Yang Sui put down the oxtail in his hand and stood up.

Seeing Yang Sui throw the oxtail down at will, the young girl next to him glared at Yang Sui, then squatted down and carefully picked up the oxtail and put it into a long wooden box next to it, the wooden box was also covered with a layer of hay, and the oxtail was just inside.

Yang Sui pulled out a smile, "As for it." It's useless anyway. ”

Here's a quick introduction.

Shao Xuan knew that the young girl's name was Mi Xuan, who grew up with Yang Sui, and now she is also one of the witches who follow Yang Sui, and she will also participate in the sacrifice.

"I heard that your Yanjiao tribe has returned? You came with those people in the central region?" Yang Sui said.

"Hmm. Looking at the faces of the two, Shao Xuan asked, "What happened to you here? Are you going to be ousted?"

Yang Sui scratched his head, "Sort of." ”

After being silent for a while, Yang Sui said: "It's okay if you don't belong to a witch, it's okay, you can live." Now, to make matters worse, I might be burned to death. ”

"Smack!"

Mi Yu next to him threw the wooden box in his hand, and watched the oxtail that he had carefully put into the box just now fall out, and shouted with red eyes: "How do you know that you can't ask for rain yet?!"

"Everybody knows that. Yang Sui smiled dejectedly, "It's only a matter of time before you get burned." ”

"I knew this earlier, why did you lie to people in the first place?!Just say that you can't ask for it, why do you have to admit it?!" Mi Huan was so angry that tears flowed down, wiped it casually, and regardless of whether the dust on his hands was wiped on his face, he put the oxtail on the ground back into the box, stuffed it into Yang Sui's hand, and strode out. When he ran out, he kicked the half-closed door panel away.

Shao Xuan looked at Mi Xuan, who ran away after kicking the door panel, and then looked at Yang Sui, who was standing in place with a depressed look, and asked, "What the hell is going on?

Shao Xuan knew that Yang Sui was competing for the Wu candidate in the first place. Observe the time when it is likely to rain, and then make a coincidence, and finally beat the other competitors.

Yang Sui's face was even more ugly than crying, "Regret shouldn't be!" Thinking back to the situation at that time, he should have confessed under the pressure of the leader at that time.

Seeing Shao Xuan again, it is rare to be in such a situation again. Yang Sui briefly talked to Shao Xuan.

When he came back from his travels, he did become a witch, but at the end of last year, a new leader took office, and the leader was supporting another competitor, and I don't know where I learned that Yang Sui had "cheated" at the beginning, and as soon as he came to power, he took Yang Sui and kept looking for trouble. Plus from the beginning of this year to the present. Not a drop of rain fell, and the new leader seized the opportunity to let Yang Sui beg for rain.

Yang Sui said that it was difficult to do.

If it was someone else, it would be fine, but the new leader wanted to pull his own people to the throne, so he openly questioned Yang Sui's ability to ask for rain, saying that it was just a coincidence that he met to ask for rain, not relying on his real ability to ask for rain. It also deceived everyone and was disrespectful to the ancestors and totems. For this reason, God will punish, and not a drop of rain has fallen so far this year. If this continues, as the weather gets hotter, the ground will dry up quickly, and the crops in the field will not last long. some agitation, and also used Yang Sui to deceive the gods as a reason.

What? To say that it was the idea of the previous leader to admit it in the first place? Bah! How dare you slander the late former leader? You deserve to be burned even more!

"He told me to ask for rain, and if I couldn't, he would have angered the gods and wanted to burn me to appease the wrath of the gods. Yang Sui took out the tail of the ox in the box and shook it casually. He continued: "Actually, many people know in their hearts that they can't ask for rain, and they know that it's an excuse, but they can't help it, the leader has spoken. Moreover, at his instigation, many people really thought that if I couldn't ask for rain, burning me would solve the problem. ”

In the past, Yang Sui was able to successfully take office, and the former leader carried it. The previous leader knew that there was a coincidence in Yang Sui's request for rain, but at that time, he needed to stabilize the people of the tribe and needed an opportunity to expand his prestige, so he only put pressure on Yang Sui when he was about to defend himself.

"How many people are supporting you now?" Shao Xuan asked.

Since the leader didn't dare to burn Yang Sui to death directly, he had to drag it out like this, and he must still have scruples.

"I'm more than half to half to half of the leader's supporters. But the day after tomorrow, probably no one will support me anymore. Yang Sui smiled bitterly.

