148. Evil among people(1/2)
Qin Ming was so angry that he wanted to go out and stab the village chief directly.
There are probably no ghosts that are more evil than this village chief.
Kuroda Nagadok grabbed him.
"Mr. Abe, keep calm. This is just an appearance. We need to find out the reason behind it."
"What exactly is it that made the Ninju Village perform a human sacrifice for fifteen years."
"If you kill a village chief, there will be a second village chief. If you don't solve the problem from the root, there will be countless village chiefs in the future."
"Um..."
Qin Ming nodded, his qi cultivation skills are still good.
But even so, the village chief will not survive tonight.
He said Abe Qin Ming.
The two continued to listen until the men went back to their homes.
After a while, the male owner who had been entertained before came out with a girl on her back.
“Follow up.”
Qin Ming and Kuroda Nagato followed. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, paused, and suddenly turned around and looked back.
The air-exposed door trembled from time to time, and the mistress could be seen from the gap. She was sobbing against the door behind her back.
The old woman has experienced so many times that she has seen her with her own eyes. It will be her turn next time the old bones will be her turn. She just looked at her son carrying her granddaughter to the deep mountains, until she couldn't see her back. Before she knew it, she burst into tears.
“Wow wow wow wow—”
There are also boys crying, he will bully blind girls, but he also knows how to love his sister.
Qin Ming felt a little heavy.
After leaving the village, Nagakura Shinhata and Kuroda Nagai also spontaneously hung behind them.
Qin Ming didn't know how to follow, but the male owner didn't notice it. He walked on the mountain road with a girl on his back. He had already spent a lot of effort and had no energy to investigate the situation behind him.
"There is no snow on the mountain. July and August are indeed the best time to climb."
Qin Ming remembered the terrain and looked for the whereabouts of the Qizhi Dan and the Tengu Party.
Kuroda Nagatoku: "People usually believe that the snow on the top of Mount Fuji does not melt all year round, and the snow-capped snow piles above the hillside. This is the image of Mount Fuji in most paintings, as is the famous "Fuji Gokuro"."
"In fact, such a beautiful Mount Fuji only exists for a few months. The weather turns colder in the end of September, and snow will begin to accumulate in Mount Fuji. In January, the ice and snow will melt."
"It seems that Shiro may have really taken people up the mountain."
"I understand that Japan has a subtropical marine climate, and the temperature in summer is enough to melt the snow in Mount Fuji, which is less than 4,000 meters."
Old Qin Ming understood the king and added: "But now it seems that there are no signs of large troops marching on the mountain road unless he climbed from the other side."
"There is also the Mito Tengou Party. They should have entered Kafari long ago, and their purpose is Mount Fuji. Where are they now?"
Kuroda Nagato shook his head, he didn't know, even the subtropical climate was not clear.
"If Lord Kuroda has time to go to Edo, he can go to the Town Fire and Crazy. I'll ask someone to make up for you. Lan Xue is still useful."
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. Before we reach the destination of Wuhe, we can see white bones everywhere just by three or four eyes.
Qin Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "If it's really a matter of sacrifice to the Tiangou, he doesn't even care about the most basic ritual and just abandons the sacrifice halfway?"
Kuroda Nagato smiled and said, "The remote mountain village is beyond reach, and there are bandits in Kafada. The warriors cannot be dispatched at will. If you want to deal with these matters, you can't do anything!"
Then, his face turned solemn: "And in name, Kafei is still under the direct jurisdiction of the shogunate. If the shogunate does not have much governance, what can I do as a proxy official?"
"At that time, Tokugawa Ieyasu no-no, a craftsman, came to Kafari to build water conservancy and build Kofu Castle. Where are the descendants?"
"A large number of craftsmen were transporting supplies to Edo, and the shogunate only had Edo in his eyes."
"After the Mingli fire, the shogunate remembered that in order to expand Edo, Kafai sent people to collect taxes in such remote areas, namely, called reconstruction funds."
"In order to rebuild Edo, even Tianshou abandoned it and vigorously built houses."
"Who doesn't know that this is a gesture? Public opinion is on the head, how dare local daimyos be neglected?"
"A group of borers who can only lie on the Dao women, sucking the blood and sweat of the people in the jurisdiction, and the hardships of the village, and the miserable miserables, will be able to live a life of only a population."
"If Kafari's power is handed over to the shogunate, within twenty years, there will be no small village like Nino Village, only more corpses."
Kuroda Nagato suddenly said so many things, which caught Qin Ming off guard.
Good guy, have you directly publicly blew the shogunate?
