The Adventures of the Mad County King on the Domain [Infrastructure]

Regardless of the outcome of the quarrel, at least in the process, it deeply hurt the soul of the innocent person—Xiaoxiu.However, even though he was deeply hurt by it, the next day, Xiao Xiu followed Xie Qian resignedly and went straight to the altar of the Lemo people to sacrifice to the great shaman god. The bamboo building that is full of sky.

As more and more people moved out of the forest, the original silence returned to the forest.In contrast, these bamboo houses built in remote areas and specially built for shamans, with both living and sacrificial functions, have become less convenient than before.

The better the bamboo building is built, the more uncomfortable it is for the shamans now.Letting these people who are accustomed to being worshiped by believers live in isolation is almost equivalent to letting the fish out of the water and the vegetation out of Yangon. They simply do not have the ability to survive alone in the mountains and forests.But there are so many obstacles to moving back to the county town.Firstly, the temples and shrines in the county town were all demolished by scavengers. The engineering team repaired so many houses, but happened to miss all the buildings related to sacrifice; secondly, they ordered the county residents to build bamboo The building is under the banner of "listening more piously to the oracle of the shaman god", so believers are willing to rush to build it day and night without eating, drinking or resting.

Now, this gorgeous and extraordinary bamboo building has turned into a shackle that traps shamans and wizards, locking them in this wild jungle, and no one can escape.

Xie Qian agreed with this situation with both hands and feet, and even contributed to the flames in the dark. For example, he told the construction team led by Chen Mang not to repair any place where shamans could live.For another example, announcements are issued from time to time, warning the county residents to remember the dedication made by the shamans for everyone, and they would rather sacrifice themselves and stay away from the crowd, but also pray for everyone and pay attention to the signs of the gods, and please try not to do so on non-worship days To disturb them, so that the wizards can concentrate on serving the gods.

Regardless of whether these shamans sincerely worshiped the gods, or pretended to be miserable inside, in short, through a series of isolated means, the residents of Shu County and Xiying were separated from these gods to the greatest extent possible. Get rid of their brainwashing and control as possible.With the advent of the busy spring farming, everyone has a lot of people who are busy working, those who work, those who open up wasteland, and those who cultivate land. With the head of life, the number of people going to the mountains and forests to worship is obviously decreasing.

After climbing over the hillside and following the mountain road they had walked, it took Xie Qian and Xiao Xiu a lot of time to come to the former settlement of the Lemo people again.

The low potholes and stone kilns are no longer inhabited, they are completely vacant, and a lot of weeds grow on the ground and at the door.Occasionally, there are a few rooms that have been specially tidied up, and it can be clearly seen from the half-closed and half-opened doors that the rooms are empty, with simple dry food, water bags, and bedrolls hanging on the walls, apparently as a temporary rest for those who enter the mountain place.

Passing through rows of abandoned "houses", walking through the square once full of Lemo people, and coming to the tall bamboo building again, the appearance is quite different.The structure of the bamboo building is still impressive, but it has only been seen for two months. The bright and bright outer wall has been covered by a layer of dust, and there are even clumps of weeds growing around the corners.

High-rise buildings are built too fast, and the bamboo used has not been dried and anti-corrosion treated, and then neglected. After several rains, it is not uncommon for it to look like this.

Xie Qian didn't sigh at all, he didn't even stop for this, he kicked open the door and walked into the hall.The fire was still there, but it was weak and nearly extinguished. There was a dark pot sitting on the fire, and something was vaguely boiling in it.

Although there are no believers, Shaman Datian is still dressed in that unpleasing female attire.His cheeks were sunken, and the white powder on his face was thinner, revealing the unconcealable stubble.Hearing the sound of the door, he slowly raised his head, only glanced at it, then suddenly stood up, pointed at Xie Qian and said, "You, you!"

Xie Qian greeted: "Good morning, have you eaten yet?" Before Shaman Datian could respond, he had already come to the side of the pot, picked up the spoon and stirred it twice, and saw clearly that the pot was boiled like flour. It was mixed with grass roots, tubers and other things, and suddenly showed a clear look, and sneered, "It seems that I haven't eaten yet."

