Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

The people of Sun Island have more faith in Poseidon than in imperial power.They attach no less importance to the sacrificial ceremony than the people attach to the emperor.

When the sacrificial ceremony began, only the sound of drums could be heard. Before Zhu Si showed up, they had already put aside their distracting thoughts and concentrated on praying in their hearts.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

"Boom-boom-boom-"

Two maids in gray cloaks were seen at the door, each playing a drum, appearing in Wen Xian's field of vision.

The maids were not walking normally as usual, they seemed to be doing some specific dance steps under their feet.Every step is on the beat and has a fixed position.

Following closely behind were two more maids.However, they were not playing drums, but guarding Zhu Li on both sides, one on the left and the other on the right, matching Zhu Li's dance steps.

That's right, Zhu Li appeared with a blessing dance.

She wears two strings of bells on both wrists, and when she dances the blessing dance, the bells make a pleasant tinkling sound.

Wen Xian vaguely saw Zhu Li's serious and numb expression from Zhu Li's cloak and hat.

Even though she had danced countless times, she was still not used to dancing in front of so many people.

After that, two more maids playing drums finished the ceremony.The maids did what they were doing carefully and escorted Zhu Si to the altar.

When the entire blessing team appeared in the square, their formation changed and turned into a circle with Zhu Li in the middle.

Zhu Li, on the other hand, tapped her toes, changed her dance steps, and walked up to the altar step by step.

Wen Xian glanced around and saw that the expressions on the faces of the people at this moment were even more respectful.

She secretly smacked her tongue, this sacrificial ceremony was really grand.

She even suspected that the people on Sun Island were not ordinary people at all, but secluded members of a large family.

Otherwise, how could there be such a sacrificial ceremony?

Wen Xian stared at Zhu Li, and after a moment, she heard an ancient and obscure chant humming from Zhu Li's mouth.

The sound of singing reached my ears, it was obscure but very ethereal, it seemed to be able to cleanse the soul.

Wen Xian closed her eyes and felt it for a moment, then immediately opened her eyes to see what Zhu Li was going to do.

This was the first time she had encountered this kind of sacrificial ceremony in her past life, so of course she was very interested.

Zhu Li and her maids came to the pyre first and danced three rounds of blessing dance around the pyre.Then it took on a circular shape and stood still around the firewood pile.

At this time, it was the turn of the village chief and Zhu Qing, who had been waiting aside, to appear.

Each of them held a lit torch. The village chief stood beside the cauldron, while Zhu Qing handed the torch to Zhu Li and then stepped aside.

Zhu Li nodded, took the torch with both hands and raised it high, and another string of chants different from just now came.

After the singing ended, Zhu Li shouted: "Light the fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Li and the village chief lit the two pyres with torches at the same time.

With a "boom", the two piles of firewood burst into flames.Then the flames continued to rise, burning more and more fiercely.

Zhu Li said loudly: "The fire is dancing in the sky, the weather is good, get up!"

The crowd instantly erupted in excited shouts: "Aaaaaaaaaaah~ The weather is going well, the weather is going well."

Wen Xian and others:...

They really know how to play, they are like idiots who have never seen the world.

Before they could react, the crowd suddenly began to perform a bonfire dance around the cauldron in an orderly manner.

Xue Xiaohua pulled the stunned Wen Xian and said happily: "Dance along, sisters Wen."

Wen Xian and others: ...Okay, just dance and go with the flow.

They also followed the crowd and jumped around three times before stopping to rest.

As for the little junior high school student, she was nestled in Wen Xian's arms, clapping her hands happily, not at all frightened by this battle.

After the bonfire dance was over, Zhu Li and her maid were sitting on the ground around their sacrificial bonfire, closing their eyes and meditating to pray.

Xue Xiaohua quietly told Wen Xian that this was praying for blessings, reaching directly to heaven and communicating with the god of the sea.

By the time they finish meditating there, the big pot of rice will be almost ready.

At the same time, the people around the cauldron did not take any time off. They all sat on the ground like Zhu Li and began to pray with their eyes closed.

Anyone who has any unfulfilled wishes can talk to Poseidon at this time.If Poseidon hears it, it will really come true.

Xue Xiaohua also sat on the floor and seriously began to make a wish.

Wen Xian glanced around and turned back, and found that Jiang Jingwan and others, like the others, were closing their eyes and making a wish.

Therefore, she was the only one still awake.No, there is still the little junior high school student in my arms.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she simply followed the crowd and started making wishes.

She doesn't care what other people's wishes are, but hers is simple.Either let her go back to modern times, or let her live out her life peacefully.

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of aroma came from the big pot, causing everyone to open their eyes one after another and look at the pot eagerly.

After the whole sacrificial ceremony, all that was left was to eat a big pot of rice.

"It smells so good, Sister Wen." Xue Xiaohua leaned close to Wen Xian and whispered, "Sister Wen, do you know what's in this? I smell the smell of bacon and fungi."

She has eaten bacon, and she has also eaten mushrooms.Could it be that bacon and mushroom soup is cooked in this?

"Hiss~" Xue Xiaohua couldn't help but licked the corner of her mouth, eager to eat.

Wen Xian rubbed her nose and smiled knowingly.She thought she probably knew what was cooking in the cauldron.

If you guessed it correctly, what is cooked here is stewed rice.It's that kind of hodgepodge, stewed rice with all the dishes.

But she deliberately didn't say it, and instead said, "Maybe it has everything. When the pot is opened later, you will naturally know what it is."

It’s better to have a sense of expectation. When there are expectations, there will be surprises.

Sure enough, when Zhu Qing opened the lid of the pot, a large pot full of stewed rice was revealed.

Wen Xian stood at the front and discovered that in addition to bacon and mushrooms, the stewed rice also contained vegetables such as bamboo shoots, taro, carrots, and dried cowpeas.

It is worth mentioning that the rice used in this pot of stewed rice is all polished rice, not brown rice.

At this time, the crowd could not wait to come forward and eat this bowl of refined rice.

However, Zhu Qing seemed not to notice and only nodded towards Zhu Li.

Zhu Li clasped her hands together, and the maid behind her took a basin of batter and walked towards the pot.

Wen Xian tilted her head thoughtfully, weren't they going to post cakes?

In fact, her intuition was right. The maids were pasting cakes on the cauldron next to each other.

Wen Xian:......

With polished rice, pilaf, and white flour pancakes, the originally restless crowd fell silent, and then kowtowed in the direction of Zhu Li: "Thank you, Lord Poseidon, and thank you, Lord Zhu Si."

In previous years, half of the meals were brown rice, and more were soup rice.But this time it turned out to be dry rice or polished rice, not to mention the addition of white flour pancakes. (End of chapter)
