City-state of Tikal.

Mi Bao appeared out of nowhere in the yard, shook his fur, and walked into the house.

"Boss, you don't trust him?"

"It's impossible to trust."

"But...he was the only person who opened the game within a year. And now it seems...he has nothing to do with them."

Huo Qin was speechless.This may be his only, life-saving straw.

However, there is no intersection?What if it's a false impression?

"Boss, there is actually another reason." Mi Bao climbed onto Huo Qin's shoulder and whispered something in his ear.

---------------------------------------

Ma Xiaorui's goods are actually selling well.It doesn't matter if you don't know the price. He told the people who came to choose the goods that there is no clearly marked price, so you can just give it as you see.

When he closed the stall in the evening, he unexpectedly found that he already had a small bag of cocoa beans, and most of the goods on the ground were gone.

Satisfied, he bent down and put away the goods.But when he straightened up again, there were three burly men standing in front of him.

Looking bad.

Ma Xiaorui was stunned, and said calmly, "Shopping?"

Big guy: "Buy a fart!"

One minute later, the leader of the big man swung a knife, and one of the other two left with a small bag of cocoa beans earned by Ma Xiaorui.

Looking at the backs of those three people, Ma Xiaorui cursed, "Fuck you fucking".

The bazaar was already sparsely populated, and the few remaining vendors saw the whole process, but there was no pity or sympathy in their eyes.

Ma Xiaorui sighed.

He gave the money to the local snake so happily, not only because he was threatened and couldn't beat him.Another reason is that I have just arrived, but the business is good, and I am in the way of other people's business.

He kicked the wall to vent his anger, then looked around, only a few children were playing.

With a flash in his eyes, he took out two cocoa beans from the small pocket on his waist.

This is his stock.

Should be enough to buy a corn cob for dinner...

However, the so-called "misfortunes never come singly" is exactly the case.

Suddenly being bumped from behind, Ma Xiaorui staggered and almost fell, but the cocoa beans in his hand flew out.A child screamed and ran to the front, and the one behind caught up, but bent down suddenly, picked up the beans on the ground, and ran forward quickly.

Ma Xiaorui: "!!!"

"Hey! You two come back to me!" He chased out.However, he was concerned about the goods scattered all over the floor, and stopped after a few steps.

The bear child ran away without a trace.

...I have nothing to eat tonight.

Ma Xiaorui stood blankly for a while, silently put away all the things on the ground, and tied the mouth of the bag tightly.Then, without warning, he slammed the whole bag to the ground.

He sat down dejectedly.

There was a stand of boiled corn in the distance. He took a hat to try his luck, but was scolded by the stall owner: "Get out."

Ma Xiaorui felt a little sad after her stomach protested for a while.Even the eye circles are a little red.

On the first day when I came to Maya, I got off to a bad start.

And, the sky and the earth are big, not as big as rice.

very hungry……

A sharp "clang" pulled him out of his grievance.

"Recruitment for the basketball game!" The person came with a few followers, and knocked on the gong again: "If you want to report, hurry up!"

"Basketball tricks—"

"Brother, are you in charge of the food?" Ma Xiaorui raised his head and asked him.

The man glanced at him and said, "Take care."

So, they didn't ask where they came from, what they did, what kind of basketball game... Ma Xiaorui took a pen and signed an agreement.

He read it, and what was written on the paper was nothing more than taking no responsibility for any safety issues.

However, he didn't notice that the whole market fell silent, and the person selling boiled corn had disappeared.Since...these people came over.

Ma Xiaorui had his first meal after coming to Maya.

Literally, it tastes good.Ma Xiaorui also has a good appetite.

However, what puzzled him was that none of the others had such a good appetite as his.Most of them put it down after taking a few bites, and then start drinking soup.Or they just stood there in a daze, or even put down the bowl and walked into the room.

All the people around the dinner table are tomorrow's teammates or opponents, but they eat in silence after a meal, which is extremely embarrassing.

Only a young man named Xu Er ate with Ma Xiaorui to the end.But look at his face, pale as paper.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Ma Xiaorui leaned forward and asked.

"No, no." Xu Er glanced at him and said.

"Ma Xiaorui." He stretched out a hand.

The thin young man put down the cake in his hand, held it up, and let go after a moment.

Sweaty palms, cold palms.

Ma Xiaorui: "Are you nervous?"

"Aren't you nervous?" Xu Er asked back.

Ma Xiaorui smiled: "Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Why are you nervous?"

Xu Er suddenly changed his face: "Are you from another place?"

Ma Xiaorui nodded, seeing that he was really in a bad state, and said: "Why don't you go to the house to rest earlier?"

Xu Er hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.

At night, Ma Xiaorui was lying on the bed, thinking carefully about what Xu Er said, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Isn't it just a basketball game?Isn't it just for entertainment?Will there be punishment after losing?

"You guessed it right."

Ma Xiaorui shuddered and sat up abruptly.

Someone in front of him snapped his fingers, and then, the oil lamp on the table lit up.

Mi Bao sat on his bed.

Eyes on each other.A few seconds later, Mi Bao couldn't bear it first: "Ma Xiaorui, you are really brave."

Ma Xiaorui: "???"

