Chapter 286: Asking for Rain (3)

Shao Xuan dragged the hunted prey back as the three of them for dinner tonight.

When Shao Xuan left, Qu Ce and Hongxi of the Yu tribe looked for Shao Xuan, Qu Ce was purely idle and bored, and he didn't see Shao Xuan, so he gossiped about these pit things of the Yu tribe with Lei and Tuo, and told them as jokes to pass the time. And Hongxi came to Shao Xuan to fight, but he didn't find anyone, so he left again.

Regarding the matter of the rain tribe, after Tuo and Lei listened to Qu Ce's gossip, they asked Shao Xuan again. Shao Xuan talked to them about it roughly, and he didn't say much, but the two of them also understood what kind of shape they were now, and they both expressed disbelief.

Why can you treat Wu like this? In the Yanjiao tribe, Wu said one, but no one dared to say two.

However, the two of them were not very interested in the affairs of the foreign tribe, so they just sighed: "Pitiful!"

They, like the rest of the group, didn't believe in getting rain here, and were just a topic of conversation.

When it was almost dusk, Yang Sui asked people to come over and find Shao Xuan to go out, as the witch of the rain tribe, Yang Sui was not good to come here directly, if he was seen at such a time, it would be easy to cause trouble to Shao Xuan.

It's still the same broken wooden house, but now there is no one else in the house, so I raised one, lit a fire and sat on the ground waiting for Shao Xuan. Next to Yang Sui, there is also a bulging animal skin bag.

Tomorrow will ask for rain, but Yang Sui doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, just more silent than it seems during the day.

"What's the matter?" Shao Xuan asked as he entered the room.

"Shao Xuan, I beg you a favor. Yang Sui pleaded.

"You speak first. Shao Xuan found a place to sit down and waited for Yang Sui's next words.

Yang Sui handed the animal skin bag next to him to Shao Xuan: "If I can't resist tomorrow, my father, aunt and Mi Huang will be sent out, you ...... Help......"

probably knew that he was asking for a bit too much, and Yang Sui was stuck halfway through his words. In terms of friendship, Shao Xuan is really not very deep with him. If Shao Xuan helps, he will directly oppose the rain tribe.

Without waiting for Shao Xuan to speak, Yang Sui hurriedly said: "Just ask you to help them leave the Rain Tribe, the river tide they want to target me, if the others leave the Rain Tribe, they will be expelled at most." Not to be hunted down. ”

Scratching his head, he raised his eyes and said: "If they are expelled, I hope they can go to your Yanjiao tribe, the fierce beast mountain forest, I heard that there are tourists following you." ”

Yang Sui stuffed the animal skin bag full of shell coins into Shao Xuan's hand, and continued to talk about his follow-up arrangements, talking about many people, but not himself.

Shao Xuan didn't look at the animal skin bag containing the shell coin, and asked, "There is no turnaround?"

Yang Sui hung his hand helplessly. "Nope. ”

"Maybe you can really ask for rain?" Shao Xuan said again.

"I hope so. Yang Sui pulled out a smile. He didn't believe it himself, he just said it casually. If he can really ask for rain, what is the new leader, and what is the river tide? Not only will he not be kicked off the throne, but he can also stand taller and more stable! But......

No way!

"Don't worry, if I can help, I will definitely help. Chirp followed. It's just that because of the sand, it's hiding a little farther away now. Shao Xuan didn't return the bag of shell coins. After receiving these Yangsui, I can rest assured. When the time comes, if Yang Sui's parents, relatives and friends are really expelled, Shao Xuan will return these to them and draw them a map to the Yanjiao tribe.

Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Yang Sui rarely showed a relaxed look, "Thank you!"

Shao Xuan waved his hand. Instead, he asked, "You can't find one way to ask for rain, and you can't find another way?" For example, change back to the earliest whipstone method of asking for rain?"

Yang Sui smiled, with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone: "It's useless." Let's not talk about the rules formulated by the ancestors that cannot be changed lightly, let's talk about the method of asking for rain. In fact, as long as you have that ability, you can do it right. If something goes wrong, it's the wrong thing to do. ”

Shao Xuan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean...... It's about witchcraft, not in those ways?"

"So to speak. It's just that the decisive point now is not witch, but fire. Yang Sui hesitated, but still said, "The fire of the rain tribe has a problem." ”

Something is wrong with the tinder? Shao Xuan was puzzled.

"The witch can turn on to ask for rain, and the fire determines the success or failure of the rain. Because the fire is sick, no matter how much you ask for it, it can't rain. I only learned about this by chance, when I found a record of a witch's private collection. They said that the fire seemed to be asleep, and when the witch was begging for rain, it could not wake it up no matter how much it screamed, and it only woke up once a year during the great sacrifice, and at other times, it would not wake up. If you ask for rain during the festival, you are likely to succeed, but it is not a dry season, and it is very cold, so the desire to ask for rain is not strong. Outside of the Great Sacrifice Ceremony, the fire fell asleep, and it could not wake it up, and it was impossible to succeed in praying for rain. ”

It was indeed by chance that Yang Sui found the hidden animal skin scroll, which was still buried in the ground, and it was written with symbols that only witches could understand.