The shaman was furious, and said: "It's none of your business!!... You, you confuse the people's dog official, you cheated me into the belief of the Lemo people, the shaman god will never forgive your offense!! "

Xie Qian stepped back half a step with disgust on his face, and waved at Xiaoxiu.Xiao Xiu hurriedly took out a cushion from his backpack and put it on the ground.Xie Qian sat down reservedly, looked at the back of his hand slowly, and then turned to look at the palm of his hand, with a look of indifference and indifference, and said: "Major witch, please do your own thing, we won't be too late to chat after we finish scolding and eat. Anyway This matter is not of much benefit to this officer, but it can solve your urgent needs—at least, it will allow you to have a full meal."

The big shaman was stunned for a moment, and the angry expression on his face froze for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether to continue scolding happily, or bow down for three meals.Heaven and man fought for a short while, although he was still unable to change his position and adapt to the completely different identity from before, he said angrily: "It's a shaman, you can't shorten it..."

Although it was a rebuttal, compared with the original rebuttal, both tone and attitude were much weaker—according to Xie Qian's guess, it was probably because he was so hungry that he lost his strength.

He pretended he didn't hear the rebuttal, and said, "Stop scolding? That's fine, save some effort and do an errand for me."

"...Who wants to run an errand for you!"

Xie Qian spread his hands, and said, "It doesn't matter if I ask anyone to do the job. If you don't want to, there must be someone else who is willing. What's more, this job can't be easier for you shamans. A plausible fake news, just go back to the old business, and you can get three meals a day in exchange, isn't this a good deal?"

Shaman Datian was stunned again, and subconsciously retorted: "Ben, this wizard only obeys the instructions of the gods, and has never acted like a ghost! I don't know anything about rumors!!"

"Oh, that's right." Xie Qian stood up immediately, patted the ashes on his body, and said, "That's a pity. I'll find someone who is willing to play tricks. Xiaoxiu, where do the other magic sticks live? coming?"

Xiaoxiu immediately took out a topographic map, dog-leggedly said: "Return to the master, walk half a hillside to the east from here, there are two nearby..."

The two sang together and pretended to leave. The shaman panicked and hurriedly grabbed Xie Qian's clothes, but he didn't pull it all at once. Stopped, said: "Don't, don't go, I listened to the teachings of the Great God last night, it seems that there are a few pieces of information that need to be advertised, please stay still!!"

"..." Even though it was an act, Xiao Xiu couldn't help curling her lips, and muttered in a low voice, "It's over if I say that earlier, I've fallen to the point of gnawing on tree roots, how can I have the face to put on airs, who are you kidding! "

In such a big room, there are three people in total, even if his volume is not loud, it is enough for everyone to hear clearly.

The shaman's face was full of discomfort, but Xie Qian pretended not to hear it, and said in surprise: "Oh, is that right? It's a coincidence that the shaman god gave instructions as soon as I came. Go and preach it yourself." , I also have a successful experience of pretending to be a ghost, so it’s not a bad idea to do it for me again, and it will save me a lot of hiring expenses! I’m leaving.”

If you want to leave, you must pretend, but just as Xie Qian lifted his foot, the Shaman Datian shouted: "No!! The Shaman God did not give instructions!!! No, yes, yes, the God told me that unconditional cooperation is required The actions of the Sheriff!! Whatever the Sheriff wants to promote, I will cooperate with the content of the promotion——!!!”

"Oh." Xie Qian stopped in his tracks, and said solemnly: "Although your gods speak for me, I never force people who don't want to help you, you——"

Shaman Datian shook his head again and again, and said: "I am not unwilling, I am willing, I am really willing to do things for you!!"

"...Okay then." Xie Qian reluctantly sat down again with a half-believing look on his face, and said, "Seeing that you and I met once before, I don't bother to run into the deep mountains anymore. , I choose you."
