When the glass followed those people, Shu Shu also followed the glass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You sneak away on your own every time, and if I hadn't gotten up at night, I wouldn't have found you gone. How's it going? Did you find something boring?"
Yan Li nodded and said, "These people are going to give these children to the pig god, let's go over and take a look, I think this pig god must be fake." ”
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Yan Li looked at her and shook her head and said, "You are weak, you should go back and rest, and you will come back tomorrow after you have eaten and you have recovered your strength." ”
Yan Li looked at her eyes and sighed helplessly. No matter what, others can't control her with such a stubborn temper, and now that she sees it, how can she not keep up.
They followed the six men and three children to a remote house. The three men put the child in the cellar.
The Mourning Glass ran out of the courtyard with Shuzhu in tow.
"Why are you pulling me? I'm going to save those kids!"
Yan Li said helplessly: "I have long known that you can't hold your breath, everything will be poked out, now is not the time, we have to let this pig god himself show the true face of Lushan, you can't find the pig god now, he is not here, there is no other taste here except the taste of human beings." ”
The cellar looked like it was some years old, and Shu Shu asked with some concern, "Isn't it safe for those children to be there?" ”
"Don't worry, the god wants fresh offerings, and these children will be safe and sound until they see the god of pigs, but they will be a little frightened. Let's go, let's go back first, it's going to be dawn now, go get something to eat. ”
……
When the two of them came to the streets of the town, all kinds of vendors began to set up stalls in the early morning. As the sun rises higher and higher, the smell of food begins to fill the streets. Shu Shu has been hungry for a long time, and now his saliva is about to flow out.
They bought a little bit of heart, took it and went to the ruined temple.
Chu Lantian asked Xiang'er sat up from the ground suddenly, and when he saw the paper bag that Shu Shu was carrying, he immediately snatched it up, opened it in three or two clicks, and stuffed the steaming bun king in his mouth.
The steamed buns were still very hot not long after they came out of the oven, Chu Lantian kept breathing while eating, and Shu Wei also woke up in the stone pan and simply ate some steamed buns.
"You guys got up really early, but this bun is really delicious, but it's different from Qingqiu's bun......"
Shu Shu glanced at Chu Lantian and said: "That's natural, people here don't eat pork, they eat beef or mutton, and they also eat dog meat...... The bun is stuffed with mutton. ”
Shi Pan said with a smile: "Although this bun is really delicious, but I still miss Qingqiu's pork and green onion stuffed buns, that is enough to taste, and I will eat a few cages when I get to Qingqiu!"
"Hahaha, yes, when you get to Qingqiu, I'll ask a master to make buns for you to eat, how about we make any stuffing if you want to eat?"
Everyone's laughter spread in this ruined temple...... Even the people passing by outside couldn't help but look inside.
After eating, the sun had climbed up the treetops, and they were all sitting and recuperating. Suddenly, I heard a woman's heart-rending cry.
"Let my son go, and my woman may take the place of her brother...... I beg you to ......"
"Crazy woman, why don't you go away quickly? The god of the pig has taken a fancy to your son, that's your blessing! If you cry again, be careful that the god of the pig also has a crush on your girl! Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes......"
A word fell into Shu Shu's ears, and she got up suddenly, so frightened that Chu Lantian next to her fell to the ground.
"Shushu, what are you doing here? Why is there a bug biting you?"
"I'm fine, but I want to go out and have a look. Shu Shu immediately ran out.
"I'll accompany her. The Dead Glass followed behind Shu Zhu. Chu Lantian next to him pouted, and reluctantly got up and followed. Only Shi Pan and Shu Wei were left sitting there. Shu Wei looked at the burned fire in a daze, and Shi Pan looked at Shu Wei in a daze.
The market was very lively, and the crowds of people coming and going were converging in one direction, and the three of them kept walking towards that side with the crowd.
In the open space in front of the city gate, there was a platform with a length of five meters and a width of five meters, and in the middle there was a man with colored feathers on his head, his face painted with white oil paint, his ears were surprisingly large, and his nose was large and broad. With a whip in his hand, he kept muttering something.
"This guy is too ruthless, and it must be very painful to pull this ear like this. You look at the ears that are so big, and they must be swollen between stages, otherwise why are they so red? It must be very painful. ”
Seeing that Chu Lantian was looking carefully, Yan Li asked with interest, "Then why did he do this?"
Chu Lan Tianyu,
"I'm telling you, this man is a wizard. A shaman is another kind of person who connects the gods with the humans. When they are born, they will be constantly pulled by their ears and noses by their families. After more than 20 years of painful torture, they can have such ears and noses, in order to look like pig gods. It is said that in this way, they will also receive more protection. ”
"Stupid!" Looking at the red ears, Shu Shu really couldn't help but say these two words.
"It's stupid enough, how can a god who is so lazy communicate with such a wizard? I'm afraid he doesn't even want to stay?" After speaking, Chu Lantian covered his mouth and smiled.
The people next to him looked at him and gave him a blank look. Chu Lantian immediately shut up, the people of the Pig Wei Kingdom are very respectful of the Pig God, if they talk too much, they will definitely be beaten.
The wizard was holding a blanket of colored fur and a piece of iron shaking in his hand. There was a clanging sound, and in front of him was a round bamboo basket, covered with a black cloth.
The woman had already chased after her by this time, and she cried and cried loudly as she grabbed the platform with her hands, and cried loudly: "Let my son go, I only have such a son, and I will count on him in my old age, and you can't take him away!
"Come on, take this crazy woman away! It's terrible to dare to disturb the wizard's practice!"
A noble man at the table waved his hand, and the woman was suddenly picked up by two soldiers with spears and fell heavily to the ground.
Shu Shu suddenly covered his face and said, "Isn't this the woman? Isn't that the little boy in the cage trying to help us?"
Yan Li grabbed her arm and said, "Okay, don't get excited, I will naturally save him, but not at this time." Let's go and see the woman first, and the fall will not be light. ”
When they squeezed through the crowd, the woman had blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, and her arms were stretched out to find her son on the platform, and she whispered in her ear: "Don't struggle, I will save your son!"
She immediately knelt down and clasped her head vigorously towards the glass. Shu Zhu's eyes were red, she seemed to be about to go crazy, if she could save her son, she would be willing to die. (To be continued.) )
