Chapter 429: The Witch (2)
If the sacrifice is coming to an end, and the wrath of the gods is not quenched, then a cruel method must be adopted - the burning of witches.
At that time, deformed people with extremely ugly faces would be burned alive on a firewood pile.
Extremely beautiful or ugly people are susceptible to God's attention, so burning witches to death can easily reduce God's wrath.
If the witch has not been burned and has not worked, some witches who have sentient beings in their hearts will also choose to self-immolate and die.
Witches are the most perfect weapons, and they are extremely valued by the gods, and if a witch chooses to burn herself to death, the gods will definitely be moved, and the drought can also be reduced.
Since ancient times, the role of witchcraft has been very subtle.
They have always served the Protoss, but at the same time, they are constantly trying to suppress the Protoss, to the point of resorting to extreme measures when necessary.
In today's world, the gods are gone, and naturally there will be no great drought caused by divine power.
The climate causes a drought in a state and county, and it can be resolved by relying on the strong people of the beginning.
And if the scope of the drought is too large, then the clan needs to send artifacts to deal with it.
Therefore, the sacrifice of burning witches has disappeared over the years.
But the witch is not ineffective because of this, according to the witch animism, whether it is extremely beautiful or extremely ugly, it is born from the creation of heaven and earth, what kind of "natural spirit".
Jiang Yuan didn't get involved in the animism of witches, and he didn't know what the role of the innate spirit body was.
However, since the harlequin said that this kind of person is precious, it also seems that the value of this deformed person in Drinking Horse Town is much higher at this time, which also makes Jiang Yuan more interested in him.
By this time, the deformed man had finished burying the corpse of the knife man and began to return with his hoe.
And in the town, the calm before the duel has been restored.
From time to time, people taunt the deformed person, as if bullying the deformed person has become an after-dinner pleasure.
There are also some irascible and showy young people, who like to surround and play tricks on deformed people, and from time to time punch and kick them.
Whenever this happens, the deformed will clutch their heads in terror and run away desperately.
His escape was so comical that the townspeople laughed again.
Jiang Yuan watched this scene quietly, full of interest.
There is a common phenomenon in psychology called the "black sheep effect".
In a group of white sheep, a black sheep suddenly appears, and the so-called black sheep effect will gradually occur.
In the human group, it is a treacherous phenomenon in which a good person is bullied by a group of good people, while another group of good people turns a blind eye.
It is not appropriate to apply the phenomenon of this deformed person being bullied by the people of the town to the black sheep effect, but the situation faced by this deformed person is very similar to that of "Black Sheep".
Whether it is visible or invisible bullying, direct bullying or indirect bullying, it surrounds this deformed person at all times.
However, the situation of this deformed person made Jiang Yuan very satisfied.
In the short term, if he rescues this deformed person and changes his fate, then he will definitely be grateful to himself.
As for the long run, it depends on one's own means and the character of this deformed person.
So Jiang Yuan said to Xun Yu Zhuzhu:
"Go get that guy in, I need to talk to him. ”
Xun Yu Zhu Zhu glanced at the deformed person who was bullied by the young man, frowned and said:
"That ugly bastard...... Okay, I wish you will be obedient. ”
So Xun Yu Zhu Zhu pushed open the door and walked towards the street.
The proprietress of the inn came to Jiang Yuan's side and said suspiciously:
"That person is called a dog, could it be that the person the guest is looking for?"
"Dog......" Jiang Yuan smiled.
Dog, which means dog and pig, calls a person a pig dog, which is really a great contempt and insult.
"Please prepare some wine and food," Jiang Yuan said to the woman, "I want to have a meal with him." ”
Women don't have a problem with this:
"The dog has no father or mother, grew up from leftovers from snacks, and did all the dirty work that others did not want to do, and suffered a lot of coldness. The guest is willing to invite the dog to dinner, which is the compassion of the guest, and I will prepare it. ”
Jiang Yuan's gaze turned to the outside of the house, and Xun Yu Zhu Zhu had gradually approached the dog who was being beaten by the group.
During the beating of a group of young people, the dog covered his head and yelled in horror, and his barking was so strange that the young people couldn't help but laugh and insult him.
Two young men stepped forward and grabbed the dog's arm covering his head, revealing his ugly head.
Another young man seized the opportunity and kicked the dog in the face with his foot, causing his nose to bleed and his lips to crack.
The dog didn't seem to be beaten like this, he just kept yelling, he knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, only the worse the screaming, the happier the people were, so that their beating would not last long.
However, this time, I don't know if it was because the duel between the two swordsmen just now aroused the wildness of the young men, and they beat the dogs and pigs extremely hard.
There was even a young man who didn't know where to get a wooden stick, and he smiled:
"Pull his leg away! I'm going to break his eggs today!"
Immediately, a young man responded, and they firmly hugged the dog's two legs and tore them apart with great force.
This time the dog finally barked in horror, he knew that the young men could do what they said.
He struggled desperately, but the group of young people was so numerous that he couldn't move.
