Chapter 448 God Sacrifice
Ding Wei quickly squatted down and helped the loyal girl to lie down, patted her twice, and comforted her softly, "No, I'm going to sleep right away. You can sleep too."

"Oh, the quilt is covered, master." Dang Gui muttered, and was finally dragged away to play chess by Zhou Gong again.

Leaving Ding Wei lightly covering her with the quilt, she turned around to take a last look at the silver moonlight, then turned and went back to bed.

Tonight, she allowed herself to be weak for the last time. When the sun rises, she is still the backbone of everyone, and his strongest backing when he travels far away...

The alarm clock in the mountain village is a rooster on the wall, an old dog guarding the house overnight.And at the seaside, what wakes everyone up is the waves one after another.The people recruited from near Quanzhou were used to hearing loud noises since they were young, but the Zhongren who followed from Kyoto were digging their ears, and couldn't help shouting, "I didn't sleep well last night because of the noise!"

But no matter what, in the new day, we must always work hard for our new home.

The women had already handed over the children to the older children to take care of them. While yelling at them not to let them leave the camp, their men were busy cooking porridge for breakfast.

Cooking smoke lingers around the entire camp, against the azure sea, and the occasional seagulls fly by, giving it a sense of tranquility and peace.

The porridge made from the big bags of white rice unloaded from the big boat is extremely fragrant and sweet.Now there is more time than last night, adding two handfuls of dried vegetables, a handful of chopped meat jerky, and a little salt, the children who were playing around gathered around the stove.

While laughing and cursing, the women instructed them to help carry the bowls and chopsticks. The pottery bowls with big heads, each a bowl of porridge, and a piece of pickles, even the strongest youngsters would be full.

In the camp, when Tululu was drinking porridge everywhere, suddenly a hundred natives appeared from the woods in the distance.The leaves are still wrapped around the waist, and the feathers adorn the top of the head, and the dark skin can't be found in the pile of coal.

The soldiers in charge of security immediately sounded the alarm, and all their knives and guns were unsheathed.The men immediately dropped the bowls and chopsticks and picked up the things at hand, and the women also hid in the tents with their children in their arms.

But those natives sent all the fruits they held in their hands to the front, and at the end they all knelt down, their heads almost buried in the beach, their pious and humble appearance was surprising and moving.

When Ding Wei heard the news, she also put down her job and walked out of the cabin, and got off the boat seeing the natives in such a state.

Chu Lao San brought people up to meet him, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, what do you mean by these natives?"

"I guess, they were frightened by yesterday's thunderstorm. They regarded us as gods, and today they came to make amends and send sacrifices."

Although Ding Wei doesn't understand the language of these natives, but the information explosion in her previous life has seen a few science and education films about the sacrifices of aboriginal tribes, so she guesses pretty much the same now.

Sure enough, when those natives saw Ding Wei in white dress, they immediately became more excited.Whining in his mouth, he raised his hands high and then lowered them, kowtowing like a pilgrimage like crazy.

Ding Wei felt a headache for them when she heard those "bang bang" sounds.

When she still wanted to walk over, the youngest Chu was worried and stopped her, "Ma'am, you can't take risks. These natives shot arrows and hurt people yesterday. If they still hide something and hurt you, then The last general made a mistake."

Ding Wei was also a little hesitant, but she was unwilling to give up this good opportunity to subdue the natives, so she said, "Take someone to check whether they are carrying weapons, remember not to be rude, and try to be as pleasant as possible."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chu Laosan also didn't know that it was the best policy to subdue others without fighting.They are newcomers, if they can avoid enmity with the local natives, it will be easier for them.But the deep-rooted idea of ​​high and low made him unwilling to bow his head and deal with these earth monkeys.

As soon as he beckoned, ten soldiers ran forward and touched each of the natives.The natives may be a little dissatisfied, but they are still obedient.

Soon the soldiers came back empty-handed, and Chu Lao San protected Ding Wei and walked over.

When Mr. Wei was young, he traveled all over the world. When he occasionally chatted about the rivers and lakes with his disciples, he also mentioned that some natives on some islands had the habit of hiding poison under their fingernails.So, it's not like checking that they're unarmed is a sign of safety.

But Chu Laosan had good intentions, and now he was counting on him to lead troops to guard him, so it was not easy to sweep his face.

Seeing Ding Wei slowly approaching, many natives were even more excited. The leading native yelled something, so he took the lead in muttering, and finally pushed the fruit and other objects in front of him.

Ding Wei signaled Yunying to take a red fruit, then picked it up and took a bite.

After the gods eat the sacrifice, they will no longer send down thunder, nor will they start killing again!
All the natives burst into tears with excitement, and some even ripped off the feathers on their heads.

Ding Wei was afraid that they would tear off the shame leaves under her waist, so she quickly squatted down and looked at the leading native.

The rubble from the thunderstorm yesterday hurt his forehead. I don't know if it was because there were no medicinal herbs on the island, or because he was afraid of offending her, the "spirit", so he dared not treat him privately.The wound was already rotten, if it is not diagnosed and treated with medicine, it may cause inflammation, and it may even lead to loss of life.

