Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Yang Sui put down the oxtail in his hand and stood up.

Seeing Yang Sui casually throwing the oxtail down, the young girl next to him glared at Yang Sui, then squatted down and carefully picked up the oxtail and put it into a long wooden box next to it. The wooden box was also covered with a layer of hay. The oxtail just fits inside.

Yang Sui laughed, "As for what? It's useless anyway."

A brief introduction.

Only then did Shao Xuan know that the young girl's name was Mi Yan, who grew up with Yang Sui, and is now one of the witches who follows Yang Sui, who also participates in sacrifices.

"I heard that your Yanjiao tribe went back? You came with the people in the middle?" Yang Sui said.

"Well." Looking at the faces of the two, Shao Xuan asked, "What happened on your side? Are you going to be kicked out?"

Yang Sui scratched his head, "That's right."

After being silent for a while, Yang Sui said, "It's okay to not be a witch, that's fine, I can live. But what's worse now is that I might be burned to death."

"Snapped!"

Mi Yan next to him threw the wooden box in his hand, and saw that the tail of the ox that had been carefully put into the box just fell out, and roared with red eyes: "How can you know that you can't beg for rain before you ask for rain?!"

"Everyone knows this." Yang Sui smiled dejectedly, "It's a matter of time before you get burned to death."

"If you knew this earlier, why did you lie to people in the first place?! Just say you can't ask for it, why admit it?!" Mi Yan was so angry that tears streamed down her cheeks, and she wiped it with her hand, regardless of whether the dust on her hands was wiped off. When he reached his face, he put the oxtail on the ground back into the box, shoved it into Yang Sui's hand, and strode out. When he ran out, he kicked the half-closed door.

Shao Xuan looked at Mi Yan who ran away after kicking the flying door panel, and then looked at Yang Sui who was standing in a dejected look, and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

Shao Xuan knew when Yang Sui was competing for Wu candidates. Observing the time when it might rain, then doing a trick, and finally overpowering the other competitors.

Yang Sui's face was uglier than crying. "Should I regret it!" Thinking back to the situation at that time, let's die! At that time, he should have confessed under the pressure of the leader.

See Shao Xuan again. It was rare to be in such a situation again, so Yang Sui briefly explained it to Shao Xuan.

After he returned from his travels,

It was true that he became a witch, but at the end of last year, a new leader took office. The leader supported another competitor. I don’t know where I learned that Yang Sui had “cheated”. As soon as he came to power, he took Yang Sui to the knife and kept looking for trouble. In addition, since the beginning of this year, there has not been a drop of rain. The new leader seized the opportunity and asked Yang Sui to ask for rain.

Yang Sui said it was difficult.

If it's someone else, it's fine, but the new leader wants to bring his own people to the top, so he publicly questioned Yang Sui's ability to ask for rain, saying that it was just a coincidence that he came across to ask for rain, not to ask for rain based on his true ability. He also deceived everyone and was disrespectful to ancestors and totems, for which God will punish. It hasn't rained a drop so far this year. If it continues like this, as the weather gets hotter and hotter, the land will dry up quickly, and the crops in the fields will not last long. After some agitation, Yang Sui also used Yang Sui as an excuse to deceive the gods.

What? Said that it was the idea of ​​the previous leader to admit it at the beginning? Pooh! You dare to slander the deceased leader, Yang Sui should be burned to death!

"He asked me to ask for rain. If he couldn't ask for rain, he would anger the gods and burn me to death to appease the gods." Yang Sui took out the ox's tail from the box. Shaking it casually, he continued: "Actually, many people know that they can't ask for rain, and they know it's an excuse. But there's no way, the leader has spoken. Moreover, under his instigation, many people really think that I can't ask for it. If it rains, burning me to death will solve the problem."

In the past, Yang Sui was able to take office successfully, and he was carried by the former leader. The former leader knew that there was a coincidence in Yang Sui's request for rain, but at that time he needed to stabilize the people of the tribe and an opportunity to expand his prestige. At that time, he put pressure on Yang Sui when he was going to defend himself.

"How many people support you now?" Shao Xuan asked.

Since the leader did not dare to directly burn Yang Sui to death, he had to drag on for such a long time, and there must be some scruples.

"I and the leader's supporters are more than half to one half. But after the day after tomorrow, probably no one will support me anymore." Yang Sui smiled bitterly.

