"I ...... I'm not dead yet......" After a long time, Jing Yaoying slowly came back to her senses: "I'm not dead yet, I'm still a person!"

I don't know if it was nervous, surprised or excited, Jing Yaoying squatted down and began to cry again.

Where did so many tears come from? Where did so many tears come from?

Jing Yaoying knew that she had changed, she had become sentimental, and she could no longer control her emotions at will as she had in the army before.

"It's good that you're not dead!"

Jing Yaoying wiped the tears from her face, returned to the tent, retrieved the mask, put it on carefully, and then sorted out her bags: "Go back, walk back slowly, maybe, I will find my direction again." No matter how bad it is, find a job first, don't everyone else live like this?"

Opening the mobile phone navigation, Jing Yaoying determined her direction.

She no longer takes the desert, she has to walk from a populated place, she has to walk back along a kilometer.

Don't have to eat fried poop anymore?

When I opened the bamboo rice, a fresh fragrance came to my nose.

Li Jiayin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and smiled at Awu: "Thank you!"

When I first arrived at Guibei Miao Village, Li Jiayin really likes to eat fried baba, but the best things to eat can't be eaten every day.

When Li Jiayin came, she knew that the Miao people had a lot of flavor snacks, and after coming to Guibei Miao Village, she still wanted to taste everything, but Awu, who was concerned about her grandmother, was in the mood to make snacks, in addition to fried baba, at most she would make a sour soup that Li Jiayin could not say, and there were leaves floating in the soup, which did not suit Li Jiayin's taste, but fortunately, the water in Miao Jiang was particularly clear and sweet.

In the past few days, Awu's heart has been very entangled, and because of this, Awu has been thinking about things and making bamboo rice in a row.

Seeing Li Jiayin gobbling up, Awu's heart was irritated: "After eating, you can go!"

"Let's go?" Hearing Awu's cold voice, Li Jiayin's heart was shocked: "You just let me go?"

"I know you've done your best...... Awu's tone was a little better: "Maybe, this is fate, this is God punishing my grandma......" said, Awu's face was full of tears.

Li Jiayin's heart ached: "I'm ...... I can stay, at least...... I can reduce your grandma's pain......"

The weak voice made Li Jiayin himself not know whether Awu heard it or not.

To be honest, Li Jiayin didn't want to stay any longer, although she knew how to fight, she always felt that her life was not guaranteed, and she spent every day in fear.

However, when she saw Awuta and Auntie struggling painfully on the death line, she felt a little unbearable in her heart.

Li Jiayin studied medicine, which is the most basic medical ethics as a doctor.

"Don't ......" Awu's anger is getting bigger and bigger these days, and she doesn't like anything, but when she saw Grandma's face distorted by pain, she finally endured the second half of the sentence: Li Jiayin's silver needle can still have the effect of alleviating pain.

Hao tearfully touched Grandma's hand, didn't look at Li Jiayin, turned his head and walked out.

"Uncle Bao, it's been five days, and he still hasn't spoke!" Awu was very helpless.

"I don't believe he can't starve to death!" Po's eyes showed a fierce light.

"Is it just locked up?" Ah Wu thought to himself: "It seems that he has no malicious intent!"

"Like?" Po shook his head: "At the beginning, Se Qi was also kind......

"That'...... What should I do?" At the mention of Se Yu, anger rose on Awu's face again.

"Shut up, it doesn't affect us anyway, just keep it closed like this, see how long he can last. ”

"It's been five days...... "Ah Wu suddenly felt a little unbearable!

"He found it himself, whoever told him not to say anything!" Bao gritted his teeth.

"Well, it's hateful, so let him be locked up like this, but in case he dies......"

Ah Wu originally wanted to kill him, but in the past five days, the other party has not hated or angry, nor shouted or roared, which made Ah Wu feel very strange, and when she looked at the other party with a normal heart, she found that the other party was so young and handsome...... She was starting to get a little unbearable......

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds!

Grandma once said: No one can be beaten to death with a stick, there are good people and bad people everywhere, and they can't be generalized, people's hearts are good, we can't be evil, otherwise, the totem will be angry.

Thinking of the totem, Awu looked up at the silver ball on the head of the golden bull......

"Or ......" Ah Wu looked at Ah Bao: "Uncle Ah Bao, just burn it!"

Killing people is indeed cruel, but it is better to let a person starve to death than to burn him directly.

"Ah Wu, these days, I feel more and more that kid has a story!" Ah Bao's anger disappeared over time: "How do I think, that kid is not so hateful!"

"Uncle Bao, why do you feel this way?" Ah Wu frowned.

"I don't know ...... either" Ah Bao looked back at the totem on the gate of the village in the distance: "But in the past two days, when I walked to the kid's side, I didn't feel a trace of uneasiness, and there was a trace of peace in my heart on the contrary......"

"What's the use of this?" In fact, in the past few days, Awu has also felt this way: "Grandma can't get better anymore......"

"I always feel that our totem is telling us something!" Ah Bao was not answering Ah Wu, but talking to himself.

"How is it possible?"

Since Awu has memory, although every festival, the whole village people go to worship the totem, but the totem has never had a reaction, it is originally a dead thing.

Ah Wu also graduated from college, and knew that this was just a belief, a kind of sustenance, and she never believed that the totem would give a hint to the people in the dark.

The reason why she came back after graduating from college was because of the sustenance in her heart and her grandmother's request.

