Chapter 150: Repairing the plank road in public and marching through Chencang in secret
Everyone knows that the Qiuyu tribe is blessed by God, but no one knows where those farm tools came from.
Even within the tribe, only a dozen or so trusted people knew about it.
They are setting off now and must avoid these people.
It’s not that I’m worried that these tribes will go in.
The goddess said that only a few people can enter.
They were only worried that the things they brought out would be coveted, or that these people would do something bad and destroy the cave entrance if they couldn't get it themselves...
"Wait."
Si Yu calmly uttered two words.
Si Yuan was about to ask what he was waiting for when he heard footsteps in the distance. It was Ji Shuo returning.
He immediately shut up.
But unexpectedly, Ji Shuo quickly walked up to Si Yu and said, "Chief, everything is ready."
Si Yu stood up and said, "Great! Tell everyone to hold a sacrificial ceremony by the lake tonight!"
The tribe has its own sacrificial ceremony every year at a fixed time.
Either it is to worship ancestors or to worship gods.
But ever since Si Dan and the elders abandoned them and took most of the tribe to join the Lie Ri tribe, the Qiu Yu tribe has not held a sacrificial ceremony for two years.
Who are we commemorating?
What Si Dan did was the instruction from the ancestors of the Qiuyu tribe.
They are all people abandoned by their ancestors, and even offering sacrifices to their ancestors will not bless them.
But now it's different.
Now they have the protection of the goddess.
"So sudden?" Si Yuan looked confused. They hadn't heard any news before.
Si Yu explained, "With so many tribes watching us, we naturally have to be more secretive."
Si Yuan nodded in understanding and whispered, "Then I'll quietly pass the order along."
Ji Shuo looked at Si Yuan's back, then looked at Si Yu, and was silent for a while.
He guessed that tonight's sacrifice was not the main point...
Although the preparations were low-key, the people watching closely around still knew about it and focused their attention on the sacrificial ceremony by the lake.
Especially the Sun Tribe.
They wanted to see how the goddess bestowed upon them.
The people of the Qiuyu tribe displayed food, wild fruits, hunted game and other offerings one by one, and the shaman chanted blessings and prayers on them, and then the sacrifice began.
The tribesmen carried two large baskets of caught fish and placed them on the altar.
The members of the Scorching Sun Tribe looked at this scene and their faces turned distorted with anger.
"That's our totem?!"
"They're using our patron saint as a sacrifice! They're going too far, how dare they!"
"Chief, we must punish them!"
“…”
Ji Xuan's dark face was also ugly.
A pair of eagle-like eyes swept over the man who said 'punish them', "They are not members of our tribe yet. We have no right to kill them if they hunt down our protector!"
The tribe only worships its own totem and does not kill or eat animals, but other tribes do not have this taboo.
The man was angry, "Is this the end?!"
Ji Xuan looked around and saw that many people from other tribes were there. If he interrupted the sacrifice now, he would definitely incur public anger.
She was also furious and glared at her people.
"Where did they catch so many? Weren't you guys keeping an eye on them? How did you do that?!"
“…”
A low-key and lively sacrificial ceremony was being held over there, while here Si Yu, with the original dozens of people, carrying baskets, quickly headed towards the cave.
She stepped into the Space-Time Exchange and put her things down. Still a little worried, she leaned out to check outside.
…
Chen Jinyue had just finished dinner when she came in.
Seeing her sneaky behavior, she was a little confused. She took the fruit that Aunt Tang had cut for her, got up and went straight to the bedroom on the second floor.
"Is someone following you? What are you doing so secretly?" She walked into the yard and spoke slowly.
Si Yu was startled by her sudden appearance, but quickly recovered and explained to her the situation on their side.
Because of the cattle exchange, she spread the news that she was favored by God, and now all the tribes are staring at them...
Chen Jinyue glanced at the basket and asked her to come sit in the pavilion.
Listening to her story and looking at her surprised eyes, "Openly repairing the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang? Sure!"
Si Yu looked puzzled, "What do you mean by openly repairing the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang?"
Chen Jinyue explained, "It's an idiom that means hiding one's true intentions behind superficial actions, using obvious actions to confuse the enemy, causing them to misunderstand one's true intentions and ignore one's true intentions, thus achieving a surprise victory."
When she was explaining this story, she suddenly couldn't help but think that this kind of wisdom had examples even earlier in time?
Is it because there is no written record that it is not known to later generations?
Or is this not the same world in time and space?
"She is worthy of being a goddess, she knows everything!" Si Yu felt that this was very similar to what happened to her tonight, and couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Jinyue, “…”
"Would you like some fruit?" She didn't continue and pushed the fruit plate towards her.
Si Yu had just been peeking at the fruit plate, and now when she heard the goddess speak, she quickly reached out to the fruit plate.
When he was about to touch the strawberry, he suddenly stopped.
She subconsciously looked up at Chen Jinyue.
Chen Jinyue blinked, reached out to pick up a small fork next to him, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.
Si Yu followed suit, picked up a fork, tasted a piece, and then looked at Chen Jinyue with sparkling eyes, "We don't have such delicious fruit where we are!"
Chen Jinyue explained, "This is called strawberry. It's very sweet and I like it too..."
Having said that, Chen Jinyue put down his fork, asked her to wait a moment, and then brought the condiments next to it to the table.
Introduce them to her one by one.
Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty...
Si Yu tasted them one by one, sometimes frowning, sometimes sticking out her tongue and breathing out, her movements and expressions were very exaggerated.
After tasting it, she took the water handed to her by Chen Jinyue and took a big gulp, then looked at the thing in front of her with a very puzzled expression.
"Are these really edible?" For the first time, she questioned the god in her heart.
Chen Jinyue suppressed a laugh and said, "Yes, but because it's a condiment, you can only put a little bit in the food."
Si Yu, “…”
Then why didn't the goddess stop her when she tasted so much just now?
Chen Jinyue picked a cucumber from the nearby vegetable garden, washed it, cut it into pieces, put it in a bowl, added appropriate seasonings, and handed it to her.
"Would you like to try it now?"
“…”
Si Yu was tricked, and his impression of the goddess was shattered. He looked at the food in the bowl with some caution.
Chen Jinyue took a bite first, then motioned for her to eat.
Si Yu carefully picked up a piece with a fork and put it into her mouth.
The cold cucumber salad is refreshing and delicious, with the right amount of saltiness, and a hint of sweetness and fragrance.
“This is delicious!”
"Right? I didn't lie to you this time, did I?"
“…”
So was it really a lie last time?
Chen Jinyue smiled dryly, ignoring her resentful look, and picked up other things.
She wasn't a goddess to begin with.
From the beginning, they were just in a transactional relationship. After knowing each other for a long time, they could become ordinary friends, but there was no need to have any special admiration for her.
I think she should be dignified, compassionate, and have a "divine" quality...
She is a businesswoman!
I feel guilty about accepting money because I worship you so much!
"Come, let me introduce this to you. I didn't buy much of this for you, so you can grow it yourself!"
