Yang Sui put down the oxtail in his hand and stood up.

Seeing Yang Sui throwing the oxtail down casually, the young girl next to her glared at Yang Sui, then squatted and carefully picked up the oxtail and put it into a long wooden box next to it. There was a layer of hay in the wooden box, and the oxtail was just enough to fit inside.

Yang Sui laughed, "As for it? It's useless anyway."

A brief introduction.

Shao Xuan learned that the young girl was named Mi Rong. She grew up with Yang Sui. She is now one of the witches who followed Yang Sui and will also participate during the sacrifices.

"I heard that your Yanjiao tribe has returned? You came with the people in the middle?" Yang Sui said.

"Yes." Looking at the faces of the two of them, Shao Xuan asked, "What happened to you? Are you going to be kicked off the stage?"

Yang Sui scratched his head, "That's right."

After a moment of silence, Yang Sui said, "It would be fine if you don't become a witch, that's fine, you can live. But what's worse now is that I might be burned to death."

"Bang!"

Mi Rong next to him threw away the wooden box in his hand, and looked at the ox tail that was carefully put into the box just now falling out and shouted with red eyes: "Why don't you know you can't get it down before you ask for rain?!"

"Everyone knows this." Yang Sui smiled dejectedly, "It's only a matter of time before being burned to death."

"If I had known this, why did you lie to others?! Just say you can't ask for it, why should you admit it?!" Mi Rong was so angry that she burst into tears. She wiped it casually, regardless of whether the dust on her hands was smearing on her face, put the oxtail on the ground into the box, stuffed it into Yang Sui's hand, and ran out strode. When she ran out, she kicked the half-closed door panel away.

Shao Xuan looked at Mi Xiang who ran away after kicking the door panel, then looked at Yang Sui who was standing in the same place, and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

Shao Xuan knew that when Yang Sui was competing for the candidate for witch, he observed the possible rain, and then made a coincidence and finally beat other competitors.

Yang Sui's expression was even worse than crying, "I shouldn't regret it!" Thinking back to the situation at that time, I was trying to die! I should have confessed under the pressure of the leader.

Seeing Shao Xuan again, it was rare to be in such a situation again. Yang Sui told Shao Xuan briefly.

After he returned from traveling, he did succeed in becoming a witch. However, at the end of last year, the new leader took office. The leader supported another competitor. I don’t know where to learn that Yang Sui had “cheated” at the time of his arrival. He attacked Yang Sui and kept causing trouble. In addition, since the beginning of this year, there has not been a drop of rain. The new leader seized the opportunity and asked Yang Sui to ask for rain.

Yang Sui said it was difficult to deal with.

If it were others, it would be fine, but if the new leader wanted to bring his own people to power, he publicly questioned Yang Sui's ability to seek rain, saying that he was just a coincidence, not based on his true abilities to seek rain. He also deceived everyone and was disrespectful to his ancestors and totems. This is why the gods punished him. This year, there has not been a drop of rain. If this continues, as the weather gets hotter and hotter, the land will quickly dry up and the crops in the fields will not last long. After some encouragement, he also used Yang Sui to deceive the gods as a reason.

What? Say it was the idea of ​​the leader who admitted it was? Bah! He actually dared to slander the deceased leader. You Yang Sui should be burned to death!

"He asked me to ask for rain. If he couldn't ask for it, it would anger the gods and burn me to calm the wrath of God." Yang Sui took out the ox tail from the box and flicked it casually. He continued, "Actually, many people know that it was an excuse in their hearts, but there was no way, and the leader spoke. Moreover, under his encouragement, many people really thought that if I couldn't ask for rain, burning me to solve the problem."

In the past, Yang Sui was able to take office successfully, but his former leader was responsible for it. The former leader knew that there were coincidences in Yang Sui's Qiuyu, but at that time he needed to stabilize the people of the tribe and an opportunity to expand his reputation. At that time, he put pressure on Yang Sui when he was planning to defend himself.

