Daoist, stay safe

The God of Flower Sacrifice, Liu bit the bullet and held an autumn harvest sacrifice under the watchful eyes of his parents.

There are still two important links in this sacrificial ceremony that have not been carried out, one is the blessing of the flower sacrifice to the god, and the other is the bonfire dinner.The bonfire dinner is the final link. It is right to have a lot of singing and dancing, big fish and big meat. There is nothing wrong with it.

In the eyes of the villagers, the blessing of the flower sacrifice god is to bless them with blessings to keep them safe and healthy, but in fact, the operation is: the villagers live in this poor place, and they are easily stung by poisonous insects and infected with parasitic diseases. Some places are also vulnerable to attacks by some ferocious beasts.Therefore, every year during the sacrificing in spring and autumn harvest, the Flower God Gu will drive away parasites for the villagers - in fact, the Flower God Gu eats the parasites, and at the same time releases a hormone to strengthen their antibodies And make them smell of the flower god Gu, so as to prevent them from being attacked by poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains to the greatest extent.

The biggest problem in this link is that Liu Yu will release the Flower God Gu, making it like mist and countless floating petals floating among the villagers. This is definitely a miracle in the eyes of the villagers, but wearing a chicken feather suit, Performing in front of her parents and an expert like Zhang Xiyan, damn it, it would be shocking and embarrassing, since she won't be able to meet people in the future, even her parents won't be able to look directly at her.

Liu Yu really wanted to say that it would be fine for the tribal priests to refuse outsiders to visit, or someone to invite her parents and Zhang Xiyan to the house for tea.

However, the Huaji tribe has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and the villagers have no such concept at all.Outsiders can't enter the village, and those who come into the village are not outsiders. At least her parents and Zhang Xiyan count as one, and they are all distinguished guests. How can they neglect the distinguished guests?

Just as Liu Yu was thinking this way, the patriarch and the young priest went over together as if confirming her guess, and invited her parents and Zhang Xiyan to the front of the line to receive the blessing of the Flower Sacrifice God.This is the highest hospitality ceremony in the tribe, not one of them - the young priest gave up his position, and he is usually the first to receive blessings.

If the sacrificial activity is suspended at this point, it will cause panic among the villagers, and it may even cause everyone to misunderstand that they have offended her and do bad things. Liu Yu can only follow the normal ritual, and give her parents, Zhang Xiyan, and the accompanying bodyguards, And the blessings of the villagers.

She held up her hands with the posture of "I am a god", chanted the ancient ritual blessing mantra loudly-actually, it was auspicious words, and then released the flower god Gu.Her movements and sacrificial words are all superficial, the real thing is the flower god Gu, but in order to maintain the godhead and the respect of the villagers for her, it is natural to be as tall as possible, but... the tall in the eyes of the villagers On the face, it is absolutely different from the tall face in the eyes of her parents and Zhang Xiyan.

The villagers all knelt down and bowed to the ground in worship.

Zhang Xiyan looked at her expressionlessly. If Zhang Xiyan's expression had to be accompanied by a line of words, it would probably be: I'll just quietly watch you act like a psycho.

Her mother's expression is: daughter, what's wrong with you?How are you crazy?What are you doing?Have you learned magic?

Mr. Liu Shize's expression was rather complicated, and he turned his head to look around, his expression was a little hard to describe.

Liu Yu can probably understand her father's thinking: We are serious business people, don't engage in such brainwashing MLM cults...

As for the bodyguards, Liu Yu didn't even want to look at their expressions, anyway, they were all colorful and beautiful, and some people reached out to grab the petal-shaped Flower God Gu.

After Liu Yu finished blessing the villagers, she personally lit the huge bonfire in the middle of the village, and then the villagers held the torches and carried the shrine—that is, the sliding pole decorated with flowers—wrapping around the village and the village. The areas where the villagers often move, swim, and travel are also blessed by the gods with flowers. This is to bless the land where the villagers live and multiply, and to protect their land from insect damage. In fact, it is to repel insects and reduce crops and fruit trees. pests.

Liu Yu turned into a humanoid insecticide and sat in the flowery Huaganshang Village. Her parents, Zhang Xiyan, and bodyguards were always by her side at the warm invitation of the young priest and patriarch.She didn't look sideways, with a dignified appearance, all she wanted to say in her heart was: I'm so ashamed to live.

She's autistic!

Finally, the villagers completed the sacrificial ceremony and carried her back to the shrine—her bamboo house.

Liu Yu got off the pole, and very solemnly ordered the patriarch to entertain the bodyguards brought by her parents, and let them disperse separately. While they bowed their heads respectfully, they showed the etiquette for honored guests and invited her parents and Zhang Xiyan to enter her bamboo house. .

She waited for the villagers to turn around and leave, then closed the door as quickly as possible, pulled down the bamboo doors, windows and curtains, and asked, "I'll go, why are you here now?" He leaned over to the wall and peeked out through the cracks to make sure that no one had the guts to listen to the corner of the flower festival, and then he explained, "I'm doing as the Romans do, and my chicken feather suit is the highest-level and most solemn dress of the Flower Festival tribe. , Primitive tribe, bear with me."