"Ask for rain the day after tomorrow?" Shao Xuan asked.

"Well, I've been preparing for the rain these days. I've practiced a few times in private, and these ox tails are what I used to practice." Yang Sui held the ox tail and swung it towards Shao Xuan, "Yesterday one I broke the ox's tail, it's a new one."

"You want to use oxtail for rain?"

"Yeah," Yang Sui shook the ox's tail on his hands, "when the time comes to ask for rain, you have to hold the ox's tail in your hand. But this is just for me to practice. When the time comes to formally ask for rain, I will use another carefully prepared ox's tail. , was obtained by the supporters behind me, so it is not something that can be played casually."

"What are you going to do? If you can't ask for rain, you really stay here and get burned?"

"What else can I do?" Yang Sui spread his hands, "I used to think that I would run away if something went wrong, but I can't run away, my family and friends are here, the tribe is here, the fire is here, where else can I run? I don't want to be a tourist, and I don't want to be a slave. I'd rather be burned to death!"

The room fell silent for a while.

"When will it rain next? Is the rainy season coming?" Shao Xuan asked.

"There has been no rain in the recent period. As for the rainy season, the rainy season here is later than that in other places after the full moon." Yang Sui explained.

This is really a problem. The rainy season didn't come and it didn't rain in the sky, so Shao Xuan couldn't think of a good way for a while. Artificial rainfall? In this mysterious place, Shao Xuan really has no clue.

"Go back, let's blow the sand." Yang Sui said, "I can provide you with some delicious food while I'm still in front of the witch, and I'll have someone send you more water and food later."

Shao Xuan looked out from the broken window, and he could see the blue sky just now, but now it has become a little cloudy and gray. Dust began to rise in the air outside.

"If you stay for two more days, you can still see me being burned to death." Yang Sui laughed at himself. Holding the wooden box with the oxtail in his hand, he walked out of the house, "I advise you to go back early and go out less tomorrow."

When Shao Xuan walked out of the wooden house and returned to the place where they rested, the visibility around them had dropped a lot, and the sky was a cloudy yellow. The blowing wind was wrapped in sand and dust, filling the air everywhere, obscuring the sky. The people outside had difficulty breathing, squinting their eyes and choking on the dust from time to time.

For the people of the rain tribe, they are used to it, but for the young far-striders who came out for the first time, they are not used to everything. Looking at the dim sky, their mood is dull.

"I think the place where our tribe is is really good." Lei looked at the weather outside, closed the window, and said to Shao Xuan.

For Lei and others, they are willing to live in the fierce beast mountain forest, but not in such a windy, sandy and arid land, but for the people of the Rain tribe, they are completely the opposite, preferring to live in such a place rather than set foot in such a place. Ferocious beasts take one step in the mountains and forests.

"It's like this outside, let's go to bed earlier. Maybe when we wake up, there will be no sand outside." Tuo thought optimistically.

Shao Xuan is not so optimistic, Yang Sui said that it is best not to go out tomorrow, it will obviously be worse than today. In terms of astronomical phenomena, Shao Xuan still believed in Yang Sui.

As for the rain...

Rather than saying that the people of the rain tribe worship the water that falls from the sky, it is better to say that the object of the people of the rain tribe is the powerful force behind the "rain". And the stage of the Mystical Force" set. Whoever asks for rain, they think who has such power, they will worship with all their hearts.

However, it is unknown whether that kind of power really exists and how powerful it is. (To be continued)

ps: Someone asked about the rank of slaves. This is borrowed from the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Zuo Zhuan. Zhaogong Seven Years": "There are ten days in the sky, and there are ten grades of people. The lower is the reason for the affairs, and the upper is for the common spirit. Therefore, the king, the minister, the official, the official, the official, the official, the official, the official, the official. The ministers, the ministers, the ministers, the ministers, and the ministers. The horses are plucked, and the cattle are shepherds, waiting for Pepsi." The king, the public, the doctor, the scholar, the soap, the official, the servant, the servant, the servant, and the Taiwan, said that The ruling class is different from the ruled class, rank and status. Some people think that the latter six belong to slaves, and there may be only the latter four. Therefore, the statement borrowed the grade, and interested friends can search on the Internet. There is a lot of research and controversy about this. This article just uses the level as a setting, don't go into it.

ps: The reward list for July will be counted in these days.
