Chapter 41: The Feast of Danger
Oops, hey. "At the junction of the courtyard wall and the hut, several men and women were drinking and merry, and a lean roasted chicken was passed in their hands, and each time it was passed it it was missing, and the man who got the chicken opened his mouth and munched on it merrily, which was indeed a tempting scene for a little girl who was hungry and cold, and Ugida, whose stomach was already rumbling, for yesterday she had eaten only one roast pigeon, and today she had eaten nothing. She was hungry and thirsty, and the aroma of the food and wine and the joy of the feast drew her strongly.
She took a step forward, and another step, until the men and women who were feasting noticed her, and a man and a woman rose up to meet her at the same time, gesturing to invite her to join them for dinner.
Ujida sat down at the table like a lost little girl, and in front of her lay a few baked cakes, a handful of salted olives, and a wooden bowl with wine, and as for the meat, she had to wait for the chicken to reach her. Don't look at the banquet so shabby, this is indeed the specification of the general Yi family gathering, only when the sacrifice to the Guru god, or the wedding and funeral, the banquet will be added to the feast, and the scones eaten are also dyed by the flowers collected by the slaves in advance, as for other varieties of flowers, the Yi people have not seen it, and they have not thought of introducing it. Most of the slaves they could capture were peasants from the edge of the fields, and they were no better at cooking than the Yi, so they sat on top of the gold and silver they had stolen, and were content with these poor diets.
But Ujida was a girl who had seen the outside world, and she knew that in the same world, there were people who did not walk in the shadows of the trees with swords and swords, and that the roadside was not full of wild trees that hid slave hunters, but that there were flat fields, neat trees, and villages that did not hide their existence, where old men and women walked freely alone, feeding pigs or watering vegetable gardens with fruit trees. Hawkers with all kinds of valuable goods walk on the road carefree, and the first reaction when they meet other people is not to lose their goods and run away, but to come up and ask the other party if they have the goods they like. At the confluence of the rivers, there is always a decent town, in which hundreds and ten restaurants have been opened, each vying to study the culinary work, and for a fee, the smallest shop can serve up to ten different dishes, from chicken to cow. They were able to do this because of the safety of the roads, and the butcher could go to the countryside every day to buy it, and transport it to the city to cut and sell it, so that if someone wanted to taste the beef, he did not have to wait for his neighbor to kill the cattle and feast the guests, and he could add a dish of beef in front of him for a few copper coins, and because the cook had cooked beef dishes more than once, the heat would be fully guaranteed.
"What will the Gruul God do to make that world?"
She couldn't help but ask the question in her head, and the answer was obvious, if the army of the High Priest had not been defeated under Twin Rivers, but had taken Twin Rivers, they would have brutally taken away the gold and silver that could be exchanged for things from the slave traders and were easy to carry, as well as the young men and women who could be used for slavery, leaving the old man and child to die. The restaurant cooks who were lucky enough to be caught had little chance to show their skills in Yishan, because the owner needed them to go to the fields to herd sheep, even if they were willing to let them stay in the kitchen, they would not be able to cook the same level of dishes as before—there would be no butcher shops and liuchen shops for everyone in Yishan, and there would be no fragrant spices shipped from Danxia Kingdom. Their craft is not used to roast a whole cow, nor is it used to bake the coarse dough cakes most commonly used in Yishan.
And there will be nothing left of those magnificent and majestic, small and exquisite houses and other buildings in Shuanghe County, and the troops of the Yi people also need firewood for cooking, and it is obviously easier and more convenient to remove a few ready-made doors and windows than to go out of the city to cut down trees, and the Yi people do not have any concept of fire prevention, as long as they live for a long time, fire is inevitable. At that time, the Yi people will abandon the city they plundered and burned to return to the familiar Yishan Mountain, leaving Shuanghe County to be desolate after this war.
According to the High Priest, this kind of behavior would go on forever, and countless slaves and gold and silver would fill the huts of every Tusi and Yiren warrior, and Ujida knew that every Yiren who heard the propaganda would rejoice at it, because they could not imagine that there was a completely different way of life, a life much better than theirs, that was about to be destroyed by their expedition.
Ujida shuddered, what was she thinking? She was questioning the Gruul God!
Everyone knows that the god Guru is their master, their protector, and that the god Guru bestows divine power on priests, and on the power of slaves for the toasts and warriors, and they rely on these to be in the mountains without worrying about food and drink. As long as the people worship the god Guru, the man does not have to cultivate the fields and feed the pigs, and the woman does not have to burn the fire and grind, all these necessary chores are done by the slaves who the Guru god gives them the opportunity to capture, if he does not have slaves, he should make a wish to the god, make a wish to the priest, and then go to the neighbor or catch a few outside the mountain, and he has everything, if he does not catch it, it means that his wish to the god is not enough, if he is captured by someone else, then ...... Then he won't be able to come back anyway, and he won't have a chance to give a bad review to the priests.
This...... Where did this last thought come from?
Ujida thought dumbfounded, not noticing that the men and women who had been pushing the cups and changing the lamps had already turned their hungry gazes on her slender neck.
A fat woman pushed the others away and offered her a half-eaten chicken leg, a large piece of meat that was not bad among the Yi people, and Ujida took it in her hand, and the meat let out a scream in her hand, causing the men and women who had been salivating at her just now to change color.
"Gruul God!" Ujida called out habitually, her mind cleared up, and she realized what a crisis she was in, and she walked into the disguised dwelling of the Yiren as expected, only to be distracted by other things, and not fully prepared for battle, but it was still too late.
She rose to her feet and continued to call out to the Gruul God, asking him for divine power, while her hands quickly grabbed the wooden bowl in front of her and slammed it into the face of the nearest "Yiren". (https:)