However, Qin Ming didn't care. It was probably because Kuroda Nagato could have seen that he was not completely in the same position as the shogunate, so he dared to say so.
As I continued walking along the way, a few cold, snow-white things suddenly fell.
"Snow...is it snowing?"
Qin Ming looked up at the sky, and snowflakes fell, and it was only the end of August.
Kuroda Nagato frowned: "The first snow around Mount Fuji last year was in mid-October. If you look at it this year, the snowfall in Mount Fuji this year was 32 days earlier than last year. If nothing unexpected happens, the surrounding area of Mount Fuji will enter a period of full snowfall in early October."
"Little villages like Ninju Village will be even more difficult."
"This is the punishment of the gods for the shogunate inaction."
Qin Ming had been nodding all the time, and Kuroda Nagato felt sorry for the people. Even if he felt verbally, it was very good, but the last sentence was not necessary.
Feudal superstition cannot be found. A Tengu village chief can be justified and let the villagers perform human sacrifices, and abandon their wives and children openly to reduce the population to meet their own needs.
Early winter is already hard to bear, so I will punish you with another god. With Qin Ming’s understanding of the foolish people, I will definitely say that sacrifices will be performed to comfort the gods.
What is the sacrifice? Of course it is a human.
Even if the sacrifice fails and the gods do not forgive me, one person will have more food rations, and more support will be able to survive the cold winter.
Qin Ming felt it was necessary to popularize the science: "Early snowing is related to the atmospheric circulation mode. Since the beginning of this year, the activity in the westerly zone has been strong, so Japan is colder early, and the cold and heating air flows are fierce, which will cause heavy rainfall. However, if the airflow suddenly pulls low-altitude cumulonimbus clouds containing ice crystals or snowflakes to the ground, it will cause short-term snowfall in a small range."
"Oh..." Kuroda Nagato thought to himself and felt that he understood what Qin Ming meant.
If Tengu and Zaixue were explained so clearly, even if there were still people who did not believe it and stubbornly asked for sacrifices, at least one or two people would object.
Instead of being like Shinono Village, the village chief said that people would be sacrificed, and there was no one who opposed it.
Even if monsters really exist, this is not a reason to trample on life.
"Dad, it's snowing, it's auspicious sign!"
At this time, the malnourished little girl fucked her throat and said the first sentence.
"What auspicious sign is it? It's twenty or thirty days earlier than last year's snow..."
The male host thought in his mind that in this case, the copper coins left by the two distinguished guests seemed not enough to live the entire winter.
He thought of his mother. It won't be long before the sacrifice will be its turn...
The male owner felt his shoulders heavier.
"It's a good omen!"
The little girl struggled to show an ugly smile: "There is snow and footprints. Even if you don't have to sprinkle flowers, your father will not get lost when he goes down the mountain!"
The male host turned sideways slightly, lowered her head, and saw that the petals were sparsely sprinkled on the mountain road, vaguely pointing out a path, and his daughter was holding two bare flowers in her little hand.
He couldn't help it, so he could only take a deep breath and hold it in his breath.
He didn't dare to cry or make extra moves, so he could only slowly go up the mountain step by step.
The mountainside and the foot of the mountain are two completely different scenery because of the different altitudes.
In this long mountain road, the male protagonist occasionally forgets his intention to go up the mountain, just like a traveler who is traveling with his daughter. The mountain scenery is quiet and peaceful, and the autumn leaves are gradually falling.
But as the altitude gets higher and higher, the quiet scenery disappears, and the maple leaves suddenly turn into a shrill and solemn gray.
The view of the mountainside as cold as a blade is as cold as before death.
Here is the Five Emoji, the Garden of Tengu.
“Gaga--”
There are various carnivorous birds and crows here, just like the crows that guard the Tengu.
There is a faint white mist floating around, which makes people dare not go deeper.
From a distance, you can see the huge Tengu Rock. The male owner gently put down his daughter and swept away all kinds of skulls on the ground, carefully and dare not offend him too much. After all, these are all sacrifices of Tengu.
He took out a slightly shabby straw mat and spread it on the ground.
The little girl sat obediently on the straw mat and shrank.
The male owner turned his back and trembled all over, and then found half a piece of tofu from his clothes.
This piece of tofu is used to make soup. He was not willing to put the tofu into the soup when he was entertained at dinner.
His hands were trembling, and he struggled to hand the half piece of tofu that was almost unformed tofu to the girl: "I'm hungry, remember to eat..."
At this time, he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, hugged his daughter, and cried loudly.
But the little girl pushed her little hand: "Dad, it's time to go down the mountain. When the snow is heavy, it will cover your footprints."
