The lead-gray sky was filled with fine snow dust, silent and melting, moistening the black earth that had dried up for days.

All the tribesmen of the Xixia tribe, men and women, young and old, all wore gray leather "coats" similar to the style of the lily robe, and a large area of gray suddenly knelt in the square in front of the witch tent, and the Xia Wu stood on a six-meter-high altar with a scepter to ask for the blessing and protection of the gods.

This day is a witch festival!

On the 261st day of the Dangba Calendar, she set the day of the witch festival as January 1.

If you extrapolate backwards, she should have been reborn in early April, time flies so fast, it's been almost a year in the blink of an eye. What she has experienced during this period of time is more wonderful and bizarre than her previous life, and the biggest gain is to get a home and ...... Friendship!

Tang Ba got up with everyone, looked up at the cold water falling in the sky, and then looked at Zhanma and Kanga around him, and his heart was extremely stable.

There was a sudden commotion in front of the procession, and there were fifty Xixia people standing outside the witch tent.

Xia Wu had already come down from the altar, and there were four other people in khaki robes standing beside him, without a tank.

When Tang Bazheng wondered where these four people came from, Xia Wu spoke.

"Tribesmen of Xixia, you are the gods selected by the gods, you will follow the messenger to the Wu Tower, you must serve the gods wholeheartedly, dedicate your flesh and soul in order to get the favor of the gods, become a god, become a witch, the gods will bless you!"

Fifty god-attendants knelt on the ground and chanted together, "Thank you." ”

At this time, Tank came out of the witch tent with a girl, who was undoubtedly the sacrifice of the witch sacrifice, and the patriarch also led a group of slaves to push the "ice coffin" of the deceased to gather in the square.

Four messengers dressed in khaki robes led the offerings, one carried the body of the deceased, and the other two led ten others and the other forty priests to the outside of the tribe.

The four "horse-on" carts parked outside the Hisha tribe had been waiting for a long time, the one where the sacrifice was going was the smallest, the ten of the priests were on the larger one, and the car with the remains was the largest, and the car carrying the forty priests drove south first—Davis.

Tumba was surprised and puzzled, surprised that she didn't know when the cart had come, second, she didn't expect that there really was a car in this world, and then there was the hunting beast that pulled the cart, and it was the beast with a triangular head like a deer and a horse that she and Kanga had hunted.

Puzzled as to why the same gods had to go separately, the carts of the sacrifices and the ten gods were speeding towards the northwest, in the direction of Zang Wolf.

"Atul is the one who sits. Kanga snorted in a northwesterly direction, "Eminem has been worried that Atul might not have made it to the Witch Tower. ”

Tang Ba was even more confused when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Yingzhi.

Yingzhi's eyes followed the car that was heading for Zang Wolf, and it wasn't until Jhama touched her lightly that she withdrew her gaze with a wry smile.

After sending off the messenger's vehicle, the Hixia people, some laughing, some sobbing softly, and some insensitive, all went to their tents.

Witch sacrifice, Tang Ba's understanding is the "year" of the previous life, but the "year" here is not as grand as the hunting day, and it is plain and has no taste.

Tang Ba always felt that there was something shortcoming, returned to the tent and began to busily prepare for the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner", she didn't care what other tents were like, closed the "door" to live her own life, always have a little New Year's flavor!

Zhanma and Yingzhi were indeed driven by Tang Ba's excitement and blindly joined in. Only Kanga asked, and Tang Ba's answer was that everyone had a witch sacrifice to celebrate!

The small fire pond that rose in the tent exuded warmth diligently, instantly melting the cold air that Yingzhi brought in when he opened the tent curtain.

Eieda was holding a leather bag in his arms, which contained the red rice that Tang Ba had cooked in the "secret base" before, and Zhanma was stirring the hunting beast meat that was being cooked in the pot with a wooden spoon, and Eizhi glanced into the pot and threw the red rice into it.

As long as the raw materials are rich enough, women seem to be born with how to use them, and this "bacon" red rice porridge is not Tang Ba's idea, it was Yingzhi who came up with it.

"Anything else?" asked Jhamma.

"Yes. Yingzhi sat down next to the small fire pit and rubbed her hands, "I went to the ground just now...... Earth...... Ah Tang, what's it called?"

"Cellar. Tang Ba replied without raising her head, she was marinating the red chicken in jam and stuffing the red rice into the red chicken's belly to roast it for a while.

In order to hide the food, Tang Ba asked Kanga to dig a cellar two meters high and one meter wide in both tents, cover them with wooden boards, and then spread a layer of soil, as long as they do not knock on the ground, they will never find that there is actually something else in the tent.

"Yes, the cellar. Yingzhi smiled and said, "There are also 2 leather bags of red rice, and there are also hunting beast meat." ”

"Ah Tang, can you take a look?" Kanga handed Tang Ba a polished piece of almost oval-shaped hunting horn.

Tang Ba tilted his head and looked at it, and then stretched out his hand to compare the size of the triangular pyramid stone, "It's okay." She plans to hide the triangular pyramid stone into the horn to make a pendant, and then string it with the animal bone to form a necklace to carry around, "You can make a hole." ”

"Good. "Kanga continues to work hard, this kind of work is very laborious, but also careful and patient, fortunately, Kanga has it.

"The red rice that Ah Tang found is really delicious, and he is still full, and I am still worried about how Bai Han will live, so it will be fine now. Yingzhi pointed out of the tent, "There are many tents that can't be eaten, witch sacrifices don't hunt beasts, I just saw several tents go to the Broken Star Forest, hey!"

Zhanma also sighed, "It's better to be a witch sacrifice where Lan Gewu is here, how can there ever be such a time." ”

Speaking of Lan Ge, Tang Ba suddenly realized a question, if Wu Ta sent envoys to various tribes to pick up people every year, why didn't he find out that Lan Ge was a fake witch? Or was there another reason?

"How did the witch festival take place when Lan Gewu was here?" asked Tang Ba casually.

"The patriarch took the people to sacrifice to the gods, Arashi Witch ......" Eizhi recalled, "Arashi Witch would go out during the witch festival, and he would return to the tribe after many days. ”

Tang Ba's subordinates continued to ask, "Is it also the patriarch who came to the tribe to pick up the gods?"

"Yes, Zhigan is like this. Yingzhi replied as a matter of course, thought for a while and continued: "After Lan Gewu left, it won't be like this, it's all the clan witches who came forward. ”

Tang Ba's mind was spinning: every time before and after the witch festival, that is, when the envoy went to the tribe, Lan Ge was not in Xixia, which was obviously deliberately avoiding meeting with the people of the Wu Tower!

She remembered that Eminem had said that the Wu Tower only began to ask for sacrifices after Lan Ge left Xixia, and the main condition for the clan witch to choose the sacrifice was to be similar to Lan Ge's appearance, which means that the sacrifice was just a rhetoric, in fact, what Wu Ta really wanted to find was Lan Ge himself!
