Original War

Chapter 284

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

Seeing that Yang Sui dropped the oxtail at random, the young girl next to him gave Yang Sui a glance, and then crouched and carefully picked up the oxtail and put it in a long wooden box next to it with a layer of hay. The oxtail fits inside.

Yang Sui laughed, “As for? It’s useless anyway.”

A brief introduction.

Only then did Shao Xuan know that that young girl named Mi Yao, who grew up with Yang Sui, is now one of the maidens who followed Yang Sui, and she will also participate in the sacrifice.

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

“Yeah.” Looking at the faces of the two, Shao Xuan asked, “What happened to your side? Are you going to be kicked off the stage?”

Yang Sui scratched his head, “I think so.”

After being silent for a while, Yang Sui said: “It’s fine if I’m not a witch, that’s okay, I can live. However, what’s worse now is that I might be burned to death.”

“Snapped!”

Mi Mo who was next to him threw the wooden box in his hand, and watched the cow’s tail that had been carefully put in the box just now fell out. He roared with red eyes, “How come you know you can’t come down without asking for rain?!”

“Everyone knows this.” Yang Sui smiled dejectedly, “It will happen sooner or later to be burned to death.”

“I knew this before, why did you lie?! Just say that you can’t ask, why should you admit it?!” Mi Fu was so angry that tears flowed down, and he wiped a hand, regardless of whether the dust on his hands was wiped off. When he reached his face, he put the oxtail on the ground back into the box, stuffed it into Yang Sui’s hand, and ran out in strides. When he ran out, he kicked the half-closed door.

Shao Xuan looked at Mi Gu, who ran away after kicking the door, and then at the dejected Yang Sui standing on the spot, and asked, “What the hell is going on? What happened?”

Shao Xuan knew that when Yang Sui was competing for witch candidates, he observed when it might rain, and then made a trick, and finally beat other competitors.

Yang Sui’s complexion was more ugly than crying, “I should not regret it!” Recalling the situation at that time, he was dead! At that time, he should confess under the pressure of the leader.

When I saw Shao Xuan again, it was a rare situation again, and Yang Sui briefly talked to Shao Xuan.

After he came back from the tour, he did become a witch smoothly. However, at the end of last year, the new leader took office. The leader supported another competitor. I don’t know where I learned that Yang Sui had “cheated”. When he came to power, he took a knife and kept asking for trouble. In addition, since the beginning of this year, a drop of rain has not fallen. The new leader seized the opportunity and asked Yang Sui to beg for rain.

Yang Sui said it was difficult.

If it’s someone else, it’s fine, but the new leader wants to bring himself to the top, so he publicly questioned Yang Sui’s ability to pray for rain, saying that he was asking for rain only by coincidence, rather than begging for rain based on his true ability. He also deceived everyone. The ancestors and totems were disrespectful, and the gods would punish them for this, and there hasn’t been a drop of rain this year until now. If this continues, 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 encouragement, Yang Sui was deceived by the gods as a reason.

What? Said that it was the former leader’s idea to admit it at the beginning? Pooh! If you dare to slander the late leader, you deserve to be burned to death!

“He asked me to beg for rain. If he couldn’t come down, he would anger the gods and burn me to calm the wrath of the gods.” Yang Sui took out the bull tail from the box, fluttered it casually, and continued in his mouth: ” In fact, many people know in their hearts that they can’t ask for rain, and they know it’s an excuse, but there is no way, the leader has spoken. Moreover, with his encouragement, many people really think that if I can’t ask for rain, I can solve the problem by burning me to death. NS.”

In the past, Yang Sui was able to take office successfully and was carried by the former leader. The former leader knew that there was a coincidence in Yang Sui’s begging for rain, but at that time he needed to stabilize the tribe, and needed an opportunity to expand his reputation. Only then did Yang Sui put pressure on it when he was going to defend himself.

“How many people are supporting you now?” Shao Xuan asked.

Since the leader didn’t dare to directly burn Yang Sui to death, he still had to delay it, there must be scruples.

“I and the supporters of the leader should be more than half to half. But after Houtian, probably no one will support me anymore.” Yang Sui smiled bitterly.

“Houtian asks for rain?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Well, I have been preparing for rain these days. I have practiced several times in private. These cow tails are what I use for practice.” Yang Sui held the cow tail and shook it at Shao Xuan. “The one yesterday. I broke the bull’s tail. This is a new one.”

“Do you still use oxtails if you ask for rain?”

“Yes,” Yang Sui shook the oxtail in his hand. “When I ask for rain, I have to hold an oxtail in my hand. But this one is just for me to practice. When I ask for rain, I will use another carefully prepared oxtail. The supporters behind me got it, so it’s not something to play casually.”

“What are you going to do? If you can’t ask for rain, you really stay here and be burned?”

“What else?” Yang Sui spread his hands, “I used to think that if something went wrong, I would run away, but I can’t get away. Family and friends are here, the tribe is here, the fire is here, where can I go? I don’t want to be a tourist, let alone a slave. I would rather burn to death!”

The room fell silent for a while.

“When will it rain next? The rainy season is coming soon, right?” Shao Xuan asked.

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

This is really a problem. Shao Xuan couldn’t think of a good solution for the time when the rainy season didn’t arrive and the sky didn’t rain. Artificial rainfall? Shao Xuan really didn’t know anything about this matter.

“Go back, Yangsha.” Yang Sui said, “While I’m still in front of a witch, I can provide you with some delicious food, and I will ask you to send you some more water and food later.”

Shao Xuan looked out from the broken window. He could still see the blue sky just now. Now it has become a little muddy and grey. Dust began to rise in the air outside.

“If you stay for two more days, you can still see me 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 avoid going out tomorrow.”

When Shao Xuan walked out of the wooden house and returned to their resting place, the visibility around him had dropped a lot, and the sky was cloudy yellow. The blowing wind was covered with sand and dust, everywhere, covering the sky and the sun. People outside have difficulty breathing, squinting one by one, choked by the dust from time to time.

For the people of the Yu tribe, I was used to it, but for the young practitioners who came out for the first time, they were all uncomfortable. Looking at the dim sky, my mood became dull.

“I also think the place where our tribe is located is really great.” 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 forest of the beasts and unwilling to live in such a sandy and dry land, but for the people of the Yu tribe, they are completely the opposite. They would rather live in such a place than set foot. The fierce beast takes a step in the mountains and forests.

“It’s all like this outside, let’s go to bed early. Maybe when we wake up, there will be no sand outside.” Tuo thought optimistically.

Shao Xuan is not so optimistic, Yang Sui said, it is best not to go out tomorrow, obviously it will be worse than today. In the sky, Shao Xuan still believes in Yang Sui.

As for asking for 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”. The rain is only a messenger of power. And the stage of “Mysterious Power” set. Whoever can ask for rain, they think who has such power, they will worship wholeheartedly.

However, whether that power really exists, and how strong it is, is unknown.
