A patrol member standing by the well was carrying a long knife. He had a simple and honest appearance, and his skin was bronzed by the sun.
He is Nozawa who contributed to the shrine to become a tortoise.
"In three more days." Nozawa was a little impatient. Today alone, no less than a dozen people asked him the same question.
"Ah? We have to wait another three days?" The villagers were disappointed, subconsciously licked their chapped lips, and stared at the cool well, like a wolf in the dark.
"In three days, Lord Ji will inspect the well. After the holy relic is not dead, the well will be put into use. Then you can bring your own wooden barrels to fetch water." Nozawa said loudly, wanting to simply He explained it clearly, and the villagers in the province were asking him this and that.
However, he far underestimated the yearning of ordinary villagers for water resources at this stage.
As soon as Nozawa yelled, the villagers standing next to the well said impatiently: "Nozawa, what is a sacred object? We all heard that Master Ji asked for this well, so why wait so long? sky?"
Nozawa frowned tightly. It was a hot day, and there was a large group of people around him. Even standing in the cool place beside the well, he still felt very irritable.
"How can you know the holy things? This is the rule set by Master Ji! Master Ji represents the shrine! Now, who else is not satisfied?"
The ordinary villagers watching were dumbfounded. From their point of view, they could have a flirtatious relationship with Yazhongji in normal times, calling him "Ji" or "Xiaoji", and Yazhongji would not put on airs.
It is another matter to represent Master Ji of Yae Shrine.
"I remember that the one who is in charge of rainwater is not the fox god? Master Ji dug a well for everyone to use. Will the god be dissatisfied?"
The crowd fell silent for a moment.
The villager who spoke was only about fourteen or fifteen years old. Seeing so many people looking at him at the same time, his face turned pale with fright, thinking he said something wrong.
"That's right, Lord Shenming is in charge of rainwater and rivers. Only through sacrifices can the Fox God be happy and bestow favors. This Lord Ji is digging a well to get water, isn't it... ... privately taking the Fox God's wealth... ... "
The villagers muttered in low voices, talking about Yaeji in private, but at the same time they maintained a high degree of reverence for the fox god and did not dare to offend him in the slightest.
Nozawa was furious in his heart. In his opinion, the frame rate of these villagers was insane! It's fine if you don't know the secret, but you dare to talk about it!
"What do you know!" Nozawa yelled: "This is only launched after being guided by the gods..." Nozawa gave his teammates next to him a look, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? ?”
"project."
"Yes!" Nozawa said loudly: "This project was carried out under the guidance of the gods! It's an oracle! Beware of the fox god's divine punishment on you!"
The crowd suddenly panicked.
It was still the boy around 14 or 15 years old, he bit his bullet and said, "I heard from grandma that only shrine maidens can communicate with fox gods. Could it be that Sakura-sama became a priestess?"
Nozawa narrowed his eyes and stared at the boy.
Is this trying to mess things up or something
"Can the greatness of the fox god and the energy of the shrine be imagined by you? Don't think that you know some secrets, so you can speak nonsense here!"
After Nozawa yelled, he asked his teammates next to him in a low voice: "Are I using these two words correctly?"
"..."
Seeing that no one dared to talk back, Nozawa was like a victorious rooster, arrogant and high-spirited, quite arrogant.
Just as Nozawa raised his head and glanced at these "ignorant" villagers from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the outermost edge.
Take a closer look.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Lord Ji is here!"
Nozawa rudely inserted into the crowd of villagers, but after the villagers heard it, they began to give way consciously.
Yaeji smiled back, nodding to the villagers looking at him from time to time.
With that rather cured appearance, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the villagers was immediately settled.
In their eyes, Yaeji, who is destined to become the god lord of the shrine, still has a very high status. In addition, the other party has always had a very good image in the village for so many years. Most of the villagers have a very good impression of Yaeji. good.
"Master Ji is here?" Nozawa said with a smile, completely without the arrogance of a big rooster before.
"In the past few days, people from our patrol team have been stationed by the well day and night, and absolutely no one can steal a drop of water."
"Yeah." Yazhongji nodded, stood by the well and glanced inside.
It's pitch black, and a cool air rushes up in summer, not to mention how comfortable it is.
"Send someone down to see if the turtle is dead."
"I'll go down, I'll go down!" Nozawa hurriedly handed his samurai sword to his teammates.
"OK."
Not long after, Nozawa, who went down into the well, shouted from bottom to top: "Master Ji, the holy object is not dead!"
"How is your spirit?"
"Spirit?" Nozawa, who was staying in the well, was taken aback. The well was dark, but his sight was not very good. Besides, as soon as he picked up the "sacred object", the other party got into the turtle shell , he is really hard to judge.
"Wait a minute, Lord Ji!"
There were bursts of echoes coming from the well, making Yaeji frowned. It is impossible for them to have any heavy metals from other worlds exceeding the standard, pollution... Wait!
Yaeji squinted those strange eyes. He remembered that Daisuke had obtained the stump of a monster from outside the village a few days ago. Since the stump of a monster can turn a person into a corpse, if the blood of a dead monster flows into it... ..
"Master Ji! Shengwu is super energetic! Just a little shy!"
The sound from the bottom of the well came again, Yazhongji breathed a sigh of relief, and motioned to the patrol team next to him: "Pull him up."
"yes!"
Not long after, Nozawa, who was stained with some water, was served by a large wooden barrel.
"Is there any mutation in it?"
"No." Nozawa shook his head, "I'm alive and energetic."
Yaeji nodded: "After the shift change, go to the mason in the village to discuss the reinforcement of the well, as well as the well cover. It is best to design one to prevent the water from evaporating."
"Yes!" Nozawa listened in a daze, he didn't understand what was evaporating and what was going on, anyway, he followed Yaeji's arrangement.
"Also, it's best to transplant two trees to the well. If there is water, the chance of survival is very high."
"Okay, no problem, we brothers can take care of it in the evening!" Nozawa promised and looked forward to it: "Master Ji, it's all like this, can you guarantee that the well will be officially used in three days?"
"If the tortoise hasn't changed much from seven days ago."
Nozawa nodded violently, unable to extricate himself from the excitement.
Yaeji took a look at the well, then lifted his feet and left the path he had come from.
"Master Ji!"
"Huh?" Yaeji, who was halfway there, turned around and found that it was the young man who was picky from the beginning.
