Chapter 296 Watching the fun can kill people
The Space Spirit said, "That shouldn't be the case. How about we capture the Monkey King and ask him?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Let's go and catch the Monkey King."
Although she said she was leaving, she still made a hole in the tree trunk and released the monkey wine inside.
The wine smells good, but the color is ugly and turbid. After all, monkeys don't know what filtering is.
After releasing two jars, Su Nuan stopped and blocked the tree trunk where the wine had been placed with branches, allowing the monkey to brew wine again.
Su Nuan was too lazy to run, so she took out a basket of fruit and said, "Go and catch the Monkey King."
The baboons immediately became excited when they saw the fruits, and they ran out cheering.
Monkeys are afraid of baboons, but some monkeys are more mean. When they see powerful gorillas or baboons, they don’t run away. Instead, they make all kinds of provocative movements from high places. In the end, they all end up in a bad ending.
Not long after, the baboon leader came over carrying an old monkey with white fur.
Su Nuan looked at the monkey and asked, "Are you the Monkey King?"
Unexpectedly, the old monkey didn't even listen to the end, and rushed over to bite Su Nuan's face with his teeth bared.
The space spirit used its big face as a slap and slapped the old monkey away.
It cried out, "Ahhhhhh... my face..."
Su Nuan was also speechless, "Don't you have hands? Why are you fanning with your face?"
The space spirit said aggrievedly: "I...I'm just anxious, and you're laughing at me."
Su Nuan suppressed her laughter and said, "No, thank you."
The space spirit was also heartless. It didn't get angry and asked, "Did he kill it?"
Su Nuan walked over and kicked it. The Monkey King was probably too old, so he didn't move and looked dead.
The Space Spirit asked, "How many do you want?"
Su Nuan thought about it and realized that although they let two children go, they must have spare ones, so four monkeys were needed to replace them.
"Three more."
The space spirit perked up, "Okay."
It stretched its neck, shook off its leaf-like hands and went to kill the three monkeys who were watching the show.
It threw the monkey in front of Su Nuan and said, "Sometimes watching the excitement can be fatal."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, you're right."
She threw the four monkeys to the Space Spirit and asked Hai Lan to help deal with them.
The Space Spirit asked, "Do you want to collect the Monkey Wine?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Let's take it. How can we go back empty-handed now that we're here?"
"These wines need to be filtered after they are brought back, which means they use up a lot of jars."
The space spirit asked in confusion: "Why waste the jar?"
Su Nuan replied, "Because the fruit in each tree is different, the taste of the wine is different, so the wine from each tree needs to be stored in a different jar."
The space spirit nodded, "I see. It would be great if we could train them."
Su Nuan looked around and finally shook her head. "No need. Let's go back and develop. As long as there are fruit trees, we can attract monkeys. When they want to make wine, they can just use those fruits. We can mix them together and the taste will be pretty much the same."
The space spirit hummed, watching the baboons sorting the fruits in the baskets in an orderly manner, "It's a pity that baboons can't make wine."
Su Nuan was silent for a moment and then said, "Why do we have to let monkeys make wine? I think it would be better to make fruit wine and grain wine based on the knowledge you gave me."
The space spirit thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, why do we have to use monkeys to make wine? It's not very tasty."
These wines smell like alcohol, but also have a sour taste. After all, they are not brewed with sugar, so the taste is just for the sake of freshness.
After putting away the wine, it was already dark, so Su Nuan went to the space spirit to rest, and after dawn, he sneaked back into the border town of Beixue Country.
This time, I pretended to be a beggar, found a place to sit, and observed the people on the street.
The high priest should not be dead, and the pedestrians did not show any abnormalities, but there were a few more patrolling soldiers.
Su Nuan waited like this. On the day of the sacrifice, the streets became lively. Many people pulled carts with strange things on them, which were probably used for the sacrifice.
Su Nuan sighed, "Sacrifice is really important, but it's a pity that it's useless."
The Space Spirit smiled and said, "Yes, but it is also a beautiful sustenance. I want to soothe the restless spirit through sacrifice."
Su Nuan nodded, "There's nothing wrong with offering sacrifices, but using human lives for sacrifice is not good."
The Space Spirit sighed, "Humanity's progress is promoted through war. Do you believe it?"
Su Nuan was stunned. "War?"
The space spirit nodded, "Yes, every battle promotes the progress of mankind, and progress is even faster after a war."
"Because after the war there was a prosperous era, people would start to study various things, especially military and agriculture."
Su Nuan felt that what he said made sense. Every change of dynasty was also a progress of civilization, so people in later generations had no right to judge the good or bad of the wars of their predecessors.
She stood up and reached out to retrieve the broken bowl, which contained a few copper coins given by a kind person.
She smiled and said, "No matter which country or city, there are kind people."
The space spirit asked, "Why? Are you going to take risks for these kind people?"
Su Nuan chuckled and put away the copper coins. "It's not really an adventure, it's just a piece of cake."
She found a corner and entered the space, dressed herself up as a man, put on high-heeled shoes, and at first glance she looked like a young man of sixteen or seventeen.
After leaving the space, I followed the people and found that the place for sacrifice was by the river.
When she arrived at the river, Su Nuan saw four tripods, some of which had water in them, but were now empty.
She looked around but didn't see the offerings. She was very puzzled. "The offerings aren't here. Could they still be inside that red-walled courtyard?"
The space spirit said, "I think it's in the carriage at the back."
Su Nuan turned around and saw someone pulling a carriage over, but they didn't go to the river, they just stopped at the city gate.
A gust of wind blew, lifting the curtain in front of the carriage, and red clothes were seen inside.
Su Nuan asked, "Do you use red clothes for sacrifices?"
The space spirit replied: "It should be for celebration."
It was also Su Nuan's first time to witness a large-scale sacrifice, so she didn't know the rules.
If the child was in the carriage, she could not squeeze by the river, so she walked slowly back.
There were a lot of people living by the river, pushing and shoving each other, and Su Nuan seemed to be pushed out because she couldn't squeeze in.
She slowly approached the carriage, and the driver angrily said, "Go away! Don't go near the sacrifice."
Su Nuan immediately nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I suddenly have to go to the bathroom and need to find a place to relieve myself."
The driver said in disgust: "Go away, get out of here."
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Nuan walked away and walked into the distance along the city wall.
She asked, "What should we do now? Is there any way to divert the driver?"
The space spirit said, "Isn't the sacrifice at night? Wait and see, there's no rush."
Su Nuan had no choice but to enter the space where no one could see her.
Hai Lan saw her come in and asked, "Has the sacrifice started outside?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "Not yet. I need to find a way to get into the carriage without anyone noticing. I'll put the children into the space and give their clothes to the monkey."
Hailan asked, "Do you know which are river sacrifices and which are fire sacrifices?"
Su Nuan was dumbfounded. Where would she know where to go?
