Feather Wind saw that Princess Youyu didn't seem to be angry anymore, and then said, "We don't have much water and food, so we just picked up some ice cubes to replenish the water source." ”

Princess Youyou's face darkened, he didn't take it seriously at all!

Princess Youyu couldn't help but puff out her cheeks again, but at this time, she suddenly realized that she was still very cold in the ice field.

Feather Wind saw Princess Yuyu hug her shoulders again.

He realized that although the temperature had risen a lot, the environment was still a little unfavorable for Princess Yuyu, so he hurriedly picked up a few pieces of ice and left the place.

"What are you going to do in winter?" asked Feather Wind.

"I always use a kind of Gu worm to keep warm, just like the beneficial bacteria after drinking yogurt. That kind of Gu worm was specially cultivated by my father for a certain Gu master for me. Make them into pills and swallow them, they will be dormant when the temperature is high, but they will become active when the temperature is below sixteen. They keep my body temperature from falling. However, they all have a lifespan. Forgot to bring pills when I came here. So that's it. ”

"We have to find a place to stay before it gets dark, or we ...... tonight"

Princess Youyou's face turned red and said, "You dare to ......"

They were not wrong, and after walking for a while, they did get out of the hailstorm, which seemed to have occurred only in a local area last night.

They lay down on the soft sand, and the sun was really nice today.

Yu Feng turned her head and looked at the princess who was facing the sky on her back, the sun was shining on her face, she squinted at the sky, she was so calm and beautiful.

"Last night, you kept calling someone's name. Feather Wind said.

Princess Yuyu turned her head in surprise and looked at Yu Feng, "Really?

Yu Feng saw that her mirrored eyes were a little flustered and a little shy, and her face was already full of redness.

Feather Wind turned his head to the sky, closed his eyes, and said, "Your mother, you've been calling 'Mommy'......"

Princess Youyou didn't answer, Yu Feng looked through the corner of her eyes, and found that the shyness in Princess Youyou's eyes and the blush on her face had disappeared, but the surprise deepened, and she slowly turned her head away, looking at the sky, without a trace of a smile on her face.

Yu Feng felt that she was reminiscing about something.

Feather Wind didn't mention anything after the wind, and they continued to walk forward in the direction of the sun.

"To be honest, I lack confidence in finding a base for 'Scourge'. This Scorpion City is only a small part of their control, and it is so difficult to deal with, I really don't know how strong the core power of the 'Scourge' will be!" said the Gloom Princess.

"That being said, we have to find it!" said Feather Wind.

"Why are you so determined?" asked Princess Ghost, a little surprised.

"Because I'm going to find Hanakeki!" said Feather Wind.

I don't know why, a trace of unspeakable feelings suddenly rose in Princess Youyou's heart, is it jealousy, is it envy, is it angry, is it moved, it seems that there is a little bit.

"Is that girl really that important to you, risking your life to find her?" asked the princess.

"I never thought about it, but I don't want anything to happen to her!" said Feather Wind with a calm but firm gaze.

Princess Yuyu looked at Yu Feng and suddenly felt that this man was really great.

"I wonder what happened to them?" Yu Feng said, "It would be nice if we had a note on us now, but unfortunately, our note is on Yu Nan." ”

This sentence reminded Princess Youyou, and she suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, I still have a note on me, it was given to me by Principal Xuanyuan!"

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard a dull and depressive voice in the air.

The sound sounded a little creepy in the wilderness, and they looked into the distance, only to see the smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and the yellow sand obscuring the sun, and they did not know what was happening in front of them.

"It can't be that the leader of the Southern District has sent someone, is it?

Princess Youyou also said with a noncommittal look: "I don't know, but it seems to be a village in front." ”

Yu Feng couldn't see that far for the time being, but he definitely believed in Princess Yuyu's pupil power.

When they got closer, they found that it was indeed a village, but there were very few people, about 20 households, all of them were small houses made of sand and soil, and the outer walls were painted with various colors, which still looked quite primitive and artistic.

At this time, they realized that it was a convoy that had caused the smoke, and that the convoy was circling the village, and that there were some dark-skinned young men standing on the car, and they were beating the beat and singing a strange song, and the sound that the two of them heard from a distance was the sound of a drummer in the car, beating the drum.

They seem to be having some kind of big ceremony.

At this time, I saw a man dressed in full costume singing and dancing in a small square.

He was inside a circle painted in white lime powder, with colorful clothes and a large fake tail made of feathers behind his butt.

He carried a string of bells in his hand, constantly shaking, dancing a strange dance around a wooden platform, his face also scratched red, green and white, three colors of the pattern, in a primitive and ancient tone, chanting something.

The wooden platform was three feet three high, and there were steps on all four sides, three steps on each side, and strange runes were drawn on the top of the platform.