"It's A-totem that rarely gives hints...... "Ah Bao didn't have such an idea as Awu, because, when he was young, the totem he felt should be alive, but when it began to become a dead thing, he himself didn't know.

Of course, the so-called totem is alive, and it is also the feeling in his heart, but Ah Bao firmly believes that the totem is alive.

"Ahh

From the attic, a terrible cry was heard.

"Grandma--"

"Patriarch--"

When I came upstairs, I saw Li Jiayin holding a silver needle in one hand, and trying to press Awu's mother, who was constantly struggling on the bed, sweating profusely.

"Grandma!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Awu was at a loss.

"Patriarch!"

Ah Bao ran directly to the head of the bed, pressed the other party's shoulders tightly, and gave Li Jiayin a chance to get a needle.

After a stitch, Awu's mother, although she was still moaning loudly, stopped struggling.

Two needles, three needles......

Finally, when Li Jiayin got the twenty-fourth stitch, Awu's mother finally calmed down.

"Grandma--woo......"

Accustomed to Awu's state, Li Jiayin did not dissuade her, she gently twisted the silver needle, and after fifteen minutes, she finally got up.

"The time for analgesia is getting shorter and shorter......" Li Jiayin's words were full of helplessness.

"Heh--heh--"

Grandma looked at Fang Liang and felt Awu's crying, as if she was comforting.

"Grandma......"

"Heh-heh!" the mother's voice sounded so gentle in the midst of the pain.

"Grandma--woo......"

Although "Awu ......" didn't know how to persuade him, Li Jiayin still couldn't bear to scream softly, and put his hand on Awu's shoulder.

"Roll--"

Ah Wu suddenly shook off Li Jiayin's hand, glared at her fiercely, and turned back to Ah Bao and said, "Uncle Ah Bao, let's go!"

"What's wrong, Awu?"

Following behind Ah Wu, Ah Bao's second monk was puzzled: Why did Ah Wu suddenly become calm?

"Burn!" Ah Wu burst out of his mouth with hatred!

"Burn?" Bao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed confusion: "Maybe...... Go up in flames...... Probably a good thing...... Could it be that the totem is for us to give it a sacrifice?"

"Uncle Bao, you mean ......?"

Ah Bao wanted to burn Rong Anran, because she was angry, she needed to be angry, but she didn't expect that her Uncle Ah Bao would say this: "Sacrifice? Uncle Ah Bao, you mean that the totem needs us to sacrifice that kid?"

"Maybe...... I don't know, the high priest is gone, and no one communicates with the totem......" In confusion, Ah Bao began to firm: "Try it, a dead horse is used as a live horse doctor!"

"But ......" The thought of burning a person alive suddenly made Awu's heart feel scared, and he was even more unbearable.

"When I was a child, I heard adults say that in the past, the high priests would sacrifice their enemies......

"That'...... What should we do?"

"Burn it—for the patriarch!"

As soon as he heard that it was for Grandma, Awu suddenly felt that it was natural to burn Rong Anran: "Okay, then burn him!

"But our altar ......"

"Consult with the clansmen!" Although Awu is young, she is not stupid.

"The altar is damaged, and no one knows how to fix it!"

"Let's just use the firewood room as an altar, and really pull people out and burn them alive, it's terrible for the government to know!"

"Yes, let's carve a formation diagram outside the firewood room after the altar, and this should be possible!"

"Let the whole clan kneel in the firewood room and pray, so that the totem will know!"

Talking nonsense, the method of sacrifice was finalized after a while, no one has really seen the sacrifice of their predecessors, everyone relies on their own imagination, anyway, the sacrifice is not their own relatives, it is irrelevant!

"Tomorrow at noon!" Po made a decision: "To burn it clean, you all go and carry firewood, the more the better, and fill the firewood room around!"

At twelve o'clock at noon the next day, Li Jiayin didn't know what was going on in Guibei Miao Village, and from a distance, all the people in the village knelt in front of the house full of firewood, worshipping incense, and chanting words in their mouths while worshipping.

Li Jiayin couldn't hear what they were reading, and even if she could, she couldn't understand it, she was a little curious.

I saw eight people around, respectively according to the direction of the gossip, holding torches, under Bao's command, walking neatly, and at the same time walking to the firewood stack, lighting the firewood, so the fire rose to the sky!

The sound of prayer around them became louder and louder, muffling the "crackling" sound of the firewood, but everyone was praying while carefully capturing the sound in the firewood room.

Quiet, in the firewood room, there was not a single sound.

How could this be? Could it be that the boy was already starving to death?

Ah Wu and Ah Bao glanced at each other......

Awu's eyes were full of nervousness and uneasiness.

Ah Bao's eyes were more surprised and puzzled: What's going on? I went in yesterday to see it, and that kid is still alive and well!

The fire burned for 10 hours, and the villagers still knelt on the ground and prayed, and no one left.

The fire was finally extinguished, and the breeze blew, blowing up a little star, flying less than three or four meters, and then disappearing, and then, blowing again, disappearing again, echoing with the stars in the sky, in the dark night, it was particularly beautiful.

"Okay, let's rest!" Po stood up and shook uncomfortably for a long time before standing firmly: "Perhaps, the totem has accepted our sacrifice......"

Yes, in the past ten hours, there has been no crying and moaning from the patriarch's side!

The sacrifice lasted for twelve hours, and the whole tribe changed from kneeling to sitting, quietly waiting for the end of the sacrifice.

"I'm sorry!"

Awu, who had already stood up, knelt down again and kowtowed nine times to the firewood room, which had turned into ashes......
