Chapter 22: Sorrow in the Wind

As soon as I left the city gate, my body was suddenly tilted to the right by the wind, and I was shocked, thinking that the power of this black storm was too great!

Fortunately, Ding Yi's hands were tied together, so I wouldn't be blown away by the wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut who knew that when I hadn't walked a few steps out of the city, I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my heart, and that feeling was like a thousand years of resentment that couldn't break out.

My already weak body couldn't stand the torture of this feeling, and my throat suddenly became sweet, and my eyes felt black for a while, and then I lost consciousness like a whirlwind......

When I slowly regained consciousness, I was surprised to find that the surroundings had calmed down, and the sky above me was shining with bright sunshine and white clouds, and where was there still the shadow of a black storm?

My first reaction was to pull Ding Yi next to me, but after pulling it, I found that I had a loose scarf tied to my left hand, and the other end of the scarf was empty?!

When I found out that Ding Yi next to me was gone, I began to be a little scared. I don't know why, as long as he is there, I can face any dangerous place calmly, but now...... I'm the only one left.

"Ding Yi, where did you die?" I shouted into the air in vain, but received no response.

In the end, I had to try to calm myself down, because it is difficult for the brain to think normally when people are nervous and afraid. After calming down, I looked around me and found that there was almost no change from before I fell unconscious, I was still in front of the gate of the ancient city, but I always felt that something was wrong......

The weather is very good now, the field of vision can be seen far away, I can see that there is no half a figure outside the city, Ding Yi is definitely not here, is he back to the city? But I can't believe that he will leave me here alone and go back by himself!

But after thinking about it, I found that in fact, Ding Yi and I were not as familiar as I imagined, and so far, I didn't know anything except that his name was Ding Yi and he was Uncle Li's apprentice.

Driven by the instinct to survive, it is understandable for people to choose to protect their lives, after all, no one is your own mother, and there is no obligation to sacrifice life and death to save you.

But having said that, I still felt a little depressed in my heart. I tried to adjust my emotions and decided that I should go back to the city to find Uncle Li and them first, after all, it is really too difficult for a person to live here!

Outcome...... As soon as I pushed the door open, I was immediately dumbfounded, only to see that the ancient city, which should have been empty, suddenly became full of traffic and people. I stood there for a full minute before slowly walking into the crowd of people in the city......

Judging by their clothes, it should be the residents of this place, these people are busy with their own affairs, and they don't seem to notice my existence, and these people who come and go are talking and laughing through this place that looks like a market. Suddenly, a strange thought popped into my head, could it be that I had crossed over?

But I immediately let this idea come to me, it must be that I will think crankily after watching too many TV series! What about crossing? I don't believe it when I say it! But since I am not crossing, how can I explain this scene in front of me?

I tried to greet them, but they all ignored me, it seems that I am not in the same time and space as them, maybe it is just the intersection of a certain point, so that I am lucky enough to see the scene of a thousand years ago!

Suddenly, I was curious to meet the owner of the house we had been living in, so I quickly walked towards the adobe house.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that this was no longer the dusty room, it was well organized, and the owner of this place should be a very diligent person.

At this time, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and a slender woman in plain clothes walked in. The first time I saw her, I recognized her as the corpse bride in the temple!

Don't ask me why I know, because as she slowly approached me, I could feel that "incomparably rich" sadness......

The woman really looks as good as I imagined, although she is not the kind of beautiful appearance that "fell in love with the country at first sight", but people can't help but want to look at her a few more times. It's just that there is a trace of sadness on her face now, as if she has something on her mind.

I looked around the woman for a while, and secretly exclaimed in my heart that it was a pity that such a beautiful woman would be sacrificed to the god of water! Just when I was feeling sorry for it, an old man in white and a few of his subordinates walked in, and seeing that his expression was a little unkind, I secretly pinched a cold sweat for this woman.

It turned out that the old man was a high priest, and he had come to inform the woman that because of the black storm outside the city all these years, he had to sacrifice to the water god in order to keep the water veins in the city. And she, having been chosen as the bride dedicated to the god of water, let her get ready, and the living sacrifice ceremony will take place tonight.

The woman didn't say anything, just looked coldly at the high priest and his party, her eyes full of hatred. After these people left, an old lady walked in quickly, and she kept persuading the woman not to wait any longer, and to marry the man while she was still there!

It turns out that every bride sacrificed to the god of water here is a woman in the city who has reached the age of 20 but is not yet married, and she is exactly 20 years old this year.

The old lady saw that the woman had been unmoved, and she was anxious to shed tears, but she still kept persuading the woman, hoping that she would change her mind.

I looked at it for a while and realized that this woman's name was Yalan, and she was originally the lover of the city lord's youngest son, and she should have been married to the young city lord a long time ago.

But three years ago, the lord of the city listened to the high priest's slander and sent his youngest son out of the city to find a new source of water. Before leaving, the young city lord told Yalan that he would let her wait for him for a year, and he would definitely return to the city to marry her in a year.

But who knew that after the young city lord left the city, he didn't hear from him, Yalan waited for him year after year, but he never waited for this young city party to come back. Later, she learned that all this was a conspiracy between the high priest and the eldest son of the city lord, and it was they who designed to kill the city lord's younger son. Now the eldest son of the city lord wants to force Yalan to marry him, otherwise he will be sacrificed to the god of water.

Yalan knew that her lover might have been buried in the sand sea, and she had no intention of living alone, although she had no ability to avenge her lover, but she couldn't marry the enemy who killed her lover!

So she resolutely agreed to be the bride of the god of water......

Although I have seen all this, there is no way at all, let alone change history, it is difficult to touch the things in this space, and I am only a witness to this history.

A short time later, a group of sturdy women walked in, and they had come to change into Arlan's bridal clothes.
