Li Chen and the others were tired and thirsty, and they walked for an hour when they suddenly heard a sound from above. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info There are drums, there is singing, there are the cries of wild beasts.

Zhang Yiguo: "I really want to drink water, water." Can we still save that little sister? I'm starting to hallucinate, and my ears are full of noise. ”

Li Chen suddenly stopped: "It's not an illusion, Lao Tzu also heard it." ”

Zhang Yiguo: "If there are people who live, there will be water." Fast. ”

Li Chen: "Won't you get lost?"

Zhang Yiguo: "It's important to drink water, if you don't drink it again, I'm afraid that we will die before we reach Huadu." Zhang Yiguo was listless just now, but now he suddenly reversed and went straight to the source of the sound at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Li Chen: "Wait for me!" Man! ”

The moon was bright in the sky, and it became a beacon, and they walked first through a small forest, and then walked for a while, getting closer and closer to the source of the sound. Zhang Yiguo ran wildly, as if he had inexhaustible strength in his body. He left Li Chen behind. He ran a short distance, and just as he was about to disappear from Li Chen's field of vision, suddenly, Zhang Yiguo stopped, and he stood in a daze.

Li Chen looked at his back. You're finally willing to stop. What's wrong! ”

Zhang Yiguo hurriedly ran towards Li Chen, and quickly covered Li Chen's mouth with his hand. Then he whispered, "Shhh There is no road ahead. There is a town under that small broken slope, those people look abnormal, they don't sleep in the middle of the night and come to the town entrance to meet, we lie down first, see if there is a road, climb down the village to get some water to drink. ”

Li Chen looked around: "My Futu Tower, it can be extended, there are big old trees here, this terrain is just right for me." ”

Zhang Yiguo: "Be quiet, the people in this town don't look normal. ”

Zhang Yiguo looked around. Li Chen's eyes looked at the people below, and the drums below sounded again, and the people were almost there.

The people of the town walked to the entrance of the town and arranged them in a pattern by age. The gray-haired men sat cross-legged in a large circle, and in the center of the circle was a bonfire, which was about 5 meters high, and the diameter of the circle was about 40 meters long. The young men of the town stand on either side, lined up in the shape of fritters, some of them beating gongs and others playing drums. [In fact, it was standing randomly, because Li Chen was looking at it from above. So the visuals look like this. Children and women line up in a square about 15 meters outside the circle.

Everything was ready, and at this moment, more than 20 people in cool-colored robes slowly walked out of the town. They lined up in two lines, and in the middle of the line pushed a large cage covered with a gray cloth and tied with iron chains, and from their turtle-like steps, the cage was heavy. The cage is slowly pushed into the center of the circle.

An old man dressed richly stood up from the circle with a wooden scepter, and he bowed to the man in the robe.

"The old man has been the mayor of the town for more than 50 years, and he has never heard of this, and in order to protect the safety of the town, he is willing to offer the savings accumulated by the town for 20 years."

Robes Leader. "We're going to raise the price, half the girls and half the boys in this town."

Mayor Mare: "This, this, please, be merciful." ”

Another man in a robe: "Isn't it merciful enough?" We have sacrificed so many brothers for this. ”

The leader of the robes: "If you don't, you'll be left to fend for yourself." The leader patted his cloak and raised his leg to leave.

The mayor threw his scepter away, and then knelt down to the group of women, and the one who knelt was so sudden that no one present reacted.

The mayor: "Old man, incompetent, in order to preserve, our Shanquan Town has a century-old foundation, please choose between them, the old man's position as mayor can be made virtuous, and the family has a missing family, and the old man will give all the assets." ”

The men beating the gongs and drums agreed.

"The mayor of the town has spoken, what else can't be done, I have two male babies in my family, take the younger one."

"I agree, if the child is gone, it can be reborn, and if the life is gone, there is nothing."

The women were unwilling, they held their children and cried. A few fierce people stood up and cursed.

"The child was not born by you, and you don't feel distressed."

"They're children, you brutes."

Leader of the robes: "We will not treat your children badly. ”

Women: "No, we're not going to let you take them. ”

Robed Leader: "Mayor Mare, look at what you can do. ”

Mayor Mare stood up and patted the ash on his knee. "Mountain Spring Town, the man has the final say."

Li Chen was disgusted by this scene.

Li Chen said in his heart, "What! The men of this town are so ruthless, they really don't have a seed. 】

Zhang Yiguo patted Li Chen on the shoulder.

Zhang Yiguo: "I went there and turned around half a circle, there are big trees, so I can put ropes, and the slope is not so steep." Get up, go. ”

Li Chen: "They're going to lift that cloth, wait a minute!" ”

Zhang Yiguo: "Are you still addicted?"

Li Chen: "Addicted to fart, you didn't see just now, how many people in this town have." ”

Zhang Yiguo: "Don't care about your business, find water to drink." While there was no one in the town, I saw that all the lights in their town were extinguished. ”

Li Chen was dragged up by Zhang Yiguo and walked towards the big tree in the distance. Li Chen said in his heart, [I don't know if I can rush to Tianbao Pavilion tomorrow. 】

Li Chen's heart is very entangled, is it important to practice as soon as possible, and find Xia Bing and Nanye to go back to the earth to save his mother together? Or save this little girl who has only been together for half a month? He and Zhang Yiguo went into the town to find water to drink, would there be a sudden change and delay the time to go to Tianbao Pavilion to redeem people?