The more the dog barked, the more terrible it became, and the howl in his mouth was described by the young people around him as the barking of a pig and a dog.
Then the young man with the wooden stick in his hand had raised the stick in his hand and laughed wildly:
"You ugly pig, don't even think about getting a wife in this life, it's useless to keep this thing! Let me help you break it, so that you have less evil thoughts!"
After speaking, the young man raised the stick in his hand and was about to hit the vital point of the dog.
The dog's fear reached its extreme at this moment, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and even the howls in his mouth were carried into a crying tone.
At this time, a crisp and pleasant female voice sounded:
"You boring kids, get out of the way of Zhuzhu!"
The young people stopped in surprise and looked in the direction from which the female voice came.
When they saw Xun Yu Zhu who was gradually approaching, they couldn't help but have their eyes lit up and discussed:
"It's that pretty and lovely girl, the one who entered the town this afternoon!"
"Yes, it's her! There is another one with her, who is just as beautiful!"
"Such a girl is so good-looking, I have never seen such a good-looking girl since I was a child!"
"It's best not to beat their ideas, my father said, in this desert, the people who dare to take two beautiful girls are definitely not ordinary, and we can't afford to mess with them!"
"We'll see, and we won't do anything. Isn't it true that a woman is beautiful, and she can't be seen?"
......
The young people talked a lot, and they couldn't take their eyes off the small face of Xun Yu Zhu Zhu.
Xun Yu Zhu Zhu had already come to the young people at this time, and she said impatiently in a loud voice:
"Get out of here!"
Her meaning was obvious, but the combination of her pleasant voice and lovely face made the sentence seem to have no desired effect, but a different kind of beauty.
The young people around were fascinated by the beauty of Xunyu Zhuzhu, and they laughed and even whistled.
Although no one dared to step forward and be rude to her, no one thought that this short and delicate girl could have any deterrent effect.
Xun Yu Zhu helplessly touched the nails on his fingers and sighed:
"If it weren't for the master watching, Zhu Zhu would really want to kill you all and eat them...... I almost forgot, Zhu Zhu can't eat people anymore, otherwise he will change back. Hey, that's a real problem......"
Xun Yu Zhu Zhu's distressed appearance made a group of young people's eyes wide and short of breath.
At this moment, suddenly Xun Yu Zhu Zhu's little hand was raised, and a red shadow rushed towards the group of young people.
The young people were slightly stunned, and then they only felt a hot and sharp pain at the base of their ears.
They hurriedly reached out and touched it, but there was no trace of their ears, and only warm and moist blood was in their hands.
The screams of pain suddenly erupted in this group of young people.
They quickly found their ears and somehow fell beside them.
Xun Yu Zhu became more and more helpless:
"If you can't understand Zhu Zhu's words, then it's useless to keep your ears. ”
The young people, who by this time realized what kind of woman they were facing, cried out in pain and horror:
"Master! She's a master! She's a master of martial arts!"
"Run, or she'll kill you!"
"Wait for me! I'll pick up my ears first! Wait for me!"
......
The young men were so frightened and desperate that they all disappeared in a short time.
This is also Xun Yu Zhu Zhu is worried that he will kill too many people, which will cause Jiang Yuan to be disliked, otherwise where would these people still have their lives.
Xun Yu Zhu Zhu frowned and glanced at the dog on the ground, and after just one glance, she had to look away and asked:
"Can you walk? If you can, go with Zhu Zhu, the master wants to see you." ”
And the dog lying on the ground still looked at Xun Yu Zhu infatuatedly:
"Are you a goddess of heaven?"
But soon, the dog realized his ugliness, and he felt a strong sense of self-shame that he had never felt before, and hurriedly covered his face with his hands.
"Goddess?" Xun Yu Zhu smiled lightly, "Zhu Zhu is a demon girl!"
Looking at the goddess who had saved herself and laughing through her fingers, the dog pig only felt that the smile was indescribably beautiful.
Xun Yu Zhu Zhu was already reluctant to say superfluous words to this ugly monster, if he wasn't the person his master needed, otherwise he would have killed such an eye-catching ugly monster before, and he would have killed it quickly, and it would be impossible to even eat it.
She turned her head and left, leaving only one sentence:
"Follow me. ”
The dog was lying on the ground in a daze, and he suddenly couldn't help but cry in a low voice.
His world is full of bullying and scolding, and when he was born, he was born because he was a deformed child, which caused his mother to abandon himself and run away with other men.
And the so-called biological father blamed everything on his ugliness, punching and kicking him all day long.
When he was six years old, his father was also killed because he was drunk and inadvertently angered a passing swordsman.
After being fatherless and motherless, the people in this town even more insulted him.
But he wanted to live very much, so he went to the gutter every day to dig out leftovers to eat, doing some dirty work that others didn't want to do, and finally survived to this point.
I thought that this darkness would envelop him until the day he died like garbage.
Yet this goddess appeared, and her beauty and kindness dispelled all the darkness.
It wasn't until the goddess walked away that the dog suddenly reacted, hurriedly got up from the ground, and chased after the goddess.
