Chapter 418: Sacrifice

The woman's home is in a dilapidated building, which looks like a well-located house, and the reliefs on the remaining walls are extremely luxurious.

It's just that even the most splendid building has become worthless after the baptism of war, and now half of the building has completely collapsed, and the other side has also become crumbling because of the artillery fire, and anyone who looks at it will feel that it will be broken at the touch of a button.

On the house, many rooms are exposed, and the furniture and clothes of the former owner are blown by the wind and rain.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. After the woman took Du Feng and the three of them into a fairly complete room, she said very politely.

Du Feng also responded: "It's okay, at this time, we are all difficult people, and it is appropriate to help each other." ”

Speaking politely, Du Feng glanced around the room, although the outside of the house was dilapidated, but the inside of the house was very tidy, it was hard to imagine that in such a place, someone could put the accommodation so neatly.

"Why did you stop the car, don't you know what those people are?" Miyan said with accusations.

The woman pursed her lips and twisted for a moment, and her stomach was already screaming. Mi Yang was relieved and didn't ask, it was even more obvious that this woman was hungry, all to survive, it didn't matter, after all, in this place, what is more important than food?

In the name of jihad, the people here have given everything they have to the extremist groups, and they can only endure hunger again and again, this woman is not the first victim, nor the last, everyone is suffering.

"How long have you been hungry. Miyan said.

"Three days, three days ago, all the food in the house was exhausted. The woman told her situation truthfully, and her words were very convincing, if it weren't for the hunger, who would stop the patrol's car, it was a real jackal, tiger and leopard.

Besenia silently took out a pack of compressed biscuits from her pocket and handed it to the woman.

"There's not much to eat, you eat a little first. Besenia said.

Hearing Besenia's words, the woman stared at the packet of compressed biscuits, but she also looked at the biscuits, and her trembling hands did not raise them, but did not dare to pick them up in mid-air.

Food has become very scarce in Deir ez-Zor, and the sudden gift of this pack of compressed biscuits is like giving a huge amount of money directly.

Besenia knew that it was impossible for a woman to be alone in such a desperate situation without a little vigilance, so she just said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's really no problem with cookies." ”

With that, Besenia tore open the bag, broke off a biscuit and threw it into his mouth.

The woman swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Besenia's approach did indicate that there was no problem, but the vigilance in her heart was still not relaxed, so it was stalemate for a while, her stomach came from a snoring sound again, and finally she couldn't resist the craving for food, she still took the food, said thank you and lowered her head and bit it, but at that moment she seemed to think of something, and turned around and walked towards a room.

The voices of two children were heard in the room, followed by the reassuring voices of women.

"Mom, I'm hungry. A childish voice said.

"Don't make a sound, they're outside, and mom will prepare something for you right away. The woman covered the child's mouth very nervously and made an international quiet gesture.

And on the other side of her was a younger child, who might have woken up from a wake up or a hungry one, his red and swollen eyes were swirling with tears, and he cried out loud.

The woman desperately covered the child's mouth, and said while covering it: "Don't be afraid, mom is here, eat you right away, don't cry." The bad guys out there are going to get you out!"

But this didn't work, the child's crying became even louder, and the woman suddenly panicked at a loss, and at this moment Du Feng came over, took out a biscuit, and made a grimace at the child, and immediately stopped crying.

The woman glanced back at Du Feng gratefully, and said thank you again, she turned around, and did not blame the stranger who suddenly broke in, but turned around, ready to start the work at hand, and a line of crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

She didn't have time to wipe away her tears, and after controlling her sobbing to become the smallest, she began to continue, she took a small bowl, broke the compressed biscuits into small pieces and put them in the bowl, poured boiling water and kept grinding the biscuits, and after a while, the compressed biscuits swelled up, and gradually melted into the water and became a bowl of porridge.

A minute, or two minutes, in any case, no more than five minutes, the woman had no tears after preparing the food, and she walked into the two children with porridge like a mother who prepared a family meal in this peaceful era.

After feeding the two children in turn, the woman found a cardboard box and sat down.

From the woman's cautious actions, Du Feng knew that there was definitely something in this, but he didn't say it out of respect, and when he was confused, Mi Yang's voice came: "They are still kidnapping children everywhere!"

The woman nodded and did not speak.

Mi Yang paused for a moment and said to Du Feng: "The children here are very miserable, they have been imprisoned by extremist organizations for their so-called holy war sacrifice activities. “

"Sacrifice?"

Du Feng didn't know what this meant, in medieval Europe, this kind of sacrificial activity was very popular, at first it was just the use of cattle and sheep, but as time went on, extremist sects began to use living people to sacrifice, in order to try to shelter, I didn't expect these extremist organizations to use living sacrifices here.

"Xinka was caught by them because of this?" Du Feng said.

Mi Yang nodded, and confirmed Xinka's whereabouts, she continued: "Those five children, I brought them out, and then fortunately, the army in southern Jiangsu retreated in a hurry, and they didn't find us, Xinka's children were not as lucky as them, it seems that because they are more special, they look too strictly." ”

Hearing Mi Yang's words, Du Feng also confirmed the idea in his heart, Xinka is here, and he is still collecting children, which means that the sacrifice has not started yet, but when will it start?

"The sacrifice begins tomorrow!" said the woman.

"Tomorrow?"

Facing the stares of the three people, the woman continued: "They have issued an announcement that tomorrow is the day of the coming of the gods, and everyone will go to Deir ez-Zor Square to worship, and at the same time they will sacrifice all the sacrifices, so that the gods will bless the holy war for success!"

"Ridiculous!" Besenia said, clenching her fists.

Allah will not protect them. Miyan said angrily.

However, her demeanor immediately became sad, and what was the use of saying this here? Allah, whom she trusted, did not shelter such devout believers as them, but allowed these mobs in the name of jihad to wreak havoc here.

"Do you know where the children are being held?" Du Feng said.

The woman shook her head and didn't say anything.
