I couldn't help but stunned when I saw the man like this: "What's wrong with you?"

The man put down his chopsticks and looked at me: "They are all dead, hey, they are all dead."

I was taken aback for a moment, and then I realized that I had said the wrong thing. This man saved me. I shouldn't have made him sad, so I quickly apologized to him: "Sorry, I shouldn't have said such things."

The man wiped his tears and squeezed a smile at me: "It's nothing, it's actually not a secret. If you want to hear me tell you, after all, no one has listened to it after so many years. I tell the story of their mother and son."

I looked at the man questioningly: "Is it really okay? If it's not convenient, then forget it."

The man smiled at me: "It's okay."

I nodded: "If it's really nothing, just tell me!"

The man hummed and looked up at the ceiling for a while, as if he was caught in his own deep thoughts.

A few minutes later the man lowered his head and told me a story about them here.

I slowly understood. It turned out that it was a custom here that harmed their family. Because it is a mountainous region, people here believe in the mountain god. Every ten years, the high priest here will hold a sacrifice. The ceremony comes to pay homage to the mountain god, and the way of paying homage is the so-called living sacrifice.

The meaning of a living sacrifice is obvious. It is to use a living person to sacrifice to the mountain god. He told me that he loves his wife and children very much, and he has been outside to read books, so he is very opposed to this kind of sacrifice, but because of him His opposition was not only his wife, but even his children were killed by the high priest. As a tribute to the sacrifice, the people in this mountain were very pedantic. Not only did they have no objection, but everyone except himself In support of this sacrifice.

After I heard this, I couldn't help but feel surprised: "Don't you find the government to deal with this kind of thing?"

The man sighed: "What's the use of the government? It's here in the remote villages. When the police come, who will believe me? Everyone is saying that I'm a lunatic, hey..."

I gritted my teeth, and the man put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked outside and looked at the moon outside: "Today's moon is so round."

I didn’t have any appetite at all. I didn’t want to eat when I saw a man like this. He lowered his head and said, "Tomorrow is the ten-year ritual day. Would you like to see it?"

I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't bear to think that a living life would be ruined in the hands of the wizard, so I said to the man: "Okay, but I have a question."

The man turned his head and glanced at me: "Question? What question?"

I thought about it for a while and said to the man: "You said you want to sacrifice your life here, but how did the wizard choose people?"

The man sighed and smiled at me: "So you want to ask this. You don't need to ask me now. Get up early tomorrow. I will take you to see you."

I think the man doesn't want to say too much, plus I just reminded him of his vain wife and children, so I stopped asking.

We went to bed early after eating.

I had recovered a lot from the rest of the night, and the man called me up early the next morning: "How are you now?"

I smiled at the man and said, "I'm getting better, but I want to see Zhuge Yuner, I don't know how she is."

The man nodded and was about to take me away. Suddenly he said to me as if he was thinking of something: "By the way, I have one thing to explain to you."

I was stunned for a moment: "Please speak!"

The man glanced outside, as if to see if someone was coming. After a while, he closed the door tightly: "After you have watched the girl, come out quickly. Don't let the villagers The priest saw the girl."

I couldn't help but froze when I heard this man: "What do you mean?"

The man looked at me mysteriously: "Don't ask more, just remember what I said, as long as you take that girl around the village, no one will care about you."

I think there is something tricky in it, but listening to the man did not harm me, so he nodded at the man: "Okay! I promise you that."

The man hummed before taking me out.

This is the first time I have walked out of the house. Although I told a man it was a mountain village, the scope of the village should not be small. There are houses everywhere, and it looks quite wealthy, and the village must have at least more than 3,000 households. .

The village is very big, but there was no one on the street after the man and I went out.

I couldn't help but feel strange: "Huh? What is going on? Why is there no one in the village?"

The man didn’t expect that I would suddenly ask him something, and he turned around and covered my mouth: “Hush! Keep it quiet, if you say this to the wizards or the high priest, you can’t eat it, you Follow me, don’t go around, once you find out to those people, they will think you are ruining their ritual."

