However, Jiang Yao was really hungry. Seeing Su Qianji leave, she quickly started to eat.
Su Qianji seemed to be keeping track of the time. When he came out after changing his clothes, Jiang Yao had already finished eating and packed up.
The man glanced at her and asked, "Have you taken care of the sheep?"
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that she didn't tell Su Qianji where she was going when she left the house. Later, when Su Qianji came to find her, she yelled at him.
The little look in her eyes instantly weakened, and she stared at the man with some uneasiness and asked, "Mr. Su, are you angry?"
Su Qianji didn't answer but asked: "Do you think I should be angry?"
Jiang Yao said hurriedly: "I know it's my fault today. I shouldn't have come back without telling you, I shouldn't have not served you dinner, and I shouldn't have yelled at you. It's all my fault, but everything has a reason. I..."
"You are wrong." Su Qianji interrupted her, looking at her with burning eyes: "Next time you must eat at mealtime, if you don't eat like today, I will punish you."
Jiang Yao stared at Su Qianji as he left in amazement.
That’s it?
Is this what he's angry about?
Just because she didn't eat?
That’s not right. What does it have to do with him if she doesn’t eat?
"Could it be that his OCD is so severe that he has to make sure I eat four full meals a day? Otherwise, he'd feel uncomfortable because of the asymmetry?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao shuddered: "How perverted."
She was extremely tired today and started to feel sleepy after dinner. She sat on the stool and waited for a while, but Su Qianji didn't come back. She could no longer hold on and fell asleep on the table.
As soon as Su Qianji went out, he quickly found Lan Ke.
"Master Su, are you saying that the sheep's illness this time was caused by something else?"
Lan Ke was extremely surprised: "But didn't Miss Jiang Yao say that it was caused by the unclean sheep pen and the mass burials?"
"The Sacrificial Beast has always obeyed the will of heaven. The disease was caused by what Jiang Yao said, but if the Sacrificial Beast was not here, then this disease would not have occurred."
After a pause, he continued, "In other words, even if the disease is cured this time, it may not be the same disease next time, but it will definitely happen again."
Lan Ke's expression was solemn: "But Master Su, what is the sacrificial beast you mentioned?"
Lang Qi said, "Does your tribe have an egg? It's bigger than a fist."
Lan Ke's expression changed instantly: "You mean the egg?"
"That's the Heavenly Sacrifice Beast."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Lan Ke denied it firmly. "That's a divine beast. How could it cause an epidemic? The egg has been in the pond for a hundred years. We rely on the water in the pond to avoid illness. How could it be the cause?"
"A hundred years?" Su Qianji was a little surprised by the time.
"Master Su, you don't know? Didn't the messenger who came a hundred years ago tell you?"
Su Qianji lowered his eyes and did not respond.
He was the one who came here a hundred years ago, but he just didn't remember it.
Lang Qi asked, "You mean, this sacrificial beast was given to you by a messenger a hundred years ago?"
"It can't be considered a gift. The egg was abandoned by the messenger because he no longer wanted it."
Su Qianji thought carefully and realized that he had lost his memory of the State of Zhao, but he did remember it when he was in Yutian. He seemed to have lost a divine beast, but he really couldn't remember why he lost it.
"You threw it away because you don't want it anymore?" Lang Qi glanced at Su Qianji. When did his master become so generous that he could even throw away a divine beast.
"My grandfather told me that a hundred years ago, a royal angel came here, bringing a woman with him. The woman drank the Hundred Days Drunk of my Anan tribe, and then released a monster. The angel was furious, killed the monster, and then punished the woman."
"When the messenger was about to leave, the woman also disappeared. The messenger gave my grandfather the egg and told him to protect it well. It would protect the Anan tribe. Unless he met the right person one day, he could not take the egg out."
Su Qianji and Lang Qi thought of someone at the same time.
"It's her." Lang Qi snorted.
Long before Bai Chu, there was a divine beast following Su Qianji. It was a female divine beast. Not only was it disobedient, but it was also extremely arrogant. It wanted to follow the God of War, but refused to be contracted.
After they came here and returned a hundred years ago, the mythical beast disappeared.
Now that I think about it, it is possible that when they came, the sacrificial beast secretly followed them.
Su Qianji had such a temper that although he couldn't stand the sacrificial beast, he wouldn't deal with it casually. It must have done something wrong later, so Su Qianji beat it into balls and threw it away.
"Why? Langqi knows that woman?"
"I forgot."
I can't say I know him. I've only worked with him for a few days, but he still followed me to Zhao State without knowing his own limitations.
Su Qianji also had some impression of it. Although it was a relatively rare divine beast, it was not enterprising and not very powerful.
"The one with destiny."
It seems that he had predicted Jiang Yao's coming a hundred years ago.
"The messenger was right. Now that your destined partner has reappeared, you should give her the egg."
"Master Su, are you talking about Miss Jiang Yao?"
"Um."
Lan Ke didn't understand: "Mr. Su, how can you be sure that Miss Jiang Yao is the one?"
"Sacrificial beasts have the ability to perceive. If it is destined that their master will arrive, they will give a warning. Those sheep are the warning."
After Su Qianji finished speaking, he saw that Lan Ke did not respond. He understood in his heart that he was unwilling to give the egg away.
"This time the disease is only on the sheep. If you don't follow the will of the sacrificial beast, the disease may not be limited to the sheep next time."
"If I give the egg to Miss Jiang Yao, then the holy spring water."
"It's just a small favor. It can't detoxify or cure any disease. It's just protecting itself from you guys."
"But it is with this small favor that most of our people have lived in peace for their entire lives."
Although it cannot cure diseases, it is true that drinking it in advance will prevent you from getting sick, so Lan Ke is unwilling to hand it over.
Su Qianji's persuasion was fruitless. Thinking that there was no one around Jiang Yao to protect her, he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, just take me to see it."
Lan Ke brought Su Qianji and Lang Qi to the sacred spring.
The pool was full of water, and there was a small drinking fountain above the pool, which was empty.
This should be the holy spring water that Lan Ke mentioned. It takes a month to fill a cup.
As the wheelchair slowly approached, the water in the pool began to boil, rolling silently.
Lan Ke was frightened: "What...what happened?"
Without even raising his eyelids, Su Qianji said loudly, "If you keep moving, you won't even be able to make an egg."
The pool suddenly became quiet.
It was the first time that Lan Ke had seen such a strange thing: an egg could actually understand human language.
"I'm giving you a chance to leave. If you're willing, you can turn all the water in this pool into something that can prevent disease. Otherwise, you'll stay here forever."
