The "Guzhu Shanrong" took Chen Baiqi and Si Si away together. Perhaps they felt that their thin arms and short legs were not enough to pose a threat, so they did not tie them up and restrict their movements.

However, they did not take Chen Baiqi to the Lone Bamboo Clan camp first. Instead, they sent someone to take them to a cave covered with straw mats to spend the night, and then asked them to change to a different set of caves early the next morning.

They wore Rong clothes, darkened their skin and straightened their hair, pretending to be two Shanrong people, then loaded them into a two-wheeled ox cart, and headed towards the outskirts of the city with people guarding them all the way.

Akagi He had a fever in the middle of the night due to a serious injury. Chen Baiqi gave him wound medicine and antipyretic powder to help him sleep, and left him temporarily in a cave to recuperate. He estimated that he would have to sleep for a whole day, so he did not take him with him.

They set out together.

There were lush trees all around. The car drove along the road, and after exiting the woods and arriving at Guo outside the city, all it saw were houses inhabited by civilians.

Chen Baiqi was sitting on a rickety bullock cart. This cart was very simple, with a board nailed to the two pulley frames. There was no cover or handrails. The board would swing left and right when the cart moved. Sitting on this cart was like being put on the cart.

Mixing in a blender is as easy as walking.

It's just that the Shanrong tribe is currently restricting their movements for surveillance, and they are not allowed to get off the car and walk around at will. "Unable to help", she can only endure it, caressing Si Si with one hand, and glances at the half-ground people with some curiosity.

A hole-in-the-wall house to distract attention.

On the fifth Wu day of the Northern Qian Dynasty, Qiu She was gradually declining. It was said that the mountain soldiers had finished fishing and hunting, so they all offered sacrifices to the gods on this day to thank the gods. This is Qiu She. In addition to Qiu She, it is said that there is also Chun She in the local area.

The "Autumn Society" held by the sacrificial society is mainly divided into two parts. One part is mainly used to worship the land and ancestors, and the other part is the Chunxi (also known as Mulberry Society, Mulberry Forest, Sangtai, Chuntai) which is more focused on entertainment.

, it is also a carnival festival for men and women to meet and vent.

According to Chen Baiqi's knowledge of history, in ancient times, the sacrificial activities for "she" could be divided into "big society" (the king established a society for the group's surname), "guoshe" (the princes established a society for the common people), according to the different sponsors.

"Houshe" (the princes set up a society on their own), "set up" (the officials and officials below set up a society in groups).

The "Lishe" is usually called a folk society. Unlike the official society, which is presided over by the government, the folk society is mainly presided over by the social leader or the head of the society, and the basic expenses are mainly borne by the people themselves.

The "Autumn Club" they held at this time was the "Li Club".

The local ethnic group of Zhuzhu attaches great importance to community sacrifices, which are equivalent to a grand event that all people participate in. For such a grand and solemn event, Chen Baiqi didn't quite understand what the Guzhu people wanted them to do.

When the ox cart arrived at the crossroads in the fields, the Shanrong people who were guarding them got out of the cart. They took out rice balls, chickens and millet and other offerings from the cart and placed them on the fields. After praying, they continued on their way.

Si Si approached Chen Baiqi and asked in a low voice: "What are they doing?"

Chen Baiqi said: "They are worshiping the Tian God."

"Aren't these Shanrong people nomadic hunters and fishermen? Why do they want to worship this field god?" Si Si was puzzled.

Si Si was born into a royal family when she was young and did not know about grain. She was imprisoned in the Chu Palace as a young boy and never stepped out of the palace. Therefore, she only heard about many things from hearsay. One thing is one thing and two things are two things. She did not understand many things in the world.

"One is born with two, two begets three, and three begets all things. The god of the field is also earth. The earth begets all things and carries all things. Why not worship him?" Chen Baiqi whispered softly.

Sisi felt refreshed when he heard the words, and he looked at her blankly.

I didn't expect that she was so knowledgeable. Her eyes were exquisite and humble, but her heart seemed as vast as the world.

"Nvlang has never explained her origin." Si Si looked at her.

The thrilling experience yesterday was still frightening to him. Everything yesterday was blurry and frightening, but the feeling of her tightly holding his hand was particularly clear and reassuring. He could not describe the feeling she brought to him, but it had a different taste.

heart.

Chen Baiqi curled up his lips: "Chen Baiqi, the daughter of the Chen family in Chenjiabao, Pingling County."

Si Si was slightly surprised.

Pingling County?

Isn't that the city of Chu closest to the Yue Kingdom? That city... It can be said that the King of Chu Ling called it a tasteless and abandoned place. A few days ago, Tingyi reached an agreement with the State of Zhao and was separated.

She became an abandoned land and was ridiculed by all countries. Unexpectedly, an extraordinary person like her came from such an abandoned and poor place.

It's really incredible. The sage often said that a hero does not care about his origin, but now it seems that there is some truth in it.

Si Si glanced at her for a second, and suddenly remembered something. He touched his fake face and said in a low voice: "How do you and my brother know each other?"

After escaping from the prison yesterday, Sisi had resisted asking Chen Baiqi how Sijiang disappeared from the prison when they escaped and whether he was in danger. However, Chen Baiqi had noticed early on that he was distracted and took the initiative to tell Sijiang that Sijiang was fine.