"Do you know what this ball game is for? Do you remember that this is Maya? You just participate? Tell you directly, the loser will be used as a human sacrifice."

Ma Xiaorui was stunned: "What?"

Huo Qin's words came to mind: Palenque is a state of etiquette, with many sacrifices...

Sacrifice... many... many...

Sacrifice, employ people...

"Wait for Mi Bao!" Ma Xiaorui stretched out a hand, grinning and leaned over: "Then can you take me out?"

Mi Bao: "That is forcibly changing the game plot, and my life will be in danger. Once something happens to me, the game will crash. If you can't fix it, you will never be able to return to reality."

Ma Xiaorui: "..."

"Then if I lose the game and get killed, will I return to reality?"

"meeting."

Ma Xiaorui breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you will be disemboweled first." Mi Bao narrowed his eyes and added: "You can't live, you can't die. The priest will smear your blood on his face, and then dig out your internal organs. After that, your skin will be ripped apart, and the corpse will—”

"Stop!" Ma Xiaorui covered his eyes and stopped: "I, I, I win."

"Then I'll tell you the rules of the game." Mi Baoyang shook his chin and flicked his tail.

"There are walls on all sides of the court, and there are two stone rings on each wall, which are the baskets. There are eight baskets in total, half on one side."

"The ball is a rubber ball. You can't touch it with your hands during the game. You can only touch it with your knees and buttocks. Yes, you heard it right, just use your knees and buttocks..."

"As long as a goal is scored, the game is over. But winning or losing is counted by the number of fouls. So, you must not touch the ball with your hands..."

Ma Xiaorui: "..."

A person who is used to playing modern basketball, now you tell him not to touch the ball with his hands.It's like telling an old hen not to lay eggs...

The whole night, Ma Xiaorui slept very restlessly.Before leaving, Mi Bao sincerely put his paw on his shoulder and said: "I hope you can win". This image lingered in his mind, and even penetrated into his dreams.

He woke up at dawn.I ran to the yard to practice high leg lifts, and pouted my butt from time to time.

After a simple breakfast, everyone was taken to the field.They were randomly divided into two teams.Ma Xiaorui happened to be on the same team as Xu Er.

He looked at Xu Er's face was still calm, and he couldn't think of any words of comfort.In fact, even he himself doesn't know what to do now.

After a gong sounded, the game officially started.

The opponent takes control of the ball first, and desperately pushes the ball toward the palms or feet of players of his own team, forcing fouls.

Ma Xiaorui was very unaccustomed to this way of passing the ball, so he jumped and dribbled with his legs high.It is true that he practiced early in the morning, but because he was not playing well, every time the ball came to him, he would be snatched away by the opponent soon...

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the morning sun gradually became more and more poisonous.The gong was repeatedly sounded on the sidelines, which represented a foul.The score on the counting board is long, and there are many on both sides.

No one scored.

Ma Xiaorui wiped the sweat off his brow.

"Xiao Rui!" Xu Er yelled, and he turned his head to see that the ball was flying towards him.

In desperation, he subconsciously raised his hand to pick it up.The moment he stretched out his hand, it was almost replaced by his knee.

However, the fingertips still touched the ball.

The gong on the sidelines rang again.Ma Xiaorui was very annoyed.He couldn't remember the first time he had made this mistake.

The score on the scoreboard is constantly refreshed.No one wants to be the one with the highest score, and the flipping sign is like a drumbeat to remind one's life.

It was almost noon, and the air was so hot that the water was about to evaporate.There were even three or two spectators on the sidelines, cheering from time to time.

Ma Xiaorui was running desperately. Whether he played the ball smoothly or not is one thing. The point is, on the current court, everyone's body is reaching its limit...

In Ma Xiaorui's team, someone got the ball again.They leaned against each other and transported to each other's stone ring, wanting to end the game quickly.However, in the middle, it was snatched away by others.

He wiped the sweat off his brow and looked around, looking for the whereabouts of the ball.

Suddenly, there were two "clang clang" sounds on the sidelines.

At the same time, everyone stopped.

Two taps, proving that the game is over and the opponent has scored.

Everyone on the field reflexively looked at the scoreboard.

The author has something to say: Rolling and rolling~ Please hug me, please hug me~ Drinking water will be cute, and after you hug me, you will warm the bed and tell stories!

Note:

1. City-state: A city-state. Usually, this area has similar cultural circles, similar customs, etc., but they are ruled separately, with a city as the center.So it cannot be regarded as a country in a complete sense (generally, people in a country have similar cultural circles and customs~), so it is called a city-state.

2. Tell me about the Mayan civilization I know~

First of all, the Mayan civilization really existed.Later it was just a cultural decline.

Secondly, it is not mysterious, the Mayans had their own culture and thought, and worshiped their own gods.What historians can’t explain is: from the current point of view, it was impossible to complete their technology under the conditions at that time, so in order to explain this kind of thing, some people suggested that they had aliens to help them or something... ...and that's when it starts to feel more and more mysterious.

Well, it’s the sauce~ What I said above is indeed an unexplainable thing, I hope it can be gradually solved with the deepening of research.But if there are any aliens to help, then it is really a very happy result!
