Ouch, hey. "At the junction of the courtyard wall and the thatched hut, several Yi men and women were drinking and having fun enthusiastically. A roasted lean chicken was passed around in their hands. Every time it was passed, a piece would be missing, and the chicken was taken. The person opened his mouth happily and started chewing. This was indeed a tempting scene for a hungry and cold little girl, Ujida thought. Her stomach was already growling. Yesterday she only ate one roasted pigeon. , She has not eaten anything today. She is hungry and thirsty, and the aroma of wine and food and the joy of feasting strongly attract her.
She took a step forward, and another, until the men and women who were feasting noticed her. A man and a woman stood up at the same time to greet her, gesturing to invite her to dine with them.
Ujda sat down at the table like a lost little girl. In front of her, on the broad leaves were placed a few baked cakes, a handful of salted olives, and a bowl filled with wine. Wooden bowl, as for the meat, she had to wait until the chicken was passed to her. Although the banquet is so shabby, this is indeed the standard of ordinary Yi people's family gatherings. Only when offering sacrifices to the Guru, or during weddings and funerals, will cattle and sheep be added to the banquet, and scones will be eaten. They were also dyed by flowers collected in advance by slaves. As for other varieties of flowers and colors, the Yi people had neither seen them nor thought of introducing them. Most of the slaves they could capture were farmers caught from the fields. They were no better than the barbarians in cooking, so they just sat on the gold and silver they plundered and ate these poor meals with peace of mind. To be satisfied.
But Ujida is a girl who has seen the outside world. She knows that in the same world, there are people who do not carry swords all day long and hide in the shadows of trees, and the roads are not all wild trees hiding slaves. There will also be flat fields, neat trees, and villages that make no secret of their existence. In those villages, old people and women are walking around alone calmly, either feeding pigs or watering vegetable gardens planted with fruit trees. water. Vendors carrying various valuable goods walked carefree on the road. When meeting other people, their first reaction was not to throw away the goods and run away, but to approach them and ask them if they had anything they liked. Where the rivers meet, there is always a decent town, in which hundreds of restaurants are opened. Each one is vying to study carefully in cooking. As long as you pay, the smallest shop can display ten different dishes. The dishes range from chicken to beef. They can do this because the roads are safe. Butchers can go to the countryside every day to buy and transport it to the city to cut and sell. So if someone wants to taste beef, he does not have to wait for his neighbor to kill the cow for a feast. He only needs to pay a few copper coins. You can add a beef dish in front of you, and because the cook has cooked beef dishes more than once, the heat will be fully guaranteed.
"What will the Guru do to that world?"
She couldn't help asking this question in her mind, and the answer was obvious. If the high priest's army had not been defeated under the city of Shuanghe, but had occupied Shuanghe, they would have violently taken away those things that could be exchanged for things from slave traders and were easily accessible. The gold and silver carried, as well as the young men and women who could be used as slaves, were left behind to die. The restaurant cooks who were lucky enough to be caught had little chance to display their skills in Yishan, because the owner needed them to cultivate fields and herd sheep. Even if they were willing to let them stay in the kitchen, they would not be able to cook the same level of food as before. Food - There will be no butcher shop or six-storey shop for everyone in Yishan, nor will there be fragrant spices shipped from Danxia Kingdom. Their skills are not used to roast a whole cow, nor are they used to bake the rough bread that is most commonly used in Yishan.
Moreover, none of the majestic, small and exquisite houses and other buildings in Shuanghe County will be left. The Yi troops also need firewood for cooking. It is obviously easier and more convenient to tear down a few ready-made doors and windows than to go out of the city to cut down trees. The Yi people There is no concept of fire prevention. As long as you live here for a long time, fire is inevitable. At that time, the Yi people will abandon this city that they plundered and burned, return to the Yi Mountains they are familiar with, and let Shuanghe County be desolate after this war.
According to the high priest, this behavior will continue, and countless slaves and gold and silver will fill the huts of every chieftain and barbarian warrior. Ujida knows that every barbarian who hears the propaganda will Rejoice in this, for they could not imagine that a different way of life, a life far better than theirs, was about to be destroyed by their expedition.
Ujda shuddered suddenly, what was she thinking? She was actually questioning the Guru!
Every Yi people know that the Great Guru is their master and their protector. The Great Guru bestows divine power on the priests and gives the chieftains and warriors the power to catch slaves. And they rely on these to survive in the deep mountains. Worry about food. As long as the Yi people worship the Guru, men do not need to cultivate fields or feed pigs, and women do not need to burn fires or grind mills. All these necessary chores are completed by the slaves that the Guru gives them the opportunity to capture. If he does not have slaves , he should make a wish to the great god, make a wish to the priest, and then go to the neighbors or outside the mountain to catch a few, and he will have everything. If he does not catch them, it means that his wish to the great god is not enough. If he is caught by others, If he is captured, then... then he can't come back anyway, and there will be no chance to give the priests a bad review.
Where did this...this last thought come from?
Ujida thought in stunned silence, not noticing that the men and women who had been exchanging cups and cups in a serious manner just now had turned their hungry eyes to her slender neck.
A fat woman pushed aside the others and presented her with a half-eaten chicken leg. This was a large piece of meat, which was a good etiquette among the Yi people. Ujida took it in her hand smoothly, and it was The meat screamed in her hand, causing all the men and women who had just been salivating at her to change their colors.
"Guru!" Ujda called out habitually. Her will immediately became clear, and she realized what kind of crisis she was in. She walked into the disguised barbarian residence as expected, but was surrounded by other people. The incident attracted attention and I did not make sufficient preparations for the battle, but it was still too late.
She stood up with a lunge and continued to call the Guru, praying for his divine favor. At the same time, she quickly grabbed the wooden bowl in front of her with both hands and threw it over the face of the "barbarian" closest to her.