When I heard what the man said so serious, I couldn't help being taken aback. I nodded quickly and followed the man quickly.

After the man walked for a while, he suddenly whispered to me: "Let's take a small path, and it's best not to run into those people."

I made my body uncomfortable for the man's sacredness, but he was also kind, so I didn't say anything, and followed him secretly to the path.

He and I just walked around into a small alley and suddenly heard the sound of suona and firecrackers.

After hearing this sound, the man quickly pulled me toward the door of the house.

The door of that house was locked. I just remembered that the door of every house we passed by was locked. I couldn't help but curiosity, and asked the man in a low voice, "Why do every house lock the door?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and glanced outside: "Well..., because in the morning it is the time when the high priest chooses the sacrifice, so..."

I raised my eyebrows slightly: "Didn't you say that everyone in the village supports sacrifices? Why are you afraid of choosing sacrifices?"

The man chuckled, "Although everyone is very superstitious, no one wants his family to be a sacrifice, right?"

When I heard him say this, I felt right, so I nodded.

We can't see how they choose people when we hide in this way.

The man seemed to have guessed my mind and smiled at me: "You don’t need to watch things like this in the morning, and there is nothing good about them. They are all sad things to say. Which family’s children have been selected? , Ah,, let's not talk about the extra things, hurry up and see your friend."

I was thinking in my mind that it is not good for a living person to lose in this way. I have to find a way to pierce this layer of window paper, and I should avenge my life-saver.

I was thinking about it, and the man dragged me in. "They are here."

I hummed, and quickly pressed my back against the iron gate.

The aura outside seems not small.

I secretly glanced outside. There were about fifty people, all of them young and mature men, wearing patterned masks, naked torso, holding furry things in their hands and beating constantly, just dancing with the gods. People are about the same, they look extremely funny.

In the front of these people, there was a guy with a bowed waist, holding an unlit lantern in his hand and leading the group of people forward. Behind this group of people were several men carrying red sedan chairs.

After they passed, I asked the man, "Is that the high priest in front?"

The man nodded: "Yes, it is said that when the lantern in his hand is lit up at the door of someone's house, he will choose a girl as a sacrifice, but I have been reading books for so long outside, I guess it must be inside. It's tricky."

I hummed and waited until these people left before the man said to me: "Okay, let's go."

I hummed and followed the man around the path for a long time before I arrived at the other house the man said.

The man knocked twice on the door, then knocked twice after a pause.

It looked like a code word.

After hearing the knock on the door, the people in the room hurriedly walked out, opened a crack in the door and took a look. It was a middle-aged woman.

Seeing that I was the two of us, the woman asked the man, "Twenty percent, the high priest didn't come with them, right?"

He nodded: "It's already gone, elder sister quickly open the door and let us in."

The woman then reacted and quickly opened the door: "Come in."

After the middle-aged man and I entered, the woman hurriedly poked her head out, glanced at the door, and then plugged it in again after making sure that there was no one outside.

After returning to the house, Er Chengzi asked the woman: "Eldest sister...How is that girl?"

The woman wiped the sweat on her head: "Nothing, I guess I will wake up in a day and a half, but..."

Seeing the woman hesitating, Er Chengzi was a little anxious, so he asked the woman: "Sister, don't hesitate, what's the matter? Just tell me if you have anything."

The woman said with a hum, "Oh,..., there is a deep tooth mark on the girl’s left chest, as if I had bitten a man... I applied a lot of medicine to that place. It doesn’t get better, is there something about this girl..."

When I heard the woman say this, I immediately thought of the mutated Taoist priests and waved at the woman quickly: "No, auntie, Yoona is a very pure girl, as for the tooth mark on her chest. I can’t explain the wound to you. Even if you explain it, you won’t believe that there will be such a thing. By the way, when will the outside sacrifice begin?"