Zhang Xiyan: Inexplicably, it reminds me of the feather duster used by her family to sweep dust.

Liu Shize: Do you want to take her out to see a psychiatrist?

Mother Liu has already begun to wipe away tears, heartbroken.

Liu Yusheng looked at them unrequitedly, sighed sadly, then looked at Zhang Xiyan, "Say something."

Zhang Xiyan asked, "Say what?"

Liu Yu said, "Tell me I'm not sick."

Zhang Xiyan replied, "Psychopaths say they are not sick."

Liu Yu said "I'll go" and threatened her, "Do you still want to go into the mountains to find medicinal materials?"

Zhang Xiyan glanced at Liu Yu deeply, and explained to Liu Shize and his wife, "The petals you see are actually a special kind of Gu insect called 'Flower God Gu', which is driven by Liu Yu, and the whole sacrificial activity is actually Use the Flower God Gu to drive away parasites for the villagers, and do insecticide and control work for the village." She paused, and said, "The God of Flower Sacrifice is because they are the patron saints."

Seeing her parents' expressions, Liu Yu didn't seem to be comforted by Zhang Xiyan's words.She looked at them both helplessly and asked, "Don't you believe it?"

Mother Liu wiped her tears and said, "I believe, I believe everything you say." She stepped forward and took Liu Yu's hand, and said, "Xiao Yu, let's go home with Mom." Tears flowed down my face.

Liu Yu: "..." She looked towards her father.

Liu Shi wanted to say, "I'll find you the best doctor," but swallowed it back, and said, "It's the same wherever you do business. You don't have to work hard in this mountain. The money I earn for you is enough for you to spend your whole life." .”

Liu Yu has never felt as pitiful as she is today, she looked at Zhang Xiyan again, and asked for help with her eyes: Zhang Shisan, if you dare to make trouble, I will hate you for the rest of my life.

Zhang Xiyan glanced at Liu Yu lightly, and said to Liu Shi, "Director Liu, don't think this village is poor..." She pointed to Liu Yu, and said, "This is the rich one. Go to her medicinal material warehouse and have a look." Just know."

Immediately, Liu Yu felt as if she had received an amnesty, and pointed to Zhang Xiyan with praise, and immediately asked her parents to visit the herb warehouse.She thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute." She went back to the bedroom and dragged out the box under the bed.

Mother Liu: She said she was not sick!

Liu Shi looked at the bare house and comforted himself: there is no other place to put valuables, only under the bed.

Liu Yu dragged the aluminum alloy lockbox out, opened the box, replaced the lamp with new batteries, lit up the room brightly, and handed the ledger to her father.

There is not even a wire in this place, so of course there is no use of a computer, and the financial reports and account books are all handwritten.

Fortunately, his daughter's handwriting is correct, and it doesn't seem to be a lot of effort. After managing the company for so long, the accounts are clear and clear at a glance.

Liu Shi sat by the bed, carefully looked at the account book that Liu Yu handed over, and then looked at Liu Yu in a different way from before.

His daughter started a business in the mountains to raise Chinese herbal medicines for centipedes, snakes and insects, and he knew the market conditions.Liu Yu's price was much higher than the market price, and she sold it.As for the cost, there is no need to spend money to live. The main cost of food is rice, grain and oil. Vegetables, fruits and meat are all grown and raised in the village, and only cost some wages.The processing fee for those medicinal materials ranges from [-] cents to [-] yuan. From being caught in the mountains to making a finished product that can be sold, the most expensive processing fee is [-] yuan, and her daughter can sell it for [-] yuan.Liu Shi looked up at Liu Yu, wanting to ask: The villagers didn't beat you out!And worship him like a god!No reason!

Liu Yu said, "You can't just see my profit, you also have to see what I do. I build bridges and pave roads to send them to study, and I spend money on everything."

Zhang Xiyan said lightly, "Nine-year compulsory education is free. Huaji Village has a poverty alleviation policy. Most of the bridges are built by the government, and the roads are built with free labor from the mountain people. The stone and wood are all local materials. You only pay for tools.”

Liu Yu: "..." No such sabotage!

Liu Shi said to Liu Yu: "At least you let the villagers live better."

Liu Yu was very depressed, "Then we have to bring in the river sand, cement and bricks." She paused, and then said, "Don't just look at the profit, the village has nearly a thousand people, and the rice, flour, and oil they eat every day cost a lot of money. Clothes, daily necessities, everything has to be bought from outside the mountain and shipped in, based on per capita consumption of 980 a year, at least more than [-] million." She said no under the gaze of her father. Go on, after all, there is still money to be made, and not a lot.

Liu Shi returned the ledger to Liu Yu, feeling a lot more at ease as an old father, but he still told Liu Yu, "Don't go too far, the villagers just haven't seen the world, they are not stupid, the share that should be given to the villagers Give enough."

Liu Yu said "hmm", put the ledger into the box, and stuffed it back under the bed.

Seeing her stuffing a box of cash under the bed, Mother Liu was frightened and asked, "Aren't you afraid someone will rob you?" After she finished speaking, she went to the gate and found that there was no lock, not even a bolt.God!
