Chapter 166: Sacrifice
Xiao Pai asked curiously, "Then what kind of instrument are you practicing now?" Tomato □ Net○ ---.-f'q'x-s''.com isn't your body a snake?
Sanmiao glanced over, and Xiaopai always felt that there was a deep resentment in that eye.
"When you pinched me out, did you pinch it according to a poisonous snake?"
Xiao Pai was instantly defeated, and he looked at the young man's boxy head, his heart full of guilt. was about to argue, but heard Sanmiao add: "Do you know that snakes can molt." ”
Xiao Pai grew his mouth, "This...... You...... This courtyard should not be ......."
"That's right," Sanmiao nodded, "I've recently molted again, so I used it to add to this garden." ”
"So we're actually in your snakeskin?" Xiao Pai looked around again, "for some reason, I always felt a little hairy. ”
Sanmiao glanced at him expressionlessly, and was about to say something, when his expression suddenly moved slightly. Tomato △□ net ○ --'.'f'q-
"What's wrong?"
"Someone is coming. ”
Xiao Pai was still wondering who was coming, which made Sanmiao so nervous, and when he turned around, he saw Bao Xi's cold face, followed by a red-eyed woman with a gentle smile.
"Mr. used to be with Sanmiao, but let's find it easy. ”
"What are we? Just the snakeskin of this kid Sanmiao, when I rarely come in?"
Xiao Pai ignored Bai Hu's words and asked Chang'e, "Is there anything wrong with me?"
"It's not a big deal," Chang'e stared at Xiao Pai with wide eyes, "It's the annual ancestor sacrifice in two months, and Sister Little Frog just summoned us into the palace to discuss some corresponding matters." ”
Ancestral Rites......
Xiao Pai remembered that when he had just crossed over this time, not long after Youxiong gained a foothold, he came across this annual event. ○ Tomato --'.-f'q'x-s'-.-comAt that time, Yu Shun and the barbarian demon attacked and killed the bear totem, which also opened the prelude to the two-year exile career of himself and the bear spirit.
Unexpectedly, after two years, time seemed to return to yesterday, and I was going to participate in this ancestor sacrifice again, but my identity and status were the same as those at that time.
He thought of the girl, so he asked, "What about the bear clan?"
"Speaking of this, my sister is really good to that human totem, and just now I specially summoned her to the palace to meet her and discuss with her the regulations of the Youxiong clan to participate in the sacrifice this time. Yutu said, "Because the bear girl is already in Nuwa City as a totem of the clan, my sister sent someone to the Youxiong clan to announce the appointment of the new totem to them, and they sent people to Nuwa City to meet with the new totem, and when the sacrifice is over, they will return to the clan together...... Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Uh...... It's okay. □ Tomato◇ ''-.-f-q'x-s'-.-c'o'm" Hearing that Nuwa summoned Xiong Ling to meet him, Xiaopai's heart suddenly became strange, and he couldn't tell what it was like, he was called back to his senses by Chang'e, brushed his thoughts just now, and then asked, "You are so anxious to find me." Could it be that this ancestral sacrifice has nothing to do with me?"
"Sir is really clever," Chang'e smiled and patted a sycophant, "If it were in previous years, I, Sister Bao Xi and Sister Daji would have completed the errand." But after all, this year is a little different, the battle of Erhai has a far-reaching impact on various clans, and Sister Xiaowa means, let us discuss with Mr. and try to eliminate some of the negative effects of the Erhai War through this ceremony. ”
Belch...... Is this using himself as a counselor?
"Is Frog still with Spirit Bear?"
"Come to think of it, when we retired, we saw my sister take out the Nuwa Stone, as if she wanted to heal the bear girl. Tomato☆Novel.com '-'."
Is it to suppress the gluttonous blood veins for Xiong Ling? Xiao Pai thought of the little frog's sentence "Okay, I'll help you", and thought of the absurdity of the night that followed, and pressed his temples with some headaches. Neither Jade Rabbit nor White Tiger looked aware, only Sanmiao blinked, as if he had guessed something.
Xiaopai didn't know how to face Nuwa and Xiong Ling today, so he came to Sanmiao like an ostrich, but who knew that the news about the two girls still spread to him uncontrollably. He suddenly lost his interest in small talk, and after the errand of the sacrifice, he excused himself that he was tired, so he took his leave.
Out of Sanmiao's courtyard (snakeskin?), he did not immediately return to the Abang Palace, but walked around the city, aimlessly observing the customs of the world's largest family.
The Nuwa clan does not seem to have a well-established commercial chain, although in terms of the structure of the city, most of those who can be self-sufficient through the agricultural economy live in the suburbs outside the city. To the west and south of Nuwa City, the eight rivers of Lishan are criss-crossed, and their tributaries form a network of countless waters. Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land have been cultivated here, and thousands of generations of farming families have worked day and night to provide Nuwa with rice to feed the entire city.
Most of the people who live in the city are hunters who make a living by hunting. Every day in the city, there are hunting operations led by the demon clan, going to the farther desolate jungle to hunt for meat, and the prey caught is distributed to each hunter according to the personal contribution of the day, as their own day's harvest.
There is another kind of people who live in Nuwa City, and that is the patrol team. It was roughly the equivalent of the city police in another world, but the patrol was much broader than the police, and they were almost the only official law enforcement force of the era. Most of them are not even full-time, but are held part-time by many hunters on a rotating basis, and of course, the clan will pay some hides or food as payment.
They are responsible for maintaining some basic law and order, and also provide some management services for co-working places. For example, in the trading market, people who have been farmers on the outskirts of the city for generations carry large bags of rice and grain into the city early, and set up stalls in the market, and buyers who are interested in their goods will exchange other goods, sometimes fresh meat that has just been returned, sometimes it is a tanned animal skin rope, and of course, the general equivalent of the hardest currency is still a whole piece of wild animal skin, which is rolled up in bundles and carried on their backs or under their armpits, as if they were bundled into rolls of renminbi in leather bags in another world.
Since it is basically a state of barter, there are actually very few functional shops in the city, Xiao Pai only saw a ready-to-wear shop in the cadres, which bought some relatively well-made animal skin clothes and pants, and there was even a pair of shoes put together by two pieces of animal skin, despite this, this is already the most technical clothing Xiao Pai has seen in the world.
Maybe......
A thought crossed his mind.
Xiaopai knew that Nuwa wanted to maintain the centripetal force of the human race, and the exercise thrown by the Gonggong clan was like a vicious bait, completely pushing the two demon clans to both sides, and even Nuwa's deep-rooted dominance over the entire human race was shaken.
The shemale defense is too heavy, and he can't help it, but a unified monetary unit may have an unexpected effect on condensing the hearts of people who are somewhat scattered. (To be continued.) )
