Bai Yue can completely understand that the three-day test period is like a three-day trial period for a new employee.
But she doesn't know what the miko usually does. She can't just sit there during these three days of testing, right?
Jian Yu said: "First, within these three days, the sky must be clear and there must be no violent storms or gloomy weather."
Everyone was speechless.
Is this choosing a witch? Is this choosing a dragon king?
Bai Yue couldn't help complaining: "Do they really think that witches can control the weather?"
Jian Yu nodded, indicating that he was not talking nonsense.
"Then." Jian Yu said: "In these three days, if all the tribesmen have any difficult questions, they can go to the witch for help. The witch has a high status among the twelve tribes and is supported by the eleven tribes, so she has to pay for it."
Everyone thought they understood, but they didn't.
"What is a difficult question?" Bai Yue said, "Any question can be asked? Anyone can be asked?"
"Yes, but it's not like what you think. The witch is sitting there, and the people are queuing up in a long line, as if asking for medical treatment. How many people will come, and the witch will be exhausted.
.”
Thinking about that scene, everyone laughed unkindly.
No wonder Mango doesn't want to be a witch and wants to find a place to open a noodle shop. At least the noodle shop owner won't be responsible for tomorrow's rain.
Jian Yu smiled and said, "That's right. Chief Menglan told me briefly that there is a square in Hani City. From tomorrow, three huge boxes will be set up in the square. Number plates will be distributed to everyone.
People who have received the number plate can write down their wishes, seal them in paper and put them into the box. When the sun sets, they will take out one card, one card per day."
"Oh, so the miko only needs to be responsible for solving three difficult problems."
At first glance, he seemed to feel relaxed immediately, but Liang Meng said: "There are too many uncertainties. Who knows what these three questions are? What if someone says that he wants to fly?"
Bai Yue said without hesitation: "Why are you so naive?"
Naive Liang Meng: "?"
Bai Yue said: "There are so many places for manipulation."
Naive Liang Meng: "How can you cheat with so many eyes watching?"
"My child, are you stupid?" Bai Yue said, "Can't you stick the questions on the top of the inside of the box in advance, and then when you draw lots, just draw the questions and stick them on the top of the box."
Jian Yu patted Liang Meng's shoulder. For a man who sells snow ducks for a penny and has four shills, what do you mean by fairness, justice and openness? Stop making trouble.
Liang Meng was taught.
Jian Yu said: "There is no need for Manguo to worry about this matter, let alone for us. The leader of the Menglan clan will handle it well. If he can't handle it well, it proves that he is not suitable to be the leader of the clan. All the food will be left to him, and the fire will rise.
Now, do you still want to feed it to your mouth? There are many people who want to be the leader of the clan."
After all, it was a matter involving other countries. Jian Yu and the Meng Lan clan leader had no personal relationship, so they would not bother to take such lenient measures.
Everyone gossiped about the succession of the witch for a while, and gossiped about Si Suliu for a while. After finding Qin Jiu, they went to rest.
The next day was a good day, I woke up to clear skies and bright sunshine.
Bai Yue stood at the door with his eyes squinted and basked in the sun for a while, sighing with emotion from his soul.
"Manguo will have to sit on the float for three days starting from today. It's really hard."
Although the curtains on the float are layered and the onlookers can only vaguely look at it, it is still too hard. It is so hard to lie down and sleep in front of everyone. After sitting down for three days, it is not just a sore back and leg cramps.
As expected, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight first. You cannot bend down or lower your head.
"But dressed so beautifully, sitting in a high place, being worshiped by so many people, it feels very majestic and proud to think about it." Qin Jiu's young heart, it was interesting to think about it, and he was a little envious: "If I can be a witch for a while, I will
Okay, let’s feel it.”
"This is not easy." Bai Yue actually said: "Manguo is sitting in the float, wearing a veil, and no one can see her face. Just sneak over and stand for her for a while. Maybe she will be happier than you.
.”
I sit there from morning to night, and suddenly someone comes to take my place for an hour. If I were to take my place, I would have to pay the other person and beg him to sit a little longer.
Of course, Bai Yue just said this casually, and Qin Jiu would not take it seriously.
Everyone slept until they woke up naturally in the morning, had lunch, and then happily went out on the street.
You don’t have to be a witch, but you have to join in the excitement.
In the largest square in the center of the city, there was indeed a very dreamily decorated float, with heavy curtains and colorful colors. Just like Bai Yue said, you can see people in the float, but you can never see their faces.
There are three huge wooden boxes surrounding the float, and from time to time someone drops a piece of paper into them.
Bai Yue took a look and saw that these papers were all uniform, with numbers on them. People who voted also had numbers in their hands, so that if they were chosen, they could match them one by one.
"This ceremony is quite interesting." Bai Yue said: "Let's go for a walk. Maybe we can draw the lottery when we come over in the evening."
Although I knew that it was all pre-arranged, I still wanted to see the excitement. Just think of it as a performance by the scenic area employees. And after all, Manguo came from the Holy Land, so if anything goes wrong, they can still take part in it.
handle.
Everyone ate, drank, and came to the square before the lottery draw.
At this time, the square was crowded with people, and two rows of soldiers were blocking the float, which prevented it from being overwhelmed by the surging crowd.
Bai Yue and the others originally wanted to squeeze to the front, say hello to the guarding officials, and see if Qin Jiu could sneak in and feel the attention of all the people.
Seeing this posture, she gave it up and Bai Yue clung to Qin Jiu. It was just like when she used to rush to the temple fair. She could only move forward along with the crowd. If you have second thoughts, you can squeeze her away.
Fortunately, Meng Lan was considerate and prepared a VIP viewing area with excellent sight lines for Jian Yu and the others.
Jian Yu led everyone upstairs. Facing the square, the second-floor terrace could clearly see the situation in the square opposite. The people guarding Meng Lan at the entrance of the small building had cleared out early in the morning.
To ensure fairness, the drawing of lots was done in person by the leader of the Menglan clan.
When the time comes, the curtains on the float are lifted layer by layer, and Manguo in full dress sits inside.
Although Manguo was very panicked, she still maintained her appearance well.
Fortunately, there is nothing to pay attention to, just keep an expressionless face.
Everyone was eating and drinking upstairs, watching Meng Lan reach into the box.
There are three boxes, only one is opened a day, and only one piece of paper is drawn from each box.
Bai Yue squinted his eyes and said, "What Meng Lan took must be the note attached to the box. I saw his wrist hooked."
With such a sharp eye, Jian Yu thought that it would be easy to be discovered hiding private money in the future.
Meng Lan took out the note and handed it to Manguo respectfully.
The crowds of people below were all quiet. When Bai Yue saw it, he felt that it was almost like a lottery draw.
Manguo opened the folded paper and read: "No. 302."