"This man looks like a wizard!" said Princess Ghost.

"Well, that wooden platform should be an altar, but this guy is really weird, I don't know what he's doing. ”

"Let's go over and have a look. Princess Yu said.

They walked towards the crowd and saw a middle-aged woman crying among the onlookers.

When she saw a car in the convoy coming, she rushed to it desperately, crying and screaming, and then some people next to her pulled her over.

At this time, Yu Feng saw that there was a little girl wrapped in red gauze in the car, who looked like she was about ten years old, with her hair coiled up, cinnabar between her eyebrows, and gold earrings on her ears.

She looked scared, but she didn't have the ability to resist, so she had a numb expression that gave up resistance.

"I suddenly thought it wasn't a good thing. Princess Yu said.

"They must be using this little girl to make a fuss, and the woman over there is most likely her mother. ”

"Then let's go and ask her what's going on, she looks pretty pathetic. ”

Princess Youyu said, and without waiting for Yu Feng to agree or disagree, she had already pulled her legs over, and Yu Feng had no choice but to follow along.

When Princess Yuyou asked, this woman was indeed the mother of the little girl, her name was Saka, and Princess Yuyou asked what was going on.

Saka wept and told the princess that it was a custom of their tribe to observe the first sunny weather after the full moon in October.

On this day, they will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony and pray to the scorpion god for good weather and prosperity for people and animals.

And to worship the scorpion god, it is necessary to show a ten-year-old girl as a gift to the scorpion god, and this year their daughter is exactly ten years old, so she became a sacrifice.

Feather Wind thought to herself, she didn't expect this kind of vice to be prevalent throughout Sand Scorpion City, this little girl, like Cagalli, was a victim of this ugly custom!

"If you know that girls will be like this when they reach the age of ten, why don't they leave here before they reach the age of ten?" asked Princess Yuyu.

In fact, she knew that things were not so simple, but an emotion forced her to ask this sentence.

"It's not so easy for families that have girls to be counted on the first day of their lives, and there is someone who counts the age of the children. The families who are counted are not allowed to leave the village without permission. If there is any kind of behavior, it will be regarded as a betrayal of the scorpion god, and it will be killed by a rock. When the children reach the age of ten, they are to fast, bathe, and circumcision. Then, the village leaders chose the most beautiful one among the girls who had reached the age of ten, and then they wanted to sacrifice this girl to the scorpion god!"

"But what kind of dedication is the so-called 'dedication to the Scorpion God'?" asked Feather Wind.

"There is a set of procedures, which is to first let the great wizard replace the scorpion god to 'bestow grace' on her. The so-called 'grace' is to take away her virginity. Then, the girl who was 'gracious' was strangled to death with a strip of white cloth, wrapped in cloth, and sent to the quicksand in the north of the village, where she was thrown into the quicksand. Because the Great Wizard said that the quicksand was the expression of the scorpion god against the people, and if he did not show respect for him every year, the quicksand would expand year by year until the entire village was swallowed up. ”

"Isn't there anyone who objects?"

How is this possible, most people are convinced of this statement. By the age of ten, many people will take the initiative to give their daughters. Seeing that the man over there didn't have it, he was Yuzhu's father. Saka said, pointing.

Feather Wind and Princess Yuyu looked over and saw a man with a smile on his face, he was the most cheerful dancer of all the men.

"He is Yuzhu's biological father. Not only did he not feel pity for his daughter, but he felt that it was the pride of the whole family to be able to sacrifice his daughter to the scorpion god. Saka said.

Yu Feng looked at the man with a glowing face and a smile on his face, and a deep sense of disgust arose spontaneously, and he thought to himself: How can a person be so ignorant to this extent!

At this time, the convoy had stopped, and the girl, Yuzhu, had been taken to the great wizard.

The Grand Wizard was dancing to the girl, and Yuzhu was trembling with fright, curled up on the ground, hugging her knees, but the people around her let out bursts of enthusiastic cheers.

I heard a long roar from the Great Wizard, and then several people ran over and surrounded the Great Wizard and Jade Zhu in the middle of the field with a curtain.

The great wizard pressed over the little girl step by step, trying to take away the girl's virginity, and the little girl stared at the great wizard with the heart of the beast with the unknown with a look of unknown fear.

When the great wizard stripped naked and was about to pounce on the little girl, the curtain was torn open, and the great wizard's naked and loose-skinned body was exposed to everyone!

There was an uproar around, and the great wizard hurriedly covered his lower body, picked up his pants and kicked them in a panic.

He turned his face, glared at Yu Feng with anger on his face, and said, "Who are you!? How dare you come and destroy the good deeds of the Scorpion God!?"

Yu Feng smiled: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the Scorpion God, but a good thing for you, right! And your ugliness has been clearly seen by everyone!"
