Poison brother in ancient times

Chapter 117

Jiao Kun walked on the streets of Maocheng with a few dejected clansmen.They finally had to admit that the saying "Maocheng is shrouded in poisonous smog" is not meant to scare people.In the beginning, the Jiaotou people were more or less the first to vote in Maocheng before they acted in other cities, but just because it is poisonous, not everyone in Maocheng can vote.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the Jiaotou people thought it was just clouds passing by, but suddenly, all the Maocheng people came out of the houses, raised their heads, stretched out their arms, and cheered overhead.

The horn-headed man subconsciously raised his head. The outstretched wings of the two huge flying dragons almost covered the entire sky, even the sun disappeared.

"Who is this?!" Jiao Kun just exclaimed, he didn't want anyone to answer him.

"This is the return of our Elder Liehei and Elder Lieguo, the fathers of our big witch and patriarch!" The people from Maocheng squeezed over heard Jiao Kun's exclamation, and replied proudly his question.

"Two fathers?" a horned man exclaimed.

"It's adopted." The Maocheng man laughed, thinking that the Jiaotou people are so rare.

The horn-headed man who exclaimed blushed, but he just didn't react.

"Is your big witch... very young, with huge snakes and scorpions?" Jiao Kun asked the Maocheng people.

"Yes, those are the spirit snake and the holy scorpion, but they are not the only ones. If you are lucky, you can also see other holy insects." He has no intention of leaving, and is obviously very proud of telling foreigners about the things in his own city.

"Then..." Jiao Kun wanted to ask again, but suddenly someone yelled, "The great witch is dancing!"

This Maocheng native who originally had a face of "you ask~you ask~why don't you ask~" turned around and ran away.As soon as Jiao Kun heard that it was about the "big witch", he immediately followed. He was tall and had long legs, and the people here all ran in one direction, so they were not afraid of getting lost, so they ran faster than many locals.

Poor other horned people, by the time they realized it, the head of the clan had already run away and disappeared, so he could only chase after the crowd in a daze.

_(: 3ゝ∠)_Bai Rui said that the sacrificial dance should be done in broad daylight in the city. I originally refused, but they said...

If I refuse, Starhunter will not be able to return home within a month qwq, so I can only duang for a while.

Jiao Kun's tallness gradually ceased to be an advantage, not because the people around him were taller than him, but because they all carried war bugs.Jiao Kun saw the giant python and giant scorpion, although they were much smaller than the ones he saw that day, they were still enough to make people shudder.In addition, there are giant toads jumping up and down, centipedes running like flying, and long-legged spiders as tall as a man.

Originally thought that the three-year-olds from Maocheng were all insect warriors, and they were made up to scare the savages, but now that they were on the scene, Jiao Kun couldn't help but sweat all over his back, and sighed secretly. People treat this as a joke, otherwise they really don't know how they died.

Thinking about the encounter yesterday, if that person is really a great witch in Maocheng, then...

Following the flow of people to the east of the city, Jiao Kun discovered that there was a very large open space—after all, they had just entered the city, and they were already familiar with the terrain when they came out.

"Today is not a special day. Why does the witch dance?" When people arrived at their destination, they began to whisper.

"Didn't the two elders Lie Guo and Lie Hei come back just now? I heard that the road construction team met a big guy this time. It should be a celebration."

"That's great, I haven't seen the big witch dance for a long time."

"The Great Witch of Maocheng, don't you often dance the sacrificial dance?" Jiao Kun couldn't help asking.

Although he was an outsider, the two of them were very happy to answer: "It's not that the great witch doesn't often dance the sacrificial dance, it's that apart from the four festivals of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the great witch usually only dances in places where no one is around."

"why?"

"Because the sacrificial dance is a way to communicate with the gods, the big witch doesn't like to be disturbed by others."

"Then where does the big witch dance in normal times?"

"..." Most of the Maocheng people who heard their conversations turned their heads around and looked at Jiao Kun with strange eyes, and Jiao Kun's heart skipped a beat.But on the one hand, is his interest in that person so great that he is so unscrupulous?

"The big witch is always looking for a place to dance outside the city." Who would have thought that those Maocheng people would answer him, but their expressions looked even more unfriendly.

"If you want to find it, you can find it."

"But it's best to tell your companions in advance."

"Let them remember to collect your body."

If Jiaokun's people were here, regardless of whether they were surrounded by Maocheng people with powerful war insects, they would all have to fight.

On the contrary, Jiao Kun became more indifferent, and even thanked the people around him.

——When I came here, I came with the feeling of watching a monkey dominate the backcountry, but when I got there, I realized that it was a real giant tiger.

Although Jiao Kun was still a little arrogant, his mind was not too confused, and he barely understood the situation.

"Why do you keep talking about the great witch, but not your patriarch?" However, Jiao Kun discovered another strange thing.People in Maocheng mentioned more about their great witch, but the patriarch who was the real controller was rarely mentioned.