"You can't wake it up either?" Shao Xuan asked.

"If I could wake up, I would have succeeded a long time ago, and I wouldn't have waited until now. Moreover, this has been going on for a long, long time. In fact, the purpose of the stipulation that candidates for witchcraft must travel is not to find any way to solve the problem, but the main purpose of this regulation is to elect a stronger person to serve as a witch, and only when they are stronger can they be more likely to awaken the fire. ”

Saying that, Yang Sui patted Shao Xuan and said, "Just listen to these, don't say it, otherwise the rain tribe will be chaotic." ”

If the tribe is in chaos, with the means of the current leader, even if it can be controlled, it will not be able to really control people's panicked hearts, and in the long run, the development of the rain tribe will become more deformed, and if it is stricter, it may slowly go to ruin. Therefore, those who know these secrets will hide them and die.

"Don't worry, I won't say it. Shao Xuan assured. Their Yanjiao tribe is far away, how the rain tribe is, it has no effect on the tribe at all, and Shao Xuan himself is not a person with a long mouth.

After chatting for a while, Yang Sui got up and left, preparing for the next day's death ceremony. For him, tomorrow's ritual of praying for rain is the ritual of death.

Shao Xuan also returned to the resting place with the bag of shell coins.

The next day, the sky was sand tighter. The wind and sand are flying, the visibility is lower, and it looks like a sandstorm.

The members of the group stayed in the hut except for exchanging food, and the weather outside was so bad that they didn't want to go out and eat sand.

Knowing that today is the time for the rain tribe to pray for rain, everyone has no intention of getting closer to the rain tribe, and at this time, the rain tribe's defense is even more strict.

"It's not lively, the weather is bad, alas!" Qu Ce leaned on the window, looking at the flying sand outside.

"Close it quickly, the sand is blowing in!" reproached the man in the room.

Sighing and pulling the wooden board of the window shut, Qu Ce asked the people in the room: "You say, the people of the rain tribe can really ask for rain?"

"Do you believe this? These little tribes just like to exaggerate and brag!"

This is not only true of the people of the Mang tribe, but everyone else has similar thoughts. They didn't really wait to see if it would rain, they took advantage of the two days to rest more, once the weather was better, they had to set off again, the road behind them would be difficult, and it would be difficult to find a place to rest at that time.

Inside the Rain Tribe.

A high platform was erected above the firepit, on which all the things needed for the rain ritual were placed.

They didn't need to worry about the fire in the pit suddenly bursting out, because they hadn't seen anything like that except at the beginning of each year, when the festival was held.

A lot of people had gathered around the firepit, and everyone was talking in low voices, some people were really praying for rain, and it didn't matter who the witches were, and their fields had a lot of crops growing in them. There are also some people who just want to see Yang Sui's jokes.

The people led by Hechao belonged to the side of the new leader, and their eyes looked at Yang Sui with ruthlessness and expectation. Looking forward to seeing Yang Sui fail to beg for rain, he was pushed to the fire by the tribesmen.

"Look over there!"

"It's nonsense!, how dare Yang Sui!"

"Do they really want rain? The rain god will be angry!"

The river tide followed everyone's line of sight, and saw Yang Sui wearing a yellow and green woven dress for the rain ceremony, followed by eight witches. And it was those witches who made the river tide almost stare out of his eyes.

They coerced and lured some people to leave Yang Sui, so that Yang Sui couldn't make up the witch of the ceremony, but they didn't expect that Yang Sui would take this step!

What about the flowing body, and the young and soft girl?!

Why are there several older women?!!

What's that?

Mi Yu's mother once ate a plant by mistake, which caused her bones to change, and her body was fat, looking like a ball. Even if she starves to death, she will maintain this fat appearance. The ceremonial clothes that were made overnight were a little wide, and they looked even fatter when they were worn. Although Yang Sui's mother is not so fat, her figure is also obviously different from those young girls, and she does not have that feeling of flowing water. As for Yang Sui's grandmother, not to mention, to that station, conspicuous.

The nine-man procession came out of a house near the fire pit and went straight to the altar. And where they passed, the people around them avoided them like snakes and scorpions, and some of them were slow to react because they were stunned, and after coming back to their senses, they also took a few steps back, for fear of being mistaken for something to do with these people.

Some old men in the tribe who thought they were "highly respected" were so angry that they almost rolled their eyes and fell down when they saw this scene.

How can this be true! Nonsense! What a bastard!

Is this fooling the people, or is it insulting the ancestors? Offending the gods is certain.

Oh, my God!

Yang Sui made such a fuss, if the gods were angry, would it never rain again in the future?

Some of them were too old and fainted because they were too excited, and there was another commotion.

The people who were far away couldn't see the situation clearly because of the wind and sand, but when they heard the news that came, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time, and after coming back to their senses, they followed the people next to them and scolded Yang Sui and his family.

"Burn, you must burn!"

"Burn them to the gods!" (To be continued......
