Chapter 140: What is the Walled God?
"Boy! It's a boy! ”
The midwife skillfully wiped the blood on the baby's face, nose, and mouth, and began to cut the baby's umbilical cord. After disposing of the umbilical cord, he continued to wipe the blood stains on the baby's body. When he saw that it was a boy, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.
When they heard that it was a boy, everyone turned their heads to look at it, and they all had smiles on their faces.
Right now! What is missing in the stockade is boys!
During the war years, men were the most lacking! Most of them are women and widows! Men must go into battle to kill the enemy and defend their homes and country. Women and widows, on the other hand, are not only responsible for producing the population, but also for farming, providing rations, and feeding everyone......
Brother Yangzi ran over, squeezed into the crowd, and was so excited that he knelt on his knees, supported his son with both hands, and looked at it again and again. And then! knelt down in front of the great hero, laughing so much that he couldn't speak. But the corners of his eyes were so excited that tears flowed.
All the survivors gathered around, surrounding Yoko's family at the core, laughing and dancing happily.
Zhuang Zhou held a long sword and stood on the periphery of the crowd, tears of excitement in the corners of his eyes. But! At this time, he was expressionless.
As a Taoist heir, he should be "not happy with things, not worried about himself". Be able to restore peace to your mind as quickly as possible.
After the rejoicing, everyone went out of the canyon mouth together, came to the residence of the raw cannibals, and emptied the belongings of the raw cannibals. And then! Carrying the dead relatives to the village, the team of hundreds of people walked on the narrow mountain road, so long, long!
Zhuang Zhou carried an injured little girl on his back, and Ah Zhuang supported an injured little boy and walked at the back of the team.
Ten days later, when he returned to the stockade, the whole stockade was jubilant again.
Stayed at the bottom of the mountain for one night, and the next day, Zhuang Zhou was ready to go up the mountain. It's been more than 20 days since I came out, and the salt on the mountain should have been eaten, so I don't know what the situation of Master is now?
He came down the mountain to buy salt this time, but after such a long delay, the salt still didn't land. He went to find Grandma, who was not at home. He went to Ah Zhuang's house again, and Ah Zhuang said that there was no salt in his house. The salt and other goods seized from the people of the raw food tribe have not yet been divided among the village chiefs.
"I heard from my mother that the village chief and the elders are discussing, and they have named you the god of the village!" Ah Zhuang said mysteriously.
"The god of the village? What is the god of the village? ”
"Shh Ah Zhuang put his finger to his lips and gently shushed. whispered: "My mother won't let me say it!" ”
"The god of the village? The god of the village is the chief of the village, right? Zhuang Zhou touched his head and said, "I'm not the head of the village!" I'm going back! There is no salt on it, and if you don't go back, Master will only drink the blood of the beast. ”
Master Yang Zhu said that it can be said without salt, that is, it is obtained from the blood of wild beasts. It's just that! The amount of salt in the blood is too small to meet the body's needs.
Ah Zhuang's house really didn't have salt, Zhuang Zhou had to go to someone else's house, and the result was the same, because the mountain pass had been sealed by the raw food tribe for a few months, and the salt in the village had already run out. Everyone is borrowing from the east and borrowing from the west to make do with life, so that they can survive to this day.
There was no way, Zhuang Zhou had to go to the village chief, the elder and the grandmother, and let them be accommodating first, and exchange some salt for him, so that he could take it back to the master to eat.
The village chief, the elder, the grandmother and others were discussing important matters at the moment, and when they heard that Zhuang Zhou was coming, they quickly stopped and invited him in.
"Salt? Want it now? The village chief frowned and said, "Or else?" I'll ask Ah Zhuang and them to send some salt to your master first, so you don't have to go back! ”
"I'm going back! I haven't been back for more than 20 days! ”
Seeing Zhuang Zhou's anxious appearance, Grandma smiled and said, "You are not a child again!" You're an adult! You still want to go back to feeding, don't you? Your master doesn't have a milk bag? ”
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.
Zhuang Zhou's face immediately turned red. Speaking of the milk bag on the woman's body, he, a teenager who is in puberty, suddenly had a physical reaction.
"If you want to eat the milk bag, you go back!" Ah Zhuang also said with a smile.
"You want to eat! Grandma will give you something to eat! Grandma said, pretending to lift her clothes.
Zhuang Zhou's face turned even redder.
After making Zhuang Zhou's joke, the village chief asked people to take salt and asked Ah Zhuang and a few others to go up the mountain to deliver salt, and quietly ordered a few words. After Ah Zhuang heard this, the joy was mentioned.
"You saved our stockade, how can we let you go so easily?" After arranging for Ah Zhuang to send salt up the mountain, the village chief said it directly. "You are eighteen years old this year, and we will crown you according to the rules of the village......
"Your stockade is also crowned? Eighteen years old to be crowned? On our side of Da Zhou, we are twenty years old before the coronation ceremony! Zhuang Zhou asked.
"Hmmm! All the same! Zhai Chang smiled: "We are also the people of the Great Zhou, although we are on the territory of the Qin State. We have the rules of our village, and you can get married after the crowning ceremony! ”
"Marriage?" Zhuang Zhou's face turned even redder, and he felt a little hot.
"Hmmm! We're going to marry you the prettiest girl in the stockade......"
"Wait, wait!" Hearing that he was going to find a marriage match for himself, Zhuang Zhou was anxious. said: "I promised my mother, I will marry Rong'er as my wife!" ”
Seeing Zhuang Zhou's anxious and embarrassed appearance, everyone laughed again one by one.
"What man doesn't marry a few women?" The village chief stopped laughing and said: "In the war years, in the era of lack of men, men don't have to do anything, just sow seeds. Our stockade cannot be exterminated, and neither can the Great Zhou world! You know what? ”
"Me, me, me? I don't do sowing men! I only need Rong'er alone! I'm ...... I" Zhuang Zhou also wanted to say, I also promised my mother, I can also marry Sister Qing'er!
"Hmm!" The old village chief nodded with satisfaction, and said to the elder, grandma and others: "It's better to be a man like this!" Don't care! Good! That's it! ”
Zhuang Zhou didn't know what Lao Zhaigong was talking about, he felt that it had something to do with him. "What's the matter?" he asked. That's it? ”
The old village chief and the others smiled weirdly and ignored him.
"Ready, ready! Let's do the god ceremony tonight! ”
"Ritual of canonization? What is the ritual of canonization? Zhuang Zhou stood there and asked stupidly.
The old village chief waved his hand, and walked out of the two young descendants from both sides, and couldn't help but say, just take him and leave.
"Change your clothes! You are the god of our village tonight! ”
"The god of the village should wear the clothes of the god of the village and accept the worship of all the people in our village!"
The two young students explained to Zhuang Zhou while holding him.
"What is the god of the wall? I don't want to be a god! Zhuang Zhou asked.
"The god of the village is the guardian god! You are the patron saint of our stockade! ”
"If it's not you! Your stockade is finished, no one dares to leave the stockade, and you won't suffocate to death? Isn't it? ……”