"How many people support you now?" Shao Xuan asked.

Since the leader did not dare to burn Yang Sui to death directly, he had to delay such a delay, and he must have some concerns.

"I and the leader's supporters are probably half against half. But the day after tomorrow, probably no one will support me anymore." Yang Sui smiled bitterly.

"Please ask for rain the day after tomorrow?" Shao Xuan asked.

"Well, I have been preparing for the rain these days. I have practiced it a few times in private, and these oxtails are what I practice." Yang Sui held the oxtail and shook it at Shao Xuan. "I broke a oxtail yesterday. This is the new one I found."

"You want to use an oxtail if you ask for rain?"

"Yes," Yang Sui shook the oxtail on his hand. "When you ask for rain, you have to hold the oxtail on your hand. However, this one is just for me to practice. When I ask for rain, I will use another carefully prepared oxtail. It was obtained by the supporters behind me, so I can't play casually."

"What are you going to do? If you can't ask for rain, you will be burned here?"

"What else can I do?" Yang Sui spread his hands, "I used to think that something happened, but I couldn't escape. My family and friends are here, my tribes are here, and the fire seeds are here, where can I go? I don't want to be a tourist, nor do I want to become a slave. I would rather burn it to death!"

The room fell silent for a moment.

"When will the next rain be? Is the rainy season coming soon?" Shao Xuan asked.

"There has not been raining in recent times. As for the rainy season, the rainy season here is later than in other places after the full moon." Yang Sui explained.

This is really a difficult problem. Before the rainy season comes, and it doesn’t rain in the sky, Shao Xuan can’t think of a good idea. Artificial rainfall? Shao Xuan really has no choice but to do anything about this mysterious place.

"Go back, Yangsha." Yang Sui said, "While I am still in front of a witch, I can provide you with some delicious food. Later, I will ask someone to send you more water and food."

Shao Xuan looked out from the broken window and could see that the blue sky had just now become a little cloudy and gray. Sand and dust began to rise in the air outside.

"If you stay for two days, you can still see me burned to death." Yang Sui laughed at himself. He held the wooden box with the oxtail in his hand and walked out of the house, "I advise you to go back early and go out less tomorrow."

When Shao Xuan walked out of the wooden house and returned to the place where they rested, the visibility around had dropped a lot, and the sky was covered with dust. The blowing wind was covered with sand and dust, covering the sky and the sun. People outside had difficulty breathing, and they squinted their eyes one by one, and were choked by the dust from time to time.

People from the Rain Tribe are used to it, but they are extremely uncomfortable with the young travelers who came out for the first time. They look at the dim sky and feel depressed.

"I think the place where our tribe is really great." Lei looked at the weather outside, closed the window, and said to Shao Xuan.

For Lei and others, they were willing to live in the ferocious beast forest, rather than in such a windy and sandy land, but for the people of the Yu tribe, they would rather live in such a place than step into the ferocious beast forest.

"It's like this outside, so let's go to bed early. Maybe when you wake up, there will be no sand outside." Tuo thought optimistically.

Shao Xuan is not so optimistic. Yang Sui said that it is best not to go out tomorrow, as it will obviously be worse than today. In the astronomical phenomena, Shao Xuan still believes in Yang Sui.

As for asking for rain...

Rain tribes are not so much worshipping the water from the sky, but rather saying that the people of the Rain tribes are the powerful force behind the "rain". Rain is nothing more than a messenger who conveys power, a stage for the "strong and mysterious power". Whoever can ask for rain will think that whoever has such power will worship with all their hearts.

However, it is unknown whether that power really exists and how powerful it looks. (To be continued...)

ps: Someone asked about the slave rank, which borrowed the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Zuo Zhuan. The Seventh Year of Zhaogong": "There are ten days in heaven and ten people are ten levels. The lower part is the superior, and the superior is the same. Therefore, the king and ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, ministers, and ministers.
