Chapter 513, Sacrifice 02
Their village lives deep in the mountains, and there are many animals there. They cannot resist the wild beasts in the mountains on their own.
But God can.
As long as the sacrifice is held once a year, the village will have peace for the whole year.
This rule was passed down like this.
The current generation of the village chief only knows that the person over there is the patron saint of their village. If he ever leaves the mountains, he just needs to report it.
There are no mandatory requirements for both parties.
After they finished, Mei Xue and He Anze exclaimed: "What a good god." You know, in ancient times, sacrifices were mainly made with living animals and humans.
There is no one like them.
So this is a good god, He Anze really wants to check it out.
I just don’t know if it will cause trouble to the villagers.
Mei Xue answered simply, "Have you ever been down there?" He's such a good god, and he won't hurt anyone, so why not go down and take a look?
The village chief smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not as good as you think. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter that place. Unless it is the day of sacrifice, no one who breaks in will come out alive."
But it’s not God’s fault, the village chief thought.
But he wasn't going to tell them.
If someone breaks into his house, he will beat them out. If they come to steal things, then...
If you put yourself in their shoes, it’s all the same.
"If we go in, will it bring trouble to your village?" He Anze couldn't help but ask.
The village chief shook his head and said, "No, you have to think it over carefully. I don't know what the situation is over there." Seeing that they had made up their minds, the village chief said with some concern.
"It's okay. We still have the ability to protect ourselves. We just don't want to cause trouble to you." He Anze waved his hand. As long as it didn't affect the village, there was no harm in taking a look.
He looked at Mei Xue as if asking a question.
Mei Xue nodded: "I have the same idea."
Life in the village is really carefree. This time, grandma brought a set of mahjong into the village.
She lived there for a few days and got to know a lot of people in the village. So she immediately led people to join the mahjong army.
Not to mention the two brothers Xiaopeng, who were taken around to play by Xiaoyue and her cousins every day.
The whole village was almost turned upside down.
The fifth day of the first lunar month comes quickly.
This is a big event in the village.
Every household did not care about the small amount of things, and for the sake of peace in the coming year, they all happily began to busy themselves with the sacrificial ceremonies.
Mei Xue and He Anze had no plan to go down while they were offering sacrifices.
They planned to go down and investigate again after the sacrifice.
Mei Xue felt that there was most likely a spiritual beast here, and only animals with spiritual intelligence would speak in such a human way.
Otherwise, it would be strange if animals didn't eat humans.
As guests, they also took out a sacrificial item and handed it to the village chief.
When the village chief saw them, he was very grateful.
Isn't it good to take such a good thing yourself? Not everyone can be willing to take it out.
Looking at the thousand-year-old ginseng in his hand, the village chief wanted to steal it.
"You are very generous." The village chief said happily.
"After all, it's a big event for the village. We can't not contribute. It's only good for you." He Anze's polite words came out without hesitation, and his mouth became more and more slippery.
No one was playing mahjong with Grandma He today because everyone was busy. When she found out, she also planned to join in the fun.
Mei Xue had no objection of course, and she stayed with her grandmother the whole time, fearing that something might happen to her.
To go east, you have to go through the Worm Valley to the east end.
Today, there is not a single insect to be seen in the Insect Valley, and the small insects that usually appear in groups have disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Cheng was full of curiosity. He was very jealous of the medicine village here. Now that those nasty bugs were gone, he certainly couldn't let it go.
Xiaoyue stayed by his side the whole time, helping him collect herbs.
Anyway, when they come back from the sacrifice, they will bring back some herbs from the Insect Valley.
This happens every year.
There are not only medicinal herbs here, but also some poisonous weeds. Xiaopeng is not very familiar with this aspect.
But he also knew some.
He immediately ran to his mother and said, "Mom, there are so many poisonous herbs here. Can I pick some and take them out?" He wanted to study the poison recipe.
Mei Xue looked around and shook her head: "No, your current ability is not enough to control the poisonous weeds here. You can try it when your medical skills are stronger." She denied Xiaopeng.
Not to mention Xiaopeng, even she was wary of the poisonous herbs here, because she recognized some herbs that even she might not be able to detoxify.
Looking at the poisonous herbs growing densely all around, I guess the villagers wouldn't touch them.
It can be seen that the medical skills in their village are also top-notch.
Xiaoyue said at this time: "Yes, Meixue is right, Brother Xiaopeng cannot touch these herbs, otherwise there is no cure." She heard from her parents that someone in the village had touched them before, but they all died later.
Xiaopeng still didn't give up.
But he was an obedient child, "Okay then." He replied with some disappointment.
"You, wait until you have learned your father-in-law's skill in identifying medicines, then you can learn medicine from the village chief. You know, your mother's medical skills are not that good." She learned everything from books.
She only knew three points of acupuncture and moxibustion, so she never treated patients. At most, she studied some prescriptions from ancient sources.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to treat illnesses, but she doesn’t dare to show her illness to others. She still knows her own strength.
"Okay, I'll listen to my mother." This was what Xiaopeng had originally planned.
He knew that the best medical skill in the village was the wife of the village chief, and in terms of identification and planting, Ji's father and his two brothers were the best in the village.
It took almost two hours to walk all the way here.
Fortunately, the weather is good today, without rain or snow.
Otherwise, the older ones will suffer.
Grandma He had abandoned Mei Xue long ago and found her good sisters, chatting and laughing along the way.
Of course, Mei Xue and He Anze were not far away from grandma.
More than two hours passed and we finally arrived at our destination. Seeing the burnt wood by the landlord, we thought that no one had been here for a year.
The sacrifice began under the auspices of the village chief.
The fire was lit.
Soon I saw a group of people changing their clothes, and their faces were painted so much that even their mothers couldn’t recognize them.
There are four rows of five in a row, which means twenty people.
Everyone sat down directly against the cliff, muttering something.
The village chief also changed into white clothes at this time, which gave him a somewhat immortal look.
He spoke Miao dialect, which Mei Xue and the others could not understand.
After reciting for about ten minutes, I could see the fog under the cliff slowly spreading up the mountain.
Mei Xue and He Anze have been on guard ever since.
He immediately pulled grandma and Xiao Cheng to his side.
All the villagers fell to their knees.
They all lowered their heads.