"The great witch is a god, and the patriarch is the leader!" Before the adults could say anything, a child who had been watching them curiously yelled out, but everyone who heard it burst into laughter: "The patriarch and the elders have come out!" At that moment, the people in the front row shouted, and the attention of all Maocheng people was diverted.

The child's answer didn't answer Jiao Kun's question at all. He looked at those people who appeared on the high platform. If this was on the street, Jiao Kun probably would not have thought that these people turned out to be the elders of Maocheng.He couldn't even recognize who the patriarch was. Those people were tall and short, male and female, young and old, ordinary people and Mu people.Given the fanatical reactions of the people around them, they probably didn't have time to help Jiao Kun point out who the patriarch was.

Soon, Jiao Kun's attention shifted from those people to the terrifying monsters crawling to the square.It's not that Jiao Kun has never seen bigger and more ferocious beasts than them, but he has never seen so many different monsters gather together, live in harmony with each other, and... obey the orders of one person.

Jiao Kun stared closely at the person sitting on the white giant snake, even though it was far away, it was obvious that it was the person he saw last night.Such a powerful witch, how could there be another person in this world?He glanced at the high platform again, this time full of jealousy, Jiao Kun didn't think that anyone on that platform was qualified to be the partner of the great witch.

***

Bai Rui, as an otaku squatting at home, dancing in front of the public, or a dance that is extremely strange and enchanting with five poisons, is really too shameful to play.

Helpless, the enemy is too powerful, and there is still a hostage in hand, and the hostage is still cooperating with the kidnappers qwq, Bai Rui has no choice but to follow.

Sitting on Bailong's head, while Bai Rui was downcast, he unconsciously wanted to go wrong.

In fact, it's not that they don't understand why Hei Dad and the others find opportunities to push him out to dance sacrifices whenever they have time. It's really that everyone is full and has nothing to do now (this is a compliment).The manpower for breeding and planting in Maocheng has stabilized, and the soldiers no longer go out for hunting, but simply as guards or to open up territories.Today's Maocheng people have not learned what laziness is, and Maocheng has always been in a state of labor shortage. Every household can find something to do, have food and drink, and have surplus value.

The emergence of worm money is because Bai Rui saw that it was too troublesome for everyone to carry food every time to trade.I also thought about it with Lie Xing. Maocheng itself is not bad for food, and food is used as a reserve. In addition to making armor for soldiers and making some tools or accessories, the shells that the big bugs have shed over the years still have a large amount of accumulation. Realized the currency circulation.

The current situation in Maocheng, in the written language of the earth, is that the material civilization has been enriched, and people have begun to seek spiritual civilization.

Although Hei Dad and the others have no theoretical foundation, Bai Rui's instinctive reaction is unmatched. Generally, when Bai Rui is being urged to dance, it is also time for everyone to relax.

It seems that I have to think about how to find something for everyone to do. Gambling is definitely not acceptable. Dancing is good, but nerds can do ritual dances... so of course it is sports!If it wasn't about to start dancing now, Bai Rui really wanted to give himself two slaps, the simplest and most practical method was right there, but he never thought of it!

Bai Rui was in a happy mood, just as Bailong was in the middle of the open space, with the gu flute on his lips, Bai Rui stood up blowing the flute, colorful butterflies came from all directions with their scales scattered.

Even if the scale powder of the butterfly is not poisonous, if it is inhaled, it will be painful. Even a strong fighter like Jiao Kun will dodge as much as possible, but he found that the local Maocheng people will not only dodge, but will lean towards it, and even touch it with their hands. catch.Curiosity made Jiao Kun not dodge the next time scale powder appeared on top of his head. It was the red scale powder dropped by the red butterfly.

Jiao Kun heard an excited howl, subconsciously looked over, and found that it turned out to be an acquaintance.The young man Gu Duo was jumping up suddenly, as if he was stretching out his arms to catch a butterfly, but before he could catch it, he was dragged down by the people around him.But he didn't see his own clansman, Jiao Kun shook his head in his heart, although the people he brought were loyal enough, but they were too stupid.

As soon as the sound of the flute changed, Jiao Kun hurriedly looked into the field.It happened that Bai Rui's body was covered with a faint purple mist, and he fell from the top of the giant snake's head.

The giant snake's head was raised high, but the distance wasn't too high. Originally, Bai Rui should have fallen down in the blink of an eye, and some outsiders couldn't help but exclaimed, because if they went up that distance, they would probably fall down.But Bai Rui rolled over from the snake, like a feather falling from a bird, fluttering, and like an invisible rope tied around his waist, he let people down little by little.But the people watching soon erased the metaphor in their minds. The feathers are too soft and the rope is too stiff. They are not Bai Rui who is playing the flute in mid-air and whirling, bringing a dense purple mist. It has wings, not the bird kind, nor the bat's, but lighter and nimbler ones, such as...butterflies.

