The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

After approaching the wall, he said loudly:

"I'll bet too. I guess it's the earrings."

Wang Weijiang and Wang Dongliu were almost asleep when they were startled by Wang Wuhua's voice.

This is the first time I feel that this room is not soundproof.

Wang Dongliu was half asleep, but he still answered Wang Wuhua loudly:

"Oh, I know, I know.

Go to sleep, we are almost asleep."

Because Wang Weijiang and Wang Dongliu often read books and write articles together until midnight.

Old Mrs. Wang felt sorry for the two of them’s eyes, and also felt sorry for the lamp oil in the house which was slowly decreasing.

So they just let the two of them sleep in one room and put a desk for them in the room.

When they wanted to read at night, two people would sit at one end and light two oil lamps.

That way the room will be brighter and less harmful to the eyes.

After hearing the reply, Wang Wuhua lay down on the bed comfortably.

Just waiting for someone to wash his socks this month!

I am really happy when I think about it!

The next morning, it turned out just as Wang Dongliu had guessed.

Wang Zhuzi harnessed the mule cart early in the morning and headed straight for Fengcheng without even having breakfast.

He is full of energy and looks vigorous early in the morning.

After harnessing the mule cart, he first told Zhao Lishui:

"Mother Daya, I don't want to eat breakfast.

I'm going to Fengcheng now and will be back soon."

Zhao Lishui looked at Wang Zhuzi's extremely excited state and felt a little puzzled.

It's just a trip to Fengcheng, it's like no one has ever been there, is there any need to be so excited?

Zhao Lishui glanced at Wang Zhuzi and nodded with disdain.

"Go ahead, don't skip breakfast. My dear said skipping breakfast is bad for your stomach.

When you get to Fengcheng later, buy something to eat, okay?"

Although Zhao Lishui seemed a little disgusted with Wang Zhuzi, she still did not forget to tell Wang Zhuzi not to forget to eat breakfast later.

Wang Zhuzi was moved again and nodded to Zhao Lishui: "Okay, I know."

After saying this, he told the three people who had already gotten up about feeding the pigs.

He was afraid that his beloved pig would become thinner if he didn't feed it in the morning. What would he do then?

He explained again and again to the three people:

"You guys go to the pig house later and shovel the pig manure, and then put it in the place where I specially piled it.

And the pigs must be fed well, never let them starve."

Wang Wuhua and the other two nodded. After all, they had done the work of shoveling pig manure and feeding pigs before.

They simply went back to the house, changed into some durable old clothes, and then went to the pigsty together.

After cleaning the pigpen, I can come back just in time for breakfast.

After Wang Zhuzi had made all the arrangements, he did not delay any longer and set off for Fengcheng in a mule cart.

Without stopping along the way, he headed straight to the clothing store he had set his eyes on for a long time.

Although it is still early in the morning in Fengcheng today, it is already very lively.

Wang Zhuzi wasted some time at the city gate before he entered Fengcheng.

Looking at the people around carrying shoulder poles and the vendors on both sides of the road.

They sell everything.

Only then did I remember why it was so lively this morning.

It turns out that today is Fengcheng’s annual festival - the Phoenix Festival.

Legend has it that Fengcheng was not called Fengcheng in the past, but Green City.

For a long time, Greentown has particularly advocated activities of worshiping mountain gods.

Moreover, boys and girls are used as sacrifices every time, as it is said that the souls of boys and girls are pure and are more loved by the mountain god.

Especially good-looking boys and girls, a pair is selected every year.

After bathing and burning incense, he sat in a specially made sedan chair.

Even the people who carried the sedan chair were specially selected.

The zodiac signs used are those that are determined by divination by witches and wizards and are the ones that the mountain god likes.

Then these people, together with the shaman, carried the three big and three small animals.

They were sent to the mountain with the sound of gongs and drums and all offered as sacrifices to the mountain god.

They prayed to the mountain god to accept the offerings and bless them with a good harvest and good weather in the coming year.

And none of the boys and girls who were sent to the mountain could walk down the dangerous and steep mountain.

They were all buried silently in the mysterious and dangerous mountains.

Until one year, when the boys and girls had just been sent to the mountain, the shamans performed the blessing dance as usual on the sacrificial ground.

There are symbols painted on his face that others cannot understand, and he wears special shaman clothes.

Colorful colors and ribbons all over the body.

The dance performed strange and mysterious movements, becoming more and more crazy as the witch danced.

Then a strong wind suddenly blew up on the mountain, blinding everyone.

By the time they reacted, the surrounding area was already on fire.

The fire was so intense that fire snakes licked everyone's faces.

Let people feel the scorching heat around them.

At this time, the witch knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, and began to scream and roll around.

The body was bent into positions that ordinary people could not do, and sounds that were not human came out of the mouth.

Then he said in a hoarse voice to the crowd around him who were already trembling with fear: The mountain god is not satisfied with the sacrifices they brought this time, so he is angry.

Only then will God bring down punishment on these disloyal believers.

After hearing this, the others all knelt on the ground.

They asked the mountain god to forgive their sins and wait for them to come down the mountain.

We will definitely bring the freshest, most beautiful and purest offerings to the mountain god.

No one knew what happened afterwards, but the mountain and all the people on it were burned to ashes.

Even many animals did not run down.

A vibrant forest was burned into a barren mountain.

People at the foot of the mountain watched the fierce and raging wildfire.

They didn't dare to take a further step, thinking that it was a punishment from the mountain god.

As long as you get close, something extremely terrible will happen.

They hid in the room trembling, kneeling on the ground and praying to the mountain god to calm down.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, even in places so far away.

People can still smell the burning smell in the air.

Wait until the fire gets smaller and is almost burned out.

Only people living at the foot of the mountain dare to run to the foot of the mountain to take a look.

As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw the boys and girls who were originally sent up as sacrifices.

Sitting at the foot of the mountain unharmed.

Even the clothes didn't show any signs of being burned.

Not only that, there was also a group of animals surrounding the two of them.

In addition to docile small animals, there are even some ferocious wild beasts.

Black bears, wolves, wild boars...

But at this moment, they all lay docilely at the feet of the two, with a burnt smell on their bodies.

The fur was burnt into pieces, but even so, there was no sign of it wanting to attack humans.

The two were wearing gorgeous sacrificial attire, with red robes covering their entire bodies.

There were also strange symbols painted between the eyebrows with cinnabar.

The sacrifices originally chosen were all good-looking children.
