Chapter 008: Bonfire Festival (1)
Bonfire extravaganza
"Papa~~" Two crisp sounds, Pu Cao sat in front of the statue of the witch god, kowtowing on the futon.
Pu Cao grinded her body, "You're here!"
Silently, he shook the azure jade pendant in front of Pu Cao, and Pu Cao raised his arm weakly and took it.
"What's the matter! listless. ”
"Look at it, it's a big place. ”
"Aren't I here to help you!"
"This place is five or six times bigger than your pharmacy. It's just a day for the two of us. "The witch temple where Pu Cao is now is a regular witch temple. The so-called regularity is built in the same proportion as the size of the witch temple on Liuxian Mountain. Although there are witch temples in all counties, and even in every village, only places at the state capital level have the financial resources and manpower to build such a large-scale worship temple for a witch temple of this scale.
The scale of the Witch Temple can be imagined, and the Witch Temple in the Northwest City is simply crude and negligible compared to it.
Bu Si also sat on a futon next to Pu Cao, who couldn't see what color it was, just sat lightly, squeezed out thousands of grains of dust from it, and she stuffed the peach blossom branch in her hand into Pu Cao's hand.
The grass was bored and placed under its nose, but it was just a little sniffing. Then I ate it.
"Oops~~ Don't you can't help but stuff everything into your mouth. Bu Yu hurriedly snatched it back, and the previous delicate and lovely peach blossoms had become mutilated, as if they had been bitten by the molars of a goat.
"What now?" said Pu Caozui, tethering to the azure jade pendant tied to the black rope in his hand.
"For so many generations of your family, I have not found anyone lazier than you. A deep voice that hated iron and steel.
"Thick immortals, good~~" Hurriedly stood up without saying a word, as if he had been named by name. But her gaze was always wavering, because there was no one else in front of her.
But gradually, she found that there was a place where the scenery became more and more blurry, as if she was taking a breath of heat on the mirror, and the mirror became blurry and white. But Bu Si saw that the scenery on the wall became blurry, but the white gas in front of him became clearer and clearer, but the more he looked closely, the more he felt that he couldn't see clearly, what the white gas looked like.
"Don't say anything, don't help her. ”
“......”
"When my mother leaves, let you take care of me, and you... Take care of me like this!Woo~~" Pucao actually hid her face and cried.
"You, you clean the witch god twice a year, and I'm almost out of it. You can't even clean it once now! You haven't even moved out of your mother!" Houtian, who was calm and calm a hundred years ago and didn't like to talk, has now become an uncle.
"I told you last year, let you give advice to the three-armed commander, the witch god belongs to everyone, why do you have to clean the witch temple every year~~" Pu Cao expressed his unconvinced.
"The witch god belongs to everyone. Houtian's deep voice replied affirmatively to Pu Cao's half of the sentence, "But why do you eat all the tribute fruits and meat that the hunting team gives to the witch god every month!"
"Don't say it, don't say it~~" Pu Cao's face was flushed, and when she saw Sister Buyu hiding her face, she must have laughed at herself, so she immediately picked up the bedding on the other side and threw it towards Houtian.
Houtian didn't dodge, but he didn't say anything but looked a little nervous, and when the futon hit the opposite wall, something passed through Houtian's body.
"I only eat the things of the witch god, and don't do things for the witch god, I blushed when I heard it, and you still said so loudly in front of the statue of the witch god. Houtian then criticized the grass. Then a cloud of white gas dispersed again.
"Don't make a fuss, the hunting party will be here in a day or two. Let's clean up quickly, and when they come back, they will have to pay tribute to the witch god. Silently, he persuaded the grass that was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.
"Okay. I'm here for your sake. ”
Sprinkling, wiping, decontamination, cleaning...... It is said that the eyes are a bad seed, and the hands are a good man. After that, it looked like a huge hall, and the two of them finally finished cleaning it when the sun was setting one day. The two leaned back to back, sitting on the stone steps, looking sideways at the fiery sunset. The sunset is safe and steady, there is no warmth, only a bland and real sense of existence.
The summer is long and unbearable, and it is even more torment for Pucao, who wants to roast rabbit meat in the twilight. Time is fair for everyone. It's finally time for the hunting party to return.
Early this morning, the eastern gate of the city was full of people, who did not welcome the return of the hunting party, but cleaned a large area near the gate. Not for anything else, just to be able to clean up a venue for the bonfire festival that can accommodate 20,000 people.
Everyone brought firewood, liquor, brooms, rags, kitchen knives, high chairs, low benches from home...... Everyone in the bonfire is a foodie. Most people brought clothes and carpets ready to sleep here tonight.
The stove, campfire, and charcoal were all leftovers from this time last year, and as long as they are cleaned up, they can still be used. At the east gate, about five miles long, there are more than 200 bonfires, and the burning wood has been prepared for a long time, leaving them in Dongcheng District, just waiting for the bonfires in summer and autumn to come in handy.
Of course, there are a few people who worry about whether their husbands or fathers will be able to walk back safely from the wild forests full of wild animals. But most of them have no experience waiting for their loved ones to return. The hunting team had to go out hunting once every half a month, and it was divided into four squads, each with 200 hunters, and 800 people. These 800 people are all the best people in the city of Sick State. And the route of each of their hunting basically will not deviate too much, and there are thick immortals to give them divination before departure, to see that there are many animals in that direction, and the harvest is big in that direction.
In the past 100 years, hunters have been attacked by fierce beasts and injured, but there have been no deaths.
In the city of Sick State, the status of the hunter is the most exalted. They don't go out hunting for their own food, and they behave differently from ordinary hunters. They are not meeting the needs of survival through their own skills, but for the survival of 20,000 people throughout the journey.
Although the sick state has a large area of land, most of it is distributed in the outer cities, and now there are wild beasts overflowing, and it is impossible to go out to farm. Most of the land in the city was used to build houses. The chasm between the five urban districts of Sick State City has taken over a lot of places.
Most of the food of the people of the city comes from hunting parties. A total of four hunting teams handed over the prey to the commander, who in turn distributed it to the head of the thousand households, and the head of the thousand households to the head of the hundred households...... Finally, it is divided according to the head.
