Ujida walked through the Gala Cave where she had lived since she was a child. Even after she first set out to Jiming Village, she had only been away for a short period of time. However, in such a short period of time, the changes in Gala Cave Bigger than she had seen in the previous ten years. First of all, the population has increased greatly, it can be said that it has more than doubled. In the past, her father also captured many slaves, but most of them were sold, and only a few remained because they were captured from nearby areas. Slaves are easy to escape, and if they are used to cultivate land too far away, there is a risk of being captured by others. Therefore, the increase in the population of Gala Cave mainly relies on the reproduction of local cave people rather than the addition of external populations. It was different now. Hualin's escort brought the Yi people from far away to Gala Cave. It was very difficult for them to escape.
Secondly, these people are carrying out large-scale construction around Gala Cave. All the old bamboo trees on the surrounding hillsides have been cut down. The cleared hillsides on the outside have become bushes and grasslands suitable for grazing. In addition to using the felled trees for salt wells, Most of the huts were built for these new people. The shapes of the huts were different from those she had seen before, not to mention the interlaced drainage canals and many other things she had never seen in Gala Cave or in the mountains. I have seen things in other villages and even cities, but these are nothing compared to the hillsides near Gala Cave.
On these mountains, the bushes and grass have disappeared, and the entire mountain top has been reshaped. It looks like a huge staircase, instead of a wooden log used in the mountains with horizontal bamboos nailed to both sides, it looks like a fish bone ladder. It is the kind of solid stone steps used at the entrance of the ancestral hall outside the mountain. There are no cattle or sheep grazing on the mountain, but it doesn't look like plowed fields either. Huge green leaves grow on the flat land. Covered stones and water channels can be seen under the leaves swaying in the wind. The mist of hot water rises between the leaves. .
Originally, each of these changes was enough to make a little girl - even if she was a priest - stop and ask questions here and there, but Ujda's steps did not slow down at all, allowing the person who came to greet her to The people in Galadong were all surprised.
She didn't say anything about what happened to her after she went on an expedition with the high priest. In fact, she didn't say anything. But the barbarians were not surprised by this. Priests never liked talking to non-priests, and they preferred to spend their time talking to non-priests. In terms of communicating with the gods, besides, regarding the high priest's expedition, she must have been preparing to have a secret conversation with Chieftain Paigang. Therefore, the Yi people all noticed the abnormality on Ujida. Some people thought that this was because she felt that there were more important things. After Chief Paigang talked with her, she would naturally ask about the changes around her. In addition, Some people think that Ujda's change is very unusual. She is a priest with talent and combat experience. She is a noble who has always been treated as an adult, and she has never lived up to this treatment in the past, but she After all, depending on your age, appropriate response is one thing, but not even rolling your eyes at new things is too unusual.
Before they reached the entrance of Gala Cave, the second messenger came. This messenger came to convey the will of Chief Paigang.
"No, I won't see you today."
This sentence soon set off a huge wave of silence among the Yi people. None of them was stupid enough to talk about it in front of a real priest. These people were all relatives, living together for many years, and often When carrying out operations such as night raids side by side, they only need a few looks and gestures to communicate. Ujida solved this problem in her own way. She walked straight into the Gala Cave, and Chief Paigang's order seemed to her as if it didn't exist.
It was only after she passed by that the guards thought about why they had allowed her to pass. They should have stopped her. Not that they really wanted to raise their swords against a powerful priest. At least, they had to put their hands on the scabbard. , make a drawing action to knock out the weapon and make a sound. But when Ujda walked by, they were like frogs stared at by snakes. Perhaps worse, the frogs at least knew that their fear came from snakes, and they knew nothing.
Recalling afterwards, at that moment, a cold feeling penetrated their bodies. One guard said that it felt like being buried in a grave. He had stayed vigil in the cold nights of Yishan countless times. , whenever the sun sets, the temperature will drop in a short period of time, allowing every sentry to experience the feeling of being soaked in cold water. However, this time is different. If he had to distinguish between the two, he would say that the latter is cold, The former is death.
Another guard said that he felt the feeling of a sacrifice that had been drained of blood. The blood vessels in his body seemed to be empty at that moment, which made him wonder for a moment whether he was alive or dead, leaving a shadow behind. Wandering here. He was talking about today's lunch a moment ago, but at that moment, he thought he had been dead for hundreds of years, and the taste was a distant and vague memory to him.
Ujida ignored the problem she left, and she just continued to move forward. Others thought she was going to see Paigang Chieftain, but she knew exactly what she was looking for.
When another priest in Gala Cave saw Ujda's face, he made a hissing sound as if he was being tied up in a noose. Ujda only asked one question: "Where is she?"
The priest waved his hands wildly, pointing in different directions each time. If it were an ordinary person, this performance would be enough to make him completely confused, but not Ujida. She immediately started on her way, heading in the right direction.
After Chieftain Paigang heard the news that she had come and left, he took a long breath. It was not that he had any prejudice against his daughter, but that after the last incident, he kept a distance from every priest. Now, He shuddered at every prayer offered to the Guru. He was no longer the fool who thought he could negotiate a price with God. He walked to the basin and scooped up some cold water to wash his face.
He really needs to calm down, Chief Paigang thought. Being afraid of his daughter and being afraid of being close to the stream is really... too much.
He raised his head, took a soft cloth, and wiped his face.
The remaining water in the basin reflected a skeleton. ()
