"From now on, you will live here." Yu Chuantou turned his head and left without looking back, "Tomorrow at 7:30 in the morning, your sacrificial adults will go to the biggest clans in Luming County together."
"Clear my appearance and dress. I don't want to see any inappropriate attire or behavior."
After the ship was gone, the [servants] looked at the rusty cages dullly, and there was a man in gray-pumping clothes walking out of the boathouse tiredly, holding a scrawny puppy in his arms and pushing away skillfully. The cage got in, turned around and poured a plastic bag of sacrifices into the dog basin, and had eaten another.
The dog got out of the cage and hurriedly buried his head in the cage to eat the dirty leftovers. After eating, he took the dog's head back, and hugged each other in the narrow cage and fell asleep like that. NS.
Mrs. Cang almost looked silly.
Soon, many attendants came out of the houseboat. They also ate the leftovers for their pets. He ate another share, curled up in various positions in cages to warm each other and fell asleep.
The newcomer [Servant] The children shook their heads in fear and stepped back, and as if they had accepted the reality, the children pushed forward the cage door in despair.
These old attendants glanced at these new attendants, and someone asked:
"Are you new attendants this year?"
"How about the "sex" character of these sacrificial adults?"
The other children didn't know how to answer, so Cang hesitated to answer:
"They're pretty good in'sex'..."
One of the attendants sneered with their backs to everyone: "Whether the sacrifices have a good temper and whether they will torture our attendants, how you can tell now, it will have to be assessed in half a year."
Cang Tai was startled, and the other attendants said to him in a low voice: "He was compared to his own attendants for pain during the half-year assessment this year, and fell from a sacrifice to an attendant position."
"He served his kitten and killed him, crying in his arms for a whole week, and was successfully promoted to a sacrifice in the assessment, and he came down."
"But I think he can go back in the second half of the year." The attendant glanced at the attendant on his back. He eats and lives for the excess food."
"But his attendant looks weak-tempered, and the first thing he does when offering sacrifices is that he and his dog rushed here to live in a cage."
Mrs. Cang was a little surprised: "Can the servants live with sacrifices?"
The attendant nodded: "As long as the Lord Sacrifice is willing, of course you can live with him, but..."
"There are few sacrifices that the adults are willing to do."
Mrs. Cang was a little "lost": "Why?"
The attendant had time to speak, and the attendant over there shrank in the cage with his back to everyone and replied in a cold voice: "The sacrifice has to pay so much pain to get a houseboat. Just let the attendant live in it, it's just paying for himself. Great pain and disrespect."
The attendant next to him added in a low voice: "After this person is in attendance, that's how he said that if he can easily live in a house, I am totally sorry to die in his hands and let him be promoted to a sacrifice kitty."
Cang Tai was speechless for a while, he didn't even know what to say.
Seeing Cang Tai's face paled with fright, the attendant sighed and comforted him kindly: "Being an attendant is as scary as you think. We are the lowest-level attendants, and many of them are treated better than us."
"Tomorrow, you should bring the sacrifices to the big families together for them to choose. If the adults in your big family choose and give the big family surname, the adults in the big family will rent you a room in the houseboat. There is no need for them. Live in the cage."
Mrs. Cang was a little "confused" and "confused": "The big family? Why should we take the big family to choose?"
The attendant was slightly surprised: "Don't you tell the evil rituals of Luming County?"
"The evil sacrifice here is twice a year, divided into winter festival and summer festival, held in August and January each year."
"One month after the end of the winter festival, Master Mifune, the magistrate of Luming County, will start buying a new round of sacrifices and start training. After half a year, about June or July, your sacrifices will be considered It is half-mature, but you can worship the evil at the evil altar. If your suffering reaches the standard at this time, you will be able to sacrifice successfully, and if your suffering does not reach the standard, the sacrifice will fail."
The attendant recalled: "But from the beginning of the evil sacrifice to the present, it is rare that the sacrifices can reach the mark in pain for half a year, and most of them will have to wait for another half a year, and then wait until the winter sacrifice."
"Generally speaking, the success probability of a batch of sacrifices in winter sacrifices is much higher than that of summer sacrifices. If there are still sacrifices in this batch of sacrifices, then it will enter the next year's summer sacrifices and continue to sacrifice. Sacrifice."
The attendant shrugged: "But if there is generally a successful sacrifice in the first year, it will be difficult for the sacrifice to be successful afterwards."
"Of course it won't be successful again." The attendant with his back to the crowd was hoarse, "No matter how intense the pain lasts for a year, people will be numb."
