As for children, I am afraid that the wish to pray for rain is above the status of children.
Human sacrifice has been around since primitive times. Was she going to say that this was feudal superstition and that no matter how many people were sacrificed, there would be no rain?
She would be beaten to death first, the first person to sacrifice her life for the rain.
The people lived in a state of numbness, perhaps only this one belief holding them together. Survival was the most important thing, as long as they were hungry and cold, the religion would survive.
At that time, the elixir of immortality was extremely popular.
"Let's go back and rest. Let me get some sleep. I've received too much information tonight."
Jiang Nian carried her back.
"If the rain prayers fail, how will we explain the sixteen altars?"
"I'm not sure. Isn't it said that Lady Lotus knows witchcraft? Maybe there's some kind of deception. Besides, their status is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the elders, and it can't be easily shaken. Maybe they can get away with it by making up a random excuse, such as maybe there aren't enough people or the time hasn't come yet..."
Jiang Yue thought of the woman she had just seen in the hall, the one being the center of attention. She was enjoying herself, seemingly above worldly considerations. If she hadn't done such wicked things, she might have been considered a free and uninhibited female boss.
"Hey, how could the two neighboring cities agree to work for Zhaoyang City?"
"I saw that shameless guy giving food."
Shameless... Who taught you that?
"Didn't they donate over a thousand dan of grain? How could they have so much? I saw there was quite a lot of food at the banquet just now."
"Didn't they say they suddenly appeared in Zhaoyang City? Maybe they committed a crime somewhere, robbing grain merchants or wealthy families, and then came here to swindle people."
"The two neighboring cities accepted so-called high-quality refugees, making a lot of money first and clearing up the refugee problem. Then they sent people to Zhaoyang City and earned another wave of food. It's a sure-win business, and you'd be a fool not to do it."
That inn must have been specially opened in Zhaoyang City. Rich people might not necessarily come to the city, but they certainly couldn't stand the scorching sun and the inn that provided food and drink...
"How do we break this situation? Or should we just run away? It's none of our business anyway."
Although the deceived people are pitiful, it is not certain whether they did it voluntarily.
Jiang Nian nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow, "Okay, as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning, we'll run."
There's no point in fighting with the Sixteenth Altar, who is obviously hostile to the rich, a psychopath, and a man of many evil deeds.
However, since the other party is not a good person, can I be a little thief?
Jiang Yue patted Jiang Nian's shoulder, "Come on, son, let's go back! While those rapists are still at work, let's go make some quick money!"
