Su Xi was a little happy after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask a few more words: "The sacrificial ceremony, but everyone in Wu Village has to participate?"

Jiang Yihui thought for a while and nodded: "The general situation is like this, unless there are any special circumstances. ”

Jiang Yihui still had room to speak, which made Su Xi inevitably murmur a little more in his heart, in this way, those people in Mangosteen Tower might not participate.

Yes, in Zhong Yuli's heart, the sacrificial ceremony is just another opportunity for the villagers to worship her and demagogue again.

And in recent days, Zhong Yuli has indeed not looked for Su Xi, and even the witch doctor Sui Zheng has disappeared, probably, they are all preparing for the sacrificial ceremony.

When returning to the room, Su Xi deliberately made a detour, and slipped from the sheep intestine path to the back mountain while everyone was not paying attention.

Not surprisingly, Su Xi saw a number of guards surrounding the bamboo building, some of whom were Jiang Yihui's subordinates. In fact, the question that Su Xi has always been curious about is why Yuli suddenly sent so many people to guard the bamboo tower, in the final analysis, the purpose is to prevent Jing Hao's escape, or to prevent someone from coming to see him?

The former is unlikely, judging from Su Xi's temptation of Jing Hao in those days, Jing Hao has Gu worms in his body, and he can't do without an antidote, plus the reason that Su Xi is most reluctant to hear, Jing Hao said that he likes jade fences, there was no one to guard him in the past, and he would not leave if he didn't lock it, and now there is no need to send more people at all.

All, most likely, the latter.

Su Xi thought about it from the beginning, could it be that he was targeted by someone when he came to see Jing Hao? and then denied it, because once Yu Li was sure that Su Xi had come to see Jing Hao, Su Xi would not have a good time in the future.

Or he left some traces and let the jade fence notice it.

Now that I think about it, there is only one possibility.

On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, it was the time when everyone from Wu Village gathered in the big square on the mountainside, that is, if Su Xi could take Jing Hao away at this time, it would be the time with the best chance of winning.

The question at the moment was how Su Xi could avoid the eyes of these people, enter the bamboo building, and take Jing Hao away silently.

Suddenly, Su Xi's mouth was covered, and his body involuntarily staggered backwards.

Horror instantly hit Su Xi's brain, and her hands were picking and pinching her hands, but when she smelled the smell of medicinal herbs, she quieted down.

After arriving at a corner, the man behind him let go of his hand, but he was not afraid that Su Xi would take advantage of the gap he let go to call out.

"How do you know it's me?" Sui Zheng's voice came.

Su Xi turned around and saw that Sui Zheng was checking the traces on his hands that had just been caught by Su Xi, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you at first, and I reacted when I smelled the smell of medicinal herbs in your hands." ”

Sui Zheng smiled, but the smile looked a little bitter: "You are clever, should I praise you for how well you know about pharmacology, or should I say that my identity is too easy to be recognized?" "Even an outsider who has known each other for less than a month can recognize her, I have known her for many years, but I don't even have this tacit understanding. ”

Sure enough, he was talking about Yuli, probably the same situation, Sui Zheng was disappointed that Yuli didn't give him an answer like Su Xi.

If a person is not familiar enough with you, or even unwilling to use his brain with you, it may really mean that you do not have much meaning and importance to her.

Su Xi hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Why did Doctor Sui come here, isn't he preparing for the sacrificial ceremony?"

Sui Zheng smiled faintly, somewhat self-deprecating: "Prepare? What is there to prepare? The villagers are indeed preparing food and clothing for the sacrificial ceremony, and there are some fasts, as for me, I don't need to prepare anything." ”

Su Xi didn't know the customs of this witch village, but he wasn't curious, so he just habitually asked, "Why don't you have to prepare?"

Sui Zheng smiled even more bitterly: "Do you think that for a person who knows the truth, what is the point of preparing this?"

I don't know why, Su Xi seemed to hear despair from Sui Zheng's tone.

The topic was too heavy, and Su Xi thought of the question he had just asked Jiang Yihui: "Doctor Sui, apart from you, do people from other Wu Village have to participate in this sacrificial ceremony, and under what circumstances will they not participate?"

Sui Zheng looked at Su Xi and seemed to be able to see through her true thoughts: "I know what you want to ask, but I can only tell you regretfully, I don't know." A few days ago, I got angry with Yuli and complained a few words to her, I guess, she has begun to be very suspicious of you, if you can, in the days before the sacrifice, you look for an opportunity, escape, if you need help, I can help you. ”

Su Xi was puzzled: "Why should she doubt me?"

Sui Zheng looked at Su Xi apologetically: "You were right, I connived at her, but in fact I was also her accomplice, if she was allowed to develop like this, sooner or later she would become the object of spitting and trampling on the villagers in Wu Village." Nothing is forever impermeable, and the reason why Jade Fence can receive such respect is entirely because of the prestige and reputation left by the previous priest, and of course, because of her identity. And she used her identity to do a lot of outrageous things, I should have reminded her and admonished her. ”

Sui Zheng's face showed a look of remorse, and he continued: "I also came to my senses after you came, if I don't remind her now, she will go further and further on this path that deviates from her duties, which is not good for herself and not good for Wu Village. And my reminder and admonition to her, she thinks that it is your instigation, but I am afraid that now she is very wary of you, if it were not for the preparation of the sacrifice ceremony, she would definitely come to you for trouble. So I'm here to tell you that while she's busy with the sacrificial ceremony and doesn't have time to take care of you, you'd better leave as soon as possible. ”

Su Xi shook his head: "You obviously know that if I can't take my husband away, you won't leave." ”

"Then what if I tell you that you can't take him with you at all?" Sui Zheng said with some anxiety.

Su Xi looked at him vigilantly: "Why do you say that, did the jade fence let you not only put Gu worms in his body, but also some other things? Can't take it away? As long as you give me the antidote, how can I not take him away? In the final analysis, your heart is still towards the jade fence, after all, you still help her to deal with me, persuade me to go, and don't want me to take my husband away." ”