The attendant sighed: "But if this kind of suffering lasts for a long time, if the sacrifice can detach itself, numb the pain, become more painful, and then successfully sacrifice at a certain evil sacrifice, that kind of pain is said to make the evil lord very happy. , The quality of fulfilling the wishes will also be much improved, so now many families will deliberately store this kind of sacrifice, and will not let this kind of sacrifice stand in the first year."
"The Beiyuan Xiaokui of Beiyuan's family is this kind of sacrifice."
"When you buy sacrifices and attendants every year, Luming County will distribute the contributions to the county in a year. Before the county pays taxes, the eight big families can choose two favorite sacrifices or attendants in order."
"And to choose the remaining sacrifices, wait until the day before the evil sacrifice, as a gift for everyone, randomly distributed to the public in the [Fun Gong Ye Huan Festival]."
"Usually these remaining sacrifices are not so determined and substandard, and it is not easy to sacrifice successfully, and the Oita Association will be unable to sustain it in the follow-up [Pain Practice]. The wish to be traded in the hand is not a high-level wish, which is not seen by the big family."
The attendant looked up at Cang Tai: "The first family to pay taxes last year was the Kitahara family. They sacrificed a year and a half of painful maturity for their family’s winter sacrifice last year. I heard that it seems to be the younger brother of Kitahara Xiaokui, so they succeeded last year. A high-quality wish was made."
"The specific wishes of the Kitahara family are not clear to those of us who are servants. In short, the Kitahara family expanded rapidly within the last year, surpassing the original tax-paying family, the Mifune family, and became the current number one family in Luming County. "
"You don't want to live in a cage. Tomorrow, think of a way to choose a candidate from the Kitahara family."
While the two people were talking, a group of adults in long coats came in. The group of people carried a black cloth cage in their hands and threw them in front of Cangtai. They said coldly, "Your pets, some are cured. Dead, some are still alive, just pick them out."
Cang Tai hurriedly went forward, pulling open the black cages one by one, and finally found the dying little black cat in a black cloth cage leaning against the wall.
Not only did the little black cat receive any treatment, but it became weaker. Mimi couldn't come out while lying in Cangtai's arms, and the buttocks were all blood. Maybe it was the blood that was pulled or the cage was bitten by other animals.
"[Cang Tai]!" Cang Tai looked at the blood of the little black cat's ass, and the other party gradually raised her chest, her face turned pale with fright, and tears immediately fell, "How could this happen!"
Other pets for children are not much better than black cats.
All of a sudden, the entire backyard was full of crying children.
The attendants lying in the cages looked a little bit unbearable. Before Mrs. Cang and the others were chatting, the attendant poked out his head and exhorted them with mixed feelings: “It’s going to rain outside today. Cubs live in a cage and will freeze to death."
"If you have a good relationship with the sacrificial lord now, go and beg them to take you in."
A group of children seemed to have found their way, and their eyes lit up:
"Yes, I said at the beginning. We are tied up as a pair. I will be his servant first. He will be good to me as a sacrifice. If he falls from the sacrifice, I will treat him as a sacrifice. , So that we can get sacrificial treatment!"
"Me too! I'll go find her now!"
The children ran to the front yard holding their pets as if they had caught the straw.
Hearing these words, the attendant's eyes were complicated, and he glanced at the attendant behind him hesitantly.
The attendant in the cage behind him with his back to the person suddenly laughed: "I did the same thing, he said."
"I said I couldn't survive, and didn't want to suffer anymore. He said he was suffering for me, making sacrifices, and replacing him to protect me. What about the knot?"
The man held a motionless dog tightly, and smiled hoarsely and intermittently: "My dog is freezing to death outside, won't he also open the door for me?"
The children heard this when they had run away, and they knocked on the doors of the sacrifices excitedly.
The sacrifices opened the door. They were wearing comfortable bathrobes. They were holding a tub that was obviously just gone to soak in the hot spring. The whole body was radiating heat. Inside the door, there was a hot soup pot fried lobster. It's very rich.
The pets wore exquisite and warm clothes, lay leisurely on the fluffy white blankets, stretched their waists and slept soundly and comfortably.
And the sacrifice standing outside the door was very sloppy, clothes in tatters, exuding a stench of rotten food, to get a little rain, oily muddy water dripped from the edge of the hair, and he hugged tightly in his arms. Only shivering dirty little animal, the little animal still has blood dripping down its body.
At the moment the door opened, whether it was the sacrifice inside the door or the attendant outside the door, their facial expressions stagnated for a few seconds.
-It's just a few hours apart, and everyone seems to be from two worlds.
