Chapter 182 The barrel car is available!

Chapter 182: The cylinder car is released!

After leaving Xidu, it is full of rice fields.

If it were in the past, there would be green fields, seedlings were tall and the water in the fields was rippling. Birds fell into the fields to rest and hunt, and when they walked over, they would startle a bird.

What a harmonious and beautiful pastoral scenery, thriving and full of vitality.

This is the memory in my mind. At this moment, when Yao Yun brought everyone to the field, it was already another scene.

At first glance, the seedlings still look green and oily, like green grasslands, but if you look closely, you will find that some leaves are yellow and the water in the rice fields has not completely dried up, but they are all dry, wet, and the water is almost dry.

This is still the better situation. Yao Yun walked all the way and found the paddy fields that were in a worse situation.

The paddy fields have a relatively high terrain, and the nearby small ditches and ponds have dried up and no water source. The seedlings in the paddy fields not only grow shorter than those in other places, but also look green and yellow overall, which is very obvious.

In the fields, there are busy figures of Xidu farmers everywhere.

They carried wooden barrels of all sizes on their shoulders and carried back to the water source and rice fields, as if they were using manpower to lift water for irrigation!

Yao Yun was curious, and when he walked over and saw that it was indeed not as expected that he had really relied on manpower to irrigate the paddy fields.

It is hard for Yao Yun to use manpower to irrigate this acre of land.

Not to mention that Xi has all the skills of ox plowing this year, and the cultivated land is far more than in previous years, so the amount of labor among farmers will inevitably increase greatly.

The farmers who were carrying water to irrigate saw the king and his group arrive and rushed to pay homage.

"See the king!"

Yao Yun originally thought that the people would cry to him, the king, but the result was beyond his expectations. The people saluted respectfully, and after the salutation, they showed anxious expressions on their faces.

Yao Yun knew that the people were worried about their own fields and rushed to rescue the wheat seedlings every second, so he had no intention of talking casually. After all, for these people, arable land is life. If they were harvested in the fields, they would not be able to survive.

"You'll go and go ahead and inspect it!"

The people were as if they were amnesty and ran away with buckets.

Yao Yun noticed that among a group of farmers, there was also an eight or nine-year-old child who was also carrying a small bucket of water.

"Oh, it's a disaster!" Yao Yun sighed.

Wu Tong, who was standing by, responded at this time: "King, it is indeed a natural disaster to cause drought without rain, but not every time it does not rain, it is because of the heavens, and it may be a 'disaster'!"

When Yao Yun heard this, he was stunned. If he had put it in the previous life, he would naturally sneer at this sentence, but this world is a mythical world, and it is really possible that the celestial phenomena will change due to some mysterious existence.

Yao Yun asked, "What does the second elder mean?"

Wu Tong nodded: "I have noticed that the rain seems to be different this year, but I didn't take it seriously. The situation has been getting worse these days. I tried to divine, which is indeed a sign of great danger."

Yao Yun frowned: "What does this mean?"

Witch Channel: "It means that there is a 'demon and evil spirit'. In the face of this situation, it is actually easy to solve. It only takes a living person to sacrifice to the sky to solve the problem. This is not uncommon. There are many powerful things in the mountains. They may be unintentional actions. As long as we give enough sacrifices, it will leave on its own. At that time, the rain prayer meeting will be held, and the sky will rain and dew..."

Yao Yun shook his head when he heard this. He thought there was something mysterious. Isn’t this a common method used by ancient tribes? He thought that the second elder Wu Tong had some wonderful methods, but in the end he was just a sacrificial ritual.

If it was a livestock sacrifice, Yao Yun would not bother to pay attention to it, but if it was a living sacrifice, Yao Yun could not accept it.

Yao Yun was depressed and didn't want to speak.

But Wu Tong thought that the king was shaken when he came to the farmland and saw the tragic situation, so he became more and more excited and spitted:

"King, this person sacrifice is very simple. As long as you agree, you don't need to do anything to me in the future. I will take care of it. Well, this is my duty."

"When it comes to this human sacrifice, there are two rituals. One is a fire sacrifice. This sacrifice is to take twenty copper pillars, bind slaves to the copper pillars, place them in charcoal fire, wait for the slave to roar, recite the spirit spell, and pray for the sacrifice. At that time, the charcoal fire is activated and the slave's body is burned. This method is to deal with ghosts, gods and evil things, they like to eat people's spirits and human souls."

"The second is the earth sacrifice. This method is even simpler. You just need to bury the slave alive, recite the spiritual spell, and chant the sacrifice. This is to deal with ferocious beasts and monsters. As long as it is satisfied with the sacrifice, everything can be restored to normal!"

When Yao Yun heard the second elder Wu Tong talking, he felt goose bumps coming out and a chill in his heart. This was indeed the primitive world, too barbaric and bloody, especially when the second elder Wu Tong talked about this, he actually showed an obsessive and respectful look.

"What if people are not satisfied with the offering?"

"If you are not satisfied, you can discuss it. If you don't have it, add a little more slaves. Don't worry about this king, I will communicate with it!"

Yao Yun actually asked subconsciously, but he never expected that the second elder Wu Tong's answer was so straightforward and so natural.

"hehe!"

Yao Yun subconsciously yelled twice, not much.

Wu Tong was originally full of interest, but when he heard the king "hehe", he was confused.

"Master, what does he mean?"

"It's not interesting." Yao Yun shook his head. Of course, he couldn't say anything about Wu Tong. After all, this world is like this. He is a maverick. After thinking about it, Yao Yun said:

"The Second Elder, it's not a natural disaster. Why should we succumb to power? If there is a demon, we will kill him or drive him away. Even if it's a natural disaster, we can work hard to strengthen ourselves and change the surrounding environment."

In fact, what Yao Yun wants to say is that man conquers nature!

However, after thinking about the background of this world, Yao Yun still shut up wisely.

Wu Tong was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that his king would think so. He couldn't say that the king was whimsical. After all, he would become the son of the Xia in the future. He would be happy to have such a courage, but...

"King, the other party's origin is unknown. How can we drive it away, we have no way to start. As for fighting natural disasters with our own strength, it is even more difficult. The former can be tried, while the latter is really.... Hope is slim."

Wu Tong wanted to express it in a tactful way, but he forgot the words for a while, and after a while he said that there was little hope.

Everyone walked and said, and they arrived at the Yingshui River shortly after.

The river is shimmering, the water flows fast, and the water sounds rustling.

"Why not try it in the face of a disaster?" Yao Yun saw that although the water level of Yingshui River had dropped a lot, there was still plenty of water. He immediately felt assured, swept away his previous depression and said with a smile.

Wu Tong was stunned, try it? Which one?

"Which king wants to try?"

Yao Yun said: "I have a treasure that can introduce the Yingshui River into this rice field."

Yao Yun pointed to a large area of ​​water-deficient farmland behind him.

Wu Tong shook his head repeatedly: "The water of Yingshui River has also become shallowered, and the paddy fields in the plains downstream can still be irrigated, but how to irrigate the rice in the upstream is high? Hey, you said you have a treasure, how can you ask what treasure it is?"