"Ask for rain the day after tomorrow?" asked Shao Xuan.

"Well, I've been preparing for rain for the past few days. I've also practiced a few times in private, and these oxtails are what I use to practice. Yang Sui held the tail of the ox and shook it at Shao Xuan, "I broke a tail of the ox yesterday, and this is a new one." ”

"Do you want oxtail for rain?"

"Yes," Yang Sui shook the tail of the ox in his hand, "when the time comes to ask for rain, you have to hold the tail of the ox in your hand." But this one is just for me to practice, and when the time comes, I will officially ask for rain, and I will use another carefully prepared oxtail, which was obtained by the supporters behind me, so it is not something that can be played casually. ”

"What are you going to do? If it doesn't rain, you really stay here and be burned?"

"What else?" Yang Sui spread his hands, "I used to think that if something happened, I would run away, but I can't run away, my family and friends are here, the tribe is here, the fire is here, where else can I run? I don't want to be a tourist, let alone a slave." I'd rather burn to death!"

There was silence in the room for a moment.

"When is the next rain? The rainy season is coming, right?" asked Shao Xuan.

"There has been no rain in recent times, and as for the rainy season, we have a rainy season here after the full moon, later than in other places. Yang Sui explained.

That's a real problem. The rainy season has not arrived, and it is not raining in the sky, and Shao Xuan can't think of a good way for a while. Artificial rainfall? In this mysterious place, Shao Xuan really has no problem.

"Go back, Jansha. Yang Sui said, "While I am still a witch, I can provide you with some delicious food, and I will have someone bring you more water and food later." ”

Shao Xuan looked out of the broken window, and he could see the blue sky just now, but now it became a little muddy and gray. Sand and dust began to kick up in the air outside.

"If you stay for two more days, you will still see me burned to death. Yang Sui laughed at himself. Holding the wooden box with the oxtail in his hand, he walked outside the house, "I advise you to go back early and go out less tomorrow." ”

When Shao Xuan walked out of the wooden house and returned to the place where they were resting, the visibility around them had dropped a lot, and the sky was a cloudy yellow. The wind was covered in sand and dust, and it spread everywhere, obscuring the sky and the sun. The people outside had some difficulty breathing, squinted one by one, and choked on the dust from time to time.

For the people of the rain tribe, they are accustomed to it, but for the young travelers who came out for the first time, they are not used to it, and they are all dull when they look at the dim sky.

"I think it's great where our tribe is. Lei looked at the weather outside, closed the window, and said to Shao Xuan.

For Lei and the others, they would rather live in the Fierce Beast Mountain Forest than in such a windy, sandy and arid land, but for the people of the Rain Tribe, they were completely opposite, they would rather live in such a place than set foot in the Fierce Beast Mountain and Forest.

"It's like this outside, let's go to bed early. Maybe when you wake up, there's no sand outside. Tuo thought optimistically.

Shao Xuan is not so optimistic, Yang Sui said, it is better not to go out tomorrow, it will obviously be worse than today. In the celestial phenomena, Shao Xuan still believes in Yang Sui.

As for asking for rain......

Rather than the worship of the water from heaven by the people of the Rain Tribe, it is better to say that the object of the real worship of the people of the Rain Tribe is the powerful power behind the "rain", and the rain is nothing more than a messenger to transmit power, a kind of stage for the "powerful and mysterious power". Whoever can ask for rain, they think that whoever has such power will worship with all their hearts.

However, it is not known whether that power really exists, and how powerful it is. (To be continued......)

PS: Someone asked about the rank of slaves, this is borrowed from the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system.

"Zuo Chuan: The Seventh Year of Zhao Gong": "There are ten days in the sky, and there are ten levels of people. The lower is so the matter, and the upper is so the common god. Therefore, the prince and the minister, the minister, the doctor, the minister, the soap, the soap, the minister, the minister, the servant, the servant. Horses have a garden, cattle have pastures, and they are waiting for Pepsi. "The king, the prince, the doctor, the scholar, the soap, the public opinion, the subordinate, the bureaucracy, the servant, and the tai, indicate the difference between the ruling class and the ruled class, the rank and status. Some people think that the latter six belong to slaves, and it may be that only the latter four are available. So the argument borrows the grades from this, and interested friends can search for it on the Internet. There is a lot of research and controversy about this. This article is just borrowing the level as a setting, so don't go into further study.

PS: The July tip list will be counted in these days.