He just escaped from prison through another secret passage, but only one person could escape from that secret passage at a time, otherwise it would attract the attention of others. Because he was very skilled and good at escaping shadows, she let him go first.

leave.

Si Si was already alienated from Si Jiang, so she only heard that he was not in danger and stopped asking any more questions, as if she didn't care about Chen Baiqi's explanation at all.

Hearing that Si Si was finally willing to think of Si Jiang again, Chen Baiqi secretly laughed. This blood relationship is indeed not so easy to cut off.

Thinking of her acquaintance with Si San, Chen Baiqi would think of many past events, think of Hou Qing, think of the system, and think of herself who had just arrived in the Warring States Period. She was silent for a moment and then said: "At that time, he was a slave of the Yue Kingdom, and

I am the buyer..." At this point, Chen Baiqi smiled, looked at Si Si and said, "Speaking of which, your brothers' experiences are somewhat similar."

Si Si's face changed when he heard this, he turned his head and said with a strange tone: "Whenever he is in trouble, there are noble people to help him. I feel that our experiences are very different."

Regarding the estrangement between their brothers, Chen Baiqi was not willing to mix things up casually. She only said seriously: "When people are alive, they should not bear grudges for light, but also remember some kindness and affection, otherwise you will become a human being."

A walking corpse, although the body is free, the mind is also confused."

After Si Si heard what she said, he was stunned for a moment. Then he lowered his head and carefully considered her words in his heart, only to realize that they had profound meaning.

In fact, Si Si did not read many books. Firstly, he was young when he was a hostage, and the Chu State could not support him in learning, so he wasted his time. Secondly, his cultural level during the Warring States Period was limited. Although he was a hostage for so long, although he was self-taught.

He is literate at least 3,000 words, but due to the narrow range of knowledge and cultural transmission, some things cannot be understood so clearly that he can decipher life with just one sentence.

Chen Baiqi has accumulated three thousand years of cultural knowledge in his mind, which is not comparable to Si Si, or even to the comparison of some other contemporary great scholars.

Therefore, her words will always cause others to think deeply, because they contain too many previous experience summaries and life philosophies.

Sisi didn't speak any more along the way. He was slowly comprehending Chen Baiqi's words and thinking about his future path, while Chen Baiqi was also thinking about other things.

System: The triggering "Qiu Society Couple" task appears, the style is "warmth", please find a "like-minded" person in "Qiu Society" within 6 hours to complete the "Qiu Society Couple" dating task. (This is mandatory.

Sexual tasks cannot be refused, and failure to do so will result in corresponding penalties.)

Chen Baiqi never thought that she would suddenly run into a triggering task.

And the content of the mission is for her to go to Chunshe to find a "couple" for a date?

It’s just a date, but you still need someone who is “compatible”? This is simply too much!

Chen Baiqi asked the system: What is "love and affection"?

She felt that there might be a discrepancy between the "love-to-love" she understood and the "love-to-love" set by the system.

System: If the favorability is 60, the requirement of "liking each other" can be achieved.

Chen Baiqi looked at the system's answer and suddenly got a black line.

60?

This favorability level is too high!

She is currently pretending to be a Shanjung boy. Who is she looking for as a partner to "love" her?

Go for a man, it's not suitable, go for a woman, it's even more inappropriate.

Find a stranger. The favorability between the two parties is definitely not enough. Find an acquaintance. There is Sisi next to her, and Sisi's favorability towards her has only increased by 10 since he met her. And the rescued Akagi He

He is still seriously injured and comatose. Even if he uses the halo of his savior to increase his favorability, he can't save the fire from far away.

The men and women dating in this "Autumn Society" probably took place after completing the "sacrifice" ceremony, probably at night. What should she do in this one night to increase a person's favorability to 60?!

System, in fact, this triggering task simply exists for the purpose of punishing her!

In this compartment, Chen Bai lifted the table in his heart, and the ox cart that had been driving on the other side finally stopped, and a group of rough and wild mountain guards came forward, armed with wooden guns and bare arms and legs.

"who?"

A man stepped forward and answered: "Lone Bamboo."

The guard stepped forward and took a look at the team. There was no problem, and said, "Oh, let's go in."

The man asked: "Has our young clan grown up yet?"

"I brought Hachi, Wuya and the others here just now. You have had a great harvest this year. You actually brought so many sacrifices to the Autumn Society. It seems that this year's Autumn Society's top spot will be won by you Guzhu."

"You have to compete in other competitions, how can it be so easy? Hey, okay, let's not talk anymore, we have to go in, otherwise the young patriarch will curse others."

"let's go."

After listening to the translation performed by the system, Chen Baiqi probably guessed that the mixed-blood Shanrong youth who came forward before was the young leader of the Guzhu clan they mentioned, and their purpose of arresting her was probably for the "top spot" mentioned in the conversation.

”.

She didn't know exactly what this "top prize" was, but it probably had the value of letting the young patriarch figure it out.

The bullock cart drove slowly into the community. The "social tree" passing by was artificially decorated and tied with many knots. The knots were long or short, thick or thin. There must be some special meanings.

The road is colorful and beautiful.

Many people, including men, women, old and young, gathered at the community platform in front of them. They were all bustling and enjoying themselves. The scene was very lively and lively. Some people were beating drums, blowing horns, and eating beef and mutton. It was very lively.

Chen Baiqi stood there and watched for a while. She and Sisi were not sent to the lively place in front, but were "escorted" to a remote corner behind Qiutai.
