Chapter 324 Vision
Seeing Ye Qingran nodding, Chu Qingyun said: "We understand, you make a list, we will send the things you need to you later, don't worry."
Ayun didn't expect to be so relaxed and was a little surprised, but he still nodded and thanked: "Thank you two nobles."
After a while, she sent in the written list.
Ye Qingran looked at the words on it. The person who wrote it probably didn't know many words. The words were written the same as the paintings. Fortunately, he could still read them clearly.
There are not many things required above, and the most luxurious thing is just a few pieces of meat, which is not troublesome.
The two of them didn't even inform the third prince and directly prepared the things and gave them to them.
Ye Qingran was a little curious about what the moon worship would be like during the Moon Respecting Festival, and she was still looking forward to it.
The third prince knew about Chu Qingyun's agreement to sacrifice the moon the next day, but he didn't say anything. It was just a trivial matter, and there was no need to argue about it.
Two days later, the altar where the villagers wanted to offer sacrifices was ready.
In this matter, the villagers of East Village and West Village were rarely very harmonious, very pious and indifferent. They knelt down and worshiped the moon in front of the altar together, muttering to themselves.
In fact, the altar was just a temporary pile of stones. The ravines on the sides were not even filled with soil, and it was just placed hastily in the open space.
The prepared food was placed on clean plates and bowls, with uncooked rice placed on both sides, and three sticks of incense stuck in the front.
I don't know where this fragrance comes from. It seems a little damp. The smoke coming out is very heavy and the smell is not good.
Seeing this scene of worship, Ye Qingran lost interest.
The sacrifice she imagined in her mind was much more serious than this, but she also understood that with the current situation in the north, it was impossible to perform any decent sacrifice.
The voices in the villagers' mouths became louder and louder, and Ye Qingran finally heard what they were saying.
Ancient poems are like mantras, with four words and four characters, and they sound easy to pronounce.
Ye Qingran felt a little sleepy as he listened.
She didn't know if it was because the wind stopped, but she didn't feel cold at all. After a moment, she even felt a little hot.
She originally thought it was her imagination, but the snow around her feet melted away at some point, and the snow water wet the soles of her shoes and even reached the uppers.
Turning around, I saw that the officials watching the excitement began to wipe the sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.
"Chu Qingyun, do you feel very hot?"
"It's a little bit. Could it be that it's almost spring now, so the weather is getting warmer, and I feel a little hot."
Ye Qingran felt a little strange. There was still some time before spring, so the temperature would not be so high. At least when the snow melted, the temperature would definitely drop. Something was obviously wrong now.
"Could it be that their Moon Festival really has some strange power? This is too fantasy. Have you ever heard of such a thing?"
Chu Qingyun shook his head: "Unheard of."
After enduring for a while, these villagers also felt something was wrong.
Their voices became lower and lower, and finally someone asked: "Why is it so hot?"
By this time, they were sweating profusely, and Ye Qingran was also sweating all over. Even in spring, it was impossible for them to sweat so much. The temperature was almost as hot as summer.
Ye Qingran was really curious, and just wanted to ask them if it was because they were worshiping. He just saw that they were focused, so he didn't interrupt them. Seeing that they had stopped worshiping now, he couldn't help but ask.
"Does your worship have a warming effect? I thought it was just a ceremony to pray for peace."
As soon as she said this, the villagers also looked confused: "We worship the moon just to pray for peace. We don't know why the temperature is like this."
As they spoke, they began to take off their outer robes and wipe the sweat from their bodies.
If it’s not because of the moon worship ceremony, then what’s the reason?
Just when Ye Qingran thought of this, he subconsciously touched the red mark on his ring finger and suddenly woke up.
Could it be...a natural disaster?
Although she had calculated before that the next natural disaster would not come for at least two years, she had already changed many things in the world, so there was no guarantee of such a natural disaster.
After all, the world of this book is the end of the world, and no one can tell what changes will happen.
But she didn't dare to tell the matter directly. After all, it was difficult for the northern territory to stabilize. If she told them that there was a natural disaster, they might lose their confidence in living.
She was silent, waiting for the sacrifice to end and everyone to disperse, before pulling Chu Qingyun back to the room.
"What's wrong? Did you notice anything unusual?"
Chu Qingyun felt her eagerness and asked directly.
Ye Qingran nodded: "Do you remember? I told you my secret last time."
"I remember, why are you talking about this suddenly? Be careful, walls have ears."
"It's okay. I checked when I came in and no one was following me. What I want to say is that the land we are in is a place where natural disasters occur frequently, and these natural disasters will spread to the entire Beichen Kingdom and even all the people who can survive in the future. Where we need to prepare in advance.”
"You mean, the sudden rise in temperature today is because of a natural disaster?"
Chu Qingyun was shocked, "A natural disaster is coming again?"
Ye Qingran nodded solemnly: "But this is just my guess. It is not yet certain when the natural disaster will arrive, but this abnormal phenomenon must be taken seriously no matter what."
"I understand. But you can't tell others such things, otherwise it will cause panic. So what can we do to prevent natural disasters?"
This is a difficult problem, and Ye Qingran hasn't thought about it yet.
Although the matter was urgent, it could not be solved in a short while. After a few discussions, they decided to observe it for two days before talking.
Early the next morning, they were awakened by shouts outside.
After they briefly washed up, they went out and found that the villagers were gathered outside. Surrounded in the middle was the third prince.
He was standing on a stone and talking eloquently: "This temperature is a warning from heaven. Because you have not offered sacrifices for a long time, you have angered heaven, so the strange phenomenon occurred during the sacrifice last night."
Today's temperature is even higher than last night, and the sun in the sky makes people feel hot all over.
Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun stood in the shadows wearing thin clothes, wanting to see what the third prince wanted to do.
"From now on, we must offer sacrifices devoutly every month to make up for the past shortcomings. My father is the Son of Heaven, a person who inherits the will of God. I am his son. Coming to visit you on his behalf is to appease you on behalf of God. "
He spoke passionately, "I hope you can listen to my arrangements in the future and don't resist or be lazy, otherwise God will definitely punish you with natural disasters again!"
