Chapter 39: She's a Drag

"Don't be ashamed, do you think you can?" Erya said disdainfully, if it was really that simple, then the tribe would not have to worry about the fire being extinguished, and looked at the witch doctor again, "Witch doctor, let's hurry up and prepare the sacrificial things to sacrifice to the beast god, and let it give us fire, so that even if Xiao Yan can't borrow the fire, we can pray to the beast god to give us heavenly fire." ”

"Hmm." Although the witch doctor responded, she didn't have much hope, because the beast gods rarely gave them heavenly fire at this time, and even if there was heavenly thunder, there would be no heavenly fire, not to mention that there were very few heavenly thunders at this time.

Shen Xiaoxiao was not used to her either, and replied directly, "Did I make you believe it?" I haven't even started to sing about you, what, do you think that the tribe has no fire? Or do you mean that you don't like me and don't want the tribe to have fire again? ”

Erya said anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about?" When did I not want the tribe to have fire? ”

Shen Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really?" I thought you didn't want the tribe to have fire again, otherwise what would you do to stop me like that? ”

Erya was dumbfounded, gritted her teeth and said, "You'd better ask for Heavenly Fire." Although the others didn't believe her either, they didn't dare to say anything when they saw that Erya was all scolded by her, and that they had risen to the point where they were blocking the fire from coming.

But they didn't believe it at all in their hearts, and they didn't believe that Shen Xiaoxiao could ask the beast god to give them heavenly fire.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the witch doctor, "Witch doctor, can you let me try?" Before the witch doctor could speak, Erya said again, "Witch doctor, since she wants to try, let her try, maybe people can really ask for Tianhuo." The yin and yang weirdness of these words is full of meaning, Shen Xiaoxiao just treats it as the wind in his ears, and he just blows it.

The others chimed in, and they also wanted to know what she could do to get the beast god to bestow the heavenly fire.

The witch doctor was not hopeful, but agreed to let her try.

Shen Xiaoxiao patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and asked him to let her down, Xiao Yan carefully put her on the ground and said with concern, "It doesn't matter if you can't ask for it, with me, I will bring back the fire." ”

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and said confidently, "Trust me." "She can't ask for Tianhuo, but she has the wisdom of her ancestors, and if she can still make mistakes if she copies it, then she doesn't have to come out to meet people.

"Xiaoxiao, what prey do you need?" Although they didn't believe it, the witch doctor still asked responsibly, and Shen Xiaoxiao didn't politely tell her what she wanted, they were confused, they didn't understand what the sacrifice wanted wood to do, could it be that they wanted to use wood for sacrifice?

She's crazy, isn't she, their prey sacrifice to the beast god may not be able to send down the heavenly fire, she is not afraid of causing trouble to the beast god if she uses wood to sacrifice?

Or did she want to cause trouble to the beast god, and take advantage of this to let the beast god send down the heavenly fire?

No matter how much doubts they had in their hearts, they still prepared things according to Shen Xiaoxiao's requirements.

Erya looked at her with disdain, not believing that Shen Xiaoxiao could really ask for Tianhuo, with the attitude of watching jokes, thinking that if she failed later, she would laugh at her fiercely.

As for Ah Xiang, the others had complicated eyes, they hoped that she could ask for Tianhuo, but looking at the things she prepared, they felt like she was joking.

Shen Xiaoxiao ignored their gaze and asked Xiao Yan to sharpen the end of the wooden stick, while she peeled off the skin of the rattan used to bind firewood and kneaded it into a rope, and bent a relatively tough small wooden stick into a bow, and tied the kneaded rope to the two ends of the stick.

kneaded the dried reeds into velvet and used them to light the fire, Xiao Yan handed her the sharpened wooden stick, and Shen Xiaoxiao took it and made a loop with a rope to put the wooden stick on.

She took a bone knife and chiseled out a small stick from the wood used to make the fire, just enough to hold the drill, then placed the stick on it, pressed a board against the stick, and began to draw her bow to make the stick turn.

Originally, the people of the tribe looked at her with interest, but seeing that she kept repeating a movement, from the initial expectation to the later loss, some people even began to say cool words.

"She's playing with us, can this ask for heavenly fire?"

"Well, it's better to let her leave now, wasting our time."

For what they said, Shen Xiaoxiao turned a deaf ear and ignored it directly.

But Erya was not as restrained as others, and directly named her name, "Shen Xiaoxiao, don't you really think that you can ask for Tianhuo like this?" If you can ask for heavenly fire like this, then what is it for us to sacrifice to the beast god. ”

Although the others didn't say it, they obviously had the same meaning as her.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to her, but she kept chattering there, she stopped what she was doing, looked at her, and her eyes were cold, "What if I can successfully make fire?" How are you? ”

Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes, Erya was frightened for a while, and after reacting, she said angrily, "If you can succeed in asking for Tianhuo, I will apologize to you in front of everyone and admit that I am not as good as you." Xiao Yan being snatched away has always been a thorn in her heart, and in addition, Shen Xiaoxiao usually doesn't do anything, it's useless, so she is even more unhappy in her heart, so she will trouble Shen Xiaoxiao whenever she has the opportunity.

"Remember what you said, now you can shut up, and don't even open your mouth until I get the fire." She didn't care about Erya's apology, she just wanted her to be quiet now.

"Why, can't you ask for fire all the time, and I can't speak?" Erya said indignantly.

Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at her, and then said lightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely let the people of the tribe use fire before dark." "Now that the dead trees have started to turn black, they will soon succeed.

"What if you can't ask for fire? How are you prepared? ”

"What do you want?" Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly.

"I want you to leave Xiao Yan." There was a hint of excitement in Erya's voice, "I want you to never appear in front of Xiao Yan." "That way she still has a chance.

Before Shen Xiaoxiao could say anything, Xiao Yan spoke, "It's not your turn to take care of the affairs between us." ”

"But she doesn't know anything, she's just a drag, why are you so desperate for her?" Erya never understood what was wrong with her.

"Words are words, please don't make personal attacks." He added, "I have the same idea as Xiao Yan, I won't bet on my relationship with him, you can change your requirements." ”

Erya bit her lip and didn't speak, Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "If I lose, then I'll be like you and admit that I'm not as good as you." ”

Erya immediately said, "You are not as good as me, you don't know anything, and you have to go with Xiao Yan to pick it." ”

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled dumbly, "So, do you agree?" ”

Erya thought about it and agreed to the bet.

Shen Xiaoxiao put the velvet inside, and then began to turn the wooden stick, the others wanted to say something, but seeing that Erya was stunned and had nothing to say, they began to discuss it in a whisper, but they were not optimistic, thinking that she was just joking, and it was impossible to ask for Tianhuo.

Although the witch doctor was hopeless at first, he was even more disappointed when he saw her as if she were playing.