The lively Gu Duo didn't know anything other than staring wide-eyed, and the seasoned Jiao Kun unknowingly opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a blue bird's egg into it, and some of them had already knelt down, only to be dragged away by the people from Maocheng next to them. Get up in case you get excited later and trample them to death.

It's no wonder that everyone sees it more often than not. I have never seen a great witch who can fly by relying solely on his own ability. The sky has always been considered the domain of birds and ancestral spirits.

No matter what people are thinking, the sound of the flute is still the same, Bai Rui's dance steps are still the same, he is dancing the drunk dance for nine days, in the game there is only one movement of turning around, but here it is physical work.He jumped between his servants' Gu, the purple Gu mist continued to spread outwards, more and more people smelled a sweet and wonderful smell, and some people in the front row began to sway with red cheeks stand up.

After Jiao Kun smelled the sweet fragrance, his brows gradually frowned, because the smell felt like wine to him, and they spent a lot of money in Jiaotou City every year, and they could only buy a few skins from Shuiyou City. bag.But although those wines make people feel smoky and tame after drinking, when they first drink it, they are really not flattering.Sour, musty, bitter, and some strange and indescribable smells.Even so, wine is the best drink, and only he, the patriarch and the great witch in the clan, can secretly taste the remaining bit after the sacrifice every year.

Such a smell appeared in the Maocheng Great Witch Festival Dance, is it his ability?Or Maocheng can make wine, what method did this great witch use?

Jiao Kun's mind was extremely confused, and when he came back to his senses, the sacrificial dance was over.Everyone cheered for the big witch who left, and the people of Maocheng and even outsiders threw items into the field.There are worthless wild flowers, straw mats, ornaments, cloth, and most of all kinds of food, many of which are broken, and some people can't even put them in because they stand too far back. The thing was thrown into the open space, but fell on the person in front.But all kinds of things are still overwhelming. Of course, no one dares to hide the offerings received from other people at this time.

Looking at the fanatics, Jiao Kun slightly understood the first half of the child's sentence - the great witch is a god.

In fact, after the dance, the "god" witch hid back home as quickly as possible, and he didn't plan to go out again in a short time.

Nima is shameful enough every time he dances, and the reaction of the audience after the dance always makes him feel like he will be kicked away by others after the pole dance.

It will take a while for Hei Dad and Lie Xing to come back. Drunk Dance for Nine Days comes with a small side effect that the system didn't mention at all, that is, it will make people drunk.The people in the tribe will probably party until midnight.

Bai Rui didn't go to weave, only a little bit left to finish weaving, he was not in a hurry, but after dancing, the sweet aroma of the fruit wine made Bai Rui a little greedy.After entering the house, Bai Rui went straight to the five pottery urns placed in the corner of the first floor.

Although Maocheng has entered the age of pottery, every household has pots and pots, and those with small assets also have pottery bowls and plates.

But now the most primitive method is used to make pottery. There is no flywheel when making pottery blanks. There is only a round wooden board placed on the ground. Made it out.There is no need for a kiln to burn pottery. First, three or four layers of dry firewood are stacked on the ground, and then the dried pottery is put on top, and hay is placed on the outside of the stacked pottery. It's ok with hay.

The fired pottery is very brittle, and the thickness is not uniform. It can't stand the high temperature. It is absolutely impossible to fry. The oil temperature is too high.

In Bai Rui's opinion, the only advantage of this kind of pottery is probably its strong air permeability.However, even nerds have followed the trend to make wine and rice wine by themselves, and the only benefit of high air permeability has become the bane of Bai Rui's repeated wine making failures.I haven't succeeded once in five years _(: 3ゝ∠)_.

He also thought about using wooden barrels to make wine, but hooping barrels, he thought it was simple, but actually found that it was a very skillful job.All the wooden barrels made by the experimenter are leaky, and the water barrels and wine barrels can't be used anymore, they can only be used as rice barrels.A barrel made by hollowing out wood is not leaky, but it is too wasteful.

It's easy for his baby to knock down a big tree, but hollowing out a big tree to make wine barrels, he's not an environmentalist, now that the tree is so lush, Bai Rui also thinks it's a waste of things.

After several revisions, this time Bai Rui learned the lessons of the previous few years, and he didn't think about tossing too big a container. The pottery urns are only as high as a person's calf, and the shape is similar to a wine jar. Not only the mouth of the urn is covered with yellow mud, but even the whole urn The body was also covered with yellow mud to prevent air leakage.

There is no paper, and the place where the pottery urn is sealed is first covered with a thin layer of cloth, and then wiped with yellow mud.The pottery urn was brittle, and Bai Rui didn't dare to use too much force when peeling off the mud seal, for fear of accidentally breaking the urn.After finally removing the mud seal, he leaned to the mouth of the urn and smelled it, it was a bit sour, but probably, maybe, maybe, there was a little wine smell.

Bai Rui was afraid that he smelled of alcohol just after dancing drunk for nine days, so he smelled it wrong.So I went outside to wash my nose with water, and then came back to smell it.
