With my tears rolling down, the priests walked past us with torches.

In the hazy eyes of tears, I saw clearly that it was an old woman who was sent to the sacrifice, maybe it was not appropriate to call her an old woman at all, I have a memory of her, because in the past few days, I have talked to her, and she told me that she is 49 years old, and she is mentally ready to die at any time, but I hope that her husband and two children are safe outside the town, and she said that she is willing to do anything for them.

"At the beginning, I discussed with the man who would stay, I said I would stay, he said he would stay, and then I told him that he was a man, and when he arrived outside the town, it would be easier to survive, even if he made efforts, he could make life better, this was for the sake of the child, so he went out, and I stayed." When she said this, her expression was peaceful, and I could see a sense of happiness in her expression.

I remember on the first day, when we got a lot of food back, she held the bowl in both hands, smiled and whispered, "I'm glad I can eat enough at noon today." ”

This is just a woman who has crossed paths with me for a few days, even a woman who doesn't talk much, is a little silent, and now she is disemboweled, and my tears can't be stopped, and the more I think about the few scenes of the short intersection, the more I choke.

And it wasn't just me who shed tears, we all know the existence of this group of poor people, and now they are pretending to 'surrender' and sacrificing themselves, just to give us a chance, believing that we can bring light to them.

I bit the back of my hand, it was really uncomfortable, but I had to cherish their hearts, I had to endure it.

The wind blew across the banks of the Yellow River, and the cloaked men had passed in front of our eyes, and I wiped away my tears, and then stood up, and blended into their ranks with gentle and swift movements, and my companions did the same, after all, under the cover of the night, under the cover of the cloaks, these people would not turn back, and it was easier than we thought to be in them.

Walking to the bank of the Yellow River, the procession stopped, the trays were placed on the bank, and the people who had been holding the trays began to recite strange sacrificial prayers, and then little by little they threw everything that poor woman had, and the Yellow River responded with a few small silences, and Ruyue, who had been standing beside me, suddenly became unsteady, and I heard her whisper: "How sad it must be for her husband and son to know." ”

At that moment, I didn't have tears welling up, I just clenched my fists angrily, and my hard nails pierced my palms, as if such a heavy heartache could be relieved.

As the sacrifice was thrown, the faint joy began to grow louder, and the crowd began to boil, perhaps because it was a few 'old stubborns' who were sacrificed this time, and these people were extremely excited, and the cheers were even louder than the last time I had seen a large sacrifice, and as for what was just thrown, they probably didn't care at all.

The joy was approaching, and the sound of the boat breaking was finally faintly audible, and then the people who were extremely excited began to kneel one by one, and all of us in the group subconsciously looked at me.

I watched the night tonight, the moonless night, sometimes compared to the heaviness of life, some things may have been as light as a feather I knelt silently, as long as I could enter that holy village, destroy that source, and repay this group of poor people, what about kneeling? What I kneel in my heart is that they have not given up on the bottom line that they are human beings.

As I knelt down, our group knelt down one after another, and became one with the depravity.

The person in charge of the sacrifice was still Wei Donglai, and as the ship approached, his excited and excited voice sounded again, and I was not interested in what he was saying, except that he was praising a 'great victory', which illustrated how different the sacrifice was this time.

With the end of Wei Donglai's verbosity, the ship has already docked.

Sure enough, there was no such mysterious big ship as it appeared, but only two small boats that really loaded people at the beginning, still decorated, with festive red flowers, appeared here.

There was a helmsman on both ships, no different from the one that had appeared last time, both dressed in the typical Great Northwest dress of some years, wearing hats, and waiting quietly.

At this time, the wind was stronger, and the few old people who were tied up and ready to be sent into the holy village began to be pushed forward by some people, constantly approaching the holy boat, I silently counted 123 in my heart, and then suddenly burst out and shouted: "It's now!" ”

The beach was not too flat, there were some small stones on it, my feet hurt, the wind blew on my face, and the black cloak I wore was raised high, but these could not slow me down, and now I only saw the so-called guiding ship full of mystery.

Because the speed was too fast, the people who were kneeling didn't know what was happening, and some people raised their heads when we had already run more than ten meters.

The speed allowed us to jump over the old men who were being pushed forward, and although there were two boats, it was impossible for us to be dispersed according to the plan, and it was better to huddle together in such a mysterious and unknown place, so Hui Gen'er and Tao Bai, who were running at the front, jumped into the first boat.

The reason for this is that we don't know what the so-called messenger is, but as long as it has a physical form, it is always right to let the most powerful person go, so as to ensure that the messenger can be restrained in an instant, so that he can lead us to the holy village.

"Ahh Tao Bai and Hui Gen'er roared and rushed towards the messenger, and some of the messengers who were originally facing all the changes also let out a roar that was not like a human, but a little like Wei Donglai's roar, and pounced towards Hui Gen'er and Tao Bai.

Strangely, the so-called messenger on the other boat did not respond at all, still waiting for people to send the old men to his ship.

I don't have time to wonder why the ship's messenger reacted this way, for the people are now completely awake to what has happened, and they are as angry as we have desecrated their ancestors.

In order to avoid being entangled by these crazy and angry crowds, we jumped on the small boat that was rocking because of the struggle between the three of us, almost without thinking.

The deck was not very large, and there was a danger of subversion with so many of us standing on it, so we rushed into the cabin one by one, and I didn't follow in because I wanted to finally control and monitor the messenger, but I didn't sit idle, I simply picked up the pole and gently moved towards the shore, and then the rickety ship floated away and left the shore.

Wei Donglai on the shore was shouting angrily, as for what to shout, I didn't care at all, but I was busy making the ship offshore, but I heard it very carefully, Xiao Chengqian, who rushed into the cabin first, and Hui Gen'er, who was fighting with the so-called messenger, burst into a foul language at the same time.

The curtain of the cabin was lifted by Xiao Chengqian, his eyes were a little confused at the moment, and he said to me forcefully: "Chengyi, don't come in, there is something in here that makes people delirious, Brother Chengxin has been tricked." Then Xiao Chengqian fell backwards with a 'poof', and the door curtain closed the cabin again.

And before I had time to worry about Xiao Chengqian, I saw that the messenger's cloak had been lifted, and finally revealed the so-called 'true face', and the first time I saw it, I couldn't help but curse in my heart 'I X'!

This is simply the most unhuman person I have ever seen, I did not expect that under the wide robe and hat, there is such a face hidden, if you want to describe it, it can be very apt in one sentence, just like a person who has 'anorexia' to the advanced stage.

He wasn't humanoid at all, his dry skin clinging to his bones, like a skeleton wrapped in human skin! can look at the fight between him and Huigener Taobai, but the strength is incomparably great, how did such a body burst out with such vitality?

Let's just say that these 'vampires'!

While I was in a daze, the ship was drifting farther and farther away, and the messenger, who was silent even fighting, suddenly spoke and said to us in a dry, hoarse voice with a grinding sound: "If you want to go, then go, there is no point in fighting, do not hinder me from holding the boat." ”

Huigen'er and Tauber looked at him in disbelief, and then at me.

I said, "Then let him go." "It's just a matter of intuition, and I think he's telling the truth.

Hui Gen'er and Tao Bai let go of the so-called messenger with some hesitation, he picked up the hat and put it back on with an expressionless face, and then propped up the oars: "You all go in, otherwise there is no way to take you there, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

"No, I have to stay in the bow." I'm persistent.

"That's up to you." The messenger was as cold as no human being.

And we started with such a boat, and drifted into the so-called holy village.
