At the same time, the house in the north of the west courtyard.
The room assigned to Bai Ying and He Shiwen is here.
This really seems to be a room where monks have lived. In addition to a wooden bed, there is also a cushion for meditation.
"Many people will be arriving in the next few days, and the room isn't big enough. You two can stay in one."
After pushing open the door, Niu Huahua put He Shiwen on the bed and said to Bai Ying who followed her into the room.
Bai Ying wondered, "How do you know so many people will be here in a few days? Is there something going on?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Huahua gave Bai Ying a strange look. "Don't you know? There will be a coronation ceremony on the mountain in three days. Villagers from several nearby villages will be attending."
"A-Ascend the throne?"
Bai Ying repeated in disbelief.
Are you sure it's enthronement, not registration?
She suspected she had heard wrongly.
Otherwise, how could we hear such retro words in the new society?
"It's about ascending the throne!"
Niu Huahua, on the other hand, didn't seem surprised. "The Goddess is going to ascend the throne and become the emperor. When the time comes, the Goddess will show her grace and give away the holy water for free, so everyone is rushing to attend the ceremony."
Bai Ying: “…”
She could understand every word, so why did she suddenly not understand when they were put together?
Bai Ying quickly grabbed Niu Huahua and asked tentatively, "You know it's 1977, not 1927, right?"
Niu Huahua looked at Bai Ying as if she was an idiot, "Of course I know."
"Then why do you dare to hold the coronation ceremony? Aren't you afraid..." If the commotion gets too big, will you be directly sanctioned?
"Of course it's because the Goddess is worthy!"
Niu Huahua's eyes were full of stars and her tone was quite excited, as if she was a devout believer.
"She saved so many of us, so what's wrong with being an emperor and enjoying herself? Even so, we still feel that the Goddess is being wronged. She can only live in such a small place as an emperor. In my opinion, the Goddess should move to the Forbidden City! Sooner or later, we will take over the Forbidden City and let the Goddess move in!"
“…”
Bai Ying opened her mouth wide and couldn't say anything for a long time.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
The present is not like the future where the Internet is well developed. Transportation is underdeveloped and there are almost no ways to obtain knowledge. People in remote areas are basically illiterate. She knows that people's cognition is limited and they are easily confused.
But I didn't expect to be fooled to this extent!
Bai Ying didn't know what to say.
If you want to work alone, you must at least have the strength. If you just pull together a makeshift team, you won't be able to show off for a few days before a force from above comes and wipes them all out...
Bai Ying has lost the motivation to communicate with Niu Huahua. She is afraid that if she continues to communicate, her brain will be assimilated by the other party.
Niu Huahua also felt that Bai Ying was ungrateful. The goddess was kind enough to treat the people, but Bai Ying didn't even worship her! Not getting a response, she simply left.
After Niu Huahua left, Bai Ying quickly closed the door. In such a strange and weird place, it is better to act cautiously.
Nothing else to say.
The people in this place have been seriously brainwashed by the 'Goddess'.
Bai Ying was thinking about how to deal with it.
Perhaps, the coronation ceremony three days later will be an opportunity?
After all, we saw many guards carrying guns along the way. Maybe when there are more people at the celebration, there will be more mistakes?
Boom boom boom——
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of knocking on wooden boards.
Following the sound, I saw He Shiwen lying on the bed in a coma, her right hand fingers constantly tapping on the wooden bed, seeming to be in a hurry...
Bai Ying slapped her head and said, "I almost forgot!"
She quickly leaned over and pulled out a silver needle from the back of He Shiwen's neck. Almost at the moment the silver needle left the body, He Shiwen sat up suddenly as if she had come back to life.
"I'm dying of suffocation!"
He Shiwen was breathing heavily, as if she was really suffocating.
Bai Ying was puzzled: "I only made your hands, feet and body unable to move, but you can still breathe. Why do you feel suffocated?"
He Shiwen rolled her eyes and said, "I feel really suffocated because I can't speak!"
“…”
Bai Ying's mouth twitched. So this is how suffocating it is. It seems that the suffocation is not too severe.
"Right, what should we do next?"
He Shiwen asked proactively.
Although she appeared unconscious just now, she was actually conscious and listened to everything Bai Ying and Niu Huahua said.
Naturally, she had also heard Niu Huahua's outrageous words. When she thought of what she had said, her expression became exaggerated. "Why do I feel like so many people here are illiterate..."
"Yeah, all of them."
Bai Ying nodded.
He Shiwen was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
It is difficult for an illiterate person to reason, let alone a group of people.
Even if they find a chance to speak at the coronation ceremony, they will not be able to awaken a group of brainwashed people, who might even attack them for the so-called goddess.
Bai Ying and He Shiwen looked at each other and saw the confusion and helplessness in each other's eyes.
The power of the two of them is still too small.
He Shiwen thought about it carefully and suggested, "Oh, right? Battalion Commander Fang has also sneaked in, right? Why don't we talk to him about this?"
Bai Ying did not agree yet, but lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
For some reason, Shen Ao never joined up with them.
Maybe the defense on the mountain was too tight and he was blocked outside?
