpose.

Qian Yu snapped his fingers: "It's very simple, if I tell the secret, this table of sacrifices will be mine, how about it?" Don't refuse, compared to that Liu Banxian, the conditions for me to open are not high at all! ”

Hearing Qian Yu's words, Bu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that Qian Yu would ask for silver or something, Yunxi Village is now poor and can't afford to pay for it, as for the sacrifices on the table, although they are still reluctant, they are all ready to be offered to God anyway, and it is not so difficult to accept to let Qian Yu take it! He nodded: "Okay, now you can say it, right?" But let's say it in advance, if you can't say it, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

What he was waiting for was your sentence, of course he automatically ignored the latter sentence, and Qian Yu began to organize his own language: "I have always said that the immortals are very busy, and they don't care about this broken well." If there is a problem with the salt you boiled, in the final analysis, it is still in the salt well itself, and it has nothing to do with the gods, let alone pulling firewood and carrying firewood! ”

Since saving Xiao Hegu, the stone has been silent again, in order to save people, he deliberately concealed the cloth clothes, and felt very guilty. He followed Buyi to cook salt for a few years, and his deep feelings for Yanjing are difficult for others to understand, his parents died early, this salt well can be said to be a part of his life, listening to Qian Yu say that the problem is in the salt well, his first reaction is not to believe it: "Nonsense, I stay by the salt well every day, and even jumped in to repair it several times, why don't I know that there is a problem with it?" ”
