Chapter 265: The Eldest Princess in the Pit (15)
Third Brother You's chest continued to rise and fall, his mouth was panting, and he pointed to the courtyard outside the courtyard to report to her: "Sister, I've found Daddy and Auntie, they are all in the first pit!" ”
The first pit is the farthest from the "giant pit" and the closest to the edge of the primeval forest.
At the same time, it is also the largest of the 36 giant pits in the "giant pit".
Mrs. You pressed her little heart that was so frightened that she jumped out of her chest, and asked with some annoyance: "What are they doing when they run to the first pit in the middle of the night?" ”
When asked about this, Third Brother You's eyes widened, and he stammered again with excitement: "Yes, there are a lot of sheep, a lot of rock sheep, jumping into the first pit." ”
"What do you say?" Mrs. You was so shocked by this fantasy that she almost didn't bite her tongue.
"The clan, the clan elders said that since the ugly hour last night, they have heard a lot of sheep's hooves, and those who are close have been woken up, and then, when they looked for it, they saw hundreds of rock sheep jumping into the pit with wheels."
"And then?" There was a little excitement and trembling in Mrs. You's voice, and her voice unconsciously rose a lot.
Third Brother You wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve and swallowed his saliva: "They all fell to death, the first pit is so deep, it is a waste pit that our tribe has dug for hundreds of years of iron, can you still die if you fall from the pit?" Sister, don't you see, it's all sheep, and the bottom of the pit is full of fat sheep! ”
When it comes to rock mutton with super strong legs and can run tiringly, who can not be greedy?
When his sister heard this, she didn't care about eating mutton, and there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in her tone: "So my father and mother left us in the middle of the night, did they all run to pick up meat?" ”
No matter how sluggish the third brother is, he can see his sister's anger, this baby didn't understand how his sister's temperament was so big, and said:
"How can they not see such a miracle that has not been seen in a thousand years? That's it, the clan elders stopped everyone from picking up the meat, for fear that these sheep were poisoned or there was something wrong, and let Xian Langzhong test for poison. There was blood inside and outside the pit, and A-Niang deliberately said that she wouldn't let Sister you take a look. ”
Well, she doesn't deserve to be so lively.
It's very angry!
was angry that her father and mother didn't leave a letter for her, which made her worry all morning.
is also angry that this body is not angry, he is young, he has a big physique, and he is still fainting blood!
Hundreds of rock sheep queued up in the middle of the night to commit mass suicide?
She couldn't see such shocking and fantasy scenes!
At the same time, around the first pit, almost all the adults in the four major families of the "giant pit" gathered.
Men and men get together, and women have their own circle of friends.
Daddy You, with the three, forty-year-old clan elders, sat in a circle.
Among them, the eldest patriarch of the Zhao family (You A-Niang's second uncle), who is also the only Wu Zhu in the "giant pit", sat in the middle of the four.
There were two basin-sized turtle shells in front of him, and he was still holding one in his hand, and he was using a cold iron knife to carve runes on the turtle shell in his hand.
I guess I've entered some kind of ancient and mysterious ritual.
Before long, the four of them set up a fire at a location he had designated.
When the fire burned to a certain extent, he placed the three turtle shells on the fire in order to calcinate.
After two quarters of an hour had passed, the sound of "porphyr" came from the turtle shell.
With the sound, the three turtle shells appeared cracks of varying degrees.
Seeing this, the elders of the clans hurriedly surrounded them.
stared at the turtle shell, expecting Wu Zhu to explain to everyone.
Wu Zhu, who was very calm from beginning to end, distinguished and distinguished against the burned runes, and his face was very solemn: "I have three trigrams, the hexagram is unlucky, it is a great omen!" ”
When the clan elders heard this, they were fierce and anxious.
Yuri, the youngest of these people, was the most breathless, his eyes swirled back and forth between the three turtle shells, and his mouth asked, "What's the bad luck?" What instructions does the gods have? ”
The elder of the Xian family didn't care about his wife's complaint, so he abandoned ignoring Yuri at the beginning, and asked again on his question: "Yes, is there a way to solve it?" Do you want to slaughter three animals (pigs, cows, and sheep) to worship your ancestors? ”
Only the elders of the Zhang family are thinking about it: "Can these mutton at the bottom of the pit still be edible?" ”
Wu Zhu stared at the turtle shell for a long time, and just when everyone was in a hurry, he replied slowly: "If you ignore it, don't take it, and watch its follow-up." ”
When I asked in a hurry, people turned over and over again with one meaning, saying that these rock mutton sent to the door could not be eaten.
Ouch, so much mutton, even if all the hunters in the "giant pit" go out, they may not be able to come back so much.
Say no, don't want it?!
Just as they were in pain, Xian Langzhong climbed up from the bottom of the first pit and told everyone that after his various examinations, these rock sheep were not poisoned, and the meat was very good.
The patriarch of the Zhang family, who was the most greedy for rock mutton, had just stepped down, and his face drooped even more.
No matter how delicious the mutton is, no one dares not to listen to Wu Zhu's words.
Among all the "superpowers", "divination" is the most powerful and highest existence within a radius of 100 miles.
In the tribe, whenever there are big and small things, the divination of Wu Zhu can often play a decisive role.
Although there is no national law.
Respect heaven and earth, worship ancestors.
It is the law and principle that belongs to the "giant pit".
Everybody obeys it!
As the sky brightened, the children of each family found the first pit, except for the father who was also responsible for the follow-up processing of the rock sheep, Zhao and other women returned home unsatisfied.
As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, they saw You Xiaoniang, who was screaming with hunger, which made the eldest sister and the brothers at a loss.
Erniang went to the stove room to cook porridge in a panic, and the whole family was still waiting for her to feed it.
Sanniang's face was red, and she quickly took the milk doll.
Xiao Jiu's eyes widened, and he looked at his aunt who was walking in the front in disbelief.
His family's empty-handed aunt doesn't know why.
The little guy pouted so much that he could hang an oil bottle: "Auntie, didn't the third brother say that there is a lot of mutton?" Isn't there any meat in the morning food? ”
"Xiao Jiu, my uncle and grandfather said that those rock sheep are unlucky and can't be eaten!" Zhao gave his children an explanation.
After listening to the on-site report of burning turtle shells and watching hexagrams for a long time, Xiaoba, who was holding Zhao's other thigh, held his little brain and melon seeds, and solemnly announced to everyone: "When I grow up, I want to learn divination from my uncle and grandfather!"
Do you have this ambition? It's a big deal!
His sister clapped her hands and applauded: "Xiaoba has to learn the hand of his uncle and grandfather, but he will be very powerful." ”
I saw the little guy nodding his head in a matter-of-fact manner, smashing his mouth while pointing, and touching his flat little belly: "When I learn divination, I will help the eldest brother ask where there are the most beasts in the turtle and turtle mountain, and let my sister eat meat every day!" ”
is a good one to apply what he has learned, and everyone is overwhelmed.