"Yunying, go get some water, medicine powder and cloth strips."

"Yes, master." Yunying responded, and hurried back to the big boat.

The native looked at Ding Wei tremblingly, not knowing why the gods were so interested in his wounds, wondering if the gods were dissatisfied with the punishment he received.So I reached out and touched a stone to make the wound a little bigger.

Ding Wei hurriedly stopped him, but unfortunately she couldn't speak the language, so she didn't know how to dissuade him.

At this time, Yunying had rushed back.Ding Wei took clear water for the native to wash the wound, applied ointment to stop bleeding and promote muscle growth, and finally wrapped a few white cotton cloth strips.

The native felt that the wound on his head was cold, which was more effective than the herbs in the tribe, and finally realized that the god was healing his wound with his own hands.

"Woo, woo, Ajigu, Ajigu!"

A group of natives behind them also shouted, causing Ding Wei and the others to stare, guessing that it meant gratitude.

"Yunying, ask the camp to send some porridge over. We are a guest, and they sent dried fruit and fish. Let's prepare some gifts in return."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yunying waved and called for a few bold women to bring over buckets of porridge and a large pile of bowls and chopsticks.Bowls of porridge were delivered to the natives, but they stared blankly and didn't know what to do.

A very clever woman filled a bowl of porridge herself, and finally picked up the porridge with chopsticks and delivered it to her mouth.

The natives had an epiphany, but they couldn't handle chopsticks well.He simply raised his hand, raised his neck and sent the porridge down his throat.

In the end, smash it to the mouth, and then look at the porridge bucket with a fiery gaze that seems to be able to ignite everything...

Ding Wei and Chu Laosan stood aside, seeing the natives almost fighting over the last bit of porridge, they were both amused and pitiful, but at the same time relieved.

Things in the world have always been, as long as there is demand, it must be easy to control.

The thunder that shook the sky before made the natives fear everyone like gods, and if they give some rice and food appropriately in the future, they won't be afraid that they will not give up.

"Today I'm going to take a boat around the island. Will General Chu go with me, or take someone to find a temporary resting place nearby?"

Chu Lao San remembered that if he had followed his original intention yesterday and killed all the natives, now he would have waited for everyone to counterattack even more crazily.In the final analysis, Ding Wei's method is better.So now his expression was more respectful, and he replied in a low voice, "I will obey Madam's arrangements in the end."

Ding Wei turned her head and looked towards the horizon. The place where the sea and sky meet is still so blue, as if they are connected together, and there is no danger at all.But there are some things that still have to be prepared in advance.

"Then General Chu should stay and build the garrison for the time being. In the future, we will find a better place to build the city. This place is suitable for berthing ships, and we also need to build a trestle and port."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chu Lao San took a glance, and after eating the porridge, the natives looked very satisfied, and asked for instructions, "This native..."

"I plan to bring a few people on the boat together. Although I don't understand the language, it must be useful to have their guidance. The rest of the people, if you want to stay, don't kick them out. If you don't want to stay, just let them go."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the two discussed it properly, they began to split up.

Seeing that the gods invited him to board the boat, the native leader was so excited that he wanted to tremble all over. He chose the two strongest tribesmen and left.The rest of the tribe stared wide-eyed for a while, then stretched their necks to look at the pots and stoves in the camp, and decided to stay and wait for the leader to return.

Chu Lao San was funny, thinking that he would inevitably have to deal with these people in the future, so he called a dozen and a half children, explained a few words, and then sent them to take the natives to chop firewood, and also learned the language of the natives, In the future, the province will always rely on "hands and dances" to communicate.

Everyone in the camp was still very wary of these natives, but when they saw that they had licked the porridge barrels clean, and they were running back and forth with the half-children to bring back dry firewood, they slowly Let your guard down.

Chu Lao San led dozens of people and expanded the search area, and actually found a geomantic treasure.

Only a dozen miles away from the coast, there is a precipitous cliff with a gentle slope at the foot of the cliff, and a large open grassland at the foot of the slope.If you build a residence with your back against the cliff, you can not only resist foreign enemies, but also it is very easy to drain water during the rainy season. The most important thing is that the flat land can be reclaimed to grow food and vegetables.

You must know that there are hundreds of people, old and young, who came with the boat, and it is not impossible to rely solely on transporting food from Quanzhou.But who can guarantee whether he will be able to come and go to Quanzhou freely in the future.

Self-sufficiency is king.

Now that a suitable place has been found, everyone is happy. They just wait for Ding Wei to come back, and after a decision is made, the construction of the new home begins vigorously.

Besides, Ding Wei stood at the bow of the boat, blowing the warm and salty sea breeze, and slowly circled Taoyuan Island.The natives were so frightened that they almost grabbed the side of the boat and dared not let go. After all, this big boat was much bigger than their canoe.

Afterwards, Xu Shi got used to it. They actually filled the boat with excitement like monkeys, causing all the boatmen to stare at them from time to time.However, the natives are not all useless.When a boatman hoisted the sail, he didn't know where he didn't understand. The sail got stuck in the middle of the mast, and the boss of the boat was so angry that he wanted to beat someone.
